FAT32 or HFS+ with MacDisk (for the PC). NTFS is not readable by the Mac. My solution is to network my PC and Mac via 100-B-T and share one of the PC's drives. Then I simply log in from the Mac (OSX's "Connect to server...") and drag files/folders in either direction. Obviously, this only works...

The previous posts include lots of very helpful information. The only thing I can add is to use Windows 2000 Professional rather than anything earlier. It's the first really stable version of Windows and, under VPC on my Dual-867 G4, is usable for things that are not processor intensive (Access...

The firmware suggestion is good; critical, in fact, or you run the risk of disabling your iMac badly enough to make it a -major- pain in the ass to fix. Secondly: Double-check the brushy slot for any foreign mat'l. If it's pretty gunky, consider opening the iMac and popping off that slot...

As long as you're both on the same intranet, turn on Windows File Sharing for the particular folder or drive (with a right-click you can see the option). You'd need to setup a user on the PC who will have access to that folder/drive. Then, on the Mac, simply select "Connect to Server" from the...

I usually sort by length, scroll down, and stop when I find identical times. It is possible that different songs have the same times but titles can be quite different and yet be the same song. Your mileage may vary....

I developed quite a number of stacks in HC - intranet eMail, labor estimation, etc. I've switched to Revolution (www.runrev.com). It's what HyperCard would have become if Apple had not abandoned it. Download the free version, play with it, but make sure you join the mailing list (which you...

Wipe out the installation and start from scratch with the System Restore disc, verify that it is completely updated (including any firmware updates!), then install Jaguar and update that completely. Report back when done.

It is possible that you need to set the IP address of the JetDirect to something in the same subnet as the rest of your network. Is this one of those boxes that connects to a USB printer? If so, you will definitely have to use your web browser to configure it as the Mac software HP provides...

I bought the Brother HL-5070N for about $450 delivered; it's cheaper now at pagecomputers.com. The HL-5070N is network ready (10/100-Base-T on board), prints incredibly fast, and can be upgraded with more RAM if you need it. I haven't needed it (yet, but will probably do so in the next few...

D-oh! I didn't read your question fully. You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable CD. Search for it on versiontracker.com. Regards, Barry

You need to to this booted into OS9 (not "Classic" in OSX). 1. Launch Toast Deluxe. 2. You're going to make a "Data" CD but it MUST be MacOS, NOT "MacOS Extended" so use the popup menu to select it. 3. Click the New CD button and rename the "Untitled CD" to whatever you want. 4. Drag...

Androo, Why not iMovie? Is the media converter -not- doing DV? Perhaps it's doing mpeg1/mpeg2? In that case you'd need something to edit those formats. Please advise.

Trash the 8500. It was the most difficult machine in Apple's "tower" line to even take apart. You had to disassemble almost the entire unit just to add RAM. When you're done, you'll still have a dog. You'd be better off buying an eMac like this one: http://dealmac.com/articles/52543.html...

Verify that one drive is set to Master and the other to Slave. Word in the forums is that the Pioneer should be set to Master and the combo to Slave. I just installed a DVR-105 into a new G4 (with the non-Pioneer DVD burner) and set the drives as above with the Pioneer below the existing burner...

Launch System Prefs, click on Network, click on Show Network Configurations, uncheck everything except Ethernet, click "Apply". Restart. If that doesn't work, reinstall OSX.

While the DVR-106 is a +- burner, there's nothing that says Apple will use this drive. I see they're using another brand in the dual-1.25GHz models currently shipping. Even if they do use the -106 drive in the G5 (and the specs call out the -105), there's nothing that says iDVD ("Authoring...

Linksys routers have a timing problem when power is cut suddenly (like a power failure). I have a cable modem and, when the power fails and comes back on, there can be an issue where the router is working for the LAN (DHCP working fine) but there's nothing passing through the WAN port. I simply...

I think you will have fewer problems and have a more reliable printer if you purchase the ethernet option. According to the Lexmark specs, the printer supports Postscript so the ethernet adaptor (from Lexmark) will provide the best compatibility.

I've been playing with SVCD (mpeg2) encoding in OSX for a number of months and have found nothing that provides an accetable result (unless you are willing to let your Mac grind away for 10-12 hours while encoding takes place). A reasonable alternative is a product called "Instant DVD" from...
