How did you get your music onto the iPod Touch without having iTunes installed on your PowerBook? You need to tell us that if we are to help. If you had someone else do this for you and some of the music on your iPod Touch was purchased by them from the iTunes store, the only way the files...

If you can get Leopard (assuming your machine will run it), using Time Machine is the best way to go. Whatever you'd pay for backup software is better put into OSX 10.5 anyway. If you want a free way to do a backup, download Carbon Copy Cloner. It will take a while to do the backup and the...

I'm not sure what your en0 hardware is, but most people only need to spoof their MAC address when they are using a cable modem. Some cable companies setup the cable modem to work only with 1 computer. They do this by entering the MAC address of the computer into the cable modem so the cable...

Can I use iMovie to play a background track while iMovie records me playing my guitar over this background track? I absolutely cannot record the video of me playing without the background track playing at the same time. I am supposed to accompany this track so laying them down separately...

A friend bought a Wacom Bamboo Fun (replacement line for the Graphire4) tablet and under Tiger 10.4.11, I tried out Inkwell. When I wrote in cursive with the tablet pen, I was lucky to have 1 or 2 letters appear in a word. The rest was all junk. When I printed, it was better, but 1 or 2...

I own a dual 2GHz PowerPC PowerMac and would like to know if anyone has tested a similar dual PowerPC Mac's iMovie 08 Render time vs that of an intel Core2 Duo Mac's iMovie 08 Render time for the same movie. I really want to know if there is a significant reduction in render times with the...

Look in your home folder then go into the Pictures folder. You should see a file called iPhoto Library. If that isn't there, then they are gone (unless you moved this file yourself). If it is there, this file is what contains all of your pictures. It might be corrupt. If so, ask on this...

I had OSX Tiger on my main computer and decided to remove that drive and put it into an older Mac which is on the certified list to run Tiger. After starting up I get the ? and Mac System folder. It worked fine when it was in my previous computer. What can I do to get the older Mac to boot...

Sounds like the original poster's problems stem from buying it off ebay to save money. Chances are pretty good that the original owner either did something to it or it was just defective and they decided to pawn it off on some other unsuspecting soul. Even if it was shrink-wrapped, that...

How much did you pay for the wifi adapter? You can get a Buffalo WLI2-PCI-G54 for between $29.99 and $39.99 and it is recognized as a native Apple Airport Extreme card (802.11g). If you paid around this much, take it back and order the Buffalo card. It has no hassles. I have one in my Blue...

The Apple "Sound Check" doesn't work. I still have to change the volume when I come to certain songs being played on my iPod Click-Wheel (4th Gen). Can anyone recommend 3rd party "Sound Check" software which will actually change each songs individual volume setting so that every song is...

I have the iPod (click-wheel) 4th Gen with B&W screen. Sorry about that. Looks like the Belkin is the way to go moving photos direct to the iPod (though not viewable). What about moving photos to the newest iPods? Is there any way to do so without the use of a computer AND be able to...

Does anyone know of a hack to get pictures to show up (in Black and White of course) on a 5th Gen 20GB iPod? I really hate that it doesn't support pictures. There must be a way (without installing Linux on the iPod) to do this with a hack. While I'm at it, is there any way to play video...

Forget about the F5D7000 unless you get it used somehow. They discontinued manufacturing the one with the broadcom chipset. I know, because I bought one and the version number was too high. The cheapest way to go is to buy a Buffalo Technologies WLI2-PCI-G54. You can get it NEW for...

Has anyone made or know where I can get an Automator AppleScript which prompts the user for a size in Megabytes and then creates a Disk Image? What I am ultimately trying to do, is create an Automator script which will take all my iPhoto pictures and all my iTunes music and put it all on a...

Here is your problem. According to other sources I have found on the web, if your boot hard disk free space is less than the larger of 5 Gb, OR ten percent of its Capacity, then MacOSX is slowing down because it feels you don't have enough hard disk space. You say you have 5 GB left, so it...

Make sure your router is using DHCP to hand out an IP address dynamically to your laptop. You also have to set the laptop to accept dynamic IP addresses. If you don't want to do this, you should manually set the laptop's IP address and subnet mask. Just see what the IP is on for your...

Get the Buffalo WLI2-PCI-G54 54Mbps Wireless Desktop PCI Adapter. I bought one for my Blue and White G3 Rev 1 PowerMac and it works like a charm. It thinks it is an Airport Extreme card so you don't need any software other than Airport.

You may have an old router that doesn't support WPA. You should go to the router manufacturers website and see if you can get a firmware upgrade for the router to allow it to do WPA. Your Airport entry in System Preferences > Network might be screwed up. Here is a suggestion. Go into System...

You have to go into your router and change the option from WEP to WPA or WPA2. Then you need to set a password (preferably 20+ characters in length) and then when the router restarts, you need to choose WPA or WPA2 encryption and enter this 20+ character password into your Airport card's...
