Trying to decide whether to buy the Intel Mac. Is the current version of Final Cut going to be severely handicapped? Terry

This was the answer......thanks. Terry

Do you suggest trashing the old Quicktime first, or re-installing over it? Terry

Nope......same message......camera in use by another application. I shut down & restarted to be sure nothing is running. Still same response. Terry

The camera is built into the iMac. Would unplugging the computer help? Terry

THIS TIME WITH THE LISTED PROCESSES:

PowerPC. Restarted, no change. Applications running: Activity Monitor midimport pipedaemon Dock HP Communications Finder System UlServer pbs loginwindow STSServer When the Activity Monitor opened it also listed iChat Agent and something starting with "Syndication...." --...

PowerPC -- and I'll do your suggestions in the morning. Thanks. Terry

Just set up the new G-5 iMac. Went through the Setup Wizard, the camera took my picture for the Account record. Then, when I opened iChat the screen said the camera is in use by another application. No other applications are open. Ideas would be appreciated......what am I missing? Terry

My son has an iMac, roughly year 2000, I assume a G-3 back then, and running System 9. I'd like to give him iChat and an iSight camera so we can see our grandaughter. Will it work?....or what would be involved in getting it to work?

Hmmmm. What we want to use it for is plotting, say, a hundred different addresses at the same time, in any given market, using an Excel spreadsheet containing the source addresses. Any idea if Route 66 can do something like that?

What Mac-compatible software can be used for plotting multiple addresses on a map? We've used Microsoft's MapPoint, which is not MAC compatible, and I'm looking for a comparable program for Mac. Would appreciate all suggestions. Terry

When operating on battery, my 15" Powerbook (10.3.9--2 years old)) used to auto-sleep when battery strength was very low -- say 2%-3%. Now it does so, and must be plugged in to awaken-- when battery strength meter says 55%-60%. After awakening the meter says 0%. Also, battery seems to be...

I'm installing Digital Performer on my Cube and 15" TiBook. Everything worked fine on the Cube. On the Powerbook, when I enter my name and Key to open the software the first time, it processes for 20-30 seconds then requests my name and key again....over and over. It opened the first time on...

I put a new HD in my Cube & installed OSX. Before I did so, I was able to connect from my TiBook, using the Cube as an external hard drive in Target Disk Mode. Now, I get the Cube icon on my PB desktop OK, but when I try to do anything in it the PB (or something) locks up. A related problem...

Satcomer........With your help I located the part, instructions, and tools -- and made the repair today in about 30 minutes.....and for around $160 instead of $700 minimum bid. Wasn't very difficult -- a few nicks and it's working like new. I only replaced one. Thanks again. Terry

Just finished installing a new hinge on my TiBook -- total cost around $150.00 -- thanks to help from some of you. There are a few nicks, but otherwise it was really pretty simple. Would be happy to answer any questions. Thanks to all who pointed me to the parts, etc. Last time I checked...

The start-up options preference--in addition to OS X has two other icons -- for 9.1 and 9.2.2 -- When I tried to open in System 9 I got the Mac with the "?" At the time I didn't notice there were two options, am not sure which I selected. Anyway, I reopened with the start-up disk, went back to...

Thanks for the tip. I ordered the part ($135) and DL'd the manual ($9.95) and we'll see how it goes. It doesn't look easy--given the epoxy bonding that holds the display case together--but also doesn't look like it's worth $700-$1,800 -- the range of quotes I got from Apple and a local...

Broke a hinge recently. Don't know if it's wear or damage, as my 15" PB goes everywhere with me and could have been damaged along the way. No Apple Care coverage. My local Apple store will ship it to Apple to replace the screen and back/bottom of the computer. The hinge is integral parts...
