Hi all, I've got a 30 Gig gen 3 iPod running the latest (ver. 2.2) software. It seems that after the last update every time my iPod resets the volume gets pegged! I don't notice it in the car because I'm using the line out. When I get to work and plug in my headphones ... ouch! Has this...

I created a smart playlist called "Unrated" (the criteria being all songs with no rating). Every now and again I run through this list and rate some songs; as I do they "fall off" the list. What's cool is I can rate them on my iPod, and when I sync with iTunes my songs (and ratings) are updated...

Dude, It doesn't start until Sunday ... Marc

Yes, you should see the name of the access point. I don't think you have to have SSID broadcasting turned on to connect, it just makes it easier, as you can just select the access point and not have to input the name. Once you establish the connection you can probably disable the broadcast...

If the iMac isn't even seeing the wireless network, try picking another channel on the router. The first time I tried accessing a wireless network with my Powerbook it drove me nuts; wouldn't see the network. Once I changed channels, no problem. I also found that I had to put in the hex...

Hey Trip, It's very cool; I just tried it. The iPod plays songs at random from your library, and lists four possible answers for the title of the song. You scroll up or down and hit the button to select your answer; and the quicker you are the more points you score (for correct answers, that...

Thank you. Maybe I'll try the Archive and Install using Jaguar just to get an idea of what I'm in for (after backing up with CCC, that is!) Thanks again. Regards, Marc

I'm currently running 10.2.8 on a Powermac G4 with two hard drives (a 60 Gig and a 120 Gig). The 60 gig drive is my boot drive, but my iTunes and iPhoto libraries are on the 120 Gig drive. There's an alias to my Pictures folder in my Home directory, and the library files in the Music folder in...

Bob, Me, too. They say it should arrive the evening of the 24th. The Apple Stores will be having a launch from 8:00 PM to Midnight that night. Regards, Marc

Captain Code, Thanks for the information and log samples. I just got Pocket Mac v3.0 to sync my Dell Axim with my Powermac G4. This version of Pocket Mac will sync with either Entourage or Mail, Calendar, and Address Book. I like Entourage because of the catagories, but if it's broken due to...

What is a depreciated API call? Also, have you seen / tested the Mail and Calendar apps in Panther, and if so how do they compare to Entourage? Thanks. Regards, Marc

If I remember correctly, you have to order the Bluetooth module when you order your G5, since the module is now on the motherboard, and can't be added later on. Airport Extreme can be added later on, as it's a card that gets plugged into a slot. The G5 comes with antennas for both Bluetooth and...

Is it peanut butter and jelly? Marc

Once you open the right side panel, it would be on the panel towards the front, to the right of the fan. According to the manual, the card goes in with the hole for the antenna to the left. If he doesn't have the manual handy you can doenload it from Apple's web site. Regards, Marc

His G4 might have a socket for an Airport Extreme card ($100 from Apple). If not, probably any PCI wireless card should do. I've got an Airport Extreme card in my Powerbook, and to get WEP to work I had to put in the hex codes; it wouldn't work with just a password. (I put the password in my...

The Dock gives you a Line Out jack that you can connect to your stereo. If you try to do that with the headphone jack you'll have to crank the volume all the way up, which is not a problem until you forget to turn it down and plug your headphones in again (ouch!). I absolutely love my iPod, and...

Ant, The Energy Saver part of System Preferences (towards the top) has different "schemes" (for lack of a better word) in a drop down box, and one of them is called "DVD Playing" (or something like that. I'm not at my Mac right now...) If you pick that you should be able to watch the whole...

Does anyone running Panther have a MAudio Revolution 7.1 sound card? If so, were the drivers already in Panther, or did you have to use the Jaguar drivers from MAudio, and, did they work correctly? Also, does the DVD Player in Panther support 5.1 Surround Sound? I read that the version of Jaguar...

The iPod is powered (and the battery charged) by the firewire port, as long as your Mac is on. If the Mac goes to sleep, the iPod doesn't charge. Unless you changed the settings the iPod should turn itself off after 2 minutes (I think) of inactivity. If you want to turn it off just hold down the...

Clark, You're welcome. I'm glad I could be of help. Regards, Marc
