I purchased and downloaded the new Carl Cox album (from the iTunes store) which is actually a continuous mix of 15 or so songs rather than an album with gaps between songs. However, despite setting Gap Between Songs = 0 seconds in the Preferences/Options within iTunes, the burnt CD actually...

Unfortunately it seems that my d2 was actually connected to my Powerbook during a simple upgrade to Tiger 10.4 which apparently causes problems in Tiger - i.e. it simply does not mount. The Lacie drive appears correctly in Disk Utility, but not on the desktop or in the finder. Does anybody...

I have just purchased a Canon IP8500, and installed the latest version of the drivers from the Canon website. From the Canon Utility, I was able to print the Test Pattern okay with the printer connected to my powerbook via USB - i.e. the printer is recognised. However, when setting up the...

I will shortly receive my new Panasonic mini-DV camera (NV-GS400), and was looking into editing software for my Mac Powerbook which I intend to buy over the next few months (or around Christmas....if Santa is nice to me...!). - I have been using iMovie 4 as a start and was happy with the...

Good morning. I have a Mustek 1200 USB flatbed scanner which I purchased several years ago (when I had a Windows PC - yikes!). As far as scanners go, I am happy with the quality (for my needs) and do not really want to buy another because it works fine. However, now that I have a Powerbook...

I am hoping to buy a mini-DV Camera soon, but note that most come bundled with a USB 2.0 cable. Since I will primarily be working on my Powerbook (USB 1.0 and firewire ports only), should I be looking for a specific camera (that has a firewire cable) or is it not really an issue?

I have G4 Powerbook and an Airport Express. Normally, one would wirelessly access the internet via an ADSL modem connected to the ethernet port of the Airport Express, and the corresponding connection made from the modem to my Powerbook. However, in some cases, I use the Powerbook at a...

Hello. I have just bought a d2 lacie 160GB drive. I would like to 'organise' my music, photos etc., into folders (similar to the way Panther shows the folders in the finder window). However, whilst I have manually created the folders, how can I change or assign the icons? Do I have to live...

Hello. I am relatively new to MACs and I would like to know your opinions on what 'maintenance tool' is best for cleaning up my hard-drive? I know that OSX already has some repair & optimisation tools 'built-in', but I was wondering if there are some complete solutions out there that can...
