    Restoring/updating music backups

    Alright, here's my situation; About four months ago, I backed up my 20 GB-ish music library from my iBook to an external Firewire HD that my parents use. Since then, I haven't done anything with the Firewire HD, so its contents are practically a snapshot of my music library as it was back...

    Switching partitions?

    I have my HD drive divided up into five partitions: -System (5GB), -Applications (5GB), -Users (5GB), -Media (20GB), and -Developer (2.5GB). I followed the hint which allows /Users to point to /Volumes/Users, and /Applications to point to /Volumes/Applications. I want to turn one...

    Infrared receivers for mac os 9?

    Lately, I've been brainstorming a project for an MP3 jukebox to go under my TV. What I have envisioned is an old Powermac 7500 or such from eBay, fitted with a bigger hard drive, and OS 9 with iTunes. No biggie, right? What I want to do with this, which makes it kind of difficult, is attach...

    New Apple stores! In Seattle!

    I was reading the Seattle Times business section today, and there was a story about how Apple is putting *two* Apple stores in the greater Seattle Area. One is going in the University District (just north of Husky Stadium), and the other is going in Bellevue Square. Score! :D

    MOO3 goes gold!

    So, who's preordered it, and how much longer do you think until the Mac version hits stores? Remember, though, the Mac and PC versions were co-developed.

    Weird character rendering in Chimera?

    Ever since I've started using Chimera (which IMO is a stellar web browser, BTW), one small little glitch has always been catching my attention. Sometimes, Chimera will render text as Kanji, like in the attached picture. What is going on here? Is this a known bug that will be fixed in...

    How big is your MP3 collection?

    I'm wondering how big everyone's MP3 collection is, how they got it, and how much of it is legal. Just kidding about that last part :p. Anyway, mine is 5271 tracks, 14.7 days, and 19.27 GB. I got most of it by checking CD's from the public library. Amazingly, the selection is pretty decent...

    MacExpo UK

    MacExpo 2002 in London is a month away. I'm not familiar with MacExpos. I mean, I hear about Apple announcing things at *MacWorld* expos, but I can't recall anything big being announced at a MacExpo. Of course, I don't really follow conventions much anyway, so maybe there has been something...

    iPod and recurring iCal events

    I have an iCal which has recurring events, and sometimes I add text to one instance of the recurring event. When I import the revised iCalender to my iPod and select the date of the altered event, it lists two events with the same time: the original instance of the recurring event, and the...

    Jaguar Calculator has trouble with addition?

    I was using Jaguar's calculator to figure out how much of a grocery bill I owed, and I got some freaky results from the 'paper tape' drawer; see below: Has anyone else experienced this?

    Real player for Mac OS X out!

    I probably haven't been paying attention, but over at the Real website, they have a beta of the RealOne player for Mac OS X posted. Has this been out for a while, or am I actually one of the first people to know something?:rolleyes:

    Networking a 4400/200 to using Linux

    I'm setting up a 4400/200 PowerMac to be an MP3 server. For some odd reason, it won't boot from the hard drive, even though files are accessible from it when I boot from a CD. What I thought I'd do is burn a Linux distro onto a CD and use that to boot the computer and serve MP3s from it...

    iPod Firmware 1.2?

    I've heard that the installer for the iPod 1.2 firmwire update is on CDs coming with the new iPods. If anyone would be kind enough to post it on their website (preferably one which wouldn't die easily :D), that would be groovy. Does anyone know when it will be put on Apple's website?

    Terminal Terminology Help, Please

    The many MP3s on my HD are organized in folders using the following scheme by iTunes: iTunes\ Music/artist/album/track What I want to do is, using the 'printf' command, create a file 'albumlist' which, obviously enough, is a list of all the albums on my HD. What I planned on doing was...

    WANTED: Suggestions for Firewire HD

    I guess this isn't a typical want ad... I'm looking for a external Firewire HD holding at least 50GB, which is relatively inexpensive and somewhat reliable. I was wondering which brand would be recommended by people who have had experience with external drives. Which brand gives the least...

    Address Book and vcf's

    I just got my iPod in the mail yesterday, and I am trying to work with the 'Contacts' feature; it sorts contacts by first name rather than last name; I would like it the other way around. Using the Terminal, I found that the field which determines the name of the contact in the 'Contacts' menu...

    Help with NetJuke?

    I'm trying to install netjuke, a streaming MP3 server program, on my computer. Installing requires use of a couple PHP forms, and the actual installation is prompted by submitting a form through PHP. My problem is this: When I submit the information needed to start the installation, Apache...

    Suggestions for MP3 laptop?

    I've been looking at all of the MP3 players out there (iPod, JukeBox, Riot), but I've also been thinking of alternatives. The one that's been sticking in my mind recently is getting a used Apple laptop, slapping in a 40 GB hard drive, somehow putting in a Firewire port, and playing my MP3's from...
