    Plug in iPod loses place in mp3 files

    While I know that having bookmarkable m4b files means your place will be restored the next time you play that track, I have a somewhat related question with regards to m4a and mp3 files: Playing a non-bookmarkable track (mp3/m4a) and stopping/powering down will allow you to resume playback if...

    iTunes off network storage

    I have pointed my iTunes library at a mounted smb share (it's on a win2k box elsewhere in the house). This works great, until I launch iTunes when that share is not mounted. This causes iTunes to forcibly change my preferred iTunes Libary location to its default somewhere in my user account's...

    Mail won't stay quit!

    Weird. Everytime I quit Mail.app 2.0.2 it relaunches itself within 2-3 seconds. This is on MacOSX 10.4.2. I've rebooted & it doesn't seem to matter.

    10.3.8 & Security update hosed webcore??

    We just updated our iBook to the most recent OSX (10.3.8) and did the other Security update dealio. Ever since, webcore (i think) seems completely jacked & crashes any app trying to use it. 1.) We've seen a crash as soon as Safari tries to open any page, be it something on the internet or...

    iPhoto - Can photos be deleted off HDD from an album?

    I love iPhoto for organizing my photos & doing some basic retouching (when Photoshop doesn't need to come in for heavy digital darkroom). However, I often find that I sort things into Albums & then realize that some of the photos could really be deleted (e.g. when I bracket, when some turn out...

    "MS-DOS File System" - FAQ, please?

    Everyone I've been talking to is confused over the nuances of "MS-DOS file system" as Apple Disk Utility seems to call it. When you delete all partitions in Disk Utility and then select the disk , you are given the option to Erase the disk with "MS-DOS File System". As we all know, there...

    Cell Phone for iSync/reception/value bliss?

    I'm thinking of getting my first non-suck cell phone.. I want to get one capable of connecting with the mac & syncing with my iCal & Addressbook (plus anything else?). I want to be sure it's got good reception & also seamless mac sync integration. Ideally nothing over $200 and nothing too...

    Non-iSight suggestions for iChatAV?

    Hey - i'm interested in getting a digital web cam for my mom so she can see our upcoming baby via iChat AV. She's on a G4 Cube & I've got a dual 2Ghz G5. As I'm planning to buy a firewire DV Cam (CanonZR80) I won't be buying an iSight for myself (I assume that should work, right?). As...

    Non-iPod Compatibility with MacOSX & iTunes?

    Hey - I know everyone here loves iPods & whatnot but I've got a chance to get a free piece of hardware from a client I've done some work for & he doesn't have access to iPods through his wholesalers... I'm interested in having a portable storage/MP3 solution but unclear as to how supported (if...

    Help me understand Apple File Sharing

    So I'm a pretty experienced computer user -- have used Macs since '94 or so and have experience with pretty much every MacOS since 7.6. Around 2000 I switched to Windows (for 3D animation/Maya reasons -- sadly the mac wasn't up to that sorta work until the G5 came out) and just recently came...

    address book Backup Database

    Anyone else notice that if you do an Address Book "File>Backup Database", the default file name includes the date (in the MM/DD/YY format)? And that if you try to copy this to another computer it won't let you cuz it's choking on the forward slashes? seems like they should make the default...

    Coupla Mail.app questions

    I just got my new dual G5 & am totally psyched to use it & leave the dregs of Microsoft behind me whenever possible. Thus I am leaving Outlook 2000 for Windows in favor of Mail.App for OSX 10.3 however, got some general questions about using it that don't seem readily clear: 1.) How do I...

    Contextual Menus broken after Panther upgrade

    After using an iBook for a long time under Jaguar, we've finally upgraded to Panther. Everything went smoothly (albeit slowly) and the upgrade successfully completed. The only customizations I did in upgrade were to not include printer drivers and add X11. Now that it's done & fully system...

    iBook not sleeping in 10.1.5

    our (white) iBook 600 is no longer sleeping, even after a software restore from the 4 cds. The screen saver works but the iBook only goes to sleep if you manually tell it to. There had been a few times where the iBook's screen saver had locked up, too (the image fadey stuff just sorta stopped...

    entourage x conduit rant

    just got a new Palm m500 to replace our old Handspring Visor Deluxe (as HVD doesn't successfully synch with EntourageX, and its connectivity with Palm Desktop 4 sux as well...); We had been using the beta Palm Desktop 4.0 for a while (with tolerable, but buggy results on the old...
