Friends, I am starting off on my search for getting a camcorder. As I think most of my editing is going to be in iMovie, I want the best camera which is easily compatible with my Powerbook. I am now between Canon's ZR series and Sony's TRV. Would greatly appreciate recommendations from...

Hello folks, In Terminal, we can save the Terminal windows that we have opened as a document and make them all open up on next launch. In the days of OS 9, remember we had this great app called Better Telnet which used to save the windows - and additionally, we could set up a...

Hi guys, A dumb question I guess ! iSight specified 128kbps network as one of its minimum requirements. I have a DSL connection but my pal is on a 56 dial-up. So does it mean I wouldnt be able to use iSight when chatting with him ? Does the 128 requirement apply to my side only ? Thanks

As per Steve Jobs' key note, the iPod Mini was supposed to compete with Flash players which cost between $100 and $200. Now why should someone who is buying a $100 flash player spend $150 bucks more to get a Mini ? If at all he can afford it, he would as well spend $200 to buy an iPod. - 10G...

Friends, I am pretty sure this must be an oft-asked question. I want to use a webcam with my Yahoo Messenger on my G4 Powerbook to video chat with my pal who works from a PC. I have started out looking for Webcams which are compatible with Macs and work with Messenger. My first choice is...

Hi, I had been using my Powerbook yesterday evening on the Battery mode. I guess at some point the battery was discharged and the whole system blanked out. Now when I reboot the machine on my adopter, my battery indicator is an "X" and the menu says "No batteries available". What does this...

LORD !! PB would win hands down the contest for the WORST Mac OS X application by a mile. With the colony of bugs that invest this app, why has there been no upgrade since December ??? Is there any way to turn of the :mad: indexing of a Java project which eats up the entire app ?

Hi, Is there any commandline utility available for exporting a Keynote presentation to a Quicktime movie ? Thanks.

I have been using a G3 Powerbook Laptop which has suddenly decided to die out on me. It just refuses to boot up. The battery is fine and alive- I guess the book is dead. I know this is a rather bad query - but I had some pretty important documents on the had disk which have no backup. Any...

Hello all, Is there any audio recorder software available for Macs ? I have some music on my audio cassettes and I want to import them on to my Mac. I believe there are some softwares (like Total Recorder) which do this for Windows. Any such software for Macs ? Thanks.

Hello folks, I am running a rather heavy Java Server program on OS 10.2 client machine. Sometimes, we hit the file descriptor limit and get the "too many open files" Java error. As an immediate workaround, I wondered whether we could raise the max file limits, which is set a default of 256, to...

Hello folks, I left my machine asleep over the weekend - and when I come back, found that the display had gone all yellowish. Restarting my machine failed to alleviate this problem. In fact, ALL displays right from the Mac Smile at start-up to the login screen have the yellow tinge to the...
