    iPod Compatibility?

    You'll need to find some third-party software to use your Windows- formatted iPod on your Mac. And whatever you do, don't select auto-synch on both machines.

    No room on a DVD for recording?

    What's not to understand? You have a blivit (ten pounds of "used food" in a five-pound bag). Try a DVD+R DL disc. Or use another app (Toast) that can compress the file to fit on an SL.

    USB 4-port PCI Card problem

    One thing you might try is OS 9.1 instead of the 9.2.2 persuasion. If you don't need 9.2's features (mostly hooks to OSX), you don't need 9.2 at all. Please, folks. OS 9.2 is not an upgrade to 9.1, and it often doesn't play well with G3s or peripherals.

    Hooking up G4 tower to my Mac Mini?

    Connect the two Macs with an ethernet cable. Fire up the G4 with monitor & KB and set it up for anonymous file sharing. If memory serves, and it hasn't for years, that involves the Appletalk and File sharing CPs. Fire up the Mini with monitor & KB. Go to Network prefpane, select Loc...

    How to use my own mic to record audio (Instead of the built in on)

    I don't believe your Mac has a "microphone in" port. It has an "audio in" port. A microphone needs amplification. I think the best for that is Griffin Technology's "iMic": http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/ Or you could run the mike into a receiver and plug the receiver's...

    making a movie out of .mov file

    OK, it's an MPEG. Let's see where we can go from there. Use the MPG extension, not MOV. For QuickTime to see it, buy QT MPEG Components from Apple. Buying QT Pro would be a Good Thing. Once you have all that and QT sees the MOD/MPG file, look to Windows/MovieProperties. If it shows a single...

    Shortcut for Hash sign?? HELP!

    What do you mean by "Hash Sign," Frank? In common usage, that's the non-US term for what we call a Pound Sign (#): Shift-3. I suspect you mean something else.

    making a movie out of .mov file

    1. What's a MOD file? 2. You don't change a file's format by changing its extension. 3. Does QuickTime read those MOD files? Do they have separate audio and video tracks? Do you have QTPro to actually save those suckers? 4. I'd regret a MacBook, too. I go Pro all the way.

    Importing music off of MiniDisc

    The process is akin to getting any sound source into the Mac and iTunes. Capture the sound, break it into tracks, save the tracks, import the tracks into iTunes. Audacity (free) or Amadeus ($40) will do you for everything but the last step. I prefer Amadeus' interface and power, so I'll use...

    Old problem on new drive (lost System 9)

    1. No need to partition, Laurel. OS9 and OSX live together well on one volume. I think all you lose is the option-boot ability to pick between OS9 and OSX. Since the HD has a fresh Tiger install, the OS9 hard disk drivers were installed (default in Tiger, not in Panther). You should be able to...

    Safari not playing .wmv and .wma files

    It's not a glitch. MicroSoft dropped support for WMP on a Mac quite a while back. The Mac needs Flip4Mac (free from microsoft.com) which patches QuickTime for (most) WMAs and WMVs.

    iTunes automatic file organization

    What do you mean by "the file remains right where it is?" I suspect that at some time you fired up iTunes without the external plugged in and turned on beforehand. If iTunes doesn't see that drive, it defaults to creating an iTunes library in ~/music/itunes. And you need both boxes checked in...

    mac paint/ pngt files

    Graphic Converter converts a slew of image formats. It's $30 shareware from versiontracker.com -- and well worth it. But a ".pngt" file is the same as a ".mac" file. They're aliases of MacPaint. See: http://www.fileformat.info/format/macpaint/egff.htm I sincerely doubt that MacPaint, if you...
