Hi All, For specific reasons, I've got iTunes set to "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to Library". It's been a good system, when all I was doing was listening to mus…

I think iTunes has to do it to convert the video files into h.264 for it to play on your 5G iPod.

Egads, you're correct! There's a "convert for iPod" option in the Advanced menu! This is new... iSquint works excellently, by the way, and is free.

isquint has made some crappy conversion of some avi files I had. Most were movies that I downloaded as torrents.

Thanks for the extra info, very helpful. analogika, it took me a while to figure out what you meant in your first post. If I understand correctly, if I turn off automatic updating…

I'm working on an app that accesses PostreSQL data (Cocoa/ObjC). I'm not using anybody's framework, I more or less used postgres' C lib and wrote my own class to access the data. T…

Yeah, it seems to me that you want to have your class examine the type of the table column and handle conversion to NSDate or NSNumber, etc.

I've put it on the back burner for now, but I do believe that I'm going to have to do some conversions in order to get the sort working. Connecting to the db server for each sort i…

You probably have install discs for 10.3.9 right? You could install it on a separate partition or a disc image and use an emulator/virtual machine to get it booted and review the p…

Mac-onMac does not work with Tiger, either running or being run from. It even says that very clearly on the page.

And the Multi-Safari hack does not completely work on Tiger either. Before coming to Tiger, I built myself a standalone of Safari 1.3.1 to bring with me, but alas it does not work…
