Make sure that that OSX is updated. USB 1.1 is a pain in the butt. It shouldn't be a huge seal though. USB 2.0 is preferable, but I wouldn't call it a must unless you would be usin…

Hi Rickman, I recently downgraded from a 12 inch AluBook to a 15 inch Tibook and have only usb 1 now for my shuffle. It works ok but of course it takes a while to transfer the d…

Update iTunes. You can have iTunes 6 on Jaguar.

I'm currently using RadTech Sleevz to protect my new iPod nano, but they are a little flimsy and don't offer much in the way of protection. What I'm really after is a case that com…

I need to know if Macs support ASM. This is some type of code a programer used to write one of his programs. Hes willing to try for a mac if it isn't to much trouble and wants to k…

Er…ASM is shorthand for assembly language. It's totally processor-dependent. So while you can write a Mac program in assembly, whether or not that will run on a given box depends o…

not all of it is in asm. he has c and c++ in it as well. but i know those are mac compatible so i was just worried about asm. So what you are saying is it will depend on what proce…

If he's converting from one processor's assembly to another, he'll most likely have some issues converting the assembly code. C/C++ is relatively processor independent.

Unfortunately, the only real response to "Do Macs support ASM" is "which one?" Every processor has its own form of assembly language, and it is usually very hard to port ASM code w…

To make a long story short, I am interested in finding something that I can use either in OS X or even 3rd party software that will allow me to surf any website (including https) w…

Here is the only resource I know of: http://anonymizer.com/default.html I did a net search for: macintosh anonymous web surfing and got a lot of hits including this one: http…

Hello! Thank you! The high speed is wireless from a tower to receiver and comes in on coax. We have a LinkSys Wireless-B Ethernet Bridge WET11v2 . We have two older iMacs (slo…

If I get this right, all you have coming into the house is a coax, is that right? You should have some other box, either supplied by or specified by the ISP that provides the towe…

OK...so I do need to hook the COAX up to the bridge. What do I need to buy? Two more bridges (instead of airport cards) and one router? I did set the bridge to X (PC). The br…

Sorry I missed your question. Right away I noticed that the bridge did not come with an antenna. So yes, I did hook the COAX up to the antenna port without realizing it! -W

After reading this: http://www.wifinetnews.com/archives/006160.html I'm wondering if the Airport Extreme Base Station is the way to go until Cisco is able to come up to par? I'm…

Is the Buffalo AirStation Turbo G High Power Wireless Ethernet Converter WLI-TX4-G54HP a good choice? It seems to be economical for older iMacs. Any recommendations?

You have to note the particular kind of connector on your coax; different manufacturers use different kinds for their antenna jacks, so you either need one that matches or an adapt…

As of this morning, our account was set up and I have the high speed internet working via the LinkSys Wireless-B Ethernet Bridge connected directly to the iMac via the short includ…

Re-encoding a lossy format into another lossy format will just result in data being thrown out. Your songs will sound worse, guaranteed.

Regarding your battery life question...I'm not sure which codec requires more horsepower to decode, but the difference is likely so small that you wouldn't notice any difference in…
