Re: HP 895c Printer
What OS are you using? My HP PSC1510 stopped working when I went to OS 10.5. I checked the HP download site and downloaded what I thought was the latest driver. No go. Called HP tech support and was told to scroll farther down on the download list. Found an updated driver for OS 10.5, download and installed and all is fine.HTH On Nov 27, 12:45 pm, Jasiu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have an 895c printer hooked up to my G4 Sawtooth.

iTunes and duplicating songs
_Another odd thing about iTunes is why the default is set to Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library. Every person's Mac that I have looked at has duplicate songs because of this default. Why would you want this fault anyway? If you rip a CD, sure it would go into the iTunes folder but if you place songs on another hard drive or somewhere else, why would you want it to placed it in the iTunes folder. I've never seen an mp3 player even have this feature, much less a default. I'm sure somewhere the programer had a reason for this but I can't see a good one, unless someone else can come up with a good reason for this default. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Every person's Mac that I have looked at has duplicate songs because of this default. Why would you want this fault anyway? Because the opposite setting, having iTunes delete things when it thinks it's ok, is too horrible to imagine. I don't trust apps like iTunes (or iPhoto) to manage my collection permanently, ever. I went to great efforts (time, money) to collect my stuff. If iTunes wants to fool with it, fine - fool with a *copy*. Leave my original ALONE. I don't want some foo update from Apple to hoze me. Ever. That's why. :) Another reason for the copy ... You can set iTunes to import into other formats. That's nice. You end up with our original elsewhere and a converted pile'o'data within iTunes. If you discover the conversion didn't go well, you still have your *untouched* original and can simply trash what's in iTunes... Went thru this today with an irreplaceable mp3 audiobook. To make iTunes recognize it as an audiobook (so it will remember track locations etc), you have to first convert the mp3 files to AAC. THEN you have to *manually* change their file extensions from .m4a to .m4b. THEN you have to re-add them to your iTunes library. What a PITA! And, as I quickly discovered, some of the default settings, which would perhaps be ok for musik, caused the simple mp3 files to BLOAT into a mess that sounded awful and took 3x more storage on the HD.

Re: From Jonas - ibook Clamshell randomly freezing??
Jonas- Go to Apple menu, click on About this Mac, click on More Info, In the Hardware overview firmware is listed as Boot ROM Version, i.e., mine is 4.2.8f1 which I believe is the latest for my G4 Sawtooth and 4.1.8.f5 (the latest) for my Pismo powerbook.

In my experience the copies are 100% perfect. I have a lot of experience with iTunes. A backup of my library is sufficient to keep me happy. The original copies (I delete anything NOT in my iTunes library) are super easy to find, they're in MusiciTunesiTunes Music in alphabetical order by artist unless the album is a compilation, and then they're in the Compilations folder under album title. If there is no Artist they're in the Unknown Artist folder. As long as your catalog has the artists and album fields correctly enter there is zero percent chance of not being able to easily navigate to the originals within the iTunes Music folder. In the case of iPhoto, I have much less experience, but it is completely different. It places the originals into nested folders with #'s as titles, so one set of photos could be buried in a folder called 135 or something similar that gives no information about the contents. Further, the newer iPhoto versions compress the entire library into one big file. I agree, I'd be nervous about storing original photos within iPhoto, but I have no problems with iTunes. The cataloging method iTunes uses is straight forward, easy to learn, and has a perfect record of not screwing up music over many, many updates. One backup is plenty. Having duplicates and duplicate backups is redundant redundancy. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
