Re: Dial-A-Mac?
I was never able to get Skype to run on my G4. Roger From: Jeffrey Engle macgu...@gmail.com To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Wed, January 13, 2010 9:14:53 PM Subject: Dial-A-Mac? Out of all the listers out there, just wondering if there is anybody that uses your mac for a telephone? I'd really like to unhook the telephone and go straight internet for everything. Can this be done? on a PPC Mac? I am aware of Skype and others like that... but I'm curious what experience others have had, good or bad.

It is rarely a good idea to download software from anywhere other than its official repository. Failing to do so is how people got infected with the trojan, burried in the pirated iWorks, back in January. Like all things iTunes, start at http://www.apple.com/itunes Click on the download button. Scroll down, past the Requirements section. Notice that iTunes 9 is for PowerPC G4 or better - so click on the G3 Mac Users link. That will take you to an official page that offers version 8.2.1. - Dan. Hi Dan, Thanks for the notes, and suggestions. I saw this a while back, but was concerned with the for G3 descriptive, which would certainly rule out my G5.

It's really annoying when you have a CD with multiple symphonies or an opera where it plays the acts or movements out of sequence. Of course there is. From the menu : Controls Shuffle Turn off Shuffle. (which is what it will say if it's on, it will say 'Turn On Shuffle' if it's off.) If shuffle isn't the culprit, it may be the way you're ordering the songs in the playlist. You want to order it by Album, which will automatically put the song on the album in track order. If it's still not in order, (and it may not be, depending on the music source) select each track from the album, press command-i and enter the correct track number for each piece. You can also merge multiple tracks into one. http://www.3am.pair.com/iTunesJoin.html is $10 shareware, and http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/jointogether.php is free for the basic version. This will let you merge the entire album into one track so even in shuffle mode it will play the entire thing in order. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
