itunes copy to CD
I have need to copy a set of tunes that I originally took from an audio CD onto a new blank CD via iTunes. Everything copies OK but unplayable on an audio CD player. Is there some conversion I need to do? Bill
Need info on SheepShaver ROM compatiblity
Hi folks I'm currently in the interesting position of needing, if at all possible, to run a Mac application on some remote X11 terminals from an x86 Linux server. A full virtual machine appears to be the only option. The app in question is a PowerPC application, otherwise I'd be using Basilisk II with no problems. The app requires OS7/8/9 so I can't use PearPC either. That leaves me with SheepShaver, which I have little experience with. I was wondering if anybody here has used it, and what ROM they used. If I can confirm that a particular ROM will work I will happily buy suitable mac hardware. It is my understanding that it is perfectly legal to use a Mac ROM with an emulator if you own the mac, but I'd be happy to be corrected on this point if anybody knows better. If nobody knows a solid answer regarding correct ROM choice, I would really appreciate it if someone knows a way to obtain ROMs for _testing_ _purposes_ _only_ so that I can determine what mac I need to buy. Understandably, I can't go around buying different mac models until I find one that works, and there's little information out there on ROM compatibility. -- Craig Ringer
Re: itunes copy to CD
Does the CD play okay from iTunes itself? (just to make sure you don't have a corrupt disk or anything). Also, it's not a CD rewritable is it? Those are flunky on most audio cd players.

Redirecting in Eudora?
Is there a way to do the redirect to option (to a quick recipient) without it opening a window to edit it? I'd like to be able to (manually) redirect 50+ mail items and not have 50+ edit windows open! If I do it as a manual filter does it also open edit windows? I've been scouring the manual and reading the Eudora knowledge base to no avail... Cheers, Antony. -- == == = = Antony N.

Hold down the Option key and the 'Redirect To' option under the Message menu will become 'Turbo Redirect To'. You can also make Turbo Redirect the default from the 'Miscellaneous' panel of the Settings window.

Re: Strange Safari behaviour
Stephen, I've got it as well, but probably worse. It can take several times to connect. It also means I get ?s instead of pictures in my mail. I also have had sending mail/server problems at the same time. I haven't a clue what to do as I have to keep closing Mail, sometimes rebooting just to send an e-mail. It might not be related, but its funny that they both happened at the same time. I've read that it could be a DNS related problem, but some reports tie it into one of the recent security updates. There's a site, Macfixit, I think that has some reports. Matt on 3/11/04 7:38 PM, Stephen Chape at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi folks, Has any one seen this with Safari ?

I'm not a member of Hyperspace, so I haven't seen it yet. Suprisingly the trailer has not appeared on any of the usual *dubious* sources, other than a couple of still snapshots. I guess the trailer is being streamed on starwars.com, rather than being available for download. Anakin looks like he has gone through hell, but I couldn't tell you any more than that. As the full trailer has not been released yet, I'd guess a decent screen size quicktime movie will be much bigger than 8 meg. We might be lucky to see it appear on the WAMUG server..Hi Matt!

Re: Skype CPU usage usage on older macs
From: Oldham, Toby [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Skype CPU usage usage on older macs Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2004 10:15:03 +0800 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) Hi all, this is as much a tech note for when someone searches their archives as anything else ... it may elicit a 'well dh' response from some on the list :) . Well, not exactly duuuh, butĀ Skype won't run on a 233mhz Bondi iMac - well the app runs, and you can instant message - but voice cuts out. The iMac has 288meg of RAM and a 40gig Western Digital Hard Disk, running 10.3.5 (which runs okay, amazingly enough). I used the Activitiy monitor app to ah, monitor the cpu usage - when attempting to speak, the CPU idle time drops to -0.00. I was trying to get Skype working so my parents machine so they could have long talks with my brother over in the UK. If anyone knows the minimum mhz speed which allows Skype to run pls send me an e-mail, The skype forums are a better search bet I would think. Google is your friend, since the fora don't appear to have a search applet set up. And the mac skype specs page gives: http://www.skype.com/help/guides/skype_macosx_guide.html hth Nancy M

If anyone knows the minimum mhz speed which allows Skype to run pls send me an e-mail, You may have more luck with other VoIP technologies, rather than Skype, as if I recall correctly Skype encrypts all its data. That makes for a significant CPU overhead, and given that the voice data also needs to be encoded into a lossy format like one of the GSM codecs, the CPU requirements may be excessive. Try a basic SIP VoIP phone program if you can ... I suspect you'll have a lot more success that way. Anybody have suggestions on good SIP phone apps for OS/X? -- Craig Ringer

Robbery at our office!
Hi there guys and gals, Just to let you all know that while I was gone overseas someone broke into our offices and stole my brand new Maxtor One Touch 200GB backup drive. They didn't touch anything else just the drive in its black case. So if anyone happens to see someone selling one for super cheap, you'll know where it came from. Luckily I hadn't used it much for serious backup yet...it was that new! MacWizard helped me to get it. Any suggestions for a replacement? Cheers but no backup drive, Cal Conkey
Re: Robbery at our office!
Hi Cal, Sorry to hear the news. I hope you were covered by insurance? If your looking for a replacement, we sell the IceCube range, LaCie as well as Maxtor.

Re: apple on Dateline ( SBS)
you maybe bemused about a laptop on tv screen... im using it in a radiostudio for reading the prepared scripts, i'm sure i saved 100 trees by now in not printing the scripts, what i'm missing is: i cannot connect the powerbook to the mixer desk play the music directly from there, i still have to burn rw disk feed them into the cd player... additionally you could have adls/internet respond to the emails the listener / tv watchers sending you, or retrieve info you need during the tv show, or the producer communicates to you(the presenter) via internal lan network, a large clock for precise programming ad placements should be on screen too powerbook 17 = most versatile audio / video recording editing studio cheers James On 04/11/2004, at 20:12, Paul Kitchener wrote: gary dorn wrote: Whilst my wife was watching dateline ( SBS) this afternoon, I noticed that the presenter has a Apple powerbook ( titanium) on his desktop, proudly showing off the white? apple logo.
