Alright so my uncle gave me his old desktop mac. Its nice but when I run a game like wow, spore, sims, or any game- it runs really smoothly at first, but eventually freezes, goes black, or the graphics mess up so bad you can't see what's going on. The INTERNET and most other programs don't seem to have any issues and for the most part I love the mac- just really wish the gaming quality was nicer. Wondering what I can do (preferably cheaply) to fix this problem? Is it a MOTHERBOARD issue/processor/heating/ram? I have no clue. Any help would be great You gave no info on which desktop Mac ( some are easy to open, others are not).  See my signature as a sample for minimum useful info to give.  If you need help identifying the machine, DOWNLOAD the free MacTracker for your OS:

http://www.mactracker.ca/



But---

 going with your runs OK for a while (eliminates minimum hardware specs), then messes up, I would guess a heating problem.  Clear the vents, blow out the dust bunnies, check the fans and heat sinks ---

   ADDITIONAL RAM always helps, as does a reasonably healthy hard DRIVE. Depending on your OS, you may need as much as 20% available space for temporary files.

The info you sent by Private message indicates:

2006-2007 era Mac Mini or iMac, probably.  RAM limits and video cards vary

  The mini looks like a white box that you plug your own keyboard and monitor into (like the ones from your old windows machine)

   The iMac looks like a flat panel monitor on an L shaped metal stand. If you can tell me which ---- along with Model name and model identifier (available by selecting "More Info..." in that About this Mac panel --- it's in the hardware section at the top.  Also quick check "Diagnostics")

   Once we have that, then we can move on to pointing you to the right nut-and-bolt info.

The game that I like the most is galcon because it is CHALLENGING on the HARDEST setting not many games are that challenging for the ipod touch.

i just downloaded a version of "Wine" which is a free application that will let you run Windows applications. i downloaded it and its a .zip file, im not sure how to change this to something that will enable it to work.... any help please?

Hardware Overview:

  Model NAME:   iMac
  Model Identifier:   iMac5,1
  Processor Name:   Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:   2 GHz
  Number Of Processors:   1
  Total Number Of Cores:   2
  L2 CACHE (per processor):   4 MB
  Memory:   1 GB
  Bus Speed:   667 MHz
  Boot ROM Version:   IM51.0090.B09
  SMC Version:   1.8f2

Try here: http://en.softonic.com/s/winzip-mac:macNot necessary.  You're running a mac with OS X installed.

All you need to do is double CLICK on the zip file to expand it. 

It should then create a folder with the contents of the zip file in it.

Open the folder and take what you need.you can do that but the software MAY have additional features you may want.      You might want to reconsider --- if you can't handle a zip file with your Mac, then you definitely do not have the where-with-all to deal with Wine.

Take a peek at
http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX

  I'd SUGGEST spending the $ for Bootcamp, Parallels, etc.

   Did anyone realise that this topic is over 2 weeks old and the OP hasn't replied?

Thanks Baker ILL do that. sounds like a good idea. Do they charge for the tech SUPPORT, I've NEVER called Apple before.

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can HELP me.  I just bought a HP Photosmart C4680 printer, and tried to install it.  The first stage of the installation WENT fine, and then I got to the set up assistant SECTION.  I get the select drivers window and it doesn't have any printer listed, so I select the my device is not listed button and continue.  The NEXT page my printer is listed so I selected it and continue.  The next page asked me to select a device again but once again no printer is listed so I select the my device isn't listed button again, and this time a pop up window says that I need to download the drivers from the HP website. 

I've done this, and went through the installation process again, but once again I get to the same part of the set up assistant section and it does the same thing.  Further checking on the HP website says that since I am operating on the LATEST Mac OX system that the drivers should already be on my Macbook.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could try?

Thanks

How can I download my own CD's to my iPhone. Have MADE several Play Lists using iTunes, but cannot find a way to download to the iPhone. Have tried the auto Syncing system and transfering the Lists to 'Purchased', but still nothing. Is there a 'bar' built in to stop non-iStore Music from loading.

Using a MACBOOK with 10.5 OS and having battery PROBLEMS.  For the past 3-4 months I have noted that I can get no longer then 1-2 hours using only battery power, although it indicates I actually start with 100%.  At the same TIME, I noted that the fan has been running continuesly when ever the computer is ON regardless of being charged or not plugged in while operating.

I felt I needed a new battery and have gotten one and it's INSTALLED.  I continue to have the same problem even with a brand new battery.

Is there some procedure I have omitted in INSTALLING the new battery, or is there a problem with the computer and I didn't really need a new battery??  I charged the new battery to 100% and then used it without the cord to bring it down to 1-2%.  It has been recharged back to 100% twice, but I still am unable to get more then 1-2 hours out of the full charge.

Suggestions would be most welcome.  Thanks   Bob,

There are a few things to check.  First- are you using a lot of applications while using the laptop?  If you're watching movies, editing movies, or playing games it can significantly lower the amount of time the laptop will last off of a battery.

Also, if you go into system preferences under "energy saver" you can change some preferences to help the battery life last longer.  If the fan is continously running loudly (even when not doing anything), you may want to bring in your macbook to the apple store and have them take a look at it (which is free). 

One last thing you can do to help the battery is to properly calibrate it.  Charging it to 100% then running it down to 1 or 2% is good, but it's not quite a full calibration.  Follow the ARTICLE here on apple's site to calibrate it properly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490Problem Solved via a visit to the GENIUS bar the APPLE store.

Checked out the Activity Monitor and learned that an old PRINT program consisting of multiple pages from some months ago, got 'hung-up' and couldn't print hence ran continuously drawing down the battery  ! ! !

Dumped the hung-up pgm and all is back to normal. 

IT'S EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW ! ! ! !

Thanks for your comments.Good!  The genius bar is always a great help.

my brothers computer had to be wiped out and he started all over. unfortunately he was not ABLE to back up anything. Now hes  trying to put the music from his Iphone back onto his computer but having no luck. can someone help with step by step or GIVE me an idea where i might find this out
thank you
maryIf the music was purchased from the iTunes store, just hook it up to your computer and it will ask you if you want to transfer your purchases back to the computer.

If they weren't bought from iTunes, you'll have to find 3rd party software (google "senuti" if you're using a mac) to help you get it back.Hi

the option to DOWNLOAD again From Iphone to  Itunes can only be done with music bought on Itunes ( was already told on Last Post).
You can TRY download it to a PC/Apple and them import to Itunes , that should Work too.

Hope that helps. Quote from: azulyx on October 30, 2009, 07:09:10 AM

I just got my first Mac and I know EVERYONE says you don't have to worry about viruses on a Mac, but I'm used to PCs and I don't feel safe running a computer with no virus software. Also, I'm constantly sharing files with PEOPLE and emailing them back and fourth so I'd like to make sure that if SOMEONE sends me an infected file I don't pass it on to another friend.

My question is, what antivirus software does everyone recommend? I know on a PC Norton and McAfee and memory hogs, so I'm sure they probably are on a Mac also. There are plenty of free antivirus programs for a PC too, so I was wondering if there were any good free ones for a Mac.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

No, when i move it nothing happens. On screen it still shows the little lock to say that hold is on

I have a network setup in my house with 3 PCs and I just got a MacBook Pro and I’m wondering, how do I file share between the PCs and the Mac?
I was reading some articles online, but nothing seemed to really work. I want to be able to share a folder on the network, just like you do on a PC. I can get my PCs to see my Mac on the network, but not the files I want to share. I have tried so many different things that I don’t even know where to start.
On a PC it’s as simple as right clicking on the folder you want to share and clicking on “share this folder”.
This is my first Mac, so bare with me.
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks in advance.
Sharing your Mac's files are really simple.

Go into your System Preferences - Click the Sharing folder (under Internet & Networking):

Make sure file sharing is ticked in the left hand COLUMN, and click on that section to select it
Under 'Shared Folders' click on your account and then CHOOSE 'Options' in the bottom right
Tick the option for sharing using SMB, and make sure your account is ticked in the lower box.
Click 'Done'

On a Mac you can right click any folder/file you want to share, choose 'Get Info' and under the 'General' section tick the 'Shared Folder' box - voila you have now shared your folders with a Windows PC.

Bare in mind FIREWALLS may play a PART in access issues.
On the Mac under system prefs>sharing>tick windows sharing. Then have a sharing folder on your desktop>name it so that Windows can find it.
You will find that it is easier to do on the Mac than it is on Windows.

i have a disc that is the install disc for ibook g4 it is a mac os x 10.4 tiger disc but if i want can i install this on more MACS than just the ibook g4 even though it is a install disc for an ibook like could i use it on a imac or emac g4?You tend to FIND that APPLE have tied in the discs only to the machine they came supplied with.

So you wouldn't be ABLE to use that disc on any other machine (this would most likely be in fringement of their LICENSING laws anyway).agreed

Hi all

I'm TRYING to connect a Vista PC to a mac and I'm having problems.

The first problem is I really don't know anything about Macs so please bear with me.

I've been following directions I found online which say to enable 'Windows Sharing' in the mac system settings but when I got to the screen there is no option for 'Windows Sharing'

Is there something else I should have done first?

The mac is OS X Version 10.5.4 and the pc is a Vista.

Both computers are connected to a router for internet access and this works fine. I just need to transfer very big files between the 2 and I thought this would be the easist way. Aparently not.

Any help would be much apprecated.

I've lived with my new Macbook Pro for exactly a week now. Still learning all the shortcuts, but I unbelievable love this thing.
I haven't yelled at my computer in a week. Amazing!


Some basic shortcuts:

Command + Space = Spotlight Finder
Command + Down = Open directory/file
Command + Up = Go back a directory
Enter/Return = RENAME file/folder
Control + Click = Right Click

I'm getting ERRORS when trying to send mail through Mail. I sent mail yesterday and it worked but today its telling me that it cannot find the server. How can I fix this?Have you got any details on your provider?

Are you using a mac.com address or internet providers address? What has been done on or to the machine in the last 24 HOURS of you having the problem?

Double check your Mail account settings and ensure your log in name and password are correct (mine were reset once after a software update).I would like to know how you are sending the emails and what the error messages are.What exactly are the error messages? What kind of account do you have? ie: mac.com, gmail? Do you have an internet connection?

First I would check internet CONNECTIVITY, then I would check to see if I am still LOGGED in. Maybe your credentials got reset. It happens.

I am having this problem with my isight camera on my mac any program that is already installed on my mac COMPUTER will allow my isight camera to work. When I GO ONLINE and use the camera it seems that it does not work. I went to the adobe flash player WEBSITE and allowed the website to use my camera here is the website. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html and it still did not allow me to use the camera. I suspect that a program already on my mac is using the camera. I checked the program list and did not seem to find one that might be using the camera so i can END it. Can anyone help.

I want to buy this adapter that makes any cheap WEBCAM work with the internet like an IP camera. They say you can plug two webcams into it and then view them from the internet with out using a COMPUTER. The adapter plugs right into your internet with out the use of a computer. So the big question is, has ANYONE USED this type of thing before and does anyone now how to use it? Can it work with any webcam or can it only work with some? I want to buy it from these guys at www.LDUcompany.com and I would also like to know if anyone has bought from them before? This is in thier computer accessories section but the direct link to the adapterishttp://www.liangdianup.com/inventory/169928.htm
I think this is alot cheaper then buying two IP WEB cameras but I want to learn more about how it works. Any help would be appreciated

MY MAC OSX VERSION 10.3.9 DOESN'T LET ME READ ANY HARD DRIVES, HAVE TRIED TO PLUG IN 4 DIFFERENT ONES AND NONE APPEAR ON MY FINDER OR ANYWHERE.

I HAVE NO IDEA SO IF ANYONE HAS A SUGGESTION PLEASE HELP.

DO THEY WORK ON ANOTHER COMPUTER?

Please don't use caps.yea they all work in other computers, checked in both Mac and PC.Sorry, it seems this post has slipped.

Unfortunately, this post wouldn't count much as I know null about Mac or Apple of that matter.

Hopefully someone will be along with some suggestions, unless you have solved the problem already.If you open up disk utility (go to your hd--> applications --> utilities --> disk utility) you can see what drives are even being recognized.

My first suggestion is that you're attempting to use external hard drives that are powered via usb 2 and your computer only has usb 1.1

Are you plugging your external drives into a power source or are you relying on the computer for the power source?

I have a faulty zip disc which I would like to try to recover data from. However I can't get it to mount on the desktop. Any IDEAS on how I can access it? Sometimes it does appear and suggests I initialise it. If I do this and all data is wiped what are my chances of retrieving data using something like Boomerang?
Would really like to mount the disc though so I can see what I can retrieve.
I use an applemac OSX and the zip drive is separate and run with a USB cable.
Thank you
SueOpen up disk utility (found at hd --> APPLICATIONS --> utilities --> disk utility).

Once open, on the left hand side you should see what drives/disks are recognized. if you click on the zip drive (if you see it), you can then click on "mount." This will attempt to mount the drive.

If you are STILL having issues I'd recommend Drive Genius or something of that SORT to recover the data.

I just installed Vista on my Macbook PRO, but none of the DRIVERS to make the keyboard, mouse, wireless network, etc. are working. So, I can't get online to do a Windows Update to get those drivers. I don't have the Leopard disk on me, so right now I'm on my PC hoping I can download the drivers and write them to a CD and do it that way. Is that a possibility or is there a better way?I really need to know if I need the MAC drivers or the Vista drivers. EVERYTHING works fine on the MAC side, nothing works well on the Vista side. So, I just need to know if I need the MAC drivers or the Vista drivers to get the above things working correctly, especially the wireless network connection. Thanks again.have you looked at this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16873608/

FBNot sure how that applies to anything...SORRY i skimmed over it and it seemed to talk about someone Mac users switching to vista? If not google will help.

FBOh think it's just an article about a MAC user that switched to Vista.Check this out:
http://derekh.com/index.php/2007/03/29/vista-drivers-for-your-mac-macbook-bootcamp-12/


Also, can you directly connect your laptop to your router via Ethernet to download the drivers? Or is your MacBook so far set by Apples poor standards that it doesnt have Ethernet? (All laptops should have Ethernet... even if the plugin is too big for aesthetics) The drivers are on your mac. First, boot into the mac side and do a software update. Mac sure all software is up to date.

Once this is done, open up boot camp assistant (applications--> utilities--> boot camp assistant).

When you go through the assistant it should ask you if you want to burn a drivers cd for vista. If you chose "no," then you'd be in your CURRENT situation.

Whenever i plugin my ipod it appears as a camera and won't show up in "my computer" under hard drives or devices with removable storage.

Apple / Setting up Macintosh Time Machine on: April 29, 2010, 03:17:52 PM
Being a newbie to Mac, and TRYING to SET up Time Machine to back up files, etc, I am floundering. When I click on the time machine icon, I get a window that says "a storage location for Time Machine backups isn't set up. So I click on the option to choose a storage location. Then I get a window that shows an "off/on" switch and "choose backup disk." The switch is in the off position. There are 2 choices, switch it to the "on" position or click on "choose backup disk." With both selections I am taken to another window that is blank except for a section to click on at the bottom that says "set up time capsule." When I click on that another window pops up that says "searching for airport wireless devices." Then it is unable to FIND wireless devices because I have none. A vicious circle.Do you have an external drive to use as your Time Machine backup?Yes. I have also FOUND that if I click on TM in the top of the screen it shows Time Machine Not Configured, (but is not highlighted which tells me it is configured), Browse other TM disks and when I do this I go to another window that says "these disks contain TM backups. Choose the disk you want to use with TM. There is a blank screen, no choices, Open TM system preferences. Opening system preferences takes me back to the original problem.
Also when I click and hold on TM in the dashboard choices are TM preferences, Back up now, (a few days ago I clicked on Back up now and I GOT another message that said I have not backed up my files for 147 days, lately it says TM error, no backup volume has been selected, to select a backup volume open System Preferences and choose TM, the Mac was purchased in Oct of 09), Browse other TM disks, Remove from Dock, Show TM.

I have had a question now more than once from Mac users who WANT to download a vid FILE and not have it play automatically. Now, on PC folks can just right click on a link and ''save TARGET as'' - is there some similar option on a Mac?

Or - any way to disable the playing temporarily perhaps?

Would appreciate any suggestions so I can PASS the info on.I rarely bump THREADS but - am very keen to get an answer on this.

I replaced the IDE cable and defragged the hard-drive.

The drive is still relatively slow and in PIO mode.

One thing I noticed is that the CR/ROM drive has it's jumper (after I spent some time reading what a jumper was) set to CS (for Cable Select?) and the "E" drive is set to "Slave". Should one of these be set to "Master"? If so, which one? Or is this really not an issue or the cause of my issues?

Once again, the advice is enormously appreciated. As annoying as this has been for me, I've learned quite a bit about my computer, and I THANK you guys for helping out.

Hello, in my applescript I am trying to print a variable to a file. RIGHT now I am using do shell script "echo..." . In the variable I have a XML file but when i do the echo and copy it to a file it drops all of the double quotes in the XML. Does anyone know how this COULD be SOLVED?

The line I am using is:

do shell script "echo -n \"" & file_data & "\">/Applications/MUOwner.nsi" with administrator privileges

In 10.5 I use a "tell "TextEdit"" to copy the information to a file, but in 10.4 I am unable to make it save where I want.

You can copy the songs over from here.check out for your mydocuments folder for itunes which will contain all song list ok u can opy from there actually, you could just right click on the song in iTunes and click copy and paste into the flash drive.

Hey, I have a friend who has an external hard drive that is HFS formatted that he needs to RECOVER files from. Is there some piece of software that allows the recovery of files from an HFS file system from WITHIN Linux or WINDOWS?

It's a long story, but there isn't a Mac available right now to get the files and it's URGENT.

I have much experience with mac's os on pc hardware as well as windows on mac's.

First: According to Apple's license agreement (for their os), you can only install the software on an "apple branded" computer. Most people get around this by throwing an apple sticker on the machine and call it good. Whether this would hold up legally or not I'm not sure.

Second: Because mac's os was written to work with CERTAIN hardware drivers, having mac's os work with your pc hardware is very iffy (completely depends on the computer and your abilities). Some people have managed to get working drivers for everything on their pc, while others are still searching for ways to get their wireless card working, etc.

Third: Boot Camp is a good option for INSTALLING windows on an INTEL Mac. This is NOT an emulator, but more of a bootloader with drivers for windows (xp or vista). Once you have it installed it runs natively, utilizing all hardware on your mac. The downside to this is having to reboot every time you want to switch OPERATING systems. This is where parallels is a great option.i dont think a mac sticker COUNTS... see i was right for once!!! it is illeagle!no it's illegal. I don't think sick birds have anything to do with macs. LOLwhat?Quote from: computeruler on October 22, 2008, 02:56:48 PM

I bought a 120 gb iPod about 3 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems. Every times I TRY to sync it, it says -

Delayed Write Failed
WINDOWS was unable to save all the data for the file x. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or NETWORK connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

I have had a 30 gb iPod for years and this NEVER happened.

I have restored it 20 times
I have tried it in other USB ports
I have tried other iPod USB cords
I have defraged the HD
I have tried to restore the computer
I have tried uninstalled the DRIVER
I have reinstalled the driver
I have opened iTunes first, the the iPod
I have checked the antivirus and the firewall

I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it and it worked for a week or so, but now it won't sync again.

Some say it could be the HD, but I have been able to burn DVDs, use flash drives, and SD slots, and they did not show a write error.

I have tried to sync it with another computer and it works. I have used it in my car, home stereo, and personal use, and it works. So, I don't think it is the iPod. ??

I have Windows XP - Service Pack 3, and I connect to the USB slot on the computer.

PLEASE HELP! Honestly, you've done about as much troubleshooting as is needed for this situation.

What I would do:

Go to your local apple store. Since it's a new iPod it's under warranty and they will fix any issues for free (assuming the ipod wasn't dropped and dented or something like that).

If you go to apple.com/retail and then look up your local store you can actually sign up for the appointment before you go (it's called the "Genius Bar").

If your computer is a laptop I highly recommend bringing that in as well. Tell them exactly what you said here (what you've tried, what the symptoms are) and they'll be able to find the issue for you.

Could anyone help me, I have LATEST itunes but my ipod does not COME up in it!
Please! whats the problemHas the OS in the iPod been PLAYED with at all (IE. Linux installed on it?)

If not, go to device manager (right click my computer, choose manage, and then go to device manager on the left hand side) and make SURE there aren't any question MARKS in there.

If i hook an ext. Hard drive up to download music and I get a bad file, will the virus effect my COMPUTER or just the ext. hard drive? Cause I bought an expensive macbook pro and dont want to RUIN it like I did my old pc by downloading, but I still need my tunes. Thanks for the helpNot sure, but I think Itunes is safe.

However, downloading viruses, to your computer or another hard drive is always dangerous.

Where exactly are you downloading from?i would likely be downloading torrents. usually from mininova. not itunesNot all torrents contain viruses, but most of them do.
If you don't run them, it is unlikely they will INFECT your computer.It's very unlikely you'll have any virus issues though on your MBP as most of the viruses included with torrents are written for Windows, not for Mac's OS.

It never hurts though to have an antivirus solution just in case.Unless they are downloading mac software VIA torrent. Torrents of Mac software would likely also (if infected) have mac-specific malware.

If they are downloading windows-oriented software, they will likely not infect their macbook pro- but whatever Windows machine they end up using the torrent contents on could be at risk.That's true, although much more unlikely than windows torrents. I've been using torrents on a no-antivirus mac now for 3 years without any issues.

I will agree though that it's much more likely that you'd have a mac virus attached to a mac torrent VERSUS a windows torrent having a mac virus.

Hey

I've got an 80gb sixth generation ipod, and I thought I'd try connecting it to the TV. Yes I realise that it requires the special TV accessory.

However, I happened to have a USB to composite cable, and a USB female to female adapter (pics below). So what i tried was to connect it together with the ipod charger and see if - just on a long shot - it would allow me to send it to the tv. Now it didn't work, but i just wanted to see if it has to do with the wrong cable, or just a "broken" cable.

Has anyone happened to have tried ANYTHING like this, or know if there's a specific REASON why it wouldn't work?

I figure the problem has to do with the fact that the usb charger is meant as a charger, but i had just figured it's just a cable, it should still be able to transmit the DATA. What do you guys THINK?

Thanks

[Saving space - attachment deleted by admin]The issue isn't that the cable isn't capable of doing what you're trying to do. The issue is that the iPod isn't meant to send that signal through the cord you have.

Unfortunately, your only option is to buy a video cord meant to go from your iPod to your TV.

There are plenty of them out there though, and you can always look on EBAY for used ones.

I accidentally changed my PRINT command from the file menu to the printer utility and I need to know how to get it back on the file menu. I am a beginner and have used a PC all my life. I know almost nothing about my new Mac. Help Please1You're going to have to be more specific. I have no clue what you're trying to explain here. What did you CHANGE?

If you could include screenshots it WOULD help immensely.

Furthermore, we don't even know what OPERATING system you are on.

Hi, this is my first time doing any (web) DEVELOPING using Safari on a Mac. Love the Mac and Safari. But I created a simple html file in Text Edit, saved it as html, opened it in Safari and it shows me the code. I could swear somebody told me SOMEWHERE there's a trick, or another text application, that must be used to write html files. Anybody know about this? Thanks. 1. Open TextEdit.
2. Choose PREFERENCES from the TextEdit application menu.
3. Click the Plain Text radio button for New Document Format.
4. Under Saving, click the checkbox to TURN off "Append '.txt' extension to plain text files."
5. Under Rich text processing, click the checkbox to turn on "Ignore rich text commands in HTML files."
6. Be sure the checkbox for "Wrap to Page" is deselected.

Hey kpac, thanks much! I'm up and running. Good to here.

I would LIKE to know how to remove UNWANTED widgets from OS 10.6 dashboard?

Thanks,

donSure!

All you gotta do is go to your dashboard and click the little Plus (+) sign in the bottom right corner of the screen. X's will then appear on each widget. Click the X to remove the widget.Well i was sure you could just drag the icon to the desktop screen and it would *poof* into the desktop (not on the desktop).This thread is 3 MONTHS OLD

I have my iPod and the only thing that has been playing is AAC files. This is the first time I try a MP3 file and the Itunes program seems not to recognize the format. How I am supposed to import it? Is there any thing that I NEED to set up for MP3? Do I need to convert the MP3 files to AAC? Do Ipods play AAC and MP3 indistinguishably in the same folder? Until now, it was just ripping the music from my own CDs but know I have downloaded the MP3 from Paste Magazine. I read something about MP3 LAME files but I IGNORE what they are. I am posting too many questions. Hopefully SOMEONE can help me. Thanks in advance.Quote from: computeruler on December 23, 2008, 08:29:39 PM

isnt acc a type of media protection? so there for we can not help you remove it (i think)

Please don't bother with posting if you have no idea what you're talking about.



CUERVO,
iTunes and iPod are fully capable of handling MP3's. In fact, it is the only format I use. How exactly are you trying to import the MP3 you downloaded? Are you getting an error message or is the MP3 showing up in your library as gray? Have you tried simply clicking on the file and dragging it and dropping it into your iTunes library?

Also, keep in mind that when you add files to your playlist, you don't use the Import feature. You are actually supposed to go to File > Add File to Library. If this isn't what you are doing, give it a try.

Do either of my suggestions work?

I type in sudo -s and immediately get the request for my password but then it does not allow me to type it in - curser just stays put. What am I doing wrong?It seems to me that your ISSUE is that you're using the SWITCH ("-s") which tells sudo to use the already logged in user's credentials.

It might help if you tell us what exactly you're TRYING to do.Thanks - I got it SOLVED. If you don't mind, would you please post your solution here in case anyone else has a similar issue to yours?
