ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

hi there--
unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware.

Question about taking music from mac to pc and pc to mac

I have a mac book and ipod nano that are only about 4 months old. Well the disk drive on my mac isn't working and I want to add some music to my ipod from a CD. I just downloaded itunes to my dad's PC(windows vista) so that I could upload the music. My cousin told me that she did this once nad t completely whiped all of her music off of her ipod when it synced. Will this really happen?
If I can't use the other computer is there a way I can use a flashdrive to add the music?

If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Mac formatted iPods can only be used on a PC that has a third party helper program such as XPlay or MacDrive installed. XPlay is currently only compatible with Windows XP, 2000, Me or 98SE, a new version for Vista is planned for release later this year. Alternatively since Macs can read Windows formatting the other way to use an iPod on both platforms would be to restore the iPod in iTunes for Windows which of course would erase any content from it, not a viable alternative in your case I'm afraid: How to determine your iPod's disk format
As for using an iPod on multiple computers, to do this you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up. I mean they not on the place where I left them. how to set they stay on the same place? I know there are different possibilities to set.
I tried but it not helped for me. What I can do? How and where can set this they stay on their place?
Thanks.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Yet another question about super raid - GS70

Yes, another question about Super Raid...I recently picked up the cheapest model of the GS70 on newegg which comes with 1 mSata SSD...just a mediocre one if I remember reading correctly. I'm interested in using MSI's Super Raid once my warranty is over with and have been reading a couple posts here:
1. Walk through of how to reinstall OS
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167198.msg1224063#msg1224063
2. I'll need a Super Raid card with links to get some, for about $100 each
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171722.msg1252847#msg1252847
3. I can't get Super Raid unless it originally came with it?
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171185.msg1249640#msg1249640
So what's the bottom line? Would I still be able to enable super raid in the future or am I SOL since it didn't come with it originally?
thanks!

The GT70 CAN come with an adapter that has 2 (on the older, GT70 0NX models) or 3 (on newer GT70 20X models) sockets for mSATA drives. It's an optional part, that takes place of the primary SATA drive in the notebook, and physically has a different part that connects to the motherboard. If it doesn't come with the SuperRaid adapter, then it just has support for a single 2.5" SATA drive.
The GS70 on the otherhand, has this built into the motherboard and there is no swapping it out for a normal 2.5" SATA drive. You can only use mSATA drives (on those ports). The GS70 is meant to be an ultrabook, and therefore does not have the same ability as the GT70 to house up to 2 full size 2.5" SATA drives.
That's really the main difference here. Without physically seeing a GT70 to see how the SuperRaid adapter works, it's slightly difficult to explain.
But in the end, I wouldn't worry about the SuperRaid....The GS70 should have support for Intel Raid Management Engine, in which case that's all you really need.

Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and showEffect in Actionscript

Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and
showEffect in Actionscript
Please kindly take a look at the following page:
http://camusmiu.no-ip.com/HounganQuestion/PictureHolderTest.html
(can view source)
I tried to make an image preloaded and scale the image to
it's preferred size.
When I came to consolidate the stuff into a component, I
found the application goes weird as I implementation the show/hide
effect.
The third trial which just hide and show the images directly,
instead of using viewstack, fail to bring the second image onto
screen.
It just used fadeOut instead of fadeIn(you see there is a
flash of the second image)
After some study of showEffect and hideEffect behaviour,
seems the mechanism of hide/show a component works in this way:
this._fadeIn:Fade = new Fade();
this._fadeIn.alphaFrom = 0;
this._fadeIn.alphaTo = 1;
this._fadeIn.duration = 1000;
this._fadeOut:Fade = new Fade();
this._fadeOut.alphaFrom = 1;
this._fadeOut.alphaTo = 0;
this._fadeOut.duration = 1000;
Component_A.visible = true;
Component_A.setStyle("showEffect", this._fadeIn);
Component_A.setStyle("hideEffect", this._fadeOut);
then when I set Component_A.visible = false, the sequence
works like following:
Component_A.visible = true
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
Component_A.visible = false;
The above sequence works visa versa as:
Component_A.visible = false;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
Component_A.visible = true;
(Correct me if i am wrong)
========================================================================================== ====
From what I observe from the application, I have two
question.
1) When more than one component using the this._fadeIn,
this_fadeOut as the hide/show effects, the component in instance of
this._fadeIn? will it mess out if more than one component using the
fadeIn instance in the same time?
2) from the third component, i.e. PictureHolder3, when I load
other the picture , it fade out the new image instead of fading
in... Seems there is problem if I hide show too frequent. I think
when I hide then show right the way, the component only do the hide
part...
Can someone pls look into it and tell me what I did wrong?
Cuz in normal practice I don't think appropriate to use ViewStack
in Actionscript...

Hello Jack,
Currently, you can only import an swf file or you can embed videos from youtube, vimeo etc. into Muse / add HTML5 Video to Your Website.
Take a look at these simple videos that explain the currently available processes for adding videos in Muse, in a step by step method:

Question about networking iMac and streaming video to TV

I have the 24" iMac 2.66GHz with 4 G ram. Currently using Motorola SBG900 (Docsis 2) cable modem & router to stream Comcast through house (another PC, iPhones, LG Blu Ray player/digital video streamer).
Recently acquired a Netgear Rangemax 3700 which is supposed to be the fastest current wireless router. Here are my questions:
1) Can I just use the Motorola SBG900 as modem ONLY and run the ethernet out of it to the Netgear router (thus bypassing the router built into the SBG900). Will this accelerate the streaming of video to other receivers?
2) Would I be better off with a Motorola 6120 Docsis 3 Cable modem feeding the Netgear router (even though my Comcast cable feed is Docsis 2, not 3)?
3) Since my Comcast account is rated 10 Mbps max (though it sometimes goes up to 15 or so late at night) and I believe the existing Motorola SBG90 is rated at 54 Mbps, is the limiting factor the speed of my Comcast connection and all else doesn't matter? That is, is it impossible to speed up my streaming or download speed without a faster connection to the Internet?
4) What kinds of connections are there that are faster than Comcast cable connections?
Basically, I don't want to waste money or time if I'm already at the maximum throughput available given my connection. If I can get marginal speed increases by adding new modem and router, that's fine. I'll do that.
Thanks for your help.
PS: I owned and returned the Airport Extreme Base Station. It did not increase the speed of my connection or streaming, but then it tested very poorly at www.smallnetbuilder.com -- about half the speed of the Netgear Rangemax.

Can't help with Q 1 + 2, but here are some things to consider re:
+3) Since my Comcast account is rated 10 Mbps max (though it sometimes goes up to 15 or so late at night) and I believe the existing Motorola SBG90 is rated at 54 Mbps, is the limiting factor the speed of my Comcast connection and all else doesn't matter? That is, is it impossible to speed up my streaming or download speed without a faster connection to the Internet?+
My Comcast account is rated 15 Mbps and I never get that. I've done everything I can here including Cat 6 cables (instead of Cat 5), but the major problem/hangup in my case is: Comcast is using 20-year old buried cables from their hub (approx. 10 mi across town) to the neighborhoods here - those cables are "leftovers" from the company Comcast purchased the rights from. So, we not only have old cables, but the little boxes all over the neighborhood feed at least 6 - 10 homes each, so you are sharing the available bandwidth with the neighbors. And, whenever everyone seems to be online at the same time, my downloads slow down to a c r a w l (as slow or slower than dialup occasionally!).
So, unless you have a better/newer cable setup where you are, you need to keep that in mind; in that case, no matter what you do, you are at the mercy of Comcast's equipment and your neighbors' usage.
4) The only one I know of is FioS (fiber optic).

Question about using iMac 2011 as a monitor

hi ,, i have imac 2011 21'5
can i use as a monitor to play xbox 360 on it using mini displayport to hdmi cable ??
if no then is there way else i can play xbox on my imac screen

Frank:
Thanks so much for responding! One question about your post. When you say that the Mac Mini cannot boot in OS 9, does that mean that if I wanted it to hold Filemaker Pro 4 files (which runs on OS 9), that it cannot do this? We would not be running Filemaker on the Mini, just storing the files. We would run Filemaker off of our desktop computers. Sorry, I don't know a ton about computers, so sometimes I need clarification about the terms that people use.-Rob

Question about image slideshow (like mac file preview)

Hello!Ι have a question about Adobe Edge.is it possible to create a photo slide show like mac's file preview? i mean smthg like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q727LqDIZKM

Hi, TasisGrafix2-
Edge Animate doesn't support css3d natively, but you can use a third party library such as edgehero.js to make this work.

Another question about gmail

I just posted a question about adding gmail and it was answered. Now, I have another question, I added the new gmail account. It shows in the mail preferences under accounts. Incoming mail addressed to gmail comes to the Archive Box. But I still can't send mail by gmail because in the drop down menu on the email it only lists my other two accounts. Gmail is not an option. I highlighted gmail in the account list and it showed that as the account in use. But, still there was no gmail option on the email form in the sender box. How do I fix that?

You need to look at and read over these very carefully.

Question about virus on a mac

ive read posts about people saying that macs cant get virus's. but i was mainly jus wondering what would happen if u downloded something off limewire or the internet and it had a virus in it would it affect your mac? or because its a pc virus nothing would happen.Do pc virus's affect macs even if one got on your mac.thanx for any replies.

Kappy,
I have to respectfully disagree with a couple of your comments:
Most users are behind routers whose built-in firewalls provide sufficient protection against outside invasion. Furthermore, hackers are not interested in your computer or mine. They are only interested in computers that have something worth getting.
Here's why:
1. Although the percentage is rising, most consumers are not behind routers. A very large number of broadband consumers are directly connected to a cable or DSL modem.
2. The overwhelming majority of consumer-grade routers, and especially wireless routers, are not configured for security. They tend to have two common features:
- Default (wide open) settings configured.
- Default or NO admin passwords.
3. Any Joe Sixpack's computer can be used to crack a "worthwhile" computer's data, send spam, collect email addresses, distribute illegal content, and for DOS attacks. Botnets are extremely profitable.
Cracking a router and using its CPU and limited memory for spam and DOS is becoming more common as well. It's important to protect your router, too.
That said, I find the rest of your comments, especially the "If it bleeds, it leads." attitude in the press, fair.

Quick question about backing up my Mac

I recently switched over to a Mac for school and I am loving it so far. However, I noticed there is no real "Back-Up" function. However, while browsing through my preferences one day, I came across Time Machine. Does it work similar to backing up on a Windows PC? All I want it to plug in my external HD and to back up like every month or so, so that I can restore my PC to the previous settings if something goes wrong. Just something similar to a "system restore".
Will Time Machine do that for me? It seems like more of something that you would keep your hard drive plugged in forever and it would just back up every once in a while, but I don't want to have it plugged in all the time.
Also, this is kind of off topic, but is there anything similar to CCleaner for a Mac? Thanks!

Hi there
Yes, Time Machine will create a full system backup of your Mac that is restorable.
Time Machine is made to backup:
Hourly for the past 24 hours
Daily for the past month
Weekly for the previous months
Older backups are deleted when the backup volume becomes full.
If you would prefer to do only monthly backups then you may do so, however, Time Machine may produce an error from time to time, saying that it was unable to complete the backup.
And in answer to your other question, there is an app called CleanMyMac, or there is an AppleScript/Automator App called Maintainence 3.8 (there are many others though)

Another question about adding music to iPhone

Apologies for yet another question regarding adding music to an iPhone but I am completely stuck.
I bought a new laptop in January (it runs windows 8). I've authorised it and synced my phone to it before. I've used it to add music before.
Lately I've just been buying music directly from itunes on my phone but I wanted to add some music from my older collection that is on an external harddrive.
I've gone through the process of syncing the phone again, which has wiped whatever was on there. I made sure I'd ticked on the "manually manage music" box.
It's put all my purchased music back but it still will not let me drag and drop music from my external harddrive. When I hover over with the file it has "link" but it won't actually send the music to the phone.
Is there a way for me to do this without putting music on to my itunes library? I don't like itunes and I definitely don't want to add the music to my laptop as it defeats the purpose of having an external harddrive! Sorry for such a long-winded explanation.

Just to add... I've now tried adding music to the library (getting desperate here) and it's not letting me do that either. Just says 'link'.
This is the most frustrating thing ever. Why are the simplest of tasks made so difficult? It seems like it only works if you buy the music from the iTunes store.

Yet another question about burners for iDVD 6

It's not my intention to be redundant and the question about which DVD burners are compatible with the most recent release of iDVD has been asked a few times since iLife '06 was released at MacWorld last week. Yet, though Apple has announced it, why have they not posted a list of compatible devices?
Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
In either case, has anyone determined if this information is available and, if so, where?
Thanks.

Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
Check with the support sections of the manufacturer's websites - after all, THEY are the ones trying to sell burners.

Question about Message Authentication Code (MAC)

Can a MAC detect if someone altered or replace a message? Also, can someone delete a message?

A MAC can detect tampering, assuming it's a strong MAC (like SHA1), and assuming you use it correctly.
Frankly, it's the second part that is most likely to stymy you. It's easy to get strong algorithms; using them well is much, much more difficult.
A MAC is absolutely useless for detecting if a message has been deleted. In fact, detecting missing messages is an intractible problem. You can increase the odds of noticing a missing message, but you can never guarantee it.
