Combining Tracks - Silly question

I rent a lot of books on tape from my library and upload them to iTunes. Needless to say it's extremely unorganized in my library and on my iPod because, unlike purchased books, they are all in seperate 3 minute tracks.
Is there ANY way to combine a ton of tracks into one major track?

2 silly questions what is boot camp and do I need it? & How to transfer PC

Okay, I've just ordered my first mac it's a 17" 1.83 refurb iMac, I've noticed a lot of stuff about boot camp, what is it? Does it allow me to transfer my old pc files to my Imac? The only files I will be transfering are pictures and music files can anyone tell me how easy or hard this will be, Thanks again

There are no silly questions.
Boot Camp (which is still a beta until Mac OS X 10.5 'Leopard' comes out) allows you to boot your Intel-based Mac in either Windows XP or Mac OS X. It will make an extra partition on your internal hard drive on which you can install WinXP SP2.
To transfer you PC files onto your Mac you will not need Boot Camp. There are several ways to do it, but perhaps the easiest is to burn you files on a CD-R or DVD-R and insert the disc into your Mac.
For your music files: start iTunes and import all music files from your CD/DVD (File menu > Import).
For your pics: start iPhoto and import all your pictures from the CD/DVD (File menu > Import in Library). iPhoto is really the best way to keep track of all your current and future pics and share them with anyone.
Good luck and welcome to the Mac world!

VirtualBox VM - silly question!

Hi gang - apologies if this is not the correct thread.
Just got my first iMac and we need to use one bit of Windows software, so I installed VirtualBox VM and installed a Windows XP Home build.
Now this might seem a silly question, but does the virtual environment need anti-virus software?
I should know the answer to this - after all I managed to set it up correctly using an ISO disk image of XP Home and added Microsoft Money 95 (yes, 95!) using a combination of ISO images, shared folders with Mac etc - so why don't I know the answer to this simple question!?
Surely my thinking is correct - that a virus couldn't possibly affect a virtual environment, or for that matter, the Mac Host!?
Cheers

With VM, it depends on what you do in it. If you are surfing the web and responding to email in the VM Windows, then you might need Anti-Virus software installed.
However, if you are just using it to get work done on a Windows-only program, the likelihood of you getting any malware is pretty slim. If you are transferring files between it and other windows users, then you have a higher chance of getting some form of malware onto your VM.
Being that your sole purpose is managing your financial information, I would definitely not risk it and install AV on the XP VM.

Multi-track recording question

Multi-track recording question
Hey, just need some help on multi tracking using audition, hope this is the right forum?
Wanted to know if anyone has a clue about assigning inputs from an audio interface to separate tracks on a recording program (ie: Adobe audition)
I record live with my band alot, and have every amp and the kit mic'd up, but how do i make it so that each microphone is recording to a different track on the PC?
My interface is an M audio fast track ultra, if that is of any use.
Any advice appreciated! Thanks!

In Audition, assuming that you can see all of the inputs available in the Hardware Setup, you find the right-facing arrow (input assign) on each track in MV's Main view, and you click on the box it's pointing to, go to Mono, and select the input you want for that particular track. The mono ones say [01M], [02M], etc. If you want to record a stereo track, then select the Stereo option where the inputs are paired and say [01S] et seq. This would have input 1 as left, input 2 as right.
If you can't see all of the inputs available, try selecting the ASIO driver in Hardware Setup...

Silly Questions - Upload Speed & Hardware

Hi tere network people,
Networking ignorant here in need of your help.
I'm using a PowerMac G4 as a server and I have a PHP website going to share some pics with friends.
Some lamented it can be slow to download the pictures on their side (Most, if not all, have Broadband). The picture files are not huge, but my connection is only a residential Broadband one.
The ISP states that: "The upload speed is 256 Kilobits/Sec. Average upload rates are circa 20 Kilobytes/Sec."
Coming to my silly questions:
1) How much my Upload speed should be to confortably support 5-10 users at a time?
2) Since I got a new PM G4 with a 7200 rpm HD and a Gigabit Ethernet port and a slightly faster processor, should I look at the modem/router specs? Can they affect/limit upload speed?
If anyone can give me some basic tips, I'd be grateful.
Cheers!
PM G4 (PCI Graphics) - 350Mhz, 128-bit, 100 MHz, L1 Cache: 64K, L2 Cache: 512/1M, CD-Rom, 10GB Mac OS X (10.3.5)
PM G4 (PCI Graphics) - 350Mhz, 128-bit, 100 MHz, L1 Cache: 64K, L2 Cache: 512/1M, CD-Rom, 10GB Mac OS X (10.3.5)

1) How much my Upload speed should be to confortably support 5-10 users at a time?
That's easy to calculate.
Assume that your 10 users are on broadband connections with a 1mbps download speed. In order to fulfill everyone's demands at top speed you need a 1mpbs x 10, or 10mpbs upload speed.
Of course, it's unlikely that everyone will download files at the same time, and it's also unlikely that they'll sustain 100% of their rated download speed, so you can probably halve that figure without any noticeable degradation, but even 5mpbs is way higher than your current 256kbps upload link.
It's also clear that your internet connection is your bottleneck. Upgrading the server isn't going to make any difference.

This may be a silly question but how do I get my music from my old ipod to the Ipod touch. when I go to move my music a error pops up saying your music wasn't copied to this ipod because it can not be played on this ipod. what can I do??

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

Help, i have a silly question i know ur gonna laugh

hi
i know this is a silly question but i have a ipod and i was wondering if there was software that could be downloaded so that u can watch videos if u dont have an ipod which has that facility
thanks

If you don't have an iPod video, you won't be able to watch videos.
iPodLinux does exist; however, it is only supported on 1st, 2nd & 3rd generation iPods (the non-clickwheel models) and does not enable videos
If you want to check it out, vist www.ipodlinux.org.

Besides Apple's own mail can the iPhone run any other email software e.g. thunderbird, etc.?
Mark

I'm worried that when I collect emails on my iPhone she wont be able to collect those (same) emails via her powerbook (as I will already have collected them). My thought was; if I could use say Thunderbird on my iPhone and collect mail she would be able to collect the same mail via Apple's mail on her powerbook.
That's not how collecting mail works, really. The email client doesn't matter *at all*--it depends on whether the account is POP or IMAP and what settings are in use.
I have a POP account that is set up to download messages and then leave them on the server (this requires setting the POP settings in both Mail desktop and Mail iPhone that way). So all my messages get downloaded both in Mail and on my phone as new, unread, messages.
A POP account set to delete from server after downloading would cause the problem you cite. An IMAP account would download the messages everywhere, but would mark the ones you had already read as Read when your wife downloaded them, and if your wife deleted a message that wasn't for her, it would also get deleted for you.
Google POP vs IMAP for more, and see what your email provider offers, and check the settings.
Not such a silly question---it's a bit complicated.

ATI Radeon X1900 model designation - a silly question

Hi all,
I guess I reserved a silly question for for my very first discussions post!
I have a Feb 2007 vintage 2.66 Mac Pro with the ATI X1900 graphics card. When I ran software update on this machine today, it ignored the ATI X1900 XT firmware update recently posted by Apple. Upon querying my card in system profiler, I see it listed as simply "ATY,RadeonX1900"–no XT at the end. Also, both the "ATY" and the lack of a space after the comma are not typos on my part-that's exactly how they appear in system profiler-weird. It listed the device ID as: 0x1002.
Is the "XT" a more recent model of the X1900 series? I queried my serial number on Apple's specification page, and it said I should have a X1900 XT, but I suspect Apple updates these on the fly.
I really want to keep my drivers and firmware up to date, but I certainly don't want try to install an incorrect firmware update-yikes. Should I trust software update or should I manually download this update from Apple's site and install it?

Thanks, guys! This is really helpful information.
I'll go back and read the posts concerning this update. Having gone through the G4 "leaf blower" fan noise ordeal, I don't want to make my blissfully quiet MacPro any louder (and neither do my office mates).
I work in 3-D modelling and architectural graphics, and I've stepped up to the big display/high end graphics card world at the same time as my applications (formZ, SketchUp, Lightwave, CS3) are rewriting their software for Intel Macs. A few minor, but annoying, issues persist, and I was naivley hoping a simple firmware update would be the silver bullet. Yeah, right.
Maybe I'm just "pre-registering" my anxiety over Leopard...
Oh well. Chin-up! And thank you all for the quick replies!

Silly Question- PREVIEW - Leopard Rotating Pics

Silly question, but a little "bothersome" on this end.
Just upgraded to 10.5.4. In my previous OSX PREVIEW of pictures, if the pictures were rotated (from the camera), they showed up that way in PREVIEW and I had to manually rotate them. Now, Preview seems to show them in the proper position, but then when I send to family, they may be rotated in the wrong position. Some of my contacts aren't very computer savvy and don't understand how to rotate them on their own.
Isn't there somewhere in PREVIEW that I can turn off the automatic rotate so I can rotate them on my own.
I hope this is clear---it's a silly question, but solving it will make my life a little simpler!
Thanks!
job

The rotated picture business is bit confusing, so bear with me a minute.
When you shoot in portrait view your camera records everything the same as it does in landscape view, but adds a little digital note saying, in effect, "this picture is supposed to display in portrait." Some things can read the note, and some things can't. Both Finder and Preview can read the note and display the picture appropriately, Safari can't. If you want to see how those on other machines might see the picture, just drag it into an open Safari window.
Now--what to do. Because of the complaints of graphic pros the Mac OS no longer automatically applies the rotation to the actual pixels....you have to do it yourself. I usually do so in Photoshop, but if you use iPhoto you can EXPORT the photo, and then the rotation will be saved and the pixels altered.
If you want to use Preview try this:
1. Open the photo and resave immediately, in the "Save as..." dialog box you'll see a line with a check box under the format information, that says "Use Exif Orientation Tag"--uncheck the box and save.
2. Reopen the photo--this time it will display the actual state of the pixels, so it will be sideways
3. Rotate so it is in portrait view
4. Save again
If you drop the photo in Safari it should now appear "correctly" and will display anywhere and everywhere in the correct orientation.
