Help! How do I import Hotmail without Entourage?

I'm not sure if I should keep my pbook G4. I can't believe that I'd have to use Entourage from Office 2004 for Mac ($399.95) just to get Hotmail! Is there an uncomplicated way or good program for me to use?
I have old mail from Outlook that I would like to keep & access as well. Am I forced to buy Office 2004 just so I can access my other documents? Thanks in advance...Diana
Mac Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi Diana.
There is a plug-in for Apple's Mail app called 'httpmail', which I use to access my Hotmail thru Mail. Give it a go, it's free and downloadable from MacUpdate.
With regard to other Mail you have in Outlook, the following is an excerpt from one of Apple's 'Switch' pages:
Email messages and settings
If you use a web-based email service to view and send email, such as Yahoo! Mail or Google’s Gmail, then you won’t need to copy your email or email settings to your new Mac. You can continue using web-based email with our Safari Internet browser.
However, if your email is managed by a separate application like Outlook or Eudora, then you will probably want to migrate your old mail to your new Mac. Different email programs use different methods of storing messages. We’ve collected some useful links to help.
Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express use a proprietary format for storing messages. Microsoft’s web site has a tutorial on how to transfer email files. Or you could invest $10 in Little Machines’ Outlook2Mac, which is compatible with Microsoft Outlook only, not Outlook Express.
Eudora, Netscape Mail or other mbox-based mail application use a standard mail format. Read this article for information.
You should also make note of your existing email settings. Later, when first using your new Mac, you’ll use this information to set up email. Open your email application, find the “Accounts” area, and write down the following information about your existing email setup:
Account type: POP or IMAP
Email address
Incoming mail server
Outgoing mail server
User name and password
Hope you find something of use in there; sorry for not providing more specific help, I've not personally had to copy email over from a PC. Best of luck!

How do you import photos without deleting photos off the memory card?

If you're using Image Capture, Aperture or iPhoto just say 'No' when it asks if you want them deleted.

Well, configure the application server/web container to listen to the default http port of 80, rather than 8080.
I couldnt get where to specify 80 instead of 8080 so that it opens without numbers

Please help - how do I import music from my ipod into a new itunes library?

Hello
I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get the music from my old ipod mini into the new itunes library on my new laptop.
The mini was previously sync'd with my old PC which died so my files are only present on the ipod. Upon loading itunes, the software is only letting my sync the ipod providing I wipe it (obviously not desirable...)
Thanks for any support, Andy

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" as you already know will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How do I import clips without the "Handles"?

I'm trying to build a project from several different iMovie 5.0.2 projects. The problem is, after trimming the clips I need in one project, in attempting to import the individual clip to my new project, iMovie tries to import the ENTIRE project and not just the clip.
The root of the problem may be that each of the projects I'm drawing from was originally an hour-long continuous take of a live performance. The clips I'm trying to import were cut from this and placed in the Clips window.
Is there a way, short of trashing and flushing all footage beyond the specific clips I want, to import a clip from another project without getting the "handles" (the rest of the movie) attached?
Many thanks (and the usual nomination for sainthood) to any and all who can help!
Cheers!

Powermac G4/dual 1-GHz/silver Door Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1TB HD / 2GB RAM

Chris,
One way to do it is to first select a clip and choose File>Share>QuickTime Full Quality. Also, be sure to check the "Share selected clips only" check box.
Then import the resulting files to the new project.

HELP - How do you install classic without erasing OS 10.4.8

Please help....I just replaced my PowerBook G4 with a new MacBook and would like to pass the G4 down to my daughter. Most of the games that she uses are in classic from her old Imac. My G4 came with classic but I had to reinstall OSX a while ago and never put classic back in. I can't get it to boot from any OS CD that I have, please advise.
Thanks,
Dad trying to do good for his 7yr old daughter

Hi FKTS,
The Classic files for your PowerBook G4 are on the original install DVD that came with it.
A Panther (10.3.x) install set of DVD/CDs most probably?
Anyway, insert this original install disc, and look for "Classic Support" installer, something like that.
Double-click, follow the prompts.
Classic will get installed without changing anything to the existing Tiger installation, just like it would do with the original OS (Panther or Jaguar?).
If you don't find anything like "Classic Support Something":
Some original installations came through a first step of installing an additional software installer (example my iMac G4).
- No problem: In that case, you'll have to double-click the Mac OS X installation icon first, then instead of reinstalling Mac OS X, you'll find your way to a Custom Installation of additional/bundled software.
Proceed to install Classic.
Here too, it'll get installed without modifying your OS (whether it is the original one or your newly installed Tiger).
Have fun!

Help: how to show 9i forms without browser

Hi, I want to show 9i forms in separate frame without browser, and I use JInitiator. I use separateFrame=true, which worked. But my question is since I don't need the browser, I want to close it. The problem is it'll close the form too. I think the reason for that is the browser is the parent of the form. Can someone tell me whether is possible to close the browser page without closing the actual form? or is there any other way to display actual form without the browser frame. Please help! Thanks,
Sa

Thanx for ur reply,
Actually the senario is when i click on a button, another jsp page should be displayed in a modal window without popup, but the functions alert() and confirm() will not accept the url path of the another jsp page...

How can I import photos without using iPhoto?

I'm 37, a lifetime PC/Windows user and have finally made the switch to Mac after years of using every other Apple product, including iPod, iPhone and Apple TV, which, by the way, must be the most under-marketed and best value Apple product ever. I can't believe more people don't have Apple TV in their homes.
With PCs, I was used to importing pictures to my hard drive and then viewing and editing them with whatever software applications I wanted. With my Mac, I notice that when I insert my SD card, iPhoto starts and asks me to import, which I agree. Unfortunately, it imports the images to an iPhoto folder that I can't easily access from another program, such as PhotoshopElements. I have read how to use Finder to navigate to these imported images in the iPhoto library ("Show Package Content") and then I copy the folder of images and paste it to a folder in my "Pictures" directory in Finder, but I find this tedious and also redundant as I now I understand I basically have two copies of every image, one for iPhoto Library and the other for accessing via other programs, such as Photoshop.
Is there anyway I can simply import images straight to a folder on my hard drive?
Also, if I do choose to access these images via iPhoto, am I correct in assuming iPhoto will automatically create a duplicate folder, just for accessing in the iPhoto library? If so, isn't this a waste of hard drive space? Can this be avoided?
Thank you for any and all assistance.
Kevin

Hi Kevin, I am in the same boat as you having been buying PCs for the last 25 years and managing IT for SMEs I have now purchased my first Mac (mac mini). My move to Mac started with the iPhone that led to the iPad then like you I succumbed to the beauty of the Apply TV that then led to the purchase of an Airport Express. The love affair had to conclude in the purchase of a Mac!
For many years I have used the feature to have the date photos taken created as a folder and all photos from that date placed in that folder. Every year I create a new folder for that year and the import on PC creates the daily folders to hold photos …
I was just about to ask how I can keep doing this and realised it’s not as important as I thought – I’ll still create a folder for each year and just have the photos dumped in there. I can sort in Finder by date taken and catalogue in any way I won’t.
I’ll still use folders rather than iPhoto as I want other software like XBMC (on other OS) to read the photos.
Thanks for letting me rant – I thought I will post anyway as this is my first Apple post and it may assist others.

HELP - How can I import Nikon .nef files into Lightroom?

I installed Lightroom 5 on a Mac and tried importing (copy as DNG) .net files from an SD card I used with my Nikon D750 (LR 5 is supposed to support the D750). LR couldn't display a preview or import that file type so I used the latest Adobe DNG converter (version 9) to convert the .nef pics on the SD card. LR then recognized the images but STILL WOULD NOT IMPORT them. I get an error message saying the images could not be "read." I've tried 2 different SD cards. !Any suggestions? Thanks.
I even tried uninstalling Lightroom 5 and installing a trial of Lightroom CC. I tried importing .dng files that were converted from Nikon .net files with the Adobe DNG converter. I received the error message in the screen shot below.

This error message means you have to set the Destination directory to have WRITE permission.
So, determine what directory is specified in the Import dialog box on the right in the Destination section. Then go to your operating system, find this exact directory, and then change the directory to have WRITE permission.

Help: how can web form shown without browser frame at all

Hi,
I upgraded to 9i form from 6.0. I want to show form without browser frame. So I used seperateFrame=true in formsweb.cfg and I use IE=JInitiator. (I tried to use IE=native, which didn't work). I have form developer installed in my window 2000 computer and tested it, it did show applet without browser. However, when I deployed to Unix AS, it still embeded in browser frame with same configuration file. I don't know why. Could someone give me some suggestions? I really need to take off the browser frame (just taking off toolbar or task bar,etc is not good enough). Also, can someone tell me what else need to be done without using JInitiator and if it will take the browser frame off too? Thanks,
Sa

When you say "the same configuration file" do you mean literally the same configuration file i.e. a copy of the file uploaded via FTP (or similar)? If so, did you run the dos2unix command (or similar) to strip out the spurious control characters?
Cheers, APC

Runnig 10.6.8 on a MacBook PRO.....

The easiest fix if you're running Snow Leopard is to export all your contacts, then import them into something like google (I already had a gmail account), and then just use google to sync your contacts instead of icloud (via the sync with Google button in the address book settings).
Its a bit sluggish to update, but it works well. You can then point your iphone, and other iOS devices to use google for contacts too.
If Apple don't want to look after their customers, other companies will gladly do so....
