How big an audiobook will it hold?

I wanted to download an audio book for my 1st generation shuffle (500mb) and wonder how big a book I can download. As far as I can see iTunes only indicates the length of the audio book not the size. I assume if I can't fit the entire audiobook on the shuffle then I can't break it into sections either.
Is there a way to search short books or size criteria?
Thanks,
Al

It doesn't show the size in the store, but it will in iTunes.
Books are recorded at a lower bit-rate, and I can't imagine one being so large as not to fit on the Shuffle.
Well, maybe the Oxford English Dictionary, but I don't think that's available

How big a difference will 2 gigs of RAM make compared to 1?

I'm definitely upgrading my MacBook to at least a gig of RAM when I get it, but I am thinking about upgrading to 2. Unfortunately, even after-market RAM is rather expensive in 1GB modules.
My question is: Will I see any major differences in performance between the 1 and 2 gigs of RAM while playing games with similar requirements to Apple's "Intermediate Gaming" games such as UT2004?
What about a scenario of running iTunes, several web pages in your favorite web browser, some sort of filesharing app, one or two IM clients (Adium and Skype/Gizmo), and the odd number of little background apps? How about on Leopard, or even on <insert name of cat to be 10.6>?
Sorry about the pummeling of questions :P

Elispiro,
Normally, I recommend 1.5 GBs for any Mac that will be "put through its paces," as gaming does. Having this amount of RAM allows for plenty of "Inactive" physical memory, which is the figure that provides a big speed boost.
You see, having enough RAM to avoid excessive "swaps" while you are using your applications provides speed boost #1. This is the most important reason to upgrade RAM, and it happens at around 1 GB. Speed boost #2 will be delivered by having a bit more than this 1 GB threshhold, through the use and maintainance of a large amount of "Inactive" memory. This memory contains code and data for applications that have quit, but might be launched again in the near future, thus speeding the availability of these applications to a great degree. 1.5 GBs of RAM provides this boost in most circumstances.
As I say, this is what I normally recommend. For owners of the new Macbooks (and Macbook Pros), however, there is another consideration. If you install memory in "matching pairs" of RAM modules, the RAM bus on the new machines will operate in "Dual-Channel" mode. This mode allows the DIMMs to be accessed simultaneously, on the same clock cycle, thereby increasing the total memory throughput.
For the Macbook Pros, this is a minor speed boost. On the Macbooks, though, it is reported that this small boost really helps with the "integrated" graphics. Since the integrated graphics processor must share main memory, this Dual-Channel mode becomes very important. Especially true of you want to play any games
So for you, I recommend going directly to 2 GBs. This is the only configuration that will give you every posssible speed boost that additional RAM will provide. It need not be as expensive as you might be thinking. a 2 GB "kit" for your Macbook is less than $200 US on this website. I'm don't know the ramifications of purchasing/shipping from Canada, but I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

Do not know how big or small items in image will be after being printed out

I have just started using photoshop to develop some designs that are meant to be printed on fabric. And then sewn into dresses
While I know how to change the size and scale of the image and canvas. I can not tell how big or small the objects or different elements in the pattern will be when printed out.
For example if I want to have a certain part of the pattern appear on the shoulder of a dress and another on the hem, how do I ensure that they are printed at the right size and in the right place.
I tried printing out one pattern on a meter of fabric and it turn out that it was too big and most of the design will be cut in the process of making the dress. I have no way to determine the dimensions.
Is there a way where I can place a dress outline over an image to check it out or size the individual items inside?
Thank you

Do you have the cut in digital form (vector or pixels)?

How much space does my Organizer hold? Will it ever get full?

Hi, I was just wondering how many pic's will my Organizer hold? Will it ever run out of space? Cause I sure do have alot in there now. Windows xp with 512 of ram.
Thanks, [email protected]

Thanks for the correction. Yes, the file size in Jet 4.0 was changed to 2
gigabytes. I had forgotten that. I've been retired two years for Heaven's
sake. However, within the context that I brought it up, it was only to
tease a little bit :-) by indicating that there is a physical limit
to the size of the database and, hence, a limit to the number of entries --
i.e. it's not unbounded. Whether it's 1 or 2 gigabytes, it's still finite.
And, for Organizer, it hardly matter much because performance issues would
probably create a practical limit long before the physical limit was
reached.
Jet 4.0 was the last version of the Jet database engine and that was
superceded by the Microsoft Desktop engine (MSDE) and (as of the time of my
retirement at least) was deprecated as a component of the Microsoft Data
Access Components (MDAC). Time marches on. I understand that Microsoft is
replacing MSDE with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and that standard
support of MSDE will cease at the end of next year. Taking all that into
account, I think I can be forgiven for opining JET obsolete. :-) I have not
heard of a new version of JET in the works. If you have, more power to you.
Being retired, I no longer need to keep on top of database developments or
care to. :-) :-) :-)
Time to get back on topic.

I want to buy an iPod touch 64 GB w/ facetime. How many songs will it hold?

My husband wants to transfer some music from Cd's to my future iPod touch. About how much music will it hold?

The answer is "it depends"; it depends on how you import the CDs and what else you might put on the iPod. A song imported at 256 kbps AAC, which is the format used in the iTunes Store, takes up about 8.2 megabytes for a four minute song. The 64GB iPod touch has an actual usable capacity of about 59.4 gigabytes, so you can do the math from there.
Importing the CDs at a higher or lower bit rate (bit rate directly relates to quality; the higher the bit rate, all other things being equal, the higher the quality of the track) will reduce or increase the number of tracks you could put in your iPod. And of course the more apps, movies, videos, photos etc. you put in your iPod, the fewer songs you can put on it.
Regards.

How many contacts can the iPhone hold....now?

This question was asked back in 2008 and has been archived, however I'd like to revisit this issue.
What I'd like to know, is this:
How many contacts can the iPhone hold before it effects performance?
I have a iPhone user with an MS Exchange email account on the phone, Calendar and Contact sync is turned on. The problem is, the user has 10,000 contacts.
The contacts synchronized to the iphone, however, when writing emails or doing any task that accesses the contacts database (i.e. auto-completion of names), There is a good 35 to 40 second lag before you can enter the second letter of a name on the keyboard. I can only assume that this is due to the pure insanity of having 10,000 contacts on a mobile device... The search takes too long. Although it did work just fine on the blackberry (a lessor device ).
Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on how many contacts one can successfully store on an iPhone without running into the "lag" issue?
Thanks in advance.

What is the overall size of all these songs?
This will determine how many songs the iPhone can hold.
The actual capacity of an 8GB iPhone is around 7.3 GB - OS X alone takes up approximately 500MB.
You should leave some free space available on the iPhone for general operating purposes and if you access any email accounts and for Safari cache purposes, etc.
So you have around 7GB available - as long as the overall size of all 9400 songs isn't greater than 7GB or so, you are covered.

How big of a root partition should I have?

I am new to Archlinux and Linux in general. I recently installed my first Arch system but I have not yet installed a desktop environment for I am trying to learn the command line. I was planning on using this weekend to set up a desktop environment but I cannot decide which one to use, so I will try them all (or at least Gnome and Xfce). My question is how big of a root partition should I have to give me ample space to play around including having more than one desktop environment installed at once. I currently have a 20 GB hard drive with my root partition set to 4 GB.
Thank You

How big of a hard drive for 15" G4 667

I have a 15" G4 667 and it has a 30gb... how big of a hard drive can i install in it... i would like to install a 160gb

Hi, letmeno. If your 667MHz Powerbook has a DVI video-out port, it will format a nominal 160GB drive to its actual capacity (about 149GB) and use it happily, without any other limitations.
If you have the 667MHz model with a VGA video-out port, only 127-128GB of a 160GB drive can be recognized in it, and the last 20GB of the drive's actual capacity will be unavailable. Partitioning the drive has no effect on this hardware limitation.
A 120GB drive (the next size down) has a formatted capacity in any machine of about 111GB, so a 160GB drive actually provides a significant increase even in a Powerbook that can't use the whole drive. If you have the VGA model, and the difference between 111GB and 128GB is worth the difference in price between a 120 and a 160GB drive to you, go ahead and install a 160. Otherwise, even a 120 would certainly be a huge improvement over a 30.
If you do buy a 160, any later Powerbook or other recent Mac model will be able to reformat it to its full capacity. Whenever you move on to a newer Mac, you can just mount the 160 in an external enclosure for continued use, put the 30 back into the Tibook, and sell it or give it away.

How big of a Hard Drive can I put in?

I was wondering how big of a HDD I can put in my iMac Early 2006 4,1?

Logic Pro,
You don't say specifically which 24" iMac you have Aluminum or White. Here are instructions for the Aluminum:

If your iMac is still under warranty please remember doing this will probably void any warranty you have left.

How big of a hardrive can i use in my gigabit ethernet g4 dual 500.

Hi there.
I wanted to now how big of a hard drive can i use in my gigabit ethernet g4 powerpc with a dual 500 processor . at the present time i have one 80 and one 20 gig drive in there now.
So my answer is how big of a drive can i use before i have problems with seting it up. Like i want to use a 500 gig drive in my computer and my old 80 gig too. i want to buy a apple tv and store my dvds on the big 500 hardrive so i have alot of room for the vidio files, for apple t.v . If i can use one as big as one terabite you now the real big one that would be fine. The more room i have the better for me. I will be able to watch the movies i downloaded from the internet and i wont have to burn them at all.
This is of corse if apple tv will handle it.

Hi-
If you need that much storage, and you'll have to buy a controller anyhow, get a SATA controller card, and put one or two 500gb SATA drives in. The enterprise class of SATA drives are made especially for multi media storage, have excellent seek times and fast data transfer rates. A "bargain" on a package can be had at OWC:

or
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/SATAM10TBPCI/
The MaxLine Pro drives have great characteristics, and are reviewed favorably.
I have an OWC SATA card, and the card works perfectly, and is cheaper than other makers cards of equivalent specs.

How big a hard drive do I need for iMac and Time Machine?

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere already. I am going to buy an iMac, probably the new 24" with a 320G internal HDD. I already have one Lacie external 320G HDD so I was wondering whether I can use this for Time Machine backups, or do I need to buy a bigger one? If so, how big? Is there a rule of thumb for working out how much hard drive space you need to have for Time Machine, for instance if I were to buy the 500G iMac what would I need?
thanks.

I agree with the "double the size" rule of thumb. You should also consider how much of the 320GB you are actually using and are likely to use in the next year or two. After all, it's the amount of storage you use that matters, not the size of the disk. Disks will very likely be cheaper soon. You should also keep in mind that TM deletes old archive data when it runs out of disk space. So as long as you have more disk space than you have data to back up, TM will work, though you will lose older versions of your data.
So if your 320GB drive only has 100GB used and you're not the kind of person who eats up disk like there's no tomorrow, the 320GB drive should be fine for now. If you expect that 320GB disk to be full soon then a 750GB TM disk is more like what you need.
The same logic applies to a 500GB iMac. If you only expect to use 250GB in the next year or two then a 500GB TM disk should be OK. A 1TB drive will be a lot cheaper next year or the year after.
