How do I use .smi or .ima?

I just got an old PowerPC 4400/200 from my aunt.
I'm brand new to the Mac world, and know very little about how all this works.
I need to install drivers for my ethernet card, those files are in the .ima.
Disk Copy, which I think opens the .ima file, is in a .smi file.
The computer tries opening the .smi file with quicktime.
All in short:
How do I use .smi, or .ima files?
Is it messed up pretty bad or what? :P
Sorry if this has been asked a lot...
Power PC 4400/200 Mac OS 9.0.x

Hi, große geld -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
A .smi file should not need assistance in opening - ".smi" stands for Self-Mounting Image. When double-clicked, a disk image should be mounted on the right side of the desktop.
Things that can interfere with that working the way it should -
• Stuffit Expander has ShrinkWrap technology built-in, which allows it to mount some kinds of disk images - but not .smi ones. Yet ShrinkWrap often tries to mount a .smi image, which it can not do.
The solution for that - double-click Stuffit Expander, and open its Preferences (under the File menu). Select "Disk Images" from the list on the left, then turn off "Mount Disk Images". Quit Stuffit Expander.
• The desktop file is out of kilter, too bloated, or damaged.
The solution for that is to rebuild the desktop file. To rebuild the desktop safely, restart - immediately hold down the Shift key until you get the "Extensions Off" message; then release Shift and hold down the Command and Option keys until you get the splash screen asking if you want to rebuild the desktop; click yes (or okay). Once that's done, restart to turn your extensions back on.
• File Exchnage is interfering somehow.
Open File Exchange control panel and check the entries on the File Translation tab - be sure that the Disk Image file type has not been linked to QuickTime. If it has, remove it.
If you have an OS 9 Install CD of any kind - Software Install, Software Restore, or retail OS 9 Install (white label) - or any version...
Insert the CD (no need to boot to it). Look in the Utilities folder on the CD - you should find a folder named Disk Copy. In that folder will be an uncompressed copy of Disk Copy. Copy that to your hard drive (just drag its icon to the icon of the hard drive and let go). After Finder copies it to the hard drive it should be usable immediately.

How do I use Edge Web Fonts with Muse?

How do I use Edge Web Fonts with Muse - is it an update to load, a stand alone, how does it interface with Muse? I've updated to CC but have no info on this.

Hello,
Is there a reason why you want to use Edge Web Fonts with Adobe Muse?
Assuming you wish to improve typography of your web pages, you should know that Muse is fully integrated with Typekit. This allows you to access and apply over 500 web fonts from within Muse. Here's how you do it:
Select a text component within Muse, and click the Text drop-down.
Select Add Web Fonts option, to pop-open the Add Web Fonts dialog.
Browse and apply fonts per your design needs.
Muse also allows you to create paragraph styles that you can save and apply to chunks of text, a la InDesign. Watch this video for more information: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/using-typekit-with-adobe-muse/
Also take a look at these help files to see if they help you:

How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups with the keyboard?

Yes I know that CTRL-SHIFT-E opens the panorama window, and then I can use the mouse to organize my tabs into groups.
But how do I do this with the keyboard?
I've [http://lifehacker.com/#!5719596/switch-between-tab-groups-in-firefox-with-a-keyboard-shortcut read] [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705714 that] Ctrl-`should move me through tab groups. That doesn't work for me on my Danish keyboard. (Where the ' and ` chars are weird. But is how they are on a valid standard Danish keyboard) I've tried changing the keyboard to USA and then moving through tab groups works fine.
In short: Pretend I don't have a mouse. How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups?

Sorry. These are both known bugs:

How do I use my Time Capsule with hotel wired internet

How do I use my Time Capsule as a wireless router on my hotel free internet ethernet cable?

It may not be possible..
If they use a web access page, then there is no way you can set the TC to authenticate.. you must use the computer to authenticate and then use the computer to bridge to the TC for wireless clients to access.
Look up instructions on using ICS (internet connection sharing) in the Mac.
eg for 10.6.8 http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6589
eg http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740
Of course if there is no login then you could just use it.. but I doubt you would be asking if it just worked.

How do i use my own image with keying (or green screen)

how do i use my own image witrh keying (or green screen)

Put your sky clip on a layer below the clip you want to key. One or the other will be a connected clip. Apply the Keying filter to foreground clip (the one with the green screen). The green will be seen as transparent and the sky will show through as the BG. Adjust as necessary in the Inspector.
Good luck.

How do I use ipod 5th classic with new itunes

how do I use my old ipod classic 5th generation with the latest itunes software?

The same way as before...
If the new look of iTunes is confusing, it may look more familiar to you if you show the sidebar. It is hidden by default to streamline the look and feel.
From the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. With the sidebar not hidden, iTunes mostly works like it did before.

How do I use my airport extreme with my FIOS router?

How do I use my AirPort Extreme base station with my FIOS Router to extend my network? I have hard disks connected to my AirPort Extreme and would lik to access them.

Probably can't answer all your questions - but.... I use a Linksys (wired and wireless) router as my primary entry point for FIOS. I use a Time Capsule and an Airport Express as a common wireless connection. So I have two visibile wireless networks and use them both depending on where I am in the house. Both the TC and AEx can be seen either wirelessly or wired from the entire network. Note - the Linksys provides all the DHCP - you set the apple routers as "bridge mode."

How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac?

How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac? I just bought this webcam on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJE0ISS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1 and I want to use it with my mac. Is there an adapter or any software to make it compatible? Thanks.

Your amazon link states, in part, that this webcam is:
Compatible with Microsoft Windows 7,Vista, XP, 2000
Use a Mac OS X Compatible Webcam like one of those shown in the linked article instead.
For best compatibility and security, also update your OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) to the current OS X version by restarting Mac and then downloading and installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
