Is Extigy too outdated n

I currently have an Audigy() But would really like to have the space back in my case that the break-out box takes up. Im also running the 5. speakers from creative. Sounds really nice and lush with XP. Not as good with Vista though.
Anyway I have an old Extigy around somewhere from when they first came out(was there only one?) I remember it was quite buggy back then and didnt use it very long but that was also on 98.
So would it be a real step backwards to use the Extigy from the Audigy that Im pretty happy with.
The other option is to just make the break-out box external. Which isnt totally out of the question I suppose.

If you're going to just listen to music and watch movies, then the Extigy would be fine. If you're going to play games, the Extigy's performance is poor due to the limitations of bandwidth on the USB line.

I can't put music on my new iPod Touch (4g) because my iMac is too outdated for the newest iTunes. Help?

I want to put music on my 'new' (Christmas 2012) iPod Touch 4g but iTunes won't let me. When I try to update iTunes it says my computer (OS X 10.5.8) is too outdated. Is there any way I can put music on my iPod without paying to update my iMac?

Try installing iTunes 10.6.3. If that doesn't work, you'll either have to upgrade the computer's OS(if possible) or redownload the music directly from the iTunes Store; in the case of content which didn't originally come from it, this requires signing up for iTunes Match.

I'm using a 2007 MacBook Pro and having a problem updating to IOS 6. Is this possible on my device or is my computer too outdated for the IOS 6 update?

I aquired my used MacBook Pro when entering college three years ago. When the IOS 7 iphone update came out yesterday I updated my iphone. After the update I attempted to sync my iphone to itunes on my MacBook Pro. When attempting to do this I recieved a pop-up that stated I would not be able to sync my iphone with IOS 7 to itunes until I downloaded itunes version 11.
I then visited the itunes site to download this version of itunes. When attempting the update, I recived a pop-up that stated I was unable to download this version of itunes because my MacBook Pro does not have IOS 6 installed.
I am not sure how to install IOS 6 or if my computer is able to update to IOS 6 since it was made in 2007. I occasionally have difficulties updating other programs because my computer is outdated and I was wondering if IOS 6 is the same.
Thanks for your help.

It sounds like it is not allowing you to install the newest version of iTunes because you do not have OSX 10.6.8 installed. Click on the  -> About This Mac and check the version number. If it is anything less than 10.6 you need to purchase Snow Leopard from Apple.

A way to use G network devices with 5ghz 'N' network devices?

Hi guys,
I recently setup my new Airport Extreme in 5ghz 'N" mode - it shares a hard drive with all my Macs, and it streams large movies (some HD) to Macs, and to my Apple TV. I love the pure 5ghz N mode for its speed - it enables me to get the same internet speed result tests on my MBP from my 24meg ADSL connection i got when wired directly to the modem (the wireless G modem the company sent out halfed the speed i could get via a wired connection!)
Anyway, of course the down side to this is no 'G' network clients cna join the 'N' network, which means my old 2.5ghz G5 is too outdated, our iPhones dont support it and i cant share the printer with my newer macs wirelessly with my 'G' only Airport Express.
So my iPhone could connect to the net i left the wireless router my broadband supplier sent me in G mode - and it connects to my Airport Extreme very simply via ethernet.
Of couse this doesn't solve My G5, allow my iPhone to work as a remote for Macbook/Apple TV or share my printer...is there anyway possible with my airport express to set up a wireless 'G' network which can somehow "talk" to the 'N' network if i wire them together via ethernet?
Id imagine this is a long shot with regards to Apple remote functionality but i dont want to lose the pure 'N' speed i need, and i would like to use apple remote and obvioulsy be able to print to my printer without having to disconnect the N network and join the G network.
So anyway in bridge mode the airport express can talk to the airport extreme and run two seperate speed wifi networks?

So anyway in bridge mode the airport express can talk to the airport extreme and run two seperate speed wifi networks?
Yes, this is known as a "Dual Band" network.
Setting up a "dual band" network is described in the Designing AirPort Networks document, starting on page 48.

Deleting Thumbnails

I had to reinstall my OS after finding Snow Leopard slowed my system to a crawl. I have copies of my iPhoto libraries in several places and multiple duplicates, including duplicates of thumbnails, which I would like to pare down to save space. I'm spending quite some time going through my library to get rid of duplicate photos and would certainly like to get rid of unnecessary thumbnails, as well. Is there any downside to this? Can I just do a rebuild after I've cleaned out my stash?

...and yet another question...or maybe more. If I'm using both windows and mac, and I'm doing backups as you suggested, how would I access the images from my windows machine? Someone suggested exploring an online service like DropBox - what are your thoughts on that?
Background info: I was using windows for photo editing as I had PSE on that machine, and had done a lot of scanning and storing of my family's very old photos, as well as taking thousands of sports action photos during my daughter's activities. I now have PSE for my mac (not yet installed since the reinstallation of Leopard - want to get the hard drive and duplicate photos cleaned up before installing)and would probably do my editing on the mac, but not all those photos (scanned and otherwise)are on my mac yet, and some cannot be directly transferred as the external hard drive is windows formatted and won't interact with my MBP. I was thinking that if I used an online service, I could consolidate the photo files from both platforms, although I will still have to do some major duplicate destruction on the files stored via windows.
Yes, I'm obviously anal about redundancy with duplicates on both platforms (I require internet access for work and have two sources of internet access, as well - cable and DSL - not a big risk taker...). Since I'm not very computer literate beyond working with programs, I don't necessarily understand the ramifications of past formatting decisions and now have to live with the consequences.
Lots of rambling, sorry. Just grateful to have access to expertise. So, anyway, my questions are:
-How to access windows formatted hard drive photo files from my mac;
-if I will be using PSE, do I want to import photos into iPhoto at all;
-will photos imported into iPhoto be accessible to PSE;
-your opinion on internet storage;
-recommendations on external hard drives I could use to make backups (considering using Super Duper) with the intention of using two different drives, taking one in to work to safely store in case of disaster and one at home, then intermittently switching them out so the remote one doesn't get too outdated.
Redundancy, redundancy.
Again, thanks.

Contacts and Calendar not sync'ing with Outlook 2010

All was fine today until (maybe coincidental - maybe not) I had a Microsoft Exchange email account added to my Outlook 2010. I have an iPhone 4, and I usually sync daily, especially when calendar or contact changes take place. I am currently not using the icloud, so all contacts and calendar events would be way too outdated.
I have checked my Outlook settings under "info" and cannot get my contacts and address to load. I even see the "Contacts syncing"..."calendar sync'ing" when the overall iTunes sync takes place with my iPhone.

HELP!!!!!! MY IPOD TOUCH WON'T TURN ON OR CONNECT TO THE COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!

boxa little bit of My ipod's backlight has been going off at random moments. If I locked it for a few moments then unlicked it then it would be fine, or sometimes I would have to charge it. Recently, when this happened, after locking it, it did not fix itself, so after locking it a second time, I tried to unlock it but nothing happened. I tried to charge it and nothing has worked. It doesn't even connect to my computer (Windows XP). It is a very old iPod touch. 2nd Gen, 8gb. iOS is I think less than 4, although it could be iOS 4.2.1 because it wouldn't let me update. It's been dropped quite a few times but that never really did much damage except for a dent in the outer shell. I had no case, it was my friend's old one, and I could not buy one because it was too outdated. The only liquid that has gotten on it is hairspray, and it was just spray from when I was doing my hair. I don't know what to do, and I had no warranty, I don't have the origional box, and I don't have the reciept. Also, I do not want to have to send it in and pay any money, because I don't even have enough money to get a phone plan, and that comes first.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Which iPad should I purchase? Ipad air 1 or 2?

Hey guys! I'm wanting to purchase a iPad for school next year (uni), and am debating over which iPad Air version to purchase. I'd like an iPad mainly to do my school work (type notes, look at pdfs, highlight textbook pages, etc), as well as browse the internet, use apps (like facebook, twitter, youtube, email etc) and watch movies. I originally was going to purchase the air 2, but after browsing a few forums, I noticed quite a few people complaining about it (vibration issues, screen distortion, battery, etc). Considering the price, I'm now a bit hesitant in purchasing it.
Which I guess leads me to the iPad air 1. From what I understand, it seems to do the same job as the iPad air 2, but just without those issues (and for a cheaper price!)? I noticed that a few people were talking about safari reloading, but I don't use more than 2-3 tabs at a time generally, so I would assume that wouldn't be an issue? My only problem is that I'm worried it might be too slow compared to the iPad air 2's chip and ram, and is already too 'outdated'.
I'm really hoping whatever iPad I purchase will last me at least a good 2-3 years (I know that might be asking too much!) and will be of good quality; I know products are always bound to have flaws, etc, but I'm hoping to pick the one of with the least amount, and something that will last me.
I guess my question is what everyone else's experiences have been with their air 2 so far? Do you like it, prefer it over the air 1, prefer the build quality, don't like it, waste of money, etc.
I've never owned an iPad, but currently have a nexus 7 tablet that I'm hoping to replace. I found the nexus too small when writing notes and didn't really like using keyboard folios with it; which is why I don't really want to purchase any iPad Minis.
Any help is appreciated!
edit- I apologise if this is in the wrong place!

The biggest issue between the 1 and 2 is that all devices eventually age out of software updates. For example the iPad 1 maxed out at iOS 5.1.1, only the Touch 5 was eligible for iOS8 and I think only iPhones 4+ could get iOS8. So eventually, if you get a 1 you may face maxing out of the iOS updates before the two.
That said, even if your device maxes out it'll still run just fine as it is. You may just face issues with future apps....so say my iPad maxes out in December. In February a really cool game comes out and I want it... but wait, it's for the newer iOS and won't install on mine. If you're aware of the issue and accept the issue, there's no reason you can have a fully functioning older device.
And if the 1 is more stable than the 2, even better. I've been very lucky with my iPad 2 to have it be a very stable and dependable model while later models do seem to have had issues.

Windows Vista and HP Laserjet 6P--installed software but can't print. Item stuck in queue

I have found plenty of answers to my problem relating to Windows 7 but not for Vista.
I picked up a used HP Laserjet 6P which is supposed to be in working order.
I attached the printer with a parallel port-USB adapter and installed the software using the HP Wizard. All looked good but when I go to print, the page stays in queue and the printer windows say Error.
I tried using the HP diagnostic tool but it can't detect the Laserjet 6P.
I tried setting up via a different USB port (USB001 Virtual Port) and creating a new one (Standard TCP/IP Port) but neither worked.
Any idea how I can make this work or is is just too outdated?
Thank you

Hi @harleywish
I wonder if the issue might be related to the print spooler rather than a port. Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.

Upgrading Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0 Ram/Video Card/Hard Drives

Hi there,
Ok so I am an avid Mac user, but have neglected one of my machines lately. This old Power Mac G5 just pushed the 3 year mark and I had a bunch of repairs done to it (New Logic Board, Hard Drive, Power Supply) before the Apple Care ran out. I used to do all of my editing and stuff on it but haven't had time this past year so it has just sat here and not gotten any use. I felt as if it was time to get back in the game so I picked up another Apple 20" monitor, some M-Audio studio monitors, a 11" Wacom, but feel the machine is too outdated to do anything.
Ok first off, I am looking to upgrade from the four 256 sticks (1GB) that I have in my computer with some 2 2GB kits (1GB x 2) (4GB total) and have been looking at the ram that Crucial suggests for this machine (8 Slots). Is there anything that I should look for in ram that will help me get through all of my 3D motion design faster (HD Final Cut too). I don't know a lot about ram when it comes to buffers and such, just how to buy compatible ram. Any suggestions?
Second I am looking to upgrade my video card. I currently have the GeForce FX 5200 with 64 MB of VRAM, which is completely unacceptable. I am looking for a card that can handle all of my motion work along with rendering in Final Cut, something with 256MB of VRAM or more.. I want something that has 2 DVI connections so I don't need an adapter like I currently do with this card to hook up both Apple displays. Suggestions?
Lastly I am looking to up my storage space on this beast. I currently have a brand new 160GB main HDD (Courtesy Apple Care) and a 250GB Maxtor internally. I would really like to have at least a TB of storage. My question is wether I should just keep the 160 for the main boot up drive and apps along with minimum documents to keep the speeds faster, and get a 500 internal and 500 exclosure, or get two 500's for internal?

Hi-
With RAM, fancy isn't necessary, compatible is. Buffers aren't supported, so stick with the recommended memory. Memory should be 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs that are 2.5 volt, unbuffered, 8-byte, nonparity, and DDR400-compliant (PC3200).
Important: DIMMs with any of the following features are not supported in the Power Mac G5 computer: registers or buffers, PLLs, ECC, parity, or EDO RAM.
For two DVI outputs, and the power to run your software, the only choices are the Geforce 6800GT and the Geforce 6800 Ultra. For a bit less money, but requires an ADC to DVI adapter for second DVI, the Radeon X800XT will help with the softwares needs. These benchmarks will help you see the performance of the cards.
For storage, the 160gb will work for OS and applications, but you might as well add two 500gb-750gb drives. The new, enterprise drives have great performance, and though larger, will most probably work faster as a startup drive than the 160gb drive. These benchmarks are from a Mac Pro test, but the results illustrate the speed of the larger drives.
The Western Digital SE16 series, or the Seagate ES series offer excellent performance and reliability. See Storage Reviews. For a 1tb drive, see this article.
Of course, whatever you install, add enough external for full backup capabilities.

I have Mac 0S 10.5.8 and it won't let me download Mac OS 10.6.8, What do I do to be able to get this new update?

I downloaded the new update on my Iphone. When I plugged it into my computer it wouldn't let me sync because my computer didn't have an updated i-tunes version. When I tried to update Itunes, it said I needed Mac OS 10.6.6 or higher. Then when I tried to download that it said I needed 10.6 or higher to download that...so...what do I do...Is my computer too outdated?

10.6. is available for sale on DVD, ONLY through the online store and leftovers from other sellers (not local Apple stores).
But since the launch of 10.8 Mountain Lion, it has been "put away" and you must CALL the Apple Online Store support line and they can arrange to sell it to you.
When you get it updated to at least 10.6.6, the MacApp Store will appear. But 10.7 is also "put away" and you will need to call again to buy that, if you want it, probably by download using a special code they will sell you.

How do i install the new mac app store

I did my software update like the apple website instructed but the mac app store is still not popping up. I also checked my applications under finder and found the same result. Is there a way to get the mac app store on my 2008 macbook or is my model too outdated to support the mac app store? Thank you for all responses!
-applelover14723

If your signature profile is correct, you are on Leopard (10.5) which means you will have to buy Snow Leopard (10.6) - widely available for $29. Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements; if it does and you install it, you can then update to 10.6.6 which is the update that included the app store.

Opening .NEF files in PS3 on Windows XP

I cannot open my .NEF images in my PS3 that I took on my Nikon D7000. I am trying to convert them to .jpeg and I have tried to open them in Bridge and I have also tried to convert them to .jpeg through tutorials I have found telling me to use the image processor tool in Photoshop. I cannot even see/view the images in Bridge and when I go to convert them to .jpeg, it tells me it cannot be done. I am new with shooting in raw and I have always shot in .jpeg, so this is all so new to me. I am not sure if all of my programs are way too outdated to be able to do this, including my operating system (Windows XP). Shouldn't it be possible for me to open these images and convert them to jpegs? Is there an update I need to download, or something, to make this work? PLEASE HELP!

Thank you for your reply.
I i can drag & drop a website from Firefox on Mac onto my desktop and reopen it in Firefox in Mac AND Safari Browser, why i cannot open them in Firefox on Windows.
I can drag and drop URLs from Firefox on Windows and reopen them
So what's so wrong about adding support for these kinda files making them work vice versa?
I'm working this way because it's easier and faster and more organized for many reasons when exchaning URLs.
Reason 1.: (keep things organized and in focus)
If i send somone many many web documents (research), there is much more information at first sight, rather than copy pasting the URLs itself plus having to add a description to every URL.
For example this particular page here where we are on it describes itself in the web document name:
''' opening .webloc files in Firefox on Windows Firefox Support Forum Firefox Support'''
read it > double klick > open in browser tab > done
or else
'''https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/761091'''
if converted to text only (e-mail, etc.) then i have to > mark url > copy/paste > add in browser.
Understandable?
But, hey, there is no reason for a reason because there are so many reasons. Fact is that a file which was created from Firefox should work Cross Plattform.
Or du you think i will stay with the external "webloc2url" Perl Script Application forever dragging webloc files from FF on Mac one by one?
If there is a single person who can write a Perl Script application converting/re-writing webloc files to correct URLs and open them without the hassle, why a company like mozilla can't do implement the code into FF?
Go and Google all the complaints about webloc files from Mac.
I mean, ehm ...
