ISO good looking/sounding webcam for my aging 800 MHz G4 Ti Book

Hello,
I'm looking for a good webcam for my aging G4 Ti Book. Currently running 10.4.9.
I googled the web this morning and found that the original iSight camera was thought to be really good looking and sounding when it first came out, but that was a few years ago.
Does anyone have any info on clip on cameras that would work with iSight and iChat that would be as good or better than the original camera?
Thanks,
Ty Ford

The info there regarding Mac Pro applies equally to your TiPowerBook.

Can someone recommend me a good creative sound card for listening to music

Hi all,
I am thinking to buy a Creative sound card for my new PC.
I have browsed the Creative web site but found out that there are just too many options for me to choose from, like X-FI, e-MuRecon3D Fatal1ty Champion, Recon3D PCIe, E-MU 1212M PCIe.
I have no idea which one is the best for me since I like listening to music.
Please give me some advice.
Thanks
Kitty.

It's ultimately going to depend on how particular you are, and what output you're going to be using.
Arguably the X-Fi Titanium HD will give the clearest output of the whole lot. A measurable 122dB SNR means you'll basically have to turn it up to the threshold of pain before you'll hear any noise produced by the card itself. That doesn't mean there won't be any noise at all in the output - just that the card realistically won't add any that didn't already exist in the source material. Further to this, when run in Entertainment mode you'll also have access to the THX enhancements over the standard Creative ones, which I personally find to be substantially better in actual listening. The EMI shield and changeable op-amps are just gravy.
Of course, there's always fine print. The 122dB SNR only applies to the front outputs, for example. That's not to say the rest aren't very good - they're rated at between 115dB and 118dB - just that they aren't as good. Odds are you won't really care but its still worth mentioning. The other major limitation (in my opinion) is the absence of a good headphone pre-amplifier, but that may or may not be a non-issue depending on whether you use headphones or already have an external one (or, like me, you feel inclined to make your own to solve that limitation).
The other good option would be the Recon3D. I wouldn't bother going with any of the upper market ones for music (or for any reason, for that matter) unless the front drive bay or directional microphone are of any particular importance to you (NB I bought the Fatal1ty Champion edition - still not entirely sure why). An argument could be made for the EMI shield, but with so few components on the board it probably isn't stopping a whole heap of noise anyway over the miniature "shield" on the SPU itself. When compared in raw specs to the Titanium HD, at a glance it would appear to be vastly inferior - 102dB SNR ratio (albeit constant across all outputs) is quite a bit lower, after all.
However, it's important to keep in mind exactly what that means. 102dB SNR still means you'll have to turn the volume up quite a bit to get any extra noise added to your output. You're talking around the volume of a power saw at a little over 3 feet, so realistically it's quite loud - and it's over the level which is generally considered to cause hearing loss with sustained exposure (95dB). You also have to remember that this doesn't apply to the S/PDIF outputs (nor does the HD's 122dB) since they're entirely at the mercy of whatever decoder you're using, so if you're using that output than the extra expense of the HD is pretty much entirely wasted. And, as a major plus, all Recon3D cards have what seems to be a pretty decent headphone pre-amp, which makes a very appreciable difference in listening, as well as supporting the various THX enhancements.
The short version:
- If you're listening mostly via stereo analogue speakers, get the Titanium HD.
- If you're listening mostly via headphones, get the Recon3D (I personally think the pre-amp is better than the higher SNR).
- If you're listening mostly via S/PDIF to an external amp, it doesn't matter (but get the Recon3D because it's cheaper).

Wiping a hard drive for a iBook (800 MHz 32 VRAM)

i recently purchased a iBook (800 MHz 32 VRAM) off ebay, and i need to wipe the hard drive, but i didnt receive any of the boot up discs.
anyone have any advise?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You could call the Apple Store (1-800-MYAPPLE) with the serial number. Apple should be able to provide you with a replacement set for a fee.
Good luck!

Need a good looking Terminal font for small text (10 pixel)

*Update* look last post...
Hello.. i have a bit of a hard time, getting urxvt use a different color for intense coloring.
See this screenshot to know what i mean:
As you can see, Konsole shows a different color for intensity, where urxvt simply uses the foreground color.
Question: Can urxvt be configured to act the way konsole does? Chatting is not the same without this...

For crisp fonts make sure you don't set the font size in pixels, like so…
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=10
Instead do it like this…
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-7
It's subtle but I have found it always gives clearer results.
Where did you learn about the -NUM for font size? I just tried it and I like the results, but I didn't see it in the manpage.

Anyone find a good looking Terminal app for retina MBPs?

When I compare the appearance of Terminal fonts on the rMBP to non-retina MBPs or the MBA I actually prefer the look on the latter, because retina scaling means the display is always doing the equivalent of anti-aliasing the fonts. This makes the resulting fonts fatter and bolder on retina displays, actually making the text somewhat fuzzier and more difficult to read than the razor-sharp display of Terminal windows on non-retina displays.
Has anyone found a way around this, or is fat "bold"-looking Terminal window text just a necessary consequence of the retina display drivers not mapping one font pixel to one on-screen dot at anything other than (non-Apple supported) 1:1 resolution?
Here's what I mean by razor sharp non-retina Terminal display, taken from a 13" MBA:
Simulated retina looking Terminal window generated by anti-aliasing:
Is iTerm2 any better at this?

To answer my own question, it appears iTerm2 is capable of producing nice, sharp Terminal window text when antialiasing is shut off where toggling it seems to have no apparent effect in OS X's Terminal.app. :(

Best webcam for Mac mini core solo?

What is the best webcam to use for my Mac Mini with an older display - is MacAlly icecam 2 sufficient? and i'm still on 10.4.11. Many thanks for your kind responses.

I've been looking into webcams for my mini and have noticed that some webcams whilst the video works, the sound doesn't. I have an old webcam which my wife uses on our windows box, and I got it working on my mac using the Macam drivers http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ The only problem was that the microphone wasn't supported, a recurring trend!! From my investigations the Logitech Quick Cam Vision Pro for Mac seems to be the best available, but it is a bit expensive £89.99 here in the UK.

Q: Best webcam for Mac SnowLeopard

Can anyone tell me the best WebCam, with Microphone, to use for the LCCS stuff.
Thanks.

For good quality sound in iPod.

Hello:
I'd like to know which way is better to keep a good quality on the iPod. Many people goes for the mp3, OK, compatible with a lot of devices in the world, a lot of songs in a CD or card, easy way, but WHAT ABOUT THE QUALITY???
AAC at 128 is good, I know. For many users better than an mp3 file at 160.
I ask what is better or doesn't matter:
1. All my library (My Music) are in mp3 at 192 vbr. All of them are imported from original CDs. Even so, these songs aound with distorsions, maybe because of the compression. In the laptop and in the iPod.
This distorsion sounds like a wave, as if somebody is playing with any equalizer button moving from left to right
2. If an mp3 file (encoded and imported from an original CD of music) is converted to WAV or Apple lost less, will improve the quality? I mean, I wonder if a compressed file (mp3) could "go back" to an "uncompressed" statement? Or is better to import and encode again from the original CDs to a WAV or Apple lost less formats?
I make the comparison with the video formats. If a DVD is copied to a VHS, the VHS tape will get excellent quality, but if the VHS content is coppied to a DVD, "this DVD will continue being VHS"...
In my discman, the songs sound excellent (compilated CDs) and sometimes I think that the iPod is so sensitive, so good that captures "and enhance" the audio noises or deffects from the CDs.
Thks 4 your help.

mariocarnival,
Your VHS-DVD analogy is accurate. Once your music has been encoded in a "lossy" format (mp3 or aac) you're not going to be able to get any fidelity back by converting those files to a higher quality.
For some other thoughts, have a look at Jeff Bryan's post .
If any of your questions remain unanswered, post back.

Looking for a good movie maker app for iPad 1

Hi Everybody-
I am looking for a good Photo/Movie maker for the iPad 1. Something that I can add Photos/Movies together and add some songs and have editing capabilities for all of it and possiabily export it as well to my PC to burn to DVD/CD.
So if anybody can give my recomondations, I'd really appriciate it.There some good ones, but not for the iPad 1. So I wanted to get all of your suggestions so I can narrow down my search. Please let me know if you need further information as well.
Thanks so much for your time.
Sincerely- Douglas

There are no movie maker apps in the App Store that will work well on the iPad 1, it just doesn't have enough RAM. If you read the reviews for the Avid app in the App Store everyone with an iPad 1 is complaining about it. iMovie, as you probably already knew, does not have a version for the iPad 1.
Wait for the iPad 3 and then set about making movies, the 1 (which I also have) just does not have the horsepower for what you want to do.

Looking for a good antivirus/antimalware app for iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2

As the subject implies, I'm Looking for a good antivirus/antimalware app for iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2. Don't care if it costs $$ just want something that works. I've been searching around and installed a couple things but they don't seem to be what I was expecting. Thought I'd find out what others are using.

Sadly, spoofing doesn't really require much hacking, All a spammer would need to use your email address for spoofing would be your email address. If it's also being sent to your contacts, your email account may well have been hacked. But that would have happened on the server level. Your phone wouldn't have been involved. Unfortunately, once the miscreants have your contact list, changing your password will not get that back. Changing the password to something strong may help prevent future misuse.
Best of luck.

I want to buy a sound bar for my tv but want one that connects wirelessly to my apple tv, all the sound bars i have looked at do not mention this any recomendations ?

I want to buy a sound bar for my samsung tv that connects wirelessly to my apple tv so that i can listen to music through the sound bar. Are there any sound bars out there that can do this ?

I do believe that the ability for your Apple TV to airplay audio to external devices was added just in the most recent update, that was released when iOS 6 was released if I'm correct, so there might not be any that specifically mention that yet.
Since it uses AirPlay I'd assume any AirPlay compatible speaker would work, but I would look into it more before spending your money, just in case.

I am looking for a good Call Blocking App for my iPhone 5...any suggestions??

I am in need of a good call blocking app for iPhone....please any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

As Randy Landry1 says, Google for "silent ringtone", download and install on you iPhone as a ringtone.
Now create a contact for the offending phone number. Assign the contact to the silent ringtone and set no vibrate.
When that number calls it will not ring, nor vibrate. It will light up the screen, but if you do not see that, it will not bother you. They could leave voice mail, but that is easily deleted.
And if it is a situation where the are violating the do not call list, you can use the missed call log to report the number to the FTC.
Also, if the calls are abusive or threading, and the leave a voice mail, you something to show the police.
