Min needed to run my music lib on a Mac Laptop?

I have lost my iTunes music library (including approx 70 CDs of songs, all 65 subscribed podcasts -- worse, which episodes I have listened to and which I haven't -- as well as all my purchased music and about 35 Audiobooks) twice since I loaded iTunes 5 on my Windows XP laptop. When I looked at the Apple site, I noticed very few (if any) troubleshooting recommendations for Apple computers.
So, as a possible remedy, what is the smallest/cheapest laptop I can get that will manage/hold my music collection, Audible books, keep up with my podcasts and sync everything with my iPods?
I am not familiar with the nomenclature of Macs (iBook, Powerbook, G3, G4, etc.) so any information would be appreciated.
I would like to get out of this cheaply (read - buying less than 'state of the art'), but I don't want to 'shoot myself in the foot' when it comes to functionality (i.e. I don't have 30 minutes for the iPod to sync every day because the CPU is a dog).

Any Mac with "book" in it's title - e.g. iBook, PowerBook - is a laptop. iMacs are consumer all-in-one desktop systems, and PowerMacs are tower-type desktop systems. The Mac mini is a very compact system - about the size of seven CD cases in a stack - with a separate monitor.
The smallest and cheapest laptop would the 12" iBook G4. It should be fine for your music collection and will transfer to your iPod quite speedily, particularly if you use Firewire rather than USB.
But not to talk you out of a Mac sale, but if you haven't yet tried iTunes 5.01, you might give it a whirl first. Windows systems are complex beasts with a huge number of variables so it might not help in your particular situation, but it would be worth a try before you spend the cash on a new system (unless you were thinking about a Mac laptop anyway).

Hey Mark,
Well, if money is the biggest thing, then i guess u go for 12" iBook 1.33Ghz....That will cost u $999...though u can also go for a 14" iBook 1.42Ghz....This will cost u $1299...
The major differences will be that u will get a combo drive and a 40Gb hard disk space with the former one, and a super drive along with a 60Gb hard disk space..
See http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70502/wo/Q14bxxP 96X2n3O5sFNC3bfO7kUE/0.0.15.1.0.6.23.1.1.1.0.0.0.1.0..
And i bet u wouldnt like to invest in a powerbook, which starts from $1499..
PS: YOU CAN GET DISCOUNTS TOO...STUDENT DISCOUNT IS THERE, BUT THE LOCAL VENDORS ALSO SOMETIMES GIVE YOU THE WANTED DISCOUNTS..

Question: Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions! If so what would you recommend? Was looking at Sophos. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

Need to run 3 DVI Displays from my Mac Pro

Hello,
I have a 30 inch Display (the first gen, with the DVI connector), an old 23 inch Cinema Display (easel stand), and a 17 inch flat screen display (easel stand). I'd like to hook up all 3 to a Mac Pro. Does anyone have an idea of what graphic cards I might need to do this? I'm currently running all 3 displays on my G5, but I assume those graphic cards won't work in a Mac Pro. Thanks very much.

Well, I guess, you’re talking about one of the the 2009 Quad-Core Mac Pro’s...?
This one comes with the NVIDIA GT 120... (One Mini Display Port / One DVI Port...)
The same applies to the ATI Radeon HD 4870... BTO option...
To connect a 17-, 20- or 23-inch Display to one of the Mini Display Ports you might need the
“Mini Display Port to DVI Adapter”:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1NTE
To connect a 30-inch Display to one of the Mini Display Ports you might need the
“Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter”:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1ODY
Otherwise use the EVGA GTX 285 Mac Edition...
This one comes with “Two Dual-Link DVI Ports...
In any case, one needs Two Graphic Cards to connect Three or Four Displays...
Be aware, one can install either the HD 4870 or GTX 285, both have Two auxiliary power cables...
The GT 120 doesn't have those cables...

More RAM or memory needed to run Windows-- AutoCAD 2010 on my mac?

Hi all,
I have researched for days and have still not been able to find an answer, last time I was here I was thoroughly impressed with the help, so I'm back!
I have a MacBook 5,1, basic model 2 Ghz, 2GB, 65.7 GB free on my hard drive. I run parallels to use Windows XP to use AutoCAD 2010. I borrowed a friends Mac, a larger "better" model and was instantly jealous at the speed his computer was able to do the same tasks my computer takes when I have Windows/AutoCAD running.
So my question is.. would more RAM help with the speed and overall function of my computer? Would more memory help? A combo of both? Also where is a reliable place to purchase what I may need? The best (and most cost effective) advice for my computer would be GREATLY appreciated!
oh, would upgrading to Snow Leopard help as well? I am currently running just Leopard as far as I can tell (10.5.8). Also would this require me to reinstall all programs on my computer?
Thanks in advance,
Laura

The short answer to your question is a resounding YES! RAM and memory are the same thing, but having more of that would most definitely improve your performance at almost everything.
Upgrading to SL may help a little, but not nearly as much as more RAM. I'm not positive, but I think that model maxes out at 4GB, so that should be your goal. If it's 8GB, even better. The more RAM you have, the better things will be with a memory hungry app like AutoCAD.

My old PC blow and I need to get my music into Itunes on new laptop

My old PC blow up and I want to know how to get my Ipod music on my new laptop. I down loaded the new Itunes version and used my ID but none of my stuff is there. I am afraid that if I plug in my Ipod I will loose my music.
How do I transfer the Ipod music into my Itunes?

Don't worry about plugging the iPod into the computer, the first time you do iTunes will say that the iPod is synced with another computer and ask if you want to erase it and sync it with this computer. Click no or its equivalent and don't worry about it.
After that, you can use iTunes to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from your iPod to your new computer. It should be under the File menu.
If you did not buy everything on your iPod at the iTunes Store, take a look here before you transfer just the purchased content, http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumerelectronics/ipodfaq/transfer-copy-songs-ipod-to-computer.html or just google transfer from ipod to computer and select your OS of choice.

What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

Hi jackwyatt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to connect your MacBook Pro to a projector to output the display and sound, the cables and adapters you need will vary depending on the specific model MacBook Pro that you have.
I recommend this page for getting a good idea of which adapters you might need:
About Apple video adapters and cables
Additionally, the tips in this article can also apply to using a projector as a display:

All the best,

Hello,
There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari). They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end. That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today. BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

Help needed to run JSTL 1.1 in Tomcat 6.0.16

Hi All,Help needed to run JSTL 1.1 in Tomcat 6.0.16. I am trying to run the example given in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html The example tries to connect to MySQL database from JSP using JSTL and JNDI Datasource.I am running the example using Eclipse 3.4.2 using Sysdeo plugin to start and stop Tomcat server from Eclipse IDE.
My web.xml file has <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
</web-app>
and test.jsp has proper taglib directives
<%@ taglib prefix="sql" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
I have placed the jstl.jar and standard.jarof the jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.2.zip under E:\Deepa\workspace\DBTest\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib directory also placedcontext.xml file under E:\Deepa\workspace\DBTest\WebContent\META-INF and the content of context.xml is as below

username="deepa" password="mysql" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/javatest?autoReconnect=true"/>
</Context>
Now while running the example, Eclipse creates one DBTest.xml file under C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\conf\Catalina\localhost
which has the following line:
<Context path="/DBTest" reloadable="true" docBase="E:\Deepa\workspace\DBTest" workDir="E:\Deepa\workspace\DBTest\work" />

When running the same example, by creating a local server in Eclipse(creating new Server connection pointing to same Tomcat 6.0 installation) it runs fine without any error.

Hi evnafets,
Wow, very helpful information, great insight into working of Eclipse. Thanks a lot.
I have one more question. I have a context.xml file under {color:#0000ff}E:\Deepa\workspace\DBTest\WebContent\META-INF{color} folder and that has the Resource element to connect to MySQL database:
{code{color:#000000}}{color}<Context path="/DBTest" docBase="DBTest" debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">

{color:#0000ff}url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/javatest?autoReconnect=true"/>{color}
{color:#0000ff}</Context>{color}As usual when running application in local Tomcat server of Eclipse, this data source works fine. But when I run the application on Tomcat, by starting Sysdeo plugin from Eclipse, the DBTest.xml file created in C:\Tomcat 6.0\conf\Catalina\localhost has the context entry as<Context path="/DBTest" reloadable="true" docBase="E:\Deepa\workspace\DBTest\WebContent" workDir="E:\Deepa\workspace\DBTest\work">
</Context>The<Resource> element I have specified in the context.xml of \WebContent\META-INF folder is not taken into account by Tomcat and it gives the following error:May 21, 2009 5:20:04 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke

Hi friends,
i need to run a package which will send a mail as soon after it runned. I have a package. But i need to run that package for each and every 10 min in a day. For that how i can create a job to execute that package.
As a result of the job for each and every 10 min ill be receiving a mail. How to create a job to execute my package for every 10 min.
Regards,

Hi srikanth and hoek,
Thanks for your reply.
i dont know why the job is not running and executing the package.
if i compiled the package separately means, i can able to execute it successfully and also im receiving mails correspondingly.
begin
it_check_overdue_issues.email_overdue;
end;But if i tried to execute the above package using a job means, it is not running corresponding to the time and also not receiving emails. This is my DBMS_JOB query that i used, it is compiling successfully without errors, but not working what is wrong with it.
DECLARE
    jobno number;
BEGIN
    DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(
        job => jobno,
        what => 'BEGIN it_check_overdue_issues.email_overdue; END;',
        next_date => SYSDATE,
        interval => 'SYSDATE + (2/1440)');
    COMMIT;
END;Regards,

anything you have PURCHASED with itunes you will be able to move simply by plugging your phone/ipad/ipod into the new computer, and selecting "transfer purchases" with itunes.
Everything else, you will need a thumb drive or SD card for.
