Need advice on importing for quality since Lame won't work on itunes 7

I had been using Lame to import CDs. It would record at a variable rate based on the music and made really good sounding recordings to iTunes.
Since I updated iTunes to v.7.3, Lame no longer works and is now available only as source code (let me admit that I have no idea how to compile the code for OS X).
So I'm open for suggestion on what setting to use to import music for best playback quality while taking the least hard drive space.
Thanks.
iMac G5,160GB, 1.5GB,SD,Airport Extreme,BT Mac OS X (10.4.10) also Mac Mini, iBook, iPod 30GB

If you want to download and install LAME, you can find it here. There are some basic instructions for compiling it here.
I have compiled LAME many times on OS X, but now I just use the precompiled version included with Max.

I’m going to get the I Mac and since the new I Mac doesn’t have DVD drive on it I was thinking to get the Samsung SE-506AB Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer in order to burn movies from I movie do I need a special software for that since the SE-506ab comes only with windows software.. but I did check and it is compatible with apple. Can you please advise me and or let me know if I’m buying the right stuff or if there is any other blu ray that will work with the I mac as plug and play.
Thank you

This freezing reminds me of really old Macs, long ago, in the days of the old-school peripherals like SCSI drives, terminators, scanners and the like. If you had a SCSI conflict, like the wrong device ID's or something, you'd freeze up like that. Back in those days you'd call 800-SOS-APPLE (AAPL?) and they'd run you through disconnecting all your extra hardware - Jaz and Zip drives, CD burners, scanners etc and then eliminate them one by one by adding them incrementally and testing for the freeze/bomb dialog.
But, today we have Firewire and none of those ancient issues (no free lifetime tech support either). My iMac's ports are all full, and I only know which devices are connected when I have to remove something for another device. iSight, scanner, card reader, external hard drive, USB soundsticks, etc. You wouldn't happen to have any SCSI devices hooked up, would you?
Out of curiosity, have you tried a different USB/Firewire port for the hard drive? Or run the hardware test DVD that comes with your computer? This weird freezing seems to suggest a problem with the computer, RAM or network more than a device. Bad devices, in my experience, cause kernel panics, not freezing.

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

Hello,
I have paid for this service for a year and it never worked on my computer. I just renewed and it finally converted the file but it will not let me edit it. I join you in being bummed. Either I get help with this or I am asking for a 2 year refund. My intention was to be able to edit a pdf in MS Word.

Dear Apple...I know time marches on but unfortunately you have become useless to those of us who can't upgrade systems or afford Iphones. So my itunes is totally unavailalbe since ipods can't work w/Itunes 9, so all the $ I spent is out the window! I have been an apple mac user since the Blue Tower in early 2000. The fact that I recently replace a stolen Ipod Classic and it isn't compatible w/iTunes9 is really screwed up. You have failed many!

What is your question?

I've tried updating iTunes for Windows but it won't work. I removed iTunes and downloaded the new version (10.6.1.7) but it won't load. It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.

Need advice in importing analog vinyl records

My wife has asked me to try to import a couple of her childhood Christmas albums into iTunes (so we can burn CDs). I have reasonably computer and audio savvy, but I can't seem to get a foothold to figure out how to approach this. I have read all posts here twice. I so far have not been able to record any audio on my computer..so first issue is not quality but just basic input.
Here is my background. I have an old turntable (with red and white RCA outputs). I don't have a pre-amp, but do have newer receiver with most all ouputs. For software, I have Garageband, Roxio Toast 5 (for OS 9), and Audacity. None of these have decent enough "help" functions, although I have read each several times.
I think my core issue might be wires, but not sure. I have tons of wires, including
1) DAC100 Analog to Digital Video adapter, which works well with videos..but I can't find manual to help see if it can work with audio
2) "Y adapter". One side has female RCAs of Y, R, and W. Other side has Yellow (video) and Black (audio) plug. This seems to plug into the computer OK. (I think this should work as well as imic)
Can someone point me to a good detailed instruction of how to get this to work? This should not be that hard.
Thanks!! David

A new receiver very often does not have the correct pre-amp for old turntables.
Did you verify this?
If your amplifier/receiver does not have a special connection for turntables, the audio might have lack of low frequencies.
This Wiki tells you more about the necessary RIAA equalization:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization
If your amplifier/receiver is OK for the job, the cable you described should work.
Select the input in System Preferences>Sound, fire up Audacity and you're ready to record.
Sounds simple, but you might encounter several problems.
Audacity isn't my first choice. It's a good fairly good sound editor, but lacks easy settings for recording an entire LP and splitting it in tracks.
My iMac doesn't have an audio input, so I've used an iMic to digitize my vinyl records. The accompanying software (Final Vinyl) makes it a lot easier (even has a setting for RIAA correction). I didn't use it though.
I used my old amplifier as the source for the iMic and used CD Spin Doctor (part of Toast 6 and 7) to record the LPs and split them into the correct tracks.
Unfortunately, there is no standard 'recipe'

ITunes asking for reinstall and still won't work with win 7?

Just installed Windows 7 Ultimate on new unwritten hard drive, when I try and open iTunes I get the message that some registry files are not available, the ones that itunes uses for CD burning/playing, please reinstall iTunes. I have done this over and over and it makes no difference. iTunes will open but I cannot play anything and the speakers are working fine. I spent a couple hours with HP chat last night because my CD/DVD writer had error issues, and the gentleman from HP helped me to edit the upper and lower filters so that my CD player would be recognized by windows 7 and work, now iTunes won't work. I'm completely baffled because I have the same Windows 7 OS on another computer and iTunes works fine with that one. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Cindy

Hooray hooray hooray! So many times we never hear back what happens and it just makes my day to know when something works!
I will investigate why hp doesn't make this solution easier to find. Thanks again for your response!
Thanks!

Signing up for account with PayPal -- won't work

I'm trying to sign up for an account with iTunes for the first time and I want to use PayPal to pay for my st00f. I'm in my iTunes store, and "Step 2 of 2" is where it asks for credit card or other payment info-- I click the PayPal icon and it gives me an external link:
"To validate your PayPal account and verify that you'd like it to be used for Music Store purchases, click here."
I click it and get directed to PayPal... I go through a little process confirming that I want to pay for my iTunes with PP, then get this page:
Your Billing Agreement Has Been Created
Your Preapproved Payments Billing Agreement with iTunes is now complete.
Billing Agreement ID:
B-2NW00740A5085414V <--(this number is different each time I try it, of course)
OK... seems all fine and good. At the bottom of that page is a little button that says "Return to Merchant". One would expect that this would send me back to my iTunes store, but instead I get directed to this page in the same window: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Meanwhile, my iTunes is still stuck on the same window, "Step 2 of 2: Review Your Credit Card Information". My only two options on there are "Cancel" and "Go Back". No matter what I do fro mthis point on, if I ever try to sign in from iTunes it tells me that "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Music Store" and starts the whole process over again from the beginning.
I have iTunes version 6.0.4.2 on an HP Compaq nw8240 machine running Windows XP Pro. My PayPal acount is active and up-to-date and has funds available in it. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Well, turns out it wasn't the popup blocker, but it was trying to relaunch the iTunes store from out of my browser window. I have Firefox set to not allow that kinda shenanigans, so of course it wasn't working. Thanks for the heads-up. It's awful when the answer is right in front of your nose and you can't even see it.

Have used Illustrator CS5 for months. now suddenly it won't work- says "insufficient memory to run application". Lenovo w700, windows vista. Illustrator CS4 works, Photoshop CS5 works, everything else is working fine, in fact they all get loaded together.
I found no solutions on the community board.
Can I remove Ill. CS5 without damaging CS4, and then reinstall CS5? And if so, then how do I reinstall it?
This is not fun.
D Lund

Nope, it opens a tiny little window, plus opening the floating tool menu
This time I did not use the desktop short cut, but used what should be the exec icon under program files, expanded the window and it worked!

Many thanks Blackrat7768

Hi,
Since your link does not work, don´t know which model you are referring to, but either way both models should do the job nicely for you.
Truepower version 1 ( ATX 1.3 - 30amp single 12v rail with 20pin powerconnector )
http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=20550
Truepower version 2 ( ATX 2.x - 19+19amps dual 12v rails with 24/20 pin powerconnector )
http://www.antec.com/uk/productDetails.php?ProdID=17551
High power case-fans, usually are best to connect directly to a PSU 4-pin molex and not to the MoBo 3-pin connectors, which sometimes could overload the motherboard electrical circuit and give bootproblems or worse.

Overly Excited New User Needs Advice on Windows for Mac

As of Christmas day, I am a proud owner of a new MBP 17" beautiful piece of machinery! I'm coming from a PC so you can imagine my excitement when I opened this gift from my parents. Also, I'm 33 years old so getting a gift this amazing from your parents is pretty huge!
Anyway, the point is I have to use a program for work that is only available for Windows and I just need some advice on whether to use Parallels or VM or just use the free boot camp. I don't want to use Windows for anything other than this program. Is there a way around having to buy the whole Windows OS? Also, is iWork any better than Office? Not sure which of those to buy either. I hate that I even have to have Windows on my new Mac! Thanks for any advice.

Hi eightezsteps, welcome to Apple Discussions!
What program do you need? Often PC programs have equivalents on the Mac platform, or even Mac versions that many people are not aware of. There are very few file formats that Macs cannot deal with.
The choice of Parallels, VMWare, or Boot Camp will also depend on whether you require 3D graphics support with that application. So, we'll need to know what it is!
is iWork any better than Office?
I prefer it to Office now after using it for a year. However, it is different, and there is a slight learning curve to it. Once you discover the differences from Office, you'll be as productive if not moreso. You should be aware that some of the more advanced features of Office are sometimes not included in iWork though. So if you require advanced formulas and macros in Excel (for example) to be cross-platform compatible then you'll need Office. If your work is slightly less hardcore than that, you'll be just fine with iWork once you get used to it.
I do some pretty extensive academic writing (scientific) using Pages and Numbers and I have never ran into anything it could not do for me. That includes formulae and scientific notation.
