Using PC for Podcasts & Mac for music

Hi, I have an ipod 30 - love it.
I'd like to use my mac for music updates and PC for podcasts.
WHY would I want to do this?
1. My mac is a G3 10.2.8 and it rejects the majority of video podcasts - my local mac shop says "yes, that is common."
2. I like having my music on the MAC as it is portable - the PC is a desktop. (plus the mac looks cool in the loungeroom.)
So I formatted my ipod for PC - uploaded all my PC podcasts (successfully) and then moved to my mac to get my music (successfully).
PROBLEM
When I go back to my PC to get Podcast updates, it asks if it can wipe all my music. i can't find the option to just update podcasts.
Any thoughts?

Surprise Surprise . It worked!
I simply re visited the same process (see above)
and it worked.
TIPS: When Windows asks to be the Music library, say NO - it will then up date your podcasts.
NOTE: when you update your music on the MAC, it will wipe your podcasts - simply return to the PC and upload podcasts.
cheers,

Use "Back to my Mac" for off-site TM backup?

Can I use "Back to My Mac" for a Time machine backup.
I'd like to setup a remote hard disk on my parent's iMac so I can backup remotely. I'll do the same for them on this site. Unfortunately, I suspect it's not that easy yet.
We both have 1Mbps upload speeds so it'd be fine for backup of changes, but for the initial backup we'd have to move our laptops to each others' houses.

Anyone know?

Where do I go for a safe driver for the Mac for use with Altec Lansing Technologies IMT227 OrbitM Ultra Portable Speakers?

This is an Altec Lansing IMT227 OrbitM etc
Is this what you have?
Here is the specification, please note, no USB
You are either mistaken or talking about a different model.

Is it possible to use aim with a mac for free?

If you mean the application AIM for Mac, it will depend on your download speed.
If you mean "Can I use iChat with an AIM a screen name and does it cost anything ?" then the answer is Yes you can and no it does not cost and there is no download to do.
If you mean "Can I use the AIM service with an @mac screen name and can this be done for free ? " then the answer is again yes.
A trail account cost nothing and will work in ichat after the 60 days is up
A Paid for but Lapsed account will also work in iChat and for this purpose can now be considered free.
As I said and hinted at before your first question does not make it clear what you are actually asking.
The Application AIM for Mac is stuck at version 4.7 and does not do Video or Audio Only chats.
It has things that are useful in tweaking Buddy Lists in iChat but it is not specifically needed to contact AIM Buddies.

I just purchased an ibook for my mac for the first time and it started with two pages then switched to one with notes and i can't change it back. Anyone else having this problem?

Up the top where the three buttons are (red yellow green) are three images. Click on the third image that looks like a notepad (not the first which is a library book), and that should get rid of 'Notes'. To read using two pages make the window bigger.

Anybody using their intel i-mac for professional use?

Is anybody using Intel i-Mac for professional use? (Music or video production?). I went to the Apple store here and checked the Powermac G5 2.0, Intel i-Mac and a Macbook pro. They all seem equally fast. (I tried loading songs in Garageband, opening multiple apps, switching between them, loading samples etc). What's your experience?

Have been using PhotoShop and InDesign and have found "saving" to be a problems sometimes when you have made a number of changes. The spinning ball keeps spinning. Suggest that anyone using it (Rosetta) save more frequently as I've had to Force Quit on some documents more frequently with loss of work.

Remote Connection using Back to my Mac for Time Capsule?

How do I connect to my Time Capsule and connected usb drive/printer now that Back to my Mac for Mobile Me is disabled and iCloud is running Back to my Mac?
More information:
I used to use the Mobile Me's version of Back to my Mac to enable connecting with my time Capsule, but how is this done now that iCloud has taken over Back to my Mac and I have upgraded to Lion.
I have a Feb2011 MBP and a 2010 minimac the macmini is always connected to the time capsule, but I would like to be able to connect directly to the time capsule without having to go through the macmini.
Thank you for your help

It is possible but I am not sure it is worth the hassle..
Your key issue here is public IP for your network.. if you have a static ip you are fine.. but very few people have this. It also depends on how the TC is setup.. is it the main router for the network or plugged into a modem router which has the role of main router, even if you use the TC as a secondary router.
Without more info..
1. This is easy if you have a static public IP and the TC is the main router and gets the public IP on the wan port.. just go to disk sharing in the airport utility manual setup and check for wan (internet access).
2. If you have a dynamic IP, then you will have to sort out how you are going to find that IP.. the normal method to use dyndns account is not directly applicable because the TC has no client. It is possible to set up dyn dns but you will need to purchase your own domain name.
3. You may find it easier to use standard router and bridge the TC. A standard router can be setup to port forward 548 AFP files service to the TC ip address. You may or maynot be able to access the printer. Certainly would be easier if the printer has IPP services. And is a true network printer.
4. Use vpn.. get a vpn router so you can setup proper vpn endpoints.. then you use VPN service to access your local network.. this is far more secure and will work with dyndns just fine.

Recommendation for fast Mac for databases or way to make Mac faster?

I've currently got a Mac mini 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB RAM running OS 10.6.8. I'm on a quest to either make my current Mac faster or find the ideal mac for databases. I upgraded recently from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 in the hopes of making my computer more stable and faster, but things are running slower. No wonder, Activity Monitor hardly shows any green memory. Apple doesn't seem to sell memory for this Mac anymore. So I'm wondering whether it's time to just get a new Mac.
What Mac would you recommend for someone not using videos, music, images on a regular basis? Would you consider any of them to be overkill for mostly running database programs? Or would any particular one be insufficient?
Thanks!

Well, almost correct. This computer is used primarily for work, which typically involves FMP or Excel, a browser, less frequently page layout software, Acrobat, emulators of older Mac OSs, and very rarely videos, graphics or audio files. The original problem that led to this post was with a large Excel file that started going haywire. Troubleshooting that led me to repair permissions, repair disk (nothing wrong), reset all sorts of prefs, and eventually install 10.6. After that install, Excel became extremely slow, and other apps also took much longer to open. So I cleaned up Font Book, got rid of unnecessary widgets, emptied caches, and otherwise tried to streamline things. The only startup item I have is for the printer. The other day I realized that Firefox is guzzling any memory that looks free to it, even if I don't have 50 tabs open. Followed steps recommended by Mozilla to solve that, but it seems to guzzle even more now (over 450 MB with 2 tabs open). I don't have Cocktail or Onyx, but maybe that would be the place to look next. I'll try resetting PRAM & SMP next.
I do want to start backing up the files I'm currently working on on an hourly/weekly basis, if not the whole HD. I've been lazy about that. Since that will involve buying an external HD, I've been putting it off to see whether it's worth it to stick with this computer (and get an HD with Firewire 400) or wait & get an HD with Thunderbolt. I dropped in at the Apple store yesterday to look at the new Macs, and they seem to be running fine without any memory guzzlers (even on those with just 2 GB), though the app startup time was a bit slow.
OWC looks great; I'd just have to either find a Swiss equivalent or wait till my next trip back to the U.S., which isn't around the corner.

Can I get Macrosoft windows with excel and Outlook express. I have the disk for office mac for my mac book. Can I install that disk to an Ipad 2?

I have Office Mac for home and office. Can I use the same installation disk on an Ipd2?

I suggest checking out the app: QuickOffice. It's $14.99 and gives you full compatability to MS Excel, Word & PowerPoint to read, edit and create files. Pair it with the free app "DropBox" to easily transfer files back and forth between your iPad and your desktop.

I installed Firefox 4 on my new computer and am getting a banner on some web pages stating "Additional plug ins are required to display all the media on this page - I haven't had this problem until today; I have been using Firefox on my Macs for years.

I just bought a new MacBookPro to replace my 3 year old MBP. I was not receiving the banner when I was on my old Mac running Firefox 3.6.16.
The yellow banner seems to appear randomly. I got it when I went to https://artistsnetwork.tv/e-myvideos.aspx and https://bit.ly.com but not when I went to Hootsuite, Twitter or textbroker.com.
There is an "Install missing plugins" button on the right side, but I'm afraid to click on it since I don't understand what might happen to my new computer.

If you format in Guid for Intel Macs, Apple partition for PPC Macs for Boot drives, then why do my PPC Hard drives Boot in my 2007 Mac Pro, what gives?

I recently purchased a 2007 Mac Pro for a song, swapped the CPU's for octo chipsets and proceeded to wait for new Hdd's in the mail. I was told the Hard drives in my old G5 would not be bootable unless they're in Guid format. Disc Utility confirmed to use the specific maps as well and yet all of my 2006 PPC Power Mac G5 Hard drives boot in my MP without a hitch, although a few none universal apps do not work. So what am I missing, does it really matter which Apple partion map to choose from or is this a fluke?...

Yes, and what version of Mac OS are they booting?
>> They will boot the OS that is on them, but not a later one.

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.
