Mac Applications

Webcams - PC > Mac
Hi I use Windows, but I have a couple of close friends that use Macs. One of them has bought a iSight webcam recently. We both use MSN Messenger and Skype, but the Mac versions doesn't seem to have webcam support. Apparently Yahoo messenger has webcam support for both Mac and PC, but neither of us want ... 17 Jun 2006 11:39

iPod Manual/Automatic Update
I have a 4 GB iPod Nano and about 20 GB in my iMac's iTunes Library, so it seems I have to use Manual update to get what I want on the Nano. I realize iTunes may have some way of selecting which 4 GB of my 20 GB Library to put on the Nano if I choose Auto Update, but there are certain tracks I want for sure to be o... 16 May 2006 00:23

Conversion of dvr-ms to mpeg to Quciktime?
I converted a dvr-ms file to mpeg using a PC-only conversion program but the resulting mpeg file wouldn't run on quicktime (on my 15" powerbook, 1.25 GHz, 10.4.6). The helpful people here pointed me to an app called vlc which will play an mpeg file with that codec on a mac. My next question is: can I convert the fi... 8 May 2006 23:06

iPod songs missing
I have a 20 gig color iPod that says version 1.2.1 in settings > about. It is formatted for Mac, with over 10 gigs in use. This is extremely annoying... Since I only use it on weekdays at work, every Monday morning I find that it has shut itself off while sitting idle over the weekend, and usually it has lost a... 15 May 2006 13:49

TextEdit 1.4 on Panther?
1) Will TextEdit 1.4 run on Panther (10.3.9)? 2) If so, how can one get it? (Doesn't seem to be any way to find it or download it from Apple web site.) 3) In TextEdit 1.3, ctrl-Q ctrl-L will insert a Page Break (FF). Seems to be an undocumented feature, or at least not in any menu; works in Plain Text o... 7 May 2006 14:12

iPod newbie question
Hi, Can anyone explain to me how my iPod turns itself off? I know that if I hold down the play button for a few seconds it shuts down, but is there a way to set up the ipod so it automatically turns itself off after a certain amount of inactivity? I think I may be going through the batteries too fast by leav... 2 May 2006 02:19

Retrospect express
Is Retrospect Express available for purchase anywhere? All I can find is the "full" version of Retrospect which I don't see any need to cash out the money for, given that I'll only use it in a basic way to back up my drive on DVDs etc. If it's not for sale any more, are there good places to look for used softwar... 23 May 2006 08:03

iTunes & disk space
Dear All, We have a iBook with a small HD, and it's getitng full. The iTune library is taking up most space (of our own data, though if anyone knows of any other files we can safely delete, we'd be grateful for the advice). As we have an iPod (with more space than the iBook), does anyone know whether/how to ar... 18 Apr 2006 14:57
