Re: vga

2010-09-13 Thread T-n-T
I have an imacg4 17" flat screen with the white round base. I tried  
to feed video to my TV via that vga adapter and it only worked for  
some videos. I cannot remember which ones but I read somewhere that  
the iMacg4 I have was more oriented towards acedemics. Even iTunes  
purchased videos wouldn't play on the TV with the adapter. Don't know  
if that helps or not..

Any Intel iMac would be a distinct improvement over the MDD, but I'd recommend 
getting at least a 2nd Gen (using the Core 2 Duo) over the first Gen which use 
the Core Duo CPU...there's quite a difference in performance between the two.

considering a used iMac

2010-09-13 Thread vsedriver
I've been running a PowerMac MDD for almost 7 yrs now, and feel it is time to 
move up to something a little newer. I can't afford an iMac right out of the 
store so can anyone recommend a used model? I do some graphic design 
(photoshop, inDesign) and want to try transferring some vhs tapes to dvd. I'm 
not very familiar with these and have always had towers that I could customize.

Have you considered punting the issue, and transferring the files to a

That looks like the best option.

Thanks.

iTunes Nuisance

2010-09-13 Thread Al Poulin
What could possibly cause the iTunes application to launch itself three times 
in 4 or 5 minutes this afternoon, and do it again repeatedly at random 
intervals?  What could cause it to launch itself when this iMac is in sleep?  
iTunes is opening with a screen for downloading music, importing CDs, and 
watching tutorials, all of which I do not care to do.  Is Apple playing games 
with this machine?

Running OS X 10.6.4 on iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with iTunes 10.0.  
Several weeks ago, this random launching also happened when I was running the 
latest version of iTunes 9.  The only way I used iTunes 9 is to occasionally 
listen to Radio. I have not used iTunes 10.

Other Apple Stuff in the House:  Old style Apple TV, wife's MacBook, and wife's 
old style iPod Touch, all using WiFi on Apple Express 802.11g and syncing her 
iTunes.  My iMac is set for WiFi on Time Capsule 802.11n, but AirPort is turned 
off in favor of Ethernet to the Time Capsule.  Apple Express and Time Capsule 
are ethernetted to a Verizon FiOS box whose WiFi is turned off.

Thanks.  I played with SiteSucker over the weekend after downloading
the .dmg.  It promises to be useful for me, but the first website I
attempted seemed set to lock out any copying.  I'll pass details off-
list to you for any comment you may have.
