Big Sur crashes etc
Hi there: Ever since installing Big Sur/11.3/11.3.1, I have been having big problems with the machine crashing and restarting randomly, taking forever to shut down, refusing to shut down altogether, even spontaneously powering on from being off. Anyone else seeing this behavior? Suggestions for how to deal with it other than getting another drink and waiting for the next update? I’m also finding that Music and Podcasts are moody about synching with my trusty old iPod Classic…I have to wait for the iPod to eject, then select it again in Music before it fully syncs, and even then the podcasts don’t necessarily always get synced—plus podcasts that I want to save don’t necessarily get saved once they’re played. Annoying.

External backup drive recommendations
Hi there: My wife’s 2nd computer has just been replaced with a new 1TB SSD Mini, and we need to get a backup for it. I’d be glad to know your recommended sources, makers, and types (meaning HD vs. SSD). The size would be probably 1-1.5 TB, I guess, no need for more than that as far as I know; the data at issue will not change very often at all since it’s a single use/function machine—meaning it only gets used for one specific activity that does not involve much updating of data.

Finding duplicate files
Hi there: How can I find duplicate files? I think I have several boatloads of photos that are dupes of each other, in various folders.

Time Machine configuration...?
Hi there: I’ve got Big Sur installed now, and I’m hoping to be able to use Time Machine to do my backing up rather than Carbon Copy Cloner, which is what I’ve been using for quite a while now. But I can’t see how to configure TM to do what I need. Here’s the setup: I have three physical HDs, one internal to the Mini and two external. One of the externals is partitioned, so the system actually thinks I have four HDs. The idea is to back up the internal to one partition and the standalone external to the other partition. TM isn’t showing me one of the (partitioned) HDs as a possible destination for a backup. It also isn’t showing me the internal HD as a source. The two it's showing (which are for what used to be called iTunes, one the source and the other the destination) are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled); the two it isn’t showing (for the HD itself, ditto) are formatted as APFS. Is that difference in format a (or the) issue? If I reformat anything I will lose all that data, as you know. How can I proceed? Thanks for any insight, and happy new year! *** Bill Spencer in Maryland Mac Mini 2.6 GHz i5/11.1 -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Video editing question
Hi there: I seem to be being hauled toward getting into some basic video editing/production. I could please use some insight into the advantages/disadvantages of Final Cut Pro vs. Adobe Premiere Elements. I have never really done anything with video editing, and I really doubt I will have any very high-end needs—pretty basic is what I’m expecting. The pricing is quite different from what I can see, and cheaper is certainly better if possible. FYI I have not gone to Big Sur yet but I will probably have to do so before long.

Backing up options for the new OS
Hi there: Here’s the story: I have two external drives in addition to the internal one on the Mini listed below. One of the externals contains everything that used to be in iTunes (I haven’t bothered to rename to drive), because the main HD is not roomy enough to hold it all. The other external drive is the backup, partitioned to handle the main HD and the iTunes material separately. Up to now I have been using Carbon Copy Cloner to make my weekly backups because—well, I don’t remember why it appeared at the time that Time Machine could not handle backing up everything since it’s split among two different drives (one internal and one external), but that’s what I thought so there we are. With the new OS that Apple is issuing in the near future I would like to revisit the backup strategy, please. Could someone please confirm whether or not I can back up everything using Time Machine given the way it’s all configured now? And is Time Machine the best tool for backing up, or should I continue using CCC even though it may not be compatible with the new OS right away? All thoughts welcome.

OT: iPod upgrade question
Hi there: First, my apologies in advance for asking at all. I’m asking this question here because I have no idea where else I can ask it aside from the Apple communities—which I have already done. I have an iPod classic, last generation, with the stock 160gb HD installed. It is completely full so I cannot add anything to it anymore. Apparently it is technically possible to replace the HD with a bigger SSD one. My question is this: Has anyone here actually had this done? If so, did it work okay and how much did it cost?

Catalina vs. iTunes: some questions
Hi there: I have not yet installed Catalina and need to know a couple of things first, please: I currently keep iTunes on a separate, external HD due to the fact that there’s not enough room for it on the main HD (capacity 250GB, but iTunes currenlty uses a bit over 500GB) Will Catalina understand and maintain that separation? Will my classic iPod (the last model they made) still work with Catalina and the replacement for iTunes? I back up iTunes (& everythng else) to another separate, external partitined HD using Carbon Copy Cloner because I have been under the impression that Time Machine can't handle the separate HD for iTunes, thogh I forget why that’s the case Will that backup strategy continue to work with Catalina, or will Time Machine be the way to go?

Reconfiguring AirPort Express?
Hi there: This is the kind of thing that drives me batty. I decided I wanted to stream iTunes (version 12.7.2.58) over the home stereo via our (pre-existing) FiOS wifi network, so I picked up an A1264 AirPort Express on eBay. It still has the prior owner’s network running on it, so I tried using a straightened paperclip to push the reset button (I held the button in while plugging the unit in, like the book says). The unit is flashing amber, the old network is still showing up, and AirPort Utility is not seeing the unit at all. Did I tell you that I hate dealing with networking issues? I found a PDF of the setup guide, but I cannot find the AirPort Setup Assistant it mentions. All I want to do is get the thing to join the existing home network so I can stream iTunes to the home stereo. Did I tell you that I hate dealing with networking issues? I am very sorry to be so dense, and I appreciate all offers of assistance (as well as of a nice Scotch).

Extracting audio-only from DVD audio

Driver locations?
Hi there: My wife is trying to install a new touch-screen monitor for a very unusual application she uses. The old monitor was just too big for the space available. From what I understand, the new monitor (Planar PT1945R) works fine except for the touchscreen functionality. I was just on the phone with the Planar folks, who said that there are actually two different drivers to install, one from Planar and another from an outfit called UPDD (it seems the Mac is very unfriendly about touch-screen technology…). He also said it would be very useful to remove the driver for the old touch-screen monitor (made by Tyco). My question is this: where do I find that old driver?

FaceTime/iSight question(s)
Hi there: I am just now beginning to experiment with using FaceTime with the machine below; I bought a second-hand iSight camera not long ago to use with it, but am baffled by some things. So I'm sorry to ask what may well be obvious questions (the answers to which I have not yet found within the FT help documentation), but...well, here goes. FYI, in lieu of the proper FW port I am using a FireWire-to-Thunderbolt adapter to connect. When FT launches (automatically, once it detects the camera) I can see the camera’s output image with me in it, but there’s also a message: “No camera available. To use FaceTime, turn on the camera.” This makes no sense to me—what’s up? I'm apparently supposed to enter my Apple ID and password in order to activate FT but I cannot for the life of me find where to do so. Are there network configurations I need to set to use FT? I don't see any but maybe that's part of the issue. Am I right in remembering that the camera has a built-in microphone? My parents' iPad is what I tried calling; I heard the dialing/ringing sound but they show no indication that I tried contact them. I assume that will change once I get the above resolved...?

PATA drive capacity question

I know I would have to figure out a way to connect it to the computer, but I don’t care about speed since this would be backup-only.

Hi there: Here’s another DVD question…I have a single copy of a non-commercial and unavailable DVD that appears to be copy-protected. I want to make a copy for myself that I can watch on both the TV and the computer just as though I’m looking at the original, meaning including whatever chapters might exist. To do this, I think I have to go through a conversion process…Disk Utility refuses to make a disk image (this is why I think the disk is copy-protected). So what’s the simplest way to do this? I’ve come across a few software packages that claim to do this: MakeMKV Total Video Converter Pro for Mac Flv Crunch for Mac Aiseesoft MP4 Converter for Mac Anyone here have any experience using any of these? And what else do I need to know? (At least I’m not dealing with regions and PAL to NTSC this time!)

Migration Assistant question
Hi there: My parents bought themselves a Mac Mini for CHristmas, to replace their late-2006 iMac (just like mine—see below). When I went up to visit them last week to help get it set up, it turned out that the Migration Assistant process somehow froze up well before completion, and I had to force the Mini to shut off by holding the power button in for several seconds. What do I/we do next? Is there a way to reset the Mini so we can start the migration anew? In short, ¿que pasa?

Photo-merge tool?
Hi there: I have an ancient version of Photoshop Elements that has a feature that merges multiple images into one panoramic result, but since that's the only thing I'd use it for I would rather not buy the whole package for just one tool.

Using MS Windows
Hi there: Today is my first day with my new employer, and there are things I have to do for them that require using Windows. Since I do not have a work computer yet I seem to be in the unhappy position of having to install Windows on the 1.83 iMac listed below. This is completely new territory for me, so could someone please direct me to a good source of information on what version of Windows I need to obtain, and basically everything I need to know about dealing with this unfortunate development. Basic, meaning cheap, is fine with me.

Extending a network
Hi there: A friend has Verizon DSL (because FiOS isn’t available within the city limits, I don’t know why), and the modem, or whatever its equivalent is for DSL, generates the wireless network in his house. He wants to extend that network so the rest of the house gets better signal strength, but there’s an exterior brick wall between where Verizon’s device is (in a newer addition to the house) and where the rest of the house is. I believe it will be possible to place the new device in such a way that it can pick up the current signal through a doorway, but I’m not 100% certain of that. So: will any wireless router do the trick, or should he be looking at some specific features in the extender? And are there any configuration points to bear in mind?

Connecting iMac to new TV?
Hi there: I got this note from a friend today, and am hoping someone here may know more about it than I, since I know absolutely nothing about it. We recently got a 40'' Samsung Smart TV, which is amazing, and I am trying to connect it (for the purpose of mirroring) to my 2007 iMac via a Mini Display Port HDMI Female Adapter to an HDMI chord. My Samsung says to use the HDMI 1 (DVI) port to connect, but it doesn't detect the connection (and I've tried other, plain HDMI ports as well). I've looked online, and there are tons of forums on this type of issue, but I haven't found anything that helped me. I realize that it could be something as simple as a bad cable(s), but have no way to test it. Any suggestions?” I will pass along to him anything you care to send.

iTunes truncates when converting
Hi there: I have a single audio file of about 9 1/2 hours duration, that for some unimaginable reason I want to split up into smaller chunks. But when I tell iTunes (10.2.2) to convert it to AIFF so I can edit it with Audacity, iTunes stops the conversion at well under three hours, and truncates the file.

Can't print a PDF...
Hi there: For some reason I cannot print a PDF (on the second machine listed below) from Acrobat Reader to the Laserwriter on the minimal network. The print dialogue shows the file spooling to the printer, the green light on the printer starts blinking, then everything resets as though the job is done...but nothing actually printed. I can print everything else to it (web pages, documents, etc.), and I can print PDFs to a direct-connected inkjet printer. This has just started happening in maybe the past month or so. Any ideas?

Printing inquiry
Hi there: Is there a consensus on ink? I have two ink-jets, a Canon Pixma iP6220D and an HP Photosmart C4400 series (as well as a laser printer), and have been finding it increasingly difficult to get replacement third-party cartridges that work, especially with the Canon. My choices seem to be, in descending order of cost: 1. Branded cartridges 2. Third-party cartridges 3. Refilling myself, by hand As we all know, #1 is very expensive, but of course the manufacturers make their money on the ink, not the machines. #2 is as noted above. Do you-all have recommendations on whether it makes any sense to go to #3, which I have never done, or just suck it up and go to #1?

iTunes and the firewall?
Hi there: For some days or weeks now, whenever iTunes opens up it insists on asking me if it should accept incoming connections...even though the firewall setting (in the Security system preference) is set to have iTunes accept incoming connections. It would not be that big a deal except that once a week I have things set up to launch iTunes automatically so I can listen to a particular audio stream from a far-distant radio station and I'm tired of answering the same question the same way.

iMac flip-out--aack!
Hi there: The newer of the two machines listed below has decided to enter a parallel universe. It will not boot to the regular login screen but instead goes straight to my son's desktop after just a couple of seconds worth of a grayish screen I've never seen before, with a horizontal progress-bar-looking sort of thing visible at the bottom of the screen. The menu across the top of the screen is no longer visible, the mouse pointer moves but will not open or close anything, there is no way to command-tab through apps (even if there are any open), and the only way to shut down is to hold down the power button. I plan to dig up the original discs and see if I can boot from there, and then see what happens...maybe repair permissions or something. I think I have an old copy of Tech Tools floating around someplace, but I don't even know what version, let alone if it will function properly on this thing. Push comes to shove I can take it down to the genius bar tomorrow night, but not before then. Any advice gratefully accepted, the sooner the better. *** Bill Spencer in Maryland IMac Core Duo 2.4 ghz/1 g RAM/Snow Leopard IMac Core Duo 1.83 ghz/1 g RAM/Snow Leopard -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Display shows vertical line
Hi there: The older of the two machines below has just developed a thin vertical yellow line, just left of center, that sometimes flickers but not usually. I assume it's simply one of those things that happens but am wondering if it's a symptom of something more ominous than just an annoyance. How urgent might it be for me to get it looked at?

Getting Mail to work with two machines
Hi there: I am hoping there's a way to get the newer machine (see details below) when it fires up Mail to do so using the mailboxes on the older machine. (This is because I generally use the older machine but occasionally it's not available to me.) It looks as though the Synchronize feature only works 1) if you have a .Mac account, which I don't, or 2) only if your mail server uses the IMAP protocols, which mine doesn't...they use POP.
