Re: copying music from iPhone to cloud

[Frank Ventura]

Best way to do that is syncronize the music on your IOS device with ITunes on 
the PC and then turn on ITunes match and have ITunes match the music with 
copies from its own music store.

Re: copying music from a external NTFS drive to a Mac mini

[Mike Arrigo]

Just connect the drive, the mac will have no problems readng an ntfs drive, it 
just will not be able to write to it. If you're going to be sharing a drive 
between the mac and windows, best thing to do is format it as fat32, this works 
for both platforms.

Re: copying music from iPhone to cloud

[Dane Trethowan]

The easiest way to get your music onto the iCloud is to use itunes Match, all 
your purchases will be available plus alternatives to the Mp3 files you already 
have on your computer which may have been imported from your CD collection etc.

Other devices will then have access to your music, such devices may be your 
iPhone, iPod Touch, other computers running iTunes etc.

Re: copying music from a external NTFS drive to a Mac mini

[Arthur Barney]

Hi Diane,
I don't think you want to do that, because your Mac Mini is probably only a 
500 gig hard drive.

Connect your external drive to your Mac, but don't let it format it,.

I  have an external 1tb drive, that I have always used with my Pc, so it is

copy to my Mac Mini. How can I accomplish this?


I do not have Windows simulation on my Mac mini.
All of the music is not in my iTunes library.

My 30gb iPhone 4 is full, and I want to put music on the cloud. I have 
already purchased 55gb of storage on the cloud, but do not know how to get 
the music, and/or other data to copy to the cloud. I am also interested in 
learning how to back up music and other data from my PC to the cloud.

Re: how many usb devices can I have plugged in to my mac?

[Travis Siegel]

The usb protocol can support up to 127 (or maybe it's 128) devices on  
a single usb bus.  Of course, in practice, this isn't the case if  
each device requires power from the port.  The usb port (talking 2.0  
here, not 1.1 ports) can offer a max of 500 MA (that's miliamps) of  
power draw.  If the usb device needs to draw power from the usb port,  
then you want no more than 2 or 3 devices on a single port, as the  
current draw above this point is too much for the port to handle.  If  
however, each device is self-powered, then as mentioned above, you  
can chain up to 127 devices on a single port, though, I'd suspect if  
anyone managed it, the devices would be very slow, and extremely  
error prone, since all the devices would be contending for resources.
The 1.1 stats are similar, but less than those for 2.0, though I  
don't know what those are off the top of my head.

Anyhow, hope this helps.
You do have multiple usb ports on your mac, so use those first for  
port-powered devices (such as thumb drives, and dongles), while the  
keyboard ports (usually only 2 of them) should be reserved for those  
devices that don't need either speed or can handle their own power  
requirements.
This is of course, only a summary, but nonetheless, I think I hit the  
main points. :)

Re: problems with videos in safari

[Travis Siegel]

I'm a little puzzled that this site works anywhere, on anything.
When I pull up the site, and view the source, each and every video is  
linked to a url of # (that's a number sign) and that's all.
If it works on another os, or another browser, it's got to be  
something related to javascript, because the raw links don't point  
anywhere.
I don't have any interest in digging through loads and loads of  
javascript to hunt down the stupid little tricks he used to make the  
urls work properly, but you might want to mention to him that viewing  
the source on your machine gives each link nothing but a number sign  
character, and see what (if anything) he says about that.

Re: how many usb devices can I have plugged in to my mac?

[Esther]

Hi Lyn,

I suspect you need to provide more information about your machine.  I don't 
think there is a maximum number of USB devices that can be attached so much as 
a limit on the total power draw, especially if you are using your USB ports to 
power the attached devices.  I doubt you'd get this message if you were 
plugging in USB memory sticks, but larger capacity hard drives (in the several 
hundred GB to Terabyte range) can require more power.  Those drives will also 
usually have a place where you can plug in an extra power supply, although that 
may be an extra accessory that doesn't come with the hard drive.  Some USB hard 
drives can be powered from your USB ports, but will requires you to plug 
connectors into two USB ports to supply sufficient power.  This can vary a lot 
according to the manufacturer of the hard drive enclosure, even without the 
issue of how much power the hard drive itself needs to operate.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Boosting Volume on an IOS device using headphones

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi everyone!

I have to admit to being in "Suspense Mode" today.

I'm receiving a Headphone amp in the mail which I ordered.

This device plugs into the dock of your IOS device and you then plug a pair of 
headphones into the amp.

Why would anyone need such a device? Well the advert states that many good 
quality headphones and earbuds are not too sensitive thus some amplification 
may be required.

I can certainly understand where the company who make this amp are coming from 
here though it also fell to my knowledge that this amp may help those who have 
a hearing impairment? We'll see later on today, I'll get back to the list with 
a summary of what the device does etc.

I'm didn't waste too much money in the purchase of this amp, it was a 
"Clearance item" at an online shop I regularly visit, total cost was $25.00 
Australian.

Re: Adjusting the VoiceOver Volume

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

Try this and see how you go.

Whilst your iPhone is speaking something press on the up volume button on the 
phone, see if that raises the level.

Other methods, if you have a keyboard connected to your phone - bluetooth or 
dock doesn't matter - hold down ctrl-option and command keys, use left and 
right arrow keys to cycle through Voiceover Options, volume will be in amongst 
them.

When you cycle to volume, keep hold of ctrl-option and command keys and use the 
up/down arrows to adjust Voiceover volume.
