What's the best way to transfer my iTunes from one Mac to another?
What folders/files do I need to copy so that iTunes
library/playlists/settings are the same on the new computer as they were on
the original computer?

I was inspired by the "From Tape to CD" article in a recent MacWorld
magazine issue to try it myself with some old vinyl that I have. I
connected the stereo to the audio input of the PowerBook G4, and as
suggested in GarageBand help used the System Preferences to select the

I have been told by Intuit tech. support that Quicken 2005 users must
have Admin privileges just to run the application (at least under OSX).
Hard to believe anyone would tolerate so un-OSX a product. The
possibilities of accidental damage to system files seems to great.

Dear Group,
    I am in need of an audio app (or multi-media app if applicable)
that can do the following:
1) I want to take an audio file and define many (perhaps as many as 30)

I don't mean run in a classic mode I mean run a virtual mac that boots os 9
like virtual pc can boot into windows. I just ordered a mac mini and I know  
it can't boot into os 9 I was just wondering if there is an emulator so I

How do you control the size of desktop pictures in 10.3? My desktop is

before the finger has left the 'GetMail' button. 'Mail.app' on the other
hand takes up to a minute to connect.

Does anyone know of a link where i can find the Tiger VS for WinXP
pro...
I have to have it unitl i buy my PB G4/5.
Thanx.

About three years ago there was a discussion on getting sound out of a
source that had no sound-out capability. Someone asked about using the
iMic and Final Vinyl through the headphone jack of a tape deck.
Wayne Morris said, " ... I did a quick test, using the headphone jack

Looking for a forum, discussion list etc in order to learn from others
how to deal with Pages, be it tips, bugs or workarounds.
I find Pages nice for most tasks, but have some minor quirks.

At what point does Sound check work:
If the option is turned on and you are importing music CD's into
iTunes, does it do anything to alter the music files(my guess is no).
If the option is on,  I assume when listening to music on your computer

Do I really need Acrobat Distiller for print jobs (as in an external
print bureau), ie a flyer with photographs, or is the default way of OS
X good enough?
I need reasonable colour accuracy.

I use 10.2.8 and use the slideshow screensaver to display the thousand
or so photos I've taken over the years when the computer is not
otherwise being used.  Unfortunately, I tend to find myself watching
the slideshow and not working.  However, I don't want to get rid of the
