Mapping network drive

2008-08-13T12:27:38Z

I am a brand new mac user after 15years of PC’s. I seem to able to sort out a lot of basic stuff so far but this eludes me.

I have an ibook with only a 40 gig hard drive. I would like to know how to map my NAS drive to it always appears on my desktop. I would like my Itunes library to be accessed from tis drive but not have to go looking for it every time. In windows it was really easy and I have a feeling it would be just as easy in OS X.

I have a g4 ibook, 1gig, 12”

Time Capsule Use Without Internet

2008-05-23T12:12:33Z

Hey everyone,

I’m considering purchasing a Mac, and was wondering about time capsule. I already have a router in my house, but only have 1 mmodem for the high speed internet. I am wondering if it’d be possible to just plug in the Time Capsule to the wall and have it serve as a wireless drive. Or, is it possible to use the Time Capsule as an extension of my current network (like have it pick up the signal and rebroadcast it?)

Thanks!

moving my music from pc to mac

2008-08-04T15:34:05Z

I have been working on this for the entire weekend. I read the previous post on how to do this. It does not seem to work. I thought I was pretty computer savvy, but removing the .itl extension is not working and i have tried everything. I am getting a little frustrated. I have about 40 g worth of music. I connect the pc to my mc via ethernet and that worked perfectly. I am at the point where I think I need to start over with itune folders etc. Could I please get some suggestions. I am tired of have two computers on my desk and trying to work from both. Thanks.

The Recipe Manager 3 Software

2008-08-01T13:47:26Z

Anyone here have this software and how do you like it? I currently use Mastercook 9 for PC use but want to get a MAC and the only software that they have compatable with the MAC is this recipe manager 3 .

Does anyone know how it would compare to Mastercook 9 for the PC?

Thanks in advance.

Need assistance before buying.

I have ALWAYS owned Dell PCs but my son wanted a MAC for college and since seeing his, I’ve decided to get one. I have a few questions though.

I KNOW that I want a Macbook PRO because I definately want at least a 15.4 “ screen. I currently own a DELL 17” . Do you think I will be happy with the 15.4”? Is there that much of a difference on webpages? It seemed to me when I was in the store today, that the web fonts actually appear smaller on the 17”. Then, should I go for glossy or matte finish? I love the look of the glossy but worry about it being too reflective. Also, the 17” is just very large when I do travel with it.

By the way, is there a way to make the webpages appear full screen? Will I still be able to find software titles for the MAC as easily as I do with the PC?

THANKS! ANy other thoughts or info that you might want to throw my way, I’d appreciate!

What is Spaces? Why would I use it? How would I use it?

accessing iPhoto libraries from other apps

2008-08-01T09:30:11Z

...I’m probably just out of luck, but.

I recently switched to Mac (so, yeah, running Leopard etc) and I really like iPhoto, for the organization and the auto-import and so on, and the fact that it loads way faster than Adobe Bridge. However. Most of my photo-related activity takes place in Photoshop, and I hate that I can’t GET TO THE DAMN FILES for it.

I found the “show package contents” trick in the Q&A;’s for this site, but that only works in Finder. And what I want to do—you know, photo editing—I can’t “accomplish from within iPhoto” as the Q&A;suggests. Is there any way to change settings so that the iPhoto “package” is accessible by other programs? Or to open files from it into Photoshop without having to copy and paste? I really am not a fan of Bridge, but I’m less of a fan of this not-being-able-to-get-at-my-pictures-except-through-iPhoto-where-I-can’t-do-anything-with-them crap.
