ÁDuro para las Compa–ias de Computadoras, pero Apple
sale alante con Nuevas Inovaciones!
A Bite from the Apple:
Las compa–ias de computadoras han
tenido un per’odo financiero muy duro, con pŽrdidas monetarias significativas
al sentir una econom’a doliente con poco est’mulo para comprar nuevas m‡quinas.
Eso es as’ para la major’a de las compa–’as de computadoras, pero Apple
Computers ha sido una de las compa–ias que no sigue lo comœn, y sigue con
grandes inovaciones y cosas nuevas. Tal es as’ que Apple Computers ha
tenido ganancias monetarias durante los per’odos m‡s duros de el sector
econ—mico en tecnolog’a. Apple sigue lanzando nuevas computadoras, m‡s y
m‡s excitantes y de tecnolog’a inovadora; como las nuevas Power Macs G5 con
arquitectura de 64-bits, nunca visto en personal computers. Airport Extreme
estableciendo nuevos estandares en conecciones inalambricas con la tecnolog’a
802.11g de 54Mbps. Nuevas iPods de f‡cil acceso a tu mœsica digital, y poder
conectarlo a tus componentes y oir mejor calidad de mœsica digital, con la
nueva compresi—n de AAC. Poder buscar y comprar mœsica digital f‡cilmente y
legalmente, de la mejor compa–ia del mundo, AppleMusic, y chequea que f‡cil es
usarlo! Nueva tecnologia en Video-Conferencing con todos tus amigos, con
el impresionante iChatAV y la Òmadre de los Web CamÓ el iSight. Y nada
m‡s y nada menos que el pr—ximo adelanto en sistemas operativos para nuestras
Macintosh que Panther (Mac OS X.3), donde en la pasada reuni—n tuvimos la
oportunidad de ver un Preview do lo que viene pronto para deleitar tu Macintosh
y obviamente nuestros miembros del SJMUG!

Know Your Mac!
Command-Shift-4... Not
your fathers screen shot any more!!
In Jaguar you can use the
user selectable mode (command-shift-4) to do your screen shots.
You use the space bar to toggle between the regular (+) selection mode and the
new mode to capture just a single window, the Dock or the menu bar (how cool is
that !!)
Your cursor will change to a camera icon when you have invoked this new mode
and as you move your mouse over different areas of your desktop the
target area is highlighted.
Enjoy!

iTunes 4: How
to Edit Song Information Simple and Fast
OSXFAQ Reader
Tip By Carlos Guido
Editing
song information
When you're connected to the Internet, you can retrieve information about the
songs on a CD from the CDDB (CD database) on the Internet. You can also enter
song information into iTunes yourself, or change the information that was retrieved.
But in version 4, you put the cursor over the song (in Browse Mode) and edit
the SONG info directly,
Simplest and Fast.
Eliminating
a duplicate Users folder in Mac OS X
A
problem with duplicate "Users" folders appearing in the top directory
in Mac OS X. There are a few simple steps you can take to analyze this problem,
and resolve it.
Go to the terminal and type the command "ls -li" at the top level. If
the second User folder shows up here, check the type and inode numbers. If both
are actual directories with the same inode number, the file system has a
problem -- rebooting from the CD and running Disk First Aid may fix it.
If not, then reboot in single-user console mode, and use the fsck command
to fix it: "fsck -y" should do the trick.
Troubleshooting
the iSight: Moving to another FireWire bridge to eliminate interference
Noted problems with the iSight interfering with the operation of other
FireWire devices. One of the devices most susceptible to this problem is the
iPod. For some users, when the iSight is connected and capturing video, their
iPod disappears from the Desktop and from the iTunes playlist, while the iPod
status screen cycles from the Apple logo to a "Do not Disconnect"
message over and over.
MacFixIt reader Cathy Rudolph offers the suggestion of adding a new FireWire
interface PCI card and connecting the iSight to its own separate bridge.
"I experienced interference problems with the iSight and an Ecrix tape
drive. The solution I came up with was to add a PCI FW card (Adaptec) to my G4
533 DP so that the tape drive is on a separate bank of FireWire ports. Now I
can use my tape drive and have the iSight plugged in all the time."
"While this doesn't answer the question of why there's an incompatibility
between the tape drive and the iSight, it does allow me to have all the devices
plugged in and ready to use, and will minimize the wear and tear on the FW
connectors and cables."
