I interpret that many Mac drug user are so impressed with the on the face of it endless wonders of their computers that they conceive their Apple - brand boxes can do anything . But even Apple ’s technology has its restriction . With that in mind , today ’s Mac 911 entranceway takes a crook toward the negative .
Intel + Classic = No
We begin with Macworld forum member , Auroros , who writes :
No .
Rob Griffiths puts it nicely in his response , which read :
Classic will * not * track down on an Intel Mac , period . you’re able to mess up with permit all you like , but it but will not work .
HD -> DVD -> Computer = No
In reaction to my late convert Unprotected DVDs web log introduction , forum visitant Ostero2001 postulate :
That which has been taken out can not be restored . For lesson , once you ’ve exchange a music file from uncompressed AIFF to MP3 , convert it back to AIFF wo n’t restore the information that was earlier removed by the MP3 encoder . Same here . Once you ’ve burned the file to DVD , it ’s encoded at a less tone than the original HD video . Upsampling it to 1080i ca n’t restore data that ’s been miss .
Running Fan + Terminal = No
Reader Jerry Kerrisk has an old G3 iBook with a fan that wo n’t seem to stop lead . He asks :
Fans generally run for a rationality . If you shift it off , you could bake your ‘ Book . If the lover run invariably , make certain that it ’s as vented as you may make it ( shore up the back , for example , and keep it off soft surfaces that could block airflow to the bottom of the laptop ) .
GarageBand -> MP3 = No
In response to this entry about exporting AIFF files from GarageBand , reader Gary Earl expect if he can export his podcast from GarageBand as an MP3 single file .
I ’m afraid that you either have to export it as an AAC data file or , after veil the podcast runway , expend the Share - > Send Song to iTunes command to export your podcast as an AIFF file and then convert it to MP3 within iTunes .
iTunes – iPod shuffle = No
And eventually , reader Marni Ockene is annoyed . She writes :
While “ no ” is n’t the right reply to this one , I can offer something equally damaging :
You ca n’t do it .
I ’m sham you ’re writing specifically about the first - genesis iPod shambling , which you could detach from your computer while leaving a practical version of the iPod in iTunes ’ author list . Under iTunes 7 this is a no - can - do scenario .
