happy New Year
I appear to be under attack by a Mac virus that causes them to reproduce until I no longer have any desk space. (Pic of all the Macs on my desk)
Adventure #1 15" G4 1.33 HD dies. I manage to back up and install a new HD with some minor problems to the RAM slots. Only one works anyway. It is now back up with Tiger (the only system disc I have). I will probably use it for music on the HiFi.
Bought new MacBook Pro 13". Brilliant machine. Fast and sleek. I begin to think that yes Steve is god after all. Apple becomes #2 company after Exxon Mobil!
Meanwhile the Iphone has consumed my personality and turned me into an input/output device.
Then Barb's 12" 1.33 G4 HD stops with no backup. I try Disc U but it says it is dead. install new HD with Tiger again. Now up and running but everything lost. Try to reinstall music and photos from her Ipod touch. Apple don't support such nefarious activities. Steve is relegated to devil status. How could Apple be #2 when they are so !@#$%^ stupid.
Download Senuti and move music to my machine because the G4 no longer recognizes the ipod touch. incompatibilities between OS X4 and Iphoto 10 so load iphoto 8 but need QT 7 so load that then upgrade iphone to os4 and now it needs OS X6 to communicate . Getting irritated with Steve at this point.
However music now at least safe on my machine. Then try to load photos from Ipod to mac. Again no go. try 4Media transfer but it only seems to move thumbnails.
Think there must be an easier way to just move photos from Ipod to Mac.
Desperate measures. Call in the cavalry. MacRumours
Meanwhile the new MB Pro goes to sleep and doesn't wake up. Shut down and Open. All is good. Read about the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH on several blogs. Call Apple. They say take it in to dealer which I will do next week or so meanwhile using the G4 to work on.
Next job check whether my snowleopard Time machine back up can be accessed by Tiger on G4. Wish me well.
Any ideas on moving the pictures from the touch to the Mac appreciated.
I am seriously thinking of becoming a Luddite except for my Iphone addiction.
cheers
