i have a lot of music on my mac and its taking up alot of space. a friend of mine told me i can save my mp3s on disk in a way that i can get alot on their instead of just burning 14 or 15 tracks on a disk but more like a 100 or so. how do i do this?

im terribly forreign with macs but
woudlnt u just make them a data cd? (not sure how the setup for your mac is)
wish i could help a bit more...but i think thats how it would work

yeah thats what i'm trying to do.

i think this music is making my computer slow. and i don't have any money to upgrade it yet.

I assume you're using iTunes? You go into the iTunes Preferences (in the bold iTunes menu at the top left of the screen when iTunes is open), click on the 'burning' tab, and select 'data'.

On Macs, this sort of thing can almost always be accomplished from the Preferences menu.

thanks your a lifesaver!

For the record, my major bitch about iBooks is that they don't ship with enough RAM. It's more likely to be that than a full hard drive if you haven't added more than the 256 () it probably came with.

iBooks...is this program or an actual laptop?

im thinking of getting one for university...any suggestions? (i have A LOT of songs on my iTunes already (i use PC so i kno nothing about macs) and i have an iPod..) anything i should avoid?

sorry for jacking your thread!

Whatever you buy from Apple, double the RAM. Third party RAM is often loads cheaper than Apple RAM. If you consider buying a Mac Mini remember it's difficult to replace RAM yourself.

Get a mac. Really. Not a decision that is often regretted.

iBook is a laptop. iTunes is the program.

I adore my iBook, but do upgrade the RAM.

Third party RAM is much cheaper. However, I'll tell you that my husband repairs Macs for a living, and he said that the Apple RAM rarely causes any problems, and the third party stuff often does. He's planning to buy third party for our machines, but he knows how to recognize RAM problems.

so does this look good?
i dont know much about how a pc works so anythin u jus told me was sounding much like chinese.

thats what i plan to do but i'm kinda broke right now.

SammiJ said:

That's a fab machine, yes. . .I definately like the 12 inch, for the record. . .but I'd still add RAM.

What you should do is go into an Apple store (check the site for a store locator) and talk to one of the Mac Geniuses there about it, and actually play with the machines. It's free, and they won't sell you more than you need.

ive checked out the site b4 (when i first got my iPod) and there arent any canadian locations 2 my dismay (i was on the canadian site too so i dont know)
i think ill give their lil number a call...once i convince my mom that that's what i want...its sooo cute! and it would SO fit in my purse too LOL
and the shit that thing can do...(from what i could understand that is)
im excited
i mean...wireless internet?! meaning i could be waiting at @ a bus stop and i could be surfing the net?...NICE.

SammiJ said:

Only if there is an open WiFi network near the bus stop. It's great, but not quite magic.

Too bad there's no store near you, but let me assure you that they are as lovely in person as on the website.
