mini CD's?

Hey guys, I just wanted a quick nook at a driver CD for an old part I have laying around here, and it's a mini CD. Uh, I am really reluctant to just shove this disk into the slot on the side of my mbp. Does any one know if the drive will take these discs? Thanks, erik burggraaf A+ certified

Hello Erik, I'm afraid your MBP won't take mini CDs. Cheers, Anne On Jan 19, 2010, at 2:27 PM, erik burggraaf wrote: > Hey guys, I just wanted a quick nook at a driver CD for an old part I have > laying around here, and it's a mini CD. Uh, I am really reluctant to just > shove this disk into

Re: mini CD's?

The CD drive will not take midi CD's. If you put it in the slot, it'll get stuck. On Jan 19, 2010, at 8:27 AM, erik burggraaf wrote: > Hey guys, I just wanted a quick nook at a driver CD for an old part I have > laying around here, and it's a mini CD. Uh, I am really reluctant to just > shove

Re: mini CD's?

You can get a special external drive from the Apple Store that will accommodate mini CD's. another thing you could do, although it is a lot of time consumed, is to transfer your data onto a mini disk recorder, then transfer it to your hard drive. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska. O

Growl Causing Trouble in Adium

How do I get rid of that Growl helper ap. It's far more a hindrance now than a helper. I had it start when Adium starts. Now, every time someone logs in or sends me a message, it says "adium needs attention, growl helper ap", and if I'm in another program like Safari, it'll lock up VoiceOver eit

IN the system preference panes, there is a button for growl. If you press the button, system preferences will reopen and you can press the stop growl button. Hth, Chantel. On Jan 19, 2010, at 12:08 PM, Eleni Vamvakari wrote: > How do I get rid of that Growl helper ap. It's far more a hindranc

It's there if you go to system preferences then hit the Advanced button and then go to the Ethernet tab and look for something called Ethernet ID. You can also get it from About This Mac from the Apple Menu by going into More Info and then interact with the list on the left to find Network and

Naw, this was like a one shot deal. So it doesn't work, no problem. I just walked it over to my pathetic old windows laptop. Now that I come to think of it though, the pc I'm installing on is going to have a slot. I suppose I should really convert these drivers. Ah well, onward... erik bur

Re: mini cds

It's more a matter of slot-loading vs tray loading. No slot loading drive, Mac, Windows or Linux, will handle the mini-CDs. Had a friend try it a few years ago and they ended up taking their machine to the shop to get the disc back out. Tray loading drives will either have a second smaller inde

RE: mini cds

Hi all, I know this is slightly off topic, but I'd just like to point out that there's a distinction between Mini Discs and Mini CD's. Mini discs are a Sony technology which are housed in a cartridge (68 × 72 × 5 mm) with a sliding door, similar to the casing of a 3.5" floppy disk. They'

I think the first "store" is like a heading. It's in all caps. Right below "iTunes store" is "purchased, store playlist" so I think the first "store" is like a category thing.

RE: iTunes as a spoken track: how to increase the speech rate?

I don't think that you can. Those services are probably Automator workflows. In Automator, there is only one action that I know of that can speak, and that action only allows setting the voice, not the speed or any other parameters. So, if you want to do some serious text to audio conversion, yo
