You can print page numbers, the date, and the document title on each page of a new TextEdit document. 1. Choose TextEdit > Preferences and click New Document. 2. Select "Number pages when printing." Or use Tex-Edit Plus, which has many more features.

I have lost the book for my dual 1.24 G4 processor tower Mac. I am running the latest Tiger release. I need some help importing audio into this machine. I have a cassette deck with RCA outputs. I would like to plug my deck into my Mac and import audio from a cassette tape. How do I do that? I found what looks to be audio jacks in the back of the machine. One appears to be a speaker out jack. The other jack is a sideways pyramid facing another pyramid with a circle between them. I guess if I had been paying attention during Stargate Atlantis, I would know what this is the International symbol of. But I don't. Another jack is a symbol of a almost 1/2 circle with sound coming out of it. Maybe this is a headphone jack? I am guessing the two pyramid jack is audio input? If this is the case, I need to drive to Radio Shack and buy a plug that will fit it. What is this plug called? Is this the 1/4 inch banana/orange fruitcake hybrid? Or maybe the Phono-Scratch 1/2 inch mini twist-&-pull? I know it must have a name & size. So, don't I need to know the impedance of the imput of the audio jack in the Mac? Can I just adapt the RCA connector output of my cassette deck, to the proper jack in the Mac, & plug it in? Assuming I get that far, do I launch iTunes to import audio? When all of this is over & done, I am dropping this audio into iMovie. Any tips for the un anointed would be greatly appreciated.

Take a search around the MacWorld or MacAddict web sites. There have been several articles about how to capture audio. I do know that iTunes won't help. You 'll need to use something else. The articles should help with what that something is.

For audio work "on the cheap", I use Wiretap Pro from Ambrosia (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/) to capture the track from the source, then Felt Tip Software's Sound Studio (www.felttip.com) to edit. As for the audio line-in on the G4, I've had issues with noise related to the analog in. Others have described the audio capture quality of the G4's built-in line in port from "usable" to "garbage". I ended up using a USB audio interface (which gave me much better sound quality). Initially, I used a Griffin iMic (http:// www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/), but I ended up needing to do some better quality voice work (and needing XLR inputs for pro audio microphones), so I switched to M-Audio's MobilePRE interface (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MobilePreUSB-main.html) about 3 years ago. Never looked back, and I still use it to this day, although the MobilePRE's price tag (I paid about $250 for mine at the time) may be a bit stiff for a hobbyist/casual user; I suffer from technogadgetitis, so it's easy for me to fall into delirium and justify purchasing hardware that's a bit more expensive than what I really need, to my girlfriend's constant amazement (translated: I've used it maybe three or four times a year). In Jack's case, the iMic will probably suffice. And it comes with clear instructions for connections to line devices. Some people have success using the G4's analog in (read: the level of noise is low enough that they don't mind it). In my case, I like using the audio in other projects (Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Keynote), so using better audio interfaces results in less work cleaning out the audio afterwards. Also helps me justify the investment in the M- Audio box. ;-) On a sidenote, I have been surprised as to the flexibility of USB audio support since Panther; I've connected stuff like Plantronics USB headsets on my Powerbook G4 without needing drivers and the unit's mike and headphones have been instantly recognized by the OS. So you MIGHT be able to find a cheap PC USB audio interface that will work with the Mac. Good luck.

The bandwidth of the audio I am working with rolls off at about 7,500Khz. So I don't need something very high end. But I will be dropping it into iMovie & FCP. >Some people have success using the G4's analog in (read: the level of >noise is low enough that they don't mind it).

Also helps me justify the investment in the M- Audio >box. ;-) Most of my audio starts out as optical sound on a 16mm movie film. (I rebuild optical sound amplifiers for Auricon movie cameras for a hobby). About the only way I know to get that audio into my computer is to plug into the speaker and or headphone jack in my movie projector and then plug that into some device. I don't have a line level output on the movie projector. After I get my audio into the Mac, I would like to clean it up a little. It has a lot of hiss, and snap crackle & pop sounds. >So you MIGHT be able to find a cheap PC USB audio interface that will >work with the Mac. Good luck. I will nose around. One last question. What connector is analog audio input on the G4 tower Mac? It is not a 1/8" plug, I don't know what it is....???

I have saved the script both as a compiled script and an app. not at the same time however. But the rule I established won't run the script ( the script reads a message if the e mail is from a particular person). If I change the rule to play a sound instead of running the script all is well. So I assume the rule is valid. If I double click the script it will play as it should. So I guess the script is valid. What am I missing. The script editor I used is the one bundled with Jaguar as well. I have also saved the script to several different places (not at the same time) and while the path in the rule seems correct, the script will not run. Regards, Stu
