So a friend of mine gets an Apple (G5 I think) and can't figure out how to copy a Music CD or even if his machine has the capability.
He asks me, because I can do pretty much anything with Windows. I go over to his house this afternoon and after a pretty frustrating hour and a half, I get a CD copied. But what I had to go through was so complicated that he was convinced (and me too) that he could not be trained in a reasonably short period of time.
I started with the Apple Help system (which was far more unfriendly, than I've been led to believe by other Apple users). This led me to a Function called 'Disk Utility' - This function frustrated me for about an hour - not intuitive at all. Anyway it basically has you insert the disk to be copied, and after clicking buttons for about a half hour I got the system to save the CD to disk (The help was not much help). Clicking on more buttons on this utility for another half hour, I managed to get the image burned onto a CD.
Question for you apple experts - Is there a simple utility on a MAC that allows you to copy a CD, that I could train my friend in on how to do this?
I have used dozens of Windows utilities and I have not found one yet that was as complex and non-intuitive as the Apple "Disk Utility". BTW my friend is not an idiot. He is a M.D. specializing in Internal Medicine. - Most highly regarded in the Minneapolis Area.
