Everytime I take a screenshot of a window and copy and paste I see a
black border. Why does SL do this and how can it be turned off? Tiger
did not act this way.

A friend says her Mac has a file (called TUD.EXE) in the recycle bin which
can't be deleted.
An online virus scan says it's a Win32 virus.  How can a Win32 file run on
her Mac?

Will some here please kill this rumor for me?
There seems to be a mini-riot in a Speech Recognition
moderated forum that I frequent right now, about the
rumor that the 800 pound SR gorilla "Nuance" is ripe

Is there a preference or 'defaults write' command that can be used to
set the extension that Apple uses for newly-created JPEGs?  I
appreciate any help.

I need to migrate some files off of an older Powerbook (possibly a Wall
Street, but maybe a PDQ) which has the old-style Laptop PC Card slots.
Over the years, a number of accessories were produced to go into those
slots, including things like USB cards, WiFi cards, etc.

I recently installed my third logic board in a MBP.  The first one was
done under a recall, but this one wasn't.  About a week later one of my
fans went out.  I have had to replace one battery, but I consider that
to be fairly normal.  The HD and DVD have been fine, knock on wood ...

Three of my sons are Mac enthusiasts. One gave me a Notebook for
Christmas.  Macs are of the finest construction and have
state-of-the-art electronics.  The OS 10.6 is much better than Windows ;
so much better that one of my sons, a computer programmer, uses it

I am looking a various Network Attached Storage options and would like to
hear from people with experience in using them in a MAC environment.
I want a device that would support 4 SATA drives, but might start out with
just 2.  Other desired features:

I have a B&W G3 that takes UNBUFFERED DIMM SDRAM Number of Pins: 168
NON-ECC PC-100 Max size per Dimm 256MB
My question is can I use PC133 256MB Dimms also with the same specs
but also that is a high density Dimm?

My MacBook doesn't charge the battery at all, but works off the power
adaptor only. Can I keep going this way indefinitely? I am trying to
wait for the new MacBook pro.

I have a Quantum Q 280 SCSI hard drive out of an original Mac II that
I want to get the files from. I eventually want to get the files to my
PowerBook G4 and as an intermediary machine I picked up a beige G3.
I selected this beige G3 because it has SCSI, ethernet, Safari and USB

Hi. I'm looking for a multi-function monochrome laser printer, ideally
for $150 or less.
I found this Canon model on Amazon but some reviewers claimed it's not
compatible with Macs:

Hi all;
A brother have MacbookPro 4.1 version with DVI output. I bought him DVI
- HDMI adapter (Bandridge) and HDMI cable. When we connect Macbook Pro
to TV on TV it says "Wrong format". We have tryed all resolution

This is a proposal for a newsgroup for Apple's iPad.  There has been some
discussion about it in various Apple related newsgroups (e.g.,
misc.phone.mobile.iphone, comp.sys.mac.system,and comp.sys.mac.comm), but
it is not fully applicable to any of them.

As often I am trying to help a friend whois across the Atlantic from me,
so it's entirely by phone. At times I sympathise with those who run help
desks, though I think her attempts to get help that way may have only
made things worse.

I am running OS 10.3.9 on a Blue and White G3. I have never been able
to get yahoo messenger to work. I ran across information about Jabber
not sure what it is all about. Is there a messenger application named
Jabber or is a web system that monitors chat services so to speak. Do

I need to get a new machine soon. Finances prohibit doing
anything adventurous. A Mac Mini would actually be more
powerful than my 6-year-old G5 (display, keyboard, etc.,
could just move over), and is very cheap. The Mini comes

I'm able to view the video on the following site with Safari, Opera, and
Camino (and Netscape Navigator 9), but not with Firefox; all on the Mac.  A
friend says he's not able to view it with Chrome on his Windows machine.
If you're running Firefox or Chrome on the Mac, could you ...

A friend gave me what appears to be a precursor to an Airport Express
(the receipt is dated (2000).  At first it showed up on my MacBook but I
couldn't access it.  Now it does not even show up.  I'm thinking it's
not worth the trouble messing with it; I might as well buy something
