I've had to re-install Virtual PC 5.0; so far, so good.  I've
still (miraculously) got my bit of paper with the serial number on.
However, I couldn't find any backed-up copies of the intermediate
updaters (i.e., to update 5.0 to 5.04).  All the web links

I often quickly offload the contents of a memory card into iPhoto, and
then return some time later (sometimes MUCH later) to album them. I
know that in the few thousand photos I have, there are some without
albums. Some rightly so because they are crap, and others that I want

I have tried to install an OS9 application from a CD onto my new eMac
with no success. It says "Can Not Locate Installer CD." When I click
the installer it opens in the Classic environment, but when I try to
install I get the aforementioned error message. The application's tech

Are there any apps for editing MP3s files?  Can this even be done?  In
other words, I have a big MP3 file and want to cut out parts of it and
put the rest into a new MP3 file.
Thanks.

I've haphazardly collected music on a partition here, an external drive
there...And I'm I'm looking to consolidate my music onto a drive in a
new PC. Any tips or strategies?? I'm sure there will be several
unexpected complications...Thanks.

I love my Macs (TiBookG4 + iMacG5), but 3 tiny things annoy me:
1- Apple mail - while beautiful - eats away all free memory and does not
release it/ does not quit [TiBook only]
2- Adobe Acrobat 6 Professional when applying update patch becomes

Print Explosion Deluxe, will not start up after upgrading to the newest
verison (2.0.7).  Deleting the preference did not solve the problem.  
Running MacOS 10.2.8.  Has anyone had this problem, if so what is the

I archive all my mail into mailboxes, one per month.  I recently
installed an external hard drive to back up my data and want to make
sure these archives are safe on the other drive in case my Emac goes
down.  I have gone to my library folder and copied the folder called

Anyone have a link for instructions on how to transfer my mail from my
old iBook to my new one?  I tried dragging and dropping the Mail folder
(replacing the new one), but no luck (this works great for other apps
like Safari, Explorer, Newswatcher, but not Mail). Importing's not

I've got two Macs at home-- a desktop upstairs and laptop for
downstairs use.  
It so happens that, over the past year or so, I've ended up entering
some things into the address book on one, but not on the other.  (Some

Haven't been able to find this info online -- does Pages handle Unicode?  
Also: does it do easy scripting (I'm comparing it to WordPerfect here),
and can it cleanly import Word .doc files?
(N.B.: It is tricky to Google for "iWork", since their algorithm returns

I have a small problem with iTunes. When I play my music using iTunes
it plays corupted. It keeps skipping little bits and it is very
annoying to lisen to. When I use any other player it works fine so I
know its not the actuall mp3 files. Can anyone help?

What OS X macro software can be used to control menus in applications? I
know that QuickKeys can, but it appears that DoThisNow can't (other than
having Applescript handle it). Any other macro programs that I've missed?
Thanks.
