I've got my Mac Mini hooked up to my TV set, still with the keyboard and
mouse, but I'm waiting for the touchscreen to be delivered, so I can remove
the KM and just have the V. I've started doing some AppleScripts to control
iTunes and to show videos through QT.

MS Word (version 10.1) running on my iMacG5 (1.6 GHz, 768 MB RAM,
OSX10.3.8) keeps crashing. It simply vanishes. No emergency backup of
the document I'm working on is available when I restart. The usual offer
of sending a crash report is not made.

One of the Mac users that I support has recently started having
problems with Mail.app and attachments.  When she clicks on a message
that contains an attachment nothing shows up in the Message window and
she gets the SBBOD.  All she can do at that point is force-quit the

Out of the blue, I am now getting little lock icons on the images I
export from Photoshop's "Save for Web" feature.  It doesn't seem to
affect the files at all, as I can open them just fine.  And Get Info
shows that the file isn't locked.  I'm just trying to figure out why

I am using Appleworks v.6 on OS X  (v.10.3.7).   The word processing
program is extremely sluggish. The spinning ball sometimes spins for ages
beforfe the typed letters appear on the screen. Where is the problem ?

I'm interested in Tiger, from what I've seen at Apple's website, but am
hesitant to purchase my copy right away.  I usually (with my Winboxes) wait
a few months after a new OS comes out because I'm fearful of things being
broken then having to wait on the fix, even if its only a ...

Hello, I want to crop and split some of my longer MP3 files at specific
points. Can I do this without converting them to another format. If I
use Sound Studio I have to convert MP3 to AIFF and then convert back
again. Am I losing any sound quality in doing it this way?

What's the chance of me getting a refurb Powerbook with the new Tiger
OS in the next two weeks?

Why do people brag about how great Macintoshes are?
I have a G4 tower and System 9.21 and I can't copy a file onto a CD
unless I buy a special program, such as Toast.

I lost a file recently when Apple Mail did an rm -rf on it's mbox
instead of moving it to the trash or something friendly like that. Is
there a way to recover files under OS/X with nothing (like Norton)
pre-installed? Anything freeware/shareware? Does OS/X immediately reuse

Hi, I am running Panther Server and have some System 9 clients. Is it
possible to configure Sherlock on System 9 (or any other method) to
search by content on the Server drives?
Thanks!

Can I use Terminal to replace all occurrences of / with - on my Mac?

Yeah, that's right... I bought a portable drive without knowing it would
refuse to take Mac files that have names incompatible with the PC

I recently saw software that was desinged to calibrate your monitor
(colors) and was wondering if it was worth the investment.  I have seen
in a previous "group" that calibrating a Mac's monitor can be done
"by way of the Monitors control panel, or Monitors System Preference in

Inadvertently, I made some incorrect entries early on in Address Book.
When I first typed in my local state, I forgot to hit the tab before
entering a zip code. Now, every time I enter the state, I have to hit
the delete button to rid the entry of a zip code. There are a few ...
