Double-clicking a Photoshop file in the Finder will launch Photoshop or
bring it to the front if it is already running, but the file will not

I used the Firewire option to transfer all of my files from the old Mac to
the new one.  Entourage was copied as well, but when I try to run it I get

songs on to another computer. I have iTunes on that computer also and
would like to move it there. I do not have an iPod. Please Help. Thanks

I recently installed Stuffit Expander (9.01) on my eMac running Tiger.
I changed some of the File Mapping preferences within the program so
