I tried following instructions at Mozilla but they did not seem
correct.
I found no way of making Thunderbird my default client unden the tools

i would like to just simply get
all the contacts (+kategories), all the mails
all the settings from time to time
from one entourage (2001) to the other (X).

Hi all, the name's Peter, and I've just subscribed to this group.
Greetings to you all. I've just taken an iMac G5 out of the box as the
first step on a migration from windoze... be warned I am a total newbie
to any mac osx, which sure helps as I have an immediate problem..LOL..

I wonder if anyone can make a suggestion. I need to create
pdf files of multi-page reports which I can email that are
not of a humongous size.  I can use efax to do so, sending
myself faxes, keeping a copy and forward one on, and the

Motorola has a program to d/l ringtones/pics/dates. etc, etc. But it is
for PC's. Does anyone know of a comparable prog for the Mac?
I'm pretty ignorant of anything at this time.....

Has anyone used both? Would you switch from Eudora to Thunderbird?
TIA

I'm trying to create a cross platform CD (Mac/Windows/Linux) using
hdiutil.
I can create the CD with everything working exactly the way I want it

I am unable to convert any of the downloaded music on iTunes to mp3's,
even though the option is offered under the Advanced menu.  (I'm trying
to put together some flash animations with music, and can't access any
of the iTunes stuff.  I'm assuming they need to be converted to mp3,

Well, I'm one of those "trashy" desktop people that have loads of files
sitting on the desktop on almost every day, and I see in OS 10.4 that
when I save docs to the desktop, I have files that end up sitting under
the dock that resides at the bottom of my screen. This is rather ...

I don't understand why Apple doesn't allow users to download
earlier versions of their software.  I have an old Mac that was still
at 6.4, and I was about to update it to 6.5.2.  I have no intention of
updating to 7.0, so now it seems that I'm stuck with an older version

Everytime I try to play a video Quicktime grabs it and I see the spinning
wheel of death.  I'd like to purge Quicktime off the system entirely unless
someone can think of any use for it.  VLC does videos flawlessly - Quicktime
has never been able to play a single video!  Suggestions ...

I'm fairly new to Macs (only purchasing my powerbook last week) and I'm
currently using Mplayer OS X to play my movie files. When doing this I
have my TV plugged into the S-Video out port and then I'm happily able
to have the TV showing the movie full screen, while the laptop screen

Is there any magical way to turn off the annoying pause iTunes has between
playing tracks? With tracks that blend into one another (such as on 242's
Pulse) it breaks the flow of the music. I've had this problem with Windows
players too but honestly it is possible to do this properly ...

I have a handful of MP3 files that won't import to iTunes no matter
what I try.  They play fine in Quicktime and have a file suffix of
.mp3.  When I drag them to an iTunes window, though, nothing happens.
There's no error message or anything.

I remember when my daughter surprised me by capturing her voice a
decade ago under os 8.*  Now I have a client who wants to capture her
daughter's voice on her powerbook to add to alert / warning messages. I
thought it would be no-brainer, but now I see I can't figure it out. Am
