Is anyone else having this issue in 10.4.2?  The incoming-mail alert is
failing ­ intermittently. I thini it's when I have a new mail
composition window open. It includes a rule I've written to work-around
the problem.

I use both THoth and MT Newswatcher 3.4.  Thoth I use primarily to dl
binaries files and MTNW mostly for text reading (no reason except
personal preferences set to show larger text size for MTNW for easier
reading on screen and Thoth to show larger numbers of numerous parts of

According to Apple's web pages, I should be able to import unprotected
WMAs into iTunes.  However, I can't figure out how to do this.  I have
unprotected WMAs (I know they're unprotected since they play on WMP 9
on Mac OS X) and I've tried dragging and dropping onto iTunes as well

Every once in a while (when I start a significant project)  I'm reminded
that there has never been an update to MacProject.
Right now I'm building a large project plan using this 20-year-old
software on an older machine running OS 9 (It doesn't run under Classic.)

I purchased TTP 4.x and realized that it could not defrag my HD from a CD
(unlike older versions under OS 7-9) so I created a E drive (a soft
partition).  Unfortunately OSX (unlike older versions of the Mac OS) wants

accessed and all appears fine in that window. But, nothing new is shown in
the Browser for that subscription. I have tried to ...

There's probably some information readily available, but I'm still
braindead from Burning Man, and I can't find it.
I have a 55-second clip of Joan Baez singing a fragment of Swing Low Sweet
Chariot at the Burn, and its a little over 380MB as a QT video. Downgrading

I see some RAR archives are now available in ONE single file called
AutoUnRAR.  Will these work on a Mac?  Harsh experience leads me to
suspect it's just for 'the other platform'!
Thanks in anticipation

I'm running Tiger on an iMac G5. Although AAC is the preferred format
in iTunes, my Mac always assigns a Real Player 10 icon to AAC files.
Under no circumstances will they open in iTunes (I believe I tried
everything).

I have OS X 10.2.8 and downloaded the freee Real Player app tpo watch
Bloomberg TV. The download went okay but when I try to play I get this
error message that says I need a plug in, audio/x-pn-realaudio, which I
can't seem to find anywhere, at least not easily. What gives?

  I've just about finished setting up my sister's new iBook G4 (Tiger
10.4), and have a question about dowloading files and their extensions.
When I go to http://files.support.epson.com/pdf/sc740_/sc740_u1.pdf and
click on "Save As" under "File", I get "sc740_u1" (NO extension) ...
