Is there is a way to edit the Name/Artist details from .m4a files other
than changing them in iTunes ? iTunes is using CDDB when importing CDs
but the information can occasionally be wrong (spelling or artist name
in track name etc.) iTunes doesn't get the Name/Artist from the

I posted a question here last week concerning the Palm LifeDrive, and
no one answered. I figured nobody had any experiences with it. I
created a small review page of my own and published it on my web site
for future persons wondering the way I was. It includes pictures.

I ran into a problem where I think I need to establish a new product key for
Office 2004, but I cannot figure out how.
I recently bought a new Mac (Dual G5 Power Mac) and used the Firewire
transfer mechanism to copy all the files and applications from my old G4.

Real newbie here. I just created a poster in MS Word. Nothing fancy,
just some text and one photo.
I have to send it to some people; acceptable formats are PDF and JPEG.
Questions: How do I convert to those? Which one is better?

I have a question on Idvd's encoding.    I have some stuff that was 2
hours on the nose.   It encoded and there is a LOT of pixilization.  
I'm wondering if something like Final Cut (cheap version) might have
better encoding.  Or am I just trying to cram too much on a consumer

Does anyone know where I can download "Script Editor" for OS8, individually?
I have been away from my Mac for 6 years and after coming back, my

its internal CD is broken, so I cannot access my original OS8 CD ...

I've been backing up my DVD's by recompressing them with DVD2oneX or
DVDRemaster, and then burning them with Toast 6 Titanium.  Usually this
works fine, but I've got a couple of DVD's that have been giving me
problems.  I can copy them on to my hard drive with no problem, and

I created a Retrospect backup set, which I would now like to run on a
weekly schedule.  How does one automate such a pre-existing backup
set?
Thanks.

I would like to do a separate backup of all my Entourage email and
addresses.  But where are these files hiding?  Are they in an
accessible folder where I can get at them to do a backup?  THANKS.

So I've been playing .ogg files successfully for many iterations of
iTunes now thanks to the Ogg Vorbis Quicktime Components plugin.  But
with 5.0.0. and 5.0.1, it just doesn't work.  Whenever I try to play a
.ogg song it will actually freeze iTuens and I'll have to kill it

When I open my mail application I get this:The POP server
"mail.mac.com" rejected the password for user.  Then I type in my
password, but nothing happens. I get the same message again. So I went

I've just upgraded to Tiger and went hunting for a new version of
Norton Utilities or SystemWorks and my cursory search seems to show
that Symantec isn't going to or hasn't released a Tiger-compatible
version of Utilities/SystemWorks. Or did I miss something? (Even a

I have a slide presentation document with 11" wide X 8.5" high pages
that I want to print in reduced size (say 60%) with the slides appearing
in upright ("portrait") orientation on letter size 8.5" wide by 11" high
paper, one page per page, so that I can put the pages in a ...
