OK - I'm going nuts. Sometimes my eDonkey v1.3 on OS 10.3.9 works, then
it doesn't and every time I play around with my D-Link DI-604 router
settings I just end up making things messier and messier with multiple
settings. And I've done the System Preferences - Network - Sharing - ...

"There was a problem writing to disk. Disk may be full. Mailbox will be

I've got some .cwk files from a colleague who uses Appleworks (don't
know what version and can't find out for a couple of days). I tried to
open them in both Keynote and Pages. Pages won't even entertain the

Little Snitch and when it comes to it I generally say No (a girl has to
be careful).

Hi. How do I force Safari to always use Lucida Grande on any web page I

How can I create a distribution list in either Mail or Address Book, so
I can send emails out to a regular group in one fell swoop?

I think I have deleted an iPod library. I've installed new iTunes
software recently and on plugging in the iPod, got a message 'this iPod
is linked to a different library, do you want to use this library'.
well, it was late, I was v tired, I chose 'yes' which was a mistake.

I recently installed DVDSP3 and can't find templates in Templates
window... I checked if files are physically present on the hard drive
and yes, they're sitting in /Application Support/DVD Studio Pro/ Templates/
Tried to move them to ~/Application Support/DVD Studio Pro/ Templates/

I had been using it by selecting a word, then control-clicking or going to the
Services menu, to get the definition in a Dictionary window. Dictionary.app
started running if it was not already, and stayed running.
I then assigned a keystroke to "Look Up in Dictionary". When I ...

About 4 months ago i purchased Quicktime Pro 7 for 30 bucks, i gave
them my info and they sent me an email with the registration code in
it. However, the other day i noticed i had spelled my frickin name

Is there a command line version of /Applications/Dictionary.app? Thanks, PaulN

Quick question.  All of a sudden my mail app doesn't work. It works fine
on my ibook and on the web page (of course) but on my sawtooth G4 I get
