Hi. Does BBEdit have a keyboard shortcut (like control-apple-Oh or
something) for opening hidden (ones that start with a period) files?
TextWrangler doesn't, and that's become enough of a pain to make me
want to upgrade. Thanks.

On a dual-boot 1.25ghz G4, under "Classic" and Panther, Final Cut Pro
forgets to make sound. It's like it just...forgets. It ignores my volume
settings on the control strip or elsewhere, and just forgets it's supposed
to play back sound. That's about the only way I can describe it.

I just had a curious entry to my website's guestbook. A fellow says he
"found a couple of errors in the source code" and wanted me to test it in a
browser called "FastBrowser Pro." I've strived to make my site compatible
in all the major browsers (it even looks okay on the old ...

I renamed the volume on which my iTunes library lives.  Now iTunes has
lost all tracks.  How can I get it to update w/o losing all the metadata
such as ratings and playlists?

I've been a WordPerfect user sinc version 4.1 on the Amiga (and then onto
the Mac) and I'm looking for a native OS X application that's as nice to
use. I wish Corel would just put it on X but alas they haven't. Anyone have
any recommendations?

Here's the scenario -- the wife has obtained an in-concert DVD and she would
like to convert the audio from it into an audio CD to play in her vehicle and in
her CD player at work.
A Google search for a DVD audio ripper is a bit overwhelming. There are a number

All of this popped up the next day after loading 10.4.3:
Using Safari 2.0.2.(416.12), I go to my .mac page or my banking page
and these contacted websites will not accept my password as valid.  If
I run Internet Explorer (5.2.3) it accepts them just fine.

record sound)

When I'm in a channel but away from my computer for a while, and
someone messages me, is there any way of seeing the message/s I've
received while I've been doing something else? (assuming the message/s
have moved off the console)

I've had no response on the Miscrosoft.public.mac.entourage group with
my question, so I'm flying it here:
Entourage 11.2.1 (051004), Mac OS 10.4.2, iBook.
What in heck am I doing wrong?  When a message comes in with an

All the documents in my son's Documents folder have disappeared, have
searched using keyword search and no sign of them anywhere.  Any idea
how this could have happened and any way of recovering then (presumably
will need some rather fancy and expensive software). We have iMac

I was wondering if the software firewall for OSX 10.4 is supposed to
stop all "phone home" spyware? In other words do we really need to
install third party software or not? If we do, is Internet Cleanup (from
Allume Systems) better, or the shareware Little Snitch?

When did Pagemaker finally disappear?

I'm the only Mac user in my office, and for some reason I

print from Word, Outlook Express, etc., but not from the
Internet.

Today I've just started to get "Network stalled" messages in iTunes when
I am listening to streaming radio.
It happens to me under Tiger 4.2 and iTunes 6.0.1 and also under Panther
10.3.9 and iTunes 4.9. (With either small, medium or large buffers).
