hi group. Happy New Year. I have large iMovie files, converted to iDVD.
I want to save space on my hard drives. Any ideas about how to do this.
i.e. disk image, archive of the iDVD files, or convert to QT?
I want to be able to burn the DVDs again and again, and not edit them.

How about a remote control like the one for my CD player,
that plugs into a USB slot (or whatever) on the PowerBook,
and can be used like a CD player (pause, next, volume, etc.)

Hi all, kind of new to OSX. I'm wanting to set up an event that would
run hourly on ICal and it seems that I can only choose New Event, and
then set it up for daily or weekly, but not hourly.
I know I can do it manually, but that would take forever (even doing

I'm running into a VERy weird problem.  I got 5 spam messages, not an
uncommon thing, but when I select the 5 messages in the Inbox and click

random, one or more of these will get duplicated in the "first name"
field.  It is a pain to have to go in and remove it.

I'm planning to get a new Powerbook in the near future.  Currently I
have a 4-year-old TiBook, and I never updated by iLife apps, so I'm
still using iPhoto 2.  When I migrate to the new system, will my iPhoto
2 libraries be compatible with iPhoto 5?  If not, what will I need to ...

So for $99 a year is it worth it?
A rep at Apple told me that idisk under OSX is like a FTP server, except

useful, but I see Quicksilver quietly quit when I want to use it. Is

Hi all, I purchased a used G5 for a great price.  Only problem is that
when I tried to run a game on it, the game wanted "classic" to be
installed.  So I tried switching to classic with the "9" in the top
right corner of the display, but it said it can't because the
