I have a wma audio file that refuses to be loaded into iTunes. Is there
a free software (as it is only one file) that would convert wma to (say)
mp3 (or any other format that iTunes would take)?

I have a series of 50 photos of a building site. I took one photo a week
as the construction progressed. They are from the same spot and pointed
at the same spot.
I would like to put all of them in sequence and morph them into a movie.

This is great:  After the Keynote I upgraded to OS X 10.4.4 and found
they fixed the most annoying X11 bug!
Before, Command-Tab didn't bring the X11 window(s) to the foreground --
you had to click on a particular X11 window to bring it forward or use

Last night I started a software update, which listed three items to
install, QT 7.0.4, iTunes 6.0.2, and OS X 10.4.4.  The downloads went

Hi, all.
A number of 'hidden tracks' from various of my CDs are over twenty
minutes long, with five minutes of music at the start, and three at the
end.  With shuffles, that extra ten mb matters some.

When I try to connect to the Itunes store, I get the error message

connection is active. Try again."

When I start the install it tells me that essentals can not install
because of RAM requirements. But it lets the install happen. Did it
install the whole OS or what? What are the essentals? Can I install

I received the following email note from a co-worker this morning and I
won't be able to physically look at her computer until Monday.
Here is her problem statement:

Can someone tell me where I can get Contivity VPN client for Apple

Is there any type of reporting software for OSX that works similar to
Crystal Reports?  I need to create some nice charts/graphs from data,
but I'm not finding anything that's even close to Crystal for OSX.  The
data is all types -- from databases like MS SQL and MySQL, from Excel,

I've been using the tin 1.6.0 newsreader for years, which I run from
Terminal (I'm posting this with it now!)  I first built it under Jaguar
and have moved it along all the updates to 10.4.3.
tin 1.8.0 is now out but I seem to be having trouble installing it.  It

I wonder if anyone can help me with Toast 7 Titanium om my Powerbook
running OSX 10.3.9.
I bought Toast 7 specifically to clear a pile of mpegs from my hard
