The istore is ignoring my poscast categories. Does anyone know of a news
group or website or telephone number or anything where I can get some
help ? Should I just post the problem here even though it really isn't
the place ?

I've just come across a strange problem. I'm not sure if it's related

"Some of the songs in the iTunes music library were not copied to the

I have run into some websites that seem to crash FireFox, Safari or
anything running on a non Mickeysoft os. I do not understand why people

It's open source, comes with source, you can roll your own. Being a
purist and all, I did.

I have been trying to write a DVD, which seems to error
out afetr a significant portion of the movie is written
to the disc. A google search indicated to have atleast
20Gb hard-disk free, but that didn't help either.

I downloaded a program which requires X11 to run. I ended up installing a

Photoshop Elements came with my scanner. I like its simple interface and
might start using it for photo management. Is Photoshop Elements
installation totally separate from regular Photoshop (v7)? IOW, if I

My friend is having a problem where iTunes does not seem to let him
burn CDs, and the reason it gives is that "the songs in this playlist

one standard high quality mp3 4.4 MB song in the playlist to be burnt.

My Mail is quitting unexpectedly when I tell it go get mail. My assumption
is that there's some corruption in the fabric of the fourth dimension -
oops, no that's Donnie Darko. Uh, my prefs are corrupted.
Where are my prefs and if I trash them, is all my existing mail trashed as

What happens if the machine to which your iPod is authorized dies? Can
you de-authorize it some other way?

I've been rooting around in tiger for the last month and have stumbled
on something which seems odd and a pain in the butt:  I cannot highlight
text in TextEdit, Safari, or Mail and drag it to the desktop as a text
clipping. As soon as I click on the selected text to drag it, the ...

I'm somewhat familiar with FM but have not been able to figure out how
to do what would be the equivalent of a DO loop in a programming
language such as BASIC, using FM Pro 7.  I've got a situation which

How can I tell Safari 2.0.2 how to open PDFs?  It always asks and I have
to select a program like Acrobat Reader.  It ought to be possible to
have a default program, but I can't find anything in preferences.
