I've been using MT-NewsWatcher for years. All of a sudden, for the past
few days, it's been asking me for authentication, when I tell it to
check for new articles. If I go away for a few minutes and hit Command-Y
again, I'm not asked for authentication. Anyone know what's ...

Have video that says it's DIVX. When played in QT Player with DIVX 5.2.2
codec installed, no audio.
I saw on videohelp.com that a bug in DIVX means MP3 audio won't play.
(Presume, therefore, this video might have MP3. How to know?).

That title is lousy I admit.  I'd like to be able to copy the data of a
rented DVD when I don't have time to view it before taking it back, on
to my hard drive, then view it later.  I think I used to be able to do
this in Windows VLC.  But it won't read them in OSX.  I'm not ...

How is it?  Can it filter articles crossposted?  Any problems with it?  
Outlook Express has many features in Windows that make it an excellent
newsreader and other that make it suck.  Just depends on what you need.  
Except for crossposting filtering, OE rocks.  So I was wondering ...

I am trying to change the boot panel. I know where it is suppose to me
located, but the systemstarter is not located there. Which is suppose
to hold quartzdisplay.bundle and then you are suppose access Resource.

Was there an AOL 9 release for OS X or was the first AOL release for OS
X version 10?

In OS 9 you could select a list of files/folders in the finder and copy
the listing to a text document with drag and drop.  I can't figure out
how to do the equivalent in OS X.
Drag and drop to Text Edit inserts the contents of the files or an

to another disk, and now a lot of things are screwed up. I think he lost
all his play lists, or something similar. It's on my son's machine, so I
don't know the details.
I understand this is a known "bug" (aka HUGE blithering screw-up); can

Can anyone tell me if iPhoto 6 supports burning to USB DVD burners?  Or
if iPhoto 6 can "burn" to a disk image?  10 minutes on Google didn't turn
up the answer.
TIA

What happens if you schedule more than one script to start at the same
time?
Any difference if it is the backup computer or a client?
What if the scripts don't start at same time but the first has not

Tiger Help problems have had some postings recently, particularly from
Dorayme.  Most suggestions centred around trashing the com.apple.helpui
folder in Cashes.
Having tried all the suggestions, nothing worked, so I gave up for a

A PeeCee application.  Their web site says there is a Mac Version
     http://www.infosolutions.com/macprods.htm
but development has been discontinued and it is no longer available
from them.

In iPhoto 5, pictures taken with cameras such as Casio Exlin-Z40 and
Nikon D70 put extra stuff in the Photo.library file so that starting and
quitting iPhoto 5 with my 3,000+ photo library takes about 3 minutes each.
Does iPhoto 6 fix this?

I'm trying to figure out how to make large audiobook mp3 files
bookmarkable for use on an iPod mini.  I've googled around and seen a
lot of detailed descriptions about how to do this if you are a PC user,
but I'm at a loss as to what to do as a Mac user.

Did I dream this up? I thought there was an discount offer from Apple
for persons who bought a new Mac and MS Office for Mac during January,
2006. Can't find it anywhere (except UK referenes). If you have a link,
would you be kind enough to post it?
