I use Q2005 for OSX.  I did use Q2001 until last year.  It seems that backing
up and then uploading to my FTP server has gotten more difficult in the 2005
version.  For example I cannot upload the file dikrectly like I could with
the old Mac OS (missing data and resource forks).  So ...

I created two, multiple session DVDs which I want to combine into one,
with menus.
The closest thing I could find was DVD2oneX, but there seems to be a
catch 22.  Either I can take one full DVD with menus or I can combine

Having finished my first short movie in iMovie as best I could, I'm
trying to burn it to DVD using Toast.  The only way I see to get the
whole movie in as a continuous entity is to take the entire Quicktime
movie from the Media Browser to the video Content Area.  Otherwise it's

I'm looking for software that is the equivalent of a printed world
atlas. Type in the name of a country or continent or city and get a map
of the area. I don't need satellite images (like Google earth) - just

I've just ordered a new Mac (intel Mini) to replace my Windows XP box.
I can easily network them together, but i was unsure of what
files/folders I needed to copy to have iTunes on my mac fully updated
the same as the old PC.

When transferring blocks of photos to a CD we get message: "The
selected items cannot all be put into the same location because at
least one of them is busy."
What does that mean?  How can we overcome it?

A friend who's a computer newbie just bought a Sony Vaio laptop, which
has both Firewire and USB 2.0, and I'm recommending that she get an
external OWC drive for backup cloning/incremental-cloning. I use
SuperDuper! on my Mac, which I find works perfectly and easily.

Hi all, I noticed Safari will display a list (like a scrollable
pop-up--pretty convenient) of previously searched terms for sites that
utilize search fields.  But what if I want to clear it?  How do I go
about doing that?  Is there a single cache file I can delete?

I'm trying to add credits at the end of my (Imovie HD 5.0.2) movie
using one of the 4 "scrolling" titles, but I can't figure out why my
text isn't shown on separate lines as I've entered them.
The problem seems to show up in all 4 scrolling title options, but

Anyone know about a web based VNC to control a Mac over the port 80.
Similar products for Windows would be "Live Support" by Blue Squirrel,
or the Webx software. I've googled this but have not found a solution so
far. Timbuktu and Chicken of the VNC are great, but I need something ...

Toast has a limit of 99 songs per DVD. Does anyone know how to go
beyond this limit? DVD's will hold far more than 99 MP3's.
Thanks,

I know iTunes lets you enter lyrics as part of a song's file. That's
all well and good, but what about the iPod? How can I get the lyrics
displayed on its screen?
