I have a question about if I get a virus on Windows XP using
Parallels.  Let's say I do get a virus though on the Windows side and
it wipes out a lot of files, etc.  Whatever damage the virus does is
that limited to my Windows side meaning it would potentially wipe out

A few days ago I picked up an AirPort Express base station.  It works
good - most of the time. Somes times, when my MacBook wakes from sleep,
I have a renegade airport process that takes up 99.9% of the CPU.  My
AirPort card worked just fine on my old 802.11b base station for weeks

Is it possible to send an e-mail to everyone in my address book.  I am in the
process of changing my e-mail address and find the thought of individual
e-mails exhausting.

I'm looking for a sticker (preferably removable with no leftover
residue) that would go over the apple logo on my macbook pro - any
recommendations?
I enjoyed the old school rainbow one at

Hi Im hoping someone can guide me in the right direction.    This is my
project:   I have a bunch of different video's which I need to combine

I have my new C2D MBP on order and am a switcher from Windows XP and
am wondering if there's any must have software out there, software
that many mac users have. I know with Windows there are a few like
this. Of course I know the mac has more built in programs and is

I really like the iPhoto interface and usefulness, but unfortunately
it's not quite what I need for my photo collection, even with tools
like iPhoto Buddy.  Can anyone recommend a similar product (freeware is
kind of a requirement) where the key difference is that I can maintain

Any advice will be gratefully received!
CS (not CS2) has been working fine on a G5 OS X 10.4.8 (4 x 2.5 Ghz
PowerPC 8GB Ddr2 SDRAM).
Suddenly it stopped working. Photoshop 8 wouldn't open. Acrobat 6

Anyone seen this before?  In itunes 7, when I import a folder of mp3s I
get duplicates - each song appears twice on the import.  Deleting
either to leave a single one gives the "do you want to send this to the
trash?" message, which I say "yes" to.  If I do this for all tracks

I have Office 2000 (shame on me) running on a newer iBook with 10.4.
Today Word froze, as it sometimes does when I open a new file and begin
typing into it really quickly. So I had to force quit, and I seem to
have lost a file I had created about a half hour before and typed a

I'm running OS 10.4.8 on a MacBook Pro, and I just updated to Firefox
2.0. Now I can't seem to do something that I always used to do: When
clicking on a link, I like to hold down the mousepad thingy until a
menu pops up with options like "Open in a new window." What happened?

I am on an iBook G4 OS 10.4.  I like downloading Emoticons aka smileys
from sites.  I recently viewed one in the Preview app and it meed it up
so that it now doesn't move.  How do I use Preview App without this
happening?  Thank  Beth

I'm not having much luck getting iTunes album cover art from Apple or
Amazon (too many old, Eastern European classical CDs that neither iTunes
Store nor Amazon have heard of). However with the new views in iTunes 7,
it would be nice to have more than about 1% of my albums having ...

Well I get my first Mac on Tuesday, a C2D MBP.  I'll be selling my IBM
thinkpad as I convert from Windows to Mac. Yet there are some Windows
programs I'll use for quite some time so I know I want to run Windows
XP also.  I had originally planned on running BootCamp but I play few
