For the last few days, I have tried to search for an item at the iTunes
store. Before, when you display "show all" there were 3 pages of CD's on
display. Now only one page displays when I click "show all", and the
option to "go to next page" no longer exists?

What is the procedure to get iTunes to encode in bookmarkable AAC -
.m4b?  I've selected 'Remember Postion' when ripping, but still get
.m4a.  Can't figure it out, and have been using Amadeus to then convert
to .m4b.

I've been using, literally daily, in OS 10.4.9 an old filemaker 3 that
functions pretty seamlessly in classic. Any way to upgrade to current
filemaker, or suggestions for a different database that works with
current OS (including Intel-based, which we don't currently have but

Wondering if anyone has info on hardware and software requirements for new
OS Leopard.

I have an iMac G5 with  printer, an 'old' scanner, digital camera, &
sound system plugged in - using a Belkin 7-port USB hub.  I don't
remember how 'old' the USB hub is but --- sometimes it seems to work but

Safari 3.  If I try to print a PDF in Safari, it quits unexpectedly.
