I've run into a very annoying problem and have not found a solution.
Normally, if I have an image or artwork that can be viewed with
Preview (even AI files, I discovered to my surprise) it is extremely
easy to save them as good-quality PDF files.

When checking on Time Machine by opening System Defaults
and clicking, I've noticed that many time the padlock is
open again. It happens a lot without me explicitly opening
it with the password. I thought is was special to Time

Dear friends:
I have just bought an 250 GB external USB/Firewire drive to use it to
receive image backups of my hard drive (both Mac and the BootCamp
partitions) using SuperDuper or CarbonCopy. The drive came already

I am happily using Time Machine, but while I wait for
David Pogue's Leopard Missing Manual, I have a few
questions.
When does it decide to back up? I notice that sometimes

I downloaded the latest version of QuickTime (7.3.0) on my Intel iMac.
I can no longer view the QuickTime movies on web pages such as the New

be furnished in a manner which would include the Album Release Date.
In the default columns I now get in the application, there is a "bell"
icon, for Ringtones. I could care less about whether a song is

After a troublesome Leopard installation which reauired an archive and
reinstall, I'm unable to locate the stickies widget and the data it
contained. Where is it located and how many files are needed for me to
recover the data? Any help would be appreciated. BTW I'm using a G5 imac, ...

I created a DVD with slides, music, and movie clips from a camera.  
When done I burned it and deleted most of the files in it. I thought I
could just import from the DVD, make corrections, and burn the
corrected version.  Oh, Oh, I can't get the stuff off the DVD.

Every time I view a PDF file on line with FIrefox, a copy gets saved
permanently to my desktop, which now has hundreds of unwanted docs on
it.  I haven't figured out how to turn this off.  I only want to keep
copies if I explicitly 'save', similar to the way things work when I

We just upgraded Parallels on my wife's iMac.  The good news is that
more of her arcade style games run.
The bad news is that all of her full screen games are no longer full
screen, taking a tiny part of her 24" screen.   I posted this in

I currently use Firefox but I've been tempted by Safari because it's
noticeably faster at rendering pages, it's a Cocoa application
(or so I believe), it seems to render more pages correctly than
Firefox, and it's smoother at playing video. At least, those seem to be
