Our consultants claim local mail is turned on and connected to Outlook
on our Windows server, but mail is not getting through.  Anybody know
anything about this?  On a laptop, you have to tweak the postfix files
and install qpopper, or some pop3 app.  Do you have to do the same ...

Is there a way to define a killfile filter based on the number of groups
something is posted to? I have joined the kill google groups movement,
which has greatly reduced the amount of guff I need to wade through. The
only things that still seem to be sneaking in are posts made to ...

Over the last few years, Adobe is the company I have grown to love to
hate for their maltreatment of their customers. They have blown
Micro$oft, the previous champion, out of the water with effortless ease.
Now Adobe releases Photoshop Express, a 'free' web-based version of its

recently I have upgraded my macbook from the Tiger operating system to
the Leopard one.
Unfortunately from that moment, the applications iMovie and iDVD do
not work and when I start, for example iMovie, I get the following

I've found out how to make finder default to showing hidden files but
what I'd really like is the ability to toggle this ability.  I'm even
willing to use a finder alternative (if it's free or very inexpensive).
Tiger on my notebook and Leopard on my pro if that makes any ...

I am upgrading from OS 10.4.11 to 10.5.2.  I had been running SD! 2.1.4
because 2.5 was not working right for me.  I tried 2.1.4 and everything
worked fine except the "Copy Now" button was ignored.  I tried 2.5 and
had the same result.  Copy Now is sort of basic to running this ...

I have spell checking turned on but it isn't doing anything.  Is
something required to enable this?
As an aside, I went from 10.2 to 10.3 to 10.4 and don't recall ever
running into as many gotchas as I have going to 10.5.  Everything, as

Can anyone tell me an easy way to publish a site created
with iweb to Google apps (site).  Google does not allow
subdirs, so the 'publish to folder' in iweb creates multiple
folders that Google gags on.  Without mucking around in the

If I use Mac Mail with Entourage I can use an smtp server other than Mac's
and this in turn allows me to use my own domain email address (me@my
domain.com) rather than my somewhat complicated Mac Mail address.
It seems however that I cannot do this with Mail App as this will only ...

Folks, I'm stuck. One upon a time I had a good utility for finding a
text string inside any folder. Now it's gone and I need it.
The utility did not have an intuitive name ‹ its name did not give away
any idea of what it did. That makes any Google or VersionTracker search

I am trying to get local mail working.  On 10.4 I used qpopper and it
looks like I need that on 10.5 as well.
I downloaded 4.0.9 to run on 10.5.2, because 4.0.5 won't work.  However,
I am at a loss as to what I have to do to get this to work on 10.5.  It

What's been published on how to use this?  Any web sites?  It is a cool
app but I can't begin to figure out how to make the best of it.

That's Numbers as in iWork. The printer seems to be processing for 60
seconds or so and then just stops with nothing having been printed.
All other apps print fine. Any ideas?
Thanks

Long time PC user who is seriously thinking of moving to a MAC and
running either Parallel or Fusion for apps available only for PC's.

Found out that some of my printers- including a Canon MP390 are not

I'm not sure if this counts as a bug or not, but in iCal (OSX.5.2),
when I create an event, open the event dialog box, there is one bit of
strangeness I see. If I select the alarm pop-up menu, and tell it to
give me alarm before the event, I find there are now 2 alarm pop-up
