helps):

In the past I've *thought* Spotlight failed to find some documents when
I searched by content.  Yesterday I used Spotlight to search a certain
folder by content and found that the folder's content had apparently not
been included in Spotlight's index.

Weird thing.  When I switch between users I see a different background
when the cube spins just before the actual background is shown.  Is
there any way to avoid this?  It's obviously not a big deal, but does
take away from the "cool" factor of the spinning cube.  It is showing

Everytime I login on my new Macbook Pro, a process is started which is
listed as "(python)".   These processes are not cleaned up at logout: if
I login 10 times, 10 of them are setting around.  It's not a concern,

I just started emailing photos from my cell phone to my home email
address, but I'm finding that they all end up in the Junk folder. I

I'm a Mac man heart and soul, and I've spent a lot of time helping my
Mac friends keep their computers up and running and healthy. However,
lately I've been asked to help some friends with their Windows
problems, and I feel as if I'm all thumbs. And, even though this is a

I'm desperately soliciting suggestions from anyone about courses of
action I might take before breaking down and reformatting my internal
drive. Here's the situation:
I'm running a G5 iMac with OS 10.3.9 installed.

I have a bunch of 400 Gig HDs in a FireWire tower enclosure. One of

I am trying to install OS X (either 10.3 or 10.4) on a 2-3 old Macs --
an ibook300, an iMac333, and a b&w PowerMac 400. These systems have

In OSX 10.4.6, is there a keyboard shortcut to put the computer to sleep? I
can't seem to find it anywhere!
