I need someone to make me a hero to my wife. She has been using Olympus
3.2 software to download her Olympus camera to her iMac. She thinks she
inadvertently erased some of the files (or control panels or extensions)
for this software. She cannot find her original installation ...

I recently purchased a Brother HL-5250DN printer. I use Mac OS 10.2.8.
The printer had Postscript Emulation on the box. We're a weekly
newspaper and I like to output 65 line screen halftones. Well, it
doesn't seem possible to set the line screen on this "Postscript" printer.

I have several questions about iPhoto.

particular service.  Is this customizable or does this service have a
monopoly on all iPhoto services?

My wife recently got our first iMac. Since she already had people who
shared Windows Messenger with her, she installed it only to discover
that it doesn't have the capability that the Windows version has (for

I have downloaded episodes of LOST and DRESDEN FILES through iTunes.
Thinking I'd like to see the episode on my TV rather than watch it on my

I'm considering buying and iMac, and there are two processor options;
2.16ghz and 2.33ghz.  As the difference in price is quite large (UK £170) I

the faster processor?  Are there any online resources that ...

Folks,
I've downloaded an MP3 file which I would like to copy onto CD so I can
listen to it in the car as I drive around. But it's too big to go on one

I have a friend with a handicapped adult child.  The child uses an old
Performa 637CD with MacOS 7.5.  The parents have given their son a new

Is there a way to get dozens of ClarisWorks word processing files from
