My recent adventures in Mac OS X/BootCamp/Parallels land.
All I wanted to do was to legally remove a $900 app' from a MacBook that
I sold, in order to install that expensive app' into a new MacBook.
Very close shave, very close indeed, dang near lost my $900 investment

I'm trying to print to a HP1315xi being shared by a Win2K machine on
my network. The print jobs from my OS X v10.3.9 iMac are getting stuck
in the print queue on the Win2K machine which otherwise prints fine.
Also, I tried deleting one of the two print jobs pending. It shows

I've been looking and looking and keep on downloading "grey" themes  
only to find out its only the border that's grey, not the background.  
Others have a black background, which is totally useless in many apps.  
Does anybody know of a light to medium grey background (for the ...

So, I've got what's hopefully an easy one. How do you mute the 'ta-da'
sound when starting the Mac (iMac with OS X)? None of the choices in
System Preferences - Sound seem to do the trick.
Thanks in advance,

My primary mail server for my domain is a anti-spam server located
elsewhere. That mail server then sends the mail to my server.
What I'm looking for is the IPFW rules to ONLY allow a port 25
connection from the anti-spam server.

I was trying to open a few RAW photos with Preview.  Using a PPC
1.25ghz Mini, 1 gb ram, 7200 rpm full size hard drive with IDE adapter
(not the notebook drive).  It takes about 30 seconds to open one 7mb
RAW photo.  Is this normal?  Do I need to load all of them into a

Ever since I upgraded to 10.4.9 on my Al Powerbook (1.25GHz) I've
noticed that many programs launch *much* slower (e.g. Firefox: 45 sec to
launch compared to about 5 or 10 before), take longer to switch to or do
certain tasks. Even quitting can take really long (e.g. Adobe ...

My original Photoshop was PS5 (Classic). My updated PS is CS2 in OsX.
What do you do when updating to the next version on a Intel Mac. Do not
the updaters look for an old version before they will update? I would
think the classic installers would also not work on an Intel Mac to ...

Strange situation using Xerox 19" LCD monitor with Mac mini at home.
Somtimes (always?) when starting from off position, it is difficult to
link computer with monitor. After several tries and keyboard
selections - I get success. No rhyme nor reason.

I am having problems figuring out what all the keyboard controls are.
Is there a cheat sheet somewhere listing all the various controls? In
particular I am trying to figure out how to select multiple documents
at one time to attach to an email.  I looked under keyboard shortcuts

The Icon in my menu bar for my CD & DVD drives disapearred. They will
open of the keyboard commands. So, how do I get them back. (Under
another account, the icon is still there.)
Thanks

Suddenly, my MPEG videos no longer play sound in iTunes.
MP3s play sound without any problem.
I haven't played any music videos since March 19th
(according to the "Last Played" column for "Movies" under "Library"

After the Apple Store in Santa Monica salesman swore up and down that
the Mighty Mouse could be programmed to switch between documents (the
most important add-on functionality for me because I often have to
move back and forth between open documents), I succumbed and purchased

Is it okay to share chargers between a MB and MBP? I only ask because
their wattages are different on the charger itself...

Does a 15" MacBook Pro come with a two-button mouse now?  Do apps pay
attention to the right click?
Sorry, I realize this seems like a troll.  It's not.  The tech specs
on Apple's website talks about the scroll trackpad, but no mention of
