How do i switch Mail to MSN on my macbook/mini?
Here is why
in 2006 i bought a .mac account
in 36 days its over

Tonight I did some cleaning using Tiger Cache Cleaner, and afterward I
noticed that some of the menus in my apps were a lot wider (e.g.,
bookmarks and window menus in Safari). How can I fix this and get them
back to normal?

I've hooked my Macbook up to the Samsung LCD LNT4665F
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000NVLQ72/smartreview35-20)
through Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter to HDMI cable.  The maximum output shown
in the display preferences is 1080i.  Is there any way to make it output

I assumed .mac was about having access to web-based email, calendar,
contacts etc and being able to sync data with the desktop clients in
os x. So for example, I'm outside and want to make an appointment in
my calendar so I go to an internet cafe, logon to my .mac account,

I had an inquiry about a gray screen I recently experienced with a G4
Titanium Powerbook 867 (more fully described when posted under inquiry
to some Mac groups: "Gray screen Powerbook G4 867, doubtful hardware
problem...") that I could not figure out since the drive would show on

I have to say that I was not all that whelmed by Job's keynote about
Leopard today.  He said that he would show ten of 300 new features.  
Most of those ten features were rehashes of what he showed at last

I don't quite know what generalized, errant behavior the below
suggests, so I'm just going to describe my own specific experience.
I explore a lot of music online, using those commonly provided
30-second soundclips. Whether it's via iTunes, Amazon, AllMusic or a

I have a Mac Book Pro, running the latest system 10.4.9.
It has FileVault on on my account (I need it).
Last night it said it needed to recover free space, and it ran since
then.

I tried to install safari beta on my machine and it crashed. Since then
no apple app is working anymore. Nor mail, nor safari that I retrieved
from another machine, nor iTunes etc.
Please help ! What can I do?

The Superdrive on my iMac G5 1.9GHz (the last G5 edition of the iMac)
has tragically met its untimely demise, and I need something to
replace it with. Since it is available at a local store, the Plextor
PX-755UF seems to be what I want, but I figured that you guys were the

Hi everyone, I ran into problem where all of my system setting
disappeared in a blink of an eye.  I was using firefox and noticed all
my setting was gone.  So I did a reboot, but after that all my setting
was gone!  Keychain, software keys, everything!  I can see in the my

Is it normal for only one webcam compatible app to be able to display
the webcam at a time?  Occasionally I have multiple chat apps going,
and it would nice to be able to broadcast to all simultaneously.  But
it seems like this is not possible.  Or did I miss something? I've

Here is a hypothetical situation for you.
You have a block of steel (6" by 6" by 6") that's 500 degrees, Kelvin.  
You have another block of steel (3" by 3" by 3") that's at absolute
zero.  You transfer half the heat from the hot block to the cold block,
