I'm finding that live web video streaming on my new intel iMac (1 Gig memory,
superdrive) is pretty poor. I've tried different live stream sites with the
same results: jerky, stop and go streaming, really quite unwatchable. I have
adjusted QuickTime and Flip4Mac settings, but no ...

Can anyone help me with this question?

Hi all, wondering here if adding RAM can really add to the speed of a
computer, and if so under what situations.  My dad has a G3 iBook
running Tiger and of course there's a lot of rainbow-balling and general
waiting for things as far as generally navigating the OS.  It has 256

In the classic OS (1.0 to 9.2), back in the daze of System 6.0.5 and
System 7, files had a Type and Creator attribute that was heads and
tails over the .SFX suffix of Windows.  When Apple went to the Unix
based OS X, they abandonned this very nice set-up.  My question is why?

Since I updated the firmware of my Superdrive to 2.1 I seem to only be
able to recognise one type of media. My Macbook rebooted in the middle
of the update which may be the issue although everything else works OK
apart from reading CD-R and some blank DVDs.

I'm a pc field tech who has never, before 2 days ago, touched a mac. I
was sent to a location where a client was using a iMac desktop

The built-in iSight camera on my iMac is not working; regardless of the
application I use, it displays nothing but black.  With everything going
on at the Apple stores with the iPhone, I don't want to have to carry
the computer in, besides, they'll probably want to hang on to it ...

On my Mac Pro, the past couple day, my DNS has been really flakey. One
minute I can hit Yahoo, the next I can't.
My wife is using here iBook, and using the same DSL router I am, but
hers works just peachy.

About 1.5 hours ago, we installed the 10.4.10 upgrade on my wife's
MacBook.  It rebooted once, and then rebooted a second time after five
minutes.  It has now been sitting there with the gray screen and the
dark gray apple, with the little clocklike widget underneath going

From Popular Science:
"I went to a brand new AT&T store in Philadelphia at 12 Noon today—It
was very remote so I figured I'd have no trouble getting one. I pulled
in the lot and I see three very sort of rough-looking guys on a blanket.

Last night my QWERTYkeyboard became a AZERTY keyboard with similar
switched keys on the right-hand side of the keyboard. Does anyone know
what I did or, more importantly, how I can switch it back?

Well, had.
Short story ...
I am wondering if there is a way to see what made my VM go nuts over night
with no activity. I've looked at Console but need some pointers as to what to

I think the Americans pay for incoming mobile calls (it comes out
their mins). Also, to call a mobile is just the cost  of  local
