Help! My teenage son decided to try and install Bootcamp on my iMac
while I was at work. He didn't have the Windows Service Pack 2 CD and
the install failed. Now I can't startup my iMac except from the
install CD.

I turned on my Macbook Pro and setup a user account, but didn't run
Migration Assistant at that time.  I've now learned that it would have

I had run Migration Assistant at that time (before account setup).

Cannot figure out how to do the following
what I want to do is have a list of pages displayed in a left-hand
panel of a page and for content to come up in the right hand panel
when an item within list in the left panel  is clicked on. Reloading

I am now running my iMac G5 from a LaCie firewire drive cloned from my
internal, boot partition and all, because the G5 has to go into the
hospital for a power supply transplant.  The machine came with Panther,
and I upgraded it to Tiger from your basic retail package with download

I'm considering replacing a four-year old Windows desktop system with
a Mac. I'll need to get one with Windows also installed since I have a
lot of software that doesn't have Mac equivalents.

Looks like many models of the G4 desktop are heading for the
scrapyard!

very expensive even if you can find a refurbished one, has dopped the

There's one of these computers sitting used in a store nearby and I'm
considering picking it up, but I'd like to confirm a few things first.

2) This model has the special Apple Pro Speakers jack, correct?

All,
 I have a little annoyance that I can't seem to fix in OS X Mail. So,
when you have an unread message in your Inbox, you know how the dock
icon changes to have the red number with the number of unread

I just got a message from "Disk Cleaner" while running Firefox and it
told me the benefits of installing the Disk Cleaner-utility on my
system. Great!!!
I also use Windows so I recognise adware/spyware when I see one :-).

I'd reported a problem with a G4 PB a few weeks back and thought I'd

I am running OSXvnc on a mac in my basement.  I'd been using my pc
laptop to and vnc to connect to it.

I just had to replace my ipod mini(obsolete model) and the guy who sold
me the nano didn't know to tell me that OSX 10.2.8 + itunes 6 wouldn't
work with the nano I just bought. So I got my Mom's copy of 10.4 and am
considering using it. During the finish part, when I am prompted ...
