When you buy and register QT Pro, what is installed? Where is the
registration info placed? Invisible file?

Anyone know how to copy music from someone else's shared music from
iTunes?  We all share our music here at our office, but we'd like to

Suddenly, the Search functioning of my Mail (version 2.1.1) on my
MacBook Pro just stopped working. No other glitches have occurred in

Firefox handily shows me all the things I've typed into a particular
text field in the past, such as in the very subject line above, where
it quickly offered all the subjects I've started with "Question ..."
for an instant until I had typed more new stuff.

All of a sudden , all my files ,documents, apps and jpeg images became

black and the texts white.  In SYSTEM Preferences, all i was able to do
was to change the backgorund colors of the DESKTOP.

machine ? We need to create a full hardware/software inventory of a

There are a number of windows tools for windows machines, but nothing

For about the past month or so I've had trouble logging out and
shutting down my Mac Book Pro running Mac OS X (10.4.10).  I have two
users on the system, one I use for work and the other home.  I have no

What is the best way to connect a MacBook to a HDTV? (I don't want to
buy an Apple TV). I think VGA and composite video are too low quality.
Does Apple sell cables to connect DVI to HDMI?
Thanks,

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro that I use mainly for recording music.
