My employer just got me a black MacBook, which I love. I'm running OS
X 10.5.2. However, the cursor freezes from time to time, necessitating
a hard restart -- pretty ugly stuff. Installing the keyboard firmware
upgrade has made no difference. Help!

Hopefully a very simple question: If I purchase 1 copy of 10.4, can I
install an run it on 2 G4 Macs that run over an Ethernet network, or
do I have to purchase a 5 pak?

I am running a Macbook Pro.  I installed Leopard today and tried
installing Windows XP 64 bit.  Windows seems to have installed fine
except the display appears very fuzzy / grainy and none of the volume
brightness eject buttons function properly.  I have tried adjusting

Any 'enlightened' Mac users run "GoToMyPC" ver 6.0 software

Hi -- I'm having a problem where if I tell iTunes or iPhoto or VMware
Fusion to store its data on an external USB drive, the program often

On the back of my 20" Cinema display there is a tube shaped 'thing'
that connects to the base on which the screen stands.
How can I take apart the screen from the base?
Is there a manual for that somewhere?

For some unknown reason, my Finder has begun doing a 90 degree

occurred in Tiger, I thought it was some preference file that got
corrupted.  Rather than try to find it, I upgraded to Leopard and did

I am looking to replace my current ISP with Verizon FIOS, but I can't
seem to get pre-order technical support from them. So I am looking
for OS X (Leopard) users that are FIOS customers. There are a few questions:
1) I have heard conflicting reports on weather Verizon will install

  How can I switch from my wired Ethernet connection of my iMac G5,
OS 10.4.11, to my Airport Extreme Base Station (n).
  If I simply unplug (or not) the ethernet cable to the Mac, then
select my network's name from the Airport icon at the top of the

I have years of Mac experience but never anything wireless, so extreme
newbie here in that department.
Trouble is, someone with even less experience, a friend's mother, wants
me to connect her iMac to a lexmark printer wirelessly.

Has anyone here gotten a LaserWriter to work in Leopard?
Thanks,
