The .mac Preference Pane in all of my Macs reads, inter alia, "Back to
My Mac...not working...requires a router that supports NAT port mapping
protocol (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play...Make sure...
I've logged into the router and don't see a way to activate NAT-PMP.

Hi - Is it possible to fit a second HDD inside my 24" iMac?
TIA - Dave

When I hit Cmd T in TextEdit or OmniOutliner Pro, both apps essentially
freeze up. It can take a minute for the dialog box to appear, and then i
can't change fonts or attributes.
Fonts work OK in InDesign and Photoshop.

e.g. I download Catakig 2
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/catakig/Catakig-2.00b4.dmg?modtime=116
1973648&big_mirror=0> and try to mount the image. the Finder reports it
might be damaged and I then get a "no mountable filesystem" error. But

Word up peepz! did you hear that Apple has invented SproutCore. It was
announced at the end of WWDC on Friday last week.
I don't know what it is or what it does but it's supposed to be da
bomb (which is urban slag for saying it's 'fandabbydozy').

Can anyone give me a terminal command to restart the Time Machine daemon
(backupd)? Sometimes it gets stuck "backing up 0Kb of 5Mb" or similar
and never progresses. I can fix things by rebooting but would like to
avoid that.

Occassionally, like any computer a program on my G5 iMac Power PC
crashes.  There's usually not a problem in restarting the program, but I
would like to know why this has happened.  I understand that the log
will tell me this,

I want to recommend the above product - I think it's pretty good. Does
anyone else use it?
Also, the price was fair so I didn't just pirate it. So far I have

Hi everyone.  Just jumping into OSX now (I know, I know...) so please
don't flame me.
If I buy a Samsung CLP-300, can I print to it from apps in Classic mode?
Thanks much.

It will be interesting how MobileMe will integrate/synchronize my MacBook Pro
and my iPod touch. I can't wait and I'll report my experiences.

I still have my PowerPC G4 laptop Powerbook from 2004. I was wondering
if anyone has experienced a phantom memory module.
I have 1G memory in the upper slot any 512 MB memory in the lower slot
but only the 1G memory in the upper slot is recognized.

Word up peepz,
I didn't watch the keynote. I obviously heard the news reports and the
highlights of WWDC 2008.
Some people were saying Steve Jobs looked ill: perhaps as ill as a

I have had this MacBook (2.4 GHz, 2 GB, 160 GB) since mid-March but I've
been using it more intensively only recently. I was hoping that these
problems I'm about to describe would get better with OS X updated, but
it doesn't sound like it.

Jobs said that the next version of Mac OS X will be named "Snow
Leopard", and that is all he said about it during his two-hour keynote
address at the Worldwide Developers Conference.  Anything else about
will be in the actual sessions, which will all be under a DNA.  But I'm
