Ok, I may be "Thick" but there must be some pList, somewhere that
iPhoto uses to run it's SlideShow command.  I have one that is
setup to play a Library, in a Loop, with music.  I worked just

How do I restore a folder I can't see?
I need to restore my mysql data directory - /usr/local/mysql/data.
I know Time Machine has been backing it up because if I go to the
command line as root and CD through the time machine folders, I can

Since I replaced .Mac with MobileMe and synced my G5 Leopard 10.5.4 I get:
'CS Config Dot Mac Cert wants to use "georgekerby" Keychain

This happens every time I start the machine.

I am running a macbook with the latest Leopard updates.
My airport is set to talk to my local Belkin wireless (802.11g) LAN

Maybe I'm beng stupid, but if I Connect To Server and the volume opens

A friend of mine was having issues with music on her computer so she
asked me to take a look at it.  Unfortunately, I have no clue as to
what is going on so I'm asking here in case someone has a better idea
why the following things are happening.

Anyone know what the full specs of the sound card are in a 24" iMac ?  Model
before the current one... 2.4ghz
Scoured the 'net but can only find a general spec.

Hi again:
The reason for my asking about backing up files is due to some
sad news. Two days ago I lost my dog to illness. She was my best
friend for 12 1/2 years, and all of the photos that I have of her are

The apple specs say it will support up to two GB. Does that mean two one GB
or can I use one twoGB and leave the second slot empty?

I have a MobileMe account (I'm a long-standing .mac user) and after a bit of
trouble for the first few days getting MobileMe to accept a credit card
change everything has been working just fine. I have an iPod touch and a
MacBook Pro.

I have a white MacBook 2.2 GHz with Leopard since just over a month. I
previously had an iBook G4 (started with Panther, then Tiger).
Immediately after buying the MacBook in its base configuration, I bought
and installed myself 2 GB of RAM (from Crucial) and a Samsung HM250JI

Earlier I posted a problem with printing from Leopard to a Canon
ImagePass M2 print server, and received no responses, so here is a more

OSX 10.5.4 expanded view by  holding down the Control-Key and using
the Mighty Mouse scroll button.  This works great by expanding and
