Why does Apple insist on turning on the iTunes store with iTunes updates?
I just installed 7.7.  I now have a STORE/dowloads item in the left hand
selection menu beneath LIBRARY and above PLAYLISTS.  Despite having the

I want to put my Epson R260 on my home wired network.
Anyone use a particular Ethernet <> USB Print Server that
is Mac friendly and that they are happy with and would
care to recommend?

My MacBook came with 1 gb of  ram, in the form of two 512 cards filling
both slots. Why didn't they just fill one slot with 1gb so I can just
add another gb without having to purchase another extra 512 worth in
order to max out to 2g? This way you have to subtract ram in order to ...

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Duo Core, 1 Gig RAM, Processor Speed
2.16 GHZ currently wit OS X 10.4.10 installed. Because I need some of
the features with 10.5 (Leopard), I have bought that software but all
is not well.

A Blue & White my son had been using with OS X was replaced by a faster
one, and he just pulled the disk from the old one and stuck it in the
new one -- worked fine.
The problem has been with attempts to get a new disk, with a new system,

Since tcpd is no longer in OSX (it was gone in 10.4), what can be used
to limit access to /usr/sbin/sshd?  I want to do something like TCP
Wrappers' /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow files.
I realize that the Firewall can be used in a similar manner but now I

I know I can share my library in a network (the library would reside on
a server) keeping separate library files on each machine.
How about sharing the database files, too? No, I don't want to sync them
among the different machines, but I'd like to keep the files where the

Is it possible to set up an Exchange server using Mac OS X server? If
so, I would really appreciate some direction. I've been searching
online for ages now.
Thanks!

Okay, I haven't used VNC software that much but I did have it on all
the iMac G4s in my lab.  Now I've got iMac C2Ds and want to install
VNC again.  What should I use?

I'm new to MACs and now have a machine running 10.4.3. I cannot get it
onto the internet. It will ping my other machine and various web sites but
not my gateway. Safari refuses to open anything and Mac software update
fails. Network diags says it can't fix the problem. What could ...

I think that 'anal' really is redundant as all poo is anal. Has anyone

I asked this in another Mac Group, but so far they have declined to answer.
Neither key will increase/decrease volume level.  Nor does the bar show up
on desktop. Don't know what if anything I did to cause this. Unable so far
