They've recently revamped it and it's not working well with some
versions of OSX running on some machines.
Go to their 'search genuine spares' thing, type in a cc (try 400), and

At long last Apple have put up a podcast subscription for their keynote
videos:

My Versiontracker subscription is up for renewal in the next couple of
weeks and it's time to look at a few options. I'm finding I use it less
now that most software updates itself (except Vuescan, but I pretty
know I'm out of date when I run that, seems to be updated every week ...

Anyone know of an application that will record what is played through
the speakers ? I have a bit of audio I need to capture on a site.

I've just got my 2.5GHz 4G5 back from the menders, Amsys, who managed to
leave dust trapped in the DIMM contacts of one RAM module and bent some
of the radiator core.
But it's quieter than it was - new logic board, new CPU, new graphics

I can't seem to find a page telling me what's new in Rapidweaver v4 vs
the v3.6 I'm currently running. Any pointers?

I tried to help someone put in an old style Airport card (with black
ariel) in a Quicksilver Mac.  The screen output is now pink.  The
graphics card is connected to a HDTV telly via an HDMI connection on the

want to make sure that any change I make is Mac/user friendly.
Currently I use BT but am considering switching to either Tiscali or ...

I have a video (mpeg) that was taken with the camera on its side so
that the video is at 90 degrees. Is there anyway of rotating it back
through 90 so that it views the right way up (other than buying

I'm having a problem with Pages. I want to place a set of 3 png images
in a document and I want them to stay between two blocks of text. That
is, when I add text above the top block I want the images to move down.
Images don't seem to behave very well with respect to their ...

OK, I did it.  After four years, I made the jump.  I realised that
knowing you have a problem is the first step to solving it.
There's lots I love about OmniWeb, but it was just too slow.  Every time
someone came over - even a Mac user - and we'd look something up on the

I know that you can't usually boot from a USB external hard drive with a
PPC Mac but can you use one with migration assistant to restore a backed
up system?  I've had this crap USB hard drive for a while since I had to
buy it in a hurry to back up my ibook when the HDD failed ...
