I was ALMOST able to convert my entire family to Macs, but there are a couple of holdouts. I put all the latest family pictures on a .Mac screensaver. Is there an app that will let Windows users access those photos as their screensaver? I really don't want to have to resort to uploading to a...

I have one of the last PowerBook G4s... with a dual layer DVD burner. It's been running fine. Yesterday I did something that may have screwed up the machine to the point where it can't browse the Internet no matter what I do. I was trying to fix a problem of the mac not waking from sleep when...

I've got a new PowerBook (w/DL Superdrive) and am having a couple of issues with it I do NOT have with my Mac Mini. 1. when at home I never use the PowerBook screen... I use my 24" Sony DVI screen and switch between the PB and the Mini. So I set the PB to full 1920x1200 resolution for my Sony...

When syncing the Address Book among 2 Macs using .mac sync, only the individual entries are transferred, not the groups they belong to. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Why? And when you connect to another user's Address Book remotely, there are no groups there either. What's so...

I'm tired of programming my cordless phone base station with a subset of names that already exist in my Address Book. I already use my Motorola v400 mobile phone with data synced to Address Book via iSync. Now it's time for another product that connects to iSync... your home phone. Apple...

I am trying to get a DVI monitor to work with a PowerMac G4 FW800 using the PowerMac's DVI port, but get no video on boot. Do I have to buy the converter to use the ADC port for a single monitor setup?

I am starting a huge project of collecting all of my family's photos in iPhoto. Sources include various digital cameras (JPEG) and scanned prints of photos (TIFF). (I chose TIFF for maximum uncompressed quality while editing and re-saving.) I want them to all line up in order of date the photos...

I've looked everywhere and can't seem to stop my iBook from dimming its screen after a few minutes of the screensaver kicking in. I like watching the screensaver until the display blacks out completely.

Everywhere I looked on the net explained that moving your OSX home directory to an external drive is simply done by going into Netinfo Manager, finding your username, and changing the "home" property to point to wherever you copied your home directory to (the copy can only be done when you're...

I have way more music than will fit on any one hard drive (I even have a 500GB drive) and so the music spans 3 different hard drives. iTunes keeps track of what music is on what drive until I move music from one drive (volume) to another. Then it loses track. Previously when I have done...

I upgraded a G4 1GHZ to Panther and since then when I start iChat it usually displays a completely BLANK iChat window. Only if I delete the shortcut in the Dock and redo it will it come up normal. I would delete iChat and reinstall it but it's the AV version than comes with Panther so I...

I have a La Cie external 500GB FireWire-800 drive on which I store all my ripped CDs in .WAV format. Uncompressed, uncompromised, unaffected by codecs that come and go. You can't store tags in a .WAV file but iTunes keeps track of all the song information in its own XML database. My 30GB...

I am switching from Windows and as a rule store all my data on an external drive so I can use it on different computers. Can I do this in OSX using an iPod in Firewire disk mode? Where does OSX store all the data files for Address Book, iCal, Mail, etc? Can these files be on a removable...
