    startup disc is almost fulll

    It means that the disk or partition that the disk boots from is almost full, so yes it could be the amount of stuff you have saved on your computer. If you have a separate partition you could move some of your stuff to there to free up some space. Also I believe there are some utilities that you...

    Apple confirms: Lion arriving on July 20th

    That's what I thought, but surprisingly my copy should be down in around 10 minutes time. About 35 minutes total so it might be worth giving it a go now.

    Permission Issue

    That would be the problem, NTFS is only supported for read access on the Mac. You will need to re-partition using Disk Utility to either HFS+ if you only need Mac access or FAT32(MS-DOS) if you need read/write access from both OSX and Windows.

    As a start with one of the students who could previously login try unplugging the network cable and then getting them to try again with an older password if they have recently changed theirs. I have come across this with 10.5 where the AD password is changed and then the Mac will not accept...

    The Microsoft viral attempt

    I agree Satcomer, the trouble is in my local store most people are not buying anything, they're just getting their regular Facebook and Twitter fix as they seem to be unable to make it through a short shopping trip without it.

    upgrading to 10.5.6 from 10.4.11?

    I would stick with 10.4 if you can, I have installed 10.5 on a couple of machines with the same specifications as yours and they have really struggled, especially with more than one application open or doing stuff like image manipulation.

    Need help

    Yes, there is an imaging tool with OSX server. You can just connect your iMac in target disk mode and pull the image off it as either a netboot or net install image. Note you need to be using at least 10.5.6 if you have Leopard systems to prevent an issue with kerberos.

    Album artwork is in chaos

    I have had this a couple of times. Sometimes setting the Album Artist to be the same for all will resolve it. First make sure there is nothing obvious by making the album title to be identical for all tracks. I have been caught out once by trailing spaces.

    MacMail, Entourage, MS Exchange, Iphone

    As a IMAP client Mail works well with exchange 2003 and in the near future the Mail client in 10.6 has improved support for Exchange 2007. If you are having trouble sending check that your smtp server does not require authetication. Personally I prefer Entourage to Mail, but it sometimes does...

    You can do a Get Info on the drive, and set the permissions you want and then click on the button next to the '-' and select apply to all enclosed items. You may need to login as root to be able to do this. An alternative, and this carries a big warning,is to go through the Terminal. cd to...

    Apple Store is down

    Like Nixgeek I was initially not too enamored of the new keyboards until I got one. now I would not go back to the old style now. Mind you the fact I have a similar keyboard on my Macbook might have prepared me for the change. I would not be keen on losing the numeric keypad which is...
