You should regularly perform a backup of your valuable files anyway, it's up to you if you need to do this now but regarding iPhoto, you can just install it without the Installation Disc deleting anything and I suggest you do it using the 3rd party app, Pacifist. After downloading/installing Pacifist, you use it to extract iPhoto from the Install Disc. Download...

There are a few things we need to check: Firstly I would test the hard drive on another Mac to see if it mounts correctly there. Also it's important to try a working drive on your computer to confirm that the USB or FireWire port on your Mac isn't defective. On your Mac, make sure that "Hard disks" under "Show these items on the Desktop" is checked in Finder...

If you are concerned about losing archived mail you can make a copy of the relevant folders at: YourUserAccount ~> Library ~> Mail Highlight the mailbox folders you see and drag them to the Desktop as you press & hold the Option key (this copies them to the Desktop) Then you have your important emails backed up as emix files for 'just in case'. There are other...

I'm not surprised that AOL makes this difficult. I recommend switching to Mail, the email application that came with your Mac. You may be able to use AOL Service Assistant to ease the transition.

Well, yes, 'someone' has to buy the songs. Not you, apparently... I don't know - maybe Acqlite? http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/43182 Also, there's Frostwire - apparently better on the Mac than Limewire Maybe someone else will be able to help you steal music... :) This site doesn't provide support for that.

You do have software that you can use for downloading music that came with your Mac. It's called iTunes.... Can you tell what other software that you have tried to...

Senuti is the best choice for the latter. There are lots of YT downloader choices. Another worthy download manager to check out is Speed Download.

Looks like Spin Doctor was last compatible with 10.5 which means 10.5.8, I imagine: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21769 This might sound silly, but do you repair permissions regularly on your machine? That might be the only problem: http://thesalon.blogspot.com/2009/04/if-you-use-mac-you-need-to-repair.html

Got the same machine but mine is running slow seemingly since my update to Snow Leopard. However, part of the problem may be related to two things: 1. A 7200RPM hard drive. This is a known issue. I know I sent mine back to Apple (within the 1-year warranty) and they replaced it because it was failing. Now I have a Toshiba brand hard drive. Another ''however'' is that there...
