Hi, I am having a problem with my system (10.4.4) on a powerbook. For some reason the mirror agent appears to freeze (I have turned off automatic sync, but it is still doing this manually) and then internet access is being blocked, and safari stops responding. There are a couple of other...

Well, mail is giving me problems. I can log on to webmail and see new messages, but Mail is not getting them onto the computer. Its strange because I have sent messages to different mail accounts, and Mail just will not them. A.

I think Germany is around 16% and France 19.6%. The prices in the UK are about 20% higher than France and Germany even when you consider the VAT. There must be another reason for the higher pricing. I am not sure whether the Euro prices are advertised including VAT as they are in UK. Maybe...

I thought there was not much difference in tax rates in France (19.6%) and Germany (16%) compared to the UK (17.5%). Yet the UK prices are over 20% higher than France or Germany. While it is still a good price in the UK compared to what is available in the high street, I wonder why there is...

Ouch. Maybe this is wrong, but I am reading reports of 7.99 pounds for an album versus 9.99 euros in France and Germany. Well, by current exchanges, 10 euros = 6.6 pounds, not 8, so looks like UK gets it in the pocket again....

Hi, Just downloaded the Call of Duty demo, but it is not running at all on my 1 Ghz Powerbook G4 (around 3fps). I have the settings normal. I can run UT2004, Halo, Quake etc with no problems. Has anyone else had problems with this demo? Any hints to get this working?

Is there a trick to watching the movie trailer in fullscreen mode from the QT trailer page? I have watched full screen movies on my computer through QT pro before, but not streamed over the internet. It was having a full screen version streaming to me that looked good on a 21 inch monitor...

Well. Seems I'm behind the times. I had never used the iTunes movie preview before (been busy these last few weeks), so this is probably old news. However, watching the full screen preview through iTunes seemed faster for me than downloading at a resolution high enough to play quicktime at...

Wow, just watched the Incredisized version of the new Incredibles trailer. Full screen using iTunes 4.5. Streamed well over broadband. One step closer to movies on demand!!!

Dear Friends, I have just read and signed the online petition: "Wolfenstein Enemy Territory for Mac" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/wofetmac/ Calling all Mac gamers who are fans of Urban Terror...

Anyone know whether these codes will allow us in Europe to download songs? If yes, let me buy you a Pepsi :D

:p Might not be that simple. I have a 1 GhzTiBook, and an old beige G3 desktop with a 450 Ghz Zif card upgrade. Of course Panther is on the Ti Book, but I was a bit upset that I could not install Panther on the desktop. I was using the larger hard drive on the desktop for file serving and...
