Hi there, I have been using iWeb to create a new homepage for our small company. It worked really great, and I didn't regret not to use html code one moment. But, at the end, the output of iWeb is a folder with subfolders for every page. The subfolders are containing all the images used...

Hello, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, there is no such option in Leopard running on my iMac. And then, the hard disk goes to sleep after 15 minutes not touched. The problem is, that I'd like to set the delay down to 5 minutes or so. Yours, Bernhard

Hi, now having switched to Leopard, I bought an external hard drive in order to use time machine. Unfortunately, every time the hard disk is touched (once per hour for the backup and still once per hour for a reason I do not know -- and every time I turn my mac on --), the hard disk stays...

Hello, I think that changing font size is not an option. To have lots of empty space around the photos and a small text box beneath with tiny fonts looks bizarre...

Hello, first, let me express that I really like the iPhoto book templates. They are very elegant and with ease, I can create a very beautiful book. But when traveling, I do not only shoot photos of the locations. I am very interested in the way the people live. In the language they...

Hello, a friend of mine nearly convinced me to use Apple pages instead of Microsoft Word for most of my tasks. But unfortunately, there is one thing I use frequently for my work and this is putting numbered figure titles under pictures. After hours of searching, I didn't find out how to do...

Hello, it's long ago since I last have made a backup of my system. What primarily holds me back is that I keep pretending that I just do not have the time. Then I fell over an article which describes how to backup recently changed data using the automator: - create smart folder that...

Hello, since several month, I am trying to find an answer to the following question. Perhaps you could give me a hint, as I still do not know the answer. My problems are non-ascii-charracters in filenames (such as Umlauts, accented characters and so on). Before working with Apple, I was...

Thanks for your reply, oceanicitl. So it's 90 Pound per Year, quite a lot if the only thing I am interested in is this cute program Backup 3. 'Till now, I always used your proposed possibility of backing up data: Put blank DVD in the drive and burnt down important data. But as Backup 3 does...

Hello, I found that there exists a really interesting program for backing up data. It's called backup 3. Apparently, I can only get it by becoming member of .mac, am I right? If so, what do I have to pay for .mac and is there any extra fee to pay for backup 3? And do I have to pay...

Hello, when a dialog box (I hope this is the right expression) comes up and demands for example "Do you want to save changes to this document before closing?" then I can choose, by mouse click, "Don't save", "Cancel", "Save". I love keyboard shortcuts. Is there a way to choose the...

Hello, yesterday, I dragged a picture from iPhoto and dropped it on my desktop. What I saw then was neat! Instead of seeing the ever-the-same icon of some pictures also stored on the Desktop (the Preview-Icon, to be more exactly), I saw the picture in the icon! If you see what I mean...

Hey Mikuro, hi LT Major Burns, you two have really well done ;) I tried out your hints and it worked exactly your described. And further, it is exactly what I wanted, no better: I couldn't even image it would work so well! You see, I was a Win2Mac Switcher not long ago . . . CU...

Hello, I am looking for an option to automatically start files with a special extension always with the same program. For example, if I want to open a .avi video file, macos by default does it with quicktime. As quicktime is not able to read .avi, it usually hangs or crashes. What I like...

Hi Clivey, yeah! Now I am going to be happy ; ) Many Thanks, Clivey! Bernhard
