Okay, I`m sure I`m dating myself here, but it`s safer than dating anyone else. I have this thing I want to do with a playlist on my iPhone and in iTunes on my desktop so that it sounds like the only radio station I grew up listening to in the 60`s. I have all the airchecks I need from CKLW...

Ummm... we don't have a cat. Buddy the noteworthy dog does not want a cat living here, nor do I since the last one had a habit of walking on my keyboard and was no help with computer issues. Okay, the sharing thing, I'll check into that, and thanks for telling me about it. I'm not a real Mac...

Okay, excluding that drive from Spotlight has not stopped the problem, and I have no idea what else it might be. I've asked my dog, but he doesn't seem to know either. We are both pretty baffled here....

So I was goofing around as is my wont, looking through terabytes of videos for something to watch while not paying attention, and suddenly I somehow hit the spacebar with a video file selected, and lo, a window popped up and it began to play! I had no idea I could do that, and I still don't know...

Okay, I switched to all processes, but I can't figure anything out from that. I'm not sharing any files at all, there's no network here. I did exclude that drive from Spotlight though, and I'll be watching it for a while to see if that stops the unknown writes. Thankee much :)

Well, I also considered a possible firmware change in the new WD drive, but I have no way of verifying that. This is the only drive out of six that I've seen this behavior with, and it's the most recently added, so that might be the case. Yes, all my external drives are formatted the same...

I recently added another 2tb Western Digital MyBook external USB drive to my PowerMac MDD, the sixth such external drive on my system, and I'm seeing some strange behavior from it that I have not observed at all with the other drives. It's little white light flashes a lot, on and off, when...

So I'm trying to put an MP4 movie on my iPhone 3G that was on there before, but I deleted it, or so I thought. It will not go onto the phone, at all, and when I look at the phone in iTunes and go to movies it's there, unchecked in the grayed out box with other movies I removed from the phone...

I've noticed a folder in Finder that is unusual in that it has no little arrow beside it, and the contents are listed below it. You cannot close the folder, because there's no little arrow to open or close it when viewing the folders on the disk as a list. I can't understand why this folder is...

Well Messenger still is able to log in using it, so I doubt that's the case, and it's a very strong password. Adium tries to log in via AOL servers, so I think that might be the problem. Anyway I got rid of a couple things Yahoo had bundled into Messenger, and now I don't see it eating 98% of...

Just tried Adium, it will not let me log into my Yahoo account for some reason. Have my correct username/email address in it, but it still rejects that. Tells me that it's invalid, even though I've been using that for years. First it tells me I have to use my Yahoo email address, and when I do...

Over the last few months I've noted that Yahoo Messenger takes a very long time to connect and log in, sometimes several minutes. This morning my Mac Mini started acting very sluggish, and bringing up Activity Monitor I saw that Yahoo Messenger was eating 98% of the CPU, even though I was doing...

Just now I got spam from Facebook Rewards that no matter how I tried to add it to my filters they would not deal with it at all. I have no idea how this did this, but they seem to have come up with superspam that you cannot filter out no matter what you do. Not a good thing at all. Here's the...

Is there such a thing as a freeware MP4 joiner that will run under Tiger? I've tried AddMovie, but video quality suffers greatly in the finished movie.

Well the sound may happen before the rules are applied, however before I had to start making rules I used to just mark this stuff as junk, and that did it, no sound played, and the junk would accumulate in the pop account folder without being downloaded and arrive there silently. But then the...
