I'm on a MBP with leopard 10.5.6 and all the latest software updates. I had been using iMovie now and then with no problems until today. Now when I open iMovie it says 'camera detected' when there is no camera attached (or anything else). It then starts 'generating thumbnails' but crashes...

Thanks!

when I cover the sensors at either side of the keyboard. This happens a lot when I am typing at it really bugs me. I think I managed to turn it off before but it has started again and I can't remember what I did. Can anyone help?

Every time I click on the 'Mail (x)' link in Messenger it takes me the 'incorrect password' hotmail login screen. Obviously this is not a disaster but it is annoying. Does anyone know why this should be happening? As soon as I enter my password at the 'incorrect password' screen I login...

Ah, OK. Thanks Mikuro. :)

I haven't figured out how to scroll through the button that will be pressed when I hit return on a menu yet. On a PC the TAB button will do this. An example of what I'm talking about: I have a pdf file but it doesn't have a .pdf extension so I select it then hit cmd-i, and change the...

Thx, I seem to have the smtp problem sorted now., but I don't know if I'm getting all the emails. "Check for new mail" is set at the default, 5 minutes. Shouldn't be a problem should it?

Every now and again I get a message from Mail.app saying asking me to enter my gmail password as the login using the saved password failed. I then enter my password ( the same one that is saved ) and it works. However, I've noticed that some of the emails in my gmail account are not downloaded...

Thanks for the new replies. If I try to plug in the headphones that I use with my iPod then there seems to be no problem and both channels work first time. However, it is still possible to see some of the metal part of the jack which doesn't make me feel that confident about it. I would...

Thanks for the replies. It doesn't seem like the cable has too much rubber on it. It actually protrudes from the socket a little bit so that you can see some of the metal part even when it is pushed in as far as it will go. I never thought this looked very good but then as the sound seemed...

I have noticed that when I plug in external speakers to my (month-old) MB Pro the sound does not necessarily come out of both speakers at once. I may have to adjust the connection to get both speakers to work. I don't feel this is very good on such a new machine as I anticipate having to use...

All the settings I have been able to find are the same, i.e. port number, security settings. I can't see what is set up differently.

Mail.app will not download my work emails while I am at work, although it works fine when I am at home. The settings are exactly the same as for Thunderbird on my desktop, which works fine. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

I'm trying to write something in Pages, in which I need to write a character with a bar above it, like the opposite of an underline, as used to denote an average value in maths sometimes. I can't find out how to do this anywhere, does anyone know if there is a way? Latexit is not much help as...

Thanks Satcomer, the second thing you suggested seems to have done the trick.
