    Buying in S.E. Asia

    Hi all, I'm just about to head off to South East Asia, (+China & Japan), for a bit of an adventure and I'd like to get hold of an iPod Nano whilst on my travels. Does anyone know where's cheapest? Is it cheaper than getting one here in the U.K.?

    Adding tracks to audiobooks

    Hi all, I've just been playing about with iTunes 6 and I've noticed the 'Audiobooks' tab in the browser. How do I add existing ripped tracks to that tab? I've the complete 'Hitch-Hiker's Guide' but it's ripped from a CD and not bought from the iTMS. The reason I want to do it this way is I've...

    Airport extreme lack of signal)

    Hello all, I've a problem with my Airport base station that's doing my swede in. The reception keeps dropping to two bars, then my internet access craps out and the page won't load. I have to restart before it resolves itself. I'm only 3 foot away from the bloody thing!

    Bonjour

    How the hell do you switch 'Bonjour' off in iChat 3? I've unchecked the accounts preference but everytime I login I get the annoying "Do you wanna use bonjour?" pop-up.

    iTunes Video Store

    The file size to watch it on a television would be astronomical wouldn't it?

    Sony Video Store vs iTMS

    Why would anyone in all seriousness want to watch a feature film on a 2-4inch screen? I don't get it. Besides, wouldn't it eat up memory?

    I think I may have spoken too soon. I've cut the number of fonts I have in my user library down to 200 and switched a lot of those off in Font Book but it's still slow. I've also ditched all the startup items bar VirexLogIn and iCalAlarmScheduler but it's back to running slow. Quark also now...

    Hey, problem solved. Well both problems actually. It turned out to be a dodgy font and I spent at least three hours this morning trying them one by one. Got it sussed now. It also seemed to help my slow startup when I ditched loads of old fonts and disabled a few in Font Book. Cheers for the...

    Hey that's worked! In the new account the problem has gone. Does that mean I can ditch the old one? How do I get all my files from one to the other? Thanks for your help with this guys.

    Repairing permissions didn't help but I haven't tried a new user account. How do I do that? I've noticed that it's affected my address book too now so it can't be local to mail can it?

    I've considered re-installing the Mail application but I need to keep all my existing e-mails. Is it just a matter of ditching the application and the files in my 'user'>'library' & 'preferences'? Which file(s) do I need to save to keep the mails?

    Yeah, it's happening to all my e-mails. I'll try what you suggested Zammy-Sam and see if that helps. It's currently taking 4 minutes 36 seconds to log in. That can't be right, can it?

    Hello all. Just recently I've noticed that it's been taking longer and longer for my powerbook G4 to 'log-in'. The spinning rainbow wheel appears and just sits there for what feels like an eternity. I'm sure it never used to. At the same time it seems to have developed some 'odd' characters...

    Speakers popping!

    Unfortunately it occurs when all music is played, music from sites included. I'm giving Apple a call this morning. Yet again I guess I'll have to drop my computer in to someone and miss out on another five days work or more. This is the third mac I've owned in a row that's developed a fault...
