    Is there an "uninstall" function in the Mac?

    Some Apps include this uninstall facility and if it does its best to use it. For instance I just had an issue with a user's Acrobat 7, the support page on Adobe said to remove and re-install. I did this the Mac way by trashing the App and plists and receipts and prefs, and the problemm...

    The Curse of the Never-Closing iTunes

    Perhaps you have set iTunes to launch whenevr ou have an audio CD in? Check Sys Prefs> CDs and DVDs. Perhaps iTunes Helper is trying to do something odd, its usually in your Sys Prefs> Accounts>Login Items as default. Justa couple of ideas.

    Desktop Mozilla icons - what are they doing there?

    Just ran through the process and you're quite right, I must have been thinking of the PC setup process. My mistake.

    OS X not recognising Quark files

    I've got this on a Quark doc that was created in 7.1 (with the update) and saved in 6, it worked between both these versions for a few weeks but now its turned into a UNIX Exec. Put the user onto free Quark tech support, they said try opening it as server admin, oor saving down onto users...

    Finder not loading

    Sounds like it could be the mount point. I had a similar problem last year and tried everything you have, managed to get the finder to continue to load and crash every second and a half but thats the best it would do. Kissed my data goodbye and got another HD. 27Gbs of music down the tubes...

    Music Server

    Sharing is your only option, what you are asking for is something that would essentially allow people (even if its not what you are trying to do) to share their entire music collection for free over the internet. Not ever going to happen. But then you knew that, being an IT Security Specialist!

    Desktop Mozilla icons - what are they doing there?

    There is a pane during the setup process that asks you if you want desktop and dock shortcuts, its near the end of the setup process. Untick them and it won't do it.

    MSN Messenger: Ports?

    Hi I can't seem to use my Messenger from within my office network, but it works on PCs. I have been assured that no ports are deliberately blocked, and we don't use a Proxy server. However a friend on a non-tech forum said: "I had this exact issue in halls in my first year of uni. All I can...

    ARD3 UNIX Commands

    Hi guys Is there a list of UNIX commands for ARD3? My network is made up of several different models, Intel and PPC, so this is the only way to do a lot of stuff without doing it for each individual model one at a time. Software Update is easy, not worried about that, but does anyone know...

    Compatibility Issues

    Many thanks Bob. I've never had purchasing power before and don't want to waste money, so just a bit nervous of committing to these things.

    Compatibility Issues

    Hello People Does anyone else find it a bit of a nightmare to get accurate information on Software and Hardware compatibility? There really need to be more tables laying out what works with what. I have inherited a network of mostly PPC Macs (G4s, G5s, iMac G4s, Old Cubes and Powerbooks)...

    A Nightmare of Epic Proportions - cautionary tale.

    So I installed iTunes 7 a couple of days ago, and my Finder went nuts. Firstly, let me point out I am not necessarily blaming iTunes 7, but the fun started right after I launched that for the first time. I'd installed it a few days before, but hadn't used it so it launched when I went to...
