I have MAC 10.5.8 and use Firefox 3.5.7. Whenever I download a file and try to open it, I get this warning: xxx is a web application which was downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it? Whereas "xxx" is the name of the file I downloaded. I want to get rid of this...

If I install Parallels on a second machine, would copying over the Parallels disk image contain the XP software as well as the applications and documents? I am not on my Mac with Parallels at the moment but what is the name of the file or files I need to fire wire over?

I want to move the whole shebang from one Mac to another. Is it possible without having to install Parallels, Win XP and all the installed applications? Is it possible using fire wire? At the very least, can I just install Parallels, XP and migrate all the other installed applications and...

I have installed Free AVG and Windows Defender on Parallels. When you install these, are they supposed to check for updates and download them automatically and preferably in the background? Do I need to set that somewhere? On Windows Defender, when I click Check for Updates Now, I get...

I have yet to use boot camp and at present, my Mac is 100% Mac. I have a XP on a Dell computer and have backed up ALL data (including system and drivers) to an external drive using Acronis TrueImage 2010 backup software for windows. The software will allow you to restore to completely different...

In order to use Migration Assistant, would the external drive have to be connect by firewire? Could I use a USB disk?

I have intel iMacs running 10.5.7. I use time machine to back up to external SATA drives that are 1 TB. If an internal drive breaks down and needs to be replaced, will I be able to restore the entire system from a backup drive? Since I would need to open the machine and change the drive...

Unfortunately, the reset button thing did not help. I also took the battery out and tested the voltage. 3.7v (same as the value of the battery). I do not see a red light on anywhere.

When I push the button to start the machine, nothing happens. Off hand I would suspect either the power supply or the start button itself. Can someone give me some instructions to troubleshoot the cause? I couldn't figure out how to remove the switch from the chassis. I also could not...

I have been talking with Apple Japan about this problem and I even showed them this post. They are very interested in knowing if anyone else has this problem. Based on what fryke posted, it would appear that I am not the only one to notice this and find it inconvenient. Especially the part...

Hmm, but not all of them. I just tried it and found that attchments from certain people have the boarder and X but not others.

I will attach the screenshot. It only happens when I try to enter the body text of the person who sends me the mail. But it does not happen with mail from everyone.

Hmmm, as responsive as this board is, I am surprized no one could help me with this one. Please forgive me for bumping the post.

When I reply to a message in OS 10.5.7, there is this black frame around the message of the original sender that has an "X" in the upper left corner. I find that it gets in the way when trying to type between the lines when responding. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it. I like the old...

I seem to have been mistaken all along. The Open with panal in Get info does go according to the file ending. I thought it looked at text documents as text documents regardless of the file endings. Hence, I am able to get all .asp files to open in TextWrangler. Thank you for your comments...

When you double click a file, it usually opens in the program that created it. But sometimes we need to open files in programs other than the one that created it. As you know, we can use Get Info and then in the Open with panel, specify which application to open it with. We can also "Apply to...

I am using 3.0.10 with Leopard 10.5.7. The way the older versions of Firefox worked was if you saved a password to the keychain and then return to the webesite at some future time, it would automatically display the user ID and PW in the login fields of the site. But now I find you have to...

How do I jumper one as the slave?

I finally got around to doing what you suggested. Not sure I did it correctly though. I opened the tower and removed the carriage that holds the drive. I did not take out the drive that came with the Mac. I just connected the IDE drive to the other connectors that were in there. It was a...

Could that be used to protect Keychain? Or would Keychain stop working as a result of it?
