    Good good. So ... are you going to tell us the solution?

    Viruses On Os X

    Kiral - just a note on English. The verb to "effect" means to "bring about" or "make happen". The verb you need is to "affect". Using the wrong verb doesn't help your credibility and I agree with Randy - especially since I've been using Macs since 1987, been on-line since 1995, and I have...

    After upgrading to Leopard, Internet slo

    20% is still absolutely borderline in my opinion - and it should be contiguous as I already mentioned. So you repaired permissions. Have you done anything else that might help or might make matters worse? It's best to give full information from the start, otherwise people lose patience trying...

    10.3 is Panther. As mentioned, please copy your iPhoto library to an external disc before touching anything else.

    After upgrading to Leopard, Internet slo

    You still don't seem to understand the distinction between "2GB memory" and "disk space". You should have at least 20% of your disc space free (and preferably contiguous free space because if it's too fragmented that could still cause significant delays). You haven't mentioned repairing...

    Splendid. Like most "problems" the answer is usually obvious once you've found it! ;)

    USB 2.0 Adapter without using a pc card

    As you mentioned, your USB1 port will work but very slowly. If you don't update your iPod very often or can leave it overnight, USB1 should work just fine.

    My macbook is dead, please help

    Try connecting the charger. My battery often reads 90% when the iBook shuts down. The only recourse is to connect the charger.

    OS X Tiger, Dictionaries And UK English

    Because you are touching [cmd][spacebar]. If you uncheck the US flag in "International" you'll at least get rid of this problem. Alternatively, open System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts and (under "Input Menu") uncheck "Select the previous input source". You won't lose...

    Well, I don't know the answer but this might help: Click on the flag in your menu bar and select "Open International..." (If the flag is not there, go to the Apple icon, select "System Preferences" -> "International" -> [Input Menu] and check [ ] Show input menu in menu bar.) Now check (tick)...

    Mysterious "23.jpg" keeps reappearing

    You might have more chance of a useful reply if you divulge what hardware and OS you are using. Also explain what you mean by "my music and pictures option in the finder". What option? And how exactly your are "deleting" the unwanted file?

    After upgrading to Leopard, Internet slo

    You don't give details of your Mac or how you upgraded and whether you also upgraded your non-Apple applications or how you establish your Internet connection. I don't use Firefox but I understand that some plug-ins are "broken" in Leopard.

    My First Mac

    Remove the plastic cover from the underside. Make sure the "foot" is extended. Fit a small 12 volt fan to the top vent hole. Power it from a plug-top "charger" type power supply. Make sure that it sucks the air upwards.

    There Seems to Be More Mac Users Lately

    Definitely increasing. I see it on general discussion forums. Used to be that I'd see a question like "how do I import movies from a camcorder?" and I would (tongue in cheek) reply "easy, just launch iMovie." That would usually start a torrent of abuse from the OP who was obviously a Windows...

    From Firewire drive to Windows tower?

    And if his tower has a Firewire card, of course!

    From Firewire drive to Windows tower?

    Yes, if the drive is formatted for Windows or if he runs software that can read a Mac formatted drive.

    External hard drive locked.

    Can't you access it from another account? This may be a sledgehammer to crack a nut but try FileXaminer. I think it's a free or shareware download.
