    iMac keeps freezing and airport extreme q'tion

    Sorry...I see you already did check the forums and are aware of the issue. For what it's worth, I received my new 20"/2 gig RAM/500 gig HD iMac in early Sept -- bought through the Apple online store, and it shipped from China. I don't have the problem that others are complaining about...

    iMac keeps freezing and airport extreme q'tion

    I just read some threads in the apple support forums (and digg.com) about people complaining about frequent freezes in the *new* aluminum iMac's. Speculation is that it's related to either the hard drive (Western Digital), which I doubt, or the video drivers, which seems more likely. If...

    Boot Camp, Parallels and MS Office

    If I recall correctly, the Office XP activation site "remembers" the last activation for only 3 months. If you installed Office longer than that, you should be able to install and activate on a new Windows OS, whether it exists in parallels or boot camp. You can try activating on the second...

    How to get past iTune's stupid DRM?

    Easy answer: www.allofmp3.com The software referred to above -- http://www.hymn-project.org/jhymndoc -- doesn't work with iTunes 6 so you'd need to open a second iTunes account and download using iTunes 5, then strip out the DRM. This isn't an option, though, for videos I believe.

When I want to get songs on to my pc, I either use PodUtil shareware to extract the songs from the iPod (there's a mac and a windows version), or simply copy the song files to a...

    Stuck on Apache Default Web Page

    Is this happening in one browser or several (eg Safari v. Firefox)? Can you email from the problem machine? Also, what happens if you turn off Apache (personal web server) from the sharing control panel preference? Have you checked your hosts file? Log in as Admin (may need to turn on hidden...

    Squeeze Huge iTunes Library

    This will work though perhaps a dedicated audio program will do it better/faster. Anyway: 1. Set iTunes preferences to import files as mp3 at 128 bitrate. Right click on any non Apple protected file in your library and choose to convert it to mp3 (even if it already is). The file will convert...

    Backing up iTunes - 2

    Can't find your last post you refer to, but try this. In iTunes, use File | Add to Libary and navigate to the folder where your mp3's and other music files are (typically under your music folder in your home directory). iTunes will reimport all the files, though your settings and playlists may...

    > You can only transfer songs to the platform the iPod is set to Not sure if I understand you, but iPods (like any HD) formatted to windows can interface with the mac os, but mac formatted ipods can't be read by windows. I use my windows formatted ipod for music and as a huge flash drive to...

    how to build multi language pages in dreamweaver mx 2004 using drop down menues to select the language

    "Standard" way to do this is to load all the content into a database and have the single page call the appropriate data (ie, appropriate language) based on the user's selection. There's nothing about DW which will natively do this, though the software may speed up the whole development process.

    iMac crashes after going into sleep mode

    This may or may not be relevant. I have a Kennsington bluetooth mouse which causes both my iMac and Powerbook (Tiger, 10.4.5) to awake on their own from sleep into a freeze mode. Kennsington replaced the mouse. Issue remains. Using USB mouse...no problem.

    Boot start up commands don't work

    Problem solved: the Apple store removed my 3rd party RAM before readying the unit to ship it for repair, and the boot commands started working again. It appears the RAM just needed to be re-seated.

    Per your suggestion I've now tried re-setting the firmware password using the app on the install CD. First I set a real password, then I disabled it. No luck - still no boot up commands works.

I have not set a firmware password...
