Apple says that you can not resize a partition that has a Master Boot Record, which is in the first sector of the drive. Is it also referring to external drives? Is the first sector the same thing as the first partition? I did resize the first partition of the external drive, which was a...

I just read on the Apple website that yes, you will lose your data when you resize. C'est la vie. Luckily, it's not my only copy.

I was told by Apple that if I used Disk Utility in Leopard to delete one partition and resize another one to take over the amount of space that was gained by deleting the first partition, that no data would be lost. That, however, does not seem to be true, as when I open the resized partition...

The computer is an iMac and it has 9.2 on it. It has some programs that are quite old, but that are still used. How do I upgrade it to Tiger so that both OS 9 and OS 10 can be used? Also, after upgrading, if I install a printer for OS 10, will it also print in the OS 9 environment, or will...

Thanks. It's not showing up under Apple Talk, and since it's not on the internet, even though it is plugged into the hub via ethernet, something might be wrong with the ethernet jack, although she says it was working before.

How do I check and see if the ethernet drivers are installed? It's plugged into a hub that is connected to the net, and all of the other computers can connect. How do I troubleshoot? Also, is OS 9 able to print to an HP Laserjet 2100 tn via an ethernet connection? If so, how? I know OS...

I already tried this: http://www.riches.com.au/articles/export-outlook-entourage.htm When I dropped the mbox file onto the Entourage icon or in to Entourage, it brings up a compose email window with the file attached. I then tried to import it as a MBOX-format text file, and when I was...

A couple of days ago, my Entourage 2004 started acting up. Now, every time I open it, it acts as if I just set up all of the email accounts in it, and it retrieves all of my old email. Suggestions?

Thanks. Is that for the Macbook as well? It says it's for the Macbook Pro. Since they are still under warranty, they are just going to take it in. Luckily there are no clicking sounds.

Great. Thanks. I'll also have him run a disk repair with the install disk and see if that helps.

Here is what a friend of mine emailed me today: I turned on the Macbook today, it didn't come on. the screen was just blank. It was on, but blank. Just now, (maybe an hour after being on) an icon of a folder with a question mark on it is flashing in the middle of the screen, and then it...

Even though X11 is listed in the Utilities folder in Applications, do I still need to install X11 from the Leopard DVD? The reason I ask is Wilbert Loves Apple assumes that you need to install it. It does not note that it may already be on your system...

OK. Thanks. Which do you like better, GIMP or Pixelmator? Which is easier to use for the average user? Also, X11 is already installed on her new Macbook that has Leopard. It says it is X11.app 2.1.1. I've already done all of the Software Updates for her, so she has 10.5.2. Do I also have to...

What is the best free program that can do what Photoshop can do (or as much as possible) that is compatible with Leopard 10.5.2? I know about GIMP, but it has some issues with 10.5.2, apparently. If it does work, then please provide a link to instructions on how to make it work with 10.5.2...

My friend mistakenly deleted part of his calendar (before a certain date last year) in Entourage on his new iMac. He is running Tiger 10.4.11. Is there a way to retrieve it, even if it means buying special software? But, of course he would prefer free software.

OK. Thanks. What about Keynote? Will that work? And will people be able to read the presentation in a YouTube video at the normal size of a YouTube video (not when it's full screen because many people won't make it full screen)?

Which program can I use to make a video from pictures and music that I can upload onto YouTube? iMovie? What settings should I use for a YouTube video for optimal viewing? Do you happen to have a link to a tutorial, or is someone nice enough to give a quick tutorial? Thanks.

Turning the mic down to half-way did not fix the issue, and none of the other programs that I have open use the mic.

Have a 2.0GHz Black Macbook, and the internal mic is working intermittently. Sometimes it works great, and sometimes it just records static. In Audio MIDI setup, under the Audio Devices tab, the Clock Source is grayed out so I can't change it, and is set to "Default". Under Audio Input...

What worked was opening each infected file (disabling macros upon opening), copying the entire doc, creating a new doc, pasting it in the new doc and saving it, and then deleting the infected doc. Also had to delete Word's Normal template, open Word, create a new doc, close Word, and then lock...
