I meant having Apple install the memory. Although I own a putty knife, I'm unlikely to open the case myself. :eek: Maybe Apple's CSR thought that I meant doing it myself. Thanks for the info!

Did I get the correct information from Apple's store (1-800-my-apple)? I was just told that upgrading the memory on a Mac Mini from the base 512 MB RAM to 1 GB classifies as "custom configured" and hence the Mini wouldn't be returnable. That seems pretty draconian. I'm hoping that maybe the CSR...

Are you sure that you're installing Firefox and not just running it from the installation folder? You have to download the DMG, open it (if it doesn't do so on its own), and then drag the Firefox icon from the folder that appears on your screen to someplace else. Usually that someplace else is...

Jon, Welcome! I hope you get a better answer, but if worse comes to worst, you might try software like Audio Hijack (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/).

Getting the album covers seems to be very sensitive to the tags for artist, year, etc. If you can find the album in the iTunes Store, match up the tags and it should go. (Slow process, I know...) Sometimes I had to request the album art multiple times before iTunes actually did so, but...

Thanks Qion! It took me a while to figure out how that device helps, seeing that it only has one ethernet jack. As luck would have it, I have an extra Ethernet router sitting around unused, so it looks like I plug everything into it, plug the router into the bridge, and I'm off to the races...

I'm going to add two toys that need internet access to my entertainment system and would like to connect them to my home network wirelessly. Do I need to buy a wireless adapter for each of them (expensive and ugly) or is there some sort of box into which I could plug each new toy, connecting...

Oh great! Now look what you've done! I can't see my dock anymore without thinking - hey that bright iTunes icon sure is annoying? Thanks guys! ;) Prior to OSX, did Mac used to have more visual consistency across apps? Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc. vary quite a bit. The thing that strikes me in...

Under the menu item "Advanced" I have "Deauthorize Audible Account..." Does everyone have this? I don't remember opening an Audible account. I hope it doesn't charge a gazillion dollars monthly!

How is the dock icon different other than changing the "music-note" from green to blue? I'm not challenging you; apparently I don't remember what my screen looked like five minutes ago. There's an equalizer under View | Show Equalizer.

The Refurbished Mac Mini 1.66GHz Intel Core Duos at Apple's store are now priced higher that the new model. (The refurb link is way down the left column at store.apple.com.) My guess is that the refurb 1.66GHz Core Duo will drop to $479, but it's still $649, while the new one is $599. Does...

Is there an easy way I can map a keyboard command in Excel 2004 to remove hyperlinks? Now I go to Insert | Hyperlink (or right click or cmd-K) and then click the button "Remove Link." I think the button mucks things up if I wanted to use OSX's Preferences | Keyboard & Mouse | Keyboard Shortcuts...

Thanks! I just noticed that Marilyn Monroe is misspelled too. Go Bette! Beat Audrey! (I guess that cheer isn't the right (American) cultural reference for this thread.)

Well, I guess it's not going to be changed. Users of Firefox can change it themselves by adding the following to userContent.css: @-moz-document domain(macosx.com) { td[class="tcat"] span[class="smallfont"] { color: #999 !important; } }

Could you fix the spelling of Bette Davis? www.imdb.com/name/nm0000038/ Grace Kelly www.imdb.com/name/nm0000012/ Bette Davis www.imdb.com/name/nm0000030/ Audrey Hepburn www.imdb.com/name/nm0000079/ Raquel Welch www.imdb.com/name/nm0000066/ Jane Russell www.imdb.com/name/nm0000054/ Marilyn...

If the buyer is installing his own copy of OSX, I suppose you could install some version of Linux or FreeBSD Unix for free. Just make sure it's a version for your chip. http://www.freebsd.org/ Also, if the buyer is installing his own OSX, you should be able to completely erase the harddrive...

I think I got it. I wouldn't have thought this was possible - much less so easy. Does it look right?

Thanks lbj! The two smart playlists are indeed smart playlists and they work fine. The problem is that I'd like to get a particular intersection of those two playlists on the iPod. I only see a way to import one playlist (picture attached). What I do now is highlight every song in 4-5 star...

I'd like to fill my iPod Shuffle from two smart playlists. I do so manually now, but figure there must be a better way. Can anyone help? The two playlists are: 1) Music rated 4 or 5 stars, and 2) Music rated 3 stars. What I do now is copy all of my 4 and 5 star music, ordered by decreasing...

Seeing that your experience was so much better than mine, I thought I'd try again to move to Quicken for Mac. I noticed one thing that really gives me pause: The Quicken documents on migrating between versions clearly say that 401(k)s do not exist in Quicken for Mac. :confused: Did you...
