Hi, thanks for the reply. It just skips them randomly - songs that play fine when I'm sat on the train etc are being skipped while running. At first I thought that perhaps it could be something to do with the hard drive - the jogging motion making the heads touch the platters or something...

I had a similar problem to this - turned out that I was running it off the disk image (I was in a hurry) - I hadn't copied it to the Applications folder. Therefore, when I started my computer up, and it went to launch Skype, it was mounting the disk image to find the Application. Make sure you...

I'm not really sure, but I would imagine that it's to do with all of the extra stuff that's in an application's framework. For example, a calculator doesn't just need simple arithmetic and a picture for each button etc, it also needs all of the code that allows it to interface with the window...

Looks like a problem with the Finder. Try doing a cache clean (probably won't help, but it can't hurt, and you should do it every now an then anyway. Utilities include Yasu and Cache Out X - Google them!). Other than that, an archive and install is your best option as far as I can see. Use...

Hi, I've been having a problem with my 2nd gen 15GB iPod recently in that it just skips over entire tracks. It will be playing through a playlist and it will quite literally jump over several songs at a time (not like in shuffle, the info for each individual song will be briefly displayed...

If you go into "Accounts", in System Preferences, click on your account from the list on the left, and then look under the "Login Items" tab, you will see a list of the applications that are set to lauch at login. You can use the '+' and '-' buttons to add or remove things from the list. Take...

Hi, I have been using a PowerMac G5 1.6GHz Single processor for just over a year now, and have been noticing a problem in that it unexpectadly freezes - it just locks up completely - cursor does not move, anything playing in iTunes stops etc. I have still been unable to find a solution to...

Hi, I have been using an Elgato EyeHome to play back TV recordings from my MacMini (G4 1.33GHz) through my TV. It has always had a problem in which the video 'stutters', but more recently it has got a lot worse, almost to the point of the recordings being unwatchable and I cannot find any...

Eric is probably right about the speed on Virtual PC being too slow, but if you still wanted cheaper P Emulation software, Guest PC is supposedly very good (http://www.lismoresystems.com/en/) . I have never used this myself - I bought Virtual PC before I heard about it, but the online reviews...

Yeah, i have been looking at buying a copy of PocketMac - I think it lets you sync using Bluetooth...

I know that the current version Toast Titanium has pre-made menu themes for Video DVDs. i haven't tried using it myself - I never had a need to, but it looks quite simple to use. You might want to give that a try.

I have a program called MPEG Streamclip for doing that kind of thing - I find it works better than Quicktime Pro, and its free. You can get it from: http://www.squared5.com/ Hope this helps! AkleyMac

Hello all, I have been having trounle with my PowerMac G5 (single processor) 1.6Ghz - it just keeps 'freezing'. The machine becomes completely unresponsive - iTunes stops playing, printer stops printing and the coursor will not move etc. and the only way I can recover it is by resetting by...

I had the same problem a while back - I just restarted my router and the airport base station and everything was fine. Might be worth getting the latest Airport software from support.apple.com (if you haven't already) and updating the software on the computer and the firmware on the base station.

The best virus/spyware protection software I ever came across was Webroot Spy Sweeper (www.webroot.com) . It is not free, but not too expensive (about £15 a year), but I am unsure whether it will run on Windows 98 (sure if u check the site it will tell you though).

Hi, It might be worth trying a hard reset on the Airport Express (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044 ). See if this solves the problem.

Hey, You could use the ftp server built into Mac OS X. Create a new user account (or use your own, if you don't mind handing out your password), and place the files you want to share in that user's home directory. Now, open system perferences and go to "Sharing", and then turn on "FTP...
