I use FireFox with Adblock Plus and never see pop-up ads.

No, because to do that I would have to enter a PIN and I no longer have the PIN. Yeah, I know. I'm usually very careful about such things and should have written the PIN on the User Manual, which I have, but I slipped up on this one. I was hoping I could find a Cropmark web site that...

I have been using the LMP Bluetooth numeric keypad for about a year and have been very pleased with it -- until now. It stopped working. Well, they were the original batteries so that's not surprising. I replaced the batteries, rebooted the computer, but the keypad still doesn't work...

I have 49 smart albums and have from time to time edited or verified an album's criteria by right clicking the album, then selecting "Edit Smart Album" from the pop-up menu. The other day, I had edited an album. Some time later, I wanted to edit another album and found "Edit Smart Album"...

(actually it's my wife's iPod) When last I reported here, the iPod was locked up. It was unresponsive to the keypad and could not be turned off. The drive kept spinning so of course the battery ran down. I took it to the Genius Bar. Having arrived early, I idly plugged it in to one of the...

It is quite likely that Apple will fix iTunes so that it won't damage any more iPods. It's too bad they didn't do that by 9.03; if they had, they would have saved me grief. There is, however, little reason to think Apple is working on a fix that will restore the damaged iPods, since by now many...

I hadn't resynched my wife's 80 GB iPod Classic, which stays in her car, since last summer, until yesterday. The sync did not go to completion. Now the iPod is not recognized by either iTunes 9.03 nor the OS X 10.6.2 Finder. The iPod will not turn off. It is playing continuously; pressing the...

This is a strange thread. I started it three years ago... and reported I had solved my Bonjour printing problem in Leopard by reinstalling the printer driver from an administrator account. Later, one of the upgrades to Leopard (10.5.7?) destroyed Bonjour almost completely. Either iMac could...

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and iLife 09. iPhoto 09 HELP will open, but clicking on anything produces a pulldown that says, "Help Viewer cannot open this content." Searching in Help produces a list of topics, but clicking on one of them causes no action at all. HELP works in other...

Recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and iLife 09. iPhoto 09 HELP will open, but clicking on anything produces a pulldown that says, "Help Viewer cannot open this content." HELP works in other iLife apps and in iPhoto in other accounts, so the problem is specific to iPhoto and my account...

It is in the Pictures, not Documents, hierarchy, right clicking on a folder doesn't offer a "show package contents" option, and the last thing I want to do is delete the entire library. But thanks for trying. Deleting the zombie photos means comparing ~Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals...

Some of these photos were trashed many months, maybe years ago. I only discovered them recently.

I posted this to the forum but got no response. There are photos that have been deleted from the iPhoto data base but remain in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/... There is no way to access these pictures using iPhoto. They can only be seen using Finder. They are complete files, both Original...

The folder ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/ contains many photos that should have been deleted from the iPhoto Library, both modified and originals. These photos were put in the iPhoto trash and the trash emptied. They cannot be accessed from iPhoto, only with the Finder. Is there a way to purge...

That didn't work. However, I think I did find the solution, which I am posting here in case someone has a problem similar to mine and Googles this up. Background: After installing 10.5.7 on my wife's G5 iMac, the system crashed and would not reboot. I don't know what caused the problem...

iMac G5, 10.5.7, had to repartition, reinstall from DVD, install combo update, restore from Time Machine. Everything including iPhoto 6 seems to be working EXCEPT System Preferences for Desktop and Screen Saver. They no longer offer the option to access the iPhoto 6 library. Worse, whenever...

Update: After writing the above, I tried various things. The last thing I tried was swapping keyboards between my Intel iMac and my wife's G5 iMac, to see if the problem traveled with the keyboard or remained with my machine. (I was kind of hoping this would be my excuse to buy one of those...

Once in a while the trackball or the keyboard loses its connection to the computer. The situation is corrected by unplugging the USB connector (the trackball from the keyboard or the keyboard from the iMac) and reinserting it. Here is the System Log from the most recent loss of keyboard...

Network consists of D-Link router (provided with Verizon FiOS), and D-Link "range extender". Intel iMac talks directly to the router, iMac G5 connects via range extender. This network has been working for many months and nothing was changed except upgrade of both machines to OS X 10.5.5...

I have a similar problem. Our two iMacs (an Intel and a G5) both connect to the Internet with no problem using Wifi, but they no longer can connect to one another over the Wifi. I *think* this problem arose only after I upgraded both machines to OS X 10.5.5. I can't be sure because Internet...
