    point and shoot digital camera 4x6 prints?

    My mother in law's point and shoot digital (sony) was set to 3.1M- when I transferred the pictures to my computer and tried to print them to 4x6 borderless, they all came out small. I remember having this same problem in the past with my camera, and on subsequent uses I switched my camera...

    safari pages slow to load

    Hi- flat panel Imac- 10.4.7 but in prior versions as well- I have noticed that many web pages start to load- then stop- I get the beach ball but as soon as I hit the stop button and then refresh, it loads instantaneously. In essence, I have to click, stop and click reload for way too many...

    verify disc

    wasn' t the upgrade to 10.4.4 supposed to allow disc verification from hard drive/start up disc rather than from the cd/dvd? I know it cannot repair the drive, but I thought that one would be able to verify it... thanks Mike

    software update 10.4.2

    didn't help-but thanks ( I had tried that already)- any ideas on why it might suddenly quit? other postings report exactly the same phenomenon and once again I truly feel it corresponds to 10.4.3 being placed on the apple site for update/download-- oh, by the way I am hesitant to put 10.4.3 on...

    "the application Software Update quit unexpectedly"

    me too- nothing fixed it- repair permissions, repair disc, preferential treatment, disc warrior- it has just stopped working. Rumor has it upgrade to 10.4.3 will help but many posts suggest the upgrade has caused many problems- update quitting seems to correspond to apple putting 10.4.3 out- I...
