Hold on. Even if the machine is not authorized to play purchased music ( and KarlR mentioned CDs, not iTunes Store bought music), the music should still be there. KarlR, there's no spyware built into iTunes. By default it manages music by moving it into the iTunes Library folder so users don't...

Could be that your machine is so fast that the processor check it does is interpreting its specs as too slow, a bug.

I'm not sure what the .ltl file is, but I'd repair permissions using Disk Utility (first time I've suggested that in _years_!). Id also check to make sure you have write privileges for your iTunes library (usually in ~/Music). You can do so by selecting the iTunes library folder and pressing...

Did you select a widescreen theme in iDVD? Some are 4:3, some are 16:9.

Did you try deleting com.apple.address book.plist in ~/Library/Preferences ?

All Macs have been Quartz Extrme capable for years now

Starhorsepax, It's very unlikely your machine is affected by a Trojan because there aren't many that affect your Mac. It's common for there to be a lot of system log entries, such as the ones posted by Safari. If you're worried about it, get the free iAntivirus, install it, and check your...

You could do an upgrade yourself and save some $$. The link below explains more. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2266 I've bought lots of mem from www.memorytogo.com, but there are several other good sources like www.kingston.com and www.crucial.com. Stay away from generic RAM unless sold by...

Booting with Command-s didn't work? (Backups can save you in these situations. Carbon Copy Cloner is free. It can make a bootable copy on another drive, such as a USB drive.)

Doubledream, keep in mind you can do about everything you'd ever need or want to do with a regular Administrative account. You most likely will never need the root user enabled. I enabled it years ago on one of my machines just to check it out. Then I promptly forgot it. I understand what...

Doubledream, Apple does not make its own hard drives. It uses standard drives from Seagate, Western Digital, etc. Your Mac has a Seagate drive in it with one partition. One partition means one part. That part is formatted for your Mac and is probably called "Macintosh HD". If you delete the...

USB Overdrive might do that for you. I guess it's "nagware." It puts up a window when you first start it reminding you to pay the shareware fee of $30. But it's fully functioning other than that.

No, that's a good idea. A good way to make a wireless hard drive or wireless printer. Find a router with a USB port or a wireless print server. My old Airport Express does it. The Airport Express does it (I believe) as does the Extreme. And it can be used by any OS, the reason for her mention...

Yeah, either a bad cable or a bad port. Bad cable=try a different one. Bad port=time to call Applecare for warranty repair. Do you have another Firewire device to test the port?

Following up on ElDiablo's post, your wife may want to drag both her home folder and Application folder to the Dock. Click on Finder, click the "Go" menu, click "Home", and drag the little Home folder icon in the top middle of the window to the Dock. Double-click the "Macintosh HD" folder and...

1.) Do you have Apple's wireless keyboard? If you do, look on the left side toward the back. See that metal circle with a slot inside it? Use a coin to turn that slot counter-clockwise to open the battery compartment. It takes 3 AA's if I remember correctly. 2.) A "USB" keyboard is any computer...

Automator has (added in 10.5, I believe) the ability to record your kepresses and mouse clicks. I tried it early on and it didn't work very well. But maybe it will work for you. You'll see the red circular record button on top of the window.

Buy it from a reputable place and it should be fine. I think by "termination" Tayla Green means the plugs on the end.

Maybe a dumb question, but have you clicked the Apple (top left), click System Preferences, Click Network, and look to see if the wireless device shows up in there? Try clicking the check box next to "Show Airport status in Menu Bar" which will put a wireless icon in the upper-right of the...

I've had a few Matsushita disc burners fail. The one in my latest MacBook Pro 13" will do everything except burn dual-layer discs. So I have to do another warranty repair. Yipee.
