When a program repeatedly unexpectedly quits under OS X, or its icon bounces in the Dock but the application does not open, there are three or four common reasons for this that you can investigate: 1) Corrupted user preference file for that application. The first thing to try is...

For Windows Media Video files, download and install the free Flip4Mac plugin for QuickTime: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx For just about everything else, including AVI and Flash, download and install the Perian plugin for QuickTime, which is also free...

The fact that they are Apple files is a given, since, as I just got through telling you, Disk Utility/Repair Permissions doesn't touch anything other than Apple Software. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452 Looking at your permissions report, you have a bunch of software that is set as LRW...

Usually a blue screen on startup is due to a logon item incompatibility: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2235.html However, since this started right after upgrading your RAM, the logical thing to do would be to remove and re-seat the new RAM to see if that helps...

Can you give a few examples of the errors? That is, the most common ones? (Please don't post them all.) Maybe the company didn't explain this to you (maybe their techs aren't intelligent enough to know this themselves), but Disk Utility/Repair Permissions does not fix permissions on any...

Since it is very common for folks to have used Outlook on their old Windows machine, there are a ton of different schemes, and utilities, that folks have developed in order to get data from Outlook onto their Macintosh. Here are the ones that I know of. Note that if you have just purchased a...

I could write a long article about this. What you use all depends on the level of security you need. You can create a password protected encrypted disk image with your folder in it using Apple's Disk Utility (part of OS X), you can create a compressed archive that is password protected...

It's unlikely that you are suffering from a virus. More likely you have some backup or cloning process erroneously set to backup back to the source drive. Do you have iDisk Syncing setup? Turn it off and see what happens.

Look at the list. I've made notations.

Have a look at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8197.html The above tends to create high quality PDF's, but also huge PDF file sizes. You can reduce the size of a PDF easily and without the need for any software other than what comes with your Macintosh running OS X...

The legal and ethical thing to do is to purchase upgrade disks from Apple. However, as far as the OS disks that come with each Mac being model specific, sometimes they are, and sometimes they aren't: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2681

In the Bombich Forums is an excellent post on how to properly prepare your new external HD before you use it: http://forums.bombich.com/viewtopic.php?t=4084

There is such a think as being "penny wise and pound foolish." If you are running a business (hopefully a successful one), you shouldn't (IMHO) be looking to save a couple hundred dollars on accounting software. A couple hundred dollars is nothing compared to the amount of money a good...

A number of years ago I got tired of idiots saying that "there is no accounting software for the Macintosh." So I started keeping a list. It is now huge. Here it is. Personal accounting programs are listed separately near the end: GENERAL ACCOUNTING PROGRAMS - MacFreelance $40...

I was just thinking about this, and it occurs to me that the problem may have nothing to do with files that you have previously trashed. It may be that your drive is filled with invisible files. Use one or both of these free utilities to find out what is taking up all of your free disk space...

It shouldn't work that way. Once you have trashed files, the directory should show them as gone, and for all intents and purposes they should be gone. You need to repair your directory. Run Repair Disk: http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html Item #5 If that doesn't help, you need Disk...

Once you empty the trash on your Macintosh, for all intents and purposes the data that was in the trash is gone. All of the space that was occupied by that data is now treated by the directory as empty, and new data will immediately be able to use that space. It's true that the data that you...
