    loaded Parallels - not working

    I would be surprised that the accountants wanted to go Mac simply for the accounting software. The economics are not there. So swaring off Mac big time, is probably hurting them more than anyone else. The issue here is, don't expect software to run on different OS platforms in the same way...

    loaded Parallels - not working

    I am surprised that the QB pro for mac is so weak in functionality. Please don't take this question negatively but are you sure that you have the latest release? This may avoid the unfortunate fight with parallels.

    Hod do i clear all personal user files?

    Ooops, Last point, if the mac you wish to sell is not so old, you may want to buy a 10.5 license and reformat the disk using 10.5. A 10.5 mac is worth more than a 10.4. So this should up the price of your mac to cover the costs of the license purchase. So in the end it is break even.

    Hod do i clear all personal user files?

    It all depends to how pervasive you want your cleanup to be. If you really have a need for protecting your personal information, reformat the disk or change HD as proposed by SATCOMER or GREP. I would opt for changing the disk and would physically destroy the disk with information...

    Desktop Problem.

    I had this problem also - after install of 10.5.1. Its a persmissions issue but fix permissions did not resolve the issue. The only solution I found was to create a new account from blank. However, =>> do not just delete your account, because the files are still there <<= You can...

    Browse other time machine disks

    It is a guess, but normally apple menu options are quite explicit. I'll see if I can set something up... ugh will have to do full backup of a mac before I can test... that will take a day... but maybe worth it.

    college students embrace mac

    several statements in the press point to an ever increasing percentage of college students opting for mac. So in 4 to 5 years we should expect freshly graduated students will seek jobs that are "mac-friendly". Problem is I see most blue chip company CTOs in Switzerland sneer at mac. I...

    Air

    About my Air... When I ordered it I was unsure whether to but the external DVD drive and eventually opted not to spend the money. Well, I can confirm that the remote disk works perfectly. Backup through time machine, via Wifi, is however a lengthy matter. Think its related to timemachine not...

    Air

    My iPod touch does not have an apple, nor a command, nor an option, nor a command, nor a function key. I don't miss any (except - yes - the apple key). My iPod touch has a world key - simplicity at its best. Thank-you apple

    Hi Giaguara Concerning whether I am using XP as a normal VMware virtual machine or as a Virtual PC import. I did not know this difference existed. I installed XP using the VMware quick installer and XP disks. Maybe this can help. On the ipconfig, I had already checked and the IP seems...
