I've set up a letterhead template in Word for a client. It has her identity graphics in the header and footer, and the graphics run right up to the edge of the page (bleed). She uses this template, adds her own letter content, then prints to PDF using the OS print dialog. She sends these to...

I want to set up secure file sharing of my home G5 (running Tiger), to be accessible from outside the home. I'm not looking to to VNC - I want to be able to mount my home drive to access files stored there. I don't want evildoers to be able to sniff my password or intercept my files. I have a...

I haven't used Migration Assistant. But I imagine it will only copy applications and data. I've also done some system updates and have Font Agent managing system fonts, and I doubt Migration Assistant would handle those items. Since the machines are essentially identical, I wouldn't think there...

Here's the story: 1. Got new Mac Pro with Parallels and XP Pro preinstalled. (Disks included) 2. Installed all apps, updated everything, moved my life to this machine. 3. Discovered it was damaged in transit, so a replacement is being sent out, also with Parallels and XP Pro...

OK ok - I'm convinced. I'm going to see if they can cross ship a new one and we can swap hard drives.

My wife's new Mac Pro arrived today and the bottom rear "handle" (actually the "foot") is a bit dented in the middle. Looking in the box it appears the box took a hit there, munching the styrofoam a bit and denting the foot of the mac. It starts and runs fine as far as I can tell. I reported...

Just got a new Mac Pro and manually downloaded 10.5.2, installing in safe boot mode. After rebooting in safe boot mode (while still IN safe boot mode) I ran software update to install the other 14 items that hadn't yet been done. When this was done, I clicked "restart" and the next thing I...

I use Retrospect to back up (with compression) to an external LaCie drive with both FW 400 and FW 800 interfaces. Right now I'm using a long-ish (15') FW 400 cable since I keep my backup drive secured away from my desk. When I'm doing a full backup of 300+ gigs it takes quite a while. I was...

I'm running a stock G5 dual-core 2.3 mHz with 2 GB of RAM and I just got Quake 4. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to play it at any kind of reasonable display quality. At anything above Medium quality, low resolution it gets really jerky. The video card is, I believe, a GeForce 6600 with...

playback" (sorry - your subject line wouldn't allow a complete description) An update or two back iTunes started doing this thing called "determining gapless playback" in which it counts to some number out of some other number (e.g. "Analyzing 2 of 383") and then freezes with the spinning...

Hi - just updated to 10.4.8 myself and my alerts are off the left edge of my 24" HP flatscreen - just enough showing to pull them onscreen. Incidentally, I'm running 6 calendars total - if that makes any difference. Just left feedback with Apple.

No - Mac/PC Mall (who also won't give me my money back, and said "talk to HP"). _possibly_ some light at the end - got the issue escalated at HP and perhaps someone will be nice... Realized yesterday that the current monitor actually has 6 stuck pixels - 4 greens, a red and a white. I think...

More on the HP 2335 woes: number 6 (replacement #5) is bluish on the left, pinkish on the right, and has a stuck red pixel. HP tells me they have a "no-refund policy". Great. I guess all I can do is say "hey people, do NOT buy an HP 2335 monitor, and whatever you DO buy from HP, realize...

Just got HP 2335 replacement number 4 (or the 5th monitor in total, counting the original). This one has a pinkish cast on the left side, and bluish cast on the right. Tonally it's pretty good overall, with no serious dark or light areas (number 4/replacement 3 has less color cast but the left...

Well, PC Mall won't let me return the thing, so it's back to HP for number 5 (geez). Guess I'll keep pounding on them until the warranty runs out - or I get a good one.

I'm in the land of monitor woes at the moment. I bought an HP 2335 23" flatscreen 10 months ago (on Macworld's recommendation, plus positive reviews out there) and have had nothing but trouble. The first one showed up with a stuck red pixel right in the middle. The second one looked like it...
