To make your life easier put the dot 3 extension (.doc for Word) on your files created on the Mac (on the PC they are the default when saving a file). Go to the Finder and select preferences, then the advanced tab. Here you can surpress (or not) all file extensions. Mac people will tend to not...

Apparently you can wash down jackets and then dry with some tennis balls in a dryer to help with fluffing. Google drying down jackets.

I think you need OS 9.2 to run in classic.

The article below gives some things you can try. From apple at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106798 Solution Tip: Users of Mac OS X 10.4 have the option of clicking the "Assist me" button in the Network preference pane, then following the onscreen prompts for network...

One thing to try is to burn the iDVD to disk (not DVD) and then see if you can use Disk Utility to burn that file to the DVD. This will probably distinguish between two problems: 1. A know issue with iDVD burning that I have had as well as others. The above trick solves that problem 2. An issue...

Yes the firewire target mode works (assuming the target HD is working). I have used to transfer files from an old mac to a new mac. The target computer should show up as a disk on your computer desktop.

Not that this helps you immediately but according to apple this is a harmless message. Can you boot with the install disk and see the main hard drive? If you can see the drive you might be able to copy off your files. ---- From apple Some messages that Disk Utility reports when checking...

The Fink system I am using allows you to download "pre-compiled" binaries, but I did have to install the X11 system. As I understand what I am doing, I am not compiling the code locally (something I wanted to avoid until I am more experienced). The Fink system is downloading any needed extra...

I just dowloaded Flip4Mac which is a plug in for Quicktime that opens .WMV files. Microsoft announced this week they were dropping the Windows Media player for Mac but are sending everyone to this site. It is free and so far my testing says it works for these files. I also have mplayer, but my...

I installed the X11 "system" on my mac (included with OS X system disks) so I can use open source programs that need a graphic interface, like the image editing GIMP. Symphonix, is this what you are saying "runs natively"? I still had to install this system and then figure out how to download...

I think subscribing means you sign up to receive a calendar from someone else. So the local Jr high has a iCal calendar of school events and we can subscribe to this, and it shows up on our calendar. Publishing means you are putting your calendar up for others to subscribe to. So the apple dot...

Not a security expert, but my feeling along these lines: None of the virus stuff that hits the Windows OS will do anything to a Mac. Mac can get a few macro issues from Office files (not sure what harm they can do though other than hose up the Office programs). Don't hear much about Mac OS...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostscript I had to look this up, I had seen but not needed to use Ghostscript. I am not sure if this definition clears this up further. My take is that ghostscript allows non-postscript native printers to print postscript files. I think both of your printers are...

Sorry I messed up.

You have downloaded the printer driver for Linux (or X11) operating systems, not Mac OSX. [Mac OSX is based on unix and you can download/use Linux or X11 which is apples version but probably do not have this installed]. For Mac OSX we need to go to HP's and Apple's sites to see what they...

The devil is in the details, and why you have to find someone with experience or keep trying yourself. The exact location and name of the data and preference files are fairly obscure in OS X - which is why off the top of our heads we have not recalled exactly which ones to move. Figuring out...

If you don't have a dot Mac account then you probably have to go through the first route I mentioned (moving all the appropriate data to a shared folder).

Most of us have only shared some information, for example iTunes sharing is common. So it appears like we are not helping you fully because we had not considered sharing absolutely all our applications. The OS is initially set up so that users have separate information. If you are going to share...

I normally use Linksys equipment but was in a hurry that day and CompUSA was out of the small, cheap USB version that I was seeking. I don't even recall having to load any software but it could have been. It was easy enough that I do not recall having issues.

I think almost all do work. I have a Belkin and it works. They are all configured through a browser once plugged in. I think the OS X Network under System Preferences picks up the presence of the unit once it is plugged in.
