    Trash crash

    It seems to be the contents of a single folder that are the promary culprits. It is a folder with some 5 GB of old data that I have backed up and now want to remove from the hard drive. Test show that any file from this folder causes the gray screen to appear when I invoke 'empty trash'. I...

    synching iCal and Palm

    This is the solution. I was unaware of the conduit program. The link shown leads you to the download site a walk-through. It worked perfectly, first time. Thanks again

    synching iCal and Palm

    You would think that would be the case, but iSynch tells you to use HotSynch manager, which doesn't recognize iCal

    synching iCal and Palm

    Can someone point me to a 'how to' site to do this? there are plenty of statements like 'use isync'; 'convert to vcal files' .... but no step-by-step instructions. Apple's ical page suggests it is a built in function and has a link to Palm which is dead. thanks

    Address book printing

    This may be the dumbest question yet, but I can't figure it out. If I have a group of people in my address book, how do I print all of them out on a single page?

    upgrading to Quicktime pro

    I upgraded to QT 6 Pro (as confirmed in the registration panel) but don't seem to have some of the added features listed. There does not seem to be any way to add items to my favorites list unless I am already viewing it. When I try to access most sites, such as npr I get a message that 'Our...

    Games on a 20" flat screen

    This is embarrasing: it is what i should have thought of first. I trashed the old preference file and restarted. At that point the game offered a series of resolution options that work. Thanks for the patience

    Safari won't load (m)any pages

    I have *many* problems with Safari either not loading a page at all or randomly displaying images in inappropriate places. Sometimes all that shows is a single image. If I do a refresh a different image appears, but not the entire page. These pages show up correctly on both IE and Netscape, so...

    iphoto autolaunch

    While I want to keep iPhoto available, I don't want it to launch when I plug in my camera. I have looked for a way to change this default setting, but don't see one in iPhoto itself. Could someone point out the obvious to me?

    Random images in safari

    I have searched for previous posts on this, with no luck. When I use Safari to look at some sites it shows images that seem to be picked at random from anywhere on the web site. The result is that where image A should be shown I might see image B instead. If I do a refresh a different random...
