    Switching to an alternate speaker output using software only?

    Have you tried using LineIn, a small utility from Rogue Amoeba? Or, perhaps more simply, using the Volume menu extra, Option-click the menu and choose input and output.

    MobileMe Mail filtering on iPad 2

    Though inconvenient, this is the current behavior. Whether filters are set on the MobileMe server or in Mail.app on a Mac, they filter Mail immediately. However, mobile users won't see that the messages have arrived until they browse to the destination folder. The Inboxes are the only mailboxes...

    Launching a program when a new file appears in a directory?

    Don't know about Launch Services, however a third way would be to attach an AppleScript to a Folder Action.

    Powermac G5 or Mac Pro

    Definitely get a Mac Pro instead of a G5. Perhaps you can afford an older or refurbished model instead of the 2.8 GHz one. Where are you able to find a G5 anyway? What's your budget?

    This said free site, then immediately asked for $

    Macosx.com has never asked for money. I don't know what you saw. Please take a screenshot and post it next time that happens. You can contact Scott for more info. Perhaps he knows why. In the meantime, you say you can't find your Documents folder? It's not in your Home folder like usual? Is it...

    Any help if you upgrade to iOS 4.2.1? It should also fix any slowness you're experiencing on your aging phone.

    Declining Updates

    I disagree. I'd say that more often Apple will show a newer update which combines the changes of previous updates so you don't have to install as many. (Microsoft, on the other hand, hasn't figured out how to do that with its Office updates, at least through version 2008.) Besides Mac OS X...

    Declining Updates

    You may need it anyway because it's not an update to Logic Pro specifically but contains support for all "pro" Logic products, both the professional Logic Pro and the prosumer Logic Express. Sounds like this update nonspecifically offers support for new technologies. And some users are reporting...

    Declining Updates

    The relevant command is Ignore in the Updates menu. On Mac OS X system updates, it's not unhealthy to wait a week if you're concerned. On occasion, there's a serious problem that wasn't discovered in testing that leads to an update being pulled and reposted. Which Logic Pro update is appearing...

    Declining Updates

    I would get more info on the update. If it's showing up when you only have Logic Express, perhaps it contains supporting files that are compatible with all flavors of Logic.

    Can I connect a MacBook to my TV?

    What model MacBook do you have? You either need a Mini DisplayPort or Mini DVI adapter, depending on your MacBook model. Other end should be HDMI. Also model dependent is whether adapter integrates audio or runs it through your audio port.

    URGENT. Mac Box Set installation question

    Thanks for clarifying. The term "clean install" used to have a different meaning, which I suppose was already confusing. Nonetheless, as you said, the Snow Leopard installer does what one intends based on what's present.

    URGENT. Mac Box Set installation question

    The only way Snow Leopard will install is as a clean install, regardless of whether you are updating from a previous version. Snow Leopard will only install on Intel based Macs. There is no erase and install option; if you want equivalent, you have to erase the volume with Disk Utility before...

    "Default" Wireless Network?

    In AirPort's Advanced pane of Network preferences, drag the preferred network to the top of the list.

    Very new to Mac. Installing Leopard.

    I see it's no less than $150 on Amazon. I don't know what you were buying on eBay before that didn't go so well. True, caution is important. However, as long as you choose a black retail disc and not a gray restore disc, you can't go wrong, especially if it will save you a bundle. If the cost...
