    Greatest disaster that ever struck my computer

    As to your first question, arrangement info is stored in the invisible .DS_Store file in each folder. If you show invisible files and restore a backup of that file for your Desktop folder, you might be able to restore the arrangement. That said, I agree that you're asking for trouble by storing...

    Help! Image Capture Issues

    Folders?! I suppose only if you're the kind of person who likes to browse and organize photos in folders. Could also be dependent on the version of iPhoto you're using. But Apple's intention was to prevent the user from having to organize manually in the Finder and ease organization within the...

    How to create a folder in Finder via a right-click menu

    That may be the case for some especially creative ideas that no one else ever thought of. I encourage feedback anyway and practice giving it myself on a regular basis. You never know when a developer may listen, especially when you're submitting a bug report.

    How to create a folder in Finder via a right-click menu

    Why not just open the desired parent folder, create the new one, and go back to the previous view? It's possible that Cocoatech's Path Finder has the feature you seek.

    Bizarre left click issue..

    What identical thing does it do with a mouse? Do you mean both trackpad and USB mouse respond with a secondary click? In the Mouse pane of System Preferences, is secondary click set for left or right button? Perhaps simply trashing mouse and trackpad preferences would help?

    Excel for Mac showing '#VALUE' error

    I think value errors are either because the column is too narrow or there's something wrong with the formula, like it refers to an empty or textual cell.

    Is it OK to copy home folder and/or back up with SuperDuper while working?

    With the price difference $15 or less between 5400 and 7200, I'd go with the latter from Other World Computing, which only provides the best, thoroughly tested hard disk models.

    install OSX using TMachine

    Are you intending to migrate permanently to the mini, or do you already have a second license to Mac OS X? You don't need to use your Time Machine drive to mirror because you can connect the two Macs by FireWire, start one in Target Disk Mode (hold T at startup), and use Carbon Copy Cloner to...

    Is it OK to copy home folder and/or back up with SuperDuper while working?

Just know that the current state of any open, unsaved files will not be backed up; only the most recently saved...

    Wireless adapter for iBook G3

    Sorry, wait just a second. One issue that may come up with a USB adapter altogether is that the ones on the market today are for USB 2.0 ports. Your iBook has the previous generation USB 1.1 ports. No doubt the product will connect to your Mac, however the speed may be unsatisfactory. You'd be...
