Installing Windows with Boot Camp is not exactly simple. People sometimes get confused during Windows installation. Windows asks what partition to install Windows on and lists the size of the two partitions in bytes or KB instead of GB. People pick the wrong partition unaware of the potentially...

I'm not sure why you're seeing a stop sign (circle with diagonal line crossing?). You can also click the first file of a series, hold down SHIFT, and click the last file. All files in between will also be selected. I usually use Toast Titanium (I have ver. 7), though I've burned many CDs and...

OS 9, that was awhile ago for me. Let's see. If you find the Microsoft Outlook application file itself, click on it and press Apple-I (Get Info), you can change the allotment of memory for the app. Have you tried to increase the memory it's allowed to use? As for the extensions problem, that...

Sparrowhawk, I just tried it myself. No stop sign for me, so . . . What computer do you have? What operating system (e.g. 10.4, 10.5)? Bot

Ubuntu seemed user-friendly to me when I evaluated it. (I installed the X86 version.)

Poptarty, Try this: http://us.fixstars.com/support/downloads/ This is where you can download Yellow Dog Linux. Download it, burn the image to CD, and try it out. Hold down C after you reboot your iBook. Let us know if you run into any snags. Bot

More information: Macs now come in two types, older models with PowerPC processors and newer Macs with Intel processors. Yours is a PowerPC machine. You need a version of Linux that is made for PowerPC machines. There are versions out there. One name I remember is Yellow Dog. You can Google for...

Happy to hear it solved a problem for you. I looked into the Gutenprint drivers when I was trying to use my Airport Express router, which also allows you to plug in a printer and use it wirelessly. The HP driver was dog slow, and the Gutenprint driver worked much better. One potential issue is...

There are lots of ways of doing what you want. Here are some ideas: 1 Don't reduce the size of your photos when emailing them. Gmail will let you attach very large attachments. 2. Select the photos you want in iPhoto. You can hold down the command key (used to have apple on it) and click on...

I did this with my Core Duo MacBook Pro, and I was sweating the whole time. Replaced the 80 gig drive with a 320 gig 7200 rpm drive and replaced a defective optical drive too. It wasn't easy, but it's doable. I recommend using iFixit's visual guides (www.ifixit.com). I had a couple problems...

The likelyhood of you having a Trojan problem on your Mac is very slim. Is your machine still within the first 90 days of its warranty? If so, then you should call Apple and ask the about the permissions repair errors. Be persistent, since your issue appears to be rare. Good luck! Bot (from...

Sissyfoo: I'm glad it worked!

Is the partition you see in the Windows installer 32 GB in size? Or is it the size of your OS X partition? I must admit I haven't seen this problem. I have created a Boot Camp partition three times now, and IIRC Windows will show both partitions. So if you're not seeing two that seems to...

What program were you trying to burn a DVD in? Finder? Disk Utility? iTunes? (I read a post somewhere recently from someone indicating that iTunes would no longer burn a CD after the latest update.) Bot

I would suggest searching Apple's knowledgebase at www.apple.com/Support/ for "battery not charging" or something like that. I'm actually having a similar problem. Bot

The brute-force method would be to reinstall 10.4. Put in your system disc, restart and hold down C until it starts booting from the disc. Then reinstall. *Caution* One of the install options will erase all information, pictures, music, etc. on your hard drive. Read carefully. Maybe someone...

Firo, You typed "When I've boot camped to Mac OS X, there wasn't any problem with the sound. Do you mean that when you reboot in Vista there's no problem with the sound? But the sound stutters in OS X. Is that right? If so, that indicates it's likely not a hardware problem. Probably a problem...

In other words (after you click "here" above), we need to know what operating system your Mac is running, how much memory, etc. Photoshop Elements 2 (and 3, I believe) _do not_ work on Leopard. Unfortunately. Bot

You really need a Leopard disc. For when stuff goes wrong. Like this. Trust me. It's no fun w/o the install disc. Even on a Mac. Bot Mac fanbot (w/ install disc)
