Hi All, I have a legitimate version of iLife 06 and want to back it up. This is for real because my iLife 05 disk went missing and I was without it when I needed it. I've tried to make a backup but it seems it won't let me if I use an ISO creator. Am I doing something wrong or is it just not...

Hi All, My new powerbook G4 is giving me tiny occasional electrical zaps on my hands depending on where I touch the powerbook (I'm on a 240 volt connection in Australia). This only occurs when it is plugged in to the main power supply. If I touch the very edge it feels like a pin prick or a...

Hi All, I recently installed Acrobat onto my Mac. Now whenever I launch anything from MS Office, there is also 2 new icons in an acrobat toolbar that opens every time. Even after deselecting it or closing this toolbar it reappears again the next time I launch one of the Office apps. How can I...

Hi, On Windows I used to run a regedit program to clean up the "litter" left behind by trial programs etc. It would completely remove every file associated with that program - even hidden stuff. Is there a way to do this on Mac OS X? Thanks...Scott

Hi All, In the screensaver prefs, I added a new folder to test the sliding screensaver. The folder I selected was called thumbs out of iphoto so it of course looks shocking at 1024x768. So how do I permanently remove the folder from the screensavers panel. It looks like I'm stuck with it in...

Hi All, I stupidly installed NU on my new G4 powerbook. I really think the software is junk on the Mac so tried to uninstall via the disk. It didn't work so I started doing it manually. Problem is I can't get rid of the icons it dropped in my system prefs - autoprotect, filesaver and...

Hi All, I recently bought a G4 12.1 inch powerbook (1.33 Ghz) and need to add more memory to it. I''ll probably add 512 MB. Any suggestions for a particular brand that doesn't cost the earth? Thanks...Scott

Hi All, This is probably blatantly obvious but I just can't find a solution. I've just migrated from Windows over to Panther. I want all my Mac windows to open in list view by default, not icon or column view. Why is this so impossible to do? I've tried setting it on a Finder window via "Show...
