Anyone run into the following? After first logging in there is no problem. At some point in the next few minutes, all the Desktop icons and associated lettering of all files are not clickable any more, nor dragable. It's like they are just pixels on the desktop. Everything is normal for...

In MobileMe System Preferences, in the Sync panel at the top, there is a checkbox entitled "Synchronize with MobileMe". When I try to check the box, it will not stay checked, keeps reverting to unchecked. I have an active and paid up Me account and have signed in to it. This problem may be...

In moving from my old Powerbook to my new one, I have a couple of problems that I think are permissions related. 1. Saving downloads to the desktop does not work. When I try to drag something to the Desktop it won't work and tells me that "The item cannot be moved because Desktop cannot be...

I run Apple Mail in IMAP mode against an Outlook Exchange server. The server has a Public folder with 10s of thousands of individual messages and subfolders, some locked. Two problems occur when Mail synchronizes this folder: 1. I get an error message every time a locked folder is found...

I'm sure this is old hat to the experts, but... I noticed lots of disk access on my TI powerbook. Running the Activity Monitor app, I saw that 50-75% of the CPU cycles were going to a process called mdimport. Google it and you find that this is a mac-only process - the MD stands for MetaData...

I don't do image processing or graphics creation, mainly office activities. Currently have 1GB in an 800MHz Ti Powerbook. I'm considering an upgrade in the next few months. Has anyone notice much performance improvement (any way you care to define it) by going beyond 1 GB? If so, how does...

:mad: I have a 800MHz Titanium. Installing Tiger, it starts verifying my internal drive and then just thrashes, making no progress. Checked the disk using Disk Utility that came on the Panther install disks - it found no problem. Tried to start up with 3.0.2 Disk Warrior - it too gets...

Anyone had experience with the app Boswell by Copernican Technologies? Seems to be a very powerful indexing/finding/versioning tool for text. Downside is that to take advantage of that power, everything (mail, word files, powerpoint presentations, spreadsheets etc.) has to be converted to text...

I upgraded to the recent version of Default Folder and did not immediately restart as suggested. DF is one of my start up applications and will not complete its startup - gives me the spinning beach ball and keeps me from killing it - Option/Apple does not work and I can't even get into Finder...

I tried Hogbay notebook one time and decided not to use it. So, I dragged it and its preferences to the trash and emptied. Searched for any other files with the word Hog or Bay or Hogbay, found nothing. Finally looked in my account's services folder with no luck. I can't get HogBay to vanish...

Hello all, I'm outfitting an in-home office almost from scratch for a friend. Would like to do as much wirelessly as possible - ethernet/USB wired OK as fallback. Price is secondary to integratability and functionality. - Have a white i-book - two years old with airport card. - Have...

RTFD files are actually folders which contain text and related images, movies, or sound. They are supposed to appear in the Finder as a single entity with an icon. However, I've somehow lost the ability to deal with RTFD files as single files,; instead, they appear as a folder. Getting Info on...

My workplace is finally installing a wireless net. They will be using 128 bit encryption. A number of portable PCs here will have to replace their 802.11 cards because they only support 40 bit encryption. Anyone know the number of bits sukpported by the Airport card?

I want to work with Mail offline by syinchronizing with the server. My server is MS Exchange, using IMAP as the protocol. Exchange has a large number of Public Folders, which make my sychronizing glacially slow. I want to be able to choose which folders to sych with, and which to ignore (the...

Exchange has a Public Folder area, with lots of folders and sub-folders, which shows up along with all my personal folders in the Drawer. When I synchronize, I get lots of server error messages (access denied to the Public folders). This is very annoying since I'm not interested in anything in...

I have QT Pro that I shelled out $30 for recently and the latest version of iTunes. I've seen some discussion here about converting songs to the new (AAC) format by selecting an AIFF song within iTunes and pulling down the Advanced menu and selecting "convert to AAC" or somesuch item. All I see...

Hi folks, I have a G3 Wallstreet with .5GB memory and an upgrade from original 300MHz CPU to 466. Running X 10.1.3. I having trouble waking from sleep - the screen seems to come on at about 5% of normal brightness, not enough to see what you're doing. Happens both on battery and on wall...

Running OSX 10.1.3 on a G3 Wallstreet Powerbook with 1/2 gigabyte memory. For some time now, before 10.1 was released, I have had two parallel vertical lines by my standard arrow cursor. They are about 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch apart and are white when over a dark background and black over a...

My standard pointer now has a couple of white lines about twice the length of the pointer floating off to the right of the pointer about 1/4 and 1/2 inch away. I've reinstalled twice (but not from a newly formatted drive) but it's still there. Is the pointer editable in X? Is there an icon...

Just trying out X on one of my partitions. Generally a breeze so far, and I could almost live here except for a couple of things. The worst is that I had a network printer visible at first (its an HP 8100) using AppleTalk, but had to identify it as generic. So I went to HP's web site and got...
