I am unable to access the new Apple Support Communities with my current (valid) Apple ID and password. It works just fine in iTunes and in the Apple ID account management area. When I sign into the new communities I am redirected to a page that says "my Apple ID can't be created due to...

Something I've done in the past few days has caused Safari to not change color for visited links "only" on Google search pages, which is where it's most needed. This is still working fine on FireFox. I tried creating another user account and it works fine with that...just not with my primary...

Before you ask...NOT the custom dictionary...it doesn't contain the words I'm having trouble with. How can I remove "incorrect" words from the basic Mac Dictionary? E.g. when I type the word "internet" anywhere in an application, browser, Google, etc. it auto-corrects to "Internet"...

I know there are still problems in networking with Leopard, but this is basic networking and still doesn't work. I'm an experienced computer user, own a computing business, and "thought" I was well-versed in networking (obviously not <g>). I have an iMac and a MBP on my home office...

I can't believe that after all the years of complaints that iCal won't display Address Book anniversaries (as it does for birthdays) Apple still didn't fix this in Leopard :-( If they want folks to use iCal and not something like Google Calendar, why not give iCal the features that users want...

First of all...no new software or hardware and everything worked fine until today. Now, my iMac sees my MacBook Pro and one Windows machine on my peer network (AirPort Extreme 802.11n) but it can only mount and browse the Windows Machine. When I try to browse the MacBook Pro I get a dialog...

In Keychain Access (upper left) I have two instances of "login". One is "login" and at the top of the Keychain list, the other is "Login" (note leading capital L) and further down in the list. When highlighted, both display the exact same entries on the right. From where is the other...

I have an iMac and new MacBook both registered with .Mac. In doing a sync on the MacBook it won't sync the keychains I've put on .Mac from the iMac. It keeps asking me for the password to my iMac, which I give it, but insists it's the wrong password. Details drop-down say "kcSync". I've...

I just setup a new MacBook and the minute I opened Mail for the first time it auto-configured itself for my .Mac email account. I tried deleting the account, but it keeps coming back, even though only two things I'm using .Mac iSync for are Address Book and Bookmarks (Mail Accounts and Mail...

What is the best way to keep a MacBook continually in sync with an iMac Desktop? I already have SuperDuper and I know I could always restore to the MacBook...but I'm looking for something that, when they're both running 24/7 will keep them mirrored. Thanks. LarryMcJ

While the new Airport Extreme Base Station is truly a wonderful product...it carries on the totally useless Port Mapping configuration mess of Airport Utility. Every single "normal" router in the world has a standardized Port Mapping configuration scheme and it simply works. Yet the worlds...

Though my Mac Address Book syncs just fine with Exchange server, it has one problem....mismatching fields in the email addresses. Whatever I put in the "WORK" field in Address Book shows up in "Email 2" in Exchange/Outlook. Whatever I put in the "HOME" field in Address Book shows up in "Email"...

Every time Mail does a Send/Receive, the Dock notification icon displays "4" messages, but there are no new messages. If there are any new mail messages, the count is appended (if there is one new message, the icon displays "5" messages). Left-clicking the dock icon makes the red "4" disappear...

One of the few good things about Windows is application windows always open in the same place every time. Why can't we have this with Apple Mail...it occurs with many other inherent Apple applications. When I open a new message window in Apple Mail I don't want it to be in a different...

A Mac (OS X), two Windows XP machines and two Windows Vista machines on a home peer network. All four of the Windows machines can browse the Mac just fine, but the Mac can only browse the XP machines. It sees the Vista machines, but when it goes there, no files are displaying...like an empty...

Network problem I've Googled this to death and all I find are other frustrated folks with the same problem...never an answer that works. I have Mac (OS X 10.4) on a home network with five other Windows PCs. I can browse four of the five computers just from from the Mac, but one I can...

Does anyone know how to overcome the following issue in Mac Mail: when you repy to any message (with quoted text enabled) the new mail window displays with the cursor prepositioned on the line directly above the quoted text. Most mail clients preposition the cursor with one blank line between...

I can't get iCal to display anniveraries in my Address Book, though birthdays display just fine. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! LarryMcJ

While I love my new Mac (after Windows since version 2.0) I can't believe there isn't a way to have windows retain their size and position after I change them? Are there any tips for retaining window size & position? Thanks! LarryMcJ

Using OS X 10.4.8 and trying to find a way to make window postions sticky in Entourage. A new message window, or reply to a message window always defaults to the upper left corner. On a 24" iMac that's a long ways from my comfortable viewing point. Thanks for any help. LarryMcJ
