I go to shut down my machine through the apple menu, and it hasn't been shutting down all the way. The icons on my desktop and my menu bar goes away like its getting ready to shut down, but the dock remains. It looks like something is holding up the shutting down process. I tried to shut...

I rarely use preview for anything but this time I double clicked a file from a CD that just happened to be a 500mb tif. Preview began launching, but now it is not responding, like its basically frozen. I right clicked the icon in the dock to force quit, nothing. I opened the Force Quit...

A client of ours left their Powerbook G4 here after deciding they did not want to fix the bad hard drive, and after holding it here for some time, they apparently want us to now get rid of it. It's been sitting here for sometime since then, and I'm the only one around who cares to adopt it...

Instead of having to go to Go»Connect To Server everyday, I was wondering if there is a setting somewhere that lets me choose to connect automatically when I startup? OS 10.5.7 2x2.8 Quad Core Intel Xeon

Anyone have any tips for me to be able to convert my PP2008 presentation into a movie file of some kind that I can ultimately play through internet download or in a browser? I've tried "Save as Movie" through PP but certain animation effects and even my background music doesn't come with it in...

OS 10.5.6 2x2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon I've noticed it takes a little longer to start apps, click on menu items, and normal actions like navigating through programs sometimes stalls for a short period of time - ex: the most recent problem was Photoshop taking about 5-7 seconds to respond when...

For some reason - and this has been happening for awhile now - whenever I look at any clock randomly during the day, it always says 11:11. AM or PM... it doesn't matter. (yes its plugged in :confused: ) I finally started to acknowledge the frequency of this occurrence. What does this mean...

From time to time when I recieve files from clients, my mac calls them a kind of file called a Unix Executable File. When I look at the kind of file in Finder or "Get Info", it says its a Unix Executable file. Most of the time I know exactly what kind of file it is, a font file, psd, ai, even a...

Whenever I open a file downloaded from the internet or even an attachment from entourage, leopard gives me this notice: "(filename) may be an application. It was downloaded from the internet and will be opened by (program). Are you sure you want to open it?" It does this so often that it is...
