I have been trying to learn more about Preview and using the online tutorials found scattered about (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBWWCYx8HYE ). My Preview does not seem to work like the tutorial examples. When I have a JPEG or PNG open and try to use the 'smart lasso' tool, it will outline...

I am playing with my Dock icons and downloaded some nice 3D's. When I tried to change the Finder icon, (used copy paste of the new icon to the Finder in system/library/core services/finder) it worked for the icon (in the folder) but will not change in the dock. I have relaunched the Finder...

I am brand new to Terminal and trying to learn it. I have read OS manual and learning slowly but have 2 questions: 1) When I open my Terminal app, instead of stating my computer name, it has a number: __-___-___-___:, then ~user$. Why is there a number instead of a name? 2) When do you...

I know this is not an Apple software but I am curious if anyone has any experience with the Print Shop 2 on Snow Leopard. I bought and installed the latest, supposedly SL compatible version because my old v1 would not work on SL. I like PS alot and installed the graphics also since I had room...

I am relearning much from not keeping up with the latest for years and have a question. I know my new iMac will burn DVD/CD's. What is the advantage or necessity to have a software program like Toast, if I can do it already with installed software? I would not be mass producing. Thank you...

I have a new iMac and have placed an old external HD (USB)on for backup of docs/files only (No operating system on the disk). Recently I was told that I could just drag the DW app only and drop it onto my x HD and use it on my iMac HD to rebuild and it would work. I tried to do this and run...

I just bought a new iMac and am unable to use the program iDress any longer with Snow Leopard to make address labels. I guess they are no longer in business because I am unable to contact them. I am interested in address labels and know that I can do this thru AddressBook but with that program...

I recently purchased a 20" iMac, 2.66ghz, Intel Core Duo. I replaced a 1st generation, G4, 400, AGP tower. I had external speakers(with sub wof) that I plugged into the new iMac and they work fine with audio, but can't seem to get the start up chime to come thru the speakers like it did with...
