    iTunes playlist trick needed

    Okay, I`m sure I`m dating myself here, but it`s safer than dating anyone else. I have this thing I want to do with a playlist on my iPhone and in iTunes on my desktop so that it sounds like the only radio station I grew up listening to in the 60`s. I have all the airchecks I need from CKLW...

    Spiffy accidental discovery

    So I was goofing around as is my wont, looking through terabytes of videos for something to watch while not paying attention, and suddenly I somehow hit the spacebar with a video file selected, and lo, a window popped up and it began to play! I had no idea I could do that, and I still don't know...

    Mysterious disk writes

    I recently added another 2tb Western Digital MyBook external USB drive to my PowerMac MDD, the sixth such external drive on my system, and I'm seeing some strange behavior from it that I have not observed at all with the other drives. It's little white light flashes a lot, on and off, when...

    iPhone 3G movies problem

    So I'm trying to put an MP4 movie on my iPhone 3G that was on there before, but I deleted it, or so I thought. It will not go onto the phone, at all, and when I look at the phone in iTunes and go to movies it's there, unchecked in the grayed out box with other movies I removed from the phone...

    Curious folder thing

    I've noticed a folder in Finder that is unusual in that it has no little arrow beside it, and the contents are listed below it. You cannot close the folder, because there's no little arrow to open or close it when viewing the folders on the disk as a list. I can't understand why this folder is...

    Yahoo Messenger acting suspiciously

    Over the last few months I've noted that Yahoo Messenger takes a very long time to connect and log in, sometimes several minutes. This morning my Mac Mini started acting very sluggish, and bringing up Activity Monitor I saw that Yahoo Messenger was eating 98% of the CPU, even though I was doing...

    Superspam filter resistant

    Just now I got spam from Facebook Rewards that no matter how I tried to add it to my filters they would not deal with it at all. I have no idea how this did this, but they seem to have come up with superspam that you cannot filter out no matter what you do. Not a good thing at all. Here's the...

    Freeware MP4 joiner?

    Is there such a thing as a freeware MP4 joiner that will run under Tiger? I've tried AddMovie, but video quality suffers greatly in the finished movie.

    mail.app question

    How does one get mail.app to stop playing a sound when the rules tell it to put something that comes in into the junk folder? I don't want to be alerted when junk arrives, but cannot figure out how to turn off the sound for that. Marking it read didn't work, nor did deleting it. Stumped....

    Mac Mini keeps crashing... Heat?

    My Mac Mini keeps crashing, and it's crashed three times today, and it felt hot each time it's crashed, so I disconnected it and put it in the freezer for a while to cool it off, because if I tried to restart it after it crashed it would just crash again, unless I cooled it in the freezer first...

    USB external disks spin-up

    I have 5 external USB disks on my little Mac Mini, and I've noted that if I don't access them for a time they spin down, and the next time I access them I have to wait for them to spin back up again. I don't care for that, and would rather they stayed spun up. Is there some system setting or...

    Where are cookies kept on a Mac?

    I have a Mac Mini, running 10.4 Tiger, and I have no idea where my cookies are. I would like to be able to go through them and weed out those I don't want. Anyone?

    A peculiar little problem...

    So I've had this happen a couple times now, when I'm using the Divx web player in Safari and I quit mail the screen goes completely black, and I can't do anything about it unless I unplug my Mac and reboot. This is really weird. I find I can switch between apps but I can't see them on the...

    DivX nightmare!

    How do you get DivX web player off your Mac? I just installed the latest version for DivX Labs and I can't even find it in Applications, it doesn't show up at all and I want it gone! I desperately need to go back to an earlier version so it will work with my favorite site, and I can't get at...
