I've noticed an iPod problem. So I decided to a do a clean install and re-install all my applications (Basically just iLife '05, Office 2004, and iPod software). However, when I try and install my iPod software disc, I have problems. When it checks to see if it can be installed, it can't; the...

I recently decided (this struck me randomly) that if/when I install Tiger, I would do a clean install. I like the idea of a clean slate. Except, I'm not exactly sure which files I need to back up. I know to back up my music, and my documents folder, but is there anything else to that? I...

I deleted that, but it didn't work. :-( Should I "kill" anything else?

Everytime I try to open Garageband, it unexpectedly quits during the initiation phase. Even after I close the error window, the initializing bar remains visible and the GB icon in the dock seems to look as though it were still open. The problem began after I had downloaded the Reason 3.0 demo...

My computer froze up on me, and so I restarted it. Since iTunes was not responding, I couldn't disconnect the iPod. Now that my computer is back up and running, my iPod isn't. It's still plugged into the dock, with the "Do Not Disconnect" message. However, both my iPod and computer(iMac running...

I recently purchased Office 2004 student teacher edition for my mac. Everything works great except for Entourage. Every few days it loses all of it's information. That includes, To-Do-List items, calendar events, contacts, notes, etc. I haven't set up an e-mail account, but I'm guessing the...

I can buy music now just fine, but there is one song that had a purchasing error. I was trying to buy Silver and Cold by A.F.I. along with Red Blooded Woman by Kylie Minogue in the shopping-cart purchasing mode. Red Blooded Woman downloaded and plays fine, but the A.F.I. song had an error...

I can't drag anything on my computer. Well I CAN move files on my desktop, but I have no need for that. I can't drag images off the web into AppleWorks or Graphic Converter. I can't drag loops from the loop browser to my song on GarageBand (driving me crazy!). I can't copy e-mails or...

[Could not purchase "Unknown". An error has occured (500). Please try again later.] Should I try again later, assuming this is not just my problem? Or could there be something wrong with my computer/iTunes?

After my 30-day Adobe Photoshop Elements trial, I removed it from my system. In the trash, I got rid of mostly everything. Except for a few folders. When I try to delete them, a message in the trash progress says that the item is locked. How can I fix it and delete it?

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/clippersystemapps.html If were to download this, does anyone know how to use it? I'm afraid to try, but I had a feeling someone might have done it already. Will I be able to switch between icon sets? Thanks.

Awesome. So a midi-control makes no sound, and a synthesizer has all the sounds built in allowing it to produce sound. With Garage Band or other software, I'd plug the MIDI controller in to my Mac. Would I then be able to select an instrument from the software (it has all the instruments...

On the Garage Band Accessories page at apple.com, it shows two keyboards. I'm looking at the $199 one. Its labeled as a MIDI keyboard controller, and I'm wondering if that is different than a synthesizer? I was looking at keyboards where you choose from different instruments/sounds out of a...

After sucessfully installing Panther, I've come to love it. But, there are two things I've noticed that aren't what they should be. 1) Whenever I import a CD, the songs are all screwed up. They just don't play; Either there is no sound at all or it stutters and stops. It worked fine...

I've redeemed an iTunes Gift Certificate, and have bought a few songs. I have around $15.00. Will thats still be there in Panther, or should I hurry up and use it now?

So just to be sure I have: (Minor details left out) 1. Pop the disk in, double click on icon, etc. 2. When options, appear choose "Archive and Install" 3. Let Panther Install (Restart afterwards?) 4. Then move all my old files, music and folders from the old system folder into Panther. 5...

If I did Archive and Install it, it would just move all my computer files into a system folder. So I could then just move all of the things I want into from my old OS X into Panther? Sounds just as simple as upgrading.

Looking through the installation manual (page 4), It shows three options for users already on OS X. The first option (Upgrade) seems the easiest and simplest. As it keeps all of my files and music, it seems like the way to go. So if I choose that one, all my old stuff will be there plus...

What's the difference between a clean install and the archive method?
