Hey everyone, As much as I love iTunes, I'm having a really, really annoying problem. Whenever I quit iTunes, it opens up again automatically! It even cancels shut down because it won't stop opening. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can stop it? Thanks...

Hey everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this post, but I'm wondering if anyone can offer me some advice on shipping all the hardware I'm preparing to get rid of. Examples: - Desktops - Monitor - RAM - Hard Drives - Processors - Keyboards Can I just go to a UPS or...

Yeah, I've thought about transforming it into a Linux box. Either that or experimenting with OS 7.6. Eventually I'm going to have to get rid of it, I imagine. There won't be much space for it in my 1 bedroom apartment.

Hey everyone, Since my beige G3 bit the dust, I need to recover the data on the two drives (the built-in and the one internally attached to a Tempo Trio). As far as I know, they are both functional. I have a UMAX C600 and my PowerBook to work with. What should I do? Buy enclosures and...

Hey everyone, Recently, my beloved beige G3/G4 Frankenmac bit the dust. Here are the specs: NewerTech ZIF G4 433 MHz 416 MB RAM Sonnet Tech Tempo Trio (FW, USB, ATA) ATA 25 GB HD ATI Radeon 32 MB CD Burner (replaced the internal CD-ROM) It's been a faithful friend, but it's time...

Minor problem that causes great annoyance: my Mail.app sounds no longer play (send/receive mail, etc.). It wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't for the fact that now I have to check Mail all the time instead of just listening for the ping (especially frustrating when you're awaiting the...

Hey everyone, My fiancée's computer has started doing something funky. Several weeks ago, we had to send in her iBook G4 to have the hard drive and VRAM replaced. Since it returned, it's started randomly shutting down after sitting on a charger (either hers or mine). The computer runs fine...

Hey Everyone, I can't shell out the $100 for .mac this year, but I want to make sure I have my bases covered before I cancel. As I understand it, everything will disappear: my files on my iDisk, my mail account, my web site, etc. This actually isn't too big of a deal to me. One of the...

Hey thanks! MT was the culprit. I never know how to integrate iCal into my life. It always seems like such a hassle to add events to it and such. I usually just end up writing things in my planner. Know any good articles about iCal?

Hey, Is there any way to stop iCal from opening with Mail? It's really bothersome since I hardly ever use iCal. Thanks, Achates

My computer is giving me the old "question mark folder" at startup for about 15 seconds before OS X kicks in. What's causing this and how can I stop it? Thanks, Achates PB G4 Alu 15" 768 MB/1.5 GHz/10.4.x

Friends, Does anyone know how I can clean some stubborn black marks on the aluminum near the edges of my screen (the part that comes down onto the speakers when the book is closed)? Thanks, Achates

Hey folks, The MS Entourage on my family's grape iMac (10.2.8) is having problems. Whenever it launches, 33 identical mail windows open. It functions, but it slows the entire computer down dramatically. I've tried to update Entourage to no avail. I've tried deleting the prefs. I've...

Thanks for the help.. It turns out I've run into a random bug in the Operating System... Check this out: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2511019 Peace, Achates

Hi everyone, I need help quick. I came back from being out and there was a message that said I had zero space left on my internal PowerBook hard drive... I'm genuinely puzzled by this because I had at least 12 gigs left on it (it's an 80 gig drive). What's more confusing is that after...

Hi, Ever since updating to 10.4.6 (and possibly earlier, I can't remember), I have been unable to connect to IRC servers with any client. Can you offer any solutions? I do not have any firewalls running.

Hey everyone, The S.M.A.R.T. status of my internal PowerBook drive says Failing these days. Looks like I need to replace the drive (after backup, of course!). I was looking at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822146047 I think I'll take it to a Mac...

Hi, I think my Beige G3 desktop might be going the way of the dodo... When I boot up, I hear the usual chime, but a white screen with a single underscore appears. When force-rebooting, I either hear breaking glass or nothing at all. The power LED goes out, and the machine just sits there...

Most of the sites I find for learning to program are either PC specific or start you off with Java. C++ seems like a valuable language, but I hear that C is "easier." Any ideas? Achates

Okay, I'm sure this question has been asked a million times. I'm a university student, and I really want to get into programming on OS X. I've attempted to dabble in programming for years, but I've just felt misguided. Where do I start if my objective is to learn how to program in OS X...
