    Keyboard gone crazy thanks to my cat

    My Apple Bluetooth keyboard did the same thing last week (minus the pussy), after I changed the batteries. No matter what I did it still acted strange. In the end I got a little frustrated and gave it a whack. After that it worked perfectly. It was probably a stuck key I guess.

    Downloaded files won't open

    Hi Zorkon, welcome to the Mac! Is it a brand new Mac running Tiger? What is the file extension of the files you need to open? It may be that you need to download a bit of freeware called Stuffit Expander, which used to come with new Macs but doesn't anymore. You can get it from stuffit.com...

    Having Problems with iPod Video

    How bizarre, the only thing I can suggest is to re-install iTunes from the website. Also download the iPod Video software from the website. I'm sure it should work the same on Panther.

    Macromedia Studio MX 2004 and "Tiger"

    Hi David, I've been using MX 2004 (And Studio 8) for a while on Tiger now, and have found no problems with it. As for the BBEdit, maybe you can change it's name to BBEdit2 or temporarily move it out of your applications folder while you install Studio MX04? Just to be on the safe side. Hope...

    Having Problems with iPod Video

    With regards to the syncing of your contacts and calendars, have you ticked the boxes in the iPod prefs when it is connected in iTunes? This caught me out when I got my Vid iPod for Christmas.

    iCal and .Mac

    No problems. I agree, the iCal integration is the biggest thing lacking in .Mac for me. It would be great if my calendars and To-Dos were all available along with everything else on the start page, (Mail and Address Book, Movies etc). Plus it would be great to be able to edit calendars online...

    iCal and .Mac

    I may be wrong, but I think you can only view your calendars on another computer if you 'Publish' them using iCal. I publish one of my Calendars (select the cal. and then the 'publish' option). Once the Calendar is uploaded to your .Mac webspace, it will then give you the URL to access it from...

    Mac OS X 10.4.3 - Update good/bad?

    Mine went perfectly, as it always has done. I don't have any add-ons or UI changing software though, which seems to be the cause of most peoples problems. My hard disk was working away happily when I first re-started, doing the whole indexing thing again I guess, took about 10 minutes.

    Oh Caffeine, How I need Thee

    MMmmmm, coffee. I gave up this time last year. Got rotten headaches for about 8 days, then it cleared up. Didn't feel any better in the long run. So I started again. My workmates were pleased when I started again, as I was 'a bloody miserable bastard' when I kicked the habit.

    Inserting HTML in Mail

    I've been thinking of using Mail 2 to send my email newsletters out too, but so far have avoided it because of the bizarre reason of it seeming to easy! Has anyone had any problems with the emails rendering badly in other email clients on all OS's? If all seems to be fine, I may well give it a go.

    iTunes 5

    I've just downloaded the Windows version at work, and one thing I've noticed is that it's alot more 'Mac like' than the previous version. With the new interface and an Aqua scroll bar down the side rather than the standard Windows one. It's probably a very good way of getting Windows users more...

    Yup, but a fair bit of the previous posts were about Messenger services.
