    Virtual PC Backup when upgrading.

    My friend wants to upgrade his Powerbook to Tiger, I have recommended he do a clean install just to make sure it's all hunky dory and to back up first. Apparently, the only thing he is concerned about are his virtual PC settings. He has quite a bit of Banking/Finance software that requires...

    iTunes 5 - What would you like to see?

    With rumours flying around that the 5G iPods will be released at the same time as an iTunes 5, it occurred to me I wasn't really sure what could be added to iTunes to make it any more useful to me. It organises my music, thats about it! Any of you guys got any things you'd like to see...

    Using Backup to, er Backup.

    I use the .Mac backup software regularly. I have used it in the past to put all of my information on a new Powerbook after my previous one was nicked.

My CD drive went pear shaped at Christmas, so I took it to the Regent Street Apple store, they fixed it pretty fast, but it always seems a little slowers. I checked today, and it only registered 512mb RAM, so I took it apart and both...

    Dumb RAM Question

    Well tis the season to be jolly and all that, so my better half has bought me a whopper 1G of RAM for Christmas. We both have Powerbooks, mine is a 1Ghz 15", my partners is a 1.33Ghz 15". I was hoping I could take out my old 512mb RAM and put it in the other Powerbook, but have since noticed...

    Good value online store?

    Can anyone recommend an online store that I can buy well priced 1Gig RAM for my Powerbook? The Apple store seems a little expensive. I'm based in the UK, but I guess anywhere in the world will do if it's cheap enough!

    Web Developer Contracts

    After doing all the hard work of designing a couple of sites and drumming up a bit of business, I've now come to the stage where creating a Contract for clients to sign will be a must. I have no clue as to where to go for this. Can I write one myself? Or should I go to one of the websites...

Instead of updating the front page manually, what is the simplest way to code the page to automatically update the 'latest news summary' (say...

    G4 Powerbook Screen Brightness

    I've had a lovely Powerbook for 6 months, my other half decided to get one too, which I have been installing today. I am quite shocked at the difference in screen brightness between the 2 laptops. My screen brightness seems to have markedly dulled over the short 6 month period. I have not...

    Home Market Share....

    Now I know this is a subject that has been tackled many times, but I can't help but think all the stats out there about Apples market penetration are a bit skewed. In the last year, I bought myself a Powerbook. My sister loved it, so she bought an iBook, my Dad loved it, so he bought an...

    Office 2004 Test Drive - Care

    I just installed Office 2004 TD. Apart from the fact Word keeps crashing every 2 minutes, the display fonts in Safari have all changed. Now I need to work out how to get the buggers back. More fool me for installing MS in the first place.

    Ejecting a Network

    I'm not sure whether this is a problem or not. But next to the network icon in my finder, there is always an eject icon, if I press it, nothing happens. I'm not connected to a network, when I click on the network Icon, I then see 'servers', then my own computer. Like I say, maybe it's...
