I hope I am in the right place and sorry for the long post but we are under the guns here. To make a long story short, a friend of mine has his own company and this company creates mug designs, calendar designs, keytags, etc. Graphic design on a simple, small scale. Now, here's the...

I just got in iLife5 and created a home movie using iDVD/iMovie. I was really impressed with the ease and professional output but when I played the dvd in my home dvd player, the video skips and "crumbles" a lot! It's hard to explain...for those with satellite tv, it looks like the picture...

I heard that iPod ONLY plays music downloaded from iTunes. Is this true? I mean, I just recently started getting music legally (yes, I know). I have purchased about 20 songs maybe but have 4,000 in my collection. I started downloading MP3's back in the mid-late 90s before we knew it was...

It's been a while since I've been on. Anyway, here is what I am trying to do. I have a FreeBSD server running Samba which has all of my music shared. On XP and iTunes, everything is fine and the network is very fast. But using the Mac (10.4), sometimes, I will get the spinning circle for...

A friend of mine bought the 5-user family pack of Tiger for his computer and mine. We both decided to do a clean format and install. Well, all is good but we can no longer find iPhoto. I looked on the disc but couldn't find it. Is it not included with Tiger? Thanks cbmeeks

I have a FreeBSD server running Samba and some mapped drives. On my windows machine, I can transfer a 100 MEG file in no time. On my Tiger, it takes 2 MINUTES to transfer SEVEN (7) Megs!! What's the deal? The machine is a dual 1Ghz, 1Gig ram G4. I use my server for all data...

For grins, I thought I would play some games on my Mac. I plugged in my USB WingMan RumblePad but nothing happened. I went to the About the Mac and it saw the joypad. But, I can't find any joystick control panel like in Windows. Surely I don't have to purchase software to configure my...

I have about 4000 mp3 files in my collection. Last night, I decided to add all 4000 of them to the library of iTunes and create playlists. Well, iTunes keeps trying to "determine volume" or something to ALL 4000 SONGS!! It is locking the computer up because it would literally take weeks to do...

My cousin wrote some music a few years ago and converted them to mp3 for me. Well, I have about ten of them and the are all: "01.mp3" "02.mp3" etc. I'm not worried about the song names...that is easily changed. What I would like to do is change the author, album, etc so that iTunes...

Our Mac is 10.3.8 Everyone has their own account and mine is the only one that is Admin. When we punish the girls, on the PC I could disable their account without deleting and they couldn't log in. How can I do this on the Mac? I have changed the password but it says they can change...

I am HOPING that this is a 10.1 issue (I am running 10.1.5). But a LOT of times, on my DSL connection, I can go to a website like Google and it will sit there and wait and wait and wait. Then, it will timeout. THen, I try again and it will work! It will work for about 20 pages and then...

I would like to keep the setting we have just done on the 10.1.5 setup. I have 10.2 coming in the mail (only paid $14 for it...lol) Do I have to nuke it all or can I install over the top? Thanks! cb

As I had mentioned on my previous threads I have a mac loaner for about a year. Would like my wife to fall in love with it to help justify us buying our own. :-D Anyway, here is what my wife uses on the PC: 1) Yahoo Messenger (got it for Mac) 2) Upload baby pics to website (will find...

I am using a loaner machine that has been upgraded to the maximum free version of 10.1.5. Just about everything I see on the net requires 10.2 or later. Any good word processors, spreadsheets, etc for us 10.1.5 users who can't afford an upgrade? Thanks! cb

Ok, I have been a long fan of the Mac. But, I am a computer programmer for an insurance company which forces me to use XP. Anyway, a friend of mine is letting me borrow a spare Mac he has. It's a dual 1Ghz, OSX 10.1.5, 1G ram. I get to keep it for a YEAR!! I am going to try to create...
