Since Lion won't run Quicken, I tested out some alternatives. The results are here: Mac Quicken Replacements

I have had an iMac G5 in my kitchen for years. Recently, and suddenly, it froze up. It no longer fully reboots. After several dozen attempts, it seems to randomly display one of the following, with about equal regularity: monitor never turns on Grey "Apple logo and spinner" screen comes...

My parents have a baffling Mail.app problem. They run with separate mail accounts, under the same Mac login. One of these works fine, the other used to, but suddenly started behaving strangely. You can see the account receiving mail (its counter increases), but when you click on it, no messages...

The hard-drive of the machine holding my (large) iPhoto Library recently freaked out and had to be reformatted. Fortunately, I use Duover to backup that machine, so I have all the data backed up. I have repaired the disk and am now trying to restore the data from my Backup. Since Duover just...

Friend of mine had the same problem. Most of the log entries were widgets running out of memory: [350] file:///Library/Widgets/Weather.wdgt/Weather.html:Error - Out of memory 2006-10-24 10:10:35.592 DashboardClient[350] (com.apple.widget.weather) undefined: Error - Out of memory (line: 0)...

This video card comes with two DVI outputs. Connecting the KVM to the second instead of the first seems to solve the problem. Not sure what's special about the first one.

I just bought a MacPro and am setting it up with a digital KVM and am having some issues with an occassionally blank screen on reboot or switching the view from one machine to the other. The setup: MacPro w/ NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT IOgear 4-port DVI KVMP (GCS1764) Dell 1600x1600 DVI monitor...

You might check out this Win32 shareware called Outlook2Mac. I've not used it, but it seems pretty useful. I wish it would have been around when I migrated some stuff (through Win32 Mozilla).

I have a similar problem, but the original poster's solution does not work for me. I've found that a good rule for me is if the sender is not in my address book and the content is HTML containing an image. Generally, people whose mail I actually want to read who are not sophisticated enough to...

I had trouble getting stuff in /Library/StartupItems working. I would copy the files other people have posted here, but it never seemed to work. The trick, I found, was in the line-feed characters. I created my scripts using BBEdit, saved using Macintosh line feeds. It appears (I think...

In OS X, is there any way to turn off the built in monitor of an iMac DV? I only want to see the image on the external monitor.

I have used DropScript to create a couple of applications that can handle these locked files. One clears the locks and the other destroys them outright. To use them, you drag the file (or a folder holding the files) onto the app. You can get the apps <a...

No, sorry. I knew the Nuke folder would be confusing. I just find it usefull to have a folder to hold these locked files outside of the trash. I'm odd. Just ignore the Nuke thing.

The script listed above didn't work for me and I figured out why: I have several disk partitions (an extra one called "Scratch". You need to add commands to handle the trash folders on those partitions as well. I also added a folder called Nuke into which I can throw troublesome files. My...
