    iPhoto won't import

    Hi, So, I've got back from holiday, and I want to import my photos into iPhoto, but the darn thing won't do it. I've tried my iPod Photo, EOS350D, Ixus 500, and my compact flash card reader, but none seem to work. When I plug a camera in iPhoto will launch (or grab focus), but won't go...

    Rescuing data from a physicall damaged drive

    Hi, I recently caused my iMac G5 to fall over (long story - my own stupid fault) which seems to have physically damaged the drive. I was wondering if anyone had any experience of using Data Rescue X (or any other program) for rescuing data from the drive. I've managed to find copies of...

    iPod photo - battery running down in dock

    Hi, I thought that leaving my new iPod photo in the dock over night would recharge the battery - instead, it actually seems to drain the battery. I've left it like this to charge twice, and it's drained the battery each time - is this normal? It is connected, using firewire, to an iMac...

    4th gen iPod Cases

    Are there any yet? Or are there any nice 3rd gen ones that aren't designed specifically to incorporate the buttons on the 3rd gen? The only feature that it must offer is screen protection.

    Airport Cards (non-extreme)

    Does Apple no longer do these? I'm hopefully getting a PowerMac soon, and I was planning that when I did have one I'd pop an Airport card in my iBook so I could take it round the house with me for web-browsing and so on from the comfort of my sofa or bed. However, I was just looking...

    Why won't Apple let me buy a Mac without a Keyboard???

    I want to buy a G5. I already own a mouse and keyboard (that I use with my iBook). Why won't Apple let me buy a PowerMac from the store without a keyboard and mouse? (feel free to move this if it's in the wrong folder)

    Spoof CD Writer?

    Hi folks, Is there any software available that allows you to set up a spoof CD writer under OSX? I don't have a CD writer on my iBook, but I do have one on my PC. So what I'd like to be able to do is set up a spoof CD drive in OSX so I can go into iTunes or iPhoto and select the burn to...

    Attachments

    How come I can never see them? People are always saying they've attached images but I can never see them, or any sign of where they might be. Any ideas? (and incase you were going to ask - I am logged in when trying to view them)

    Safari churning my hard drive like hell

    A couple of days ago Safari started to churn away at my hard drive every time I loaded a new page or opened a new tab. It's starting to drive me crazy, it takes ages for any page to load with the drive being chugging away like crazy. I have about 1GB free on the drive, and have tried...

    Xcode - bundling Java resources

    Hi, I have some Java code for a Swing application that I'm trying to set-up as an Xcode project. I'm just about there now; however, the program loads in resources from .properties files, and I cannot for the life of me get Xcode to bundle these up in the jar file it produces. When you...

    NFS Mounts + Symbolic Links

    Hi, I've got some shared directories from my Linux box to automount in OSX so that they come up in the Networks->Servers folder (I used an NFS tool for OSX the name of which I cannot remember). Anyway, it all works fine, except that I cannot follow symbolic links on the mounted shares. Is...

    Panther mail issue

    Hi, I like to have my emails sorted so that the most recent is at the bottom of the list. In previous versions of OSX this worked fine, and when I switched between mail folders the lists of mail would stay in the right place (ie, towards the bottom), however, with Panther, they keep resetting...

    G4 Prices

    Point me in the right direction if this has been covered already, however: What the heck is up with the G4 prices. The top end G4 costs more than the top end G5. Surely that's a bit of a backwards pricing policy - why would anyone go for a G4 if they cost more. Or am I missing...
