    Mail files overwrite others sans warning

    It appears to be an issue of keeping mails in a finder folder rather than a folder in the mail application itself. If I create folders in Mail, I'm fine, but I don't really want to do that (mostly just because of habit and prior filing methods) but it's when I take them out of Mail and store...

System profiler says the battery is not connected, and the indicator lights on the back show it dead. I've...

    Hi. I've got an external USB 250-gig hard drive that is partitioned into two sections. One section I use for short-term storage and am frequently putting on and taking off data from it. The other is for longer-term storage and I only add to it once in a while. Recently I began to think that I...
