    iPhone, SMS, & sending photos

    i'm one of those guys who refuses to pay extra for SMS when AT&T advertises their "unlimited data" plan and then charges extra for texting. so i had AT&T cut my SMS services OFF. i've discovered the email-to-phone workaround for sending to another phone's SMS which even works for photos, but...

    Leopard & Application crashes

    i don't know if anyone else is experiencing these issues, but since i have installed Leopard (and BTW, i finally formatted my drive after installing it and having huge problems with Mail), i've noticed that i've never had a Mac OS which had such a problem with often crashing applications...

    MacBook Pro Post-Leopard Battery Life Issue

    i upgraded to Leopard recently, and i'm not certain, but since then i've noticed my Powerbook Pro battery is not lasting long at all compared to its normal capabilities -- probably about half a long as normal. now, perhaps it has nothing whatsoever to do with Leopard, and it's just a...

    Mail outgoing list

    does anyone know how to edit the outgoing email list in Mail? i wish Apple had put a "remove" option in the GUI! i'm assuming there is some text file which hold this info that can be edited, but it's not easy for me to find... nothing seems apparent in the Mail Pref's folder of my home...

    small print output using Mail

    i have never tried to print using Mail, but while at a client's yesterday, he showed me how his Mail app prints things at about half the size of normal. i checked all of the basics, like Page Setup & print dialogs, but cannot see any cause for this. i just printed something out of myMail app...

    Font style copy & paste

    my ONLY problem since upgrading to X.2 involves losing a MUCH NEED feature that i've been bragging about in X since it came out... that is the ability to copy and paste font styles within Text Edit AND Mail by simply selecting the desired font, [Command-3] then selecting the font to replace...

    ok... another Q! the "option-select empty trash" method of deleted locked files in the trash can doesn't seem to work. is there any new method of quickly deleting these files without unlocking each file?

    newby to OS X

    i'm curious... how does one change the "short name", and therefore, the "home" name once it is already entered. it seems i cannot find a way to get the "Users" pref to allow me to edit it! also, the Classic DVD player doesn't seem to work... is there one for OS X? i haven't found it yet...
