    Is there an OSX game like Ambrosia's 'Swoop'?

    Hiya, Just had a pang to play Swoop but it doesn't work on OSX :( Has anyone else made a game like Swoop, with the same blend of classic Galaxian gameplay and polished presentation? Cheers.

    Step by Step required for converting my POP Gmail account to IMAP, with Mail

    Hiya Natobasso, Cheers, but that's not the problem. They aren't deleted from my Gmail server, they're moved from INBOX to ALL (which is like the archive). If they aren't moved from INBOX they'll be redownloaded every time I fire up a Mail app, be it on an iPhone, iPod or Mac. That's no good...

    Step by Step required for converting my POP Gmail account to IMAP, with Mail

    Hello, I've been using Apple Mail with POP Gmail for a few years now with problems. Generally I ignore the Gmail side of things and only ever access through Mail at home, and also use a Blackberry to send and receive emails. At the moment Gmail pushes mail to my Blackberry and also holds...

    Gigs of invisible photo files when I download from camera - Why?

    Cheers VirtualTracy. I've been investigating further with the aid of someone at Apple Discussions (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7359075#7359075). Turns out that Image Capture is taking my photos (complete with profile as embedded by the camera at origin) downloading them...

    Gigs of invisible photo files when I download from camera - Why?

    UPDATE: Seems going into Image Capture options and turning off 'Embed Color Profile' stops the creation of the invisible image. I wonder why it was so large in the first place? Can I still go through my other images and bin those invisible duplicates? It would create gigs and gigs of free space!

    Gigs of invisible photo files when I download from camera - Why?

    Me again. I've done a test which I think proves that Image Capture is causing this problem - at least, my copy seems to be! I took three JPGs on my camera. I set up three folders on my hard drive - one to download into from Image Capture, one to download into from Photo Mechanic (which rocks...

    Gigs of invisible photo files when I download from camera - Why?

    Hi all, Recently spotted a weird thing happening when I download images from my Nikon D200. I use Image Capture, but not sure if that's the problem. Maybe it's not a problem - hopefully you guys can help. Basically, when burning a DVD of images for a friend, I noticed that if I dragged...

    Intel iMac won't boot up - freezes on grey screen or Apple symbol

    Hi everyone, Got my 24" 2.4GHz iMac on release last year, with Tiger. Installed Leopard on it on release day. The problem I have is that ever since a botched Boot Camp installation I've had endless problems with certain applications hanging during their startup (notably Image Capture) or...

    Spaces doesn't seem to flip between screens anymore

    Hi, For some reason that I simply cannot work out, Spaces will sometimes just stop working properly. All the spaces are present and correct, but for some reason, if I change apps using Cmd-Tab as I usually do, the app will become active (according to the menu bar) but the screen won't flip to...

    How could I integrate iCal and Numbers, if at all?

    As a freelancer I maintain a paper/pencil diary of my jobs, if I've invoiced, and if they've been paid yet. I also maintain my diary of engagements on iCal and iPod touch but I only use these to note the dates of work, rather than adding the invoicing details as well. I'd like to get all of...

    Leopard Mail has stopped playing the notification sound for new mail

    I have recently thought I was going deaf because I was getting new mail and never hearing the sound for it. I thought maybe iTunes was on too loud or something. However, I've just done a test and no, Mail is definitely not playing the new mail sound. Speakers are the internal default ones...

    Can you disable Spaces on a second monitor?

    I've found my own personal 'Spaces Hate'. I want to run EyeTV on a second monitor so my girlfriend can watch Freeview while I get on with my work on my iMac. However, stupid Spaces ties the second monitor into it's Spaces rules, so if I change spaces to Safari or whatever, EyeTV goes whizzing...

    Challenge! How can I create this apparently impossible Smart Playlist?

    Hi all, I want to create a smart playlist that puts all my 5 star albums (I have about 3GB of these in my library at present), most of my 4 star albums, and only 4GB of my 3 star albums (selected by least played), to a maximum of 12GB, for my iPod touch. I've got a load of smart playlists...

    How do I create this rather complex Smart Playlist, and keep albums together?

    Hi all, I want to create a smart playlist that puts all my 5 star albums, most of my 4 star albums, and 4GB of my 3 star albums (selected by least played), to a maximum of 12GB, for my iPod touch. I've got a load of smart playlists going on - one for all my 5 star albums, one for all my 3...

    How do I tell iPhoto I'm in the UK, for books etc?

    Okay, different tack - anyone in the UK that's used iPhoto '08 to order photobooks (or even iPhoto '06, recently) able to let us know at what point in the creation/ordering process you're told how much your book will cost? I'm not comfortable making a book and adding pages etc without knowing...

    How do I tell iPhoto I'm in the UK, for books etc?

    It doesn't seem to make any difference. Mine is set up for the UK but when I click on 'options and prices' in iPhoto it takesme to the US page.

    How do I tell iPhoto I'm in the UK, for books etc?

    Hey all, I've been tinkering with iPhoto after a loooong time away from it, as now it allows me to load photos in without copying them wholesale from their current location on my hard drive. I'm going to want to make some of those gorgeous photobooks at some point but the UK iLife website...

    I've already 'migrated' from PowerPC to new Intel iMac - what should I look out for?

    Okay, cheers for that... More precisely, this 'System' folder contains just one folder, 'Library', which contains a whole bunch of stuff that's also in the 'Library' that's on the same level in the root of my hard drive as aforementioned 'System'. Are we sure they aren't duplicating each other?

    I've already 'migrated' from PowerPC to new Intel iMac - what should I look out for?

    Hi, I've just bought a new Intel iMac and when it arrived used the setup assistant to migrate everything possible from my Powerbook to the iMac. It wasn't until afterwards that I found people saying this was a BAD idea. Well, if it was such a bad idea why did Apple let me do it...? Well...
