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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi, Last few months I've been pretty set on getting a new iMac if and when they finally hit the streets. I'm running a 1.5GHz Powerbook with 1GB RAM and the hard drive is only a few gigs from being full - mostly with photos because I'm starting to pick up jobs as a photographer. I need...

I'm considering picking up a current 2.16 GHz 20" iMac with the 128MB graphics card and upgrading to 2GB RAM, or whatever similar iMac that may or may not be released after WWDC. How do they handle games like The Movies (which stutters a bit and slows down after a while and can only show the...

I have a Powerbook 15" with a 100GB drive and it's no longer enough for me, both in terms of storage space and grunt power (I have a lot of photos and CS3 to run...). So, I'm in the market for an iMac I think. A Mac Pro is too rich for my blood, a 24" iMac looks lovely but stupidly big, so a 20"...

Hi all, I'm having a nasty case of upgrade-aholism. I keep looking at the rather nice prices of Apple refurbed MacBook Pros (15", Core 2 Duo) and thinking about spending around £1200 on one then selling my Powerbook G4 to make a few hundred on the price back. It's a Powerbook G4 15"...

Hi, I'm using a 15" PowerBook G4 and want to attach an external keyboard to it when it's on my desk, so that I can place the PB on a plinth that raises the screen to my eye height, and then I can plug in the external keyboard so that my hands are at the correct height on my desk. Thing is...

I'm up at my mum's for a few days and they've got Waitrose broadband installed, FINALLY. It's via a Voyager 210 ADSL router, connected to an Airport, connected wirelessly to a iMac running OS9. However, both she and I are having the same problem with some sites using her connection (I'm on a...

Hi! I've downloaded Gallery and netpmb and been using the Terminal to try to set it up and have had NOTHING but trouble. So much for it being 'really easy'!! Basically, I just can't get the gallery/setup/index.php file to do anything in my browser (Safari) other than show a load of what I...
