Sorry to hear about that parkerrolfson, I know the feeling. Since this thread has been up for a week with no ideas from anyone as to what causes this, I think the best thing is to learn from it and protect ourselves in the future. I've now bought ChronoSync and am syncing my data between my...

Nope. I right-clicked on the trash can and clicked Empty Trash. The folders on my desktop then started being swallowed by the trash can. Strange but true.

Nobody has any answers or even guesses?

I usually empty my trash up to three times a day, and earlier today when I did it I got a message that something couldn't be deleted because it was in use. The item in question was not in use and also not important (that's why I'd trashed it) so I clicked continue. Next thing I know, the...

Way back when I was still a Windoze user, I seem to remember there was a way to block emails from someone you didn't want to get emails from again. I also discovered Mailwasher which was very handy for blocking and bouncing. I can block emails via my isp, but only if I haven't downloaded them to...

Entourage mail is usually very easy to copy across - I work between a Mac Mini and an iBook, and when I need some mails copied across, I drag them from Entourage to the desktop (they copy as .eml files, not move) then pop them onto a memory stick or into my network folder if I have both machines...

Cyberduck works an absolute treat! eric2006 - transmit and fetchsoftworks don't appear to be free simbalala - using that method I got the "connecting to" window, and then got disconnected Many Thanks Everybody!

I hope this is in the right place, and I hope I describe it correctly! A designer I'm working with has created an ftp site where he uploads files for me to download. It's protected with a user name and password, and I was able to access and download the first time on IE 5.2 for Mac after...

I'm not an expert, tried searching for the answer to this but not really sure what it's 'called'. I'd like to find a way to use my iBook at the office, working with the files from my Mac Mini at home. I tried using remote login - worked as long as I was on the same network at home, but not...

In looking for a free site to share photos in albums (with lots of space, lol) I chose Bubbleshare.com. They provide a plugin for iPhoto so that you can export a batch of photos all at once instead of one-by-one. The pics are in iPhoto, the plugin is installed, but when I click on Export...

I agree there are "issues"... lol... but if millions of other people around the world can get it right, I refuse to give up! Anybody else got any suggestions? Please?

I doubt it's my ISP, purely because I don't have any other connection problems, and can chat on Yahoo just fine, and hubby uses same ISP and never gets disconnected from MSN.

Er... just went to do that, was trying to look for the right button, only to discover a little text that says "Firewall Off"... (I did say I'm blonde) :o What now...?

Thanks, will give that a bash right now and update once I have results - but still a bit nervous about turning firewall off...

Hi El I've got no idea how to remove my computer from the firewall and connect directly to the dsl modem - any suggestions? Also, wouldn't that expose me to a lot of risk, having no firewall protection at all? Thanks for posting!

I'm back again... because I'm still having problems... I've tried to chat on all (I think) the messenger programs available for Mac that use a hotmail account or .net passport - Adium, Fire, Mercury (current) and MSN itself - and I have the same problem with all of them: I keep getting cut...

Thanks, Tommo - will investigate and report back.

I have two user accounts on my machine, my account is the admin account. I'd like to have access to the other user account or that account's files/folders from my account, but password protected. Is this possible? I considered FileVault but am not sure (nervous from what's been posted about...

It might not be the ideal solution or everybody's cup of tea, but take a look here to see some possible solution/s, and how I decided to solve my problem.

Thanks, perf - I did come across both those articles in my hours of searching. I made sure that I have the fonts Tiger needs, and I don't have the Helvetica problem either. Will look into the Extensis suggestion once all of this is resolved, because I literally have thousands of fonts.
