Hi All- We had a death in the family recently, and that person was using a Mac Mini that now my mom needs to use. I am trying to set it to be as easy for her as possible, as she is a PC user at work. :( I want to make changes via System Preferences, but it's password protected and we cannot...

is there a way that I can set my Mac mail browser to block e-mails from one particular person's address? Not spam, just a certain person that won't take a hint. Thanks for the anticipated input folks. ;)

I am updating my site (see 'Googleability' below if you can help), and I originally used 'tables' for the four pages. I have recently added text to my index page to assist with search engine recognition, so I converted the index.htm from 'table's to 'layers' so that I could nest the layer with...

This may be a long shot, but I'm not privy to all the internal workings of networking, etc. I often visit a certain website for tips, personal stuff, etc. (it's not a bad site that should be quarantined), and just recently I began getting this message: 'Forbidden The proxy's access control...

My colleague just got a Mac Pro G5 and transfered all her files from her old G4, which was a hand-me-down machine. System Preferences names her as the Admin., but says her 'short nickname' is "fattychick" (for example). I looked around in Keychain Access, but the previous user does not show...

I just got Quark 7 for my PowerMac G4 at work, and I am currently running 6.5. We have some clients that will not be able to open up anything created in Q7, yet I need to be able to open and edit stuff sent to us in Q7 format. I have heard that there may be some problems if I install Q7 without...
