Anyone know why iSync could be taking so long to start? Takes about 22 bounces of the triangle in the Dock. I have three devices listed there. I had four before, but removed one I don't use much, thinking maybe it would help, but it didn't. The only app I know that seems to start more slowly...

I'm ready to buy a new iMac, though my PowerBook G4 1.33 is still doing fine. I want a real desktop, and a newer faster machine. I am still waiting for any sort of solid rumor or announcement of the supposedly redesigned iMac. Nothing yet, and now with the delay in OS X 10.5, I wonder how...

I am using a wireless router with a repeater to extend to places in my home where there are dead spots. The router and the repeater have the same SSID, per the instructions from D-Link. My PowerBook connects to both fine, but the problem is that when I am in the area where I need to take...

I have a LaCie 200-gig Porsche FW drive. I find when it's idle, it will all of a sudden make a noise for a while like a sewing machine. It's pretty loud, too. Actual operating noise from the drive is pretty quiet. It will make this noise every once in a while and it drives me nuts. If it's...

Has anyone here tried to get Cedega - http://www.transgaming.com/ - to work under X11? I want to be able to play Escape From Monkey Island and it seems this is the only way to do it, other than with a PC running Windows. They don't seem to have a trial of Cedega.

I loved the first two Monkey Islands and want to play the third and fourth ones. Curse will play with ScummVM, but Escape is either Windows that won't work in ScummVM, or OS 9, which will not boot on my 12" AluBook, nor will it run in Classic. What are my cheapest options to run this? Thanks.

I've been using QuickSilver and for the past few versions have been having a problem that I cannot figure out. It all works fine when I have the Dock icon enabled, but when I disable it, I get this problem. If I hit the command to bring up the QS window, it will come up and then disappear...

I am probably getting a new 12" PowerBook soon and always remap Caps Lock to Control. Only problem is that there's no way to disable the light on the Caps Lock key. Anyone know of any way to kill that light from coming on? Thanks.

I'm thinking of selling my setup in order to get a 12" PowerBook. I'll probably wait until they come out with a backlit keyboard for it though. But, anyone know what I could get for my system? It's a Power Mac G4 867 (Quicksilver) with 896 megs of RAM and 2 60-gig drives inside. Perfect...

Anyone know where I can find a free font that looks like this? I've looked around but can't find anything. I need it for one stupid little thing and am not paying $30 for that. Thanks.

I am making a DVD in iDVD 4, but the back arrow from one of the menu folders is sitting over something. Can I not move it elsewhere from where it is by default? I can drag everything ELSE around. Thanks.

Please tell me they will talk to Apple on this.... http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/4532.html

I have found Toast Titanium 5 (whatever the latest version is) totally unreliable with DVD-Rs. It's hosed three so far. First was when I tried to make a copy of a data DVD-R from the Copy tab in Toast. Toast actually completely crashed. Another time just writing data to one I got this error...

So my friend's B&W Power Mac G3 was running 8.6 and he wanted to put 10.3 on there. First I installed a 9.2.1 CD on there and it was quick and easy. Software Update found 9.2.2 and some other updates. He has Verizon DSL which uses an app to connect. Upon trying to download the updates, SU...

Should I be able to back up /System and such to a DVD logged in as my regular use with admin rights? I have tried many times and always get errors. First it was a cryptic error that I finally realized was that I didn't have read permissions on some files. Then after repairing permissions it...

Anyone here use LaunchBar? I've been playing with it and it seems extremely useful. One thing, though. If I type "ie", no reference whatsoever comes up for Internet Explorer. Yes, I know the browser is a piece of crap, but in the rare cases I want to use it.....
