Hi there, I have been using iWeb to create a new homepage for our small company. It worked really great, and I didn't regret not to use html code one moment. But, at the end, the output of iWeb is a folder with subfolders for every page. The subfolders are containing all the images used...

Hi, now having switched to Leopard, I bought an external hard drive in order to use time machine. Unfortunately, every time the hard disk is touched (once per hour for the backup and still once per hour for a reason I do not know -- and every time I turn my mac on --), the hard disk stays...

Hello, first, let me express that I really like the iPhoto book templates. They are very elegant and with ease, I can create a very beautiful book. But when traveling, I do not only shoot photos of the locations. I am very interested in the way the people live. In the language they...

Hello, a friend of mine nearly convinced me to use Apple pages instead of Microsoft Word for most of my tasks. But unfortunately, there is one thing I use frequently for my work and this is putting numbered figure titles under pictures. After hours of searching, I didn't find out how to do...

Hello, it's long ago since I last have made a backup of my system. What primarily holds me back is that I keep pretending that I just do not have the time. Then I fell over an article which describes how to backup recently changed data using the automator: - create smart folder that...

Hello, since several month, I am trying to find an answer to the following question. Perhaps you could give me a hint, as I still do not know the answer. My problems are non-ascii-charracters in filenames (such as Umlauts, accented characters and so on). Before working with Apple, I was...

Hello, I found that there exists a really interesting program for backing up data. It's called backup 3. Apparently, I can only get it by becoming member of .mac, am I right? If so, what do I have to pay for .mac and is there any extra fee to pay for backup 3? And do I have to pay...

Hello, when a dialog box (I hope this is the right expression) comes up and demands for example "Do you want to save changes to this document before closing?" then I can choose, by mouse click, "Don't save", "Cancel", "Save". I love keyboard shortcuts. Is there a way to choose the...

Hello, yesterday, I dragged a picture from iPhoto and dropped it on my desktop. What I saw then was neat! Instead of seeing the ever-the-same icon of some pictures also stored on the Desktop (the Preview-Icon, to be more exactly), I saw the picture in the icon! If you see what I mean...

Hello, I am looking for an option to automatically start files with a special extension always with the same program. For example, if I want to open a .avi video file, macos by default does it with quicktime. As quicktime is not able to read .avi, it usually hangs or crashes. What I like...

Hello, I'd like to keep my local work folder synchronized with my personal folder on our enterprise' server, which runs a microsoft network (smb). I heard that "rsync" would do the job. However, even after reading the man files, I absolutely have no idea how it can be done on an microsoft...

Hello, I would like my mac to automatically connect to a special server of the microsoft network in my enterprise whenever it detects the network. Is there a way? For the moment, I always have to manually connect to the server, which is a bit bothering with the time. I'd appreciate any...

Hello Dear Mac-Users, I joined the Mac-Community several months ago and now, with a windows and an apple notebook in my office, I rarely see myself switching on Windows. However, there is one thing that I am missing on my apple: When it comes to manage meetings with my colleagues, I have to...

Hello, if you have to switch between X11 Applications, it is a little bit annoying that Cmd-Tab doesn't work for them. Instead, I always have to switch to "X11", then I type F10 and only then, my X11 application windows appear in the foreground. I surfed the web a lot, and the best...

Hello dear Mac-Users, I am new to the Mac-world, having purchased an iBook this week, but I already began to like it ;) As I have an E-Guitar at home, but no amp, I thought it would be fun to experiment with my E-Guitar and the iBook. So I buyed the so-called GuitarPlug, wich is a device...
