I haven't had any new YouTube content on my Apple TV in four days and am completely out of ideas on ways to fix it. Any suggestions? The problem appears unique because I can't find any mention of a similar problem on the Internet.* What tells me that I don't have any new YouTube content is that...

Does anyone know of a tool for displaying a notification in the dock when new podcasts are available in iTunes? I'm looking for something like the numeral in the red dot that appears for new email in the Mail app. If there's a setting in iTunes, I'm going to be so embarrassed. I hunted there...

Can anyone find any information about the Browser Helper Object "IEdler.dll"? It appears in my add-ons for IE7 on Windows XP SP2 but I can't find any information about it in Google, etc. I've disabled the BHO, but it worries me to have a DLL which I can't find any information about (and can't...

Has anyone seen a USB port that's attractive for use with an iMac? What I don't want is yet another box on my desk with a cable going to the iMac. What would be ideal is something with a neck to plug into the back of the iMac (so the hub doesn't cover the built-in ports) and a row of add-on USB...

Did I get the correct information from Apple's store (1-800-my-apple)? I was just told that upgrading the memory on a Mac Mini from the base 512 MB RAM to 1 GB classifies as "custom configured" and hence the Mini wouldn't be returnable. That seems pretty draconian. I'm hoping that maybe the CSR...

I'm going to add two toys that need internet access to my entertainment system and would like to connect them to my home network wirelessly. Do I need to buy a wireless adapter for each of them (expensive and ugly) or is there some sort of box into which I could plug each new toy, connecting...

The Refurbished Mac Mini 1.66GHz Intel Core Duos at Apple's store are now priced higher that the new model. (The refurb link is way down the left column at store.apple.com.) My guess is that the refurb 1.66GHz Core Duo will drop to $479, but it's still $649, while the new one is $599. Does...

Is there an easy way I can map a keyboard command in Excel 2004 to remove hyperlinks? Now I go to Insert | Hyperlink (or right click or cmd-K) and then click the button "Remove Link." I think the button mucks things up if I wanted to use OSX's Preferences | Keyboard & Mouse | Keyboard Shortcuts...

I'd like to fill my iPod Shuffle from two smart playlists. I do so manually now, but figure there must be a better way. Can anyone help? The two playlists are: 1) Music rated 4 or 5 stars, and 2) Music rated 3 stars. What I do now is copy all of my 4 and 5 star music, ordered by decreasing...

The header for search results includes text that I find to be barely visible. The text is class "smallfont" using text color #555555 and appears on a background class "tcat" using background color #004d80. I think that the "smallfont" text should be lightened a bit. #999 text works on #004d80...

I have a wireless router that uses WEP security for the wireless connection. I'm wondering if WEP's security issues could somehow make the wired connections from the same router insecure. For example, could someone sniff the password to gain access to the router and from there to my Mac? What...

Could you remove the underlines from the links? Most browsers default to underlining links but give the user a choice in the matter. I don't see the need to overrule that choice with your CSS. CSS file: http://www.macosx.com/css/stylesheet_macosxcom.css CSS: a:link { color...

Amazon and Newegg disagree on whether an LCD TV I'm looking at is 30 lbs (13.6 kg) or 42 kg (92.4 lbs). 30 lbs. seems awful light for a 32" TV, while 92 lbs. seems awful heavy (and possibly too heavy for the intended table). What's probably right, 30 lbs. or 42 kg? (I edited the paragraph above...

I'm wondering if English-dominance on the internet is causing German to lose its capitalization of all nouns. What about the ß ("ess-zett") turning into a double s everywhere? The reason I ask is that I noticed a post in English on another forum using unusual capitalization. At first I figured...

I'm very happy that replacing my six year-old cable modem quintupled my download speed, but what I don't understand is why the old one only slowed down. Why didn't it just stop working altogether? Can anyone give a relatively non-technical explanation? I'm just curious. It would have been nice...

I like to keep a window for Chicken of the VNC minimized in my dock. I've noticed that it UN-minimizes itself periodically, putting COTVNC as my top-most application. I'd like to make this behavior stop or at least investigate why it's happening. (Is there a better word for "un-minimize"?)...

Rise of Nations runs full screen. (In Windows-speak, it acts like a DOS program that takes over the entire screen, hiding Windows.) I'd like to be able to switch from RoN to my desktop without exiting RoN. Pressing cmd-tab doesn't do anything within RoN. Is there a way to get to the desktop...

Does everyone get "Security Update 2006-002 v1.1 Mac OS X 10.4.5" (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2006002v11macosx1045ppc.html)? The reason I ask is that Software Update tells me that my software is up to date, but I can see no evidence that 2006-002 v1.1 was installed...

TurboTax Online is now free if your AGI is under $50,000 - a substantial increase over last year's cutoff. Other tax preparation companies have similar free programs, but I didn't search for any links. Apparently the IRS forced the for-profits' hands by threatening to start an IRS free, online...
