I know the whole AVI situation on OS X is pretty farcical, but this takes the cookie. I've gotten everything I've wanted to, to work so far on OS X but this one simply doesn't want to play ball. I've installed a load of codecs: 3ivx Divx 5 MS MPEG4 1 MS MPEG4 2 FFMpeg Evey time I try...

Ok, I can't access iDisk from the finder or the iDisk utility, although it correctly identifies how much space I have left. The username and password is correct although it says it isn't. I know it's correct because a) the iDisk utility correctly identifies how much space I have left, and b)...

I've just performed a clean install of OS X (10.1.2) and all day today I've been trying to access software update and it keeps saying that my software is up to date. Is this a known problem at the moment or just me? I've deleted the prefs in my user/library folder as well to no avail.

Ok, here's the situation. iBook with no CD-RW and a PC with CD-RW. They are networked, is there anyway I can burn a .dmg file on windows? Or can I convert it to an .iso or something that will burn on windows? Thanks Edit: well it seems I can just rename it to .iso and nero will recognise...

I burnt 400mb onto a CD-R and selected write session on the record dialog. How do I carry that on? In Nero in windows, I insert the CD and Nero scans it (usefully detecting any changes in the files) and lets me carry on with the remaining space. What's the equivalent in Toast?

My MSN list is a bit messy so I've decided to delete a load of them to cut it down to under 50. I delete them all, but next time I sign in, they're back. What the hell is going on? I've tried deleting them in MSN3 for mac, Fire, Proteus and MSN 4.6 on Win98 in VPC. I'm gonna go crazy...

This has been one of my annoyances on OS X, I've got everything I can see set to british, but any apps that take advantage of system side spell checking think I'm american. Take Omniweb for example: It's so annoying. I can't see what else to change. On internation in system settings...

I was playing around with some of the system files, specifically extras.rsrc. It was just my luck when the finder crashed when I was renaming it and it couldn't restart. Me being the newb that I am restarted the mac and found it just went to a blue screen, no OS. I tried booting from the OS...

In mozilla RC2, I had a file called classic.jar which I put inside the mozilla.app by going to show package contents and browsing from there. It made Mozilla look like Chimera. Now in RC3, when I go to show package contents, it shows the contents folder like usual, but it's dimmed out. I...

I've just discovered this feature and I find it extremely useful for accessing college documents on my iMac at home, from college. How secure is it to leave it on with FTP access enabled?

Ok, I'm on my mac and I'm fairly sure that there is an option in Mozilla. Me being the blind bat I am, I have probably read it about twenty times. Is there a way to make mail.app be my default client when I click an email link on a web page. Thanks.

Simple question, simple answer (I hope). I've just repartitioned my mac so I can store all my Documents, music, movies etc on another partition. I have 2 partitions, 1 x 10GB (System) and 1 x 30GB (Documents). I am wondering if I can move the location of the "home" folder to be simply the...

I've got wolfenstein on the PC and I love it but I want to try it out on my new iMac first to see what the performance is like before I buy it. Is there a single player demo out for RTCW?

Can anyone tell me how to change the icons for files such as .png, .psd etc etc. i don't mean individual icons I mean like whenever a .png file is created by photoshop, it will look like the new icon. This was a simple task in Windows where you can do it in folder options, I'm a new Mac user...

My iMac came today so I've been playing around with it, then I decided to get it connected to the net. At the moment, I have a 64k cable modem, connected to my ethernet port on my laptop. I turned off the laptop, unplugged the power for the cable modem for a few minutes, plugged the ethernet...
