My new iphone 5 seems to be working perfectly...with one curious and frustrating exception - it won't connect to my home wifi network. I can connect to OTHER wifi networks - at home, at Starbucks - but not my HOME network. Now, I AM using Access Control on my Netgear router but I added the...

I have a Word document which was designed originally to be printed and filled out by hand. Now I need to change it into a Word form which can be filled out digitally. I'd ideally like to just place the form controls within the current document in order to simplify retaining the current look/feel...

I've been using Illustrator's more intuitive (for me, at least) tools to play with letterforms that will then go into InDesign. When I copy/paste the forms into InDesign, though, I see these object outlines almost as though the object is selected...but they don't go away. You can see the...

A friend of mine has had a Yamaha Arius YDP-S31 for a little while. His wife wanted to record some music to send to a relative who needed some cheering up so she recorded it to the tiny little internal memory built into the keyboard but we haven't been able to figure out a way to get that...

It's the weirdest thing. I always use a non-admin account for my day-to-day work to safeguard against any unauthorized system activity. So if I need to do an install, for example, I'll go through the Authorization dialogue...inputting my admin password only on a case-by-case basis. Of...

Okay, I have a DRM-protected DIVX version of Batman Begins. It only plays in the DIVX player and if I want to watch it I need to be connected to the net so the player can confirm that I have the right to view it, I guess. I'm going to be on a flight in the near future where I won't have...

My wife is still using an ancient G4 desktop machine with a paltry 20GB hard drive. Our financial situation's a bit rough right now so instead of buying a new computer she just wants more room for her files. In order to give her (a LOT) more space, I purchased an inexpensive external Seagate...

I'm currently running Adobe's CS2 suite on my Snow Leopard Macbook Pro and it...mostly...runs alright. I'd love to upgrade, of course, but my current income situation and reliance on savings make that a fiscally uncomfortable option at the moment. So I have a couple questions. [My specs...

I'm looking for advice/recommendations for inexpensive NAS RAID units because I have absolutely no experience with them. I've been wanting to add one to my network for a while now but the costs (for RAID-5 capable units, particularly) have been pretty far north of what I can afford at this...

Specifically, I'm considering a freelance design gig for which the client supplies an external firewire drive with a) a bootable system, b) a more recent version of the Adobe Suite than I own (necessary - his files are all in the more recent version), c) all of the project files, and d) Suitcase...

This is only happening some of the time...which makes it even more frustrating... Lately, when I try to copy/paste artwork into the Artwork tab of the info window for a movie in iTunes, more often than not the only thing visible after the paste operation is a tiny black dot in the middle of...

My mother's given me a disk of images related to a procedure her doctor performed recently. Unfortunately, the images files have the extension .MWW, none of my graphics apps will recognize them and I can't seem to find any information via Google. The closest I get when searching is a midi file...

I'm using v.1.2.3 of FontExplorer (yes! the free one...I'm STILL using it). It seems to work just fine on Snow Leopard so I'm not complaining but every restart I get that message "FontExplorerX is an application you downloaded from the internet. Yadda yadda yadda...". It's just a minor...

I upgraded iTunes to 9.2 and now I can't copy/paste album art into the info window. Fixed up some album cover art in Photoshop and tried to copy/paste but all I get in iTunes is a small dot in the middle of the window when I paste. I made sure that "export clipboard" was enabled in Photoshop and...

It used to be (back in the day) that when I downloaded a file the originating URL would get added automatically into the Get Info window. That was extremely handy and painless - no copy/pasting needed! These days I'm running Snow Leopard and I notice that, not only isn't this info added...

Saw this article on Lifehacker today http://lifehacker.com/5087956/customize-your-own-killer-enigma-desktop and it got me to thinking about whether or not there was a way to do anything similar on Mac. I've been Googling and searching help forums but all I've found are desktop shots that...

Is there any way to get lyrics into iTunes other than one track at a time? Since the iPhone's firmware these days supports lyrics, it'd be really nice to have them available but all I've found so far (aside from Googling lyrics myself and copy/pasting into the Get Info window in iTunes) is...

Has anyone else noticed any issues with color profile switching in 10.4.11? Since I updated the operating system, the colors displayed on my monitor have been, uh, flickering between different profiles at seemingly random times (although it appears that there is what may be simply a coincidental...

I don't actually know whether or not this issue is Huey-related but since I updated (notice...I didn't say up-GRADE-d?) my operating system to 10.4.11 my CRT monitor display has been 'flashing' periodically. As though different color profiles were being cycled through...although in no particular...

During a particular stretch of time, I got particularly paranoid about losing work files to hard drive failures. But instead of implementing any kind of logical backup system, I simply made periodic copies on whatever portable drive I happened to have handy of the folder containing ALL of my...
