Hi guys, Wondering if any of you can help with my little 'problem'. I'm using Mail with a POP3 account and recently changed the 'Full Name' field to read my actual name as opposed to the name of my company. However, since changing the name I now have two names in the 'From' field when...

Hi there, I woke up this morning to find my MacBook Pro had crashed somehow, so I had to do a hard shut down and power up again. No problems. However, now when I have Mail open, it shows that I have 1 new email, yet I can't find it anywhere - it's not in any of my inboxes or anything...

Hi there, I have a script that i've been sent to run which has the file extension .pl - I have downloaded Pearl as I was instructed to but I have no idea how to actually run these scripts. I've never done anything with scripts before so please excuse my ignorance. When I double click the...

Hi guys, I've been having a problem with my iPod for a long time but have just put up with it, but now it's really starting to annoy me. Basically, I want to have my iPod setup so that when I connect it via USB it automatically syncs to my iTunes library and updates it with all the latest...

Hey guys, Got a G4 (i think) at work that won't boot. I'm not sure on the specifications as I can't get into OS X to find out and as it's a fairy old machine, no one at works knows what it is either! When I turn the machine on, i get the apple logo and the spinning 'wheel' but after a few...

Hi ya! Over the past couple of weeks my MacBook Pro has started crashing quite a lot. Most of the time it's when I'm doing general day to day things like using Safari or Mail. Other times it's been when I've been working on something in Logic or Ableton Live 6... To be honest, it's quite...

Hi guys, I've noticed that recently, over the past few weeks, my MacBook Pro has been getting quite slow at doing most things! I use Logic Pro a lot and that has started becoming very slow also! I have recently installed some new plugins and virtual instruments for logic but I can't see...

Hi guys, I've heard a lot of people talk about repairing permissions on Macs. I just wondered if you could tell me when it's wise to do this? Is it something you should do once in a while? Should you only do it if something goes wrong? I'm fairly new to the world of the Mac so I'm not sure...

I read somewhere that the 10.4.9 update now provides support for Sony Ericsson K800i... I have tried running iSync a few times to add my K800i as a new device but both times it's not found anything! I have made sure bluetooth is turned on and set to discoverable on the phone but it still won't...

Just went to open iTunes today - i got the spinning beachball and nothing happened. I tired to Force Quit but that didn't work so I went to the task manager and tried to Force Quit from there... After a few minutes it eventually quit. I tired again and it did exactly the same! Any idea whats...

I have a 15" MacBook Pro with a Focusrite Saffire LE connected to the Firewire port that I'm using for basic production at home. I keep having the same problem thats really annoying me... Sometimes when I quit an application, for some reason the Firewire connection drops. It wouldn't be so bad...

Not so much a problem, just annoying... I recently installed skype onto my MacBook Pro. Now it seems that whenever I restart, the disk image that you download from the Skype website mounts on my desktop and launches itself! Seeing as I don't have the .dmg file anywhere on my computer and...

I've had this problem with Safari since I got my Mac Book Pro in August... Basically, certain websites (MySpace mostly) cause Safari to 'lock up' and not do anything. By lock up, I mean it doesn't load the page fully and it won't go any further. The weird thing is that it messes up my internet...
