Hi, My Mac has been progressively grinding to a halt too. Activity monitor shows Finder using from 1% to 68% of the CPU. I have 11GB free and 60GB used. Any advice?

Well, it's been several months and I've looked for and tried several things for syncing my Windows Mobile (WM) PDA with Entourage on my Mac. For WM, I have several applications that are windows-only (like the Australian version of quicken) and so will need to continue to do 2 syncs - one with...

Guys, this is an issue with Entourage Tasks & Categories and Apple Sync Services that is known and documented and not solved simply by any of the applications on the market. Please, I'm requesting replies from people who have implemented a solution that they use for syncing Entourage Tasks (&...

Satcomer, do you have this working? Does it sync Tasks between Entourage and a mobile device? Does it retain the Categories when it does this?

Hi All, if there are any Mac users who sync Entourage with their mobile devices, are still running Tiger OSX and considering upgrading to Snow Leopard please note: - Leopard and Snow Leopard now have an integrated 'Sync Services' that synchronises iCal, Entourage, Mobile Me (was .mac) and...

Entourage syncing is now a significant problem. Previously, sync programs did their own sync direct with the devices, but now they use Apple Sync Services, which coordinates iCal, Entourage, Mobile Me and devices. The weakest link is iCal with its calendars and tasks. Basically it doesn't...

Anything for us people on 2004?

Thanks! I had already downloaded the Apple drivers, but they didn't work. Downloaded the Gutenprint 5.2.4 driver set, installed them and selected a CUPS-Gutenprint 5.2.4 for the Canon S800 and it works a treat.

I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and all went well except the printer now won't connect or print. I have a MacBookPro connected to a Netgear FWG114P router with a Canon S750 connected via the router's Print Server. All was fine before the upgrade to Snow Leopard. I have tried setting up...

Hello, I am running Max OSX v10.4.11 and iPhoto v6.0.6 (322). I loaded photos into iPhoto which are approx 2MB each. However, I had a disk crash some time ago and have re-built my photos etc. Now, when I look at my photos, they are all only 32K, not 2MB. Also, there is at least 2 copies...

I have an O2 XDA IIi and am using TMS for synchronisation. I have previously set up all the pairing etc and sync'ed successfully. However now when I go to sync, the device and my Mac won't connect. On the Mac, as soon as I turn on bluetooth for both devices, the bluetooth icon turns to the...

To run the Applescript, select all your files and drop them together on the icon FileName_X. Cool script! Hope Apple puts it in Leopard, and makes another ex-Windows person happier.

Oops. This is what happens when I don't read the dates on posts. Sorry about that. You have raised a good point: Fraghappy, after 15 months, what software equivalents etc do you use?

Hi FragHappy, my experience is: AdAware/Spybot - not needed Get: MacFuse, TNEF's Enough, The Missing Sync, VLC, Windows Media Player. I'va also discovered using the Dashboard for things that take time eg news RSS, weather, stock market reports, cinema times, tv results, timesheets etc -...

Hi Nasha, as a fellow Windows to Mac person, these are the things I use: - the dashboard I use for all things non-document/email/calendar related, so I have TV programs, stock market quotes, cinama times, TV programs, weather, calculator, harry potter countdowns (no comments!), news RSS...

Hi All, Just upgraded to the current 3188 build of Parallels and MacFuse and they are both working fine, in harmony, like they were made for each other. And I can even read the NTFS drive from Parallels AND Mac. Despite the egg on my face, I actually like being this wrong. Cheers!

Hi All, another couple of things I've found: - MacFuse will enable my Mac to read & write to NTFS drives, but it conflicts with Parallels. Ie now I can read/write to the NTFS drive with the Mac, but Parallels won't see the drive at all. - when you get your Mac repaired for physical damage, any...

Hi Dubs, go into an application and choose 'Print...' In the third pull-down box (it starts off with Copies & Pages selected), select Layout. from here you can see Pages Per Sheet and Layout Direction. I have a few print presets saved, for 2-pages per sheet for documents for me to...

I’m an IT consultant who moved from a Windows machine to a MacBookPro, for a few reasons, including windows problems and a desire to use a much stronger operating system which was easier to use, and to do my work quicker. While this is generally the case, I’d like to manage the...

I was looking at iSync and surprised that it sync'd with smart phones but not windows mobile. My suggestion is for a way to sync PDAs with the Mac in a way that is robust and consistent with the rest of Mac software. The low number of PDAs surprises me, because I know lots of people with...
