    my whole computer pauses momentarily

    Try checking the drive with SMART Reporter fault codes: http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/23232 Also, try repairing permissions and disk structure with the Disk Utility. And check the Console for any warning messages. Why did you have to repair your drive with DiskWarrior?

    If you have to work with an Exchange server, then Entourage is probably your best bet.

    dos box help me???

    I'd also second the "no, you're not dumb" comment. I consider myself a fairly competent computer user, and I can remember at least a few times where I've tried to get something going in DOS Box, run into problems for ten minutes, flicked through all the help files I could find, and finally said...

    Good Games For Power PC's?

    I also have a G5 and here is what I have in my games folder at the moment (it tends to change quite a lot as I like to play a demo for a while and then move onto something else): Alchemy Deluxe Nanosaur (OS9) American History Lux Nanosaur 2 Bejeweled Deluxe...

    Random Display Change

    Apple menu -> System preferences -> Displays. Click "detect displays" and then set the resolution. This graceless crash might well have been brought on by a failed or overheated graphics procesor, a bad or loose video cable, or a fault in the monitor - so if it happens again please let us...

    opening wmv files in imovie

    Select the WMV file and choose file -> get info. Under "open with" change it back to Quicktime. Check the box that says "Always use this program to open this kind of file".

    iMac problem HELP!!!

    You'll need to install the operating system from an install CD. You could probably pick up Mac OS X 10.4 quite cheaply now, and that will work fine on any iMac. 10.5 no longer supports the G3 processor, though, so its worth knowing before you set out which model Mac you have. I suggest checking...

    DSL with no public access?

    Who is providing this DSL service? I've never heard of a provider who didn't offer static IP, at least as an option.

    Top Games for OS X?

    Also worth bookmarking: http://www.apple.com/games/ - I still can't understand why Apple make this section of their site so tucked away and hidden! (1) What are the *BEST* FPS games available for OS X? Unreal Tournament is still my favourite. Quake and Doom series are great too. (2) What are...

    First "Rogue" application (malware) for Mac: MacSweeper

    Yes, thats a good way to explain it. There's a patch for it though: End User Education A vulnerability has been discovered in the human being whereby they may be encouraged to divulge secure information or grant high level access if presented with a specially crafted request, such as...

    How do you make a video from pictures with music?

    I know Keynote will export, with all animations, to quicktime. I've done that before. I'm 80% sure Keynote can add in audio tracks, but I don't have it installed at the moment to check. In theory you could use Quicktime Pro to add an audio track in, though, if you have that.

    Is Norton's Antivirus Safe?

    I would concur that Nortons causes more trouble than it solves. At present, there are no viruses on the Mac. There are a couple of legitimate antivirus products such as Norton's, Virex and ClamAV. I'd still say all of these are pointless and come from the insecure, Windows-generated mentality...

    How do you make a video from pictures with music?

    If you make a slideshow in iPhoto you can export it to QuickTime. You can also make a slideshow with music in iMovie. iMovie '08 even has an Export to YouTube option built in. :-)

    Check ambient temp from the Internet

    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051021115356696 has a good bash script which seems to do the job, but on mine it leaves some of the values as floating point numbers rather than converting them to degrees celsius.

    There Seems to Be More Mac Users Lately

    Clearly, it is. While Apple, Google and others are all innovating like crazy, Microsoft has continued to try and push its same old business model. They still pin their hopes on a new version of the OS (Vista) and Office suite (Office 2008) that have been supporting their business model for...

    Apple Movie Rentals - BAD IDEA!

    I'm not quite sure I see your point, G5 guy. If you're saying people will be able to copy movies from iTunes movie rentals, well maybe they will, but then they can already do that from any other source. In fact copying from other sources such as original DVDs is easier, quicker and results in...

    MacBook Air!

    I'd disagree strongly. There *is* a market for this thing, but its also a market that doesn't get put off by the price. This is a luxury product, without a doubt, and has the price tag to match, but the fact is people will pay that much for it. And the price is less than what *every* laptop cost...
