You probably need to pair the cellphone using Bluetooth preferences. I'm not in front of my Mac now, so I have to do this from memory, but IIRC you go to Bluetooth preferences, and click on a tab that says "add device" or something similar. I think this is the step you're leaving out. Good luck!

I have a Sony/Ericsson cellphone that I sync to my G5 via Bluetooth and iSync. All my current Macs (G5, G4, G3 iMac) are synced to each other via iSync and my .mac account. My question is, is there any downside to syncing my cellphone to multiple Macs? I'm planning on purchasing a 17" MacBook...

I have ssh enabled on my machine for remote access. Hey, it's better than telnet, right? Anyway, I was perusing the /var/log/secure.log file, and noted a lot of failed authentication attempts against what appears to be guesses of accounts on the machine (e.g., "test," "root," "user," "admin,"...

I was going through my system log recently, for a completely unrelated reason, when I came across the following entries: Feb 27 17:04:23 DeepBlu DirectoryService[38]: Failed Authentication return is being delayed due to over five recent auth failures for username: <user2>. Feb 27 17:18:06...

I have three Macs (G5, G4, G3 iMac) all running the most recent, fully-patched version of OX X 10.4. All three machines are synchronized using .Mac sync, and I have the same account on all three machines. About a month ago, two of the machines' junk filters simultaneously stopped working...

I've noticed that, in Activity Monitor, CPU utilization figures appear to go to 200% on DP systems (presumably, 200% means both CPUs are maxed out). I've seen individual processes exceed 100%, so it's pretty obvious that 100% processor usage is only 50% of total available CPU cycles. My...

Understood. But a lot of times mail.app seems to include graphics in a way (using a particular MIME type?) that makes the graphic completely inaccessible to the user of a different mail client. The graphic isn't an attachment, and double-clicking on it doesn't do anything either. Even selecting...

I knew about the "Windows-Friendly Attachments" switch, but I didn't think of the "Display image inline" switch from the context menu. I'll give that a try.

I.e., what to do when your Mac slows to a crawl. One thing I usually do before logging out, rebooting, defragging, reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling, etc., is going to the Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder (running "top" from the command line works too), and seeing if some...

I've noticed an issue in mail.app that has me stumped. In general, when I've wanted to send someone e.g. a jpeg file, I've usually used the "attach" button and attached the file. Earlier (i.e., pre-2.x) versions of mail would display the graphics inline, as well as show them as attachments that...

iTunes?

This is driving me crazy. All I want to do is place a title in a video clip. No matter what I do, iMovie wants to render it over black. I uncheck the "Over black" checkbox, drag the title onto the clip, and iMovie checks the "Over black" checkbox, and proceeds to render the title over black...

Well, I seem to have come up with a workaround for the inline-image issue. If I copy and paste in an image (as opposed to using the "attach" command), it seems to work fine. Creating an e-mail from iPhoto works as well. I haven't had a problem getting a signature to attach, but one place you...

Anyone having trouble getting attached images to display properly in Mail? They seem to display properly when they were composed in earlier versions of Mail, but not in Mail v. 2. I'd like to know if anyone else can reproduce the problem.

Is your signature a graphic? Because here's the freaky part: my signature has two graphical elements, which display fine in either Tiger Mail or Panther Mail. But other attached images don't display. When I send the same e-mail to someone using Thunderbird, the situation is reversed, i.e., the...

I seem to have come across a strange situation in Mail2. When I attach an image (JPEG or TIFF), it displays fine in the compose window, but then when I send it, the image just shows up as a question mark. The image is attached, shows up in the list of attachments, and if you click on the...

Well, here's the deal. My G5 has been up for about 20 days now (since the last security update that required a reboot), and with twenty-four applications up (including Photoshop, Filemaker, Illustrator, Word, and Excel), I've still got about 30 Meg free out of 1,000 Meg total (with about 12.5...

I should have thought of that. [CMD]-C should have been an obvious guess! Thanks.

I've been through the iMovie help files, and couldn't find any discussion of how to either export a DV clip from an iMovie project to a file, or move a VD clip from one iMovie project to another. It seems that once a clip is imported from the camera, there's no way to get it out of the iMovie...

Both machines are running basically the same group of apps, so I don't think it's a matter of which applications are running. I have the feeling that it might be a matter of different system architecture and bandwidth. And in the final analysis, it doesn't matter. What the question really...
