I've had similar problems with Mail, but they go away, then come back, then go away. It is mind-numbing but temporary. Actually I've just realised this is not a particularly helpful reply so I will shut up, with apologies

This might come across as a moan, but it's not - I value the site hugely and don't mind in the slightest if ads are tagged onto my posts if that helps keep the Forum running. But why some posts and not others? How is it decided? Is it totally random or what? I thought it was on a user seniority...

I think the whole Stockport issue warrants further investigation. I mean, really, what have Russia and it's bounty of fit, available women got that Stockport Metropolitan Borough can't match? Answers here: http://www.stockport.gov.uk/

Hello all - I have a dozen or so movies (.avi and .mpg) I want to back up onto CD to free up space on my hd. Like a mad, mad fool I didn't opt for a Superdrive when I bought my machine (OsX 10.3.9, 12" iBook, 60GB hd) and now it's not a financial option. Curses. The files are about the 690 -...

Genius. Prayers answered. Zirconio-Davidians here I come.

Thanks all - Will look into LMB's suggestion and I promise to join some freaky and over-zealous religious nut-fest if it works. I have been going bonkers over this. Thanks for the help, easterhay

Apologies if this is a repost - search yielded zilch. It's a 'wits end' type moan - when importing a live cd into iTunes how the hell do I get it to simply replicate the original CD, ie no gaps between tracks, no slick (but glaring) merge between tracks - just a straightforward reproduction of...

In Finder apple-J for Show View Options. In the window which appears tick the Show Icon Preview box ta daaaaaaaa!

Anyone had any issues / problems with iPhoto 6 running in 10.3.9? Is it worth updating?

Don't take this the wrong way, fryke, but you once scolded me on a now-forgotten thread for recommending Mac Garden to someone seeking free games. I accept the rebuke entirely on the grounds of the highly questionable licence status of some of the games to be found on the Mac Garden site. But...

fryke, your new avatar makes me nervous. please revert to the old one

Have you tried VLC? http://www.videolan.org/

This is not a wholly constructive reply, more a general truth: as a switcher using 10.3.9 on a 12" iBook G4, one of the few areas where I've found the Mac lets me down in comparison with Windoze is burning cross platform, multisession CDs. I have no gripe about music CDs or single session CDs...

You have a new admin account set up. Is this to replace the account you lost? Copy the contents from the User folder you have found for the lost account (Documents, Pictures Desktop etc) into the corresponding folders of the new admin account. If you don't wish to use the new admin...

Switcher question here: Isn't the solution just for me to disable the "Open `safe' files after downloading" option in my prefs? That's what I've done, anyway. And I agree with Fryke - it's one thing to taunt your Windozer mates down the pub about all the malware they keep getting clobbered...

emvogia - as a fellow switcher I strongly urge you to buy something like the Missing Manual for your chosen version of OsX. It is worth every penny - in 11 months of use it has paid for itself a dozen times over. I now know far more about Mac Os tham I ever did about Windows (though that...

True - I found other advice about ports set up, but couldn't do much about it due to the whole kipper/bicycle problem, and the fact that my mum's PC is on a different continent to me. jcl26, you could try here: http://www.mvldesign.com/video_conference_tutorial.html Or here...

I read the contents of the linked page and it didn't seem to quite match the problems we were experiencing. My mum had a look too and tried to apply the info to her Norton settings, but she's not the most technologically accomplished user, so a bit like asking a kipper to ride a bicycle...maybe...

Isn't it true that Clamx scans but doesn't heal?

Just to draw a line under this sorry excuse for a thread.... My mam uninstalled Norton, screwed it up, threw it in the bin, set fire to the bin and destroyed the cinders in a bath of acid. Sadly she did not go so far as to buy a Mac. But she did instal McAfee and we are now using iChat-AIM...
