    Sleep problem after installing updates

    I'm not whether it was 10.4.9 update or Security Update 2007-004 what caused this, but my Sleep is not working as it should anymore. I used the Terminal "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0" to disable the safe sleep before. Everything worked fine (my mac went to sleep within seconds after I closed...

    Question about a backup solution

    I am trying to figure out the best way to back up my Macbook. Is it theoretically possible to back up the whole 'Home' folder and in case of a hdd crash, just replace the default/blank Home folder with my original one and be exactly where I was in terms of system settings/applications/documents...

    Using Preview

    I am a switcher from Windows, and I cannot figure out how to use Mac OS X to preview pictures in a folder. In Win, I used Fax & Picture Viewer to simply open a picture and then when I hit an arrow it would move on to the next picture. I know Preview can do this if I select all the pictures in a...

Since yesterday, when I open a new Word window, it opens a little bit smaller than full screen, which is annoying because when I want to grab the scrollbar I click just outside the window and Word loses focus, because the window doesn't go all the...

    Compatibility between Office 2004 and 2003

    Is there a way to make Word load only those common fonts, so that every time when you run Word, you don't have to worry about picking a "compatible" font? Thanks.

    Compatibility between Office 2004 and 2003

    So can I go ahead and delete all the fonts in the FontBook and copy the fonts from someone's PC? Won't it mess up the other applications on my mac? Also, is there a way of expanding the toolbars in Office 2004? They have hidden buttons at the end and it's impossible for me to drag the corner of...

    spotlight icon is missing etc. (was: help!)

    lbj: no, that's what I meant. I wouldn't expect norton to help me here either. I was just saying that in the past, I thought about using it but for that exact reason you mentioned (could cause more problems than solve), I didn't install it. fryke: my fault. should have read the forum rules...

    spotlight icon is missing etc. (was: help!)

    no, I don't use any of those. I was thinking about installing Symantec, but after I heard all the stuff it can do to your computer, I just decided to rely on Macs' natural imunity against viruses.

    spotlight icon is missing etc. (was: help!)

    i reinstalled the whole system, which obviously solved the problem, but I really hope it won't happen again, because the main reason i switched from a pc was so that I wouldn't have to reinstall the OS every couple of months...
