No doubt this is one of the simplest-minded question you fine people have ever encountered, but is it possible to have a ISP connection done instantly when you start Safari or Mail? Windows allows this, but I've gotten the impression you have to open the dial-up first, then open whatever...

Hi Lieutenant, Which plug-in do I use for Mariner Write?

Greetings, As it says, the Mail help doesn't function. I can call up Mail Help, but when I enter a key word and hit the appropriate button, nothing happens, not even the spinning wheel. Also, I noticed in Prefernces the com.apple.helpui.plist doesn't appear anymore. Could this be the source of...

A brief question: why is Spotlight so effective in locating MS Office items, jpegs, etc., but ignores documents created by other word processors other than Word? I use Mariner Write and MacJournal. Is there anything that can be done to modify Spotlight? If no one minds my saying so, this seems...

Greetings, When I call up help for mail (I wanted to know how to add an incoming email to my address book), I get a list of items based on the search term, but when I click on the display button, nothing happens, not even the familiar spinning wheel. I imagine it's probably a plist, but I'd...

Greetings, I recently noticed that Spotlight doesn't seem to recognize documents from software like Mariner Write (an OS X specific word processor if you don't want to use MS Word, which I hate). Does anyone have a clue as how to make Spotlight sensitive to identifying Write documents, or a...

Greetings, My thanks for your direct and succinct instructions. They worked; now I have the woodland trail photo from the forest screensaver as my wallpaper. Thanks again for helping out this Mac newbie. Your time and knowledge is greatly appreciated. Fredrik King

Greetings, This has got to be an easy one for one of you bright gentlepeople out there. Simply, how does one use an image from one of the built-in Mac screensavers as a wallpaper? Specifically, from the Nature screensaver? I've gone into a folder that indicates that it is the Nature...

Greetings, I recently installed, and shortly after, removed a demo for Internet Cleanup. Having done so, however, a popup message appears when I fire up my eMac: "Network SpyAlert Protection Expired! The installed demonstration version of Internet Cleanup has expired. To purchase the demo, run...

Greetings, I recently installed Internet Cleanup, tried it, then removed it--or so I thought. Even though the program is gone, whenever I fire up my eMac, an annoying popup message appears reading: "Network SpyAlert Protection Expired! The installation version of Internet Cleanup has expired...

Greetings, The subject line says it all. Entourage will send attachments (small .jpegs and documents), but not Apple Mail. This "behavior" started about 2 weeks ago. I've attempted a full shut down and disk permissions repair to no avail. Mail will accept attachments, it simply won't deliver...

Thank you! I reloaded the CD (which I was told would not be compatible with Tiger), and discovered a utility icon that allows for the same functions that the Windows PC allowed. Much Thanks! Sparrowhawk

Greetings all, I am using Gimp Print with Tiger on my eMac; my printer is an Epson C42UX. I have been having some "banding" problems with printing graphics, and discovered that there doesn't appear to be a utility menu for head cleaning, alignment, and so forth, to attempt to fix any problem...

I thought someone might bring up the issue that I should have informed myself better before making a purchase. You are probably right. I could have also asked for schemantics and blueprints too, but I'm not a computer geek, but someone who sees a computer as a tool, not something to revolve my...

I appreciate the info. At least I should be able to get a little more speed out of the current (read outdated) eMac. But it is still unfortunate that an eMac purchased so recently is underpowered. Perhaps Tiger slows it down?

The purchase was made from an Apple Store inside a CompUSA. I'm not sure what is meant by "directly from Apple" since an Apple Store seems rather direct to me, anyway. My problem is one of sales ethics: the Apple representative could have advised me that an update was due within a couple of...

Greetings All, I purchased my first Mac, an eMac, this past April, literally about a week before Tiger was released. (I got the Tiger upgrade shortly after for a reduced price since my purchase was on the heels of the upgrade.) However, the eMac performed sluggishly, and after I looked at a...

Greetings All, A simple question, but as a Mac newbie (eMac with SuperDrive), a perplexing one: how do I burn backups of iPhotos and Documents onto CD? It's odd that Mac doesn't have a program for this, and I keep getting advice to get such a program. I'm sorry to say, this is one area where...

Greetings, I'm experiencing some odd problems with my Epson printer and Gimp Print. For instance, the printer wants to know if I want a given job added to the que (sp), even when there aren't any jobs waiting to be printed. The printer also prints last page first, first page last, unless I...

On examining AppleWorks more closely, I did discover a Harvard version of their outliner, which does the basic job, although you need to exercise some care in what font you use: I tried American Typewriter (I'm of the last generation to have used manual typewriters and the electric Smith Coronas...
