Help please - the (final) death of my XP box triggered me buying an iMac at the weekend - and so far am really pleased. Before the XP box died I got most data off using Microsoft's XP backup utility (compressed to .bkf format) and I'm now looking to see if there's an easy way to restore / open...

My new iMac is on it's way. I've used PCs up to this point. When I set up the machine I want seperate log-ins for myself and my wife. Should I set myself as an admin and her as a standard user? I'll do all the software installations so I assume I'll need admin rights? Thanks, Doug in AK

I recently bought a MacBook and am getting used to using OSX. I bought a laptop as I'm going to study abroad for 6 months, and a portable computer is just easier to take with me when I leave. I was pleased that this laptop has a webcam integrated in the screen (or well, above it), so that I can...

Hi there, how is everyone doing? After years of waiting and waiting I finally went ahead and got an iMac a few weeks ago. I've been using Windows all my life. I love the UI and ways things work. Now I know why Mac users say "uff!" when they use Windows. So far I haven't had any issues with OSX...
