Do you have another FireWire device (like a hard drive, iPod, or a friend's DV cam) that you could try connecting? This might help you diagnose whether the problem is on the Mac end of things or on your camera. I seem to recall reading recent com…

"Who's Next" - The Who. Even the worst song on it (My Wife) now gets a sentimental nod due to John Entwistle's death this summer.

I'm from Mass. originally, and SF is nowhere near as much as baseball city as Boston. I would say that football has a slight edge over baseball here in the Bay Area. That said, this is a pretty good baseball town. Barry Bonds and the new park ke…

Choosing "Connect to Server" is easy. Actually connecting to a server can be difficult, especially on Windows networks. I still haven't found any good way to browse domains and network shares (except with Thursby's Dave software). Unless you know th…

B. At work I "inhereted" a 500Mhz G4 tower from our graphic design department when they all went dual-processor and OS X. I also inhereted OS 9-only versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Office, Dreamweaver, etc., so I'm stuck with 9 for a while. …

Wonder what Apple paid for this? I used to work in analyst relations for both PR agencies and hardware/software vendors, and Aberdeen was widely considered the "slut" of the IT research industry. If you needed an analyst to do a positive write-up…

I know that older versions of some Adobe apps such as PhotoShop required a separate plug-in ("AltivecCore") to use AltiVec. Anyone know if this is still the case with version 7, or have they natively embedded this capability into the application? I …

1. Select "Print" from the "File" menu. 2. Select 'Save as PDF." That's it. If you want to preview what you will see before you save it, do just that: Click "Preview" (instead of "Save as PDF"), wait for the image to display, and then select…

I had the same problem with Silk before IE 5.2 came out. In fact, it made me wonder how much Microsoft had--ahem--borrowed from the developers of Silk.

No, it's Preview. I also think it's pretty weak. No zoom buttons (or any non-menu controls). No control over file size/quality on PDFs. I have to suspect that crippling this app was part of Apple's arrangement with Adobe to license the PDF engine…

As far as the mail application itself, you'll find Entourage pretty familiar if you're used to Outlook. The real problem will be if you're using your PC version of Outlook with a Microsoft Exchange server on the back-end (common at most larger compa…

I think the problem may actually be with Apple's "Preview" app, rather than with Word. The same thing happened to me when I tried to preview a landscape-oriented document I had created in Photoshop. Note that (for me, at least) "Preview" wasn't c…

I can't speak to the iMac, but I experimented with using my G4 tower as a software base station, and got MUCH worse range than my dedicated hardware base station (not an Apple Airport).

How about adding an FM tuner to the iPod? I hate having to pack my Walkman and my iPod whenever I travel anywhere, just in case I feel like listening to the news or a ballgame instead of my music library...
