The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.6/17/11

Gary, I’ve had an iWeb blog for several years which is linked to a GoDaddy domain name www.AdoptAnOregonDog.com. Will the end of MobileMe mean I have to change to something like WordPress or can I continue with iWeb?
Thanks!

I would like to know how to attach a vcf file in an email?
I have received some emails with this kind of file and is pretty easy to get information of the sender into your address book.

My iMac I bought in January has recently frozen a few times, and I’m actually typing this from my PC instead as the iMac is frozen and I can’t move the mouse or use the keyboard.
The batteries are fine as I changed the ones in the mouse to see if that was the problem, ... (2 Comments)

I have viewed your excellent tutorial for the Premiere Elements 9 video editor, and as I do not get along with iMovie, I was thinking of trying this as it seems similar to the Magix programme I used to use under Windows. After reading reviews regarding APE9 being slow I wondered ... (3 Comments)

I bought a text tone from iTunes that says “you’ve got a text message.”
In assigning it to a contact as a text tone for that contact, it will not show up. It only shows up when I try to assign it as a ringtone for that contact. But that is weird as when my phone ... (1 Comment)

Your latest video indicates we need to find a substitute for iWeb, but can’t we still use iWeb and post via FTP elsewhere? Is it not just the MobileMe service that is going away, or did I miss something about the future of iWeb?
Also, what you do is fantastic, Gary. I find ... (3 Comments)

Do you know if iCloud will backup (and save forever up to the free 5G limit) photo albums from an iPad? I’m wondering if an iPad can be used as a standalone device (never connect to a computer) and import photos from a camera using the iPad camera connection kit, store the ... (2 Comments)

I reinstalled everything with original disks, ran all of the updates, and I am now keeping my files on external disks.
HOWEVER, I have about 50 songs in Garage Band that I ... (3 Comments)
