Hi Gary,
This is the second time I am writing to you. I had a problem with the way Mac copied files on the Pen Drive. I used Blue Harvest as you suggested and that is sorted.
Now this Pen Drive plays music in my car, after I’ve transferred music from iTunes and sometimes it ... (1 Comment)

Not intended as a forum topic, but just want you to know that I am very happy with gazelle.com. I sold my used MacBook Pro for an acceptable price and they were in touch with me at every stage. The free shipping and mailing labels for printing are great perks. I’m ... (2 Comments)

Why hasn’t there been any updates to this program. I have used it for years and it’s still the same. Getting softeware updates from Apple is like pulling teeth.

My keyboard on my iMac stops working randomly. It probably started about three or for weeks ago. The only way to get it going again is to either unplug it from the USB port or restart the computer. Very frustrating. I never know when it will happen.
I tried unplugging ... (1 Comment)

I’m concerned about what you said regarding the Safari 5 Reader and its potential for driving countless sources of great ad-supported information off-line. Do you see any silver linings around this cloud? The Safari team (and Steve Jobs) certainly know of the bad fallout ... (1 Comment)

My iMac hesitates and gives me the beach ball most of the time. I’ve tried some of the things in disk utility. Nothing seems to help. Is there a problem with spotlight maybe?
If anyone can help, please do.
