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.2/19/10

Gary says, and I believe, you don’t need AV for OS X. But what if you’re running a Windows app in VMFusionware on your Mac. In short, a virtual Windows machine. Thoughts?
I have Comcast as an ISP and they offer Norton and McAfee as freebies.

3. Can it sync with iTunes?
4. Does it work with the App Store?
5. Does it come with the basic Apps? ... (2 Comments)

That said, it seems like I can’t get the entire note that I put in my iCal appointments on my iPod Touch if the note goes beyond a ... (2 Comments)

Hi Gary,
I recently started using an AppleScript to update my Podcasts while I sleep. However, I am not totally comfortable with leaving my AirPort running all night long. Is there an AppleScript to turn it on/off at a specific time?
Love your Podcast and book.

Is it safe to move the iChat and the Microsoft User Data directory (I have Office for Mac installed) to another folder inside my user directory?
I’m trying to tidy things up a bit and the flat directory I have is getting a bit unwieldy.
