Firefox or Safari font settings
When a Mac user goes to a web page, if the author has called for a certain element to have the text inside displayed in a *particular* font (like Geneva), and the user has not ticked any override preferences, the font will display in Geneva if he has that font (likely on a Mac). If the author specifies only... 9 Aug 2010 12:19

iTunes -- members of a group
I'm new to iTunes. Previously I created my own database, but this is faster. One problem is I often want to select albums that a particular artist played on, but iTunes seems to only allow the lead. For example, on "From the Master Tapes," John Coltrane was the leader and he shows, but the group included M... 12 Aug 2010 00:39

iTunes & Album Art
I'm reviewing some album mp3's that my nephew encoded and when you display the album art column it shows that all have their respective covers but the first track of each album has a separate line from the other tracks on the album. What causes this? How can it be fixed? Just an old dog trying to teach a n... 8 Aug 2010 13:24

Another Photoshop Elements Question
I have another Elements question that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I own Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. I also own Corel Painter X. In Corel Painter, I can create a "Layer Mask" which allows me to hide or show parts of an image without actually erasing it. On the layer mask, I can use the color black ... 7 Aug 2010 21:15

finding address books
I've encountered a strange problem using Thunderbird for which the answer seems to be Apple rather than Mozilla. Thunderbird uses the Apple address book in one of its optional settings but, yesterday, when I tried to forward a message to someone, the address was incorrect. Assuming I'd just made a mistake, I ... 9 Aug 2010 22:18

Delete repeating events in iCal
I haven't used iCal for anything in a long time. Tonight I'm reminded why. I went in to iCal to delete some recurring events that are no longer relevant, but were popping up because I had iCal linked to Google Calendar. (I had already deleted them out of GCal.) I deleted a couple, which worked fine. But it woul... 8 Aug 2010 13:24
