Hey all Apple iTunes seems to be full of bugs, they seem to be rushing. These lesser products I can understand but look at all of the issues with 10.4.10! Thanks, David Moyle It seems that since that phone was announced, everything else Apple does seems to have suffered. Didn't

WTD: Inverter for White G3 iBook (the thing that makes the backlight work!)

Re: How can I save a series of images into one document?

Hi Reg, Does it *need* to be one large file? What about just zipping the folder into one archive. When you want to see them again, unzip. Might be the simplest solution :-) Seeya Rod! On 12/4/07 11:00 AM, Reg Whitely [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi WAMUGgers The brain is fried! I've

Hi Ken, Right click on any wmv movie file and select Get Info. Where it says Open With, change Streamclip to WMV Player or Flip4Mac (if you have it installed). Make sure you click the Change All button too, as you want to make sure that all wmv files open the same way. Seeya Rod! On 9/2/07
