Re: G5 problems
Thanks to everyone that helped with advice re my 2 G5 towers. Unfortunately the problem still exists, so I will put that on the back burner for a while. A new query though. Can I use Apple Script to re label loads of JPEG images? We are setting up our new on-line stock library and I need to be able to use alpha-numeric codes on thousands of pix, such as SUB0001.jpg to SUB0066.jpg, or PEOP0001.jpg to PEOP0200.jpg for example. Beta site: www.eyeinthesky.com.au/website So if anyone has experience with Apple Scripting I would love to hear from you, as I have never used it before.

Re: iPhone Calendar/Settings/1st Day of the Week
Hi All, If you change the International Region Format to United States, all your measurements, times etc will show up as US ones, your weather to F instead of C. You could try setting the Region Format to Hong Kong. This way you’ll get Sunday and Metric System. My iCal is set at Monday start of week, and iPhone is Monday start of week, and yes, I do sync with MobileMe. But, that is not the reason both are on Monday as start of week. It is because I have iCal set as Monday start of week, and my iPhone set Region Format Australia.

Question is, where do I find them? Hi Bill, Export your Bookmarks from Firefox then import the file into Safari. Open Firefox. 1. On the menu bar, click on the Bookmarks menu and choose Organize Bookmarks…. 2. The Library window will open allowing you to manage your bookmarks. From this window click on the Star button and choose Export HTML…. 3. The Export Bookmarks File window will appear. 4. Choose a spot to save your exported bookmarks that you can remember. then 1. Open Safari 2. On the menu bar, click on the File menu and choose Import Bookmarks…. 3. Find the file you saved from Firefox and click Import.

MacBook screen sleep
We have a Macbook, used principally by my wife, and currently she is studying an eBook. Annoyingly the Macbook screen darkens after a short interval of inactivity, while reading, prior to the eventual onset of sleep as set in Energy Saver. I have not been able to find any way to stop or lengthen this. I realise it is there for a very good battery conservation reason but would like to circumvent it temporarily. Any suggestions please?
