How to access Skype password in Keychain ?

Yes, it comes up as 4:3 though you can then go to 16:9. Apple DVD Player has no such facility to change aspect ratio. Severin Crisp On 28/12/2010, at 8:27 AM, Merv Bond wrote: Are you able to view the file in Toast 10's Video Player? If so, what aspect is given? Merv On Mon27Dec Mon27

Hi Chris, I have been using Parallels for some time now over many incarnations of OS X, so while I cannot guarantee the latest version will run with 10.5.8, I am fairly confident it will... I just checked the Parallels website and indeed Leopard 10.5.8 is supported - though no version of Tiger

Hi Carlo I have been in need of an alternative to using Bootcamp for PC work, and your suggestion of Parallels sounds like the one. I have a MBPro with 10.5.8 running, will parallels work on this? Also Carlo, what is the Mac App store you mention and does it differ from the Apple store o
