to update a clean install of Leopard on a new drive installed in the G5
can't see any reason why but before I do I thought I would ask the

Screen darkens by itself (Macbook)
Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:54:39 +0100
Strange problem. (I know - they all are until you understand them.)
Partner has a recent (this year) Macbook. Fully up to date.
When she reboots, everything looks fine for a few seconds, then the
'brightness' symbol spontaneously appears - and gets turned right down
to black - all by itself. You just see the ...

app for grabbing youtube sound?
Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:27:20 +0100
I use the firefox extension to download youtube video, but I was
wondering if there is a free app available to either download just the
sound (probably not possible) or to grab the sound only once the file
has downloaded. Any ideas?
TIA,
David

OT: broadband upload
Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:36:04 +0100
Is there an ISP that offers good upload speeds? I'm sending 1.2 GB of
files to a ftp site and am only getting 45kb/s (on BT) - very painful.
Virgin at home is a bit better but only 50kb/s or so.

File Juicer
Tue, 26 Aug 2008 05:10:39 +0100
Hi folks,
This is probably old news for many of you guys but I have started to
use this package found at http://echoone.com/filejuicer/
As a blind user, it's been the best program I have found to access the
text from .doc and .pdf files. Yes, I do realise that preview works
well enough, but the speed of this ...

Where to ask Unix command line questions?
Tue, 26 Aug 2008 02:11:26 +0100
Can anyone suggest a newsgroup I could ask my Unix command line
questions on?[1]
Preferably, a forum that has people willing to answer straightforward
questions with something other than `stop snivelling and RTFM'.
Rowland.

Okay, it's like this:

Volume on MacBook
Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:32:28 +0100
Is the volume limited on a MacBook? I recorded onto a DVD from Radio 3
via a Virginmedia V+ box and it played back OK on the DVD player; the
volume was much lower when I played it on the MacBook and the audio
capture using Audio Hijack Pro (strongly recommended) sounded noisy but
the final captured audio sound ...

Deleted mail showing up in Mail Inbox
Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:27:26 +0100
Ok, this probably dates back to early May this year when my son somehow
managed to reset my mailbox to his .Mac account. Don't ask em how, but
he managed to delete all mail in my Inbox prior to 8 May, when he did
this, and when I was out of the country.
So now I have a load of mail headers dating from 8 May to j ...
