Q. I switched from a Windows Machine in March,
and the applications used to be .exe files. Now they
are .DMG. What do I do, do I just drag it into the
Applications Folder?
A. It depends. DMG is just a disk image. When applications are a single file, you can just drag and drop to either install or deinstall. Or it will be an installer that you double-click to install.
Q. I got a new Mac Pro. I plugged my printer into my Airport, but I cannot find it on my laptop.
A. You need to check your Airport Administration software to check that sharing is enabled.
Q. I have a file in Users/Library called Mirrors, it is getting big.
A. This is related to iDisk syncing. It will mirror the size of your iDisk.
Q. What happens with Time Machine gets full?
A. It deletes the oldest files first, except for the very first backup.
Q. I have a Canon i560. If I try to print in colour it goes haywire, intermittently.
A. Try trashing the preferences list - assuming it is related to the printer software. If it is the same on a different machine (it is attached to), then it is a hardware issue. Do a test print to check the hardware.
