also, somehow, all my files cannot be "cut", can only copy them somewhere else! How to fix this?

after copying the file (Command+C), press Command + Option (ALT) + V .. this is more like copy and move the file to the desired location

hey,

need some serious help from the Apple pros here. I recently exported my Outlook mail into a .olm format, and m not able to import this into my Apple Mail now. Understand that I need to convert the .olm into a .mbox first in order for this to happen, anyone has any application to recommend that can do this for FREE? or any other way to go around this? reason being, i do not have access to Outlook anymore.

Thanks in advance!

1. It's possible, How To Place Your Widgets On The Desktop [Mac]
2. It's called GeekTool
3. I doubt you can do that.

No idea.
There'll only be rumors and who knows what Apple is planning ahead?

Either that or use parallels to run windows version of office in OSX.

Unless your office is 3 license student edition or have more than one licenses for office for Windows. It is illegal to install in more than 1 pc for single license office software.

I recently upgraded my ram for my mid 2010 imac from 2 X 2gb to 2 X 2gb + 8GB. Now my imac keeps crashing when the ram used goes above 2gb. Anybody can assist me on this? I bought 8 gb crucial ddr3 1333 ram.

I tried using the 8 gb ram on its own without the original memory and it also crash. Is the crucial ram defective?
