The idea of dot-mac syncing is a good one, and one we've got in the venerable requested features list, but it has a few technical considerations. When you think of things that syn…

Do you run Virtual PC? If so, it taps into the firewall to protect itself and prevent your Windows installation from being hacked. Another possiblity is PGP Desktop. It also modifi…

no, the only thing i can think of is that my wireless router security settings are tapping into the firewall, but i still want to use options like "stealth mode"

Check /Library/StartupItems for anything that Flying Buttress may have left behind. If there's a startup item in there, that would explain what you're seeing.

I had this same problem a few months back. The solution that worked for me was to download a fresh copy of flying buttress, immediatly use the uninstall that was downloaded. Viol…

If an iPod winds up needing replacement, is is possible to pay the difference in price and get a newer version? Thanks!

Depends on if you bought it from Apple or a retailer, and if you got the retailer's warranty or applecare.

No, it's definitely not possible.

No, but if Apple replaces it between month 6 and 12 of your warranty, you have the privilege of shelling out a $30 "processing fee" or $59 for AppleCare. Your choice of fees simpl…
