How do I request a payment via Paypal?

I’m working with a new vendor and they want me to generate an invoice via Paypal so I can get paid. They’re referring to a request payment but I don’t know what that is. Can you help me out here with Paypal, please?

My new external Mac drive is read-only. How can I fix it?

This is so weird: I just bought a new 500GB external hard drive but when I hook it up to my iMac, I get a little “not allowed” symbol every time I try to copy anything onto the device! Digging around, it appears to be connected “read only”. HELP!

What are the cool third-party Mac OS X screen savers?

By default, there are some pretty nice screen savers on my iMac, but I’m wondering if there are any third-party apps available, and if so, what are some of the best? Do you have a screensaver running, Dave, and if so, which one?

How do I create a group in LinkedIn?

At a local conference, a social media “guru” was telling me that LinkedIn is very particular about what groups it allows on the site, and that I can’t just create whatever group I want. I run a resume review service for college kids and I want to have a group associated with it on LinkedIn so that if people search for resume help, they’ll find me. So, can I create a group on LinkedIn or not?

Are there third-party Apple iPod repair facilities?

We see tons of questions like this: “My iPod went through a huge wash, and the screen is black, when I hold the flashlight to it, it is seeable, but, it’s very inconvenient to have a black screened iPod nano in the public.” that ultimately boil down to: my iPod’s busted, how can I get it fixed cheap?

How do I customize my Mac Weather Dashboard widget?

Just picked up my new MacBook Pro yesterday. The dashboard came with Cupertino, CA defaulted as weather and time. I can’t figure out how to get my home town as the default location, even though I marked it as such numerous times in the Yahoo weather page. Any suggestions as to how I can change this default setting?

How can I create a form in Google Docs?

How do I make a copy of a form or a document from Gmail email and then complete the form using the computer? I have tried and have achieved the level of “No Luck”. So I wind up printing the form and completing the form manually. Then I scan it and send it to whomever. There has to be an easier way. I thought maybe using HTML might be the answer, but I can’t seem to find out how to use it instead of the standard language of Gmail.
