I thought I had turned off the “guest” account on Leopard, but was then darn surprised when a friend showed me that when he looked at the Network in our office my computer showed up. Worse, he could poke around on my file system as Guest!

I’ve been running Memeo LifeAgent on my computer for a few months with very good results, but recently wanted to add a specific folder to the existing network backup and was stumped. How do you add or change an existing backup schedule?
Regarding the “Stocks” dashboard widget that comes with Tiger and Leopard. I deleted the Dow Jones and NASDAQ symbols from my Widget Menu (in an attempt to reinstall and fix the thing). Is there any way to successfully reinstall this widget (Stocks) and again display the Dow Jones and NASDAQ numbers. Would also like the S&P 500. Can’t find a way to do this. Since Yahoo wrote the thing, I have tried them with no success either.
I know this is a pretty niche question, but I use Apple’s slick Preview application to look at images and when I open more than one at a time, it shows them all with a nice sidebar, but the sidebar elements are sorted by name, which messed me up: I want them sorted by when I actually created the graphic.
I had my old Mac laptop, an iBook, stolen and now that I have a new one, I realize that I can’t get the music off my Apple iPhone which is driving me crazy! Is there some way to sync the iPod music and video portion of my cellphone without having to start from scratch again?
I have no idea what happened, but I had Microsoft Windows XP running just fine within the VMWare Fusion application, as you documented (see installing Vista in VMWare Fusion) and now it crashes without an error when I try to run it. Help! I need to get this working!
I seem to recall a long time ago that when you installed Mac OS X you also got a bunch of cool Unix command line developer tools, including a C compiler, debugging tools and much more. I’m taking a C programming class at the local community college and would like to install these tools, but have no idea where they are any more. Help?
I know you’ve written rather extensively about Parallels as a virtual machine environment for Mac OS X, but I’m wondering what you think of VMware Fusion and whether you know if it works properly with Microsoft Vista?
