I just received another email from a frustrated new Mac user. Lara is having a hard time with iWeb and since I’m not much f an iWeb user, I thought I’d throw it out on the table for you guys to take a stab at. Here’s her email.

Hi,

I just built myself a website on iweb and I do have a .mac account, I’ve been
trying to get the site published and It’s just not working.  I followed the
instructions I got from .mac about the changes I needed to make at my domain
host (yahoo).  I think they left some info out in the directions to publish.
Have you any advise or run into anyone with this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Here’s another user question I received from iBAM reader, Khara. Seeing that I don’t have my iPhone yet, I thought I’d throw it out to you guys to chew on. Any help for Khara?

I have an iphone and facebook question. How do I send mobile uploads to facebook from my iphone? Sure, sounds like it would be easy, just e-mail to photos@facebook.com or notes@facebook.com. However, when I send a photo to photos@facebook.com, it sends through my e-mail on my phone, so a message from facebook gets sent to me that reads:

“Sorry, we cannot support uploads sent via email. You sent from Yahoo. If you are sending from a phone, it must be configured to send directly.”

I googled my little heart out but couldn’t get the answer. Surely someone else has this problem.

Thanks for your time,

Khara

Today, I received an email from “Laura” and it got me thinking. I have heard a lot of people talk about the “Spinning pinwheel of death” as Mac’s version of Windows’ “Blue screen of death”. Here’s her question:

Yesterday while using my mac, I got a busy wheel. my computer wont let me do anything else. fortunately, it ran out of battery so it just shut off. however today when i plugged it in to recharge and turn on, the busy wheel is still there, it wont let me do anything on the computer at all. any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Have you been in this situation and how did you fix it? Help Laura out and I know I would love to know, just in case…

 

So, I got this crazy idea and I want to see what you guys think about it. I’d love for your feedback if you have any. I’m thinking about doing a semi-regular podcast here in iBoughtAMac called “Ask iBAM”. My first thought is to open up the panel for questions and I’ll select a couple each time to answer. If things take off, we can extend the ideas further, but let’s start easy and go from there. However, I’d like to lay down a couple rules (or guidelines) to the show just to keep things focused in the right direction: (Off the top of my head) [Continued]
