Jeeze, a whole host of problems. Why you keep having to reenter settings, I'm not sure. You aren't doing anything you can think of to cause corruption are you - like cutting power to the computer or the like ? Anyway, for getting Yahoo Mail set up in Mail here are some links, depending on whether you're using POP or IMAP Access Yahoo Mail using Mac Mail https://help.yahoo.com/kb/access-yahoo-mail-mac-mail-osx-sln4746.html?impressions=true Yahoo POP https://help.yahoo.com/kb/yahoo-mails-popnbspsettings-sln4724.html Yahoo IMAP https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN4075.html?impressions=true If things are getting stuck or stalled, there is a Mac utility named "Activity Monitor" for viewing processes, and "killing" them as it's called. Actually it's called "Quit" there. You can also use Cmd+Opt+Esc to bring up the Force Quit window so you can kill an app. I'll have to think about the rest of it though - why your keychain is losing its settings. Maybe this helps ?

Here is a link about OpenOffice. I don't have good enough excel experience to be an advocate for the OO program. I love the concept of this project; professionals and users creating software for free (you can contribute toward costs), improving it as needed, and distributing for free to everyone - just for the public good, no profits involved. I hadn't heard of it until this last fall, but it's been around for over a decade. It is an org. and not a .com! http://about.openoffice.org/index.html Here is a list of features on their most recent release. Natal, I don't think I have "Pages". I haven't ever seen it and just searched finder for it and nothing shows up. Where would it be? Here is a link that might be useful: openoffice

I found this on a forum - it was in response to someone asking to make a photo very large and square, so ignore the references to that. You can experiment and see if you can upload the larger image to photobucket. (note that I think the photo has to be in your pictures folder and not iphoto). "Mac OS X has a built-in application called Preview that is quite capable for simple edits like resizing. First, open the image in Preview (should be the default; if not, right-click the file or click the Action toolbar item (the gear icon) with the file selected and choose Open With and then Preview). Then click on the Tools menu and select Adjust Size. This will open a sheet asking for your desired resolution and dimensions. Type them in, unchecking the Scale Proportionally option if necessary to get an exactly square image. Click OK, save the file (I�d recommend saving it with a different name), and you�re done. Please note, though, that upscaling JPG files will undoubtedly result in a loss of quality�sometimes a drastic one."

It's always something..... Freddie Posts Loss, May Cut Dividend; Shares Plunge (Update8) By James Tyson Enlarge Image/Details Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Freddie Mac fell 29 percent, the biggest decline since it went public in 1988, as the second- largest U.S. mortgage-finance company posted a record loss, warning of a possible dividend cut and the need to raise capital. The worst housing slump in 16 years caused ``significant deterioration'' in the third quarter that will continue through year-end, McLean, Virginia-based Freddie Mac said in a statement. The net loss was $2.02 billion, or $3.29 a share, three times what some analysts estimated. ``It's as bad as it possibly could be,'' said Howard Shapiro, an analyst at Fox-Pitt Kelton in New York. Shapiro recommended investors sell Freddie Mac shares, reversing his opinion to hold more of the stock than is contained in benchmark indexes. Freddie Mac and the larger Washington-based Fannie Mae, created by Congress to foster American home ownership, have lost $41 billion in market value this year as mortgage defaults and foreclosures rose to record levels. The companies, which own or guarantee 40 percent of the $11.5 trillion U.S. home loan market, will have less money available for new mortgages. ``There is nothing we see right now to be more optimistic,'' Chief Financial Officer Anthony Piszel said in an interview. He told analysts on a conference call that the fourth quarter ``is not going to be pretty.'' The shares extended their slump to a fifth day, on concern that losses will continue into next year. Freddie Mac fell $10.76 to $26.74 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading and have tumbled 61 percent so far this year. Fannie Mae dropped 25 percent to $28.25 today and is down 52 percent on the year. No Optimism ``These companies have lots of problems yet to come, I don't think they really know,'' how bad the losses will get, investor Jim Rogers, chairman of New York-based Beeland Interests Inc., said in an interview today. ``I'm still short those companies.'' Fitch Ratings said it may reduce Freddie Mac's AA- preferred stock ranking. Freddie Mac had $1.2 billion in provisions for credit losses and reduced the value of assets by $3.6 billion. The third-quarter loss was almost triple the $715 million a year earlier. The fourth quarter will also prove difficult, Chief Executive Officer Richard Syron told analysts on a conference call today. A slump in the value of mortgages reduced core capital by two-thirds to $600 million more than Freddie Mac's regulatory requirements, prompting the company to seek more money. Freddie Mac's required capital level is 30 percent larger than typical as the company recovers from accounting mistakes revealed in 2003. Raising Capital The company ``almost in the immediate future'' will announce how it will increase capital, including the possibility of reducing its fourth-quarter dividend by 50...
