Thank you for your time & effort.

Is this what you did?: Double click the time in your system tray. When the
Window opens, click on either the hours, minutes or seconds and they will
turn blue. Now click the up or down arrows just to the right of the time to
increase or decrease the time.

Subject: Music downloads from Rhapsody.com
I recently purchased a mp3 player, and with it, I received a one month free
trial of Rhapsody To Go program.. I'm wondering if it is safe to install
their Rhapsody program on my pc and start listening to their music. Will my
computer be infected by spyware?

First, let me offer my condolences for the parent's son. How
insensitive of me to forget to relay that. I know it doesn't mean
too much over the internet, but they're there.
I think the thing that will be most helpful would be for you to post
the mail settings here, with the exception of the actual email
address. Leave the email address off, and we'll take a look.
As far as why Entourage worked for a while and then didn't is hard
to say, there are plenty of reasons that could happen. Between the
two applications, Mail and Entourage, we should be able to get your
friend goin'.

I don't know. I will find out and write down the error message. It
probably won't be for a few days though. They are going away for a
couple of days because tomorrow would have been their son's birthday
and they don't want to be home.
Thank you and I will get back to you with the info.

We still need to know what version of Mac Operating System your
friend has. Is it a Mac OS 10 or 9 or something in between?
Can you copy the error message word for word and post it here?
Calling all Mac users :)

Here's my problem. I do not have a Mac - I have a PC, but I am
trying to help a friend who has one. Their 25 year old son died in
October and he had a new Mac Notebook. They did not have a computer
or know much about them. The son had an internet account using
cable, but he didn't have an email account from our provider. It is
the same provider that I have. I don't know what he used. So we got
them each email addresses from Wadsnet. I printed off my settings
about incoming and outgoing servers, etc. from my computer.
There was an Entourage mail program on his computer. So I set up
accounts for each of them. We were able to send and receive mail.
I sent from her account to his, so we could see if it worked. It
did. But then something happened and I don't know what it was. We
were able to send mail, but not receive. When I clicked on send and
receive, an error message came up. I called the internet provider
and he said everything was set up right and I sent him a test
message. He got it and replied. We couldn't receive it. But I
went to the web page for our internet and it was on her web mail. So
the guy said everything on the provider's end is working since we
can send and receive on web mail and he said he didn't have any
experience with a Mac. So I called Apple support and a man tried to
help me. We were going to check the setup. But when I told him we
were using Entourage, he said that was th e problem because it was a
Microsoft product. He tried to help me set up a mail program with
the mail icon on the bottom of the screen. We went through all the
steps for a POP account, but when we got to the outgoing server and
I put in smtp.wadsnet.com, we got an error message that said if we
continue, we may not be able to receive mail. So I canceled out of
the program. The Apple guy said something was wrong with our
settings, but I know they are right or else we couldn't send or
receive from web mail. I'm sorry this is so long. My question is
why did the Entourage both send and receive, but now it only sends?
Thanks for your help.

I think there is at least one Mac user here. But there's no harm in
posting your problem here. Just mention what Mac OS version and
which Mac computer you are using, Nancy.

HP dumps iTunes, chooses Real's Rhapsody
http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1441
By AppleInsider Staff
Published: 02:00 PM EST
After several years of distributing Apple Computer's iTunes software with
its new PCs, Hewlett-Packard is shifting its allegiances to rival
RealNetworks' Rhapsody music service, reports CNet News.com.
The move -- which will likely be announced on Thursday -- has been
expected ever since HP decided last summer to stop distributing HP-branded
iPod music players.
"Rhapsody will now be the default music-playing software on HP's new PCs
and laptops, and beginning in spring 2006, HP customers will get a free
30-day trial subscription to RealNetworks' music subscription service,"
CNet said. <END OF ARTICLE>
BTW, what is the best audio quality you can buy via Rhapsody compared to
that 128K on iTunes? I just like to make a brief comment about all this
DRM-ing. Two things that come to mind:
- XM-radio capture.
- Tivo-type recorders.
Allow me to add JetAudio.
The cat is out of the bag, it's not going back in. Copying will only get
easier, not harder. There is no way for DRM to succeed. It can even give
their makers problems. Just ask Sony :)
Every device that "plays" DRM'ed media OUTPUTS IT IN SOME SORT OF ANALOG
FASHION. So someone with a little ingenuity just captures the output of the
sound card, or the video card or whatever final display, and copies it.
Buh-bye DRM.
