Basically everything stored in your phone will be transfered to your MB, contacts to address book, appointments to iCal ect.

Basically backs up your phone information.

Hey thanks man. I think i read ur post on how
to do it when u just wrote it out like 3 posts before mine lol. But i
still havent figured out why my icons wont show up for certain folders.
If i have something in a folder like my documents folder, itll show up
as the blue default folder, but if the folder is empty, my icon will
show. Do you know how to fix that? thanks.



Just download Candybar it is the easiest way to change icons

Music wise? For individual files I use Limewire, although I don't use it often, I mostly download music off of blogs and things like that.

Video wise I use torrents.

yeah, for music. I get most of my stuff the same way, blogs like HHU and YHTN But I use it here and there for certain songs that'll come up...I heardLimewire isn't the best thing to use though.

I probably download a song off Limewire ever 3 months or so, just when I need to listen to something(that music fix).

Its cool I own a N64 and any game I would download I have a physical copy of. It is legal to have emulators and roms on your computer as long as you own aphysical copy of the emulator and rom.

drag it to the trash, or simply re-drag it to your dock. Mac's make everything reallllly simple to do.

They're called drawers. Usually .app, but aren't applications. Search Deviantart/google "drawers stacks." Then just drag them into any stackyou want.

I dl'd the drawers but for some reason i don't see any items behind the drawers. it's just the drawer itself on the dock.
