HP inkjets do not print older AppleWorks files in 6.2.1? Jack Florence writes: "I know of several instances where HP inkjet printers (800/900 series) have been unable to print older data files after updating to Mac OS 10.1 and AppleWorks 6.2.1. The only workaround we have found is to copy/paste the contents of the old file to a new document."
Ethernet port always awake? A reader writes: "I noticed after upgrading to OS X 10.1 that my Ethernet port doesn't shut off when I put my computer to sleep. I use a Titanium PowerBook G4 connected to a hub that connects to my cable modem. Under OS X 10.0.4, the hub's light for my Ethernet connection would go off when I put my PowerBook to sleep. But with OS X 10.1, the light stays on, in fact, it even indicates that there is activity going on."
iTunes CD creation and source files on an NT4 server Jason Snyder writes: "MP3 files that are stored on a NT4 server cannot be burned to CD audio using iTunes. The strange thing is that the files play back from the server just fine. It is only when I go to burn them that iTunes balks. When I move the files to my local drive first, they can be burned to an audio CD just fine. It may be a problem with Apple's implementation of SMB/CIFS."
