Can you tell us which operating system you are using? According to this previous question (http://getsatisfaction.com/bbc/topics...) Adobe claim that both Flash in a web page and the desktop version should override the screen saver when in full screen mode.

Could you be having the same problem as Scott, the poser of the previous question?

It is annoying isn't it? I get that too... iPlayer videos run in the browser using Adobe Flash. Sadly there is currently no way to tell Flash to disable the system screen saver when in full screen. Until that changes there's nothing we can do about this problem.

As a stop-gap solution, you could just lengthen the amount of time until your screen saver kicks in to an hour, which should cover most BBC programmes. Modern LCD screens are far less sensitive to a static image than their cathode ray tube predecessors and so (assuming that's what you have) the extra time spent without a screen saver is unlikely to make a difference within the operation life of the monitor.

To completely remove all album artwork you need to remove the artwork embedded in the MP3 files and also any artwork that iTunes might have downloaded automatically. You have to do this for all the files in the album - if just one track has album artwork it will show up for the entire album in coverflow.

First select all tracks in the album. Then right click and select 'Get info...'. Choose the album art tab and remove all items. Close the dialogue box and right click all the tracks again. Now choose remove album artwork.

Hopefully you will now be artwork-free!

I'm not sure about that... my card that I use for my XD card opens by default in iPhoto. I would guess it's something to do with the DCIM folder being present, but can't be sure...

Simply select the tracks and the right click -> Get Info...

Then go to Artwork and select any that you don't want and get rid of it!

Hope that helps :)

You should be able to just close iPhoto and then check Finder for your camera's mounted drive. That's how mine works! Although most of the time I just import it to iPhoto anyway. If you never import to iPhoto and want to browse the files in Finder every time, I'm pretty sure you can stop it opening in the iPhoto preferences.
