3 requests for assistance

[C. Jackson Williams]

Lurkers like me should feel privileged to log one request; I apologize 
in advance for abusing your hospitality.

I have a 600 mhz icebook with the RAM maxed out. I recently performed a 
clean install of Panther, which gave rise to two issue. I created a 
third by trying to tweak the menu bar. Any assistance lent on any or 
all problems would be greatly appreciated.

1) Before wiping my my hard drive clean, I backed many of my files on 
iDisk. I've had second thoughts about reloading all of them now that I 
have a tidy hard drive again. I was able to trash a number of the files 
stored on iDisk. Others, though, won't budge; the error message says 
that I don't sufficient privileges to trash them. Is there a way to 
repair permissions on iDisk?

2) I also backed up on CDs a bunch of songs that I had purchased from 
iTunes. When I reloaded them, I discovered that the songs, but none of 
the accompanying information about the songs, were saved on the CDs. I 
believe that I have a playlist saved on my iDisk. Is there a way to 
view a saved playlist?

3) Finally, I followed the instructions (though evidently not to a T) 
for adding a menu icon to my menu bar. I "navigated" to 
System>Librabry>CoreServices>MenuExtras. found the eject item, tried to 
drag it to the menu bar, and succeeded only in dragging it to the 
desktop, where it made a duplicate of itself. I trashed the duplicate, 
and stupidly emptied the trash. Now none of the standard eject moves 
work. Further, my iBook no longer sees my CD drive. A file named 
"Eject.menu" still resides in the folder. Is there a fix for this short 
of reintalling Panther?

Thank you.
