You can make iTunes the default app when inserting an empty disc by changing that in the CD&DVD preference pane. (Just choose iTunes from the "when you insert a blank CD" pop-up)

You can also quit exaggerating the seriousness of your problems and try posting threads with descriptive subject lines like the forum rules say. No one likes to scan down the list of threads and see ones just titled 'Help' or 'I have problems' or 'Question'. That could be almost every thread here.

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

Just format your computer and get over it

something is seriously wrong. But you can edit the topic (me believes) by editing your first post. Might get more help that way.

Good luck

Are you trying to copy/paste between apps or in the same app?

Have you tried doing it via the menu or just using the keyboard? Try both in the same app and see if both are broken.

Try running the 'Repair Disk Permissions'. It sounds like the PBS is not running. As for the other problems, the above may fix them as well.

Reformat your HD with OS X 10.2 again.

Or just repair disk permissions, found in the Disk Utility application.
