    Macbookpro8,3 Battery Questions

    Is there any recommendation for a cheaper one? My neighbor's battery expanded and wants to get a new one. He is not much of a computer user and usually uses ac power. I see a bunch of under $60 batteries but I can't find any reviews on them. I did find one with a one year warranty...

    Recommendation on Journal/Writing Software

    I use TextWrangler for a lot of my normal note taking needs. I was originally looking for more of a journal/diary. However, I am more than capable of following a naming schema on my txt files (date_journalname_etc) and saving them in a specific directory to be synced. No true need for an all...

    Question on initializing iPad

    So it looks like my iPad is getting here 2 days before the iMac. My question is if I start using the iPad and downloading apps, will it cause any issues when I plug it into the iMac at a later date? I already have an iTunes account.

    Upgrading systems, questions on migration

    I've been solely using a G3 iBook since 2003 900mhz and finally bit the bullet and I am upgrading to the new low end mac. Big jump. It's like going from the beginning of the stone age to the end of the iron age. I don't think I am going to go through the migration assistant built into the...

    I just got a BB Storm from work. However, it can not hook up to our exchange server. Reasons unknown. I'm grateful because I don't want to deal with the email 24/7. However, I am wishing to get the Outlook Calendar events or certain ones to my BB or at least to my iCal to get to the BB...

    iTunes Destination Folder Reverts to Default

    Recently I bought a WD UBB HD to store my music on. I've moved everything over and works great. However, I noticed one night after ripping some of my CDs that they were going back to the default iTunes folder. I'm suspecting that this may be happening if I open iTunes before the HD mounts. Is...
