    Erase and install clean OS X?

    Hiya: How do I do one of those 35-pass erase things and reinstall OS X on a Mac Mini? When I go to reinstall, it doesn't give me that option to erase. Any help would be appreciated, thanks, - Jon K.

    Stupid question - How do I "cut" files?

    Hiya: Stupid question, but how do I "cut" not "copy" files in Tiger / Finder? I've owned my Mac going on a year now, and have yet to see "cut" light up, it's always greyed out. Sounds pretty simple, am I missing something here? Command+X ain't working either. Sorry if this is a stupid /...

    Any good programs like Picasa for Mac?

    I;'m not too familair with Picassa, you might like Kavasoft's Shoebox app. It's not too bad, but it's kinda slow (about as fast as iPhoto), and for the features it does have $29 is a bit steep. I'm an ACDSee fan (Mac version no longer supported, I guess). Shoebox is the only app I found...

    Does Apple do holiday deals?

    Sorry if this question doesn't belong here. I wasn't sure which forum would be appropriate for this kinda question. My buddy wants to buy a Mac but is waiting for some kind of "After Christmas Sale". My question is, does Apple typically do this on their website? Or, maybe some retailers...

    Longhorn Vista Pics & Movie

    You can't be serious. I'll agree I'm not too impressed with what it looks like right now, but it certainly isn't getting worse. Besides, if history is any indiction, I recall the Whistler Beta 1 having a watercolor theme before it got the axe in Beta 2 with the release of the luna theme (the...

    right click of command click is slow

    Not that it matters, but I have the same issue. I'm using OSX 10.4.2 on my Mac Mini 1.25 GHz with only 256 MB RAM installed, so I was blaming it on low memory / video memory. Guess not though?

    Why did you buy your Mac ?

    I'm glad the title of this topic wasn't "why did you *switch* to Mac, because that would leave people like me out. I'm a practical, imtermediate-level computer user with a need for a computer that's fun to use, fairly crash-free, speedy, and adjustable. I'm an artist (hobbyist), so I use...

    PC's too expensive, Intel copying

    I wouldn't say Mac Mini is the least expensive machine out there... Dell is offering a PC for $299 that includes a lot more than the Mac Mini. But, I do agree that making a smaller PC kind of defeats the purpose of owning a PC, upgradability. Though it goes without saying the general...

    Saving files with comments for Spotlight (?)

    Hiya: I'm not really sure where to ask this at: I'm trying to figure out how to save files with Finder comments (for Spotlight) on-the-fly. Like for example... if I'm browsing a website and want to save an image, is there an easy way to add comments to it without having to search and...

    What are Apple's top 5 current biggest mistakes?

    Two button mouse is probably my biggest gripe. I have one, but it doesn't offer the same functionality as in Windows... which right click does a whole lot more. i.e. in the Spotlight search results, you can't right-click and copy or cut. In fact you can't even right-click :rolleyes: Yeah I...

    How would you rate Tiger?

    8 of 10 This is my first experience with a Mac, so it's like a whole new world to me. It's been pleasurable so far, to say the least. My favorite thing in OSX Tiger is the look and feel of it, its stability, and ease of installation (hardware, programs, etc). My biggest gripe is I'm...

    iTunes 4.8?

    *sigh* As much as I like iTunes, I have to wonder why there's still no MP3Pro support. iTunes 4.9? :)

    Networkin': Mac Mini and PC - will it work?

    Hiya: I felt the need to splurge today, and bought a D-Link DI-604 Ethernet Broadband Router. I dunno why I did, but I did, and nonethless I'd like to make it work ;) I have a Mac Mini (Running OSX 10.4) and a Windows PC (Running Windows XP SP2). I'd like to share files between them...
