Hi. I have a Toshiba Canvio External 1TB HD which uses a USB 3.0 Micro B connector. From my experience, this is the worst connector ever invented. I barely touch the cable and it disconnects the HD. It's practically useless unless I have my laptop sitting on a table where the HD won't get...

Hey all, I've tried downloading the iPod 3.0 Software update and every time I pause the download or lose internet connection for a second, the entire download restarts from zero. Can I prevent this from happening? I've searched my mac for the actual file that is being downloaded but I...

So the internal microphone on my 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro just decided to stop working a few months ago. In the sound tab of system preferences I get nothing. Although when Skyping with it, the person I'm talking to says they can hear some kind of noise when I tap the left speaker...

That is precisely the reason I am on here asking. I'm not just some dude that wants japanese tats. I am looking for someone who can accurately translate the sentences into any form of japanese, be it kanji, hiragana, or katakana. I'd prefer kanji because it uses less characters. This is going to...

So I want to get a saying tattooed on my arm but I want the saying in Japanese. Does anyone know how to speak Japanese and can translate into kanji characters? The saying is, "My honor is my life. Take honor from me, and my life is done." Can anyone do this for me? Thanks! -Mike

Perhaps the detail was not at full, but at least at medium. It looked pretty good back in the day. I had full shadows enabled and fairly high texture rendering. Now it is choking when the graphics are all the way down. Like I said, after I upgraded to 10.3.9, I was able to run the game at good...

Mmmm. Well it doesn't sound like abnormal clicking. Perhaps "clicking" isn't the proper sound. It is the sound that the hard drive makes when it is working but in short, predictable bursts. It is a repeating patern so it seems to be like it's a software error, not a random hardware malfunction...

Okay well I will do that as soon as it finishes clicking itself to death. It's still sitting at the 90% or 95% mark on the verification process.

Okay update. Once logged into the computer under the admin account, the computer seemed to opperate fine. I went in to verify the permissions and at about 90% through the process, the computer stops and does the clicking sound again. Is it perhaps a part of my disk that is corrupted or...

I know this is long but please read. I really need help. I have had my iMac G4 since April of 2004 and have had few problems with it. Well now I have a big one. About two months ago, the modem suddenly stopped working. Every time I'd try to connect, I'd get an error saying "Could not connect...

I've had this problem before in this thread. Basically, Command and Conquer Generals does not play smoothly at all. As soon as it gets to the menu screen, it is in major lag mode. Lagtastic as I, being a nerd, like to say. The video quality is on high but I used to run the game like that no...

I really need to know if an authorized reseller is able to fix my iPod. Time's getting close to running out on my warranty and I really don't feel like buying a new one. Someone out there has got to know. Thanks guys. Also, would BestBuy even be a possibility. They do sell iPods but so do a...

Well thank you all for the help. MisterMe and ksv, I have given it considerable thought on whether or not I should use a background sound with my page and I decided that it wouldn't be such a bad idea since the sound is pretty short and not too annoying. Don't get me wrong, I've run into many...

Hey everybody. I was wondering why Safari doesn't support the <bgsound...> tag when using .wav files. It works for MIDI files but I get nothing when loading pages containing the tag with Waves. Is this just a feature not supported by Safari or is there something I can do about it? The tag I...

Well I need to get my iPod Mini fixed. I had posted a thread about it on here before. I need to know if I can take my iPod to any authorized Apple retailer such as CompUSA. The nearest Apple store is almost an hour away and CompUSA is only 15 minutes. Will CompUSA be able to fix my iPod (or...
