I appreciate your help very much, however, I am a little slow, and cautious, when going into terminal. I need to know what I should be logged in as when running each of the commands you have listed. And I don't know how to log into a different user such as root. I just typed "root" and it did...

I am major problems with permissions (or something) on my drives. Every time I want to move or delete anything I have to authenticate. I have repaired permissions and repaired the hard drive multiple times. I have purchased a new drive, done a fresh install of Snow Leopard from the disk that...

Thank you! That did it.

The entire monitor is wrong. Quicktime logo is orange. everything is negative. Is there a software fix or is it hardware? Thanks Pix PS it is 800mhz 768 RAM running10.4.11

Ok, so I am having a permissions problem. I have repaired permissions repeatedly. I have Changed Permissions on individual, problem folders. I have a backup disk that is a 2 disk raid disk. I can't remember what it's called but it is 2 2tb disks raided together so they make one big 4 tb disk...

I have a growing collection of videos in my iTunes library. Getting up around 4TB now. The problem is that if I convert something for iPod it looks terrible on my TV. If I convert something for Apple TV it will load onto the iPod but will not play on the iPod. It is very frustrating that I...

Thank you for your reply. The 2010 MBP has all ports on the same side, unlike my previous MBP. I did use an extension to get to both sides on the previous and it worked. The question is...Are the 3 ports all using the same power bus?

OK Still doesn't answer the question. Run a LOT of DVD's wore out my last internal. Would really like to be able to use and external drive.

NO, it's not the internal drive. It is just the usb powered external drive. I am not getting a low power bus warning it just doesn't work on the MBP. When tested on another computer it works fine.

OK New (to me) 2010 i7 17" Macbook pro 2.8Ghz I have an external DVDr that needs extra power (2 usb connectors) to run. It is relatively new and worked fine on my Core Duo. It does not seem to get enough power from 2 plugs on the same side of the new MBP. Are they all one bus? or is there...

Use the disk utility on the "original disk" to check the hard drive. You get to it by selecting language and going one or two steps into this install. Don't go to far. Keep watching the the top bar of the finder. As soon as you see "Utilities" up there you are far enough. Goto Utilities>Disk...
