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...

I got an old PowerMac G4 tower from work that they were going to toss away. I want to reimage it but I do not have any monitors to hook up to it. I have an iMac and a MBP on hand. Recommendations on any console viewing applications and methods to hook up to it?

Anyone buy the Mac Heist 4 bundle? If so are you willing to part with Scrivener maybe even Mac Gourmet? If so, PM me with asking price for the download code.

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...

I am looking for a free or cheap software that is similar to a writing journal to store thoughts and ramblings. Something to allow me to throw out my thoughts of the day and allow me to look back and reflect on what I am going through. It doesn't have to have a lot of bells and whistles. The...

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.

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'm a strong advocate and follower of Mr Jobs products and was pretty good at staying up to date...that is until kids and a mortgage came along. So my tech budget was nearly sliced till nil. No big deal since my main workstation is a 7 yr old iBook G3 that out lasts all my Window friends by at...

And do we know what could be on the horizon. Mainly when is a new mini coming. I know one was last fall but would hate to buy a mini and a new one comes out the next month.

I do know how to use Google and used it to find two sync apps. However, was looking for people who may of run into the issue I have with getting my outlook cal transfered to BB since it doesn't connect to exchange using Goodlink.

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...

What would happen if I hit the Consolidate Library?

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...

Computer: iBook G3 12in OS X 10.4.1 USB: Western Digital 160Gb HD I just got this HD. I tried mounting it to my iBook and it spins and then clicks over and over. I brought it into work then and tried to mount it to various other machines and it worked. MacBook Pro - Worked iMac 333 -...

My iBook G3 of course has been around and used heavily over the last three years. The battery is lucky to hold a 20 minute charge so it stays plugged in. If I use it for say 2+ hrs of course it gets hot but a weird smoky burning smell fills the air. If I replace the battery will that eliminate...
