    red/green blotchy jpeg display

    well, I think you have it - a new post by someone else on the Apple forums pointed to MacFixit and actually had the links. Unfortunately they are behind the paid subscriber wall. My sub expired and I'm not anxious to shell out 25 bucks especially if there's no assurance it will work and I...

    red/green blotchy jpeg display

    it's not a profile problem - tried that many times. I just did a search of Apple and apparently those old posts are gone and nothing in the KB. But interetingly enough there was a brand new post from a new Mini owner with the same problem. sure nuff - he bought the Mini to use with his PC...

    red/green blotchy jpeg display

    don't really know if this is hardware or OS (suspect maybe combination) so I'll start here. All of my iPhoto (ver 2) pix are displaying in a very ugly over-saturated combination of greens and reds. Preview shows the same, but not on everything. GraphicConverter shows most JPEGs correctly, but...

    Need some suggestions for money management apps...

    Still using Q2004 for now, but in some respects MD does the online banking better than Quicken. Intuit screwed up the download formats a couple years ago and many banks/brokers no longer support downloads to the Mac. Your bank may be one of them so check very carefully first. MD works with...

    Quicksilver speaker hiss

    hiss, buzz, maybe a little of both. Not all that loud, but it's there. tap the mute once and it's gone, 2nd time to turn sound back on, sans noise. until next sleep wakeup, then do it again - never fails. as for the modem, I'm on cable. I don't think I've ever even used the modem...

    Quicken and multiple users

    I'd be real careful here - Quicken is not made to do this. Definitely play around with a "test" version for a while. I use the Windoze version and tried it once with that. It appeared to work, but after a while I started to notice little things like reminders not clearing on both machines...

    Virtual PC on the cheap...

    VPC 5 is the only option for OSX. For earlier versions of VPC you must boot directly into Classic. Win95 is faster than 98, which is faster than Win2k, and so on - just like you'd find on Intel of comparable speed. The earlier post is correct in that Win95/VPC doesn't support USB. (even...

    Quicksilver speaker hiss

    I dunno. There is obviously an issue with audio peripherals being electrically isolated and all, which first turned up in the Quicksilver model, but I think there is something else going on that may of may not be related. I've noticed a few posts here and elsewhere from non-Quicksilver owners...

    Setting up OSX for the Internet

    well, I think there were 3 questions there, soo.. There is a long answer and short for DHCP, so I'll go with the short. It stands for "Dynamic Host Control Protocol." The key is the word "dynamic", which means that IP addresses are assigned on an as-needed basis, or "dynamically." Which...

    Setting up OSX for the Internet

    oops - I may have spoke too soon - 10.1 just lost its IP. As I went to my mail to check out Scott's post, I got the old error about not finding the host (in this case macosx.com). Checked the Network control panel and sure enough - garbage for the IP. I was able to get it to reset and get a...

    Setting up OSX for the Internet

    don't know if jerryww is still checking this, but the problem could very well have been his DHCP, assuming that is how he's getting his IP. If this is in fact the issue, he'll be coming back! I've found - confirmed on several other boards - that Apple's DHCP implementation is flaky at times...

    DP 450, major problems, need help and advice badly!

    one item we need to focus on here, I think, that is key - BOTH drives are not visible, and it happened at the same time. That pretty much rules out any help from Norton or even Disktools. and it's very doubtful that a mechanical failure would hit both at the same time, so don't start beating...

    Browserwar turnaround?

    .dev.lqd --- you aren't by any chance running a dual processor? don't know about Mozilla, but I don't believe 6.1 will work. Wouldn't on mine, and I think I recall a post on this somewhere else. anybody else see this?
