    LAN SPEED (Windows-to-Mac=Fast/Mac-to-Mac=Slow)

    Got the same machine but mine is running slow seemingly since my update to Snow Leopard. However, part of the problem may be related to two things: 1. A 7200RPM hard drive. This is a known issue. I know I sent mine back to Apple (within the 1-year warranty) and they replaced it because it was...

    LAN SPEED (Windows-to-Mac=Fast/Mac-to-Mac=Slow)

    I've scoured the Web and this board for a solution to this problem and as of yet have come up with nothing. THE PROBLEM: For some odd reason which I am unable to resolve through my own exhaustive efforts, I can copy across the LAN a large file like a 1G-to-2G movie file from a Windows...

    Slowly Losing Disk Space

    Interestingly enough, I also discovered that my iTunes was slowly eating away disk space, but it was something I thought I had set up properly. I subscribe to a lot of tech podcast shows like GeekBrief, TekZilla, HD Nation and Cranky Geeks--to mention a few. What I didn't know is that my...

    Slowly Losing Disk Space

    You know, interestingly enough, I've noticed the very same thing. I wasn't looking for it but the fact that I noticed it and now somebody else has, I'm just as curious and baffled. I've never seen this happen on this scale before while running practically nothing that could be attributed to this...

    Missing the little round eject buttons in the Leopard sidebar

    Yeah, okay, this is strange actually. If I mount a drive from my old Power Mac G4, the eject symbol shows up. If I mount a drive from my Dell, the eject shows up. However, when I mount a drive from my MacBook Pro, no eject button. Very odd indeed. All the mounted drives show up on the desktop...

    Missing the little round eject buttons in the Leopard sidebar

    This is a strange one I can't seem to fix by deleting preferences or anything. On a ''normal'' Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, in the ''Shared'' part of the Finder sidebar, when you mount a drive a little round gray eject button appears beside it. On one single account on my Mac running...
