FOUND IT It was because I wasn't using a Dual Link DVI cable. DUH Thanks anyway :)

I've been through the display settings (on the monitor itself) and it appears that when I switch to 2560 x 1080 in the display System prefs...the monitor 'Display Settings' on the Dell itself shows an input of 1280 x 1080 Not sure how to cure this.

I've just bought a beautiful new Dell U2913UM monitor for use with my Mac Pro which has only DVI outs. The 2560 x 1080 resolution setting in the system prefs is very blurry and Dell don't issue drivers for Mac OS. To cure this, do I need to install a display port graphics card and if so...

Sorry, 10.6.8 on a 2x2.8Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro

I run a Pro Tools system on a Mac Pro and have accumulated a lot of hard drives with archived audio files on them from various projects. I'm looking to be able to find things on these shelved drives more easily. I have been simply taking screenshots of their contents and filing that but was...

I'm restoring a 10.6 MacBook Pro but have no CD and have wiped the HD. I have a boot disk but it's incompatible and cannot install the system. Command-R doesn't seem to work any ideas?

can't get to console when it happens

Hi, it's a 500Gb HD and 50Gb free. You think that's the issue?

I've read about this happening somewhere but can't find any info. My MacBook Pro screen occasionally goes blank...often when I ask it to enter expose. Cannot retrieve it, requiring a force restart. I've also noticed that I'm, spending a LOT more time waiting for apps to open (or restore)...

Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party 500Gb SSD for a 15" Macbook Pro. The Apple ones seem a tad pricey. cheers 15" 2.52 GHz Intel Core i5 10.7.3 4GB

Ahhhh...Never thought I'd say this but 'PC to the rescue'. I tried it in a Windows machine and it read it! I'll transfer the files and reformat with a mac. cheers

No, no lock. Unfortunately, I Cannot mount it. when I try, I have to force quit disk utility.

I have a 16Gig USB stick which has suddenly become unreadable. Disk Utility sees it but won't mount it and will not let me administer first aid (verify and repair disk buttons greyed out) There are a few files on there I would miss..anyone any ideas how to read the disk? cheers MacBook...

Done. Many thanks.. I love this forum

Thanks but I can't see how to delete 'my account'. The minus sign is grayed out.

I guess I'll be selling the iMac 'as is' with 10.4.11 installed and NO install disk (lost) I have the restore disk but it won't boot from it as it appears to be OS9. Just one final question then - - - Is it possible to remove the old username in accounts?. I've wiped all user info and I will...

Thanks, useful info but I'm not sure if I'd like to sell an unbootable iMac..I will keep trying. The Option key trick seems to be working but it's taking an age to boot from the dvd. Gonna leave it whirring away for an hour or two..

It's probably not worth it anyway as I only have 256Mb RAM and Leopard needs half a GIG minimum. So my questions changes somewhat...How can I restore and 'clean' the iMac for sale without the original install disks? thanks

no, it's a Mac OSX 10.5 Install Disk bought separately.

Hi, I'm trying to restore my old iMac G4 1Gb 15" to sell as it's in fine shape...but it will not boot from the (Leopard disk in the) disk drive. Is there a way I can do this with an external firewire? I've lost the original install disks too. That's why I'm trying Leopard. Suppose I could...
