i have a 32GB flash drive i used to use on both mac an PC (see my .sig for specs). one day i pulled it out of a G5 tower, forgetting to eject it first. of course i got the "device removal" warning, but this time it seems to be warranted. the drive does not show up on any desktop, mac or...

thanks for the info. i thought the black macbook only had 2 RAM slots? i already have 4GB RAM in 2 x 2GB chips; to get to 6GB i need to replace one of those 2GB chips with a single 4GB. right?

i've heard that it's now confirmed that you can swap out a 2GB DIMM for a 4GB and give a black macbook a total of 6GB of RAM. i heard this while working on a job next to someone where we were both on our laptops and having slowness issues to to the client's HUGE photoshop and illustrator...

excellent, i was about to post a Q about this and searched first finding this topic on top! best of all, it fixed it (i did have to quit and restart safari for it to work). the weird thing is, i know exactly what caused it: installing MS office 2008. :(

What I meant was there were three addreses listed: the IP, Subnet Mask, and then the Router. I definitely used the Router address. Now, I have no idea what I did but miraculously her network is back. So...thanks for the assistance!

Yes, the cable modem box goes directly to her mac via ethernet cable. Somehow this setup used to broadcast a wireless network called linksys, which no longer shows up in my Airport. I went to the Network pane several times, even before writing here, nothing that made sense to change got the...

Well I seem to have screwed myself over, can anyone help me un-screw it? I usually get online at my girlfriend's place by my Airport automatically detecting her wireless network and logging in. Only, I think she was having some issues a week ago and I probably changed something in her system...

I just got the new upgrade and it's caused a definite problem for me. I use some audio connection software and while it will transfer from the mac to the external disk (an IDE drive in a proprietary format), it won't do the reverse. I believe this was an issue even with 10.5.3. How can I go...

Wow, it really has to be that complicated? It's not just a preference I can turn off? To have to write or even just run a script to rename extensions seems ludicrous. It only does it with files of unknown extensions - if the file ends with an extension it (or the OS) understands, it leaves it...

Duplicate post, admin please delete

This is a demand not an answer. It's what I's say if I could speak to Safari. If I download split files named .001, .002, etc. that are done with HJ Split or similar, which can be rejoined in Machacha, Safari recognizes that they are pieces of a movie file and adds .mpg to the end. This...

actually i've been running 10.5.3 just fine for a few days now. but suddenly last night my picture-preview icons disappeared, i'm left with only the plain app-related icons. i hope you know what i'm talking about. i don't think i changed anything. i'm also running parallels with windows XP...

well i bought parallels and a cheap copy of windows XP home version off ebay (avoiding giving microsoft $ as much as possible). i can report that everything basically works fine. the only issue i have is that cubase and other programs need an ASIO multimedia driver, which i grabbed from...

going to london imminently, so i hope i get this answered ASAP. i want to bring my macbook (black, 2.4 GHz/4GB/250, recent purchase) to london. i was told the plugs (magsafe 60W) "do the conversion" to euro power depending on what the adaptor specs say on the side. but aren't british plugs...

when creating a partition to install windows XP, how much is enough? i plan to use this to edit music files. i know i need enough space for XP, all the apps and plugins, but do i need to allow space for the music files themselves on the same partition? or will XP recognize the OSX...

this is bad news, as I just got a black macbook with the same specs, mostly for the ability to run windows XP using sound programs. when you say sound card problems, are you talking about the standard soundcard in the macbook, a custom-installed sound card, or some kind of external sound...

i like to multitask on the computer, so i find it really annoying when an app i tell something to do forces its way to the front when i've gone to another app in the meantime. example, i may be collecting a file in indesign, and jump to safari to go to the ftp site i need to upload files to...

Right, I know that...but usually that takes so little time I would never even see that message. What I meant by "serious" was, if I get that message, I will not even get a partial page loaded. Of course becuase it hasn;t even found the host much less the page. How is that possible when it...

G4 laptop, 1.5 GHz/512 MB, OS 10.3.9 ======================== Since last week I've been experiecing sudden internet outages or extreme slowdown/hangups. For anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes, none of my net programs will find their hosts. Sometimes it begins with a page not loading 100% (as I...

i have a G4 12-inch powerbook running 10.3.9. haven't moved to tiger yet because of some annoying issues i've noticed on my work computer. bear with me because this is my first laptop and i haven't been on OSX very long (a little over a year). my question is about something which is...
