Thanks. So, I bought an EVGA GeForce 8400 GS PCI-E 2.0 1GB DDR3 video card and put it in the system. I connected it to a test LCD monitor I have and got no video signal at all. :( So, I'm going to try on of these cards: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 Since I'm getting the...

So, a friend of mine asked me to look at her friend's MacPro. It's a 2008 MacPro 3,1: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/stats/mac-pro-eight-core-2.8-2008-specs.html Anyway, according to the system owner, the problem started where he would be using the system (it's running...

I'm helping a friend get her 13" MacBook ready to sell. It's got OS X 10.5.8 installed on it. I did some searching here and found this thread: http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/299154-hod-do-i-clear-all-personal-user-files.html I like Mikuro's idea in the last post of...

So, I'm planning a more automated backup strategy for 5 Macs, all but one of which are running Mac OS X 10.5. One is running OS X 10.6. I was about to get a 1TB Time Capsule and use Time Machine but now I'm not so sure about this. Three iMacs each have only one user account with data to...

So, my friend has a 13" MacBook that crashed recently. He had been getting frequent occurrences of the "beach ball" while using it and at one point, when he turned it on he got the gray screen with the question mark. Now, when he boots it up, he gets nothing. I've removed the hard drive and...

Thanks for the suggest!ion I downloaded the trial and ran it and it found some things: 105 printer driver files had incorrect file permissions An old cupsd.conf file had been detected The cupsd.conf file needed to be updated After correcting those things and doing my AsanteTalk...

Yep, I do realize I was being vague with regard to the particular hardware components involved. Given I posted the message without having the system in front of me, I was going by memory as best as I could. Additionally, the fact that both printers not being able to be printed to at the same...

So, a friend of mine has a MacBook Pro running Leopard (10.5.x, I forget the actual release) and she's been experiencing an occasional printing problem. She has an old Apple LaserWriter that she prints to using an Asante box which connects to her LAN. She also has a HP or Epson (I forget...

Has anyone here used iLovePhotos? If you have, what did you think? Do you still use it? Did you like it better than iPhoto? Thanks! Peace...

Great! Thanks! :) Peace...

I ran a software update on an iMac running OS X 10.5.8 today and it downloaded an update to the Apple Remote Desktop client. This machine was upgraded from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 and the Apple Remote Desktop client was never installed, nor can I find an icon to run it in the Applications or...

Well, I've got the OS X and Windows partitions moved to the new drive but I haven't tried to fully boot from it yet. I ended up doing this: Connected 250GB HDD via external USB enclosure I used Disk Utility to create two partitions on the 250GB drive, sized the way I want I used Carbon...

Thanks for the valuable piece of information! :) I'll be sure to keep that in mind when considering purchases. Peace...

I'm basically in the same boat as this person in that I need to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5. In my case, I need to upgrade a Mac-mini and two iMacs. I'm scouring the web for legal copies of OS X 10.5 I can purchase and I've been finding upgrade DVDs being sold in addition to full...

So, I'm helping someone who created a site in iWeb make some changes and I'm finding it very difficult to do using iWeb. Considering I've never really used it before, I'm sure my lack of knowledge is a huge obstacle. :D Can someone direct me to a good iWeb tutorial? Is it possible to see...

I'm actually helping someone with similar issues. iWeb can generate some "interesting" HTML, to say the least. :) In our case, absolute positioning was being used to place some images on a page. The images ended up over lapping in some browsers and editing the text (outside of iWeb) to...

Well, I picked up a used one of these KVM switches and it seems to be working very well so far! I got it for around $50 shipped AND it included two extra cables! :) So far, so good. :) Peace...

Thanks for the info! :) I've never used Time Machine before but I do know it's a backup tool. You mention restoring data from the Time Machine backup. Would I configure Time Machine to backup to some external drive or something so after re-installing OS X, I could restore it...

So, we recently got a Mac-mini with Mac OS X 10.5 and Windows XP both installed. Boot Camp is used to switch between the two OSes. The Mac-mini has a 60GB HDD in it, that is basically split in half. 30GB was reserved for Mac OS X and 30GB for Windows XP. What I want to do is replace the...

Yep, I did this the other day after moving a FAT32 partition to a larger hard drive. It worked perfectly! :) Peace...
