    1TB HD for backup on Macs and Pcs

    There is a FREE program out there for Windows that allows for PC's to access Macintosh drives. I'm on vacation right now, and don't have access to my computer, but I downloaded it for my used Windows PC I recently purchased. The program was available on VersionTracker.com.

    New Mac Mini?

    Regarding speed differences between a Mac Mini and a PowerMac G5 2.0 GHz, the PowerMac G5 will win on the speed. I already asked an IT guy at work if getting a decked-out Mac Mini would trounce my current dual 2.7 GHz G5, he said 'no way.' There are more than just raw GHz numbers when...

    iTunes 8 botched my purchased items from iTunes store

    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the situation upon upgrading to iTunes 8 that their entire purchased iTunes library is completely inaccessible. iTunes 8 asks for my login and password, then accesses the iTunes Music Store, informs me that 'this computer is already authorized', and...

    Should I buy an iPod Touch for Google Maps?

    Depending on which city you are in, you my be able to tap into wireless networks around you. For instance, when I travel to New York City or Boston, I routinely can get a wireless internet connection, especially in areas where residential and businesses of interest are located. And if you go...

    App is non functional from botched wireless download from App store

    I downloaded the New York Times App from the Apple App store wirelessly and it stalled and had to initiate another download. Now my icons behave strangely and there appears to be two missing icons - spaces for icons where icons cannot be placed. Is there anyway of correcting this issue...

    Everything the iPhone Can't Do, Let's Talk!

    The iPhone/iPod Touch is/has become similar in useability for convenience and hackable as the Hewlett-Packard HP 48 calculator. The HP 48 could be used as personal information manager - it had a contact list and appointment calendar with alarms. It also used both a serial and infra red ports...

    iPod Touch is too cool for traveling.

    The iPod Touch is a great tool for traveling and worthy companion to a Garmin GPS unit. Recently while traveling to New York City to see some Broadway shows, we tried to locate a Jamba Juice fruit smoothie that we knew was located near the parking lot for our car. The Garmin could not locate...

    Unboxing photos of "brand-new" Apple IIc!

    That's really nice to come across an Apple computer that old and has never been unboxed until recently. Interesting to note though is that the iPod Touch is probably more powerful and versatile than the Apple II platform.

    iPod Touch: An iPod & Computer In Your Pocket?

    Has anyone downloaded and applied the Apple software update (1.1.3) to their iPod Touch? The new apps are great! With Mail, Notes, GoogleMaps, Weather, and Stocks, the iPod Touch is nearly complete. I would like a few favorite Widgets to put on it, like Gas, to locate the lowest priced...

    post-MacWorld laptop purchase decisions...

    Consider the peripherals you currently own or will need in the future. For example, I have a significant investment in FireWire hard drives. The lack of FireWire on the new MacBook Air definitely dissuades me from purchasing one. Go with the hardware that will meet your needs a few years from...

    iPod Touch: An iPod & Computer In Your Pocket?

    Thank you Doug. I just noticed that the newer iPod ear buds don't sound as full and warm as the ear buds from my 4th generation iPod. I don't know if that's because I use the spongy covers that came with them, but the newer iPod ear buds sound 'tinny'. Not cool for an audiophile! I guess I...

    iPod Touch: An iPod & Computer In Your Pocket?

    OK, I have version 1.1.1, and I'm really interested in using my iPod Touch as a PDA. Getting as close to an iPhone without the contract would be nice. After playing with an iPhone for a while, the Internet simply was too slow. Do you have links for the iPod Touch hacks? Thank you Thank you...

    Everything the iPhone Can't Do, Let's Talk!

    You're a teenager, right? I thought that this thread was serious. In the professional arena in general, and as a pharmaceutical scientist, I have to continually work creatively to maximize my time and efficiency for working SMARTER to KEEP my job when job cuts come every 3 to 5 years due to...

    Everything the iPhone Can't Do, Let's Talk!

    OK, now I'll take my turn and chime in... The iPhone is a wonderful product, however, the features it lacks and which I need are compelling enough for me not to purchase one until they are met: 1. GPS must be included - when I call 911 for an emergency, I want to be found NOW!!! My Motorola...

    Has anyone successfully used an HDTV as a monitor? I'm looking into purchasing my first HDTV and would like to use it as a monitor in addition to watching HDTV. Any recommendations for cables, television brands, advice?... I found a nice Philips 37 inch HDTV with an HDMI port at BJ's...
