    computer not letting me login

    If you don't have a bootable copy of your system before it messed up which you can boot from and use to replace your defunct system, then I'd suggest booting from your installation DVD and reinstalling OSX. (Insert DVD and restart while holding the "C' key, or select the DVD to start up from...

    A similar problem has occurred several times with my MacPro. I'm the only user and have never had to login at startup...however, several times since getting my MacPro last year, and for no apparent reason, when I try to do an operation requiring administration password, my user name and password...

    Inquiry re: duplicating VM on Parallels with WinXP

    I would do it this way. • The VM is in the user's Documents folder inside the Parallels folder. • I would make a duplicate of the original XP folder located there and leave it in the Parallels folder. • Then launch the Parallels Desktop application. • In the Parallels...

    Parallels - moving to another machine

    I would connect the two machines in Target Disk Mode and use Migration Assistant in the new machine to move everything from the old machine to the new. Wouldn't that work? Matt

    For I have tasted the fruit (Problem: Vista & Boot Camp)

    You're correct. However there are two Boot Camp 2.1 for Vista versions. One for the 64-bit Vista and another for the 32-bit Vista. Sure you have the right one?

    xp installation disc unrecognized

    You didn't state whether you are using Boot Camp or Parallels or VMware. Naturally you need to be using one or the other for WindowsXP to be recognized and to be installed.

    For I have tasted the fruit (Problem: Vista & Boot Camp)

    The Book Camp version (Beta 1.2) before the Leopard version (1.4) required you to burn a drivers CD using Book Camp Assistant. Then after installing Windows OS and booting from Windows, the CD you made is used to install the drivers. This also required only 32-bit versions of Windows. I'm...

    Boot Camp not letting me into WinXP

    It is normal (at least on my MacPro) for pointer to freeze when restarting with option held and selecting a startup system...are you waiting for the XP to startup, or do you force quit before giving enough time? If you want to start over, run the BootCamp program again and you will see an...

    If it's in PAL format, it will need to be converted to NTSC to play on most US DVD players. Ffmpegx can do this conversion. Matt

    reinstall OS X after linux install

    If you boot from the install CD, then (from the Menu Bar) open Disk Utility. It should see the HD, which can then be reformatted (erased) and set back to your choice. My experience with Ubuntu left an unpleasant taste in my mouth...I tried to install it on a partition but no luck...it could...

    Creating a boot disc?

    Won't work that way. BootCD can make a bootable CD, but not from Tiger versions later than 10.4.2, that will work with TechTool Pro and DiskWarrior...don't know about AntiVirus. The only BootCD Tiger version, build 8211, is a Beta and the developer stopped working on a version that would work...

    Sparrowhawk, If you have Photoshop Elements, it is fairly simple to do what you want. Start by opening Elements and click on 'New' under File in the MenuBar. In the setup window, make the new document the size you want--8.5x11, 8x10 or whatever. It is important to make the resolution of...

    VHS to Mac Update please

    The Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge worked well for me. Using the output from a VCR connected through the bridge and directly into iMovie makes editing and burning to CD's or DVD's fairly simple. I got my bridge a couple years ago for ~$160. Its retail price is higher now, but it can be found on...
