    iMac will not do anything. ANYTHING

    Check to see if there's a repair extension program of some sort from Apple. The one for the iMac G5 covered 3 years after the date of purchase. If they have one for this particular iMac, then you might still be covered. Either way, make an appointment with your nearest Apple Store and take...

    OS upgrade issue

    Out of curiousity, what kind of noises is the hard drive making? Seems to me as though the hard drive is starting to fail on you and did so during the process of the upgrade. No amount of defragging is going to resolve a failing hard drive. The good thing is that you have your data already...

    OS upgrade issue

    What you've experienced is a kernel panic. Was the Snow Leopard disc a retail version, or was it from another Mac?

    iMac will not do anything. ANYTHING

    You never did specify which iMac you have. There have been quite a number of revisions to the iMac itself since the original Bondi Blue model. I have an iMac G5 rev. B that has had it's power supply and logic board replaced twice within a span of 2 months under the then-active repair extension...

    Advanced Help?

    What are you using to run Steam? Crossover Games from CodeWeavers? AFAIK, if the game/app is not listed in the preset list in Crossover Games, then you would have to manually add it from Crossover Games itself. It should then show whatever it was that you installed via Crossover Games so that...

    mac os x restore install

    Usually Macs come shipped with the discs for the operating system that they originally shipped with. Were they not included when you purchased your Macintosh? Also, please be sure to include more specific information about your Mac so that we can point you in the right direction. Include the...

    Can someone please give me one good reason to upgrade to Snow Leopard?

    The only good reason to upgrade to something is if you see that your current OS isn't doing it for you or isn't being supported as it used to be. Aside from that, there's really no other reason. If you don't feel a need to upgrade to SL just yet, then stick with Leopard. I stuck with Tiger...

    Trying to Delete Firefox

    You won't be able to delete it if the application is still running. You'll know that the application is still running because the icon will show on the Dock with a light underneath it. Before Leopard, it used to be a black triangle that indicated the application was running. Try quitting...

    The OP has a Mac mini, but same question applies I'm sure. ;)

    ShoutCast Broadcaster for Mac?

    So long as that newcomer is not a spammer and/or is not violating the board rules, I would say that they would be very welcomed here. But unfortunately, your signature seems to fail at the former requirement. ;)

    Mac Pro - iMac Upgrade

    Personally, I would say to stick with the Mac Pro. Although the new iMac does have the Core i-Series of processors, the CPUs in your Mac Pro are quite beefy in and of themselves (being Xeons and all). Plus, you have the added ability to upgrade your Mac Pro as time passes, and the money would...

    Windows 7 on Macbook

    I believe that you might have to wait Boot Camp is updated to provide the driver support for Windows 7. I'm not sure if they've done that already, but I do remember this being the case some time ago for those that wanted Vista running on their Intel Macs.
