    Is this legal?

    Actually, their FAQ is woefully outdated. They now have a mac section. Bobw: "2.4. You do not receive printed license documentation" According to their instructions: "4.2. Instructions, Serial numbers and additional information may be stored in TXT and other file types. " This leads me to...

    MacBook Pro fan bearing

    Not that it really matters as you'd likely encounter the same shut down issue with a MacBook Pro, but I misread your post to be a MacBook. (which only has one fan.) The Mac Book Pro has two, Left and Right. It's a more extensive repair entailing removal of the LB and many other components, but...

    Anyway to show full path to current directory in the top of the Finder window?

    Use an alternate finder. Not sure if Path Finder does what you want, but you could look into alternatives for Finder. Alternatively, you could run this ( http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070416161655621 )

    MacBook Pro fan bearing

    I wouldn't stop the fan. MacBooks run extremely hot, and you'll probably encouter random shut down issues very shortly. The sensor on the CPU which tells the fan to kick on was faulty on a run of MacBooks, and nearly all of them experienced random shut downs once the CPU got too hot. The fan is...

    Troubleshooting steps I'd take Force quit finder (Relaunch) Restart computer. Disconnect from network Go to Finder/Preferences. Make sure network volumes are checked to show up in sidebar. You can try ejecting it from there if it is. Delete the com.apple.finder.plist pref file and...

    I had a stupid accident last week...

    If you're getting the "do not enter" sign (circle with line through it) follow the steps in the link below. (Though it could also be a damaged drive) Older portables do not have SMS technology (Sudden Motion Sensor) which stops the drive from spinning when it detects a sudden drop. Drives...

    iTunes not displaying properly

    By "words are unclear" I'm assuming that you mean illegible. Illegible words in standard OS X apps are usually caused by font problems. If you have a ton of fonts loaded on your system one or more could be causing a conflict with a system font (usually Helvetica, I've found) Use Font Book (if...

    eMac: Will this HD fit?

    According to my knowledgebase: "ATA is the real standard for what is widely known as IDE." Regardless of format, good luck with the HD swap. eMacs are probably one of the toughest Macs to work on. It's as if Apple meant for them to be disposable, and not really meant to be taken apart.

    Help in IP & Wireless issue

    Depending on how complex your network is, this may or may not work. Simply copy the settings you have when connected DHCP. Change it to manual. For IP Address use the same excact 1 3 segments (i.e. 192.168.1) For the last one, change the segment to something between 100-255. If someone else...

    Airport Extreme card won't even show up in System Profiler

    NOTE: Check the site to make sure the link is indeed your 17" laptop. On 17" PBooks, you have to take the top case off to get to the Airport card. If you're feeling adventurous, you can find a take apart here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G4-Al-17-Inch/Airport-Extreme/55/12 Just...

    You could try renewing DHCP lease in System Preferences. Or, depending on the size of your company switch to Manual IP set up (could wreak havoc though) if your company uses DHCP

    iBOOK monitor flickering

    I don't know if you'd want to take it in. Get a quote if possible (I know some of the places I've worked for did not give phone or 'net quotes, you had to bring it in.) Depending on the particular model of iBook, that repair can be pretty pricey. I know with PBooks, the cable isn't attached to...

    Folder icons dissapear as well as contents of the folder...

    could be something in the .ds_store file perhaps. Or, if it's only happening with that one folder, you may have a corrupt file in the directory. In addition to backing up all pertinent data on that computer, I would run a permissions repair, check to see that the permissions are correct for the...

    iBOOK monitor flickering

    Depending on the age of the iBook, there have been known issues with the cabling in the hinge getting frayed through normal usage. It could be that the hinge is pinching the cable slightly when the lid is opened at a certain angle, which could be responsible for the image on the screen flickering.

    Serious font issue

    Is there any reason YoonGothic is in your System/Library/Fonts folder? I don't recognize that as an official Apple font. Apple Gothic Li is one (or something like that) but I've never seen YoonGothic in a System folder on a clean install. Take it out of your System/Library/Fonts folder, and put...
