    imac g5 and dvd DL

    forgive the ignorance, but does your imac g5 (i'm assuming rev A) have DVD+R capabilty? DVD-R and +R are seperate media (assembled differently) that store information on parts of one disc that don't exist on the other disc... follow? If your drive isn't +R then the drive will likely eject...

    Hard disk - how to proceed? Part 2

    my firewire HD crapped out this past week... DW starts its thing, but loops before it can finish... This Data Rescue looks promising... glad to see it's working for you. Is it strictly download or will they send you a boot CD? (unless thats not applicable)... Will bookmark the link and...

    copy protected cd's?

    Anyone have experience with the newer copy-protected cd's... I've noticed newer cd's are starting to employ copy protection... i'm wondering if i'll have to stop buying cd's. I still buy cd's to give me the flexibility to choose my bit-rate encoding... including apple lossless when...

    Airport Express

    The whole Airport configuration process is extremely annoying and very un-Apple... I've got 2 macs annd 2 pc's hooked wirelessly to the base station hardwired into another pc/vonage/cable modem... and an airport express using both Airtunes and linking up xbox live... My HD crashed.. I...

    Security Update 2005-006

    thanks for your concern Gig... i updated through software update... so i'm guessing that Panther wouldn't seek out the Tiger update... it was probably a coincidence... was an extremely tiresome ordeal... but i had to re-install everything. the kicker is that Panther for lack of a better...

    Security Update 2005-006

    Has anybody had any system troubles after installing the latest update? Could just be a coincidence... but after doing so.. my mac won't recognize my external HD or any media inserted into the drive... so too late for Disk Warrior... i'm running 10.3.9 I'll most likely have to do a clean...

    WWDC Anti-Climax?

    If it's the years theme.. you normally mention any other progress being made during all public events, and hopefully a few new products if possible. No mention of blue-ray technology, or an increased usage of HD quicktime trailers, etc. I didn't expect him to unveil the movie download...

    imac - ok to buy just now?

    The latest iMacs were released in May... they average about 7 months between refreshes.. I've been waiting for home renovation to be completed before i buy my next mac. I was going for either the 2 or 2.3 powermac, but with the Intel announcement I'm starting to think more along the lines of...

    any way to find older order history?

    Apple themselves will have a record of it... you'll need to call customer service i guess. A few months back my sister's iMac died. She was declined Applecare service because she never activated the warrantee (how she missed it i'm not sure)... Anyway she bought both the iMac and...

    WWDC Anti-Climax?

    so much for the 'Year of HD' slogans... didn't hear anything of the sort even once... agreed that this is for developers... but apple should have introduced something... the 'iPhone' rokr from Moto is way overdue for example...

    PowerPC is dead. PowerMacs? PowerBooks?

    If you listen... Steve did refer to the Intel developer mac as Powermac when he spoke about shipping them for $999 and that he'd expect them to be returned... It was a slight 'loss for words' moment, but he did say it... and honestly I have no reason to believe that it was inappropriate... The...

    Best OS for an old eMac... Jaguar? Panther?

    Hi guys... About 2+ years ago I bought my mother an eMac for Christmas... 700 mHz G4 w/ Combo Drive... currently 756 MB Ram I was wondering what Os would best fit this system efficiently... The unit came with Jaguar... and although Panther and Tiger are superior.. I realize there is a...

    20" VS 23" Cinema Display

    check the discussion boards at the apple web site... there's a forum for displays... that's where I've heard of colorization issues with the 23's. If there's been improvement you'd best find out about it there first... As much as I like apple's beautiful design... the 23 inch is a waste of...

    Thoughts on latest PM G5 upgrades?

    Many users report really poor color due to pink and or yellow casting at different sides of the screen... unfortunately this has not gone away after numerous returns and refurbs... I've heard some say that tiger has fixed this problem... but hadn't heard much corroboration. If you need...

    Thoughts on latest PM G5 upgrades?

    keep in mind I'm in the US, so our prices may be different... I can tell you that the Dell 20" is sold here for about $499 regularly... and in some cases discounted further with limited promotions. I've heard of people getting them for a little over $400 with certain coupons... The apple is...

    is the Rev B iMac what you had hoped for?

    agreed... but with one or two minor changes, the iMac would be close enough for someone on the fence about his wants/needs. Fast enough to tinker with pro editing without the beach ball. there's nothing to complain about with the iMac, I was looking for something to latch on to as I don't...

    Inkjet Color Proofing

    Most in-house places are migrating over to the Epson Ultra-Chrome series machines.. and you can rest assured, they are not printing rgb images. Perhaps you should take a look at some of the newer models, as I've heard most of the success coming in the past few months... The iris/veris...

    Thoughts on latest PM G5 upgrades?

    It is definitely apple's pattern to cripple the ram slots and pci on the low dual... but it doesn't make it right or fair considering their inability to produce any major innovations... They did finally stop crippling the front side bus... but should have not limited the specs on the dual...

    is the Rev B iMac what you had hoped for?

    As far as I can tell it's the Radeon 9600 not the XT model... It is a really great consumer machine, but I was really hoping the top model would be a little beefier (like a DV model)... It's nearly perfect, but I really see no reason to limit the FSB to 667mhz... and the 9600 video card is...
