    The iPhone

    1) needs WiFi 2) yes 3) yes 4) syncs with Mail.app 5) well, you record your voice, can play/scrub/delete and syncs to iTunes 6) I have no idea how a modern BlackBerry fares, but synching calendars, contacts and backing up via iCloud is great. The greatest thing imho about the iPhone is how it...

    Merge and remove user accounts?

    If you have - and keep - the 320 GB drive with everything installed as was, the steps are easier, assuming that she doesn't need anything from _your_ account: 0.) Make the secondary account an admin account as well. 1.) Install 120 GB drive internally, connect 320 GB drive externally. 2.)...

    Remove all mac effects

    It works in 10.7. Done that ever since they came out with that stupid 3D look in 10.5, but I still like my Dock at the bottom. ;)

    Save Paper : Show a dialogue confirming a print job

    I guess I would... Stage an intervention. Discuss this with your whole family. Explain why it is a problem for you. He has to understand that it is a problem in order to become part of the solution. Maybe a psychologist can be of help? If he doesn't get around to see that he's causing...

    Why Doesn't Apple Make 11-Inch MacBook Air w/Backlit Keyboard?

    I sold my previous 11" model and bought the new one. Battery life isn't any worse. More than the keyboard, that's about display brightness and processor useage, I'd say, and AFAIK, the Core i5 processor can throttle down quite a bit, so it doesn't use that much battery at all. Sorry EDCC for...

    Why Doesn't Apple Make 11-Inch MacBook Air w/Backlit Keyboard?

    The older 11" is late 2010, not early 2011.

    MAC OS X LION Install Problem. Please HELP!

    jbarley: Hope that's sarcasm. No links to warez here on macosx.com. amadhaterlaughs: Even if your Lion installation stopped dead, you should still be able to boot from your original installation DVD or Snow Leopard DVD and _partition_ your drive. Erasing it might not be enough, because Lion...

    retrieve files from an old macintosh

    If you happen to have an FTP client on the machine, you can upload the files to another machine running an FTP server in the same network. You can find Fetch 4.0.3 for system 7 and upwards here: http://fetchsoftworks.com/fetch/download/

    Can I format and reinstall my mac?

    (Sorry Whitehill, I loaded the thread earlier and didn't see your post until I submitted mine.) If you want to format and reinstall, simply insert the first of the two DVDs that came with your Mac and hold down the "c" key while starting the computer until the Apple appears on screen. As soon...

    Lion via App Store

    Scott probably meant Lion. However, such a partition doesn't solve "everything", because if the hard drive's hosed, you'll still need a bootable device, so I'd still burn that DVD-R.

    Cannot completely remove program. HELP!

    Ask its developer. The direct way could lead you to success. :)

    What's the Average Range for Fan Speed in 11" MacBook Air?

    I go the dual way on my MacBook Air. Not installing Flash, but if a site requires it, I use Chrome, which has its own Flash plugin built-in. This way, visiting a site with Safari tells the server that I actually don't HAVE Flash, and sometimes offers a variant of the page in HTML/CSS. If the...

    How do I create an ISO disc which can be read by Windows 7

    I wouldn't even waste a CD-R for the AVG. Just drop that .exe-file on a USB memory stick, insert that to the PC and run the installer .exe-file from there.

    Lion via App Store

    Nope. The installer _is_ quite a bit smaller but can be used for clean installing a machine. There's only really *ONE* big trouble I foresee: People who originally planned not to upgrade to Snow Leopard and are running 10.4 or 10.5 on their Intel Core2Duo machines and decide to go Lion in a...

    Lion via App Store

    Please read my post two above yours... Solves your problem perfectly, no?

    Lion via App Store

    If you'll look inside the package, you'll even find a disk image that you'll be able to burn on a single layer DVD.

    Mirrored displays, MacBook display stays black

    You could also simply keep the internal display active at all times as a secondary display. Gives you more screen real estate.

    Mirrored displays, MacBook display stays black

    Personally, I find the automatic way in which the Mac handles this better. The PC way seems so mechanical. I mean: Getting the MacBook to sleep and wake it up again doesn't take longer than bringing up a menu and selecting the right option...
