    OS Reinstall on Mini - Classic problems

    Recently had my HD in my Mini (10.3.x) get major problems forcing an OS X reinstall from scratch. (From supplied Mini discs) I copied all of my files that were salvageable to my external USB drive and then did the nasty task of formatting and reinstalling on the internal Mini's drive. Once...

    Mini - Added SuperDrive stopped reading some DVD-R

    I have a Mini running 10.3.x that I added a Pioneer DVR-K40L (I think thats the right model #) to when I got it. The drive just worked like a charm when I swapped it in for the CD-RW/DVD ROM that was in it originally. Then a few weeks ago my HD in my Mini went haywire, and I had to attempt to...

    TV for mac buying advice

    Sounds like you find what you needed! I agree on the Formac products, they look nice but have heard too many bad things about them. Only one I hear good about is the EyeTV and similar products but have not used it so cant really recoommend it. Let us know how your selections work for you!

    Bluetooth USB Adapters

    I believe most of them are Mac friendly but it doesnt hurt to find one that says Mac compatible on it just the same. I use a Kensington one and it works nice.

    Toast 7 won't burn...

    No probs here ElDiablo - you are just doing what most of us here do... looking out for the real deal. So as a "purchaseer" (play on spelling) of 5 and 6 did they offer you a better deal than the laughable 99.95 minus a $30 USD rebate? I have owned it for years and never gotten any kind of...

    Toast 7 won't burn...

    I have gotten the email 4 times in the last week. (got another as i was typing this) I don't think $69 is a very good upgrade price so I'm holding off. I paid that price new at the store for 6 Titanium maybe a year ago. But it does say its a download only thing. So I'd assume it's probably...

    iTunes 4.9 makes me want to break things

    You can get older installers off your installer CDs/DVDs for OS X or iLife using that installer package viewer whos name is escaping me currently. Or if you are like me, you always DL the full installers and archive them for just-in-case situations. I believe that VersionTracker still has...

    iTunes 4.9 makes me want to break things

    Im not running QT7 yet... but I have installers for all versions of iTunes going back for quite a ways on discs somewhere including several iLife install discs. I just dont want to have to go backwards to go forwards. And I have been using the podcast stuff in 4.9. I got all my music moved...

    iTunes 4.9 makes me want to break things

    Ok, I have had, until iTunes 4.9, no problems with my macs or my itunes libraries or the fact that they span muliple drives. But since I upgraded, everytime my mac stops working correctly, stops responding, stops playing by the rules... iTunes 4.9 is always running at the time. When iTunes...

    Where does a new (old) user go to get up to speed?

    Well, if you are into books, The OReilly book "Mac OS X The Missing Manual: Tiger Edition" would be excellent. I like books because I can make highlights and dogear pages, make notes etc. (The missing manual series are excellent as well.) Reading this site, skimming thru the forums, also an...

    Illustrator vs Photoshop vs Web Help!

    I personally would bring the illustrator file into PhotoShop to rasterize it then out ot the web. One thing that might help with the text is to make it into outlines before you save the file out as a new (aptly named) ai file for importing into PhotoShop. As far as the image looking...

    Your 5 "Can't live without…" albums

    For me, I have an easier time picking whole albums since they have a more fluid experience. I remember when the entire album was good music and had a cool start to finish vibe. Anymore, its 2-3 MTV friendly songs that can be singles with 10 junk tracks and call it an album. Noone really makes...

    Flash drive volume label?

    I renamed my USB flash drive by simply clicking on the name and waiting until it became highlighted and then typed in a new name. It saves it on the drive somewhere becaues that name also appears on my windows machine when I mount the unit up.

    How do I get an <iframe> and its content to resize along with browser window?

    Not easily, no. If you use a script to handle the iframe's sizes as variables, that then changes them when you resize the window - that might work. I find iframes to be very inflexible for my needs, but in some cases they are the only way to accomplish certain tasks in a webpage.
