120MB JPEG file would equate to an image that is many, many times that size. In other words, working on a 120MB JPEG file is akin to working on a TIFF or RAW file that is an upward of 600MB to 2GB in size. It stands to reason that Pixelmator and GIMP would use up to 5GB of RAM in order to work...

Try this: 1) Open Terminal. 2) At the prompt, type "echo $PATH" (without the quotes, of course) and press enter. 3) Post the results of that command here. More than likely, you've installed some program that modified the PATH variable or modified some config file (.bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.)...

This should (may or may not) work: 1) Set the Energy Saver preferences to never sleep anything at all on the 15". 2) Hook up an external mouse and/or keyboard via USB 3) Close the display (the computer should go to sleep) 4) Press a key on the keyboard to wake the computer That, combined with...

Strange and interesting -- both computers use mobile variants of the i5 -- perhaps you're correct. Are both the iMac and the Air running the same version of OS X?

The Core i5 does, indeed, support Hyperthreading, which probably explains the number of cores you're seeing in Activity Monitor.

Disk Utility's "Repair Disk" or "Check Disk" function should only be done while NOT booted from the drive you want to check -- in other words, you should boot from your OS X Install/Restore CD/DVD and run Disk Utility's "Check Disk" and/or "Repair Disk" on your internal hard drive. Running a...

Can you elaborate on this? What, exactly and precisely, did you try to do? What error message(s), if any, did you receive? Did the restore not work at all, or did it partially work?

Not to sound like a naysayer, but I don't believe we'll be hearing from the OP again. He/she registered 4 years ago and this is their first post, about an extremely generic topic, using very broad, sweeping generalizations that aren't entirely true ("...but I figure with all the changes with...

That means that resource forks and information are being stripped from the file on the Windows side, most likely when it's emailed. I'm not sure, off the top of my head, what a good workaround would be. You may have just encountered one of those situations where Macs and Windows PCs are simply...

Do you have any other system drives connected to your computer -- say, like a partition somewhere that contains an older 10.5-based OS X installation? It's possible that Mac OS X is trying to launch an iTunes.app program that is located somewhere other than your boot drive. Have you tried...

Yep, that sounds about right -- Windows (or rather, the fact that it's emailed from a Windows machine via Outlook or some email program) seems to be stripping the file of various resource forks and application associations that are required for proper operation on the Mac side. I don't know of...

What version of Mac OS X are you currently using, and what version of Mac OS X were you using when you made the backup?

Can you explain exactly what "doesn't work" about updating iTunes? Are you already using the most recent version of iTunes? Do you get an error message when you try and update iTunes? Please elaborate.

smb://servername/sharedfolder/test.doc ...is not an "address." smb://servername/sharedfolder ...is an address. smb://servername/sharedfolder/test.doc ...is an item or file located at the address "smb://servername/sharedfolder". Try this: 1) Make an alias of the item "test.doc" located at...

Handbrake (http://www.handbrake.fr). Install VLC (http://www.videolan.org) alongside Handbrake to be able to rip and convert protected DVDs. Handbrake has presets for "AppleTV 2" which work splendidly. I recently converted over a bunch of Muppet Show DVDs for my toddler so that we can stream...

I don't think this is possible without the recipient having the server share already mounted/mapped on their machine. Try this: 1) Have a user mount the Windows share on their computer (in other words, authenticate and connect to and be able to browse smb://Server/sharename/) 2) Send them the...

It's got all the key words: Mac, Microsoft, Office, links to Microsoft tech documents, etc. Shame.

What you want is Apple's "Enterprise" tools: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/ There are ways to deploy custom applications over-the-air to a select set of phones/pads, after you use Apple's iPhone Configuration Tool(s) to set them up as members of your enterprise group.

What, exactly, is "smtg?" Do you mean you changed permissions on that folder? The "Public" folder does not indicate in any way, shape, or form that anything on your computer is "visible to the public." I think you're misunderstanding what the "Public" folder is and what it's used for. Trust...

Check the partition map type: you'll want to have a partition map of type "GUID" (not MBR or APM). You can do this by booting from the OS X install CD/DVD, entering Disk Utility, clicking on the SSD device (not the indented partition underneath), and then clicking "Options..." and checking the...
