There is a lot of discussion these days about secure data erasure. I think what eric2006 is trying to get across is that there are methods out there to recover the data - there always will be. Whether you are using some fancy low-level drive software, or whether you are examining the electron...

Something else to consider - if you have any Apple Authorized repair centers, maybe go ask if they have a parts collection. The service center I worked at had a LOT of old parts iMac G3s, iMac G4 Flat Panels, emacs, etc etc They'd charge a reasonable price for the part, and the labor to...

I have a G4 Mac Mini 1.25Ghz with 512MB of RAM, Radeon 9200 32MB Video I'm gonna guess that your system is comparable to mine. I've been running Tiger for over 6 months now. At first I thought it was MUCH slower than Panther, but now I'd have to say it runs half decent. Here is some...

It could be either. There could be an error in the programming. One of the components the program depends upon could have been upgraded or changed, in a way that makes the application behavior unstable. Or, if you are having problems with all sorts of programs, for no reason, you may be...

The Macbook has Infrared support, but its merely a receiver, much like that on your DVD player. IRDA, the infrared protocol for exchanging data is not implemented on the MacBook. IRDA has a number of security concerns associated with it, and is considered an archaic protocol these days...

Yes, unfortunately for me I'm using an external CD/DVD drive because my Mac Mini internal one stopped working on day 366 of my warranty :P The eject.menu only results in a "Close Combo Drive" for me - whether there is a disc in it or not :P

My instructions should fix it then. Follow the instructions on the link I provided (to apple's site) to change your shortname and preserve your account settings.

I have three small boys and they love to get into the computer and play their games. Unfortunately most of these games require CD. I tried putting "Some Limits" on and customizing the system so that it was hard to get into anything sensitive, but I found they still managed to do it every time...

*EDIT* Doh! After writing this, I see macbri slid in a response :P Oh well - here for redundancy. As a standard rule of thumb, partitioning will automatically erase the data. This is true because 99% of the time the software you are using does two or more steps when you change the partition...

*HOW* did you change your shortname? OS X doesn't allow you to change your shortname through the interface. Here is the instructions on properly changing your shortname: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824 Now... if you changed the shortname of your home directory - in...

A batch file is, at its simplist level, a series of DOS commands. For example - you can create go.bat and have the following in it: mount c /Users/test/kingsquest C: C:\quest.exe (I have no idea about the actual directories / commands - you'll have to substitute them) If you wish...

THQ's Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures The game will install and run fine from the same account. If you install it on one account and want to run it on another, you will run into problems. The program will launch, go to a black screen for a few seconds, then dump back to the desktop. The...

I installed the latest firmware and all the sleep issues disappeared.

A better solution to this would be to get a USB Capable EIO card from ebay for $12, install it in the printer, and connect it to the Macbook Pro via USB. You could probably even do a Centronics to Bluetooth adapter. This is all rather fascinating but it still does not answer my question: How...

If I knew what IR printing was, then it stands to reason I'd understand the mechanics of IR Printing. I am sorry however because I made the mistake of posting with the assumption that people wouldn't think I'm an idiot.

By putting the MacBook in front of the IR receiver on the printer, and printing via the IR port. That's how you IR print. Unless I don't understand your question.

How do you do IR Printing in Mac OS X? We got an old HP LaserJet 2100 Series that does only has a Centronics interface. We'd like to print from the MacBook Pro using IR. How is this done? Printer Setup Utility does not list IR Printing as an option. Thanks

I finally convinced my roommate to switch, and boy did he ever. He bought himself the 2Ghz MacBook Pro model. Everything is nice except for the heat and lockups. As far as heat, I have been hearing that a lot... its HOT. As for the lockups, we are able to reproduce the problem now: Set...

For me, I want it so when I drag a picture into an album, its automatically added to my website database and the image and thumbnails are automatically transferred there. The closest I have gotten to this has been by writing a somewhat buggy iPhoto plugin that synchronizes photo data between...

I am curious how many people are a little concerned, or annoyed at how the announcement of the new iLife '06 products focuses quite a bit on .mac publishing, "locking" users into this service. It reminds me of another computer company's tactics. Right now I pay over the $99/year subscription...
