no, what you have is a dieing vid card. those are called video artifacts, due to the card over heating, or parts of it not working correctly anymore. what kind of mac do you have? if you can open it, i'd check to make sure that the fan on the card is still turning. if not, don't turn your...

i'd buy one of iogear's kvms if i were you. i got the usb/vga one and it works great with my mac and win pc. they do make ones for dvi/usb too. and if they say its mac compatible, it is. and the best thing is if you get one that doesn't have the cables built in to the kvm, like the one i...

i have a digital audio with an upgraded cpu and video card, and use a microsoft keyboard. i start up my mac, and as soon as it has bonged, i hold down command, option, O, and F and it turns the screen off, then back on, and then goes to the select boot disk mode. what am i doing wrong to get...

well, it could be that the dvd part of the drive is bad. best way to find out is to try a different drive in it, and if it sees dvds, then your drive most likely is bad

you miss read that. all that 500gig means is that the biggest drive apple sold them with that that big, not that the mac can only read 500gig worth of drive space. there is no max size limit on sata drives that i know of. so you can put 2 700gig drives in your mac, and plug as many drives in...

my mac has 9 usb ports on it, and all are filled. so ports will fill up fast. and i don't think that there are any ports that will pass power from the mac to the device. so if you have a bus powered device, you have to get a powered hub. so i would get a 4port powered hub. and i can find...

but to answer your questions 1) yes 2) no 3) safer than what? 4) only if you need to copy large file between your mac and pc alot. just remember, in order to change the drive to fat32 from ntsf, all info on the drive will be erased. so make sure that you copy eveything you want off the hard...

imovie, maybe even iphoto with export slideshow.

nope, it can only do it online. thats how apple's servers tell the computer its ok to play the songs. apple can't tell the computer its ok over the phone. also make sure that not only its not blocked by the school, but by any routers, or the people that provide the school with internet.

homestarrunner.com rocks!

opps. i didn't even notice when the thread was started. i just saw it was at the top.:rolleyes:

apple just never did screensavers until os x came out.

well, if you are saving them as .jpeg, and not .jpg, then that might be what is throwing off the pcs. they really don't do well with file extentions that are more than 3 letters/numbers long, or are missing.

openoffice is nice, and has yet to give me any issues, where msoffice always has. maybe you should be asking for help on solving openoffice problems. either way, good luck on your big task.

nope, os 9 did not have any. they were only 3rd party. darkside of the mac i believe was a free one that works similar to afterdark, and could even use many of afterdark's modules. i think you can find a link to it on pure-mac.com.

the qs cpus should all be interchangeable. should being the key word. check out xlr8yourmac.com. they are a great place to learn on apple cpu swapping.

i'd get a 250 (also from elgato) instead of the hybrid. because the 250 is a hardware encoder, i got zero latency, even when my mac still had a g4/466 cpu in it. the hybrid on the other hand is a software encoder, which means it is using the mac's cpu to do everything. which is why ttc was...

correct. have you by chance downloaded the manual for the 250 and read it? it may answer several of your questions, and clear things up for you. thats what i did, and thats what sold me on the 250.

what file format is the card in? unless its fat32, the mac can't write to it. did you format it with the wii? it may use a format that the mac can't write too. its also possible that the wii software locked it.

well, i don't even know what sky box is (nor has it been defined yet in this thread). i have my psone plugged into my eyetv250 so i can play it on my lcd, and i have an antenna attached to the eyetv250 too because it has a built-in tv tuner. so i get the free aired tv stations. as long as...
