    HELP - buying a new mac -- decisions!

    The 17" MBP comes with a 2.16Ghz Core duo standard, but you can upgrade the 15". They have the same RAM, and the same video card (in the high end 15"). Both these would be greatly superior to the mini, which maxes out at a 1.66 Ghz Core Duo. Tho, in my experience, your perception of speed is...

    Can't delete files from external hard drive.

    Unless I'm sadly mistaken in my recall, you should still be able to copy files FROM an NTFS drive onto the Mac's HD, reformat the external, then move the files you want to keep back to the external. No?

    Dvd Burner Help

    If you have a different hard drive, try moving your less-frequently used documents there. AFAIK, the Superdrive will only the boot drive as the scratch disk. It's also not a good idea to have less than 5gb available on your boot drive in general. It tends to cause slow-downs and general...

    Mail & IMAP: Dragged Messages Don't Arrive at Destination

    Odd new Mail.app behavior. When dragging messages to the IMAP account's inbox, they never arrive at the inbox. The message will be removed from the original location, but the second part of the process never seems to complete. This equals lost messages, which is no good. Details: iMac G5...

    airport express/itunes

    Just to make sure we're getting what you're saying... you have 2 macs, each with airport. No hub or base station. In other words, neither can connect to the internet via Airport. Is this correct? And when you say "my source menu" what exactly are you referring to? Shared iTunes Libraries...

    BootCamp run Windows on Mac

    Since Steve came back and started calling shots, he hasn't really made any drastically stupid decisions (ok ok Flower Power iMac, maybe the Cube....). His greatest strength has always been seeing opportunity where others didn't. I look forward to what Apple has to follow this up with...

    4th Gen... Out of Curiosity.

    Not to make excuses, but this happens all the time when high-tech gadgets explode in popularity. Quality HAS to suffer at times to match demand. You could argue that it's OUR fault for wanting them so damn much. The first 2 generations of the PlayStation had a massive problem where the laser...

    Safari: Can I Add a Tab Button to the Tool Bar?

    The debug menu is useful for website testers mostly, but has neat features. Namely the "Open page with ->" sub-menu for when Safari can't load a page, it lets you choose another browser to open it in. It's not on by default because it takes some actual learning to find out what to do with 90%...
