I agree that HDMI is better than VGA. If you still want a Mini-Displayport to VGA I got one from Monoprice.com that works pretty well. Cheaper than Apple's.

I don't IM, but I've heard good things about Adium, which works on MSN, Yahoo (I think), and AIM.

Good call, ElDiablo! Clamshell mode. What was I thinking?

By the way, that should work for several selected files as well, a quick way to trash multiple pix.

www.monoprice.com is pretty well-known for this stuff. I bought a Mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter from them that works fine. It was less expensive than Apple's too. Next, I need to by DP to DVI. EDIT: I reread this post and realized it didn't fit well with the thread and didn't exactly answer...

Flashbang, Welcome to MacOSX.com! You may not want to hear this, but my first suggestion is to upgrade to at least 10.3. 10.4 would be better if you have at least 512 MB RAM memory. 10.2 just wasn't "done" enough. 10.3 was significantly better. 10.4 was world class. Next suggestion: Do you...

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean. You should be able to right-click (or command-click or two-finger-on-trackpad-click) the photo in "photos" (make sure "photos" is selected on the left side of the window) and click "move to trash." Let us know if that doesn't work. I tried...

Not that I know of without buying hardware. If your router has a USB port on it, or if you have another way of making the drive into Network Attached Storage (NAS), I believe there is an unsupported (by Apple) way to use your drive this way. I Googled "NAS Time Machine" and found people...

Duane, Welcome to MacOSX.com! You can use Handbrake to convert the files in Video_TS to .Mov (H.264) files. I am not familiar with HandbrakeCLI. I'd suggest using the regular Handbrake, which runs in a regular window (instead of through the Terminal, as HandbrakeCLI might). Click the "Source"...

I know of no way to "shut down" one of the monitors. You could arrange the unwanted monitor diagonal to the primary, mostly solving your mouse cross over.

Popcorn (also by Roxio) will also do it. But Toast Titanium is much more capable. Bot

Forgive me if I missed this, but did you try putting the new drive in, booting from the DVD, formatting the drive from there (in one of the menus you'll find Disk Utility), and then installing SL? Bot

Wow! Satcomer, El Diablo, you two do not get enough credit (referring, of course, to your answering five questions in this thread alone). Bot

Sure sounds like a defective card. If you can get a replacement card, I don't think it would be very difficult to install. Just put the screen down on a towel or something else that's soft. Be sure to get an Airport Extreme card, not Airport (but you probably know that). I checked eBay. The...

Put the 10.4 DVD into the drive, reboot, hold down C when the machine restarts until it starts booting from the DVD. Look for an Options button and select "Archive and Install." Let us know if you have further questions. Bot

I've seen requests for trades on Craigslist, and it's free. That would probably be my first choice. Bot

Thanks, Satcomer. I have a MacBook Pro and a mini. The Mercury Elite Pro is the least expensive, I may go that route.

I bought an external (1 TB) Simpledrive (I think that's the name) on clearance at Best Buy, and it's flaky. It will disconnect improperly when I put my machine to sleep. Tech support told me to un-check "Power down hard drives when possible" in the Energy Saver Preferences. Unfortunately, that...

Have you tried installing the latest version of Safari (version 4)? [You can determine the version of your Safari by clicking on the "Safari" menu at the top of the screen and going to "About Safari".]

Welcome to MacOSX.com! I take it you have one of the new MacBook Pros that has the SD card slot, right? Don't forget you have 90 days of tech support included with the machine. It may be a defective card slot. Do you have another card you can try to attempt to rule out a formatting issue? Bot
