Yep, I created "one" partition (which is now 232.57 GBs), but it still keeps coming up saying that Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. I tried verifying/repairing the drive and it says everything is okay. WTF

Ugggh. What a pain in the ass. I just tried skipping the Zero Out option and went to install OS X. Now it says that OS X cannot be installed on this system/disk/machine etc. I guess I'm going to have to replace the drive. Would the WD Caviar Green 500 GB be a good option? Would going from...

I usually just do the one-pass option just to start with a fresh hard drive before installing OS X. Any idea how much of a challenge it is to install in an iMac (3 years old model)? I've installed a bunch in PCs and a few Mac Pros, but never in an iMac. Do you know of any apps that can report...

I've done this many times and it normally takes a few hours. My wife's iMac is 3 years old and has never been reformatted. About 4 hours ago, I used Disk Utility and selected the option to do One Pass of Writing Zeros (not 7). The estimated time keeps getting longer and longer and now it says 2...

Thanks! That did the trick!!!

I have a Mac Pro with four processors and 7 GBs of RAM. For months now, whenever I right click a file then hover over "Open with..." it just kills my computer and makes it dreadfully slow for several minutes. I can hear the disk drive going nuts. I just reformatted about 3-4 months and am not...

That only works for the playlist that is currently selected. I would like to apply the settings I want to ONE column, then have it copied to ALL OTHER playlists as well.

I have over 200+ playlists in iTunes on my Mac (one for each album). Is there anyway that I can customize one the way I want it (show/hide certain columns, then automatically adjust the width) then apply it to all the other 200+ playlists? I've tried looking for any AppleScript that would do...

I'm using Cisco's VPN Client 4.9.01.0080 and it looks a little different. There's an option to check "Allow Local LAN Access", which I tried checking, but I still get a connection failed error when trying to use screen sharing on my Macbook. When I do this when the machine is not on the VPN, I...

I have a home network with 3 Macs. I need to use one of them to connect to my work's VPN at times. This machine is also hooked up to the printer and whenever it's connected to my work's VPN, nobody can print to it. Does anyone know of a way to make it so it will work the same whether it's...

I just bought a magic mouse and installed the latest software for the mouse from the Apple downloads page and am running 10.6.1. I've installed the software twice and restarted twice, but whenever I go to Preferences then Mouse it just shows the basic mouse settings. What's the problem? Any...

I just bought a new AirPort Express (802.11n / A1264) and would like to use it to play music on my iPod Hi-Fi as well as for BD-Live with my Blu-Ray Player or my Xbox 360. I have two routers -- an older Airport Extreme (cone shaped - for my 802.11g network) and a newer model Airport Extreme for...

I am considering purchasing a blu-ray burner for my MacPro. Does anyone know which burners can be used with it? Has anyone here done this before?

Is it possible to release the IP address that my ISP has assigned me on my Airport Extreme? I logged in, but couldn't find a way to do it. I know I don't have a static IP address because it changes from time to time. If I just disconnect the power for a few mins then plug it back in I still get...

I have a MacPro with a double layer DVD burner. I've tried using Xbox Backup Creator 2.8 in Windows through Parallels, but Windows is not recognizing my DVD drive. I've attempted to use Toast Titanium 8, Fast DVD Copy, and Disk Utility, but both are showing the disk only has 5.3 MBs (yes...

I have several macs running n, along with my tivos and xbox 360 running g. All work fine except for this freakin' PeeCee (which is only 6 months old). I was planning on buying an older Airport to run just g on, then use just n for the macs to get the faster connections. I'm just going to plug it...

I just got a new Airport Extreme and it works great with all of my Macs (no surprise). I have a PC (Vista) with an 802.11g wireless card that's one foot away from my MacPro and three feet away from the Airport Extreme. The internet on my PC is dead slow. Another strange thing is that it...

I have two Macs that I'm running Apache on for local web development using nothing but plain html/php (no database). One seems normal and the other seems to use waaaaaaay too much virtual memory. The machine that has 3 GBs of RAM currently has these processes running: The other only has...
