djackmac, thank you very much! I did NOT know that! This hasn't always been the case with my computer. It's something that it only started doing recently, so I was kind of worried. Thanks for the link and the article!

I've noticed lately that my battery icon in the toolbar says "charged" if I "show time" only, but when I click on "show percentage" it actually says 95% charged. Same with my iStat Nano widget - it says "95% charged." The light on my power adapter is GREEN, which would mean 100% charged. What's...

Hi, Mikuro! Thank you! I forgot to tell you, the first thing I did was run Apple's hardware diagnostic test! LOL My computer passed everything. So I really don't understand why the kernel panic happened. :(

Very sorry to bother you Mac geniuses again! But if it's not too time-consuming, could someone please reply to this tonight? I'm wondering if I should contact Apple support and take my computer in...or if it's nothing to worry about? Thank you so much. Again, I'm sorry for being so urgent. :o...

I just had my very first kernel panic (black box of death telling me to restart my computer immediately). I did some research and found that kernel panics are often due to "malformed network packets." What does that mean? Does this mean my Mac has been hacked??? Or someone attempted to hack into...

::evil:: FRYKE!!! Shame on you! You sold your 11-inch MBA already?! Didn't you just buy that a few months ago? :confused: Okay okay...congratulations! :D :p ;)

Yeah, the previous MBA was late 2010. OK, thanks for the replies, guys! I didn't realize Apple came out with a new 11-inch MBA with a backlit keyboard. But, the more I think about it, the less I like that idea - only because it would shorten the battery life, I think. It looks cool though. :cool:

I noticed someone the other day using a MacBook Air with a backlit keyboard, and I thought "Wow, that's cool! How come mine doesn't have that feature?" I just bought an 11-inch MBA a few months ago...and then I realized theirs was a 13-inch. So I guess only the 13-inch comes with the backlit...

I downloaded the Whoisconnected widget - just one problem. I have no idea how to read it. I see all these IP addresses but who are they? Where are they coming from? Can someone please explain to me how to use/read this widget in layman terms, please? I see a long list of "Application Unknown...

Hello Jim, If I understand your question correctly, no your neighbors can't get in your computer and change your settings (if you have your system password protected and your firewall and security measures are sufficient). The reason your computer is showing those other networks is because they...

Maybe I don't understand the question, but wouldn't doing a system-wide search via Spotlight and trashing all related components do the trick?

Hi, and thank you for the replies! Satcomer, may I ask you a few questions regarding what you said? Why would anyone want to find someone else's Mac on a network? What's the purpose of that? What are Active or Open Directories? Again, I don't understand this. You mean like "snooping"...

A few questions: 1. Is there any good reason to enable Stealth Mode? 2. Why doesn't Apple have Stealth Mode set by default? 3. Are there any drawbacks to enabling this feature?

That happened to me before. I just used Spotlight to find all the "pieces" of the app I wanted to uninstall and then I moved each one to the trash. This includes .plists, caches, remnants and any other file type left behind by the program. As for the log, go to Utilities and launch Console - the...

1. Click once on the icon you want 2. Click Apple/Command + i (info) 3. When the info window pops up, click once on the icon at the top of the window 4. Apple/Command + c (to copy the icon's image) 5. Apple/Command + p (to paste the icon's image)

Thanks for the replies, guys! I always wondered why Apple does not include Flash in their software bundle. Of course everyone needs Flash to pretty much function on the Internet. Doesn't Apple know this?! The first thing Mac users do when they buy a new computer is (guess!) ... yep, download...

Is there a freeware app for Mac for checking your system for trojans/viruses/possible hacks/etc.? I was casually browsing the Internet and I clicked a link and all of sudden this window popped up and started flashing in my face like the world was coming to an end and it said that there were...

Okay, thanks. No, see, I'm not worried, I just thought there was like an "average range" for temp and fan speed, that's all. Kinda like a car where you know what your car's "average range" is for rmp and temp and the needle generally stays in that range. I tried to research it online but...

I've noticed that my 11" MBA fan runs around 2000 most of the time (if I'm just surfing the 'Net and not doing any major tasks). I have iStat Nano and the readings show around 1999/2000 mostly. Sometimes when I'm playing YouTube videos the fan escalates up around 4500. Can someone tell me...
