    Leopard screenshots?

    Fake... and underwhelming. THey didn't even bother trying to make it look like it had cool new features in the first shot. And there is no way the 2nd one is anything Apple created.

    What happens if you lost your ipod

    Unfortunately, he is out of luck for the most part. I seriously doubt anyone would turn it in to be returned to its owner. Not very many honest people out there these days. But you never know, I might be proven wrong by someone for a change.

    i want to burn a movie onto a dvd so that i can watch it on tv.

    A rule of thumb, if you can open and view the movie on your Mac via QuickTime Player, you will most likely be able to use Toast to make a DVD of it. The only problem I have had with AVI -> DVD has been movies encoded with Divx or any variant of it (like 3ivx or Xvid).

    iDVD dramas

    When you installed iDVD 5, did you make sure to verify that it was set to install the older themes? I am not sure if its on by default or not. When I reinstalled iLife 05, it installed the older themes as part of the install process for iDVD.

    firewire or usb2 3.5" HD enclosure?

    I ended up just getting a LaCie Porsche 120GB for $115 at CompUSA and it works like a champ. Ended up being a great purchase, shortly after I got it, my internal HDD went crazy on me and I used it to backup everything that wasnt on a bad spot on the old HDD. (I tried and failed repeatedly to...

    As said in another thread, the problem was the haywire HDD. I replaced it Wednesday night and everything is working honky dory now.

    Mac Mini HDD upgrade?

    I replaced my drive wednesday night when I got back from seeing Serenity. The new HDD was sitting on my porch (soaked from the rain) but the contents were clean and dry. Install was easy, but a little painful due to the odd screw placement on the flimsy plastic HDD install frame in the Mini...

    ejecting mini DVD/CD?

    Update. Recieved my new HDD and put the newer DVD-RW/DL back in when installing it. The machine booted right into the Mini Install DVD no problem. The bad HDD was definately the culprit, which I figured but wasnt sure. Nice to have my Mini back working again.

    Superdrive problem (Help needed)

    Sounds like the action the drive takes when it does not use a format of disc. I'd try a DVD-R or DVD-RW and see if they work. Sounds like its rejecting the +R.

    Mac Mini HDD upgrade?

    $255 is way too much for an internal drive imho. you could get a 250 gig firewire or usb2 for under $200 and not have to install it in the machine. jmpo.

    Mac Mini HDD upgrade?

    My Mini's HDD died recently and I am installing a new one into mine as well. Because I replaced the RAM and the DVD Drive, my warranty will not cover it. Which I think sucks because the drive is bad and they should but I digress. Your optoins are pretty limited right now for the 2.5" laptop...

    Gmail Being Spammed?

    the Report Spam button is your friend. Use it well, use it often. I only get a few bits of spam on Gmail and they are always flagged as spam and sent to the SPam box. Gmail good. Spam bad.

    Have you tried the Digimarc watermark plugin that comes with PS for this? Not sure if it will show up when copied but it does read it back into PS.
