I'm in pretty much the same situation... My old PowerBook G4 1.67 (10.4.x) worked just fine with my DLink DI-624, but my new(er) MacBook SR 2.0 (10.5.5) has had the issue from day one. The thing is, I ONLY have this problem with my home router (which there is nothing wrong with, PCs work fine)...

That's exactly what I was thinking, that it should slide in firmly! well after taking it apart again I noticed a small piece of plastic sitting loose on the logic board - guess what, it was the locking bar! Looks like the guy I bought it off broke it at some point. For anyone with similar...

Ok more results... Adjusted the ribbon on the back again. this time it booted up just fine! I was able to eject the 10.5 dvd no problem. but still no startup chime hmmmm, so I check the volume settings in sys prefs, and sure enough there is nothing listed under output - no "line out" or...

Okay good new and bad news... really really bad news... First off - took the case apart, immediately saw that the fan cable was unplugged - an easy fix. So I install the additional RAM (now at 2x1GB), put it all back together, and voila, works like a charm. "About this Mac" reports 2GB, looks...

I haven't re-installed OS X yet (came with original 10.4 disks as well as retail 10.5), I'm waiting until I upgrade the ram (in case I get to the computer store and decide pick up a new hd too haha). But he erase/installed leo before selling so I don't think he would have installed anything...

I just picked up a used mac mini, want to do some upgrades to it but first I have a problem to fix... It's a Core Duo 1.83, superdrive (high end of 2nd gen Intel I believe), 80GB HD, 1x1 GB RAM. The guy I bought it from said he had an issue with one of the RAM sticks (was 2x1GB before), but...

A tip: it doesn't need to be a mac specific drive. Any dvd drive will do, as long as it has an ATA connection (some places will simply call them IDE drives, so as not to confuse ATA with SATA). Also, you'll have to remove the front part of the tray (really simple) so that it will eject properly...

Hi MrLatte, I think your mac pro is the first rev correct? If this is the case, you should put the 8800gt in the primary PCI-Express slot (the double-wide one, x16). You can check (and change) the configuration of your PCI-Express slots with the Expansion Slot Utility, found in...

Aha, I had been cycling through the different options in the print dialog (such as Layout, Print Settings, etc.), but completely missed the "automatic page scaling" option... There's a text box that lets you enter a % scale (was 100, changing it did nothing), but below that there are 3 radio...

I'm having an odd problem with the way Preview is printing page margins of PDFs. The issue first came up last week when I was printing a PDF (typeset in LaTeX) report from Preview. In LaTeX I had defined 1 inch page margins on letter paper (university requirements), and the PDF looks perfect on...

lol sorry, that is exactly the kind of thing my girlfriend would do. i really think this is just a source issue... ok so you've got a dvd player plugged into red/white on the tv - what happens when you pull them out and replace them with the cables from your mac? and the tv's source is the same...

that makes no sense. you could test the cable with an ipod or something, or on a different tv, but i cant think of other reasons for it not to work. i guess the other place to look is on the mac end - it is for sure plugged into audio out, and not mic in?

hmmm, is your TV in the correct input mode (source)? Sorry if thats too obvious, but my TV wont actually let me select my HDMI/DVI input unless hdmi is plugged in, regardless of whether audio cables are plugged in. For now, until you get the HDMI cable, just try a different input. Wait, "the...

This is exactly the setup I have, so should be good! Just one question: You say "The DVI port"... do you mean "the HDMI port"? If yes (i.e. the port on the TV is HDMI) then you're good to go... enjoy ur extended desktop!

haha sure, I'll try to clear it up a bit. check out this page for some pics (by the way thats just a google, those prices dont seem right): http://www.smelectronics.com/HDMI.htm the first pic is a plain HDMI cable, both ends. the second pic is HDMI on one end (the small, almost USB-sized one)...

yup sounds like straight dvi is the way to go. and cheap too. here are a couple of links, i don't really know any uk dealers, but these at least have pictures for ya: apple mini-dvi to dvi...

hey, I have a similar setup with my 20" AL iMac and 27" samsung LCD HDTV. Pick up a mini-dvi to dvi adapter from apple ($20 CAN), and a dvi to hdmi cable (i found one at futureshop for ~$30). works like a charm, OS X even gets the 1360x760 resolution right. also, while HDMI does support...

I prefer the GIMP over pixelmator because it is a lot closer to photoshop in terms of functions, but it is definitely not easier to use for the average user. Even a minor OS update can potentially break it, so you have to keep on top of updating your XQuartz. For the average user, I would...

LABachlr, I'm running the GIMP on 10.5.2 with no problems. Have you checked out Wilber Loves Apple? http://darwingimp.sourceforge.net/ They put together some solid packages. Just make sure you update your X11 to the latest version (XQuartz 2.1.4). Oh, and if you don't already have X11 installed...

Hey guys, i was searching around for the same thing and found a linux solution - and a Mac OS X solution in the process. It is done from command line, but it's not too bad. Go to PowerISO's download page (www.poweriso.com/download.htm) and download the "PowerISO for OSX" archive to your...
