Kinda sucks because "transfer purchases on ipod" only transfers whats on the ipod touch, not what i...

I have a mac book air and an imac. I use the air when I am out at work or traveling, but it sucks to have to use a flash drive to carry my files over when it would be a lot easier to have them automatically mirror each other. IE If I install a program on one, it installs on the other. I am just...

Hey guys, I have OS 10.6.1 and I want to convert some FLV files generated by download helper in Fire fox from youtube.com to an MPEG file I can convert to an MP3. When I had tiger, this was easy as cake. I would use Switch and iSquint to do it. Sadly, iSquint is no longer being developed...

Hey guys, I am on a real budget here and picked up a Lexmark x1150 printer/scanner/copier up for $15 out of a yard sale. The printer works, I know it does. I put the CD in and the install for OSX fails every time though. I am running Snow leopard so I googled it. Turns out SL dropped a lot of...

Hello guys, I am at my first base in the UK, first time ever leaving the US. Quickly found out my Verizon prepaid phone doesn't work. So I need a new phone. The internet service on base is real slow, often crowded. It would be nice to get one that lets me tether for internet. Started to...

Hey guys, I just got my macbook and installed XP by boot camp. It runs pretty smooth but I tried to put a file over 4gb on to it and refused to take it. Is there a way to convert fat32 to NTFS without deleting any of my information? If I have to delete the information, is there a way to back...

So, I went ahead and bought the new Iphone 3g software for my ipod. I have an ancient ibook now, and had to buy a blue tooth dongle for it. It works, but I dont see a use for it yet.

Well, my 30gb ibook hard drive was filling up rapidly so I got a 500gb western digital "my passport" portable external hard drive. I plug it in and it takes 1 minute to show up on my desk top. Ok, so I go ahead and back up my computer and it takes a few hours. I notices it took about 30-40...

Well, I got a phone call from my friend, and a bunch of cryptic emails from her. This is the same friend who tried to mix apple and oranges, litterally by putting her 2 month old macbook in a bag with orange juice, which now resides in her CD drive. She was cleaning her computer with rubbing...
