Thanks. I guess this is the best thing to do...

Hello, I would like to ask the following: I am planning to sell a MacBook Pro to a colleague. The MBP has Lion installed, and there exists just one user account in it (my wife's, who uses it). Since the buyer wants to minimize the hassle of setting it up again when he buys it, he asked me to...

Good evening everyone, I have installed iOS 4.2 beta 2 in my non-JB iPad, and I am very satisfied with it, as it includes numerous exciting features such as folders, multitasking, etc. However, I have the following question: When the iOS 4.2 official version is out, will it be safe to...

Thanks a lot for the reply. I was able to delete the folder from the finder, but I can't delete the two hidden files. Is there a special way to delete hidden files? EDIT: It's OK, I deleted these 2 as well! Everything is fine now! :-)

Good morning, I have recently migrated my old MBP to my new one, through Migration Assistant. The process went very smoothly, and with some minor exceptions I didn't need to do any extra modifications to my new system as it operated just like before. However, today I saw a folder named...

Hello, In Windows, it is impossible to backup a PC and then restore it to another PC with a different configuration, as the Windows OS must be "tied" to a specific PC: In other words, the user must install Windows to the new PC from scratch (so that the new drivers, etc. will be installed)...

Good morning, One of the (very few) negatives of the otherwise excellent iPad is the lack of Flash and Java support in its Safari browser. Is there any alternative browser (for non-JB iPads) that supports these two features? Thanks for the reply.

I really love Apple products, but situations like these make me crazy sometimes...

I take everyone's silence as a "no, i can't be done", I guess...

Hello all, I am planning to buy the 64 GB Wi-Fi iPad. The reason I do not opt for the 3G model is that I want to use my iPhone 3GS as a Wi-Fi Router, and thus connect my iPad to it and surf the net. Somebody told me that he heard that I have to install a separate app in my iPhone in order...

Good morning, I just installed the iStat Nano widget in my MBP 15'' Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz. Amongst other things, it displays the system temperature, which is currently at 32 Celsius. However, I do not know which is the appropriate temperature range for my system, so I cannot know which level...

Thanks a lot for your kind reply, djackmac. However, what I don't get and I would like you to explain to me is the following: When Windows is running inside Parallels, doesn't it use its own drivers to interact with the hardware? If that is the case, won't it have wrong drivers after a...

I have an additional question regarding migration: What happens with the virtual Windows 7 OS which resides inside Parallels Desktop in my current Macbook Pro? Will Windows be able to recognize the new Mac hardware, or will they need to be re-installed along with new drivers?

Sounds great, DeltaMac! Can't wait to put my hands on an Arrandale-based MBP...! :-)

Hello, As you well know, Apple today announced the new Macbook Pro family, which offers Arrandale i5 & i7 processors for the 15'' and 17'' models. I am quite tempted...! :-) I have a question, though: As far as I know Arrandale is a dual-core processor; however, Apple states that thanks to...

Hello, I have heard and read very positive comments about the Migration Assistant: It seems that nearly everyone agrees that the migration between two Macs is easy and flawless. I am waiting for the new MacBooks to come to market, and when they do, I will be probably have a first-hand...

Well, after some extensive Google-ing, I now know for certain that the Elgato card indeed does only H.264 encoding... This is quite unfortunate, as this format suits only my iPhone when I want to transfer movies to it (not a common case). None of my two DVD players at home support the H.264...

Hello all, Although I think I know the (sad) answer already, I am writing this post wishing that someone here shows me I got it all wrong: More specifically, I bought the Elgato Turbo264 HD USB card, hoping that it will speed up the process of authoring DVDs from avi files. My MacBook Pro...

Oops! Your post came a bit late for me, as I just emptied the Trash after having deleted everything MS-related, including the Fonts folder... :-( In Windows, if e.g. Word opened a document containing unknown fonts, it could do font substitution. OpenOffice for Mac doesn't have a similar feature?

Microsoft-free feels nice, indeed! :-)
