Hi all, In my previous thread I was trying to save my hard drive. It seems to have gone beyond resuscitation, and i am hoping I can scrape some of my data and was advised to use disc warrior. I downloaded it and created the flash drive using my MBA but it doesn't seem to be working. I...

Hi there, I have an iMac (7 I think, it's the aluminium one) running Mavericks. When I went to turn it on today I got this on the screen. Ignore the moire stuff, it's the small pixel type things that run over the screen. I have tried the following: Resetting the NVRAM Resetting the SMC Doing...

Hi there, I have a livescribe pen which has stopped importing into my MBA and iMac. It charges ok and there is clearly some kind of recognition going on but the page and audio files just won't go in. I have about 20-30 hours of audio that needs transcribing in the next few weeks and I'm now...

I had a bit of a disaster with my old MB (running snow leopard) and managed to get the HD out to save some vital stuff by plugging it into the replacement MBA (on lion). There are some things on the old HD that I'd like to do though and so I tried plugging it in, restarting with the option key...

this is a carry over from this thread... http://macosx.com/forums/hardware-peripherals/307341-epson-expression-scanner-freezing.html but I have come to the conclusion it isn't the epson 10000xl scanner, it's the software. Basically I am unable to save my scans in preview after...

For various reasons I've done a clean install on my iMac using the original install disks. however none of the iLife programmes that originally installed have done so this time. I only used the first disk because the second one was a developer disk. I'm already in the dog house because I...

I'm borrowing the above scanner and managed to scan about 5 pics successfully but now, right at the end of the scan process the scan freezes and I have to force quit it. If I leave it for about 10 mins, sometimes it will actually work. I am scanning A3 B&W photographs at: 16-bit greyscale...

title says it all really. Every time I touch, even lightly the button below the trackpad I get a double click. It's making it impossible to highlight text and windows automatically go into the dock if I try to move them. Is it something serious or could I just try and fix it by dismantling...

I put some jpgs from my imac into a folder marked 'my photos' on a flash drive, then dragged them onto the desktop of my macbook (10.4.11). I later went to drag them into a separate folder on my desktop, but the original 'my photos' folder remained. I tried dragging it to the trash...

Have just sorted my new iMac running on 10.5.2. I moved files from the main admin account over to a second account with admin privileges using the shared folder. Everything is as it should be BUT... I can no longer log into the second account. I tried using a plug-in keyboard in case it was...

Hi in crisis here! I'm running an imac g4 with 10.4.11 and version 11.00 of word for mac. My daughter is halfway through transcribing an interview ... got to page 45 saved it and went off. Came to restart today and suddenly she only had 7 pages! I don't seem to have any auto saves apart...

in the uk the O2 mobile service is offering contracts on the iPhone. It says that you get unlimited data, wifi, and special rates for roaming. So what do you actually get for your £35 a month along with your free minutes, texts and voicemail? Can you access the internet for free and email and...

Somehow my sweet lil daughter has managed to fix the default for appleworks so a text page is in landscape as opposed to portrait format. I tried setting the prefs back to default but it didn't work and I can't find anything either in the various menus in the tool bar or in appleworks help to...

Mt wireless connection on my macbook has been a bit erratic for a while now but now it isn't seeing any wireless connections at all apart from my neighbours'. The old imac in my daughter's room is also not getting a signal but the imac which is connected via ethernet cable is fine. I guess...

I somehow seem to have accidently dragged a really embarassing photo jpg file onto my finder toolbar window. I have tried everything to get rid of it but I can't! It just sits there waiting for someone to to click on it and get me into trouble. Any ideas? :(

I know that there are issues with viruses via VPC, but if I get a virus on my windows partition can it mess up my mac partition? Also, if I turn off the wireless BB connection on windows, does that mean it is totally off or can bad stuff still get through via the wireless connection on the mac...

OK, I have managed to install windows xp via bootcamp on my MB and I also installed the mac driver disk I made before installation. It all seems to work fine but sometimes the pointer is 'sticky'. It just won't move or moves very slowly. I have tried moving it with the button pressed down...

I don't seem to be able to find appleworks on my macbook. After spending time trying to import and generally playing around with it (photobooth is tooo distracting!), I have finally decided I have to do some real work, but I can't find appleworks! I trashed a load of foreign language...

Yep, me again! OK, I downloaded a trial of parallels, but because I also need windows xp, I have trashed it. Well tried to. I can't empty the trash now because it keeps saying that 'pvsnatd is in use'. I dragged it out onto the desktop, but I still can't trash parallels. Am I stuck with...
