Is it a good idea to get AppleCare for my new 12" Powermac? It's pretty expensive (AppleCare that is) What does the AppleCare Protection plan give you that ordinary insurance doesn't?

Reading todays responses on MACOSX about the new Powermacs, and the previous Powerbook and iMac updates, it seems that MACOSX has a rather negative spin on Apple news. Not saying that it's a bad thing, but there definitely has been a change here over the last 3-6 months. When I switched I used...

Hi all, About once every two-three weeks I get the following; When I try to start up any application they will hang (beach ball) for about 1-4 minutes before finally starting up. Once the machine is in this state it will effect any application I try to start or quit. After waiting 1-4...

Some French site has posted pics of what could be the new PowerMac. It sounds fake to me.. but it is a quite well done fake.. http://www.spymac.com/comments.php?id=102_0_5_0_C Actually I hope it is fake, i think it looks ugly :D :D

Since they released a major update to iTunes AND! the iPod, I'm really surprised they didn't include mp4 (ACC) support in them. The new features in iTunes are quite nice, but nothing really earth shattering. I thought including mp4 support would have been a must have for any new versions of...

Never Winter Nights (by BioWare) was going to be released simultaneously on Windows/Mac/Linux. They have stated this in press releases and in their FAQ for months. But when they finally announced the shipping date (the other day), they decided to go back on their promise, and said that now...

Want to replace my cube's rage 128 with one these. I'm getting so dispirit for one, you can probably get a very good price out of me. The 64mb ram model supported TwinView display, so that I can have dual monitors setup. Anyone?

Can someone tell if this is normal behavior of an Apple Pro mouse? When I move the mouse fast the pointer starts to go all over the place. Eg. If I move it at a moderate speed from left to right, the pointer goes left to right across the screen, but If I do the same thing but moving the...

Hi, Can someone recommend a laser printer for use with OS X? Thanks, Aisha

Hi, Does anyone know how to create a menu bar extra (like the clock/display menubar icons). Is there an API for this? Is there some documentation on how to create an application like this anywhere??? I have looked http://developer.apple.com and couldn't find anything. Thanks heaps,

I have been playing around with iPhoto all day :D It is all SJ said it would be, so hurrah for Apple! But has anyone noticed the following little quirks? (Might just be my computer of course). * The window resizing is really really slow. It makes OmniWeb's resizing of a busy webpage look...

<br> They are mostly star-trek take offs!!! The new one "Full speed ahead - lust factor ten" is one also. Why are they doing this?? Does it mean anything???? Perhaps all this hype about something really special being released at MWSF hasn't been intentional. Maybe the geeks got hold of...

Hi all, How did Apple intend us to launch applications in OSX? I use LaunchBar personally (and love it!), and I have seen a whole heap of other 3rd party tools. And this works for me just great! I love OSX and the Dock – It’s ten times better than the w2k machine I have to use at work...

That’s it! I have had enough of waiting for someone else to write a virtual desktop program for OsX. So I'll write one myself :-) (I don't want it to be like Space.app. Space.app is a great little hack, but I want to have true virtual desktops.) I am a programmer, but I haven't had much...

Hi, I have a G4 cube - and i want to upgrade the graphics card in it to a geforce2 MX. I am almost about to buy a Geforce2MX (Mac) from some guy. How do I know if it works with my Cube?? or even if it'll fit!!! So what are the nVidia Geforce2 models that work in a Cube, and how can I...

I have accidentally overwritten my dock's poof.pdf. Can someone please send me their dock's "poof" file, so that I can have it back to normal. Stupid me.. Thanks heaps, Aisha

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to hide a running application's dock icon? For instance.. I like to have Stickies running in the background but I don't want to have it cluttering up my dock.. And on a more general note.. Does anyone else out there think that in OSX there needs to be...
