Hi. I have a Toshiba Canvio External 1TB HD which uses a USB 3.0 Micro B connector. From my experience, this is the worst connector ever invented. I barely touch the cable and it disconnects the HD. It's practically useless unless I have my laptop sitting on a table where the HD won't get...

Hey all, I've tried downloading the iPod 3.0 Software update and every time I pause the download or lose internet connection for a second, the entire download restarts from zero. Can I prevent this from happening? I've searched my mac for the actual file that is being downloaded but I...

So the internal microphone on my 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro just decided to stop working a few months ago. In the sound tab of system preferences I get nothing. Although when Skyping with it, the person I'm talking to says they can hear some kind of noise when I tap the left speaker...

So I want to get a saying tattooed on my arm but I want the saying in Japanese. Does anyone know how to speak Japanese and can translate into kanji characters? The saying is, "My honor is my life. Take honor from me, and my life is done." Can anyone do this for me? Thanks! -Mike

I know this is long but please read. I really need help. I have had my iMac G4 since April of 2004 and have had few problems with it. Well now I have a big one. About two months ago, the modem suddenly stopped working. Every time I'd try to connect, I'd get an error saying "Could not connect...

I've had this problem before in this thread. Basically, Command and Conquer Generals does not play smoothly at all. As soon as it gets to the menu screen, it is in major lag mode. Lagtastic as I, being a nerd, like to say. The video quality is on high but I used to run the game like that no...

Hey everybody. I was wondering why Safari doesn't support the <bgsound...> tag when using .wav files. It works for MIDI files but I get nothing when loading pages containing the tag with Waves. Is this just a feature not supported by Safari or is there something I can do about it? The tag I...

Well I need to get my iPod Mini fixed. I had posted a thread about it on here before. I need to know if I can take my iPod to any authorized Apple retailer such as CompUSA. The nearest Apple store is almost an hour away and CompUSA is only 15 minutes. Will CompUSA be able to fix my iPod (or...

It seems like this question is mostly game oriented so I figured this was the right forum for it. Anyway, I purchased C&C Generals with my Mac about a year ago. (iMac G4, 1Ghz, 256MB RAM) It was fun but I had to keep the graphics down for a good framerate. Then the glorious day of RAM...

Hey everyone! I was given a new iPod mini as a Christmas present a few months ago and, being a musician, was thrilled with it. But I noticed over time that the battery life seemed to shorten. I expected it would do so, as we all know, because batteries naturally lose their capacity as they are...

Hey everyone. I was going to record an awesome song today on Garageband with my guitar going through a Monster Cable 1/8" to 1/4" adapter and into an iMic but it doesn't work. All I get is a quite white noise. That's a bummer. I don't know what happened. I haven't used the iMic in a while but...

Hi all, I've had this Epson CX5400 for about 10 months now and it's been pretty much problem free. Well, here's the problem I'm having. I bought some cheap unofficial cartriges for it one day because they are cheap and cheap is good when you don't have money. Until your printer stops printing...

I've been using Safari for a very long time now, probably since it came out a few years ago and I have never had a problem such as this. For some reason, every single page I go to with Safari can't be opened. I get, "Safari can't connect to the server,"–the message I get when I try to open a...

Hey all. Well, I just bought a new iMac G4 15" 1GHz and I have encountered no problems with it and find it to be a truly great machine. But there is one thing that is really bothering me. A noise. I don't know what it is but every few minutes, I can hear a very strange noise, not one I would...

Alright. Well here's the deal. We are using our old G4 Cube in the bookstore at church so people can hear some of the songs from CD's so they can sample them before they buy them. The G4 runs OS X 10.2 and iTunes 3.0. Now, the problem is, we want to lock iTunes open so people don't quit it and...

This isn't a problem that inhibits my use of my iMac but it seems that most of the time when I'm ejecting the CD, the drive spits out only some of the CD and continues to make that eject noise for a few more seconds and then sucks it back in. Sometimes it gives me enough to grab onto and pull...

Does anyone know of a control panel that can put shadows on finder windows or make the menu bars transparent when inactive like in OSX? Just wondering if anyone knew of one. -Mike
