I've just bought a beautiful new Dell U2913UM monitor for use with my Mac Pro which has only DVI outs. The 2560 x 1080 resolution setting in the system prefs is very blurry and Dell don't issue drivers for Mac OS. To cure this, do I need to install a display port graphics card and if so...

I've read about this happening somewhere but can't find any info. My MacBook Pro screen occasionally goes blank...often when I ask it to enter expose. Cannot retrieve it, requiring a force restart. I've also noticed that I'm, spending a LOT more time waiting for apps to open (or restore)...

Hi, I'm trying to restore my old iMac G4 1Gb 15" to sell as it's in fine shape...but it will not boot from the (Leopard disk in the) disk drive. Is there a way I can do this with an external firewire? I've lost the original install disks too. That's why I'm trying Leopard. Suppose I could...

I realize this is a hardware query BUT I have a G4 1.25 Dual Power PC and I've added a 320Gb ATA drive as the system drive. All seems fine except that in Disk Utility the drive appears RED and it says ' This drive has reported a fatal hardware error to Disk Utility" It won't let me format the...

I've decided I am going to replace my existing 120Gig drive in my MacBook Pro 15" 2.33 Intel with a new Western Digital 320Gig. I use the thing so intensely, I never have any free space. I've got the drive but want to ensure as perfect a clone as possible. How should I go about this. I do have...

Had a few issues with a couple of (Glyph) drives which are clearly corrupted. I booted with Disk Warrior and attempted a repair but it says error 2155 unable to repair as the disk is too badly damaged. Disk Utility verifies OK. Anyone got any suggestions as to how to clean up this disk. I've...

I have a Glyph GT Key drive (160Gig, 40Gb free) which suddenly one morning was unrecognisable by the Mac G4 and indeed any other Mac. Disk Utility sees the drive as unformatted and Disk Warrior will not see it at all. Anyone think there's any hope without sending it away for recovery?

I've got an extremely noisy fan in my MacBook Pro. It's pretty obvious the bearing has gone. Replacement is the simple solution I hear you say. BUT, I have to hand over the computer for a turnaround perion of up to ten days (quoted). Apple won't allow any service centre to order the part unless...

Hi, It seems one of my Mac Book pro Cooling fans has either slipped out of allignment or has developed a bearing fault because it's become very noisy. Twisting the chassis slightly just changes the sound but doesn't stop it. I had a good look inside but couldn't see any thing wrong. Is there a...

Mac OS 10.4.8 MacBook Pro Mail app. This could be stupidly simple but I haven't found a way to change the image that gets sent with every e-mail I send. You know, the one in the top right hand corner of the e-mail header. And how does one create different images for different accounts? It...
