I have to switch back and forth from "Date Created" and "Date Added" to find things added recently. Any help with this is greatly appreciated as I download a lot of PDF's and docs I need...

    15'' Powerbook G4 Aluminum will not start

    Oh no, I wasnt suggesting you let them fix it. If you get an experienced Genius, sometimes they will give you an unofficial diagnosis. I agree it is far too expensive for just a diagnosis.

    isight startup problem

    Sounds like a firmware malfunction. Did you buy this before or after Leopard came pre-installed? I had a lot of problems with things like this updating to Leopard on my Tiger macbook.

    Applecare Replacement Question

    "So let it run even twice, until you get the courier box at your door." I was told to supply my own box and apply the emailed shipping label to send the machine back BEFORE the replacement would be released to ship... which i thought was odd having done a few DIY replacements and such. After...

    Leopard Finder Viewing Preferences??

    Hey, I don't know if i was dreaming, but i seem to remember Tiger somehow knowing all of my choices on whether i wanted list, column, or thumbnail views for each folder. For example, i would have a small list view of folders on my HD, but when i opened a new one, it automatically changed to...
