    I've got $350 to burn on my G5. What should I get?

    I'm looking to add a second drive to my dual G5 2.0 system. I've got a 250GB drive already. I'm doing quite a bit of video editing on my system and my wife is storing a lot of photos on it. I would like to get a external SATA enclosure and run RAID but I can't afford that for now. So I'm...

    I've had 5 system crashes this week

    I've applied the latest security patch. Other than that, the only thing I can think of is I've imported a lot of photos into iPhoto (iLife '04). I now have over 2100 photos in it. But all my panics have occurred when the screensaver was running or the iBook had switched to sleep mode. I'm...

    Could this be the beginning of the end for iTunes?

    http://wwww.wjla.com/news/stories/0104/121617.html More power to them. I'm all in favor of more power to the musicians, even if it means the end of iTunes as we know it. The music labels existence is threatened and I'm glad for it.

    Who actually owns Fairplay?

    Its driving me crazy. I keep hearing conflicting reports. Some say Apple won't license fairplay to other music sites or companies like Microsoft. Others say Apple only licenses fairplay. So which is it? If Apple owns fairplay, they should license it to others. Why would Steve keep this from...

    Well? Has anyone gotten their G5 yet?

    I'm dying to know how good they are. I'm looking to get one early next year (provided my wife lets me). I'm sure she will. She's just about claimed ownership of my iBook.

    My purchased music won't transfer to my iPod

    I was burning some CD's tonight and transferring them to my iPod and then I downloaded some music from Apple's Music Store. The music showed up in my library and Purchased Music list but I was unable to copy it to my iPod. Has anyone else run into this? I did a permissions repair but it...

    Are the G4 processors history?

    I saw that the G4 1.25ghz Power Macs prices are reduced. The 1.0ghz is gone and so is the 1.42ghz. This leads me to believe that Apple is reducing their stock on the G4's. Are the G5's going to replace the G4's in the iMacs and PowerBooks? Or, will Apple replenish their stock on G4's and put...

    iMac 1ghz seems extremely slow

    I talked my mom into getting an iMac a couple of months ago. My sister called me up and was complaining about how slow the computer was. I maxed out the memory in the iMac but it still seems unresponsive. It doesn't even feel any faster than my 700mhz G3 iBook. The only difference is I installed...

    Apple just doesn't get it.

    They announce the baddest computers on the planet yet price them out of most peoples reach. $1999 for entry level? Come on Steve, this isn't 1997. Have you looked at the price of PC's? You've got to stay competitive. Here's what I suggest: iMac == $999 - $1499 1.6ghz G5 == $1499 1.8ghz...

    Performance difference between retail Jaguar and pre-installed?

    I'm running an iBook G3 700mhz. I installed the retail version of Jaguar on it without the OS 9 support. My mom just bought an iMac 1Ghz and maxed out the memory. Her system doesn' feel any faster than mine. Could it have something to do with Jaguar being pre-installed? I noticed that OS 9...

    Safari lacks. Doesn't have tabs.

    Sorry if it wants to be like IE, then I want no part of it. I'll keep Chimera and Mozilla. I actually think its slower than Chimera and Mozilla too.

    I can't subscribe to iCal calendars

    I tried to subscribe to the US Holidays Calendar for my iCal but I kept getting an error message. The only thing I can think of is I'm behind a firewall here at work. I'll try again when I get home tonight. Is anybody else having this problem?

    Are new iBooks including Jaguar?

    I'm thinking about upgrading my iBook to the 700mhz iBook since its faster, I want the combo drive, and it supports QE. I'm running Jaguar on my G3 500mhz already. Do the iBooks come with Jaguar bundled or will I have to order the Jaguar update cd for $20?

    Address Book in Jaguar

    I was adding contacts to my Address Book in Jaguar and noticed that if you click on an address you have the ability to map it. I thought cool! So I did it and Internet Explorer started up with mapquest. Well and good, except I don't want to use IE, I want to use Mozilla. I even have Mozilla set...
