Hi guys, Wondering if any of you can help with my little 'problem'. I'm using Mail with a POP3 account and recently changed the 'Full Name' field to read my actual name as opposed to the name of my company. However, since changing the name I now have two names in the 'From' field when...

Hi there, I woke up this morning to find my MacBook Pro had crashed somehow, so I had to do a hard shut down and power up again. No problems. However, now when I have Mail open, it shows that I have 1 new email, yet I can't find it anywhere - it's not in any of my inboxes or anything...

Hi there, I have a script that i've been sent to run which has the file extension .pl - I have downloaded Pearl as I was instructed to but I have no idea how to actually run these scripts. I've never done anything with scripts before so please excuse my ignorance. When I double click the...

Hi guys, I've been having a problem with my iPod for a long time but have just put up with it, but now it's really starting to annoy me. Basically, I want to have my iPod setup so that when I connect it via USB it automatically syncs to my iTunes library and updates it with all the latest...

Yep, that was the first thing I did once it started up! Thanks man! :)

Thanks a lot mate, that worked a charm! It semmed to be a kernel panic but booting into Single User mode and running that task sorted it out straight away! Thanks for your help, i'll keep that in mind for when it happens next time! haha

Hey guys, Got a G4 (i think) at work that won't boot. I'm not sure on the specifications as I can't get into OS X to find out and as it's a fairy old machine, no one at works knows what it is either! When I turn the machine on, i get the apple logo and the spinning 'wheel' but after a few...

Thanks for the help guys... I took my laptop to the guys who fixed it and they replaced the logic board again. All seems to be ok now, i hope! Apart from one thing i've never seen before... When I boot up my macbook pro now, rather than the apple logo appearing straight away, i get a folder...

After leaving the laptop to rest for a while, I managed to get it to boot up only to have it shut down after a few minutes. I did notice though that the fans were running at full speed, even when it wasn't doing anything. The laptop wasn't getting hot but the fans just seemed to go at full speed...

Hi guys (and girls) I've recently been having alot of problems with my 15" MacBook Pro. It's been crashing a lot and not booting up properly when I restart from the apple menu. After doing a fresh reinstall of OS X and that having no affect, I took it to my closest Apple Service Provider...

Thing is, i can't do anything when it crashes so I can't open Console to see whats going on - all I can do is a hard shut down :( There's no added RAM and I have over 15% of free space on my hard drive. I hope there's a way of fixing this without having to reinstall! lol

Hi ya! Over the past couple of weeks my MacBook Pro has started crashing quite a lot. Most of the time it's when I'm doing general day to day things like using Safari or Mail. Other times it's been when I've been working on something in Logic or Ableton Live 6... To be honest, it's quite...

Thanks guys, thats a big help! I'll get on the case with OnyX tomorrow! Giaguara, it could have something to do with the amount of free space on my HD actually. I've got a 80GB drive and only 4.19GB available at present. I've been meaning to move loads of samples over to my external drive for...

Hi guys, I've noticed that recently, over the past few weeks, my MacBook Pro has been getting quite slow at doing most things! I use Logic Pro a lot and that has started becoming very slow also! I have recently installed some new plugins and virtual instruments for logic but I can't see...

Haha, ok so it's probably a bad thing that I've had my Macbook Pro since August and never repaired permissions?!?! I'll get on that tomorrow then! Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Hi guys, I've heard a lot of people talk about repairing permissions on Macs. I just wondered if you could tell me when it's wise to do this? Is it something you should do once in a while? Should you only do it if something goes wrong? I'm fairly new to the world of the Mac so I'm not sure...

I read somewhere that the 10.4.9 update now provides support for Sony Ericsson K800i... I have tried running iSync a few times to add my K800i as a new device but both times it's not found anything! I have made sure bluetooth is turned on and set to discoverable on the phone but it still won't...

Ok, i'll try this! Though I'm not to keen on re-importing my songs as I have everything arranged by date added as I get a lot of promo's through to this computer. Would it solve anything if i reinstalled iTunes and backed up my library file? Do you know what could cause this to happen? One...

Just went to open iTunes today - i got the spinning beachball and nothing happened. I tired to Force Quit but that didn't work so I went to the task manager and tried to Force Quit from there... After a few minutes it eventually quit. I tired again and it did exactly the same! Any idea whats...

I have a 15" MacBook Pro with a Focusrite Saffire LE connected to the Firewire port that I'm using for basic production at home. I keep having the same problem thats really annoying me... Sometimes when I quit an application, for some reason the Firewire connection drops. It wouldn't be so bad...
