Hello, I tend to work a lot in the xterm. After long hours, I find that the white background can be quite tiring on the eyes. Can anyone please suggest something, a background/text color combination for less strain on the eyes. I know that this can be largely a matter of preference, but I...

Hello all In my work I need to use few xterms and xgterms. On a linux machine ( at work ), the xgterm defaults with a different background from the normal terminal. On my macbook, they have the same white "face", which often confuses me about which ones are which, so I would like to make them...

Thank you very much ( last question, i promise ). Is it dangerous to live the battery in the lap top ( or harmful to the computer) as I don't want to leave a hole in the back of it, or should I dispose of it even before I decided ( or find the time ) to look for a replacement battery? Can...

So its definitely dead? I was confused why is then the light on the battery always on? Cheers

Hello, I have a 4 and 1/2 year old MacBook, 1,83GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB ram, OS X 10.4.11. Few days ago, the battery died(?) while the charger was connected. Now, the system says I have no battery, even though the battery attached. The interesting thing is that, one of the 5 lights on the...

Thank you all. In case I decided upgrade to something newer in terms of hardware ( new macbook ), can you in a simple way describe the difference between intel core 2 duo, i3 and i5 processors. How much difference they make in everyday use ( exclude gaming ). Is it worth it ( long term ) going...

Thank you very much guys! Satcomer, your geeky solution worked to a degree. I can now connect to my wireless network, but the signal strength is about 50% less then it used to be, say 1 year ago. The signal still drops to the very minimal level of connection after 10 mins of connection time...

Hello! I have a MacBook ( purchased in 2006 ), 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB RAM, everything else is standard. OS X is version 10.4.11. Some people might find it weird, but am perfectly happy with this OS version, and my sister runs flawlessly for all my uses. However, I finally reached the...

Hello, I have the same problem as the original poster. I have 2006 MacBook, 1.81 GHz Intel Core Duo, OS X version 10.4.11 ( outdated I know.. ) In my case, when I go to System Preference -> Network -> Airport, I don't see any (-) signs anywhere ( I have turned off my wireless card ). Can you...

I apologists straight away if this have been covered recently, but i need to ask I have MacBook with Intel Core Due Processor, 2 GB ram. What is the average temperature CPU temperature for standard usage ( I know that standard usage is very arbitrary, and by this I assume safari, iTunes and...

Hey dudes! I once got the same problem. It's not software issue it's the hardware. It's a contact thingy. Thy plugging headphones ( or speakers ). See if those work. If those work, the unplug them very carefully, in a way that the contact sensor notices that you have nothing plugged in. I...

I am a physics undergrad, and I always need some data analysis tool. Excel was always recommended, so I used 2004 version for over a year now. It's the only microsoft app I got, and it worked ok. Then the version 2008 came out, and I thought to give it a try. I got the normal pack, even...

Update: Also, there is a red light coming out of the place where one plugs in the headphones

I have a MacBook with OS X 10.4.9 Today I plugged in my headphones ( so I wont disturb others near by me while listening to music ), and all was fine. Later on, when I removed the headphones, the built in speakers were not working. When I try to change the volume i got this sign saying that the...

Hello, I just seek advice. I have a relatively new ( 5 months old ) MacBook 13'' 1.83 Intel Core Duo, 512 Ram, and I really really would like to run Maya 8.5. But with my configuration I am a bit worried if it would work ( I am not worried if it would work smoothly, as long as it works! )...
