As with most things Mac - I've had the money issue where I am currently unable to update my Macbook Pro - but also don't have enough free space currently to update the OS. Because of this issue - I have had a conflict between DropBox - whom I use, and of course pay for, storage to mitigate...

I downloaded a photoshop tutorial video and the guy was using what looked like a drawing tablet and a stylus to make selections and even to apply effects and so on. Though he was using a mac system I'm sure i could still get those that work on the pc. Pls could anyone direct me to a site where i...

Hi All, I just picked up a Epson WF 600 "all in one" printer. Set up was clicking one button after another as Epson loaded my Mac with so much junk. I went for the option of plugging the printer into my router. Install went fine, test page was fine, I can scan..., but every time I print it...

Hi I wanted to run some benchmarks on my hardware for high-end audio, video and 3D tasks. Can anyone recommend something good that shows more detailed info than the standard activity monitor? If there is something that shows the number of files loaded, their size, hard drive info, etc. I...

My friend has a black Macbook that is extremely slow. It takes about 10 min. to boot up (literally), and when it does finally boot up, the good ol' beach ball comes up whenever I click on anything to do anything. I then tried hooking up to a new iMac as a target drive. I was able to read...

The iPod Touch has an annoying and well-documented bug of changing its clock by 5 or 6 hours whenever it's synced. I had hoped that the latest software update (v.1.1.5, which I installed today) would repair this problem, but no such luck. Has Apple repaired this in v.2.0.2, and is forcing us...

Hi there I've seen several USB barcode scanners as cheap as $25 on eBay. In the PC world these things just pretty much spew out whatever they read, and the computer treats it kind of like a keyboard. What I'm doing here, is I've got a small business which, of course, I refuse to infect...

Hi, Would it be possible and beneficial to purchase a firewire controller with RAID1 built in, create 2 RAID1 sets, then use Disk Utility to stripe them, effectively having a RAID10? I have just lost about 700 gigs of data due to the failure of a G-RAID (one of the drives failed), which is...

Hi All, I am trying to build up a MAC in my office which will connect to an Epson GT-15000 scanner. We currently have two MACs running Epsonscan software which connects to that scanner. I do not have the Media that came with the Scanner. The other MACs were setup by someone not at the...

I have a pixma 4000 and system tiger 10.4.8. I have done all system upgrades but want to use the proprietory printer software because it keeps track of ink usage and because it prints in gray scale easily thus saving ink. I downloaded and installed new drivers but nothing changed. Can anyone...
