  • hmmm, i wonder if this is going to show up in the tiger software update? its not over here...i was on the phone with apple earlier today complaining about my powerbook warpage (seems like i'm finally getting some attention paid to my case) and whil…
  • i'm on a g4 1.5ghz powerbook, and i'm less than impressed with the fluidity of 720p playback. quite choppy at any size.
  • or you guys could just go to the quicktime movie trailer page and check out all the h.264 trailers they've released....i've been having fun with them all day!
  • but you have to restart the dock to get the new widgets to show up. easiest way is to load up terminal and type "killall Dock"
  • i also lost six months worth of email...strange because the emails from the last week carried over, as did my gmail account settings, but everything else disappeared.
  • i've been messing around with the permissions...it seems as if setting the owner of the music folder as "system" allows me to change the track names...
  • just get office for the mac. its much more usable. i started working on macs six years ago and haven't looked back. no problems yet.
  • i agree that the UI could get an overhaul, but its usefulness more than makes up for it....use it all the time.
  • i'm fond of the colored apple logo. i performed this mod on my old iBook, which was very easy...i'm wagering that it probably would be too difficult to be worth trying on the powerbook, lest i bend metal...but if anyone knows of an easy way, what i…
  • i got it!! for those of you wondering, if you ever get something stuck in your outbox that freezes mail.app, just go into the library folder in the home directory, find the mail folder, and trash the "outbox.mbox" viola, mail restored!
  • i'm insulted! thanks for the reply though, yes i rebooted to no avail. there's a 250MB file in my outbox that i can't delete!
  • yeah, rebooting in open firmware and typing "reset-nvram" then "reset-all" usually always fixes really bizarre problems such as this. once i updated an iBook to OSX Panther from OS9 to discover that it wouldn't pull an IP no matter what i did (queue…
  • that card is incompatible with 2X AGP slots, which the sawtooth has. only 4X and above. the 466 mhz digital audio power mac was the first mac to have the 4X AGP slot..so it would work fine on that system with a slight modification to pins 3 and 11.…
  • its too bad about the Apple branded in-ear headphones...they constantly slip out of my left ear. they do sound superb when they form a seal, but you have to use your hands to hold them in your ears for that...
  • i have no idea why i didn't think of the smart playlist, so thanks, and this is why appleinsider rocks...if i were to ask that question at Spymac, i'd have to weed through 28 flame posts before i got to actual, useful information...
  • here's what we use it for: hosting the department's calendars, website, and file maker pro database. that's it. i'm thinking the B&W with a memory and HD upgrade will be sufficient to run OSX server, right?
  • you'll void your warranty if you install RAM yourself, just remember that.
  • well, i already went through every song manually, and i too saved over 100mb...i'll try the multiple song trick and hopefully that'll snag any i missed..
  • i'm voting for a fake, for one simple reason...if it were the real iMac, no one would be able to see it by now. apple legal would've had it taken down. think about it, apple is not about to let another new iMac design leak before they can officiall…
  • i forgot to mention that i'm using the most up-to-date version of iMovie...would removing the program and reinstalling it help? i think i'm going to try that because i really need to get this movie on tape!!
