  • Okay. I found the AIM website and forwarded it on to my father in-law. Hopefully that will work. Having never used AIM or AOL, I had no idea AIM was a free download. I thought it required an AOL account. Apple's site doesn't highlight that on…
  • Thanks. And crap. Now I need to get them a .mac account. Guess I'll go with the 60-day trial to see if they think video conferencing is worth it. I wish you didn't need a .mac account (or AOL) to make this thing work. I would really like a wi…
  • Quote: Originally posted by mynameis I would be awesome if they could just sell the internal bluetooth adapters as an aftermarket accessory so I didn't have to custom order it. I ordered a 20" with bluetooth on 10/3 shipping 11/2. The ship d…
  • Yes. You can add an email only account for $10. This gets you a separate email address. See the .mac website.
  • So who makes the RAM used in the iMac G5? Micron, Samsung, Hitachi, etc? Does Apple use a single supplier for each model or multiple suppliers?
  • I just orderd the iM3 speakers from Alter Lansing. Their website claims 24 hours with four AA batteries. Any comment on this battery claim? True or not?
  • You think people and loud and inconsiderate at the movies in the States, you should try India. Every movie I've been to here is filled with ringing cell phones and people talking. Indians do not turn off their cell phones in the theater, and every…
  • I'm satisfied with the feature set of iMovie and iDVD, although I'm not a heavy user of either. I don't use Garageband. iPhoto needs a couple of refinements. I'd especially like to see nested folders and nested keywords. In addition a few addi…
  • BTW, where in Asia are you? Just curious.
  • Apple's KB article on defragging is less than a ringing endorsement. It's not until the next to last paragraph that Apple grudgingly acknowledges that there might be limited circumstances where you may see an improvement in performance from defragg…
  • How do you know that the built-in defrag won't cut it? It seems to me we've been over this topic repeatedly, and the repeated conclusion is that you do not need to defrag OS X. See the most recent thread on this: http://forums.appleinsider.co…

  • Are you sure it's not something simple like displaying the drive icon on your desktop. I'm not in front my mac right now, but I think if you go to view/preferences on the desktop, there's a check-box for this. Does the external drive appear in t…

  • Quote: Originally posted by xsmi If there is an Apple Store in your area I would take it in have them take a look at it. They should have some Hard Disk utilities to get a quick diagnosis. If there isn't one, try a local Mac Specialist usually in…
  • I don't believe there is a way to set the time zone other than selecting one of the cities from the list. Living in India, I have the same problem as you, since India is GMT +5.5 hours. And don't forget Nepal, which is GMT +5.75 hours. Neither of…
  • Sounds like esophogeal reflux, which you can treat with Xantac. My kid had it. You couldn't touch her for an hour after eating or she'd vomit on you. Anyway, don't rely on the chat boards for medical advice. Go see a doctor. If you've got ref…
