  • They're not hiding because folders are a part of Finder, and unless you have another app open at the time (which you likely don't), Finder is the only "application" running and can't be hidden. Unfortunately, there's no way to get around this, besid…

  • Either of those should work. Pretty much anything works, as long as the heavier chips come first on either card. Are you sure you've got fully buffered ECC memory?
  • Then you might have to experiment a little. I've seen both of these configurations work: Daughtercard A Slot 1: 4GB Slot 2: 4GB Slot 3: -- Slot 4: -- Daughtercard B Slot 1: 1GB Slot 2: 1GB Slot 3: -- Slot 4: -- --OR-- Daughtercar…

  • Is this Mac Pro using DDR2-667, DDR2-800, or DDR3-1066 memory?
  • There are a few mice out there that use a touchpad instead of a wheel for scrolling. I used one a while back, and although I can't remember the make or model, it wasn't impressive.

  • Quote: Originally Posted by FuturePastNow That's called a MXM card, by the way, and there are several standard sizes. Ahh, that I was not aware of. I've only really worked on Apple hardware, and they don't label it as such.

  • I wouldn't call Time Machine a joke for a home user. CCC is handy for a tech (but I've just gone back to Disk Utility at this point), but for a home user, Time Machine is the best thing I've seen out there. Not to mention, I frankly don't recomme…
  • http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9...mco=MjE0NTg5MQ Apple's Mini-VGA to Video (Composite/S-Video) adapter. Use an existing (or sold separately) composite or S-Video cable, and you should be all set.
  • Best way I'd recommend is getting ahold of (purchase or borrow) an external enclosure for your original internal HD. Boot your MBP from the restore DVD, attach the "new" external HD (enclosure + internal HD), and use the onboard Disk Utility to rest…
