  • I've burned thru a couple of Belkin routers on Macs & PCs. Belkin has a nice web GUI, accessible by anything with a browser. BUT you might be better off using this: Belkin F5D7231-4 The old tried and true Linksys WRT-54g will do the same…

  • Holding the Option key at the chime shows all bootable volumes. See if the HDD shows up. Trackpad moouse click down & hold at chime will spit out the DVD. Hold C to boot from DVD at chime. See if the installer can still see the hard driv…

  • burner is likely shot. You have another Mac or access to an external drive? check out macsales.com for replacement DVD drives. There's a link to a utility that will patch OS X to recognize just about any aftermarket drive to work. Not too bad to cha…

  • It's for the firmware, the low level software that actually runs the device. There's been flash memory on electronics for some time, just in different forms and very small capacities. Be sure the computer stays on and I reccomend not doing a…

  • I've used Data Rescue from www.prosofteng.com You can try it first, if it finds your files, you can buy the key to unlock it. I would suggest if you do that, get the bundle they have with Drive Genius as well. You can also try File Salvage from…

  • the new imacs, not sure, the airport card usually has a socket, just like ram that it plugs into. Chances are one of the antennas came unplugged or has a broken wire. It should be covered under the 1 year warranty... great case to pickup applecare …

  • Yeah, too quick I bet, not long enough to do a surface scan on the drive. I almost bet it's the drive. If you have / had Applecare on any machine, you can download a disk image and burn to CD or use the TechTool Deluxe disk that came with the plan i…
    in iMac problems ? please HELP!!! Comment by kmac1036 January 2008
  • Got Applecare? If you have a work history with them or still have the plan, support should be able to sort this out. Tried going to a Apple Store or a local service center?
    in MacBook Pro EFI / Bootcamp issue... Comment by kmac1036 January 2008
  • Me personally, just about any other 22" is going to do the same thing. The OEMs get the LCDs from the same mfrs and so they all share the same native res. You're running the same native res as my 20" but just stretching the pixels another 2". Either…

  • Not offically BUT, we have a fix! http://www.xiotios.com/itimemachine.html I want to try this but don't have an extra drive right now to do it. PS: I thought the Time Capsule was a joke when this probably will do the job.

  • update: thought about this, have you just tried hitting the capture button while the cam plays? sometimes you don't get a preview but will still record and put the clips in imovie... just a thought. some cams aren't supported fully but can still ge…

  • If it's an EDU copy, then no, Abobe probably won't let you do an upgrade. All an upgrade needs is the serial key of the previous version, not the files. Why can't you install on the Intel??? I installed CS 1.1 on my MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.1 until I…
    in adobe creative suite upgrade question Comment by kmac1036 January 2008
  • What's happened to me in the past is Disk Utilility sees the device but doesn't mount the partition. In DU, hilight the partition and click the mount button. Or, I leave everything hooked up, hit the power switch on the drive box, wait 10 secs, …

  • can you export it to anything and then use iDVD (open up the advanced tree view and just drop the movie file in front of the menu so it just autoplays)?

  • What's your system / specs? Have activity monitor open and watch that to see if there's a spike in CPU useage that causes it and what it is.
