Did you try booting from the HD like what Mr.H suggests? This will boot your iMac to exactly your MBP. I'm not sure why your user folder is missing but you can try a recovery program to retrieve your files? As for the old MBP, if you know it's …

If it's used, shouldn't be activated already? If not, the only way you can activate it is with an ATT sim or an address book sim (don't use this option if you eventually want FaceTime to work) You're buying the phone yourself, they wouldn't even…

Hhhmm, I was just about to upgrade. Are you both using OSX Snow Leopard? Is this happening to everyone? Haven't experienced so much problems you mentioned from any Apple apps.

Just working with Tallest Skil idea, how about you create a "silent" ringtone to simulate silent and set each contact with a different ring tone. ~Record with Quicktime (cover mic so that it doesn't record anything), don't make it longer than 30 …

Are you sure it doesn't do it for your school account as well? When you click on the main one labelled "Inbox" it will show you all emails from both gmail and school. When you collapse that (by clicking on the triangle) it will break it down to …

I don't think there's a way to disable Apple Mail. Why don't you do what I do and use Apple Mail to collect and send your gmail emails? Just open it and follow instructions on how to set it up Apple Mail with your Gmail account. Very easy to …

try poking around the router's settings--look for broadcast speeds. Try the different settings maybe 802.11b/g should help. If the firmware update doesn't work, is there other computers connected to the router by wireless? Just trying to narr…

I'm pretty sure it's the first Intel iMac--i remember getting excited about bootcamp and not have to give up CounterStrike (fps game). I'm thinking of just replacing my 250mb with a 1TB one. Any suggestions on a brand + model for a quick seek ti…

i was about to mention the same thing i hope you still have warranty on it.

I do have an external drive, actual I have three 500gb. You're right though--it would be a pain, but it would be cool. I do want to change my internal hard drive in the near future, just taken up photography as a hobby and using iPhoto. Losin…

before seeing the grey screen, did you try holding the ALT button and leaving the Leopard installation CD in the drive?

Try zapping your pram. ~Press and hold the Cmd + Option + P + R keys. You have to press this BEFORE the gray screen appears. ~Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time. Release the keys.

the only reason why i use bootcamp is to play games. anything that requires high graphics, use bootcamp. if not, just use vmware.

just copy the whole folder (i think Alex got it right - ~/Library/Mail), run macmail, look for "Rebuild" in one of the menus

could it just be a codec problem? use VLC player and see if it does the same (test with the same movie) if you still wanna use QT, install perian (a bunch of codecs)

maybe a hardware problem with the keyboard. probably defect part or something loose. why don't you make an appointment and bring it in to the mac genius? is there still warranty on it?

i've had a similar issue with bootcamp before. and of course, i use timemachine and tell it not to backup my music (which took a lot of space). and i found that my burned copy of windows was the problem. got a working one and working well with bo…

hhmm i'm not sure how to transfer the files. i'll check on that. but if you get leopard, the transfer would be easy . you can also connect the two with firewire cable, turn the G4 into firewire mode and the G4 turns into an external harddrive in…
