  • i have a white imac late 2006 (Intel C2D) it's been pretty much running everyday since the day. i probably restart it or turn it off over night once a month. doesn't really do much but download the frequent video encoding over night. no heating…
  • if you have quicktime pro, you can do it there as long as you have the codecs for quicktime. or try this.... -install perian (codec package for quicktime) -drag AVI movie to itunes -right click on the movie and there should be an option that s…
  • I'm pretty sure macxpress is not correct. What i was told is that the leopard disk contains all the drivers you'll ever need. I've installed it successfully on an old G3 imac, intel white imacs, g4 imacs, MB's, G4 MBP with the SAME disk. I've a…
  • which browser are you using? i don't think it's keychain, it depends on what browser you're using Go to the options, security, look for passwords section under the security tab.
  • ya it works almost like the iphone. turn off the monitor by pressing the button on the top left and turn it back on. this is the only thing that will change. unless if you're playing music, it will show the album art if it has one. Quote…
  • did u show the genuis bar at apple store that it doesn't want to take the leopard disk? that's really weird cause i was just going to suggest to reinstall your OS (make sure you backup everything first of course). if you ever get the leopard c…
  • glad that fixed your problem. next time, try using VLC (www.videolan.org/vlc), this would play almost any video that your quicktime doesn't have the codec for.
  • ya, like clairejr said, backup ur whole drive with timemachine. if something goes wrong, timemachine backup will return EVERYTHING back to normal. and about your iphoto, that's the correct "file". if you want to see the actual files, right clic…
  • you should definitely wait. only 1 more week! but as a few people already mentioned. it all depends on what you're going to use it for AND what you have already. and i dono if u typed it wrong, the iMac is more expensive than the mini. the …
  • ya. u should wait till next week. once the new ones come out, you can choose from that or they might still sell the current versions for cheaper. which type are you gearing towards?
  • why don't u try the 10.5.6 update? make sure you download the combo update from apple's website, not the one from your apple button.
  • oh wait, i think cyko95 is right. if you run bootcamp assistant again, there should be an option to delete the windows partition and bring it back to normal.
  • go to disk utility then go to your harddrive. click on "186.3 GB Hitachi" NOT the "Macintosh HD" i think you choose the second tab on the top? the one where you can see paritions click your osx partition (not the gray box) on the right side…
  • you're not looking for the info but i'll give it to u anyway mother boards are swappable but with the same models. all macs except for the mac pro (tower) has all the parts builting - cpu, vid card, sound card, everything. it's just one board.…
  • if you get roxio toast, it's easy step by step. you just drag the movie to roxio toast. make sure you choose "dvd movie", not burn "data".
  • addabox has a good point. your ram might be dying. if you need to get stuff out of it, you can also use "target disk mode". connect firewire cable to two macs and hold T while booting on the mac you want as a slave. try this first if your hard…
  • jsut download the newest version of vlc. that problem is not fixed with older versions. also, if you dig thru the advanced preferences, you can find an option to turn the other displays black. useful for me because i connect my imac to my sammy…
