Do we really need something new every 6 mos or a year? What do you want your computer to do for you - make your breakfast, pick up your clothes from the cleaners? Nobody has to read a map anymore, talk in person to someone, call a friend etc. W…

I've got the older version of iTunes and the music files (I don't have video etc) on my old internal hard drive (which is not what I'm using in the Macbook - I'm using an external, larger drive). So I should be able to transfer the old iTunes and…

Obviously, never had to go into the Activity Monitor before. Looks OK, nothing going on that shouldn't be. Would these trojans bury themselves in the system with their "real" name like MacProtector? I probably should look up all this stuff in…

I didn't install it, I dumped it from the download folder and then emptied the trash. What are you talking about with "Activity Monitor"? Not aware of this.

Well, I got most of my files moved over using a flash drive. You're right, it's brain-dead simple. I was leery of doing the ethernet to ethernet connection because I was not sure what the Dell had on it that might mess up my Mac - it has crashed s…

I just bought a used 2007 Macbook. It's working great, but only has a total of 1GB and I would like to upgrade to a total of 2GB. I was looking on Ebay and there are some Hynix sticks, but I'm not comfortable with deciding if they are the correct …

I'm really late to this discussion, but I'm curious. Why the scolding of anyone "who partitions like this"? I'm just in the process of buying a Mac (haven't rec'd yet) and would like to know what to do, and what not to do. I will be getting a bas…

MacXpress Thanks for the info. I thought I had read something about possible Mini updates, but then the Expo came and went, and no update. But I will wait awhile to see if it occurs (I REALLY want to ditch this Dell). And as far as the RAM g…
