First off, are you using encryption at all (WEP or WPA)? If you are using WEP, the password that you would enter into the wireless settings on your mom's comp is the hexadecimal WEP key, not the password you might have used on your iBook. In the A…

I'm _pretty_ sure all the songs sold on the iTunes store are 128 kbps Protected AAC (.m4p files). I've found (in a couple instances) the song off the iTunes store sounds better than if I ripped it from the CD. I had heard that it was because the s…

Just as an aside... I was checking out Mac mini's on the Apple homepage, and I noticed that they have already replaced the wired pro mouse with the Mighty mouse under the options for mice/keyboards.

I think the big problem is that the OpenGL implementation that Blizzard is using sucks. People have bitched about this for a while, but the fact of the matter is that it just seems to run better using DirectX on Windows versus OpenGL on Mac. Alas

Or.....you can use Mail.app. When you have a message open, attach a picture. In the status bar at the bottom of the message window there will appear a drop-down menu that will allow you to compress and shrink the image if needed to facilitate th…

Run away from Norton ASAP. Get DiskWarrior. Far superior app....and it won't screw up your system.

iPods are bootable already. As the above poster noted, Apple highly recommends that you don't do that. The constant spinning a boot drive is subject to will fry such a small drive in short order.

I have never had much of an issue with any upgrade I have done. The only one I can think of was 10.2.8 before they issued the fix for it. Every other upgrade (since 10.1.2) has been fine (shrug). Don't know what to tell ya...

I bet they bundle the DVD Player update into 10.4.1. They pushed iTunes 4.8 out via SU to support the new iTunes stores and fix some security holes (i.e. probably thwart the latest DRM workaround). iTunes is high visibility, so they want everyone …

http://www.sfbags.com/products/minii...iipodpouch.htm I think the above poster thought you meant the Mac mini. One of the companies he linked too also makes this case, which I have for my own iPod mini. Works awesome! I can keep the mini, the …

It's encoded as Apple Lossless (ALAC) so that the stream can be sent encrypted to the base station. I have this happen now and then as well. Sometimes if the processor is taxed you get the skipping. The bandwidth on the regular AirPort (11 Mbps) …

I have the latest Virex (7.5.1) from .Mac on my machine (see below) and it has never caused a problem. It sounds like the Fax functionality might be suspect. If it was more random then a bad stick of RAM might be causing problem. If it begins reo…

Generally speaking, subwoofer placement can be pretty flexible. The low frequency sound it produces is omnidirectional, so as long as it is placed on a solid surface it should be fine. The two satellites will be the ones you'll fiddle with to get …

I've had FileVault on for a while through several updates (through 10.3.8 ) and never had an issue. All FileVault really affects is your Home directory (makes it an encrypted disk image instead of a folder). Non of the System files are encrypted. …

Did you try DiskWarrior? That has a great reputation among OS X disk utilities. TechTool Pro might be able to do something as well.

I think you can set separate sync prefs for each iPod. You can set up a playlist for each iPod and sync to that list to avoid overlap.
