I was thinking about selling my early 2008 Mac Pro and getting an iMac... but realized that I really like having some expandability. So instead of selling for an iMac I decided to upgrade a couple things, boot drive and graphics card.
1. SSD. My main issues are figuring out the SSD. I've been reading threads about installing a SSD and frankly I'm a bit confused about some things. TRIM? Why do there seem to be so many firmware updates? Possible issues with Snow Leopard? A lot of you seems to like OWC and OCZ.
Would it be better to hold off on this until Lion comes out? I'm perfectly capable of doing a few things to get the drive working, so that's not an issue, but things like my computer not sleeping properly or something cause of it would be.
2. Radeon 5770. Should be simple enough. I think I'll just get the Apple one, don't really want to deal with flashing and other potential issues. Students get a little discount too... so it's not quite as overpriced.....
Will it be a nice upgrade from the 8800GT?
Hoping these upgrades will keep me happy for another couple years. I've actually been really happy with my system, but I think after I got a MacBook Air going to the Mac Pro seems sluggish with everyday things (and yes I know why). I also tried playing Half-Life 2 on Steam not too long ago and the 8800GT in my system sounded like a freakin jet taking off. lol.

Interesting that your AT&T sim didn't auto switch to O2 and just charge you at the overseas rate.That is most likely because data roaming is turned off by default (and with good reason, since the roaming charges can easily add up to hundreds of dollars with just some moderate browsing). Also, I think you need to buy an additional international package in order to use the AT&T iPad plan outside the US.

ds carts can only do WEP wireless security. if your router is set to anything other than WEP your game will not connect. the dsi hardware itself can connect to other security protocols. thats how you are able to use the browser.
My router is most definitely running with WEP security, what else could be going wrong? I have never been able to connect, ever since I got the game.

Reset the SMC (see link in sig). It could be the power board is not functioning. On some MacBooks, this is a separate board.

I don't see an iTunes forum, this is about syncing, so I hope it's in the right place...
I'm trying to update my apps in iTunes (latest version), I click ok about age restricted blah blah, then I get this:
"This item is temporarily unavailable.
Please try again later."
:mad:item?? what item? I'm trying to update my apps!! WTF?!? If there is a problem with one app, wouldn't it say so? If there is another problem, why am I getting this error???:confused:
I'm trying to update my apps so I can sync my ipad & iphone!

I have a G5, so no Intel, can't speak for an Intel machine, just answering his question. Because a Macbook has 2 cores, it's best to work with two instances of folding, not 4. You can do that, but it goes slower and you might not finish a WU within its deadline.

So, I am visiting Las Vegas and went to the Apple store at the Forum Shops inside Caesar's Palace. I was told that even though the shops open at 6am, and the Apple Store opens at 7am on the 24th, that they would not allow walk ins to get phones until 10am. Can anybody else confirm this? I'm hoping that is a store policy and not a nationwide Apple policy. The store did say that they would have two separate lines: a reservation line and then a walk in line. Doesn't make sense to have a line assemble for four hours and just let them stand there. If that is the case, then I'm just gonna try an AT&T store on the 29th. Best of luck everybody! Almost 24 hours away!

I bought a Macbook 4 years ago and it has OS 10.4. Now I have an iMac and new Air but use the Macbook around the house at times. I went to download a Kindle app. and it needs at least 10.5. How do I move up to 10.5? Do I need to buy it and where would I do that?:confused:

Well in iMovie it would be pretty simple, import your song and pictures of choice and just click and drag the pictures and song into your timeline and go from there. I'm not sure how exactly you plan on doing it to the beat without a more professional editing software- somewhere along the lines of Final Cut Pro (or Express).

My 12PB has done a little of this since day one. Along with every laptop I've owned. I believe this has to do with the phosphorus in the backlight needing to reach a critical excitement mass - samer thing with CRT's needing it. Streetlights have the same effect, though they're argon or mercury vapor.
It's normal.

OK so I plugged my 4.3.1 iPhone 4 into the dock today and got the incompatibility popup. Unlocked the device, dismissed the popup, and charging/music playback still works.

Hi guys,
The hard drive on my MacBook got busted, so I had to buy a new one.
Usually, after mounting the new hard drive into my Mac I would just insert the OSX install cd to the optical drive and start installation. Unfortunately, my optical drive is broken and does not read any cd's.
What I had in mind was trying to get the operation system Installed from a USB flash. From what my google thought me I found out that I need to have a dmg file of OSX (got it), a 8 gb usb flash drive (got it) and disk utility access, so that I can restore the drive ( or something like that, I didn't fully get it).
The only problem is- this is my only Mac, all other computers I have are pc, so I dont have disk utility.
Is there any way in which I can do the necessary step that is done by Disk utility on a PC?
Thanks in advance.

The guides category needs some better organization IMO.
We should decide if we want almost everything in sub-categories or most of it just in the guide category itself. I think having it half-half just confuses users and makes articles harder to find.
We should use the distinction between subcategories and the actual category to distinguish between more "important" and less "important" guides.
In an attempt to make the Mac Beginner's Guide more prominent I added a sub-category but I don't know whether this would be the best way to go about it, so before I do anything else I think we should talk about how we want to organize this category.
So feel free to delete the subcategory I created until we figure something out.
