To clarify neither of these are my computers. This family currently has the windows 98 computer but wants a new laptop and I'm recommending an iBook. They want to know if this is one of the things they'll be able to do. They want to keep the windows 98 computer (God knows why).
tell them about this scenario. If they get a new laptop with windows xp lets say. Both your computers are going to on the same lan. Since windows98 computers cannot be patched for security update it is very possible for it to get an internet worm. If the worm is unleashed on the network and your XP machine isn't patched or the firewall fails, you just got your xp machine toasted because they keep that 98 machine on the network.

Just bought a Just-Mobile AluPen capacitive stylus (http://www.xtand.net/alupen.html) that I plan on using for my iPad/iPhone, but wanted to give it a shot on my MacBook Pro's trackpad as well (same capacitive-touch technology).
The problem is that with the MacBook, when you're using a drawing app like Pixelmator, it waits for click input to start drawing "ink" to the canvas. It's not like an iPad where you're either drawing (contact on screen) or you're not (no contact).
How do I get this stylus to work intuitively on my MacBook the way it works on my iPad? I don't want to be clicking the trackpad when I'm drawing. It distorts things and degrades the stylus's tip much faster because of all the added pressure.
There's got to be a way...
PS
I tried enabling "Tap to click" and "Dragging" in the Trackpad settings pane but those don't work intuitively either. There's got to be a better solution.

The GIMP still requires X11, but it's pretty painless to install using gimp.app from gimp-app.sourceforge.net (http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/).

you're restoring to an earlier OS, thus the issue you are describing. Go spend $30 for 10.6 at an apple store, upgrade to the latest OS revision (currently 10.6.7) and then do the time machine restore. You will again get a kernel panic if you keep using the original macbook restore DVD (it will either have tiger or leopard on it, neither will work if you previously had SL)
on the other hand, if you have an enclosure for your old hard drive (the smaller 120GB one) you could simply do a clone to the larger one using carbon copy cloner.

I am trying to get into DFU mode, but my power button doesn't work... I tried using the wiki and none of the methods suggested works...
I don't care about my band loss or anything, I just need to restore this goddam phone so I can get another one. I've spent 8 hours on this... ANYONE have any solution.
I am using tinyumbrella, it gets through the first part fine then says: Preparing Iphone for restore, in which it stays there for 5 minute and gives the error 1604.
Is it the lack of DFU mode killing me here? Or what shall I do. I can't get into DFU mode cause of this stupid damn power button :(

Are you using the latest Adium beta, the current release 1.4.1 has major issues with msn.
There is a beta 1.4.2b1 that fixes many issues.
Download it here:
http://beta.adium.im/
Since its beta, i find it very glitchy...
I've had these troubles for YEARS with Adium. Fortunately, I just gave up on using anything but Adium for my MSN-ing, and now that MSN is slowly dying off (at least amongst my friends), I've actually moved to iChat w/Facebook chat instead.
Seems that's what all the cool kids are doing these days.

Can it handle it? Yes, it will run. However will it run slower? Yes I would expect it to run slower. If this is your primary usage of a computer, I'd go with the quad-core i7 15" MBP.

I had a massage last night and this track was playing (Raindrops Into Rivers):
There's a really good 'happy ending' joke in there.

I know nothing about iMovie but does it show the audio waveform in the audio track in the timeline? Cutting to the beat is easy with the waveform. It is also essential for making quality loops in songs or trimming parts away and recutting the song to make it shorter.

I am a complete novice when it comes to video. :eek: A friend and I bought the complete 24 Hours DVD series (Series 1 and 2) and my friend ripped the whole series to what I assume is the standard DVD format (e.g. 24_SEASON_1-DISK_1, with both AUDIO_TS and Video_TS subfolders, but the audio subfolders are empty). The whole series takes up 100GB! of space that I do not have on my older MBP (my friend has a Mac Pro with 4 HDs so he is not concerned about the space issue). Can someone advise me as to how to convert these to a more compact yet fairly high quality format? I tried using my copy of WinX HD Video Converter for Mac, but it only allows me to get separate mp4 files (other formats available too) for each segment in the video subfolder, e.g. VTS_01_0.VOB, etc., up to VTS_01_5.VOB and the whole series would be too cumbersome having it split up like that.
As I have no experience in this field I don't know which software would be best for this, or how to go about it. Any advice appreciated.

But I should be able to turn ON OpenGL in Photoshop, correct ?
Yes, you can turn that on with any card. But generally it just causes things to work slower and more crashy, so Adobe doesn't turn it on.

Been there, done that. :)
Look at Activity Monitor to see what processes you have running. Be sure you're looking at "All Processes" and not just "My Processes". Also, use MRoogle (http://mroogle.edesignuk.com/) to search the forum for other threads with this same question, to see what others found to be the cause.

Copy your receipt, send it, and keep the original. :)
What about the UPC codes, would I need them if I wanted to bring the computer into an Apple Store or something?

I accidentally deleted a bunch of really important files while the phone was on (using Cyberduck) by not noticing that besides the file I selected being highlighted, two other large and important files were also highlighted. By the time I realized what was happening, it was a major ooops moment. I went to restore it and it wouldn't come out of bootlogo. However, after about half an hour of messing with it, I got it to restore. I think, unless you crush it or drop it on something hard enough to break connections, or submerge it, the phone will always be restorable. That is, unless you break a port somehow and can't connect it to your computer.

I think all iPhones are unlockable arent they? Why not just buy a new one?

Please HELP! I have been racking my brain about this for way too long. I am trying to set a default location and it's giving me an error saying...
File "MEDIA:iMovie Projects:" wasn't found
And the folder is definitely there. Have tried with and without using "as alias"
Without "as alias" it tells me
Can't make "MEDIA:iMovie Projects:" into type alias
Here is my code.
set project to choose file with prompt "Locate the PROJECTS file path and click OK" default location "MEDIA:iMovie Projects"

Hey guys,
I sold my refurb 24" ACD on ebay and it was working perfectly. I packed it up and shipped it out.
A week later the guy that bought it said that the fan was not working and there is a red vertical line down the right side of the monitor. I filed a claim with UPS but they denied the claim, because, it seems to me they just dont pay claims and insurance is worthless. (They said it could not be proved the damage happened in transit, which I understand but WHY OFFER INSURANCE!!!!!)
Anyhow, I have an appointment with a "genius" tomorrow and was curious if anyone experienced this and what I should be expecting.
PS. The buyer of the ACD claimed he had another ACD and this is how he knew the fan was not running.
Thanks
