The icon problem doesn't sound right to me. If you don't have the applications (Office etc.) the icons will show up all generic like but otherwise you have a problem. Try repairing permissions using Disk Utility in the Utilities folder in Applications. Hopefully that'll put them right.
As for the folder sorting in the finder, try sorting by type instead of alphabetically. I'm not near my Mac so I'm not sure if this will work but it will keep the folders separate from files etc and it should still keep them alphabetized in their respective groups. Fingers crossed! :)

Hi, I'm selling my 2007 White MacBook.
In line with most of the suggestions on this forum I've securely wiped the drive and done a re-install but have hit a problem.
The machine came with OS X 10.4 Tiger but I've since upgraded it to Leopard then Snow Leopard.
Ideally I'd like to give the new owner the new MacBook experience with the spinning Welcome text but I'd also like to stick them on the latest Snow Leopard.
The problem is, when I do a fresh install of Snow Leopard the machine won't have the iLife applications (they are on the original Tiger install disks).
Is there a way I can get the iLife apps on there without needing to set up an account on the machine?
If not, what's the best thing to do?
Setting up an account is something I'd rather not do (I know I'd be annoyed if I bought a second-hand MacBook and it already had an account on it).
On the other hand installing Tiger and giving them the upgrade disks also seems a bit poor too.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance.

Well if you already have bootcamp up and running, you could always just try it and see?:confused:

Regarding the subject line, can this be done? The windows 98 computer is hard wired to the router and the printer, and the iBook is wireless. The router does not have any sort of print server. Can you print from the iBook to the printer straight up? Or would something like an aiport express need to be involved?
the answer is yes you can. i just searched the forums for a little bit, most of the instruction out there is for windows xp/2000. That means you can either google for instruction. The easiest way is to get a printer server. It doesn't have to be an airport express it can be a dlink or linksys etc as long as they support appletalk which I believe they both do. With a printer server, setup time will shorter (in theory) and once you retire you windows 98 computer your'll still be able to print from your iBook. online support for windows 98 i believe will stop around June maybe longer. There isn't security fixes or patches coming out for that operating system anyways. You put your computer and data at risk just having windows 98 on there because of the worm/virus threat.

I have one. Two hard drives failed within the first year but were replaced by Apple for free and since then no problems. Other than the fact that it's a bit outdated (I want the multitouch trackpad, bigger HDD, more ram, still running leopard, etc) it's still going strong.

Hey guys
I have 2 Western Digital NAS drives attached to an Airport Extreme and shared via AFP.
The AE connects to a Powerline system and is picked up in another room by my Mac Mini.
Everything was working fine until I bought my new AE.
Now i can only see the drives on my Mac Pro (connected by ethernet to AE) and not the Mac Mini. The Mac Mini can browse the web so there's no connection problem between the AE and the mini.
Are there some settings on the AE i need to change??
Help would be greatly appreciated!

My cousin's iHome randomly stopped working a few days ago. It still charges her iPod touch but the screen on the iHome is blank and music plays through the iPod's speaker instead of the iHome's speakers. Does anyone know if this is fixable or is the thing dead? It's an iHome iP90 if that helps. I tried searching but I couldn't find anything.

Can anyone help? I outputted at HD720p, and the file ended up being around 11gb. This was for 40 minutes of footage. The total file size of the original clips is about 4gb. I then tried outputting a Quicktime movie with h264 at a 3500kb bit rate with multipass, but the resulting file was too pixellated compared to the original.

My old 400 tiBook, used to do that, it did it a little more theolder it got, the 17 does it a little, but with the auto-light adjuster it's always a little difficult to tell.
I'd say it was pretty normal.

...should I just wait untill apple makes an announcement and deal with the screen, or should I return it and get my money back before it is too late?
If you believe the problem will likely remain somewhat of a thorn in your side, act while your limited window of opportunity still exists. Acknowledgement of an issue on this point from Apple - well, how long can you hold your breath?

So today I was messing around and trying some new themes, and after doing one I ran into a big problem. I reset my computer and I cannot see any desktop icons or my menu bar. I cannot open the finder and anytime I click an application, it will open briefly, my desktop icons will open briefly, and then the application will quit unexpectedly, and the icons will disappear once again.
Is there any way I can reset the theme back to the Mac default? Keep in mind I cannot open any applications including Terminal as far as I know. Thanks in advance.

You can't export to Pages. However, you can save to .doc and .docx, either of which can be opened in Pages.
But the .docx files cannot be read correctly by Pages. There are lots of incompatibilites.
Do I have to get Office for Mac to solve this?

I was wondering what works great for calibrating an iMac? I have used the i1 display 2 from x-rite and was wondering who has had good sucess with it. to me it seems to automatically adjust everything and you do not have to do anything manually. I still thing the screen brightness is too bright. Does it not change this setting? Also is the x-rite color munki better? I am using the 27" iMac and the epson 4900 pro stylus printer. I have found an internal color calibration tool in system preferences on the iMac. Anyone ever used this?
I am trying to get to WYSIWYG when printing from my iMac to my epson 4900 printer.
thanks...

According to Mactracker, max RAM for the Quicksilvers is 1.5 GB.
And yes, the Sawtooth can hold 2 GB under OS X.

Thanks, I've just ordered it
Just gotta work out how to clone my old hard drive to it when it arrives so I don't have to faff around re-installing everything
I don't have a SATA caddy so wonder if I can clone my existing drive to an external then clone it back with the new, blank drive installed in the machine...is this do-able?

thanks for that my friend. but it doesnt exactly show me how I get to the screen where I am able to modify the partition size. Do I need to be running MacOS in order to be able to edit this setting?
again, thank you so much.

i know i am going out really far on this one...but my friend says she has a friend that works at the local apple store who hooked her up when she bought her 15" powerbook a few months ago. she couldn't give me any specifics, but i want to see her reciept to see what kind of discount she got. however, i probably won't get to see it for a few more days.
i am wondering if anyone knows anything about the apple employee discounts? from my research, any apple employee can receive 1 25% discount, and 3 15% discounts during a 1 year time period.
my big question is...can these be combined with education discounts?
thx!
Short answer: NO
