Hi,
I have the Norco DS-500 and the FirmTek SeriTek/5PM. In my use, the SeriTek/5PM is quieter and provides a much cooler environment for the hard disks. Occasionally, I will hear the Norco rattle while the SeriTek/5PM is built like a tank and never has this issue.
The SeriTek/5PM is the only 5PM on the market with user selectable fan controls. In addition, the advanced cooling system allows it to keep the warmest running hard disks cool. I would much rather have the SeriTek/5PM than any other 4 or 5-bay port multiplier enclosure on the market. It is quiet, cool and built to last.

Question: Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions! If so what would you recommend? Was looking at Sophos. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks
Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide. -
I am trying open 'mv' files. I found a program called Flip4mac MWV Player Pro. Does anyone have experience with this or is there a different way to open these type of files?
It works quite well, but is only useful for playing .wmv files such as those made on older PCs. MPlayer 1.0 rc2 is a free utility that should also play .wmv files.

Hi people. I am getting increasingly frustrated with this. I do not understand why only a certain few keys in a certain spot have stopped working.
Anyone out there encountered similar problems to mine ??Hello danieloysius,
I would be concerned too some of the keys on my keyboard were not working. I found an article that can assist with troubleshooting issues with your keyboard. I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

I have paid and downloaded LION and want to update my IMAC, can i just run install and it keep photos settings etc from Snow Leopard or is a full reinstall with wiped hard drive, anyone have any experience of this and do i need to run a backup beforehand?
Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
And run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Before upgrading read here > Lion upgrade questions and answers: Apple Support Communities
And here > What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"? What upgrade or substitute options are available for common incompatible applications? @ EveryMac.com -
AppleCare off of eBay? Anyone have any success with this?
I am looking into purchasing AppleCare for my 4 month old Macbook Pro. I am a student so I can get it for $249, but I have seen on eBay where it will sometimes go for less than that. Has anyone purchased AppleCare off of eBay before? If so, how was your experience with it?
To follow up on Traildawg, you can get a feel for the merchants on e-Bay, mostly from the feedback. You can get some good deals if you are careful and read the ads. You can get an intuative feeling on what is more risky and what is not. About the Applecare I ordered, I felt that if I registered it immediately, as I did, and if Apple accepted the registration, which they did, then later on, down the pike, if they (Apple) tried to back out on it, I would have a good argument in small claims court, I could assert that they are estopped from not honoring the deal.
I, too, would never buy a computer from them, you know it's abused. I once, for the **** of it, bought a Tangerine Clamshell knowing I was taking a chance, and sure 'nuf. I don't really know if the computer was bad or whether it was that I changed memory, hard drive, and my 10 thumbs just failed me.
Don't get caught up in the passions of the moment be willing to walk away!
Ebay also has a reputation to protect.

Anyone have any experience using this Geil Ultra Platinum PC4000/DDR500
When I purchased my motherboard i did so from Mwave as an bundle package, AMD 64 3000+/MSI Neo4 NF4/SLi/ and basically I choose the only ram they offered cause I wanted them to test everything out before sending it off to me and yeah I was trying to save some money too, stupid me....now I'm buying the memmory I should have and I have 2 sticks I paid for unecessarily and Ill be lucky to recoupe 75% of what I paid for them, the ram I bought with this bundle package was just the plain vanilla Crucial pc3200/ddr400, cl3....actually I was surprized because I was able to get the fsb to 220mhz before it satrted logging errors, this effectively clocked my cpu from stock 1808mhz to 1998mhz, anyway after a suggestion from one of the Msi forum mods here, I went shopping for some pc4000, in a couple of days I will get it, who of you out there run the same ram in a similar system? and what performance( i.e. 260mhz fsb) from your experience can I expect to get from it , my rigs specs are in my sig btw and thanks for any input

The AMD64 memory controller seems to like Samsung TCCD / TCCx and some do not like Hynix (which is used in the GeIL Ultra Platinum PC4000). Winbond generally needs higher vdimm voltage which the Neo boards are not good at (mine is max 2.85v). -
Anyone have any experience with the VONDOO V3500 USB Skype Vbox on OS X?
I would like to use this telephone adapted for skype. Does anyone have a better setup? It says it only works under windows, but that may not be an issue.

5300 RAM showing up as 3200 in Quad, any experience with this problem?
Hello, just received a 2 gig kit for my G5 Quad (2 - 1 gig sticks from Crucial). System Profiler shows it's speed at 3200, lower than the original 512 RAM which is 4200. Crucial says it will only reach 4200, but why is the new RAM showing up at 3200? Tried removing original RAM and only using the new, same speed displayed - 3200.
Has anyone had any experience with this oddity? Any idea if the RAM is not performing or the Mac is not giving accurate speed data?
Thanks, SteveMemory identified as PC2600 in MDD
Symptom
Apple Hardware Test identifies the computer's memory as "PC2600" rather than "PC2700".
Products affected
* Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors)
* Apple Hardware Test version 1.2.6
Solution
There is nothing wrong with your computer's memory. This issue is addressed in Apple Hardware Test 1.2.7. If you have version 1.2.6 and are experiencing this issue, contact AppleCare for a replacement disc.
Apple is aware of that. It first showed up in 10.3.0 and has been there ever since. The issue with the above DDR2 is I think different and unique.
With the MDD, Apple used Micron in the system I got, and I added Crucial. Both show up as '2600.' -

I started to have connectivity issues with a linksys router. The linksys rep suggested ...Check from Apple if they have some particular ports for the Apple TV that we might need to open on the router, anyone have any suggestions for this?

Hi everyone,
I find the speed and space in my macbook pro is not enough for me anymore. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Hitachi 750gb/7200rpm hard drive? I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro (15 inch, 2.93 ghz C2D, 4gb ram) running osx Lion and was wonder about compatibility with said drive.
Thanks,

I've preordered my iPhone 5 from apple and tried to get a sim from o2, they said I couldn't preorder. Does anyone have any information about this?
Ethmoid,
Generally buying on contract or buying outright from apple with a separate sim from a provider is little difference in cost.
Work out the total cost over 24 months for the phone+monthly tarrif and you will see.
Also the contracts where the phone is cheapest but have a higher monthly cost tend to be the ones that cost you move over a 24 month period.
For example;
Using O2 UK as an example (other carriers are very similar). For the iPhone 5 64GB;
From Apple £699, plus O2 On & On £20 per month is £1179
From O2, Phone £249, per month, £41. Total over 24 months is £1,233
From O2, Phone £169, per month, £46. Total over 24 months is £1,273
From O2, Phone £69.99, per month, £63. Total over 24 months is £1,581 <Cheapest phone, most expensive
*These all use the same tarrif of unlimited talk,texts and 1GB data. The only difference is how much you want to pay upfront for the phone*
Also worth noting is buying the phone from apple and the O2 tarrif is only a 12 month tarrif so you're not locked in for 24 months.
As you can see, the cheaper the phone, the more the overall amount you pay. -
Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.
The 8 pin Lightning connector can only output 720p and lacks all iPod Out functionality unlike the full iPod Out functionality and 1080p that the 30 pin connector has and I suspect that they are coding iOS 7 specifically for the new devices which have severely reduced abilities and perhaps skipping adding the code needed for 30 pin devices to use their functionality with HDMI, etc.
