war is still on because computer are the key to uniting this world and ending war...
and at macs prices they will not be the choosen machine...
the prices are still high... and the prices 15 years ago were out of control...
you get what you pay for... well this forum is proof that macs as far as hardware is concerned is no different then a pc of the same caliber ...both break down
only difference is the pc doesn't cost an arm and leg to get it working again...
why do you think i am trying to boot from firewire...
because my harddrive quit after 3 years..right after warrenty ends....hmmmm
when will a computer company ofer the same lifetime warrenty i can get from sears for my tools....
yea i need to renew it every few years but at least they stand behind there product as long as I choose...
I would still have my mac under warranty... but it wasn't an option... what does that say about the product or the company selling it to you....( keep in mind Sears offers a warranty for all tools and I could keep the warranty going forever)
but that not what i was asking....
how do I get help online with a professional to help solve my computer issue?
i live an hour and half from the closet apple store.... 2 hour round trip...
thank you...

Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help. Can someone give me some direction ?

OK so yes, but if, and only if:
(1) your MacBook has a Firewire port (not all do)
- and -
(2) your old external iSight camera works (not all do)
- and -
(3) your MacBook is working properly.
If you are not certain whether your MacBook model has Firewire, you can search MacBook Technical Specifications for your model. Alternatively, check the User Guide Manual that came with your MacBook for the information you need to be certain.
If you are not certain that your old external iSight camera works, you can test it using the suggestions in this link.

Follow the instructions in your iSight User's Guide to connect and turn on the iSight. Then launch the Apple app you want to use with your iSight. If you need more information about using an app, search for "camera" (without the quote marks) in the Help menu choice for the app.

If you need more direction, post back the specifics of what you still need. We will offer further direction based on the details of your reply.

iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Apple Support
I have this problem explained above, and the solution that is given on this website didn´t work for me. I need help...iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Using iPhone 3G ,Version 4.2.1,Modem Firmware 06.15.00, In this phone i was using Facebook upgraded app and Smart Sync App. Suddenly my sisiter reset all setings and now I can't use the upgraded facebook app, for smart sync is asking for IOS 4.3,Need help.
Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

Leaving for a trip soon need help!!!!
I went into settings and pressed reset my phone and all settings about 10 hours ago, and then it went into the loading screen and has been "loading" ever since, and I'm leaving for a trip in 12 hours, need HELP!!!!!!!
That should only take seconds. Something has gone wrong. You're gonna have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. -
I created a magazine using a template including bleeds. When I exported to make a PDF, it cut off part of the document when uploading for printing. When I incude bleeds, it makes the document too big for printing. I need help

It is a problem with a secondary provider, "mag cloud" .
Right, so to advise you we'd need to know the particulars of MagCloud's spec for your project; format, trim size, bleed, etc.
It's doubtful that anything happened "when uploading for printing," so long as you were uploading a PDF, as opposed to the native InDesign file. Did the PDF look right to you before uploading? -
I haven't used an Apple computer for years. I need help getting started
I just bought a mac mini after 20 years using a PC. I need help getting started. Any beginning manuals out there? Thanks.

Welcome back. Do not overlook the Finder and individual application Help menu support. The links provided above are great starter references. With tongue in cheek, they also may not be as current as the OS X release on your mini, so expect some differences.
Here are a litany of keyboard short-cuts, last updated in June 2012, that may prove selectively beneficial.
For actions like copy(c), paste(v), cut(x), print(p), and select-all(a), substitute the command key instead of control key.
If you right click on a file, this menu will seem familiar. Press the option key and notice the menu changes. If you copy a file(s) from this menu, change to the destination and then press option with the right button menu to see copy file(s) changed to move file(s).
To quickly view a file's contents, left click on the file icon, then press the space bar.
The native file format for OS X is PDF. Thus, when you choose to print, you also have the option to save as PDF with web links preserved.
Enjoy your mini. -
Need help on switching my password recovery email because it is sending to my old email. Anyone know how to do this?
Hi Krebbo,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what the nature of your issue is. If you are talking about changing the Apple ID that your iPhone currently uses for services like the iTunes Store, you may find the following article helpful:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Boot camp disaster - need help
I followed the proceedure exactly as required, including starting with OS X version 10.4.6, downloading and upgrading firmware, printing the pdf manual for Boot Camp etc. But when it came to partitioning the drive I selected 10 GB Windows XP the rest OS X. Something went wrong after that and I ended up with the Windows being the only drive I can get at. Of course it's sort of half installed and buggered as well.
I just want to re-format my entire HD and re-install OS X by itself and restore my beloved Mac. What was I thinking trying to run windows on my machine. It suddenly felt like owning a PC again. What a wretched flashback.
Please Help.Looks like I found the answer to my situation. To completely re-format your Macintosh HD and perform a clean install you need to :
a. with computer on insert Mac OSX Disk # 1
b. hold power button until computer shuts down
c. turn power back on and immediately push and hold down
the 'c' key until you see the apple logo and hear media
drive spinning up.
d. When Install options show up choose Utilities from the
file menu and select the erase tab and choose the formatting options you wish.
e. When complete, reinstall you operating system.
It's a lengthy process, but this will save your machine. -
Droid Razr M Red Eye Boot Loop--continues for TOO many customers, need help!
Droid Razr M problem with red eye boot loop--with ALL of the many posts that can be found online concerning this problem, why is there not a FIX from Motorola and/or Verizon? All I seem to get are suggestions (I've tried) and "device is now considered out-of -date, you need a new phone". Why should I purchase a new phone when I will have another issue in 2 yrs to cause me to purchase again? Amazing how I am back to the 3G Droid Razr X to make due--It is about 5 yrs out-of-date. Support with phones that are out-of-contract is ...well, pretty much non-existent. Motorola gives the same "run around" after a 1 hr. call. Verizon chat tech were helpful/nice but I was sent to motorola when answers could not be found...useless call transfer/number. Any help for this Verizon faithful customer other than spend more $ for another phone?
Factory data reset is all that you can try really. If that does not repair the issue, then the software or hardware might really be at fault, and a repair would be necessary.

my 3gs has no service after updating from ios 5 tried resetting network settings, resetting all settings and restoring from back up on itunes.
telus cant find any network problems and apple is difficult to deal with.please help 3 weeks with no phone and $70 a month not happy.I have been having a similar problem for the last few days.Without warning the signal will just completely duck out leaving the device searching for several minutes before settling on a no signal message.
Sometimes restarting the device, toggling data and 3g settings or toggling Airplane Mode will set things right. However, a lot of the time I've been left without a working phone.
I don't believe this is a SIM issue, as I had to change my SIM only one month ago for another signal related problem. Again any help would be appreciated here as well. -
Building a GOD BOX for PHOTOSHOP CS 2 need help on specs
I will review my situation in detail but If you would like to also read a linked similar posting here it is::
http://www.bigbruin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8269
Ok so, I made a deal with the local PC shop, I will be trading my time as a photographer for a large portion of the cost of hardware that they would otherwise not be selling. Some things they will have to order but most of the things I need even the high end stuff they already have. So Money is of no object.
I am running into issues with my current system being that it is nearly 6 years old and I custom built it for under $150 Monitor included. Since then I have upgraded my Camera Equipment as I have become more and more sucsessfull with my photography business. I am currently shooting 16.7 Megapixel files with my Canon 1DS Mark II and 22 megapixels with a rented hasselblad with a Phase One Digital Back. Frankly my 700Mhz machine just isn't cutting it. It's time to upgrade.
Now Normaly I would go All Mac and Get a top of the line G5 Quad processor unit fully upgraded however I am still young and dont have good credit dispite all my efforts and they just wont finance me. so this local PC shop is my only hope. Thus I need a top of the line system.
This computer is going to be expandable so I need to have extra drive bays so a Full Server Tower is in order I think!
Also I am opting for aluminum Case because it is more conductive than plastic and should help radiate some of the heat this GOD BOX is going to Generate.
I could use some specifics for each of the areas, if anyone has experience with high end systems and would like to recommend hardware I am all ears. The information is only a light template. "think of it as a layer" nothing set in stone. However I would appreciate a swift reply because I will be building the system in less than a week!
(( STORAGE & SPEED ))
I heard that having seperate hard drives is the way to go to improve performance. Also It will help me keep things organized and easy to reformat if I have a problem with an OS. here are the specs a friend suggested.
80 Gig Raptor HD for OS
180 GIG Serial ATA Raptor HD for Photoshop dedicated Scratch Disk
180 GIG Serial ATA Raptor HD for working files for Quick accessing (temp files).
two 320 Gig Serial ATA Raid slower more reliable Hard Drives for a Mirror Raid setup image reduncancy is a good thing for photographers when a currupt Hard drive means missed deadlines lost clients and lawsuits!! YIKES!
2 DVD + - Combo Drive's that can accept dule layer dvd's unless anyone has heard of the Maxell Holographic Optical Storage Media coming out early january?? 120MB/s transfer speed, 50+ years archive life up to 1.6 terrbytes of storage!! I cant wait until its in production!
(( Processor BUS SPEED MOTHER BOARDS AND MEMORY ))
I need the best most reliable PC Mother Board that can accept the fastest long duration memory, I am aware that there are some types of ram that have higher speeds but cant move as much data at a time. Since much of what i do is batch processing longer periods are a better solution for me than faster acceloration.
This is strictly a photoshop machine No games no email just photoshop the way computers were made to run.
Whats the best motherboard that suports dule / quad processor systems??? are there quad processor systems available for PCs? can photoshop CS 2 muchless Windows XP 64 support such hardware?
it's got to be 64bit processors dule core if possible
someone told me Dule channel DDR PC8000 is the way to go, ANY Comments?
Whats the best CRT Monitor for under $1200
I specify CRT vs LCD because LCD still dosn't have the quality in dynamic range that CRT have, and the DMAX of a LCD is much more worse than the Dmax of a CRT.
Some obvious perifials are Firewire 800 and 400 standard and USB 2.0 ports
is there any news of Photoshop accepting more than 4 GIGS of ram in the next update?? If so I may opt for a 8 GI will review my situation in detail but If you would like to also read a linked similar posting here it is::
