Switched MB Pros, Used TMachine to Migrate NOW New MB Will Not Recognize ..
Just switched from previous gen MB Pro to new MB PRo...Used TMachine to back up and Migrate NOW new MB will not recognize my "old" MB archive and wants to start a new TMachine archive.
New machine has name "name (2)" and old machine was "name". Is there someway to let T Machine "know" that I want to use the same archive to maintain continuity?

As Mr. Boyd says, TM has been enhanced in Snow Leopard to let you do this easily, but it's a problem in Leopard.
Some folks have tried the procedure in #C8 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum. It may not work well, or at all, in this case, since it's two rather different Macs, not the same Mac with a new logic board.

I have a new wireless router and now my laptop will not recognize the printer.
I recently installed a new wireless router,Linksys E2500, and now my laptop will not connect to my OfficeJet 4500 wireless printer. Operating system is Windows XP. Says it does not recognize the printer. It was working fine with my other Linksys router and I have been able to connect all of my other electronic equipment. Thanks.
You must reinstall the full feature software and drivers again to be sure it will work with the new router. This is the fastest way. Simply follow the instructions that came with the printer.

Mail passwords not holding...
If Terminal doesn't scare you, you might try this line in Terminal...
sudo mv /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase.old
Carefully type your admin password when asked & hit enter, as it won't be echoed, then restart the Mac.
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server.
So since WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
The receiving email ports are:

Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please
I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.
Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS. -
Resized partition using Disk Utility and now Windows 7 will not boot
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me!!
I had previously used Boot Camp to install Windows 7. However, I later realised I had not given myself anywhere near enough disk space as I started using Windows for things I hadn't originally planned on using it for.
Anyway, long story short, to solve the problem I uninstalled some applications on my Mac OSX and used Disk Utility to decrease the size of my Mac partition. My plan was then to reboot to Windows and use a Windows application to increase the size of the Windows partition. However - I coudln't even get that far.
Upon decreasing the size of my Mac partition (succesfully) I restarted my Mac in order to boot to Windows. However, I was greeted with a message along the lines of "unable to boot to Windows please insert boot disk and press any key" (I can't remember the exact message).
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way to restore my Windows partition, retaining all of my previously saved files on my Windows disk. It's probably a long shot, but the thought of losing everything I have been working on for the last few months is a sickening one.
What does give me a bit of hope is that, if I click Boot Camp it seems to recognise that Windows 7 is installed as the option that appears is to uninstall it.
Furthermore, if I view partitions in Disk Utility, a "DISK0S4" is listed. However, it's only at 20gb - if this WAS my BootCamp partition previously, it was originally at something around 60gb (I think - either way, definitely bigger than 20gb!).
On top of this, my current Macintosh HD parition is at 260gb and with the DISK0S4 partition at 20.21gb, there seems to be some space missing... I'm hoping this is the files I've been working on over the last few months!
Anyway, I've done some searching on the net and it *seems* that GPT fdisk *might* be my savour. I've downloaded it but have no idea how to use it and don't plan on playing about with it as I could no doubt do some real damage. If it is likely to solve my problem however, I'm certainly more than capable of being walked through what I need to do.
Please help!Hi Christopher,
I also have problems with Windows rebooting after partition resize trying to reduce Mac side and increase Windows side. I do not see the BootCamp partition labelled as such while running disk utility. The Windows partition shows up when I boot up while pressing the ALT key. However, when I try to run Windows, it says " error loading operatig system".
I also followed instruction and went through to run gdisk successfully. Results towards the end.
What can be done? Windows still does not boot and It shows ? Suspicious MBR at sector 0.

It's pretty much what I have seen others write about, only I have not gotten any of their solutions to work. Last thing I tried was a new firewire cable. The mb can't see my ibook wirelessly either. Now I have a new computer and no way to really use it. This is probably my 20th Mac and I have been using them since 1988, and this is just about the very first time I have been frustrated with a Mac, unable to fix it, and ready to send it back. So any help here would be appreciated.
Which exact model is the iBook? Is it the Mac that's running Mac OS X 10.4.11? The System Profiler (Applications > Utilities > System Profiler) will tell you, but if you're not sure, you can choose from this list:

Which exact model is the MacBook? Again, the System Profiler will tell you, but If you're not sure, you can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
(I'm assuming it's not the latest MacBook because the new ones are no longer equipped with FireWire ports.)
Which version of the OS is the MacBook running?

Even if the two could connect wirelessly, it's not advisable to do larger transfers in that way. It is painfully slow. -
I unlocked my phone using sn0w whatever and I have cydia and the only website that was helpful told me to download this hack software but it does not work because I have too high of a firmware on my phone. What do I do?!!
What makes you think I can't use my phone in another country or with another sim. You obviously can't, but we are hardly going to talk about hacking an Apple phone on the Apple site. By the way mine is officially unlocked so can swap sims within seconds.
