What volt charger should I get for my MacBook? It is a DC to AC inverter?

Hi, I recently purchased a inverter charger that has an outlet to charge a computer and can be used as a typical USB charger for a phone. The charger says that it has a continuous charge of 120V but a maximum of 150V. I don't understand what the problem is though because on the MacBook charger it says that it's intake is 100-240V and all of the other outputs and inputs match the specifications for the charging device. A normal phone charger that you can plug into the wall worked in this charger, so is it the computer or the charger? And also if it is the computer, what voltage amount should I get? Thank you very much!

Your Macbook charger will specify the number of watts it uses (very fine print somewhere on the charger brick). Your inverter MUST be able provide at least that much power, or I'm guessing your Macbook charger would have problems.

What case/sleeve should I get for my macbook air 11"?

I just got a macbook air 11" for Christmas, and don't know what kind of case to get. I carry it around in my backpack everyday for school, so I need a solid case. A lot of my friends have the hard case and a neoprene case/sleeve. I used a neoprene case/sleeve for my macbook (white) but I've noticed that this unibody design makes the computer a lot more prone to denting easily. Any ideas on what cases to get?

is Voltaic free? and is there a program out there that makes my video look...smoother? Cuz you know how when you film with a regular camera the film looks kinda fuzzy and grainy a little? Well I know there is a tool to fix the shaking on imovie n such, but is there a way to make my film look clear instead of grainy? Does anybody know what im talking about? Like...you can tell when someone filmed from a professional camera versus their moms camera to tape their sons hockey games, you now? it has that grainy, fuzzy quality to it.
the app is $35.
For graininess, this problem has existed since the invention of film & has translated well - to much dismay - to digital capute devices like DSLRs & CCD / CMOS based camcorders.
Grain is grain, period. There isn't a magic fix. There are some filters in some apps - like Final Cut - to midigate some of it, but not totally & is going to make the footage look wierd in cases.
It's best to get it right in the camera, as they say.

I saw that I can order an iPhone and they will connect it to my Verizon but I have no idea what kind of package to get

I have 2 lines that the contracts are expired. I see that I can set an appointment, have them set up the iPhone of choice to my Verizon account and it even says that they will give me any product upgrade benefits. I find this hard to beleive. For one of the lines i have a product upgrade of $50 (Verizon calls it New Every Two which they did away with but still offer it to people who had it and did not use it yet). On my other line there is a $35 product upgrade. I can't beleive that Apple would give these product upgrade rewards( the $50 for the one line and the $35 for the 2nd line)
does anybody know how to tell if someone is with a carrier like Verizon, how to figure out what kind of iPhone package I should get so Verizon can't get me for going over my ;allotted minutes, text messages, internet usage, etc. I have never used a smartphone so I have no idea how to tell what kind of package I need for the iPhone. anybody else know? I saw that Sprint has a package that is "unlimited with all 4 services like text messages, internet usage, calls, etc for $99/mo. is this still the case? Verizon does everything they can to rip you off and charge you for going over. I have not been able to figure out how I can tell when I am getting close to going over. is there an app to tell this?
Any suggestions about getting this servic where apple sets it all up, teaches you how to use the phone, gives a decent warranty and offers applecare. any other carier that would be better? I heard that the unlimited data transfers does not mean "unlimited" but they still put an amount on the unlinites and if you go over you get docked. I hate Verizon.

I should say before everybody else does I never learned how to type and barely learned how to write and spell so I probably should have done this some other way. Sorry.

What security software should I get

I just got my iMac, Comming from the PC world, I was wonding what type of anti-virus and security software should I get for MAC? What recommendations does anyone have for the brand?

No antivirius needed but I would recommend a browser add-in to block JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins.
On Firefox or Chrome, NoScript is an excellent choice. Someone else might have a recommendation for Safari.

What Super Drive should I get for ILife 06?

Hi, I have a G5 2.5 Power Mac 7.3. I bought ILife 06 and am trying to edit DVD's I copied from tape to make another DVD. iDVD says my Mac does not have a supported superdrive. What should I get to update this new to me computer? Everything says this is sooo easy. I am not finding it easy in the least. Thought this new computer would cover all the bases. How do you plug in video to this computer? I miss my old G3 that finally died by my hand trying to upgrade it....

Hi, I have a G5 2.5 Power Mac 7.3. I bought ILife 06
and am trying to edit DVD's I copied from tape to
make another DVD.
Copying home-made DVDs is easy (Disk Utility) but editing is more difficult.
iDVD says my Mac does not have a
supported superdrive.
Your drive shows as supported, so it may be some iDVD problem. Does the drive burn with other applications. e.g. Disk Utility, iTunes, or Finder.
How do you plug in video to this computer?
You need a video input device. It could be a PCI card (depending on your computers bus), a FireWire device, or an USB device. If you have a digital camcorder it can be used to input video via FireWire. If you have to buy something, look here: <http://www.elgato.com>

What video camera would you get...

Today I am returning a video camera I bought before I got my Mac which is not computer-friendly. I'd be interested in everyone's opinions on what camera to get that would work well with Imovie. I'm looking in the $400-$500 range, give or take a couple hundred. Thanks.

Yes that's the one, I wasn't necessarily expecting numbers like that shown in the example (would be nice yea!) but much better then I'm seeing now.
My 4+ year old laptop, A P4 3.06mhz with 1gb of ddr pc2700 scores a 20.50 on that test.
Maybe the test is tailored for the memory in the system so it's easier on it?
The program does have selection of baselines and more can be downloaded to use for comparison. The systems listed show the system processor and the amount of ram installed but not its type/speed.
So while my system memory is faster then the one similar system listed in one area its slower in others. That system may have slower memory installed in it then mine does without knowing it really doesn't tell me much.
I just don't think I'm getting my "moneys worth", while no I didn't expect a lightening fast system certainly much faster then I'm seeing out of it.
At the same time it is much faster then the system it replaced but only in a couple areas, cpu and video. Video is to be expected going from a FX5200 to a 9800 gtx. Dual core to Four core at a lower mhz but still a quicker.
The memory should be faster in this machine, much faster? but so far I'm not seeing it. Again I don't know the exact figure but I though what? triple that number at least?
While I didn't buy "top of the line" parts I tried to buy high quality parts and thought I did.
I get a total system score of 833.4 on that test and even that number seams low to me to for what the system is, if I'm off base so be it. To me it looks like the memory is still holding it back, if I could get the memory speed up the system would fly. If that is all this is capable of, the cpu/on die memory controller type deal, I guess I'll have to scrap it and start over but hope it doesn't come to that. Aside from a couple of the smaller hard drives in it all the parts are new.
Will settle into one OS in the end, use XP as my main at this time as I do not like vista. I look to upgrade to Windows 7 when its released and had put this system together looking toward that end.
I tried 64bit windows 7 but seen no improvement in memory use/speed with it either, in some ways it was slower.
I posted the same question over on G-skill's board to get some opinions from them but yet to get a response, maybe like here my question is not clear?
Anyway I appreciate all of you taking the time to read and respond, my first "AMD" and it looks like I need a little guidance?! LOL

Time to upgrade my BB...What Smart Phone Should I get? Or should I wait?

I'm due for new phone now. I use my old pearl blackberry phone for emails, web, and most importantly syncing my Microsoft Outlook contact, tasks, and calendar. I know the BB does it, but do these other Droids or other smartphone do it? The Blackberry Torch looks perfect (I wish Verizon had it)...I want a full keyboard and touch screen (i.e. like torch) What is my second best choice? Something else coming out in the next few months I should wait for? Again, must be able to sync easily with Outlook. Thanks!

What audio interface should I get w/ my Macbook Pro?

Hi,
Have a gig where I am covering tons of tunes on keyboard.
In the past, have just used a keyboard and onboard sounds.
I have Mainstage - have never used it... sounds great.
What audio interface is great out there?
Got an older Macbook Pro:
2 Ghz Intel core Duo, Memory: 2 GM 667 Mhz, etc...
Is this fast enough?
Anyhow... what interface should I consider?
Thanks in

I use one of these:

What ribbon cable should I get for my 3rd drive?

Hi, I just installed my 3rd hard disk drive in my 933MHZ(was 733) QuickSilver G4.
I recently emailed a vendor asking:
"Hello, I have a Mac 733 Quick Silver computer and I just installed my
third hard disk drive. I need a 40 pin 4(for later) drive scsi ribbon
cable. Can you help me? THANKS!
Darren"
His response:
"Darren, Two drives is the most you can get with standard IDE.
Dave"
Did I ask for the wrong cable. From what I understand the QuickSilver can accomodate up to 4 internal drives. I would prefer to install a cable: 5 connector 4 drive than install a card.
The cable that I am using now for the 2 drives is APPLE P/N 590-2253 REV A
FOXCONN P/N FC80C17-00 K 0115. On the white lable is 080-0003-192 FOXCONN.
TIA

Hi
Unlike SCSI, each IDE/ATA channel can only support a maximum of two devices, hence there isn't such a thing as a 5 connector 4 drive IDE ribbon cable. The options for a third ATA drive are:
1. Mount it in the bay intended for a Zip drive (beneath the optical drive). Apple don't recommend this though due to possible heat issues and the bus is slower, being ATA/33 rather than ATA/66, which may affect performance.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58200
2. Mount it in an external firewire enclosure which can be bought separately (driveless).
3. Buy a Mac compatible PCI card containing another ATA controller. These typically have two channels, each channel supporting two drives, for four drives in total.
4. Replace the ATA drive with a SATA drive and buy a Mac compatible PCI card containing a SATA controller. These typically have two channels, each channel supporting one drive, for two drives in total. They can be used in conjunction with the two ATA drives on the inbuilt ATA controller though, and four channel versions are available supporting four drives.

What replacement SSD should I get for iMac Model A1225

With a failed hard disk in my iMac, What is the best and most suitable replacement available.
Disk space isn't really a factor, >120GB will suffice, my primary concern is getting the right make/model to fit my imac.
