umm, sure, a Mac bought anywhere will certainly work anywhere else. Even the power supply is a universal one, although you will need plug adapters to actually fit the UK wall sockets.

Will my Mac Book continue to work after spillage?

I spiled a large amount of tea on my MBP on 17 March, it shutdown immediately. I tried booting up the next day and it would not, so I then brought it to an Apple technician for a diagnostic. I was told it would require a new battery, powerboard and keyboard, all costing as much as a new one to purchase. I decided to go ahead and make the new purchase, until yesterday the 25th, when my husband pressed the power button and it started up without any trouble. It has been working fine since then, except that I have to use the charger as the battery will not charge. My question is, will the machine stay working like this, or will hidden problems occur and cause it to deteriorate over time? I am just looking for some advice as to what is the best to do going forward, thanks in advance.

Will my mac mini fusion drive work in a 2008 mac pro

Hello All,
I have a 2012 mac mini with a 1 TB fusion drive. I want to know if I can just remove the fusion drive from the mac mini and install it in a 2008 mac pro? Or does the mac pro need some special update for it to work.
I'm given the mac mini to my fiance and she doesn't need a fusion drive but I want to keep it and put it in a 2008 mac pro.
Thank you,
A.J.

Humm... I'm having a hard time seeing any Pros in that maneuver.
1. It will void any warranty left including Apple Care on the Mac Mini.
2. If something goes wrong splitting the Mac Mini's Fusion setup, you will be on your own.
3. While it sounds OK now, at some point (sooner than later) the Mac Mini will come up short on Disk Space.
4. You will most likely have to reformat that drive to use it in the Mac Pro.
5. The Mac Pro will not benifit unless you have an SSD in it and do a new Fusion setup.
I'm sure there are others here, who could add to the list of Cons.

Will the Mac Pro 2,1 work with Mountain Lion

I have read recently that Mac Pro 1,1 will not be compatilble with Mountain Lion but what about the
Model 2,1(8 core 3Ghz Xenon)?
RJ

yes its a terrible decision apple have made to drop all these early macpros...
they waffle about lack of hardware compatibility
but in actual fact its just an arbitary decission to save some cash, and streamline developement at the users great expense..
there are an awfull lot of people waking up to the fact that their bullet proof,capable, multicore machines have been made effectively obsolete
shame on apple

So Can My Mac Be Made To Work With iChatAV ? Version three

So Can My Mac Be Made To Work With iChatAV ?
This question is asked by many who find their computer is below the G3/600Mghz Specs limit set for iChat
See here in the second table top left box the listing of the G3/600
Please note there are different Specs for Audio and Video chat.
This linked Apple Doc has been re-written several times since it originally cam out that it does not quite carry the same help as it once did
It is presumed that you are going to want to take as much advantage of iChat as you can. So I will talk about Video chatting.
For Jaguar (10.2.5 - 10.2.8)
Prior to the beginning of Oct 2004 there was a Jaguar version of iChat AV on sale at the Apple Store as a download. If you are at 10.2.5 - 10.2.8 and downloaded the $29.95 Version 2.0 of iChat for Jaguar, in preperation of using iChat, before this date, you may find some of this information useful.
The WWDC Anouncement
If you did not buy it, your only option is to upgrade to Panther.
For Panther (10.3.x) and Jaguar (10.2.5 -10.2.8)
IF you fall below the G3/600 mark then you will need this utility, iChatUSBCam from Ecamm.com This will enable the external iSight to work at lower spec machines. The current reported lower limit is around the G3/350Mhz mark.
It is also will enable USB cameras for use with iChatAV, but there is little in the way of substantive information about Sub G3/600 computers achieving this.
There have been about a dozen posts to say that it will use a USB cam on a G3 as low as 400Mgz
It should be noted that computers of this age tend to lack Multi-Tasking and will find that iChat will take up most of their processor time.

This is a link to the drivers already installed in the Mac OS. The download is not required. *See note below
Apple used to list the DV camcorders that work with the drivers already in the Mac OS but now Apple no longer does so (Link removed from this section). *See note below.
Essentially any Firewire camera will work with the OS. Some MiniDV formats can not be seen by iChat though.
Many USB Webcams will work if you are at 10.4.8 or earlier or only UBS 1.1 ports. This will need the Mac Drivers and the IChatUSBCam utility.
*Note: Both these last two lists were updated Jan 2004 or before. The purpose of pointing this out to highlight the fact that new cameras have come on the market since. They may work with these drivers or have their own Mac Firewire drivers on their accompanying install CDs.
The Current list for Firewire Webcams is now here as linked above.
For Tiger (10.4) and up.
Much of what has been said before applies to you as well. Most firewire web cams will work DV Camcorder will work. USB cameras can work with the correct Mac Driver and the iChatUSBCam utility.
However....
10.4.9 now adds a driver for USB Video Class (UCV) web cams that will work with the OS and iChat. Not all USB video cams are of this type and iChatUSBCam is still needed.
Mulit-Video Chatting
This was added to iChat at iChat 3 in Tiger (10.4.x)
As can be seen from the Specs linked earlier you need a Mac over a certain Spec (G4/1Ghz Dual) to be able to Host Video chats. (plus Internet Speed).
Ecamm come to people rescue again with PowerBoost if your Mac does not reach those specs.
Leopard 10.5
In Leopard the criteria is also for a mac of a certain spec before you even start, This is a G4/867Mghz processor. If you have problems then see this Apple Doc There is also some evidence that this helps other macs with the same message even if not this spec machine.

Have a canon dc310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?Camcorder unable to connect to computer. Will a mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with a mac?

I have a Canon DC310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's and doesn't have the ability to connect to a computer. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's? Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with the Mac? Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac? Thanks!!

No DV port in camcorder. Just a yellow AV port/hole. I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's. Can I use this with a Mac? Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac? Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way? Thanks again!

Will a external Apple iSight work with the latest Mac Mini?

Will a external apple isight work with the latest mac mini.
Yes (if the external iSight works.)
External iSights are great webcams, but they are getting old (as consumer electronics go) and some have had pretty rough treatment. You can test yours using the suggestions from this page:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get your external iSight working with your mini.
If you do not already have an external iSight and are considering buying one now,
a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice.
Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

Use one of the following ways to connect your FW400 external iSight to a FW800 Mac port:
• To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
like one of these:
http://tinyurl.com/ydsbb6m&emsp; (I use this one.)
http://tinyurl.com/cgll7o
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fw_adapter.html
• This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TP320LL/A (I use this one.)
• Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get external iSight working with your mini. Once iSight works when it is the only FW connected device, you can try connecting other Firewire devices to determine whehter you can use any of them without conflict.
... if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
With your 10.6.3 mini, you can use QuickTime X, iChat, Photo Booth, iMovie, and some of the other apps that are installed with OS X. Your Mac's Help for each of these apps can tell you how to use them with iSight (or other connected cameras.)
Some more apps you can use are shown in this list:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
The web links for each app gives details on what functions is offers with your webcam.
Many Thanks
You're welcome.

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud? That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!

Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
Answer:
Sounds like either:
A directory problem on your internal HD. Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Something in OSX may be damaged. You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that). See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

My external hard drive works on PC but won't even show up on my mac?

My external hard drive works on pc but won't even show up on my mac? What can I do?

If it is in the wrong format it must probably still show up though, if your mac does detect it, go to disk utilities> choose the device from the left hand side > go to the "erase" tab and change format to "Mac OS extended (Journaled) then hit "erase".
IMPRTANT! : this will erase ALL of the files on your external hard drive
If this dosent work, make sure your external hard drive's USB port is compatibe with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 and also make sure your mac USB socket isnt damaged either.
Hope this helped
