With all the problems,, why bother? Use Super Duper

I don't really know if going thru all this trouble is worth it to get constant backups.
Plus your backup HD will be humming all the time.
So is TD really worth all the trouble to get it working, and when you do, is it worth it?

SD has preliminary support for Leopard, so I would not trust it (yet).
SD clones your hard disk, what is very much different than a true backup. With a backup I can go back to retrieve multiple versions, say I need a text file with the content I had last sunday. SD can't, once your hard disk is cloned is has that one state on the clone. It actually happened already twice to me that my cloned disk did not have files anymore I deleted by accident. TM is for me the solution I was waiting for. And it works for me

With all the problems, why keep the iPhone?

Over the last two weeks I have read hundreds of complaints about the iPhone. There seems to be a wide range of problems. I have also read that many, if not most, have not been able to resolve their problem. This leaves at least some of the iPhones unreliable at most.
My question is why are all these people keeping the iPhone if they are having that much trouble with it?
Of course, I may be in the same boat soon because I ordered the iPhone despite what I have read. For one thing, I like the features of the iPhone. And another reason I am going to give it a try is because I know a guy that got one on the first day and he has never had a single problem with it. However, if I do have problems then I will return it and get a different brand. I for one will not put up with a phone that is not totally functional. And I will not wait for software updates hoping it will fix the problems.
I even read a few posts that had a whole list of problems and had to reset the phone continually. Yet, they said: Well, that is alright. I love my iPhone and I am going to keep it anyway… I was amazed.

Re "I ordered the iPhone despite what I have read", it will be interesting to see what you do when the reality is upon you

I want to go back to the previous 2014.2 version. .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install.

Scared to get a Neo2 Plat with all the problems here!

I plan on getting a Neo2 Plat, but scared from all these problems that people are asking about...I dont want problems :(

kweckstrom I'm still a little confused you claim to have been building computers since computers were practically invented but you coulden't figure out how to get a new 939 board up and running reliably?? It's really not that hard.. not like the P90 (the pentium that didn't run)
1 you check for compatability,
2 you buy your parts,
3 you put it together..
4 it runs.
First of all, you should read an entire post before replying. You must not have read it, because I obviously DID figure it out.
If you look at the compatibility list for the MSI board, it's abysmal. They test VERY few modules, and they haven't tested anything newer. Newer modules (like the newer Corsair XL's or Micron Ballistix) remain untested, and aren't likely to BE tested "officially". The Corsair 3200LLPT's worked fine in my P4 rig. They worked fine on the Gigabyte 939 NF3 board. One can reasonably expect that they would have worked fine on the MSI, after all it's the same chipset.
But no, they didn't. Not even after upgrading my power supply. Yet if I slap all this stuff together on the gigabyte board, all was fine and dandy, even on a PS that only delivered 18A on +12v.
When I tried out the ballistix, I ran into even worse problems, even after ignoring SPD and upping voltage to it's rated 2.8v. But after upgrading my Power Supply, those problems went away and the system is now rock solid and stable.
I'm an older guy with a wife and 2 kids, not to mention a full-time career as a network engineer. I don't have tons of nights and weekends to work through nagging compatibility or stability issues. That's why I say I wouldn't put myself through that mess again.

If your buying enthousiast grade parts expect to do a little research first because it's a fact there are more untested parts and there will be some incompatabilities but it's absolutely no different than any intel platform of the same age..
Maybe you should have had someone with a little more time and skill build a system for you??
Then you may have been able to aviod these PEBCAK errors lol
Taking the high road, I see
You should actually read my post next time. I solved the problem long ago. I'm simply saying that this platform is an annoying one because there are tons of incompatibilities that lead to stability issues. That's fact, and you aren't much of an engineer if you dispute it.
What you say about intel systems of the same age is completely untrue. You'd have a hard time finding an intel board that's incompatible with DDR2 by any specific vendor. You'd also have a hard time finding any intel boards that have quirks with PCI Express cards. You'll also have a hard time finding any Power Supply compatibilities with LGA775, because a specific type of power supply is required (dual-rail with PCI-E headers). Sorry, you're wrong here.
On the Athlon64-939, out of the gate you'll have problems with certain hardware.
Take the Geforce 6800's.... The 6800's don't require 2D and 3D clock speeds to be identical on a P4 system. The bios by default doesn't normalize clock speeds for 2d and 3d, because a 425mhz 2D core value uses power needlessly and doesn't make much sense. But if you're on the Nforce3 platform, you're FORCED to set them identically or your 3d games will stutter and eventually freeze.
There's people with issues on Nforce3 using Fast Writes. Some people have to disable them. You simply don't need to do this on intel.
There's people with issues using Audigy cards (the original Audigy 1). They cause BSOD's. This doesn't happen on Intel systems. They work fine there. (Audigy 2 is unaffected).
If someone's doing research into problems regarding the Athlon64 platform, i'm not going to blow sunshine up everyone's butt. I'm going to tell it like it is. I'm not married to any specific vendor, and i'm not someone who's going to insult someone's system building or research skills because he ran into problems with his latest build.
These problems are VERY real, and if you read this board it's LOADED with people who are having issues with stability. You shouldn't be quick to blame their research or skill with a screwdriver.

Should I get an iMac with all the problems about?

So, as my birthday is coming up I decided to get an iMac, however on Wednesday I read on Gizmodo about the yellow screen debacle, so after doing some research on the matter I'm not sure what to get any more.
I decided (Before I read this on Giz) to get a 21.5" iMac.
So I have a few questions about it.
1: Does the 21.5" iMac's screen flicker and blackout like the 27", it's very hard to find info about it as it seems it only affects 27", but is that because it doesn't effect 21.5" or because not many people bought the 21.5" iMac
2: Just how bad is this 'yellowing', I've looked at various photos of it and can hardly see any problem, does anyone have a really bad screen with the bottom of the screen being strongly yellow tinted?
3: Should I just skip all these problems and get a Macbook?
Please help me decide!

You have done your research on the new iMacs so you already know the answers to your questions. It's difficult to come to a consensus though because some report problems and some report they have no problems. It's your birthday... in my honest opinion, go for it.
Post back when you have your machine as to your findings on your machine. That's the one that matters.
Sorry if I am sounding a little tired of this but many people have asked the same question and many have provided the same answers. If you are very conservative you might want to wait and see, but if you don't want to postpone your birthday, go ahead; your iMac may be fine and if not, Apple will make it right. Do buy AppleCare.

With all the problems related to firefox 4.o on this forum I want to know whether upgrading to 4.0 is advisable until bugs worked out???

Can someone with more expertise who has used 4.o for awhile tell me weather upgrading now is advisable or should I wait until the bugs are worked out?????

how do you figure whether the addons one uses is compatible with 4.0?
Thanks

With all the upgrades why not upgrade the mini?

Great news coming out of the Apple camp, but what about the mini. Dollar for dollar it's still the cheapest Mac. What about TBolt 2.0 coneections on it. What about the new Wifi?

Ok so I'm am an Apple fan but I've never heard of Mac Mini upgrades, when then Joe will be the next Mini upgrade? Speculation is a wish list to me, it would be great if Apple had a venue to hear customer wishes. Apple's new theme is to envision how it's consumers will use their devices in the future. Can you think of a better place to express that?

Can I get my wife and my phones to synch to the same iMac, but have different address books - when synching we keep ending up with all the contacts on both phones...

Can I synch 2 phones to the same iMac, but have different address books?

If you and your wife have separate user accounts on the Mac, then each of you will have separate libraries to sync. You can them maintain separate address books, calendars, apps, etc.

I'm facing a lot of problem to get connected to 3G speed on my iPhone4 . And also I hardly get 2g speed . I'm done with all the checks as network reset , clearin cache n cookies even . Thus request to clear this heck of a issue

Facing a lot of problem in connecting to 3G speed on my iphone4 . Done with all the checks as network reset and also done with clearing cache n cookies still the problem is same . I hardly get 2g speed even . Thus I request to help to fix this problem.

Your code is absolutely unreadable - even if someone was willing to
help, it's simply impossible. I do give you a few tips, though: If you
understand your code (i.e. if it really is YOUR code), you should be
able to realize that your minimum and maximum never get set (thus they
are both 0) and your exam 3 is set with the wrong value. SEE where
those should get set and figure out why they're not. Chances are you
are doing something to them that makes one 'if' fail or you just
erroneously assign a wrong variable!

Why does my music from one album show up as two separate albums: one with all the songs in it, and another with two or three. Why is it that when i delete the incomplete album it takes the same songs out of the complete album also?

When I first imported music from my CDs onto my iTunes library, all the songs appeared, but those with the album artist and guest/additional artists they appeared in their own album under the same album name. After searching through iTunes help and support, I learned how to put all the songs under the same album (part of a compalition) and add the additional songs information, artwork, lyrics, etc. After getting all the music (imported from my CDs) onto the iTunes library and in their album. I synced my music onto my iPhone. (My iPhone is a 3GS)
Once the music was on my iPhone i noticed that the albums appeared in 2s again. One was the complete album with all the songs, song info, etc. together (solo tracks and/or one with multiple artists) and another album of the same name, artwork, etc. with 2-4 of the songs from that album. Since all I saw need for was to have the completed album on my iPhone, I deleted the album with only 2-4 of the songs. When I went back and selected the completed album, all the songs I had deleted from the incomplete album were also deleted from the completed album too! I just couldn't figure out why it did that and my my friends with iPods and iPhones said they didn't know what caused it either. So now I'm here with the idea how to fix this problem.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

Verizon won't allow me to apply the $14.13 that they owe me on the electronic gift card that they forced me to take as payment. What a bunch of sleazy scammers!!! With all the billiuons of dollars that you guys make, why do you have to scam me out of my $

Verizon won't allow me to apply the $14.13 that they owe me on the electronic gift card that they forced me to take as payment. What a bunch of sleazy scammers!!! With all the billiuons of dollars that you guys make, why do you have to scam me out of my $14? I was told by on line chat that i could buy screen protectors with it. Ha! Or redeem it in the store. AT the store I was told I could redeem it online. Why do you guys have to cheat people and make so many hoops to jump through that all I want to do is never use your services again? You alienate me, all for $14. How much am I and all the influnce that i have over my friends and family worth to you guys? Obviously less than $14. FYI, I have started a social media campaign exposing your sleazy business pratcies!!! Thanks!

Have you tried using it for purchase with customer service over the phone. I have used gift cards to pay part of my bill through the phone or online.

I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

unfortunately - you can not. you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
does it have to be outlook? maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
good luck

From all the problems in the community, I think I will stay with Lion OS, LOL.

From all the problems in the community with Mountain Lion, I think I'll stay with Lion. The upgrade just doen't seem worth the hassle!
