Would It be worth selling, or should I just concentrate on a nice funeral?
I have a G5 tower at home I would like to sell - duel 2.3GHz, 4GB RAMM, 500GB HD (slot A), 750GB HD (slot B), NVIDIA GeForce 6600 Graphics Card, Airport and Bluetooth installed, 10.5.8 with disk - I'd also bundle in the 20" Cinema Display since I would most like get an 27" iMac to replace it. Does anybody think I could get any money for it or should I start digging a hole in the backyard?

I would even consider putting a new drive in, a fresh OS install, after you insure the drive works etc. and redo the install. To me, I would not use someone else's OS and applications and would want to start fresh.
If you transfer ownership of software contact the vendor for what you need to do.

have family plan with 250 data which I almost use each month. Going on vacation and will be on the road for two weeks. Should I up my data for a month then change back. Is it worth it or should I just run over and pay the extra 15 per gig?
Hello mlazaretti. Vacation time is awesome. (Especially a road trip!) Since you will be going out for two weeks, you never know if having extra data may come in handy. I highly recommend switching to the next tier up so this way you have more data. This way it is only $10.00 more versus $15.00, and you dont have to worry about overages. Then change back at the start of the next billing cycle.
If you need help making this change let us know! Have a safe trip!

I am trying to land a photo teaching job and I am ok on Elements 12. If I'm going to invest serious time into mastering photoshop should I just dive in to the deep CS6? Thanks
Maybe you set a CLASSPATH environment variable with too much stuff in it? (Or maybe JCreator did that all by itself, with some weird internal way of tracking the classpath.)
In any event, it looks like an awkward tool that you're better off without. -
Any suggestions are most definitely welcome! Do you think it would be worth it or would I be better off going with an external? Thanks!
If your optical drive doesn't work, take your computer to an Apple Store and they'll change it for another optical drive. That's the safest way because you can't modify the iMac (except the keyboard, mouse and RAM)

I bought the macbook right before the unibody's came out (literally the month before....) but would it be worth it to download Lion? will all the multi touch features be compatible ?
depends on what you do and how much ram your MBP holds. If you're exeriencing slowness in SL then you will probably expereince even more in Lion. If you have a set amount of apps you use daily, you should check their compatibility and if there are issues surrounding that. If you are not able to do a clean install of Lion, which I would highly recomend, then you really would need to go through each periferal thing, app, hardware, that wasn't out of the box and see if it is worth it to switch.
Note that Java and Flash are not preinstalled so these too are things that have been causing issues with people browsing the internet and obviously somewhat overlooked in the way lion performs.
and finaly, always make a full back up of your machine in SL before switching to Lion in Time Machine. This will save you greef if you don't care for Lion.

My previous Ipod was replaced with a 6th generation nano, a year later and it won't turn on and when I try to charge it, it heats up and gets very hot. Is it worth trying to get it repaired or should I just junk it and buy something else?
If you like the form factor and clip on the 6th Generation send it in to be fixed, $65 for an out-of-warranty replacement.
If you would prefer a larger screen and built in Bluetooth, but no clip, buy the 7th Generation Nano -
Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?
DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now? -
The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one. I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country! These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available. THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!! THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one. But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business. -
I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?
Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
This is coming from someone that never ever used a Windows machine to make music! Life is good still! -
recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although requires key codes and I don't have my key codes anymore as dog chewed the packaging!! should i just buy new software package ? I am told that this is a microsoft issue not a mac issue !! But all my other data on the old macbook pro transferred over even the icons for office for mac on the bottom app bar. only now I can't open any of my word or excel files without key code! I thought that there may have been something that could be done before having to bite the bullet and fork out for new software package.??
If this is Office for Mac 2011 then it will work on your new computer. Reinstall it. If you don't have the key code call Microsoft's activation line to get a new key code. Explain that you lost the original key code and want to install Office on your new computer.

Selling Macbook: Should I create acct after formatting?
I'm getting ready to sell my Macbook. I just formatted and installed Mac OS X 10.5 on my Macbook. This is from the install DVD that came with it. I'm at the point now that it is asking for an Apple ID. Should I just shut down and let the new buyer take care of it?
I still haven't installed the apps from the app DVD. I also have the Snow Leopard DVD to install. Any suggestions on the best route for this scenario?brett, I would let the new owner set it up.
lurchmuffins, try buying one locally via Craigslist. That way you can try it out first before you buy or leave with it.

I've been holding off updating my MacAir to OS Yosemite due to all the bad reviews. Is it worth downloading or should i wait for a later OS?
Well as any television network executive will tell you, for every complaint letter or email they get, there are likely a thousand people who feel the same but don't bother to comment. That's why it must be considered sample data, and only a little over a week's worth at that. That makes it even more remarkable since it reflects the latest bug fix release, and things should be getting better. I recently called Apple Support for a problem I was having with Yosemite on my 27" Cinema Display, and the hold time was 20 minutes when it's usually just a couple. Apple Support was excellent as usual once I got someone, but the long wait time tells me something is keeping them very busy these days. People don't call for support when all is well.
Now don't get me wrong - I'm a huge Apple fan and have been for many years. I've bought into the entire ecosystem with 5 Macs, 3 iPhones, 3 iPads, 3 Apple TV's, etc. I care passionately what happens with Apple and I'm looking forward to a long continued relationship with them and a bright future. But I have to honestly say that I have been concerned with the User Interface direction they have taken with iOS and now OSX over the past two years. I'm a business owner and can easily spend 12 hours a day in front of my Mac display getting real work done - not just watching videos, checking FaceBook, or playing games. I have perfect vision, but I'm getting severe eye strain from Yosemite. That's not just about disliking how it looks - it's a functional usability issue. Add to that the lack of quality control in this release (as evidenced by the widely reported wi-fi issues), and I'm genuinely and sincerely concerned about what is going on. Yes I freely admit that I'm nostalgic for how beautiful (and internally efficient) Snow Leopard was with it's colored application sidebar icons and "lickable" traffic light icons, but I could also use it and every release of OSX up to Mavericks for hours on end without eye fatigue.
And make no mistake, even with the misgivings I have over the directions taken in iOS and OSX of late, Apple is still by far better than any of the alternatives, and I will stand by them as they work their way through these growing pains, and hopefully listen to their loyal users as we express our sincere heart-felt concerns. -

my iPod says that i need the iCloud password and i already had put it in and it is saying it is wrong... so I'm trying to totally reset my iPod touch but i have to turn off the "find my ipod" and i have to sign into my iCloud so i was wondering how to reset it... Is it possible or should I just throw it away?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
