  • Get Rid of 'Would You Like to make iCal Your default calendar application'

    Since installing the Plaxo 'helper' / Pref Pane - I now get the following message every time I launch iCal (and Address Book) ...
    'Would you like to make iCal your default calendar application?'
    Even when selecting 'Make Default' it still asks the next time. Is there a setting in com.apple.ical.plist (or similar) that controls this that I can look at, or is there a terminal command to try setting this another way?
    I'm bothered a) why I get this at all - suspect Plaxo b) why I can't just set this the once. Any help gratefully received.
    If it is Plaxo monitoring and then setting/changing a flag on the fly it's soon going to be heading for the trash....

    OK, here I am answering my own question... It turns out there's another Discussion which has the following solution:
    I had the same message pop-up. I quite iCal and then went to ~/Library/Preferences and trashed the apple.ical preference [plist]. After that, I re-launched iCal and checked the box in the message box and it took that time.
    I tried this... we'll see if it works for me.

  • Can you still Buy CS3 Illustrator

    Can you still buy CS3 Illustrator ??? If so does anyone have a recommended site to buy it from??
    For those who upgraded from CS2 to CS3 did you see any advantage??
    I am looking to upgrade in hopes of correcting several software errors.

    No officialy you cant buy CS3 annymore.
    But you still can buy CS4 i think and than you have CS5 for free.
    And yes CS3, 4 and 5 are way better than CS2. CS2 was the worst CS version there was even CS1 was better than CS2.

  • I need to use my iMac to run some Windows software and was thinking of using Parallels Desktop 9 to help with this. Do you still have to partition your drive with Parallels and does this leave you open to viruses?

    I need to use my iMac to run some Windows software not available for Mac and was thinking of obtaining Parrallels Desktop 9 to help with this. If I use Parrallels do you still have to partitian your drive and does this leave you open to viruses?

    You do not have to partition your drive - Parallels creates a disk image which contains your Windows installation. You do have to exercise anti-virus measures in the Windows partition, although such malware cannot affect the Mac filesystem.

  • If you would buy a music video for a song, would you still purchase the audio only (.m4a) version?

    I'm just asking for your opinions. For example, I would purchase the music video "Blown Away" by Carrie Underwood for $1.99. So, now that you have the music video, will you still purchase the same song (from the album, audio only) for $1.29?

    No, just play the music video and close your eyes. 

  • Can you still buy the new iPad(3generation)

    I'm going to USA(i'm from sweden) in a couple of days and I flying home 1 november and Ipad 4 generation are relesed 2 november, so I wonder if I can still buy the third ipad now?

    Again, you'll just have to call the stores and ask. The 3rd-generation iPad has been discontinued, so it will depend completely on a dealer having remaining stock. If not, then the iPad 2 will be the only model available for a while. You can also try your local Swedish dealers.
    Regards.

  • What would you do with 150$ for your ipod???

  • Can you still buy Tiger?

    I want to upgrade to Tiger on a PowerBook G4 so it will be running the same system as other computers in the house. Can I still buy Tiger? All I can find in the Apple Store online is Leopard, and I don't want Leopard.

    You need to buy it from a 3rd party, and it's expensive ($150-200), unfortunately.
    Here's one example:
    http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/macosx10tire.html
    There are cheaper ones, I'm sure. You could try eBay/Craigslist. But, be careful! Be sure you are buying authentic retail discs - they will be black with the X. They will NOT be gray - those discs only work with the specific model and build they shipped with.
    Hope this helps...

  • Can you still buy photshop without a monthly plan?

    I was wondering if you are still able to buy Adobe Photoshop without having to begin a monthly/weekly payment plan and maybe purchase it at a total cost.

    Only the old CS6 version, which will never get any of the new features, just bug fixes and maintenance updates for newer versions of the OS.
    $700 for the Standard versions, or $1,000 for the Extended version.
    You can buy it here:

  • Can you still buy a macbook pro with snow leopard?

    can you still purchase a new macbook with snow leopard?

    No.  However, some used and refurbished Mac shops still have MacBook Pros with a warranty sold with them*:

    And yes, they are Snow Leopard compatible.  July 20, 2011 is the cutoff date.   So be sure the model predates that vintage.

  • Packaging and distribution of EJBs - your opinion, please

    Hello everyone,
    I am working on an EJB-based commercial product. When done, it will be deployable on a number of application servers that use different XML descriptor files, with different content. Initially, these will be JBoss, WebLogic and Sun ONE AS v8.
    I am pondering two different ways of distributing the product:
    1. with a wizard-like GUI-based utility that will format the required XML files based on the user's input, build the EAR file from the preexisting components + the newly formatted XML files, and deploy the resulting archive in the server's application directory, or
    2. hand over the component JAR and WAR files, with some skeleton XML descriptors, and tell the user to make their own, server-specific XML files, then assemble the EAR and deploy it manually.
    While the approach (1) is obviously user-friendly, and would be voted for by the majority of users, I wonder how this is done by other vendors offering their EJB products. Also, it is entirely possible that I am missing some other (better? hybrid?) approaches.
    Your opinion on this matter is highly appreciated.

    I second to Jack's suggestion of using Hibernation.
    I have been running Hibernation mode on my PCs and Laptops without any need to change any background options. Works great, especially on my laptops and resuming back to Windows from my PC is a breeze.

  • Can you still buy Mac book pro 2010

    Hey all, I have been seriouly thinking of buying Mac Book Pro 2010 model (one with Nvidia GPU in it)  I almost bought one few months back, but I couldn't get monthly payment option in Bestbuy.. And I ened up buy Asus laptop lol. As my old desktop cpu was getting old. Anywho.. I use to use Mac long ago in Highschool and they have come a long way since system 7.
    I have always wanted a Mac, Tired of mircsoft Bs and all virus/spyware and other crap. Just couldn't afford one.
    But hopefully that will be soon.
    I have been checking on-line and reading the reviews of the new Mac Book Pro 2011 models. I also notice they are now using ATI/Amd video GPU in then. Most people are not liking them,  Being that I am gamer, I do want decent laptop with atlest half decent video card.  I have read a lot reviews on older Mac book pro's wih Nvida gpu. I myself like Nvidia over Ati.
    Anywho i hope I can still get one before they are gone. My Question is...
    I love new i7 Cpu in my Asus has 8 cores in it.. Runs at 1.73 ghz & Boost upto 2.9 Ghz.. (intel core i7 740QM cpu )
    I'd love get that same Cpu in Mac book Pro with decent Nvida gpu...
    Can I still order or buy Macbook pro with Intel i7 cpu and still have Nvidia Gpu. Even though most Mac stores/ other computer stores that sell Mac have 2011 version with Crapy Ati Cards in then?
    Or once they gone, They gone? If I can order one, I just dont want miss out on good laptop.
    If anybody knows. Please get back to me, So know if I should be concerned or not. Thank you very much
    -Chester

    Actaully No...They aren't as good or as fast as Nvidia 330M Gpu..
    Older MacBook pro 15.4 inch with Nvidia Gefore GT 330M (2010)
    http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-330M.22437.0.html
    New Ati/Amd Radeon HD 6490M in Macbook pro 15.4 inch (2011)
    http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6490M.43843.0.html
    The older MacBook pro with Nvida Gpu has more memory Bus width.
    Faster memory speed and shader speed..
    Yes new macbook have faster 4 Core, i7 in them. Where 2010 only
    had 2 cores for i5 and i7..
    Check your stats for yourself... the new Ati is also only 64 Bit memory..
    Thats going create alot bottlenecks and lag..
    If I want to play say.. Portal 2, or Starcraft 2. I'm sure it would lag on ATI card..
    My current Asus i7 1.73 ghz  has better ATI Card then curent 2011 MBP.
