Most likely its a hardware fault. Go to the Apple retail store, speak with a 'genius' and they should fix it for you, if not, offer a replacement, they are legally bound to since you are covered by Apple's Apple Care Warranty service - and since it is a hardware defect, not a user fault you should get a replacement free of charge

Hi,
I have a VPN connection from Strong VPN set up on a Mac Mini.
I would like to specify that Boxee uses this connection, but no other traffic from or to my computer should use it.
Is this possible?
Sincerely,
Aslak Ege

My 15" Powerbook G4 (1.67GHz Superdrive) 80 GB hard drive is getting a little cramped so I'm looking for a bigger drive to replace it with.
Obviously the new drive needs to be just as quiet and fast (or better).
The current drive is reported as Seagate ST9808211A (http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/disc/manuals/ata/100378844b.pdf) by System Profiler and is apparently rated with a max. transfer speed of 100 MB/sec, rotation speed of 5400 RPM and a noise level of 2.4-3.1 Bels (24-31 Db). It's worked without any issues since 2005.
There doesn't seem to be much to choose from when it comes to 2.5" drives these days, so I'm basically left to choose between the WD1600BEVE (160 GB, WD2500BEVE (250 GB) and WD3200BEVE (320 GB) "Scorpio Blue" models from Western Digital (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=140). Are these any good or should I search a little harder and hopefully find something by Seagate again?
The reason I'm a little hesitant with Western Digital is that I have a couple of WD10EARS (1 TB) and WD20EARS (2TB) "Green power" drives which has this annoying feature that parks the drive head every 8 seconds or so, causing a lot of waiting and unnecessary tear and wear. They don't exactly advertise this fact (and it can't be disabled, at least not from Mac computers even though there's a DOS tool that used to work with the first batches of these drives when connected to a PC), so I'm worried that all current Western Digital drives might have these "features" (faults).
Are the 2.5" models from Western Digital a safe bet in comparison to my current drive?

I was wondering if xcode 4 has added any cross-platform development features. Specifically, right now I use NetBeans running on OS-X, but I have it compile on a Linux VM (or physical machine). It then sends back compile errors and warnings that I can click on which take me back to the appropriate line of my code.
XCode 4 have anything like this? Or is it really just tailored for OS X and iOS development?

Unfortunately as far as classic Macs go, these are just about the worst.
Read why here: http://lowendmac.com/tech/x200.shtml
I have a few they're not terribly enjoyable compared to other Macs of similar vintage.

use jDownloader (or FF + VideoDownloadHelper), grab the mp4, then find something to demux mp4 files so you can extract the AAC file inside. All those sites actually re-encode the audio, so in theory you lose quality, that doesn't happen if you simply rip the audio from the video.

iWork Pages has a significant lag in accepting key input to a point that it is a few letters behind. It is proving unusable in taking notes during a discussion with other(s).
Has anyone experienced the something? Is there any fix to this input delay?
I have experienced this, and it's usually when I'm working on a doc that I imported from .doc or .docx - I don't seem to get it when I start a new document actually in Pages. Is this the same for you?

Recently, my mom came in while cleaning around my room, you know, just tiding up a bit. She unplugged my WD My Book Studio LX on accident, and quickly plugged it back in. Before, it was hitting speeds that it should normally hit, 800 megabits a second (FireWire 800). I did a verify of the disk, and tried to repair it, but got that the disk COULD NOT be unmounted. The disk is now trailing along at speeds of about 17 GB/10 minutes, which is only about 30 megabytes a second, when normally is should be around 100 megabytes (800 megabits) a second. I even restarted the computer, but haven't tried resetting the SMU yet, would that help?
If you have had any past experiences that you have resolved, PLEASE, tell me below, and I'd gladly appreciate it! (:

Here is a fool proof way to decide "wait or buy now"...
If the computer you have is not doing what you need then buy a new computer.
If your current computer is serving your needs then don't buy a new computer.
Don't worry about what might be released later if the new computer fixes some problem, then fix the problem now. There are two issues here (1) buying something for nor reason is a waste of money (2) waiting can go on "forever" so don't fall into that trap. Buy what you need when you need it.
Thanks for the reply, it helped a lot!!

Sounds useful--but OS X will do encrypted SparseImages for free, without much loss of convenience. And they change size dynamically. And they make a Mac volume even on a Windows-format iPod.

I have a Western Digital. I actually JUST came across a little app somebody made to solve this problem. It's called "Keep Drive Spinning" and seems to do exactly what I want. The link is here:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31158/keep-drive-spinning
I just installed it and applied it to my Western Digital External that kept auto-sleeping. I haven't waiting enough time to see if it actually worked and kept the disk spinning, but if it does what it says it does, then my problem is solved. :)

The lag would be unbearable if you ran it through a converter. An emulator + adapter for the controller is your best bet.

Hey,
I usually edit video in final cut pro, and can probably pick up imovie pretty quickly, however I offered my wife's aunt to help her pick up video editing.
She has a PC
Who knows what software she's got...
My questions is: What PC Software, easily available and possibly free, can you guys recommend for an older lady?
Thanks,
r.
p.s. i of course will bring my macbook and give her the 'see how easy imovie is?' demo...

Hey so I found these two at my grandparents house today. One was my family's from when I was a kid and the other belongs to my grandparents. They still have both original 15" Apple monitors from the early 90's. I was just wondering what I could/should do with these. They're both in perfect working condition
