I hate, I mean HATE these phillips #00 and #000 screws. When I swapped the ram on my late 2008 alum macbook I stripped one of the screws (using the correct phillips #00 or #000, I forget which) getting them out. I had to go to the apple store where they were able to get the stripped screw out. They also had to order replacements (that they graciously gave and mailed me for free despite being out of warranty). When I was setting the last screw, when I had maybe one turn left, it stripped again, but the access door closed thankfully.
Fast forward a year later - now - and I am again having the same problem getting the screw out that holds the hard drive in. I am swapping my 250gb for a 500gb WD Black. My question is not so much how to get the stripped screw out - I have already made a genius appointment - but how in the HECK do you get these things out before they strip? What am I doing wrong? I consider myself pretty handy but the 00 and 000 just seem to be hard as can be to get out.
I tend to prefer craftsman tools, though the screw driver I am using is the "Husky" brand which I got from lowes or home depot. Could it be the quality of the tool? Though the driver head is not deforming, the screw is. What gives!!

How does a 500mhz G4 compare to a 1ghz G3 performance wise? When I was looking here (http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3CARDS/G3_1.1GHz_vs_G4_1GHz_review/index.html) I noticed they cost about the same.
all depends on what you want to do , if it's a dual G4 then you might have a better time in some Apps but V's a 1Ghz single G3 there is not that much to say
1ghz is faster -

I want to come a few hours before the opening. I'm just wondering near which entrance people will be queuing up before Churchill opens?:confused:
Me too, though not sure which door either. Don't want to queue at the wrong door!

Whelp - I have one that I did for a job interview presentation. It was done in Keynote 1, so you have to click everything (no timers). It's also not the frilliest thing in the world, as it was meant to look professional.
It's 8MB. I'm uploading it to my .Mac account for you, but I'm using a modem here. When it's up, I'll post a link.
You might want to take out some slides. Here's what it is:
Topic - discuss (in 45 minutes) the role of assessment in adult graduate and undergraduate education programs.
I took advantage of the Cube effect. It starts by traveling around the Assessment Cube as an introduction, then goes back around the cube with more detailed notes.
Still, most of the presentation was verbal, so there isn't a lot of text there for you to really know what I was talking about, but you'll get the general idea.
I'll post later with a link.

I know that, but I would rather not mess up my computer by editing NSWindow and change something I don't know about :)
I had a friend look in her /System/Library/Frameworks in one of the frameworks folders: she said there was no subfolder or symlink "Headers" in it. IOW, the headers are only installed if you install XCode. They do not affect the function of the framework itself in any way at all. The only thing I imagine you can expect to happen is weird behavior from GDB.

The version comes with Mac Mini Server is most likely for that computer only.
Any included copy of OS X only works with the model it came with. However, I think you can use the OS X server key on different hardware, you just need the retail disks.

Hi,
I am uncertain if this is the same problem as Findesiecle5's post from 4 days ago, so I have started a separate thread.
Although I have been recording for many years, I have never used MIDI before, and am having a problem getting GarageBand to recognize it. Actually, I have always had many, many problems with GarageBand despite my Mac Pro being 'empty' of all files except those created in the program.
My set up is:
Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66
1 TB HD space (combination of several empty, new hard drives)
5 GB RAM
Firestudio 26 x 26 Firewire Audio Interface / Preamp
OS X 10.6.2
GarageBand '09 5.1
I bought the Mac Pro specifically for use as a DAW and have not used it for anything else - I think that I have only connected to the net on a few occasions with it.
PROBLEMS
1. Sometimes, the computer records perfectly, although there is something wrong with the software interface for the Firestudio as it is impossible to set different output/monitoring headphone levels for each track (I have had an audio pro who deals exclusively in Mac products come and try to troubleshoot this on two occasions, and he is clueless about this specific problem).
2. On other occasions, though, I can't get the computer to record at all: on those occasions I can't even hear previously recorded material in GB, although I can see it playing.
3. One of the 'wrinkles' is that there are two different drivers installed for the Firestudio in the Mac and GB 'System Preferences' - one is called 'Presonus Firestudio', and the other is called 'Presonus 1394).
4. The crazy thing here is that I can hear the playback only when the Mac 'System Preferences' is set to 'Presonus Firestudio' for both Input and Output, and the GB 'System Preferences' for Input and Output are each set to 'Presonus 1394' - if I choose the same named drivers for the Mac and GB 'System Preferences', I cannot hear anything when the track is playing.
5. A few months ago, I upgraded to Garageband '09, 5.1 (398), but had had the above problems before this.
6. In order to accommodate the new version of GB, I upgraded my OS to OS X 10.6.2
ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS
1. I tried to uninstall the Firestudio drivers and software and erase all trace of them from the system, by following instructions I found on the Presonus website (I found the Presonus people very unhelpful - although several people on the forums were more helpful)
2. I reinstalled OS X 10.6.2 three times in order to try to get rid of the problem
3. Before making the above changes, I changed the system drive to a brand new, never used, hard drive.
CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS
1. Although it would be nice to send different monitor output mixes to my headphone amp (see 1. under 'Problems' above), this is not essential, and I can record (most of the time, as I said above). So, I can record pretty consistently.
2. Having said that, sometimes I will inexplicably lose the ability to record, often during the middle of a project or during tracking
3. I cannot get rid of the two sets of drivers for the Presonus in 'System Preferences'
4. Today I tried to use MIDI for the first time. I had bought a MIDI - to - USB cable, which has two 'male' 5 PIN DIN connections on one end - one for MIDI IN, and other for MIDI OUT - and a 'male' USB connector on the other end.
I plugged both of the DIN connectors into the back of my keyboard, and I then plugged the USB connection into my Mac Pro.
I received the message that '2 MIDI Connections are Present' (or something to that effect), but was unable to get any input signal and was unable to hear my keyboard playing via the computer.
QUESTIONS
1. My main question right now is really about MIDI, as I have resigned myself to most of the above.
So, what am I doing incorrectly? As I understand it, this way of connecting should work, although now I am tempted to buy the alternative form of MIDI connector, which has DIN connectors on both ends, and then plug these into the MIDI IN and OUT on the back of the Firestudio.
Will this make a difference?
2. If anyone has any suggestions about any of the other problems, I would be very grateful.
Sorry for the length of this post, but I wanted to give a complete and detailed context for these problems.

I've read a bit about pageouts and RAM/OSX performance on MacRumors, but what I haven't been able to determine is how many pageouts are too many?
For the last 3 hours, I have been using a Dual 1.8 with 1.5GB RAM and have had the following pageins/pageouts according to Activity Monitor: 28883/1184.
Is this an indication that I need more RAM? Is there some type of rule or formula to determine how much I need based on the number of these pageouts?
generally you really only care about pageouts for doing quite intensive application and working with large files which you are not. in other words, you spent to much money on ram.
