Ok...
Then, is there a program somewhere that while running would prevent the computer from going to sleep (rather than a standard configuration page)?

Plug in the external FireWire drive and pop in your system restore disc. Restore to the external drive, and when it asks if you want to copy yoru files and settings from another Mac OS X installtion, tell it yes. One of the options is to migrate from "another partition on the same computer." It'll copy over all your files, applications, user settings...everything.
That, or you could go the CCC route. Whichever.

Good advice so far.
One other thing. Photoshop needs a scratch disk. Dedicate the first partition (I think about 50GB?) of one of your fast internal disks as the scratch disk. The drive should not be the one that has your applications, or OS on it. I use the same drive that has my image library. Basically you want the disk to be available only to PS when it needs it.
Good Luck.
If you go with a current Mac Pro, and if you put images on an external drive, make sure it's FW 800 drive. The speed increase over USB is well worth it. Unless it's your back up drive, 'cause nobody cares how long the backup takes at 3am.
Personally, I wouldn't buy a Mac Pro (unless I absolutely needed to) unto the just released Thunder Bolt technology made it into the Mac Pros. The current best info is that TB will not be an add-in card into current Mac Pros.
If the new Mac Pros with TB are too pricey, the older (now the current versions) Mac Pros will be discounted. I think a lot of professionals are going to hold off buying a new Mac Pro until the TB enabled ones come out. Apple is going to need to clear the old stock.
all of this imho, of course.... and worth every penny you paid for it...
Thanks for explaining how to create a scratch disc and answering my question that one's photo library drive is not dedicated.
I have followed the MBP release and I wondered when rather than if, the Mac Pro will be refreshed. Thanks for reiterating my concern since the MBP release.
Also, your "wait and buy" plan is sound! I waited a few months thus far. I hope the new Mac Pro is annouced this month! Nonetheless, thanks for sharing your thoughts kind Sir! :cool:

If you are running 10.3 or later, the file system is journaled, by default, making the manual use of 'fsck' virtually obsolete. If your filesystem does become corrupt (kernel panic, power failure, etc.), the filesystem journal is used to reconstruct it. If it can't, you probably have a bad disk or a serious low-level bug, neither of which are likely to be repairable by 'fsck'. It certainly doesn't hurt to try running 'fsck' in these circumstance, it's just that you may well be SOL, at that point.

I have never used this camera, but a few comments read between the lines of the (laughable) specs. The camera is a VuPoint DC-C310-VP
It is not a 6MP Camera. The 6MP figure is an interpolated figure. It's a 3.2 MP CMOS sensor - dirt cheap and noisy. You can also bet the optics are of the lowest quality.
The software included is Windows only. They don't claim Mac compatibility in any form. No optical zoom (ignore any specification that says "digital zoom")
SD Memory card is extra cost. No mention of focus, manual or auto. I'll bet it is a fixed-focus job.
What leads you to believe that $129 is the wholesale price? It is available elsewhere on the 'net retail for $124.99. And check this review and others from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002D07BM/103-0245442-5718226
"Not Even Worth $100 !, November 25, 2004
Purchased this camera at Safeway for a hundred bucks. Great interface, nice form-factor, lots of features. Too bad it consistently takes blurred and grainy photos ! Returned this camera and got a refund."
This is an absolute bottom-of-the-barrel camera mass produced in China.
Personally, I wouldn't touch it.
Do some research, MacRumorites. Don't get ripped off. "VuPoint 6 megapixel" in Google is all it takes.
(PS for the nit-pickers: This is being sold by a web seller www.collegeholidays.com who does not provide an address or a telephone number, and who do not charge sales tax. collegeholidays.com say they are in California. Californians, what's the law in California re: a seller in CA selling to CA residents? However the domain is registered to Mary Cohen 1502 Ashberry Dr. Suite 150 Austin TX 78723 US. The one person listed at that address isn't M Cohen and they don't have a suite number, so this is possibly a mail drop address. Oh-oh: Here's a bad sign: the collegeholidays.com domain was created on Nov. 26 2004 -- yes, just 2 weeks ago. Chances of this seller being around 1 week after they have unloaded the last of their 143 cameras? Near nil.)

It has a built in sound processor to create the 7.1. It only has a usb connection. Heres a link to it.
http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.169420200/parentCategoryID.35096300/categoryId.40856100
I can do 7.1 with games, VLC, and the Audio Midi Setup in utilities. But for some reason iTunes doesn't recognize it as a divice it can play surround through. Even though the mac itself seems to understand it... Thanks.

I am receiving the same error on my iPad2. I tried switching networks (yes I have 2 running) and I immediately receive that error message. How annoying :mad:!
update: this does however work on my iPhone4 - over 3g. I wonder if it has anything to do with wifi vs 3g connections?

I just got the Neo Hybrid EX and I love it. I have the Gunmetal one and it looks great, almost looks naked. It comes with front and back films also, although I already had a set on.
I bought it from panicpot.com, they have a TON of popular cases for the iPhone 4 and they're cheaper than most places. You have to wait about 1-2 weeks for your stuff because it comes from China but it's legit. I received my case in about 1 1/2 weeks.
Wow thats an awesome website, never heard about that one, thanks.

i really dont see Apple maxing out the RAM as a base config.

Those 2 mentioned were the lower default resolutions and I believe the others were 1280 x 720, 1280 x 768, 1368 x 768. I like the 1280 x 720 but most recent games only get maybe 8 - 15 fps at that resolution.
Then you are out of luck :( 1280x720 is 16:9 but it is understandable that the MBA can't run the newest games at that resolution. Have you turned all other settings to as little as possible?

I need a firewire DVD R/W as, in case of need, I could do the boot by means of it, as my Mac mini is a PowerPC one (I read that only Intel Mac can boot by means of USB optical drives).
By the way, what do you think about the Hamlet HEXD5UA-D DVD R/W ? It has both firewire and usb.

MacTheKnife errr TheGayBlad has posted is latest NMR report and this one seems to spill a whole lot of beans... Some of the best quotes are quoted below.
http://www.macedition.com/nmr/nmr_20020914.php
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The heretofore-unspoken name of IBM�s G4 Replacement is GPUL (short for GigaProcessor UltraLite). It is Multi-core, 64-bit Microprocessor that supports Vector/SIMD Multimedia eXtension (VMX), the generic Title for the Technologies comprising Altivec (a k a Velocity Engine).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like that name that Moki was using over on the AI boards now has an official meaning! GPUL is the internal name of that new IBM PPC that is gonna be presented at the Microprocessor Forum next month!!! Wait it gets even more interesting...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Most Worthy CPU also being fine-tuned to work with the Apple Processor Interconnect bus (ApplePI), Apple�s Replacement for the venerable MaxBus. Mac OS X is already booting happily on Prototype Units.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ApplePI?!?!? I know I've heard that codename used before but it had to be 8 or 9 months ago now... Well seems like that codename too now has 'real meaning' Apple Processor Interconnect an (assumed) high speed replacement for the MaxBus... Something that many think is holding us back and it now seems that Apple agrees.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alas, GPUL does not appear to be in the Cards for January�s Generation of Apple Systems. IBM had Mac OS X running on GPUL by November was delivering Prototypes to Apple by March of this Year, and was testing prototype Mac Hardware Systems and core Apple Application Software by April. Nevertheless,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I didn't want to hear that part but it can't be all good news all the time... But it sure was nice to read the confirmation on a few codenames that have been floating around for a while now.
Also if it's true that the 1st prototypes for this CPU were in Apples hands back in March 2002 and Apple was already testing initial prototype systems only a month later then come MacWorld NY or maybe even before we should finally see the GPUL err G5 CPU!
TGB isn't your 3rd rate rumor monger who will post anything and everything that hits his mailbox and what he does post is usually pretty level headed and turns out to be true... Needless to say most of his rumors are NOT the juiciest tidbits you've ever read (no 3Ghz quad processors nor iWalk crud) but in this case that's a really good thing...
Cause to me this be one juciest rumor I've seen in a while! (one that I can trust anyway)

Have you tried deleting redsn0w and downloading it again? maybe it's the file. I had a similar problem and replacing the .exe file fixed it for me.
Yes I've tried that several times. I also tried first when the jailbreak was for 4.3.1 and the tried it again when they updated redsnow to jailbreak 4.3.2 (after I updated my device to 4.3.2 of course). I also tried using the iphone firmware stored in my itunes folder and also downloading the firmware from the dv-team link. Same results with every time. Weird!!!
Another thing I should mention was that although my model number indicated I was on the old boot rom as opposed to the fixed I got an error message saying that I was indeed on the fixed boot rom. I restored my device and tried it again using the fix boot rom option. Since then I haven't received that error message but instead what I mentioned above happens. Could this be my problem?
