Not as big a hassle as yours but I ordered a TV off pixmania (UK) and it came with a Euro plug. Phoned to complain and they sent me an adapter.
Not a big deal but I was a bit miffed that they didnt advertise it as Eur plug. I'm a bit paranoid about having it plugged to an adapter all the time (not sure why!)

superfluous "design" elements make it look needlessly bulky, completely negating the original design's desire to be as minimal and unobtrusive as possible.

What? What reader e-mail? :D
Anyway, they expected G5s? Duals is already crazy (read my sig), but G5s? Before they are introduced into powermacs? Wishful thinking!:D

Great post. This worked just fine for downgrading my iPod Touch 4g from 4.2.1 to 4.1. You probably should mention that the person needs to edit their hosts file or else it will fail when verifying the restore with iTunes.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and locate �hosts� file.
Open this �hosts� file in Notepad and add this "74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com".
I would of added Mac instructions but unfortunately iReb isn't available for Mac yet.

Since you still have Applecare left, it�s not a sad thing, apart from your data loss on HDD .. this one is quite regrettable :)
You are eligible to grab the new iMac .. with Radeon 6 series GPU!! Why do you sad? Call Apple Store, arrange an appointment, and get your iMac there
Go home and enjoy your new iMac!!
Well the reason is, :apple: don�t want to repair your old iMac either, since they hesitant to do so, they have to prepare their old stock of Nvidia 8800 chip and have to deal with it. I say they won�t try to repair it.
Like I said, It�s a nice thing to happen :)

I love them both.. i get hiped up 2 wweeks before macworld and just go nuts and just sit on the computer and get all the information and rumors about them i love it!!!:apple::apple:
I'm quite lucky because I'm normally in university til 6PM (UK time), and MacWorld is 5PM (UK time), but this week, I finish at 4PM so I will be glued to my computer for the updates via here, and then go out for dinner, and then when I come back, the keynote video should be available on Apple.com
I wonder if we're finishing early because my lecturer is as excited as we are... maybe he's a secret Mac fan

Can you still see all your RAM? Is there anything running in the background like Seti@Home and so on?
All the ram is there. No seti's. Thanks.

The next Mac Mini should be fine for that. If as hoped it gets a Sandy Bridge processor it'll make the MacBook Air look terribly slow in comparison for CPU intensive tasks, especially if you put a SSD in the Mini.
As for EyeTV, the current Mini isn't as powerful as many of us would like, but I find it to be adequate. Hopefully the refresh will correct this and allow smooth playing of live sport in HDTV using progressive scan.
I think part of the issue was the 2.13 core2duo processor in the Macbook Air, but I agree that the next Mac Mini should be much more powerful. The Graphics Card will be a downgrade, but shouldn't be that much of a difference.

Maybe the GPU just needs to be reflowed?
That wasn't an issue on that series of powerbooks. Also, I wouldn't recommend attempting a reflow.. a new logic board is much easier, especially since I dont think it is a reflow issue - since the gfx is working but corrupted.

Is there any reason you can't figure out how to use copy paste from the screenshot within preview?
No, I guess not. I could probably do copy and paste. I was trying to use the screen shot feature instead to see how it works.

I've been checking the refurb page for months now. Don't worry about a deal disappearing and never coming back if it's a current machine. On the other hand, if you're talking about a machine that's 1 or 2 revisions back, then the chance that it'll pop up later again gets slimmer and slimmer.
A good deal on a refurb iBook IMO is the current 14" iBook. It's $1099, versus $1299 for the regular price and $1199 for Educ. price. Been eyeing that for about a week now. Maybe if my money situation changes soon I'll pick it up.

I still have a MOD library on my Amiga that I plan to port to my Mac sometime. Meanwhile they play in SoundTracker, I think it's called. I remember how impressed people were with my music library playing from my computer... in the early 90s :)
I liked playing with MED/OctaMED too. And Aegis Sonix.
I think Linux-on-iPod needs a mod player :)

and way into high posting, one can be a 601 at 5,000 posts
i don't know what the next level will be or at how many posts
it could be the 602, which was not a widely used processor, or the more common 603...but then i wonder if the 603e will be another level or if arn decides the person is a 604...of course, there was the 604e after that
and after the 6xx levels, there is the G3, G4, and G5 and it's a mystery where those sit at
and is there a G6??

Doubt it. I have the 2.0 ghz and it works great. If you do a lot of video encoding you'll see a speed up, but for me I'd have to be doing video all day for me to want to upgrade. I'm going to wait for a machine that has light peak/usb 3 and and i7 or better ... so I'll be hanging on to this machine for quite some time to come. The .66 increase in speed is just not something I'd see with how my machine gets used. If you do lots and lots of video, upgrade ... if not save your money.

I found a dead pixel today. Maybe my vision just sucks but, even when I look for it knowing where its at, I can't see it unless conditions are perfect (100% screen brightness, white background, nothing else near it). It really isn't that big of a deal, no screen is perfect.

Hi everyone,
I searched the forums for similar issues and I found some hints but they didn't really work so I'm coming to you for additional advice. Thanks in advance.
I'm in a bit of a panic mode but I'll try to keep my cool :)
I have a 2008 MBP (Alu one), shipped with 10.5 and upgraded to 10.6. Never had a single problem until yesterday. I ran the 10.6.7 update, together with a security fix and a Java update, all through the software updater program. Everything installs ok, the system asks me to reboot to finalize, I comply...but then it happened.
The system is stuck at the Apple Logo/Spinning wheel thing. Just hung there for more than 30 minutes before I decided to force-shut it down and restarted it. Same thing. I did a PRAM/SMC reset, no success, and the system will not boot in Safe Mode. There is no weird chime/tone at startup, just the regular one.
What you should know:
-I can boot on my Windows 7 bootcamp partition with no problem, everything works fine (which is good cause I can save my files from there).
-I started in Verbose Mode and the system didn't go further than "airport rsn handshake complete on en1"
-I started in Single User mode and the system didn't go further than "Link Down on en1. Reason 8 (Disassociated because station leaving)."
-I don't have access to another Mac so I can try and boot/repair from there
Possible solutions:
-I didn't perform a "Safe Single User mode" start, but I don't think it's gonna do anything at this stage.
-The Repair Disk (in disk utility, booting from the install DVD) and/or format are the only things to do?
IMPORTANT note: I lost my SL Install DVD when I moved from the UK to Cyprus, but I still have my 10.5 Install DVD that came with the computer. I assume I cannot do anything with that, since I upgraded to SL, right? Would it be ok if I purchased another retail copy of SL, or does it have to be the EXACT SAME disc in order to perform a disk repair/OS format? In that case I'm basically screwed, aren't I?
Thanks a lot for your insights :)
