I just received my Mini 1.42GHz on Friday. Installed 1GB of RAM and then fired it up. Though it does boot a few seconds longer than my dual 867MHz G4, the responsiveness of OS X fe…

When I bought Tiger I also bought a 160gb Seagate hard drive and Macally PHR-100AC enclosure. I was going to start doing backups, but the hard drive would only work via USB, not F…

I have had problems with my firewire enclosure too, the USB 2.0 works fine though, I bought a cheap $10 usb 2.0 card for my mac Zach

Are you sure you have the latest firmware and drivers? http://www.macally.com/techsupport/drivers.html

Yep, I made sure to get the latest firmware. I think I've come to the conclusion that the HD is bad. I think Disk Warrior may be able to fix it, but I don't want to buy Disk Warr…

Silly question, but have you run the hardware test CD on your iMac to check the Firewire port?

No, but both my Powerbook and iMac work fine when I plug in the firewire cable and use the Powerbook in Target Disk mode. I assume that means both ports are good.

I had the same problem with the usb working but not firewire on the phr-100ac. I believe the fix was making sure the jumpers on the drive were set for master.

So, I a was sitting there, in my Tiger, wanting to copy some files off my external drive, which has a partition formatted in fat32 and one in hfs. But for some reason, Finder froze…

Er, no. DiskWarrior does not fix FAT volumes -- it's for HFS and HFS+ only. Use a disk utility (such as Norton) on a PC to try and fix it. The Mac has no utilites to fix FAT volu…

I'm a college student. When I come home for the summer, I get Comcast digital cable. When I'm at school, I get basic cable. I use an Apple PowerBook, and would like to be able to w…

Hi there, I'm thinking about investing in some of these FX6021 speakers, but I've read a review over on the Apple UK store that they buzz when silent (I know, a slight contradicti…

They look lik ecool speakers and I'm really interested in buying a pair. I'd like to hear a review from a member macnn poster.

I thought about getting the Altec Lansing FX6021 speakers but I couldn't justify their expensive price tag. They do sound quite good and look fantastic but I decided on getting th…

I got the 6021's in yesterday, great sound, no hissing. One feature I didn't notice when I saw them first at the Apple store is that they come with a remote. ~$200 from newegg.

I've had these for about 8 months now ... I was attracted by the decent sound and how well they go with the current cinema displays. No buzz or hiss, and the sound is certainly ver…

I know it still depends on the OS, but do you think the standardization of peripherals like BT mice/keyboards, etc...... will occur for the mac once the Intel switch occurs? Then …

Err... No. The only thing that prevents a device from working with a Mac is its drivers, which, unless the device maker is using some assembly code in its drivers, will not make it…

...though I think a lot of Firewire and USB devices won't require much work, right, because they're targeting the bus protocol rather than peculiarities of the CPU and chipset? don…

Does that have anything to do with Open Firmware? If the Intel Macs use BIOS or whatever from Intel, will FireWire peripherals still work, or will FireWire and USB capabilities be…
