Yeah, don't worry about people on the broad being jerks. There are just people that just quit smoking like that here. I hope I was at least a bit helpful anyway.

I had a little incident on Friday - blue screen of death. I thought the hard drive with my system folder had failed because Tech Tool didn't even recognize the drive existed. Dis…

Hi! 1) You used the RAID from OS X or is this a hardware RAID system? You won't be able to boot from a STRIPED RAID unless it is a hardware RAID, and not from a MIRRORED RAID if y…

I'm running from a RAID 0 software RAID made in Disk Utility right now, and have been for months. Worked in 10.3 and continues to work in 10.4.

When you reboot it, and put it up to your ear, does it click?... if so, that's not good. Do you get a folder with an exclamation mark? Bad Hard Drive.

You should be able to find an iPod hard drive someone's salvaged for sale somewhere. I have a 2nd gen 20G iPod that's seen better days but is not ready to part out just yet.

ya there's that forsaken folder with exclamation mark. almost sure its the hard drive that's dead. after browsing through that website and a few others... 150$ USD to repair my iP…

If anyone can help I would appreciate it. I have an emac and the shuffle isn't recognized, but it works on other computers. I have all the correct software. Anyone?

Did you reboot the compute? <just kidding> Try using the ports on your keyboard or using the "iPod Shuffle Dock" as this may fix your problem with the eMac. It is suggeste…

Or at least more than usual are lemons... The iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues applies to first generation iMac G5 computers that have video or power-re…

Yeah, Apple just sucks like they said in the other thread. They are doing the right thing! as usual. It's still one of the best computer companies if not THE best in the marketpl…

My God! Do you ever pull your head out of Steve Job's ass?

Is anyone surprised? Rev A models always tend to be the buggiest, especially when it involves a change as the iMac went through from G4 to G5. Now, I'd be interested to hear about…
