I have a lexmark Printreo X1150. I got the same message after I installed it on my Imac G4 running 10.4.1 I clicked on Fix. Ever since, whenever my Imac tries to go to sleep the …

You'll need a hefty video to run WoW successfully at higher settings. Anyway, I also think the chirping is graphics-bus related. Does anyone know exactly what disabling NAP does? …

I've been having the chirping also. Got my PM last week. I'll be more aware now but I really notice it while playing WoW (World of Warcraft). Nugget - I'm new to the Mac, how …

I did this by first running through Apple's Currency Converter tutorial (on Apple's dev site). I made sure that I understood completely what every part of the tutorial was doing, …

If you do buy a hard drive, get a Seagate. I believe they are the only company offering a 5 year warranty on their drives. One of my 200GB desktop drives is making funny noises, …

If you're on Tiger, great. Get Xcode 2.1 and go from there. Since you already know C and OO programming, learning Objective-C shouldn't be a problem. For a good book, there's Stepe…

I've been an Apple guy since forever, have always used a Mac at home (PB 15" 1.5Ghz w/ Tiger currently), and don't miss a day without reading the current Mac news sites. However, s…

I went from a Dual 2G to a single 2G iMac - with more RAM on the single 2G. Frankly, I find the single as fast as my Dual 2G was in MOST cases, with exceptions when I'm really usin…

My Dual 2 is still so much faster than I can ever imagine. I'm not sure what will eventually drive me to a new machine .... software will have to get MUCH more demanding.

And can you hear a pulsing sound that comes (I am not sure) from the 2 main fans in front of the processors ? It makes a kind of "woo woo woo" sound ...

You know what, if that works as well as it seems, it would also make upgrading totally easy as plugging in a hard drive. Wow. I was gonna get a FW HD for backup. Maybe I should use…

I was lucky and had a Hitachi 60GB 7200rpm in my Dell laptop. I swapped that drive with the 80GB 4200rpm Mini drive and it made a HUGE difference. I have an emergency copy of OS …
