    Larger capacity iPod touch/iPhone

    I suspect Apple planned from the very outset that iPhone would have to become a range of iPhone models for various purposes - with and without GPS, 3G, two cameras and so on. I'm pretty sure though that they were determined not to dilute the iPhone brand until it was well and truly established...

    is this hardware enough to try mac?

    Yeah, if you want to try a Mac, you'll need to get a Mac. Otherwise, your experience will be tainted by the incredible amount of problems you'll run into trying to hack the operating system to run on unsupported hardware. Mac is about a seamless, trouble-free experience that involves no...

    advanced wireless ibook troubleshooting

    It may not be your wireless that is at fault at all, if you are showing good signal levels and so on. Have you tried plugging the iBook straight into the speedtouch modem, thus eliminating wireless as a possible cause of the problem?

    16GB iPhone Yahoo!!

    Yes. First, name the two iPhones different names. Then, separate the contacts, either by having two separate user accounts on the machine, or by putting together two folders in Address Book and putting "his contacts" into one and "my contacts" into another. iTunes will let you choose which...

    There Seems to Be More Mac Users Lately

    Yes, just to clarify, Windows Genuine Advantage detects and counts hardware changes. After a certain number of changes have been detected (eg: you've added RAM, swapped a video card, etc) it decides that you're on a different computer and requires you to prove that you're a legitimate user...

    Reading Old Hard Drive

    I usually start by working out what I have to work with, thanks to apple-history.com: http://apple-history.com/body.php?page=gallery&model=IIci&performa=off&sort=family&order=DESC This apge confirms that the hard drive is SCSI. If you have access to a PC or a Mac with a SCSI card, you might be...

    usb hub can it slow down my computer?

    I'd open up a terminal (Applications/Utilities), make the window nice and big so you can see all the details, and then type top. This will show you all running processes (yes, yes, I know Activity Monitor does the same thing). See if you can spot something that is hogging resources or causing a...

    Unboxing photos of "brand-new" Apple IIc!

    Dansays on Flickr has posted this great set of photos detailing the unboxing of an unopened, never-been-used Apple IIc computer. I came across this and thought I'd share it with you all. :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/dansays/sets/72157603835099525/

    Can't Open Microsoft-Related Web Pages: Is there a Virus/Bug?

    If Apple's sites had gone down, we'd all have been speculating on what new, amazing product they were about to unveil any minute now.

    Thinking about buying a Touch

    I like the looks of the iPod touch. The idea of being able to surf the web on a handheld device that doubles as my music player is very appealing, since wifi is pretty easy to find these days, so it could make for a handy way to check email and stay in touch. It would also be a fairly nice...

    Live editable paths in title bar

    Sadly, no - it simply doesn't work that way. However, you can just type cd(space bar) and drag a folder into Terminal to change instantly into that folder. There are a few other neat tricks you can do if you know how (once you've mastered tab-button autocomplete and relative folder addresses...

    slideshow in iphoto

    You have a few options. If you're just happy to have a sequence of songs played back-to-back, you could copy-paste the songs together in GarageBand, save that, and bring that into iPhoto. Or, if you need a little more control, you could simply put the slideshow together without sound, export...

    my whole computer pauses momentarily

    mdworker is part of the spotlight indexing service. I'm not aware of an easy way to repair it, but perhaps an archive & reinstall of the operating system will be the simplest solution.

    is the iPhone compatible with 802.11n?

    Its specs are listed as 802.11 b/g. It's hard to imagine if 802.11n would actually be that much of an advantage on the iPhone though, especially since implementing 802.11n might well mean a tradeoff in terms of power consumption.

    Moving Overseas Again... What To Do With My Mac?

    I agree with Giaguara on this one. The PowerMac is fairly big and hefty and would cost a lot to get over here to Australia. You'd probably need to insure it, too, or risk it getting damaged on the way over. I can assure, that there is no shortage of Macs over here, new and used, and the...

    AppleTV HD movie rentals cost $16 each

    Aussie Internet prices are still well out of step with the United States, which is one reason why I'd be very surprised to see these HD movie downloads take off here any time soon. I sincerely hope this situation changes. I will point out a great site about Australian ISP's, plans, and the...
