Does not seem to work in my old version of Mac Microsoft Office for OS X.

If anyone is running Safari 4 Developer Preview... is it good enough for regular use? Or still VERY buggy? Can one test it out for free? Thanks for any comments!

Since I upgraded to Leopard (and the latest updates), I no longer get big fullscreen videos in iTunes (e.g., video podcasts show up in a postcard size screen). I have the full QuickTime upgrade from Tiger. Can someone tell me what I need to change or set? Thanks! MBP 3 GB RAM 10.5.3

Two things for anyone following this thread. I could be wrong but it seems that the VM Fusion 2 Beta does NOT import Parallel-installed Window XP setups. From what I gleaned from the Communities board, the VM Importer does not work for the 2.0 beta. Nor does importing Parallel installed setups...

Thank you! Got it!

Gia: I think that VM Fusion is no longer offering beta trials.

VM Fusion is about $40 US at Amazon after a rebate. To UPGRADE from Parallels 2 to 3 it is $50 US. Is this a no-brainer? Is VM Fusion clearly better than Parallels 3 at the moment? Thanks for any insights. Specs: MBP 2.16 with 3 GB RAM. Just running Internet Explorer 6 in Windows XP (nothing...

Yes. Poor reviews at the apple store site. People complain that even with proper recharging, the batteries don't keep the charge long and degrade quickly.

Is there a better alternative to the MacBook Pro battery? Apple's MBP batteries have very low ratings because of their price, duration, and storage. Is there a better third-party battery out there?

Has anyone compared both Firefox 3 and the latest Webkit? Advantages of Firefox 3: Some extensions work, fast, well-supported. Disadvantages: not a cocoa app so no Services; 71 on Acid3. Advantages of nightly Webkit: fast, 100 on Acid3, clean UI, Cocoa app so Services work. Disadvantages...

Has anyone tried the Feb 8 build of webkit? Techcrunch reported that it is extremely fast. I am using it today and it has not crashed (yet). I am curious to know if webkitters find it faster than firefox or camino and if they find it stable enough for their daily use.

I've read user reviews and checked it out but I was curious if any one is using the new Flock as their primary browser. Some people think it is still too slow while others call it fast. And some say that the Web 2.0 features are just bells and whistles. I've not tried Firefox extensions... Any...

Is there a way I can record short (1-2 min) video clips from a DVD running on my MacBook Pro? I've looked for a "record" function in DVD Player, VLC, and Handbrake but could not find one. This is slightly important as I hope to use video clips in a course I am teaching. Many thanks for any help!

Newegg.com is advertising a 2 GB RAM upgrade for the MacBook Pro for $40 (after mail-in rebate). Meanwhile, Crucial offers a similar upgrade for $80. Can anyone think of a reason why I should order from newegg rather than Crucial or is this a no-brainer? Thanks and happy holidays!~

Okay, can anyone suggest reasonable last-minute gifts for a MacBook owning wife? Does not necessarily have to be Mac-oriented. She likes: 1. gardening 2. Hungarian cooking 3. garage sales The best gifts we have given her were a Optio digital camera, MacBook, MacBook daisy cover, ...

The developer of QuickSilver seems to recommend that people buy LaunchBar because development on QS MIGHT halt. I am curious whether anyone is switching to LaunchBar....

I've read alot of bug reports on Leopard and have also looked at an survey of users at a macsite that indicates that almost half have found serious bugs on Leopard. Given this, and assuming that one is okay with Tiger, does it make sense to upgrade to Leopard before Xmas? Or to put it another...

Hi. I need to buy a backup drive, preferably one suitable for TimeMachine, and I checked out energy-efficient drives. Do you think any PORTABLE firewired-powered drive would be energy efficient compared to this USB2 Kanguru Drive at amazon...

I have an Airport Express (first generation) network. Can someone tell me where to go in the Airport Administrator Utility to disable SSID broadcasting and enable Mac addressing? Or is this not needed? Thanks! Disable SSID broadcasting. Enable MAC filtering Disable Universal Plug and Play...

Excellent! I am curious about whether it presents multiplication problems intelligently. Thanks for the recommendation.
