Silly question about the new macbook pro. On my powerbook I could hit cmd+down arrow to page down. On the new macbook this jumps to the bottom of the page. How can I simply page down? I use this a lot when reading webpages or scrolling through documents. I'm sure it's simple, just not...

That's because Missing Sync was upgraded, and the old version doesn't run on 10.5. Argh!

Hey everyone, things didn't go exactly as it seemed. I transfered the apps and pics over without any problem. I also went into Library and copied over seemingly relevant things in Application Support, and Preferences. However, for example when I launch Terminal, my settings have not been...

I'm firewire-ing away now. I never realized how much stuff got chucked under Library. Things are copying over though and it seems easy enough! I'm really curious to see if my palm sync is going to work after all this is done. Thanks for the help all! - Harvey

I thought I had a firewire cable around the house from my external drive, but the cable wasn't a cable with both ends the same. Ooops. Anyway I'm going to send stuff to the external hard drive and try to move things that way. I'm sure i have a lot of crap on my old comp i dont want to...

Hey everyone! I finally got the giant 15" macbook pro (giant when compared to my baby 12" powerbook that is! Geesh) and am thinking about this firewire thing. I thought the cable that came with my 2nd or 3rd gen iPod would do it, but it seems not to be doing the trick. The target computer...

Is it possible to buy cheap RAM inside of a brick and morter shop? If so, which brands do you recommend?

Hello everyone. I waited and my prayers were answered, so now I can go buy a new Macbook Pro and Macbook for my wife. I have heard that buying RAM from Apple is not recommended as it is crazy expensive. I have also heard that a brand of RAM called "Crucial" is highly recommended. Does...

You know what. I'm not in a hurry actually. Maybe I should perserver for a bit and see what is on the horizon. If they do release a new MacBook Pro, I would be all over that... I'll give this some thought.

Ah, so the major difference in the Powerbook is the graphics card. I won't be doing any video editing at all, so that graphics card would be wasted on me. I am tempted to go with the Black Macbook for the extra memory, but I hear some people complain that it seems like some kind of cheesy...

Okay, I waited,and now MacWorld has come and gone. I currently have a G4 Powerbook, and am looking to upgrade my laptop. I kinda sorta thought that maybe the Macbook Pro would get upgrades around this time, but it didn't happen, so now it's decision time! I would be using this laptop as my...

Will announcements at the Jan MacWorld affect (lower) the prices of the current MacBooks? I was thinking of buying a MacBook for Christmas but wondering if I should hold out till Jan...

Hey guys thanks for the advice! One caveat though that I forgot to mention. I will be trading in my Powerbook to get the new Macbook. This means I won't have them both at the same time, so I can't use the firewire option. I'm in Japan and there are lots of shops that will buy your stuff in...

Hello! Currently I use a 12" PowerBook G4, and am planning to upgrade to a black MacBook with 2 gigs of ram and 160 Gig HD. (Or, maybe the white with 2 gigs of ram and 120 gig HD. Still deciding) Anyway, I want to know first of all what people think of this upgrade timing. Second of all...

Okay, I'll give it some time. It has only been about a week since I set this up!

Is there a way to train MAIL's spam filter, other than just marking and unmarking things as Spam? Is there a way to tweak the rules, or make a white list or something?

Hello everyone,. I recently did some gmail integration blah blah, anyhow, now a lot of my GMAIL comes into my POP account as well, so MAIL picks it up. However, with all this new Mail the Spam filter is make a lot of bad mistakes. Is there anyway to create a white list, or quickly teach...

Hello everyone, I'm trying out MailTags... a cool app that helps manage your mail/tasks/life heh. Anyway. This application makes iCal launch when the Mail application is lauched. The two work together so it's understandable... But does ayone know if this is adjustable? I don't need ical...

Quick question on how iTunes works. If I put an song on my PC, and then add that song to my iTunes library via the "add to library" menu option in iTunes... Does the file then exist in 2 places, one in the location where it originally was, and one in the iTunes library, therefore taking out...

That worked great thanks!
