...but my BT speeds seem unaffected. Does anyone have any ideas? I just noticed that my Safari and Firefox load very slowly, but I am still getting good speeds on Azureus (150-200Kb). My ISP is Comcast and I am using an airport express. I have my firewall on, and the appropriate ports are open...

The fire wire controller? So what your saying is the actual hard disk is probably ok? I am not really set up to swap drives around, do you think that I could have Lacie do it? Lacie tech support wasn't much help... they told me to try Data Rescue, but like Disk Warrior it just freezes up when...

That was actually the first thing that I tried, and it said everything was fine. I also tried switching cables to no avail. I am fearing that perhaps it is a hardware issue.

Hi, I am having major troubles with my porsche external HD. When I first bought it (a little over a year ago) I had trouble putting larger files on it (greater then 100mb). I asked a question on the forum about what to do about it, and the response was a fairly unaninmous REFORMAT! I did that...

He really doesn't need a Laptop right now, and it is a bit out of my price range, thanks for the adivice though. Matt- I looked into the keyspan remote, which is a great idea, but it looks like you need to have line of sight to the remote base. I am looking into the Roku soundbridge. Does...

I have a Airport Express too, the thing is the computer is not in the same room. Its a bit of a pain if every time he wanted to change the music, he has to run to the attic. Thanks though.

So I am doing research for my mom who is stumped on what to get my Dad for Christmas. Since he is fairly styled out Mac wise, not to mention a total music freak, I thought a good gift would be to get him a network music player. His computer is in the attic with all his music, but the stereo is...

I have actually tried all of that stuff... thanks for the help though. Looks like I am headed for an erase and install.

No such luck... I still get no such file or directory when I type in the the user name part, even if I do use my short user name.

Okay tried FSCK, funny thing though I have to force check using the -f option (-y does not work) It also says that the Root Device is read only. I am not sure if this is anything or not, but I am completely illiterate when it comes to this end of my Mac. I only had to force run FSCK once...

The finder is never up long enough for me to do anything with it. What I meant was that the the File with a finder icon in it flashes for about 1 second before it goes into it's normal boot up. I am not sure what APE or a HAXIS are. I have back up, I would just rather not go down that road...

It started with just a few random applications quitting on their own, then I get the "submit a report" screen. When I went to restart my finder would launch after boot up then quit, then launch and quit. I tried to safe boot but with the same results. Now when I start up I get the grey...

yea i am using pop.gmail.com for incoming... smtp.gmail.com for outgoing. I just don't understand why it gets stuck after working?

DVDimager has worked really well for me. If it seems to be stuck the first time you use it. Force quit and start again. I know a few people have had this problem but it worked fine the second time.

This is what it looks like: The little progress bars are frozen.

The other account, the one that gets stuck, is an IMAP account. Could this have anything to do with it?

I for the life of me, cannot get my gmail account and webmail account to work in mail! I never had this problem with Jaguar, or even in panther. I thought I had it working earlier, but when I tried to go back into it the webmail account just starts to spin. Eventually mail stops responding...

is there anything that I should watchout for? It is supposedly still covered under apple care (till 2008), and it is only 3 months old. Does apple care follow the product or the owner? I am getting a pretty good deal considering all the upgrades and apple care. Any thoughts? Any chronic...

So I got the iTalk for my iPod to record lectures, but the recordings aren't always the best. I find that I have to listen very closely to hear my professor. This is mainly to background noise. Can anyone recommend a simple program to help me clean up these recordings? When I say simple, I do...
