    Wine on PPC Mac

    If the Thompson-to-English translator that I bought is working properly, then you want to encapsulate Windows applications and their support files into OS X double-clickable applications. There are several things that you need to understand: WINE is a clone of a subset of Windows APIs. Those...

    From where I sit, this post is strong evidence that your problem was caused by user error. BTW, my own experience with Apple service has been nothing less than superb.

    Renamed a folder, now 90% of it's content are GONE! Please help!

    Files don't disappear because you renamed the folder that holds them. It is possible that your hard drive is having issues. However, it sounds more like you inadvertently moved the files. If this is the case, the files are probably lingering elsewhere on your hard drive--perhaps in plain sight...

    Best way to opgrade MACPRO OSX 10.4.11

    Periodic backups fall under the category of Best Practices having nothing to do with OS upgrades. Backing-up to an HFS+ (Journaled) FireWire external hard drive using the second most recent version of Carbon Copy Cloner will produce a bootable drive with all of your current files. A USB drive...

    Pages in Lion

    Only because of its association with the Word .doc extension. Quite frankly, you will have to look long and hard to find a reference to "doc" files that do not refer to Word files.

    Pages in Lion

    You are frustrated because you are trying to use Pages inappropriately. Pages is not Word and does not support its formats natively. The Apple word processor includes conversion filters that allow it to open Word documents and to save them. This is not the same thing as native support and cannot...

    Best Netgear Router Configuration

    I have Cisco Linksys routers, not Netgear. However, the issue with non-Apple routers is reliability, not efficiency. The fact is that you are highly unlikely to saturate a Wireless-N or even a Wireless-G router. Generally when a router has throughput issues, it is because the router is going...

    Water splash :(((

    Well, buddy, there is nothing more that we can do but to advise you to give the computer more time to dry. If after a couple of days it still refuses power on, then you will need to have the computer repaired.
