thanks for the offer mope54. Only that my apple care ended in July and I reside in a far continent.... AQ - yes, its the OS X hardware diagnosis done the old fashioned way by pressing D during the start-up (and with apple os x disc)

interesting. To answer you question - yes, I did run an extended hardware test right after a clean install (and before restoration) To my bad luck, I do encounter the same error message.......

Hello guys. I seek your advice on two things, a) about an error that I encounter after running an extended hardware diagnosis (error code = 4HDD/11/40000004: SATA (0,0)) and b) if it really makes sense to invest in Diskwarrior (as it costs nearly $100) To give you the big picture...

I may be going off-topic here, but would anyone of you have any experience with Parallel Desktop 5 for Mac? Since I work with XP and OS X (courtesy of Bootcamp) I guess investing in PD5 could be useful. Your suggestions please :)

Thanks for your feedback guys. Cheers !

Hello guys. A question about back-ups => currently I back my Macbook PRO using time machine and Carbon Copy Cloner (each back-up medium associated to it’s own external hard disk) As back-ups are EXTREMELY important to me, I ensure to take all available measures to back-up everything. In that...

I dont see the option to convert DVD to divx and/or avi in handbreak :/

DIVX converter anyone?!?!

Hello. I recently performed a clean install of Snow Leopard on my MBP. Prior to that I took a complete back-up using carbon copy cloner. Everthing went smooth from scratch installation -> restoration of files, settings, etc from CCC. Then I rebooted the computer. At the login screen, I...

Hello. Lately I got my hands on handbreak and mactheripper which I found amazing must have apps. However, I am not sure (or perhaps not able to figure) how I could burn VIDEO_TS folder onto a blank DVD-R media, in order to make it playable on any standard DVD player. Would I need to grab...

bloo -> are you implying that CCC is far more efficient compared to content backed up using Time machine? I currently use a MBP (intel based) and I intend to purchase a Macbook air in a few weeks. I was hoping to simply plug my external disk (with time machine back-ups) to my Macbook air and...

I confirm that I can see the 2 entries (MAC HD and BOOTCAMP) I dont get this part, How can I reboot from the Utilities window?

Hello. Lately I encountered a very strange at least from an amateurs perspective issue for which I cant find a solution. A brief introduction before stating the exact issue - I got my 15" MBP 3 months ago and thanks to bootcamp, I was able to install WinXP which would cater to my gaming needs...
