    Garageband is acting weird...

    I have a iBook G4 that I've had for about 2 years. I haven't really used Garageband too much for the last year. Worked fine then. Today I decided to hook up my Edirol firewire audio interface I just got to do some recording. Now Garageband is in a Eastern European language (something slavic)...

    What's your fav X360 game for Live?

    As the title says...just curious. :D I only got my 360 recently and haven't done any Live play with any 360 games (the Live enabled games I have are Halo 2 and Forza Motorsports for original Xbox and can play both on the 360) and was curious what everybody is into. Mr.Dearthian

    Is it my imagination or...

    Is the Xbox 360 headset for Live a lot quieter than the original? I have the premium version (not Core) of the 360 with the wireless controller. Is it quieter because it's on a wireless controller or is it that way also on the wired controller? I played on Live with my 360 for the first...

    A question for you Mac geeks...

    I was visiting a friend of mine this weekend and downloaded about 4-6GB of disc images onto my iBook from his external drive. The image files have the .mds file extension which, on PC, are associated with Alcohol 120. I'd like to burn these images to disc instead of having to transfer them...

    I recently bought the Ed version of Microsoft Office for my iBook and had a question. I have it set up to read both my private email account and my Hotmail account. When I do a mail check, it keeps moving my Hotmail messages (mainly new ones that haven't been read) from the Hotmail Inbox to...

    iBook Memory Question

    I'm thinking about doing a memory upgrade to my new iBook real soon and was looking at a couple of options at Crucial. I remember reading somewhere that the PowerBook PC2700 sticks (for the newer ones) will work with the newer iBooks (though they are PC2100). I know memory will down-throttle...

    Antivirus/Troan protection

    I am new to the Mac world (just ordered a brand-spanking new iBook) and was wondering if anybody would invest in Anti-virus/Trojan software?

    Greetings all! I'm going to be getting an iBook in the next few weeks and have been pricing one out online. My big question is should I spend the $260ish dollars for the Applecare? I know it extends the warranty to 3 years, but I've never needed the extended warranty when I've bought it...

    For those of you who have the Shure ear buds for their mp3 players, do any of you use the optional tri-flange tips? I just got a set of E2's and have been experimenting with the different tips. Can't stand the plastic ends (don't go in far enough, don't stay in well, and don't seal very well...
