I agree with Terpfen. Go through the calibration process. If that doesn't work try resetting the SMC and the NVRAM. A google search will tell you how to do these.

I purchased the $799 base model. I than got a kit to add a drive to the Mac Mini from OWC and added a Sandisk 240GB SSD so now I have the original 1TB plus the SSD. The kit comes with everything you need including step by step instructions with pictures. Took me about 30 minutes to add...

They aren't going to do it anytime soon because they are to busy putting out crap products like Windows 8. When they get done with that and are still in business than maybe.

Let see if I've got this straight. Bill Gates gives billions to keep people alive in Africa and other places, and Steve Jobs has been making products at Asian companies that pollute the environment and eventually kill people. Sounds like population stabilization to me. They both did...

I've been run the GM for the past week and have to say that I am impressed. The new gestures with the Trackpad take a little getting used to but are more logical than the old ones, especially the scroll. The only real problem I see is that people are going to need at least 4GB of memory to run...

I have a 3G and my battery life started to suck. Found out you have to run the battery down completely every so often and than let it charge overnight. This worked with mine. Look at the vary bottom of this page. http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

When was the last time you ran your Maintenance Scripts, cleared the caches and repaired your permissions? A good program to do this with is "Maintenance".

Actually the hard drive is easy to replace (If you can build your own PC, it's a breeze.) I just replaced my 640GB with a 3TB drive. You just have to take your time and watch out for the small connectors and wires. Some talk of getting dust between the LCD and glass. You can fix this with a...

I think Unity has bite them in the butt. It's to Fisher Price and it has lost a lot of the customization that was in the previous release. I know you can drop back to regular Gnome, but I think that should be default and Unity as an options. The 11.10 is really going to bite them in butt. It...

I got my first Mac in '09 and loved it so much that I replaced all the families computers with Mac. I gave all of the Windows PC's to charity. I discovered that for gaming the PC was way better so I put together a PC for that purpose. Still use the Mac's for just about everything. Much...

I added another fan on my H60 for a push pull configuration and it really rocks now. My cpu is a AMD Phenom X6 1055T. With the stock cooler it usually idles at 28-32C and goes up to 57C under load. With the H60 in a push pull set up the cpu idles at 19C and goes up to 36C under load. I...

If this law passes we may as well all walk into the Library of Congress and demand to have the Constitution and than tear it up and burn the pieces. Thomas Jefferson said "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

So let me get this straight. This guy is pissed that the carriers are trying to make the phones more secure by preventing hacking of the phone. Where is the problem? The average user wants a phone that is secure. If your a hack than find away around it, but don't expect the makers of the...

On my GA-870A-UD3 it is F11 at boot to update the backup bios.

Just thought I'd give you a heads up. I have the same board and I discovered that it does not like 4 sticks of memory. I've seen online where other owners have discovered the samething. Had to get two sticks of 4GB to get the system to work.

OP, Your temps are way to high. Something has to be wrong with the application of the heatsink. Don't trust applications that you use in windows. They seldom give accurate information and are not reliable for setting min and max. Set your fan controls from inside the BIOS. My 1055T idles at...

I had to clean it several times to get it all off. But I'm glad I could help.

Its an easy fix. Go to Walmart or Walgreens and pick up one of those suction cup shower handles. Now take it out of the container and make sure the cups are really clean. Pull up the release levers and place vertically in the middle of the screen. Slowly push down the release levers. Now...

Thanks.

Were did you see the updates for the Mac Pro? All they have in the Apple Store on the website is the Quad Core options. I don't see Hex Cores anywhere.

Geek Squad is NOT certified to repair Macs. You think they are the way the try to talk you into getting their service plan, but they aren't. Apple Care is your best option. I myself would never trust my Mac to Geek Squad. Their technician are sub par.

What kind of slow down is she experiencing?

You can use TVersity to stream to your iPhone. The great thing is that it is free. As for your PS3 and 360. I would use Parallels Desktop 5 and run Playon that way. VMWare Fusion is way to bloated and slow. The new Parallels is heads and tails above Fusion. This of course assumes you what...

I don't understand why so many companies are banking on streamed content. It is only a matter of time before large ISPs like Comcast, Time Warner and AT&T start metered usage policies. When that happens high quality streamed content will no longer be appealing to people. Most people will...

Just got off the phone with Apple. According to the tech that I spoke with, who put me on hold for ever to talk to legal, said that smoking around your Mac does not void the warranty and is not classified as bio hazard. Who ever these people dealt with just didn't want to work. Apple's...

Toast 10 does a nice job too.

The program that I can't live without is "iStat Menus". It is comforting to know what is going on with the Mac at a glance. http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatmenus/

Where did you hear that Mac's are "RipLocked"? There are several programs out that will let you make a backup. There is Handbrake, Mactheripper and 4Media DVD copy to name just a few. I have made several backups with 4Media DVD copy with out any problem. And yes this includes encrypted ones...

Of course your going to have problems! You have everything clustered together. If you didn't have the problem with the Apple wireless bluetooth mouse than you need to get another bluetooth mouse. Here are some...

I bet they want payment in full by December 20, 2012.

Under the Patriot Act the government already has the right to determine what is legal or illegal as far as what you do on the internet. They don't have to tell you what is or isn't. They just don't want you to know that. The judge was going by the perceived law not real law. The American...

I would have to agree. I just got an AppleTV and installed Boxee on it. It is wonderful. It doesn't mess up any of the original function of the ATV it just adds function. Their adding new content all the time to. I wouldn't have gotten it if all I could do was use iTunes through it. Check...

Try GPSlite MotionX. It is a free app. It will definitely tell you if your GPS is working and it is a pretty cool app.

Make sure that it is compatible with the new MBPs. I can't find it, but I read an article that said memory has to use a certain chip in order to work properly. Don't know if this is true or if someone is trying to sell their more expensive memory.

If they get rid of the drop down for the most viewed sites I'll get rid of FireFox. The only reason I use it is because it has that and is fast. Without the drop down I may as well use Safari or Chrome.

We have had a couple with cracks. The biggest thing that we find is filthy disks that won't play until they are cleaned. Thats all we have seen.

I don't do any gaming. I use to but now I mostly make dvds of the dogs for the family. Use iTunes a lot for my music collection and of course watching Hulu and Netflix. Oh and email and surfing. I am sure that I will find a lot of new things that I enjoy doing with the Macs.

Just got my 13" MacBook Pro on Monday. Love it. A week before that I got a 24" Aluminum iMac 2.93GHz. I gave away my PC. Figured I didn't need it anymore. I can say I love using the computer again.

I just got my new iMac tonight. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about the best TV hybrid tuner. On my Wintel I had a ATI TV Wonder 650 usb combo and liked it. I see there is a version for the Mac, but I have seen some bad reviews. Most of the bad ones were concerning the...

If you intend on using the Composite features and watch any type of video, go with the Nvidia. ATI gives you really bad video playback. I have a HD 4850 and when I watch any video it has lines in it and is really choppy. When I use my 8800 GTS the video is great.
