Emasher Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Even so, if you really believe that macs are so good - why did you get Applecare in the first place? why do you buy an extended waranty on anything. plus you get tech tool free with it. think before you post next time

Fields Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Still seems a bit of a waste to me. Surely there's nothing that can't be fixed with a screwdriver, a soldering iron and a bottle of gin?

Jasper Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 why do you buy an extended waranty on anything. plus you get tech tool free with it. think before you post next time You don't get it. If you keep in mind my previous remarks towards Takeo's fanboyism and Apple-praise, this was just a damned ironic return. But if you insist on being so serious and telling people to think even do you apparantly didn't yourself (hence, you would have seen the irony).
Ashley Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Why do my apps keep dissapearing? I've installed stuff like MSN and after I shut down and try to find it again, nowhere. What the frak? Is it because they appear as devices (or something like that) on my desktop and thus I delete them because I want it clear? If so hows best to get them off the desktop but not all together.

That's number one rule of the Mac if you're running application - try to get it to your applications folder first - then it shouldn't disappear anymore. Those mountable disk you can delete are just carriers for the application, not the applecation itself.
KKOB Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 I have no clue what you said [Girl's Name] but i know it doesn't happen to me, my friend had some probs with MSN stuff appearing on his desktop, and after he uninstalled and reinstalled it it worked fine. Sorry i'm no help. Copy them to your applications folder before running them, please!

I thought my friend was smart enough to get into that habit, as he had a mac for a few weeks before. Mystery Solved ^_^
Ashley Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Decided to buy Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (from the limited selection we have at work). All was well and good until rotating the camera; hold down the two mouse buttons. Although thinking about it now, could I have clicked the touchpad button and held down control?

I've rediscovered Starcraft, Warcraft III and i might even play some Diablo II for the first time soon. So the £42.50 for my apple wireless mighty mooooose was worth it for me.
Emasher Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 i don't bother with the wireless stuff i use a wired logitech mouse (pretty cheap) i have 2 external hds connected to a usb 2.0 hub and even though i have wireless internet acess when i'm at my desk i use the cable because its faster
Moohawk! Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Acting like a fanny is what being a Mac owner is all about. If you're not going to act like a fanny, you might as well just get a PC. Haha I know this is like 3 pages back and ages old but QFT!!! I'm not trying to start any arguments by the way. I'm turning to mac now as soon as the rumoured new macbook pros are announced early june. Can. not. wait!! ...cannot afford it either but what harm's eating into my overdraft a little bit more gonna do?
KKOB Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 ...cannot afford it either but what harm's eating into my overdraft a little bit more gonna do? put you in the same position i'm in atm soooo worth it though ^_^ http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/
Fields Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 i don't bother with the wireless stuff Me neither, when I can avoid it. I have a wireless Apple mouse (non-Mighty ), and it's laggy as fuck. It's good for portability ie. I can take it to the library and not have cables running across the desk, but other than that it's shite.
UziT Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Hey guys, What chances are there of Apple showing a mew macbook at wwdc? I duno if I should wait out till then or just get one now! The wait is killing me!!!
Jasper Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 There are odds for one more thing. But since they've recently bumped up their line of MacBooks, I wouldn't say I'm sure they'll do another. One the other hand, if they do go multi-touch screen it could well be worth the wait, althhough direct avaibility is out of the question...

One the other hand, if they do go multi-touch screen it could well be worth the wait, althhough direct avaibility is out of the question... Exactly. If they DO introduce a touchscreen laptop/tablet it'll be of similar spec to a macbook pro-and probs pretty expensive at first. They've just done up the macbook, so just get one if its what you want/need. or else you could end up waiting forever cos of rumors. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6703249.stm ^ lol Mutli-touch on a Microsoft Table-funny.

No, that's the wrong idea. If Apple announces a new line of MacBooks with touchscreens it wil be a seperate line. If they do upgrade the MacBooks with this feature, the price will remain the same/vary with €50 at most. It's just the avaibility - it will not be immediatly out there (like when they announced the iPhone)...
Fields Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Right, Mac people. Can you help me out here? I don't know much about RAM, but what I do know is that my shiny new copy of CS3 arrived today and it won't run on my Mac due to a lack of RAM. I've been on Crucial because they have this thing where it tells you what sort of RAM you need for your specific computer, but they're being silly and saying they won't ship to my uni address. So I thought I'd look at alternatives. Thing is though, I'm lost as to what type of RAM I actually need. The thing on Crucial said I need '512MB DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR333 • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64' but I have no idea what that means. Is this what I should be looking for? Is it a specific type or will any old RAM do? I'm confused. ----------------- Oh and this is the future of computing guys! Trust me!

My point mostly was that they wouldn't make the first models specs comparable to the MacBook but the MacBook Pro. Microsoft: Now We Will Fuck Up Your Coffee Table

Charlie Posted May 30, 2007 Author Posted May 30, 2007 Don't really want to make a thread about this, but on the new Apple TV firmware you have the ability to watch videos on YouTube.
Emasher Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Don't really want to make a thread about this, but on the new Apple TV firmware you have the ability to watch videos on YouTube. how much does it cost (i'm thinking about getting my dad one for fathers day)
Fields Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 acording to adobe you need 1 gigabyte of ram Yeah but I already have 512MB. Now, I was never any good at maths, but by my reckoning 512 + 512 = 1024 = 1GB. Now I had a play today and it actually let me install it, just gave me a message recommending I upgrade my RAM. I'm probably going to do it anyway like, I've been meaning to for a while. So will any old PC2700 RAM work then, or is there anything specific I should be looking for? And where can I get it cheap?
