The Official Mac Thread (Docs, Themes, Apps, Etc.)

4gb of ram is just fine for a casual user and todays applications. Any more than that you'll get less battery life. Unless your running a memory hog program. Get a portable hardrive and you use time machine to back up your files. Your main concern should be what processor should you get.
 
anyone know where to get those adam bomb icons? or anything nike/jordan related icons? i saw someone with a huf icon too
 
just plugged in my 15 macbook pro and have been adding programs ... i didn't want to use migration to take stuff off the old mac b/c i have so much junk on there.

if you have a firewire cable, you can hook up both computers and boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode. it will show up on your new computer as an external hard drive and you can just clikc and chose the items you want to copy like that

what's the missing folder? take a screenshot if possible. If your ipod works..it's not dead. You can always install a new version of itunes and see if that fixes ot/ Do you have any itunes add-ons installed? Last.fm scrobbler used to do that same thing to me

nevermind i fixed the problem, i went to computer then clicked on my iPod and it said something about nothing being shared? idk but i clicked share and BOOM i could connect to iTunes again

P.S i saw a friend who had his music playing in a Nike tag kind of like what Coversutra does but with the album artwork instead. i couldn't ask him where he got it from but yea do you know what im talking about?
 
thanks for the response goat ... i'm pretty much set now ... only thing needed to add are my photos / videos / music ....

i never responded to ur ?? from a while back about the mac updates crashing my computer ... it was a security update i believe ...
 
this has probably been answered before but isn't it true that if you hover over your icons you can set them to bounce? if it's true how do you do it?
 
Click on the Apple symbol on your taskbar, then go to System Preferences>Dock and check the box next to "Animate opening applications"

Wrong thread btw. And this was just asked in the IPHONE thread, to answer your question no you cant. They are saying you gotta wait till the jailbreak to be able to do it.

Nope. You have to be able to connect your phone to an FTP client and the only way you can do that as of now is through jailbreaking and installing OpenSSH

theres a firmware password on it. Remove 1 stick of ram and reset the PRAM a few times and re-install the ram and you should be able to boot from disc.

im speaking as a future mac user here. i plan on buying a external hard drive for my time machine back ups and i wanted to know does it make sense to partition the drive into 2 volumes? like one for regular files such as music docs moviesetc and one for time machine? or no? because what im thinking is when you back up files using time machine you can access them from the external hard drive i would use for time machine and access the files from there and add more files to it as i please or is that wrong?

also suppose your mac has hard drive failure and everything gets erased and you boot it up from the cd and restore using time machine. does time machine restore all the apps you had before like photo shop, logic, pretty much the apps you had to install with a cd?

Time machine saves your backup as a folder. You can still add other folder/files to it without having to partition
If in the unfortunate case that you would have some kind of hard drive failure, Time Machine restores everything just as it was from your last backup. It'll look exactly the same as how your computer was before the failure
