You can sometimes buy about to be replaced models for about $100 less than original price from places like Nextbyte. Because the prices are set by Apple, you won't find any really fantastic bargains. You can buy refurbished Macs through the online Apple store, they have warranty details for each Mac. Check this out yourself because prices vary for different items. If you want significantly discounted Macs, you will need to consider buying secondhand. Cheers, Susan.

Also someone else who uses or has used MacDrive might be able to help you. What version of MacDrive have you installed on your PC? Did you restart WindowsXP PC after installing MacDrive? Can you see the drive in Disk Management? Right-click on My Computer and select Manage. From the Computer Management screen, select Disk Management. In this window you should see all of your connected physical drives, their format, if they are healthy, and the drive letter. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/find-your-missing-usb-drive-on-windows- xp/ Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 2.66GHz / 4GB / 1067 MHz DDR3 / 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200rpm OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au','','','')wamug- unsubscr...@wamug.org.au -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Re: wd passport
Neil, Appreciated your post. The history is I brought a WD 500GB passport HD. Then purchased Macdrive 8 so I could format the HD to HFS+. I was then able to copy my files onto HD. At this point I could read from The ext HD on both my home PC and Mac. Had a need to take to work the HD to access so files. Wasn't able to read the HD on the work computer. Tried a few things which may have lost my ablity to mount again on the home Mac but can read on home PC Will take your advice and contact Mediafour (MacDrive developer) for help cheers john On Thu May 20 12:27 , Neil Houghton n...@possumology.com sent: Re: wd passport Hi John, I have not been following this topic, so not sure of the background, etc. However, when you say: Any body got any suggestions, bearing in mind that all I wanted was an external device that would work similiar to USB stick but larger capacity that would plug in to PC and MAC My first reaction is that all my USB sticks are formated MS-DOS (fat 32) - which gives the convenience you require - but, of course, is limited to a 32GB volume size. For larger drives, some people find a three partition system suits them: Partition A: HFS+ Partition B: FAT 32 (max 32 GB) Partition C: NTFS When on the Mac: Partitions A B are accessible When on the PC: Partitions B C are accessible Partition A is used for Mac work and Partition C for PC work. Partition B can be accessed by either OS without additional software. It all depends on how you intend to use the drive re Mac files, PC files and files you want accessible to both. Of course, having purchased the latest version of Macdrive, that should (according to their website) enable simple cross-platform access to your hfs+ drive! If I were in your position, given you have purchased MacDrive8, I would be looking first to their support site: http://www.mediafour.com/support/updates/product/macdrive8.en-US I also find it best to use a systematic approach to troubleshooting - starting from a working configuration and documenting how/when a problem occurs. In your case, you said that your set-up initially worked on your home Mac and home PC, but not on your work PC. Now you say that it works on the PC only (I presume that this is the home one and that the work one still can't access it) and not on the Mac. This might suggest that the PC (or Macdrive on the PC) has somehow upset the formatting of the hfs+ drive and you may have compounded your original problem - making it harder to troubleshoot. If it was me, I'd go back to square one here - back-up any data you need off this drive, while you still have some access to it, and start again. Given that the function of MacDrive is to give the PC access to a Mac hfs+ drive, I would make sure that I started troubleshooting with a drive that was OK on the Mac - so my approach would be: 1) Back-up any data you need from the drive. 2) On the Mac erase and re-format the disk - verify the disc and make sure that everything is working fine. 3) Check that Macdrive can still access the drive on your home PC (it's always worked on this PC, right?) 4) Confirm that everything is working as it should on both the Mac and your home PC if not make a note of any strangeness/messages and sort this out first. 5) When you are happy that all is working as it should on the home PC Mac, go to the work Machine: - Make sure it meets all the MacDrive system requirements - Make a note of the Windows version/configuration (will help if you have problems to report) - I would probably re-install MacDrive8 on this machine (you never had it working on this PC, right?) 6) Connect the drive to your work PC and try to access it with MacDrive. If there are any problems: - make a note of Exactly what happened, including any error messages - check out MacDrive knowledgebase and forums to see if it matches any known/reported problems. - if not, raise a ticket with MacDrive support - report it all back here I must stress that I have no direct experience with this software (MacDrive) - these are just my thoughts on a logical troubleshooting sequence and being able to gather the data necessary to help support personnel solve your problem.

Re: CAD progs at TAFE?
Paul, Leederville uses AutoCad. There is a student version which is available. details can be obtained from college dept. Bad news is it wont run on the imac. It will run on a Macbook Pro under windows. Suggest if interested look at the new Mac book pro 13 John Hatch On Tue Jun 9 14:43 , Paul Weaver pwea...@westnet.com.au sent: We have a daughter who may be doing an architectural drafting course at TAFE next year.

Re: CAD progs at TAFE?
Paul, Be careful. If you are enrolling at Central to do the drafting course at Leederville then they will only being using AutoCad and will need to read autocad files. Trust me I work here john On Tue Jun 9 20:03 , Paul Weaver pwea...@westnet.com.au sent: Thank you for all the useful advice so far. Plenty of Mac CAD options. What drove this question was that we can take advantage of the ATO's 50 percent Education Tax Refund if we make a parental decision on a new computer before the end of the month. We are thinking a new 24 inch iMac for $1250 might be handy for our daughter's ongoing CAD efforts. One other question. Is there a standard format for saved CAD files so that they can be read by different CAD apps?
