Link to video from iPhone 4 conference / Steve Jobs

2010-07-18 Thread Daniel Kerr
In the press conference they referenced a video about the so called Antenna problem. Was just having a look through it and it's very funny (and well done). The same guy then wrote one about Steve Jobs, which is actually quite good as well. For those interested, the links are here:- The iPhone

Hi Ronni I was using a 17 MacBook Pro as my primary machine, which was backed up to a Time Capsule. Some evidence of hard disk failure started to appear in the MBP, which ultimately led to me taking it in for inspection. The hard disk was replaced. I had to leave the MBP to await replacement

I'm a newbie on Mac, 13 MBP, from Linux for a decade. Still have all my other machines on Linux (Mint). When I got my MBP I looked at Time Capsule and read the reports on the Apple site. Horror!! Hundreds of complaints. Seemed not to last past 2 years at most, most from a fried power supply,

Correction ... the 13 Macbook I referred to is an MBP also I think ... anyway, the one in the aluminium case. It's probably irrelevant anyway. On 18/07/2010, at 2:06 PM, Jim D wrote: I'm a newbie on Mac, 13 MBP, from Linux for a decade. Still have all my other machines on Linux (Mint).

Hi Steven, You can't restore to a different machine from a Time Machine backup, the restore has to be to the same computer. If you want to transfer your files to a different Mac, you should use Migration Assistant instead. The Migration Assistant appears when you are first setting up your

Our server died last Sunday. Not to worry we admitted to palliative care some time ago but its death was rather inconvenient. We backed up the entire drive the day before. We have taken 2 or 3 other copies on other drive just in case. In the mean time we are going to use an Intel iMac

Hi Stuart, Re point 1 I don't think you'll get better network performance out of the faster iMac as I believe they both support gigabit speeds. I do think you might get better Genie response out of the faster machine, though this depends on what else you'll be doing on it. I also look after

Thanks Rod Interesting,.. As Ruben said, wonder if it (the Firewire) was using a 5400rpm Hard Drive and the USB one using a 7200rpm Hard Drive. Normally would be faster with Firewire. Interesting to see though. Kind Regards Daniel On 19/7/10 6:40 AM, Rod Blitvich rb...@iinet.net.au wrote: Hi

Hi Steven, Your inadvertent attachment shows us something...the file is full of NULL bytes. I.e. it's a 760 kb file full of zeros. There is no data. This can happen if your original disk was corrupt...and you say that the machine died? If the disk was corrupt, and it was giving zeros instead of
