this may sound ridiculous, but try plugging in the headphones and then unplugging them over and over a bunch of times. Something similar happened to my iphone and this fixed it. There's a sensor that detects when headphones are removed so the ipod can pause music that's playing and it can get...

here's what i've got on my macbook and my macbook pro

where'd you get that great wallpaper?

I guess you're talking about the home theater? Well, if that's the case, what you don't see in that picture is the blackout shades covering the bay windows, but even then I don't spend much time during the day sitting in front of the tv.

Yeah, it's an Epiphone Les Paul Custom body but all the hardware and electronics have been swapped out with genuine Gibson parts

My humble dwelling:

are you using a Mac or a PC to sync your iPhone? On a Mac you can create groups in Address Book and then those groups automatically get synched. Not sure how you would go about doing it in Win.

This is just speculation. No one outside of Apple really knows what the iMac revisions will look like or what their specs will be. Yes, the iMacs will probably be updated soon, but no one here (or anywhere on the web) can say for 100% certainty when or what the refresh will be. As far as...

I have a mighty mouse and love it. It takes a bit to get used to, as it definitely doesn't feel so much like a traditional mouse, but once you're accustomed to it, it's great. I can definitely see why some people might not like the whole "1 button, but really 2 buttons depending on where you...

break down easily? 4 desktop macs, 3 mac notebooks, and 7 ipods and I've only had to get service on 1 thing ( a macbook with a bad power inverter for the screen). I guess in my experience I don't see where you're coming from. If this is for homework, you might want to back up that statement...

I recently made the same upgrade to my own 2.0ghz C2D MacBook. I'm a digital media artist in my day job, so obviously Photoshop, Illustrator, Aperture, and Final Cut all sped up, but even when I'm at home sitting on the couch surfing the web I notice how much smother things are. Having 4 Adium...

as a proud Acura owner, I'm pretty offended by that statement. I'm not an "idiot" for buying a "rebadged" Honda. Yes, Honda owns Acura, and of course there are similarities but my TSX isn't just an American Domestic Accord with an "A" instead of an "H". It's a different style, built for a...

yeah, the Superdrive growling noise is definitely not an issue and common to ever slot-loading Mac laptop i've come in contact with (which is currently up to about a dozen at the office ranging from ibooks up to mbp's). It's scary the first time you hear it, for sure, but there's nothing wrong...

technically you can't uninstall Quicktime as it's the framework that itunes was built on and runs on. What you uninstall is the Quicktime player but the framework (just like microsoft's directx or the .net framework) stays. More on topic, I understand why people might not like iTunes on...

got my A04 today and I must say, it's absolutely gorgeous. No dead or stuck pixels, no banding, the color is decent (but could stand a good calibration). I have it set up at work where it was delivered so i haven't been able to do anything other than photoshop with it but i've got to say, it...

Yep, you sure can. That's one of the great things about OSX, it's simplicity. Now, depending on the program, there might be residual preference files and such, but 99% of the time they're tiny to the point of being insignificant, and 100% of the time they won't have any effect on the...

a 1680x1050 monitor is not "nothing more then a 1280x1024 monitor stretched horizontally". Using your logic, a 1900x1200 monitor is nothing more than a vga montor stretched horizontally and scaled up some. While the image you linked to is definitely helpful to illustrate the differences between...

about a month ago I purchased the 2.0ghz White Macbook w/ 1gb of ram and I can honestly say the only time my system lags even the slightest is when I fire up either Parallels or Photoshop CS2. I've considered moving up to 2gb, but I've finally completely separated myself from windows, so no...

For sale is an 18 month old IBM T42 Laptop, model 2379dxu, perfect for a college student or a mobile professional. This laptop has been treated great, I'm only selling it because I need a Mac for work. It's even still under warranty through the manufacturer for another 18 months. Specs are...

I'm selling my year old IBM T42 Laptop (Model # 2379dxu). Perfect condition, no visible wear. Specs are: -15" LCD (1400x1050 res) -Pentium M 1.7 ghz -1.5gb RAM -60gb HDD -Radeon 9600 Mobile gfx -CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive -Built-In gigabit ethernet, 802.11g wifi, Bluetooth - ~2 years left...

That's not true. All modern laptops (and just about every other CE device made with a rechargeable battery) have overcharge protection circuits built-in. When the laptop is plugged in, some of the power coming from your transformer is powering the laptop and some of the power is diverted to...

another vote for DVDShrink. The one thing i think i do slightly differently tho is I rip dvd's as .iso images and then mount them with daemon tools. makes it easier for me to move movies off to my laptop or ipod to use on the road later.

For me, I never saw the point in the 19" monitor. Sure, it's 2 inches bigger diagonally but it's still just 1280x1024. That means pixels are larger, which means the picture quality won't be as sharp (or rather, on a 17" it's more forgiving of the source material than a 19" at the same...

Isn't that why it's called the Mac Pro and not just the Mac?

no, you can rightfully say that the 24" imac is paired with a shitty video card for your purposes or for gaming. apple doesn't make gaming machines; they make consumer machines and prosumer machines. what has apple ever done to give you the impression that they're even remotely interested in...

i'm pretty sure that gaming isn't what apple had in mind with the imac. on the plus side, the 24" looks to be an amazing machine for web and graphic design.

that's not entirely true. take me for instance: a freelance web designer working alone entirely on local storage. I've got a 1.8ghz single proc, single core powermac g5 that's getting really long in the tooth, but it's running a 30" apple cinema display, 4 gig of ram and two 500gig harddrives...

well, that machine has two ram slots. one's populated with a 128mb stick and the other one has a blank in it.

I've got 2 extra PCs lying around and would like to (hopefully) turn one into a thin client HTPC. They're both kinda crappy, so that's why i'm asking what kinda requirements i'm looking at to literally just bring content to my home theater. Here's the stats on the 2 pcs: 1) P3 - 450mhz, 384...
