latest questions
Just got the 4s this week and im wondering about something. I can see the geolocation data on the iphone photo app but when i transfer these to iphoto, the pics seem to lose that geolocation data. Am i doing something wrong? Missing a setting in iphoto? I can manually set that data in iphoto but that seems like twice the work!

Why does the two finger swipe on Safari OS X Lion not work on my user account only using the Magic Trackpad?
Works on other user accounts on my iMac but not on mine. All user accounts at home including mine are standard. I use a separate account for Admin. Two finger swipe works at time but with a considerably fast or forceful gesture. Mostly you can see that the previous or next pages or safari show up a bit but the current page just springs back - refusing to move. Have checked my preferences, sensitivity, reset a d repaired the trackpad, deleted the .plist file (unless there are more). Would be good...

Can you identify the speed bottleneck?
Between a desktop connected via wired ethernet to Airport Extreme 5th Gen (Gigabit ethernet) connected via a powered USB 2.0 hub to an external USB hard drive which spins at 5400RPM, what would be speed bottleneck?
USB 2.0
or
HDD RPM
or
Gigabit Ethernet
or
USB Hub
I ask because I have an option of switching to a 7200RPM drive and not sure if its worth it. This setup is ONLY for Time Machine backups. A couple of laptops will be connecting over WiFi N for TM backups but my primary desktop which I'm most... Read more →

over the last month, i've noticed some gray/white lines at the very top of my display. they're about dead center & span 3-4".
i can't really see it if i play a movie or if the screen's all black. it only shows up with lighter colors. any ideas what would cause this?
by mjpuczko
maybe a dumb question:
if i have an HD movie on my imac, will this play in HD via the new appleTV to my tv (obviously hd. 720p)? i haven't been able to find much online.

Replace Optical Drive in mid 2007 24" iMac
My optical drive has pretty much burned out and needs to be replaced. Apple of course, charge approx. $500 to replace it. A raw drive should cost under $100. The specs list an Optiarc AD-5630A, however, this drive is very difficult to find online. Has anyone else substituted a different replacement drive successfully?

Image and text ghosting on iMac display
I've had my 2nd gen 24" iMac for about 3 months now and I'm just starting to notice ghost images on the screen especially with text. I run spaces and if I switch desktops after using my browser for an hour or more to iPhoto for example I can see and read some of the text from safari on the grey iPhoto background. I also also use RDP to connect into my Windows laptop and work off of my iMac with the laptop lid closed. After working a full 8hrs I logged out of my laptop session and...

Grey/brown stains behind glass
Hi, I've had my iMac for about a year now, and after some time, brown-greyish stains started to appear behind the glass, just below the top border and stretching about half the width of the display. Especially with white underneath it, the stains are pretty obvious. They kind of cloudy, you can see them here: http://www.studiovisch.nl/vince/imacstains.jpg Anyone know what this could be or does anyone have the same problem? My guess is it could be from smoking at my desk, or is that just...

Monitor burn in?
My iMac is starting to get these sort of semi-circles at the corners of the screen that look like they're burned into the back of the glass. It has happened before and I took it in to the Apple repair center, and they opened it up and said that it was just dust so they cleaned it out. However, the lines are back. I'm still under AppleCare, but that runs out in about a year, and I don't really want to have a computer with streaks and lines running all across the monitor. Has anyone...

Boot Camp Partition Error
I've been trying to load Windows 7 through Boot Camp to play around with but every time Boot Camp goes to partition my drive I get an error that some files could not be moved. I know sometimes this is because there is not enough free space but I have 90GM free! I created a backup of my Mac HD and rebooted from my install disk and had the disk utility erase it and reload the backup on to it so I'm going to see how it did tonight. Fingers crossed!
