For a while now I have been wanting to jump aboard the Mac OSX bandwagon.
details
I have been trying to find the easiest and cheapest way to achieve this (if the word cheap can even apply here, maybe less expensive is more accurate). Initially I thought about getting an iMac 21.5, then i thought about getting the MacBook Pro 13" so that if I want to take it with me I can. I think i'm pretty much decided on the MacBook Pro but I was thinking of another option. I totaled up how much a Mac Mini, upgraded to 4GB RAM, Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard would cost me and...

I experienced a really weird problem this morning with my MacBook.
details
Most days, I have it plugged in to the AC adapter, ethernet, 2 USB devices, a second monitor, and speakers all at the same time. So pretty much every port is full. Lately, I've been experiencing problems with the ethernet connection in my dorm room. My computer doesn't connect to the internet in the morning, but the connection comes back around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I thought it was the Universities problem. Then this morning, I found that the connection had lasted all night, and it... Read more →

I need a NAS solution for my apartment that works with my 13" Unibody Macbook Pro, my roommate's old Sony laptop running Vista, and my PS3.
details
It would also be nice if it streamed to my iPhone 4 as well. The main purpose would be to stream music and HD movies (MKV and converted MP4, 720p and 1080p). My PS3 is on a wired connection to my existing old Dlink router and our laptops connect wirelessly. My current process is to enable file sharing on my Macbook, then connect to that IP address through my PS3's web browser and transfer the files before I can watch them. Not only is it slow, but it takes up precious space on the... Read more →

Anyone else stil having wifi woes in 10.5.8?
details
It's been a couple of weeks now since 10.5.8 was pushed out, but the wifi connection issues it introduced still haven't been resolved for me. Although Apple did release this download: http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPort_Client_... to fix the bug on some models, mine doesn't seem to be covered, so the patch won't install. Is anyone else still suffering with this? Any ideas on a fix? -I've read articles like this:... Read more →
