Awesome, thank you. It looks like she can handle Lion but would not have Air Drop. I think for now Snow Leopard is a good step. I believe a battery from apple will run like $130. Is there a cheaper option? Hers is all but dead and that's fine but it'd be nice to upgrade. Not a need to have item though.
[QUOTE=Lilyo;41941700]I tried putting an installation image on a dvd to reinstall tiger on an old mac but it wont boot up when restarting and holding or tapping C or holding Option (it doesn't show up) and when the computer boots and I click the install it says press the button bellow (restart) to start the installation but then the computer just restarts and nothing happens. Does anyone know how I could install it some other way or am i doing something wrong?[/QUOTE] Had the same problem. Make a Panther install CD or DVD. Install Panther. Then upgrade to Tiger.
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;41946107]Had the same problem. Make a Panther install CD or DVD. Install Panther. Then upgrade to Tiger.[/QUOTE] Panther will actually boot? I wanna try using disk utility to erase and restore the os from a usb? Would that work?
[QUOTE=Lilyo;41947694]Panther will actually boot? I wanna try using disk utility to erase and restore the os from a usb? Would that work?[/QUOTE] Assuming it's a G3 Mac or newer, but not new enough to be using New World ROM, yes, Panther will work where Tiger doesn't. What I did was run from a Tiger disk on a working Tiger machine, wiped the HDD, then the Tiger discs wouldn't boot anymore. So I used a Panther disk and it worked fine. Installed Panther, installed Tiger, the end. The machine in question was a dual 500Mhz PowerMac G3 graphite.
Anyone know how to make people "light up" in skype group calls when they talk? On Windows when anyone talks they get a glow around their picture, whereas on OS X the only thing that changes is their name turns blue. That'd be [i]alright[/i] if not for the fact their names only appear when you mouseover. I've tried reading skype's online docs but they're a load of shit.
So I'm trying to get ahold of an older MacBook for school because I need a portable computer, and I'm going to be doing a little bit of FC7 work, what's the oldest I should go? It has to have a disc drive. [editline]24th August 2013[/editline] And do Apple Laptops with 7200RPM HDDs actually exist?

Actually thinking of going for a 2008 or a 17 inch 2007.
Is there a way to make the preview window in FCP 7 widescreen? I want to know when something is standard or widescreen.
[QUOTE=Periwinkle;41965816]Is there a way to make the preview window in FCP 7 widescreen? I want to know when something is standard or widescreen.[/QUOTE] what do you mean? it changes depending on the video file you're playing...
why would you need visual feedback to tell if what you're working on is widescreen anyways
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;41966495]why would you need visual feedback to tell if what you're working on is widescreen anyways[/QUOTE] Because pictures, and when I make the scale huge I'd like it to take up the whole screen. Even when I use a 720p background picture it's still 4:3

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;41966737]you mean where the slug usually is or in the project output?[/QUOTE] No, in the actual video. It only shows 4:3. I want the preview window to show a certain resolution so I can figure out if it's showing widescreen or not. Maybe I just need to change my export settings. Anyway, thinking of actually going with an Air and a SuperDrive.

What is this program? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aUKQR91.jpg[/IMG] That's my screenshot. I had it with a theme I liked but it somehow got deleted and I can't remember what it's called. Pretty sad.

All of these cool desktop apps make me want an Apple machine.
My iphone 4 lock button broke. Just went limp when I picked it up off my desk. I swear these things have a timer inside of them, so they break just so you have to buy a new one.
I'm considering ditching my desktop when I get next year's scholarship money... Getting myself a nice iMac. However, there is one thing that worries me about that plan, and that's that the new iMacs have 600M series GPUs. Any idea what the performance difference between a 650M and a 560Ti would be? And what's the chance of an iMac Haswell upgrade in the next year? And would I be able to continue my PC gaming habit if I did so? (That's the important part.)
[QUOTE=Agoat;41980558]All of these cool desktop apps make me want an Apple machine.[/QUOTE] Yeah, although you can customize the crap out of Windows, I like the Simple, Easy customization of OS X more than this overly flashy rainmeter theme most people in Post Your Desktop have.
