Solve : Disk defragmenter for Mac - Do I really need it?? |
Answer» My friend is a PC user and very often I see him defragmenting his hard drive. When I questioned him, he replied that it increases his system's speed. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1375 Just about all of those "Do I need to optimize?" bullet points [summary: "No"] apply equally WELL to the other modern operating SYSTEMS running on modern hardware. I forgot to MENTION that if you are using a SSD (Solid State Drive), then you never need to defrag no matter what the operating system is. If you ever plan on upgrading you should get one. The price for capacity isn't very good yet. In a year or two. . . Quote from: Linux711 on May 19, 2011, 10:29:02 AM http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1375 Thanks for the link dear. I think I didn't find any noticeable change because size of my data was too small. But defragmentation could be a HELPING hand if: 1. You have large SIZED files 2. Your hard drive is almost full 3. You frequently modify large files What is your opinion? Quote from: Linux711 on May 19, 2011, 10:58:30 AM I forgot to mention that if you are using a SSD (Solid State Drive), then you never need to defrag no matter what the operating system is. If you ever plan on upgrading you should get one. The price for capacity isn't very good yet. In a year or two. . . You just have to watch out for TRIM Quote from: Salmon Trout on May 19, 2011, 05:00:52 AM Defragmentation is something that many people think is a magic speedup spell, but it sounds like you are wise enough to doubt this. If a disk is very badly fragmented, then it can slow a system down quite a lot, and defragging can bring it back to normal (as long as the disk is not too full) but if the state of fragmentation is not too bad, then as you have noticed, not much difference (if any) will be seen. Also you don't need to do it very often. As there was no inbuilt Mac program to defrag Mac so I used a third party tool. The status of my disk was really very bad and it was fragmented very badly. After defragmenting the entire disk , my Mac performance raised by 8%. So, I think , it was an intelligent investment. Quote from: stevenros on June 02, 2011, 03:42:46 AM The status of my disk was really very bad and it was fragmented very badly.Very doubtful, given the way most modern filesystems work. I've never run disk defragmentor on this machine and it still shows it as 0% fragmented. Also, for all we know the piece of software you found is a scam that pretends your filesystem is fragmented badly. Quote After defragmenting the entire disk , my Mac performance raised by 8%. So, I think , it was an intelligent investment.Where did this 8% figure come from? |

Solve : When Apples go bad.? |
Answer» Today, Apple made some of the most stupid changes I have ever seen in the store. First off, Mac OS X Lion released today. Ok everything is fine I guess... WRONG. One thing I don't agree on is the fact that you cant buy it on CD. Lets say you hard DRIVE fails. You replace it your self and then you are STUCK with installing 10.6 and then upgrading that to 10.7. Apple also made some changes to there products. For $999 dollars you can get a rich man's netbook (Macbook Air). No more white plastic macbooks . The specs on the new Macbook air are just BAD if you ask me. But I guess if you are looking for something that small, its worth it. There is also a new mac mini for $599, no CD drive anymore. I don't care how great you make your product look. They are overpriced! Oh well. Quote I don't care how great you make your product look. They are overpriced! Oh well.Spoken LIKE a true Mac Lover! Just to let you know, you can burn Lion to a DVD after you DOWNLOAD it fro the App Store. You can then use that anytime you want to reinstall Lion. Disc media is starting to be phased out bit by bit. The DVD divers in my computers get used 2 times a year at most. Also, the Air acually pretty *censored* fast thanks to the Solid state memory, and how OS X manages it's self. Macs aren't cheap, but they are by no means terrible. Also, the Air isn't a nethook, so I don't know where you get the idea that should be compared to one.Apple has now announced that you will be able to buy Lion on a USB key as well. "Users who do not have broadband access at home, work or school can download Lion at Apple retail stores and later this August, Lion will be made available on a USB thumb drive through the Apple Store® (www.apple.com) for $69 (US)." -AppleIt's small 11inch screen. I guess I just like classic/older things over new. I do miss my iMac though. Stupid LCD. Quote from: HelpDude88 on July 20, 2011, 09:50:09 PM It's small 11inch screen. I guess I just like classic/older things over new. I do miss my iMac though. Stupid LCD.Have you noticed people who use them have a flat spot on their nose?According to benchmarks, the high-end 2011 MacBook Air is faster than the high-end 2010 MacBook Pro 17". http://www.macrumors.com/2011/07/20/early-benchmarks-reveal-new-macbook-air-rivaling-high-end-2010-macbook-pro/ That really sucks.......considering that I have a 2010 15". Ughhh.....Sandy Bridge...... That's my jealousy talking....I guess if you look into the specs more then it is faster. |

Solve : what encryption does it support??? |
Answer» OK so i own a apple imac G3 with the airport card 012331/A in it. i want to know what types of encryption it has, whether is supports WEP or WPA or not? i tried apples website but no info? any help?If you card is LESS than five years old, it should do both. This reference indicates that is should do both, WEP and WEPA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort Quote The original graphite AirPort base station used 40-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). The SECOND GENERATION model (known as Dual Ethernet or Snow) AirPort base station, like most other Wi-Fi products, used 40-bit or 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). AirPort Extreme and Express base stations retain this option, but also allow and encourage the USE of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and, as of July 14, 2005, WPA2.http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1126the card is dated 1999 and its the first apple airport card so only WEP huh? does that mean zero security or just low? |

Solve : How do you transfer contacts from iPhone to sim card?? |
Answer» I am planning on selling my iPhone 4 but most of my contacts are on the iPhone and not on the sim card. How do I transfer all of my contacts from my iPhone to my sim card? Short of jailbreaking, you cannot transfer your iPhone contacts to your SIM card. I know, its extremely senseless that Apple "left out" this feature. They leave out a rather INORDINATE number of FEATURES given the premium price they ask for the device. |

Is this pretty normal OR, only one of these should work? I went to the Apple store once-there was a MacBook Pro with a Magic Mouse connected to it. Both the mouse and the laptop TOUCHPAD were able to control the mouse when the mouse was PLUGGED in.In OSX I THINK you can check "Ignore trackpad when mouse is present" in the Trackpad tab of the Keyboard & Mouse preferences. Or not, if you prefer. PS the singular is mouse. |

Solve : How to transfer iPhone music to iTunes after reinstall Windows 7? |
Answer» I am experiencing trouble with my IPHONE. I have to reinstalled my ChangeIt's because you blew AWAY the association between your phone and computer. You can't just walk up to any computer to synch your phone, and when you reinstall the OS you start over. There are a few tools that can rescue your songs. I ASSUME you didn't back up any of your songs, before you reinstalled your OS, right? So your music is on the phone only. When I had a disk crash a few years ago, I used ipodrip to restore. It worked. Now I do regular backups. Consider doing that. |

Solve : Monitor Freezes or Goes Blank? |
Answer» I have a dual core 2.66 machine with a Apple Cinema display. This started a few months ago and keeps getting worse. At times when using the scroll wheel on the mouse the machine would just hang with the little colored circle spinning away. The only way to correct this was to unplug the machine and let it sit for SEVERAL minutes before turning it back on. Now at times when using the mouse scroll wheel the SCREEN just turns blank and the same fix is required. I'm not up on electronic parts but is it possible the video card is going bad as it appears something is over HEATING thus the reason I need to wait for a while before restarting.? Any suggestions on what to do will be greatly appreciated. BTW It's out of warranty by a year or so now. Thanks in advance.It would be worth getting it checked to see if this is one of the MBPs that is covered under Apples repair extension program for failing graphics. They will cover the cost of the repair, a NEW logic board if your computer fails the graphics processor test. I have seen a lot of these and some of the symptoms you would not think it would be the graphics. It is only covered for 4 years from its purchase date so it would be worth getting it checked |

Solve : IOS 5 jailbreak for iPod Touch 2nd Gen? |
Answer» my friend wants to update his iPod Touch 2nd Gen to IOS 5, but he did not find the the link to download and update to IOS 5. So he needs a JAILBREAK software or jailbreak methods. Do you know is there any jailbreak method for updating? answer this question on http://www.bidanswer.com/Questions/QuestionInfo_10084.html, he would pay you 4 dollar as a reward. I don't know of any REASON but the only reason that there is no iOS 5 update is probably because the performance would be POUR, the BATTERY would die faster, and the hardware wouldn't be able to handle it and would be bad for it, the reason the 3rd Gen has it is because it has better hardware to be able to handle the OS, if you are really desperate to get it you can try use an iOS 5 update ipsw file for the 3rd gen and use REDSN0W to update, but it most likely wont work, Im not responsible for data loss or DAMAGE. |
