    Apple's Airport dual channel issues

    Best ways to speed up an old Macbook?

    I have put every new version of OSX up to the current version of Mavericks on my Core2Duo Macbook Pro and it has never slowed down due to updating the operating system. I do have the max of 4 GB of ram installed.

    Apple Event on October 22, 2013

    Mac sleep mode works so well, I never use shutdown. If the battery gets very low, it will do a shutdown anyway. Hold the power button for 1.5 seconds for the choices dialog or hold for 5 seconds for forced shutdown.

    os x leopard 10.5

    Any OSX install disk will work, Mac system software isn't serialized. Find any friend with a disk and you're good to go or take it to an Apple store where support is always free.

    I broke the glass on my Ipad....options?

    My wife did the same thing except it landed on the edge and caved it in and also broke the glass. Went to the Apple store and explained what happened and he said as a one time courtesy, Apple would replace it. Went in the back and returned with a referb that looked perfect, no charge and we did...

    Just ordered my new computer

    No you don't, the system profiler even shows you how to do it. I added 8GB instead of 16 so the original 4GB stays in place.

    Just ordered my new computer

    I just ordered an additional 8GB of memory for my new iMac for $47 from OWC. Never dreamed I would ever have 12GB of memory in my personal computer. That's 96,000 times what my first Mac had (1/8MB) and was not expandable!

    network question

    I don't think this works anymore. I used to do that but after upgrading to Snow Lepoard it would not work. I got a 1TB Time Capsule two years ago, it's backing up four Macs and still has 600 MB free.

    thinking about my next mac... looking at the mac book air

    The reason there's no Ethernet port on the Air is the socket is thicker than the computer! Can't live without built-in Ethernet, buy a fatter computer.

    Apple IPAD Owner's Thread

    Sling works, I watched the Evening News yesterday at my sister's house. It's a bit blurry since it is for iPhone and double sized. My sling is the Classic so it should work for Solo too. Hope the iPad version still works with my old Sling.

    Who's buying a tablet?

    I'm definitely buying one. Used an iPhone for two weeks on vacation instead of taking a laptop and the only issue was the tiny screen and it wasn't that bad. Didn't miss Flash at all, many flash sites had iPhone versions anyway. Instead of the wife and I fighting over the laptop at home in the...
