Hmm not sure about the booting problem since it gets that far. There's another virtualization program called VirtualBox that's open-source and maintained by Sun/Oracle. Here (http://www.virtualbox.org/)is the link. It's free. Works the same way as the others, except it's not as integrated.

I'm trying to put a movie on my website. It's on Quicktime, and I have set it up that when you click on the link, it will open in a new smaller window, with the control bar at the bottom. On a Mac, you click play on the control bar and it plays. I am now proud of myself :)
However, :mad:, on a PC it displays an error message (apparently) then plays with sound but a grey screen instead of a picture, even if the viewer has Quicktime. Why is this? And what can I do?
If I have to, I can put a link to a Windows Media file as well, but that would be a bit messy, and the people I would expect to be viewing it should have Quicktime. I just have a feeling something's slightly wrong with the above setup, and you knowledgeable folk will know what's going on.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Have had my macbook 13 inch 2011 for about a month now.
Sometimes when I go to burn a cd i put the cd in but it doesnt grab the cd it doesnt even work..
When I go to reset the computer I can hear the drive put it self back in place, then once the comuter is back from restart it will take the cd in...
Not a huge deal but kinda annoying when I have to retart everytime..
Is there a reason why this is happening?

Yes, any Apple Authorized Service Center will honor the AppleCare. I have worked for two so far, and generally I would recommend them over the Apple Stores for most situations.
I think you have to send it off to Apple for it to be fixed. I'm sure that resellers don't fix products. But I could be wrong. A reseller may replace the laptop, but I'm sure they won't fix it.
Note that he didn't say reseller. That would be a different story.

Nope, none at all. Only thing unexpected is sales tax, makes each song charge like $1.07 or something, depending on where you live...
btw, if any site charges you a fee like that, without telling you, contact your credit card fraud department-- you shouldn't be liable for the charge, and their guys will track it down for you.

If you do a little bit of searing, you can see some pretty cool videos by people using nothing but iPhones, especially the iphone4.
Has anyone here played with the iPhone 4 to do some videos?
I have bought some stuff on eBay such as a wide angle lens and macro lens to play with. I am having a hell of a time trying to find a 15ft or longer 3ring cable extension to attach a external mic to. But once I have that, I'll use another eBay toy to mount it on a small tripod.
Some might wonder why I am bothring with the iPhone as a video tool, but the fact that I can carry a HD camera kit in my shoulder bag is too convenient not to try.
I'll be using it do interviews and creative work.
More to come.

That Millenium Falcon case is the bomb. :)
I don't really understand the co-location services though... I have a hard time seeing why anyone would want to do that, vs. buying real server services...also it's sort of like a kennel for Mac Minis...*sob* I think I would miss my lil' guy something fierce! :(

I you look at the first article on the page, you will see that in a reference to an interview with Apple France director J.R. Cazeneuve, he is quoted as saying Apple worked very well with Motorola on the G5.
Bet ya a million buck we get G5's early next year.
(no, I don't have a million bucks, but hey ho)

Well, I'll be using it for notetaking, the occasional graphic work and quite possibly some numbercrunching come next semester... We'll be doing statistics :eek:
Basically, you could say that what I need is an advanced typewriter, but then again, I imagine that once I get to know the machine, I'll be wanting it to do more stuff? Never had a portable before....
-squirrel
I was thinking the same thing and wanted a powerbook but in the end I didnt have enough cash so I went with a 12" ibook with some extra ram and it has impressed me. I can do graphics work with maya and bryce perfectly well and you will save some money so you can load it with ram and spend the rest of the cash on beer :D .
The ibook has quite a kick I dont think you need a powerbook unless you are going to use pro apps in depth but if you have the cash I wouldn't forget about the powerbook. The question you need to ask yourself is Will I be using the extra power and is the extra cash worth it?

Hello all,
I had a hunch that this would only be a matter of time, and sure enough, it's happened. My November 2009 MacBook has officially begun to crack in a few areas on the case. The main cracking is on the rear of the computer where the hinge connects to the screen. There is also one crack beginning to form on the left side of my palm rest area. I wonder if apple will provide free replacements for this model as well. This makes me believe apple should just get rid of the plastics altogether.

Is there a benefit to having fonts activated and deactivated on the fly?
yeah, so you don't have to put the fonts you want to use in user/library/fonts by hand, like citizenzen and you recommended.
but i agree, what citizenzen added, that there's more important stuff to take care of than solely choosing the typeface. but for organisazion, overview and samples the fontexplorer comes in handy.
at least it does for my work.

Just called around some more, it seems they have the base 27" iMac for $1615 and in stock in several locations.
The top stock 27" iMac isn't in stock anywhere near me (Austin, TX), but it is on sale for $1899, and you can order it online.
I've got my name on a base 27" iMac, and look forward to picking it up after work!

I think you mean labels not studios. Most of the people working at studios work very hard for not much pay.

He must have meant labels. Studios don't make hardly squat, and are not commissioned on sales.

I am not sure if this is the right section.
I like giving away free information based on my experiences. I wish more people did it so I wouldn't have to buy laptop parts from bad suppliers.
I know people like t fix things themselves. What I would like to do here is have a list of good suppliers for certain parts where the end user can buy parts for their Macbook one at a time, and a list of ones to avoid, with the reasons why. My experiences will be devoid of bias, personal remarks, and stick to places where I have had the unfortunate experience of doing repeat business.
I will update this list over time, and I encourage others to chime in. there are many suppliers I have used not listed here since I don't have all the names and information ready off hand.
I am only listing suppliers of use to people looking to buy one part, not places that specialize in quantities of 50+, as that is useless to joe-blow looking to fix his out of warranty laptop.
The hall of fame:
sunvalleytek/sunvalleyus/smartlaptopparts(on ebay)
They have occasionally sent out the incorrect screen, when they did, they paid for return shipping. They offer amazing prices, and a great RMA process
screenaid(on ebay)
see sunvalleyus. They are also great for local pickup in NYC. Unlike sunvalleyus, they do not ship the model they give you in the title. They ship a samsung or something else. For the 13.3" macbook, they do not ship the regular model samsung apple uses. It looks the same to me, but the brightness/dim buttons` on the keyboard will not work unless you have some drivers/a newer OSX installed.
izashop (on ebay)
small things like top cases, bezels, etc. fast shipping, best prices, good parts.
screencountry
Their prices fluctuate greatly, which is unfortunate. However, they have a plethora of LCDs to select from, the occasional quantity discount, great shipping rates, and decent support.
The hall of SHAME:
blisscomputers/expresslcdscreens/browngranite
they claim to use "compatible" parts. However, what they send out is often ****. no model, no name junk with
- bars down the left side of the LCD
- poor fit
- washed out colors
I have, and others have, been roped into buying from them on numerous occasion. I am hoping someone I heard from recently who went through the experience I did will chime in here. Their parts are trash. They are notorious for the 15.4" LED LCDs that go for $177.
It is fine to sell alternative compatible models, but they truly stretch the definition of compatible. screencountry does this with a few LCDs, but they ship out ones where there is no visible difference, of established brand names and well known models.
ultradrives(ebay)
Imagine you buy part A. The eBay ad claims 13 available and a day later you'll receive an email with "GREAT NEWS!" claiming he's totally out of them, but that he can upgrade you to part B. You say sure, then he asks for more money. But you agreed to the price for part A. It's classic bait & switch, while being careless on eBay I made the mistake of using him a few times.

Someone was asking about scanner reviews - not too much that's current out there. Many reviews date from the late 90's!! I guess the push to digital cameras killed most of the market.
http://www.bythom.com/coolscanv.htm
I should note that the 4000ED is my third generation dedicated 35mm scanner. I bought a first generation Nikon personal scanner back in 1993. Hard to get a good scan, as it's dynamic range was pretty bad. My second generation was a Polaroid Sprintscan from 1998. Much better, but single feed and still spotty with complicated slides. I bought the Nikon 4000 in 2003 and have been VERY happy with its performance.
