Hey guys,
I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to Mac repair. I did alot of PC tower work back in the day but I've recently been working on a MacPro tower for my student run TV station on campus.
Basically I plugged the machine in and before pressing any button it will click, the light will turn on simultaneously and it won't respond to the button being clicked. Also when I pull the power out it will click as it did when I plug it in.
So I figured this was some sort of power supply issue. After spending hours trying to find the right tool to get the heat sink off I pulled the power supply out. I looked in through the vent holes and it looked as if some sort of grey plastic had melted all over the internals. This was the second power supply for this unit and I found the first unit had the same grey matter inside but not in the same places.
Do you guys think it's worth my time to drop the money to get a new power supply or am I dealing with a bigger issue?
Thanks !

could be the fan on the processor or a fan elsewhere in the imac
my powermac did the same thing and all it needed was a little oil on the ball-bearings of the fan on the cpu

Hi, can anyone help recommend an HD camcorder for me? It can be a regular camcorder or pocket camcorder, whichever you recommend based on the following...
Budget: Cheaper is better, but not an issue.
Purpose: Will be recording amateur basketball games for film study and also doing unrelated news stories and interviews.
Features: Must be able to record at least an hour without recharging. Must also be able to easily upload to laptop for editing! I was considering the Flip Ultra HD but I read something about how it's impossible to upload to your computer unless you have a 3.0GHZ processor or better?
Also, some of the will be broadcast on TV so the audio must be good enough for playback on TV...
Thank you so much.

Why not just pay the $18.00 and get it over with? Honestly, $18.00 isn't bad at all. It's really nothing.
Because that $18 becomes $25 in the future...and on and on it goes.
It's a purely profit move by all the cell phone carriers especially if you order online and get zero help "setting up" you phone.
Tmobile USA is even worst. $35 for upgrade fees.
What exactly are they doing to justify this upgrade fee?
That being said they stopped waiving my upgrade fees after 2009.

I remember the good old days of advantix, I thought it was great too for casual shots. I'd take the time and pick only the good pics you want to save then just scan a couple everytime you sit at the computer. Thats what i did for all my old prints, it may take awhile but doesn't cost anything, and you control the results.

Stardom's unit is quite solid and pretty, but you should be aware, that its fan is definitely loud. The sound can be heard from meters away in an otherwise silent environment. That fan also has low radius, and so its pitch is quite high, which can be annoying.

Someone on another forum suggested I try to transfer the files and folders in small batches. I tried and it mysteriously worked. I managed to transfer everything folder by folder; it was arduous but it did the job.

You can bridge the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule together. That will give you five Gig-E output ports. You only need one of them running Wifi though - otherwise they will compete with one another.
Plug the Mini Server and NAS into one of those two. Obviously the Mini Server is the central repository. Use Home Sharing to send the files to your laptops. I guess the iPod Touch goes through the laptop for configuration. If you can wire in the AppleTV (although it is only 100Base-T), you should since you are carrying 320GB. Otherwise Wifi transfers will be a little slow.
As for all the external hard drives. You might as well hang them all off the Mac Mini (assuming they are USB). It can serve them out just as well/better than the Time Capsule or AEBS.
Not that I don't have a lot of hard drives lying about, but it seems like you might have overkill there.
As for MobileMe, if rumors are to be believed, wait a month or so and that world is going to change.
FYI, I have a server running in the basement which is hardwired into an AEBS and Linksys WRT54G, so similar to what you are proposing. The server has a 2TB Time Machine drive and a 1TB iTunes drive which is basically a 24/7 duplicate of my main computer's iTunes library. My main computer has a 640GB main drive and a 1TB media drive for my iTunes Library. I've got a couple AppleTV's (250GB and 40GB), iPhones (original and 4G), some iPods and now an iPad2.

A tad late to the party, are we?
I like your strategy though. Wait until the contest gets down to the final few and then jump in! Brilliant!

Note the logo on the cover of the manual. I didn't realize they had that logo so early in the company's history.

OK in all seriousness, if you mean how to join the folding team, refer to the sticky threads at the top of this forum.

You're editing with a PAL frame size at an NTSC frame rate... fix that... PAL 720x576 @ 25fps or NTSC 720x480 @ 29.97fps

Boy that sure sounds like the kind of tool a spammer would like!
We get a lot of spam here that follows a particular kind of model. A wee bit of text that seems related enough to the thread at hand to now immediately raise suspicion, but doesn't quite connect to the thread and has a completely unrelated link in the post's signature.

Only the RAM it sees. The address space for the remaining RAM is not available to the OS. This is a chipset limitation and appears both in OSX and Windows.
Got ya, thanks for the info.

I read where someone installed imovie using ifile. How do you go about this? I have iMovie on my PC; is there a way to log into my PC through my iPad (via iFIle) and do it this way?
Thanks.
Thanks.

hey all,
*i am* not actually selling this on MR, but a friend of mine wanted to know what a fair asking price for this would be. given it's two years old and its battery life is not what it used to be, what would a good price be? i figured my smart mac friends would know, even though this IS MR lol. thanks in advance.
I am interested in that machine so my wife has a comp she can use... If you your friend is interested in selling, I may be interested in buying.

Hey - I downloaded one client 6.24.1, installed it and tried to open it via the application icon in the applications folder but it said it wouldn't work on my machine. I don't really want to go the terminal route. BUT, I went to system preferences and looked in the Other section and there was a Folding icon so I entered a user name and the MR team number and clicked the button. So, is it working? How do I tell? the terminal route isn't that hard. it may look daunting, but i think it runs better and is less intrusive. i can walk you through it
