Hardware :: Can Anyone Identify This Mac Accessory?
Jan 22, 2009
I'm wondering if someone identify the accessory in this picture. It's the little silver tower at the left of his MacBook Pro. Also the screen appears to picture something related to this item. It looks really cool but I haven't been able to find out what it is!
My Kids are using an old iMac G3. When I open the iMac, I recognized, that one of the two pins (?), which holds the cpu-cooler is missed. I don't know the exact name of that, and wonder, where I can buy one to fit the cooler again into the right position. I don't wont to buy another logicboard to exchange the parts.
The 1tb HD that came with my iMac is shown in System Profiler as ST31000342ASQ. I've done some searches on this and can't find a match anywhere, does anyone know what model Seagate would refer to it on their site as?
I bought a 20" iMac G5 (PPC) in September 2005 for my husband. Looking on internet sites for information on how to repair the power supply, it seems we need to find the EMC number. The iMac certainly does not have it printed on the label under the stand, only the serial and the ethernet numbers.
I began hearing a sound about every minute that I assume is some kind of alert or notification that something needs attention but I can't determine what it is. It sounds like a single pick of a guitar string. I recently downloaded an upgrade to microsoft office but can't recall if it began right after that or not.

I'm trying to figure out which Model of Mac I have so I can install more RAM, but the chart given is conflicting. I have a 17" Macbook Pro that I bought from BestBuy with Model Identifier "MacBookPro6,2" but I look on this chart here, and the only 6,2 is a 15" Model. I don't get it.For the most part, the "MacBook Pro6,1" defines my hardware I guess, but I'm concerned as to why there is no 6,2 17" on the chart when clearly I own one.
My iMac will not boot up after a software update. the screen is all whute will show a grey apple in the middle and will look like it is working but nothing happens; this can go on forever.
I usually leave my iMac turned on with just the monitor switched off. That was also the case when I left yesterday for a day trip. Coming back today, I noticed that it was shutdown. Pressing the power button, I can hear the familiar "ding" of boot up, the fans running, the usual dvd drive sound and after that it just shuts down. Not even the monitor will power on. Before I start panicking since various thoughts are crossing my mind, is there anything that I can try to possible identify what's wrong?
My Mac Mini cannot identify USB drives (flash drive) when starting / restarting, I have to unplug and then replug the flash USB drive to make my Mac to identify itSame USB drive from same Mac machine from the same USB port is properly identified by Ubuntu (12.04 LTS) installed in a didderent partition!I have all software updated to the latest available version.I have another problem (with widescreed, Ubuntu does well here as well) which may be in the same nature is in a seperate thread: url...
Mail identifies some good mail as junk and treats it as such. How can I tell it that it is not junk so that future mail from that sender goes to my In box.Â

I am trying to troubleshoot a bluetooth speaker on my Mac and I was wondering if there is a way to identify which Bluetooth profile the speaker is using (2.0, 3.0, 4.0, etc.)? Is there a way to find out this information - either in System Information or by using an app?
I know I'm a recovering PC user. Vista ran me away from PCs for good. Actually, constant crashes and the gift of an antique iBook got me off of PCs. I now have the old beat up iBook and one of those aluminum iMacs. I know also that the iMac is apparently rather looked down on, but really, it was almost perfect for me: it's like the world's nicest lap top, only not portable. At any rate, I had a major issue with a Safari update on my iBook (which I had affectionately dubbed "the Road Apple" until I learned that this is something of an insult amongst Mac users.) At any rate, the battery is really on it's absolute last legs on my venerable machine, and I'd like learning what this thing is so that I can begin the hunt for a battery.
All I can really say right now (because I don't know what to look for or what to tell you) is that it's a clamshell with a nifty built-in handle, it's white with fluorescent green "trim (?) and a white keyboard. It features a _bizarre_ power adapter that I have learned is referred to as a "yo-yo." The "About this Mac" button gives me this: Mac OSX 10.4.11 Processor 466 MHZ PowerPC G3 Memory 576 MB When I click "more info," it tells me this: Machine name: iBook Machine Model: PowerBook 2,2 [yes; it's a comma] CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (22.2) [a period; not a comma] Number of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 467 MHz L2 Cache (per CPU) 256 KB Memory: 576 MB Bus Speed: 67 MHz Boot ROM Version: 3.3.3f3
Then there's the serial number and the Sales Order Number. Is there anyone who can give some idea of just what of all this I need to know to battery shop, and maybe some idea of the actual vintage of this machine? I'm sure it's old and outdated, but I _love_ this thing; it's stood me in great stead for some time now, and even though I _know_ those hardware specs are decrepit (at least from a PC perspective), this thing has consistently outperformed my PC (except in speed, but again: low numbers) and still outperforms my wife's new PC-based Dell netbook in everything but graphics.
So, its come that time where I am starting to get the "your startup disk is almost full" messages, and I was wondering what software you guys use to identify the biggest files on your computer to efficiently delete and make more room?
I want to be able to create a video with multiple, angled pictures, preferably with the reflection effect, like in this one (NOT my video, I'm not trying to gain views or anything) - skip to 0:30:

I've seen many videos on YouTube with the exact same effect and I'm wondering which software they're using to create them.
Emptied trash, but need to get some notes back. Did a scan with minitool Mac data recovery, but with so much available for recovery, I'd like to be able to identify. What partition my notes would be in and what the file would look like. I have used recovery software, but am unsure how to identify my deleted (from trash) notes.

Safari is giving me a pop up that says "Safari doesn't identify this website". It comes up every time I search and when i press continue the webpage doesn't load properly.
I want to connect a wireless Epson XP 510 printer. Installed drivers from the Epson website but they do not appear to be compatible according to the drop down list in the apple menu for adding a printer.
I got a file named myfile.dat from my supervisor and he said myfile.dat is a helix database file. I tried to open that file after installing helix server 6.1.5, but I couldnt open it. I am really in a confusion that whether the given file is helix format file or something. Can anyone tell me that how to open *.dat file or how to identify the format from the file extension.
