Hardware :: Identifying Version Of Keyboard (key Labels Differ)

Aug 10, 2010

I just recently bought an "apple aluminum keyboard" off of craigslist as a secondary one for work. I didn't notice it at the time of purchase, but the keys are different,such as a smaller return key and the key labels are not the same as my main keyboard which I bought at Best Buy. What this keyboard is? A euro edition? or knockoff?

IMac :: How Come A Recovery Disc Version Could Differ From Actually Installed

Dec 10, 2009

I phoned up AppleCare and they are kind enough to mail me back two recovery discs free of charge (they are white instead of grey, and printed as replacement discs)

Today I tried to boot from the disc to see if it works, after I chose the language, there's a msg saying "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer" and the two options that I have is to restore from Time Machine or restart.

So I checked the version of the disc in OSX, I discover that it's actually 10.6.1, instead of 10.6.2 which ships with Core i5/i7 iMacs.

Then I phone up AppleCare yet again to see if they have send me the correct disc. The guy asked of my serial number and after a while of checking, he said they have sent me the right disc. They say the discs that come along with the core i5/i7 are actually 10.6.1 as he sees from his system.

If I want to do a clean install of OSX I have to delete and format the volume first, he said.

I am not convinced, how come a recovery disc version could differ from the one that's actually installed?

OS X :: Keyboard Stopped Working / Restore Back To Earlier Version Of Keyboard Firmware?

Feb 28, 2008

Yesterday I had a Leopard software update which included new keyboard firmware. I did the update and the keyboard continued to function normally. This AM I booted my MacBook Pro and discovered the keyboard no longer responds to inputs. However, the MB does responds to an external USB keyboard.

Now I don't know if I have a sudden hardware problem or the MB keyboard is not working as a result of the firmware update. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Can I go back to the earlier revision of the keyboard firmware?

Hmmm - while writing this I just realized I have a bootable image of my system made a few week back on an external drive - I'll have to try it.

IMac (Intel) :: Hard Drive Usage Reports Differ

Jun 24, 2014

My 2011 21.5" iMac has a 1TB hard drive. In the Finder, it reports 238GB used, 744GB available. But, in Disk Utility and in DiskWave analyzer, it shows 460GB used. "About this Mac" reports 460GB used with 206GB of "backup" that is not there (not invisible files, not showing up in detail reports). When DiskWave reports 460GB used, the detailed list of files & apps only adds up to 238GB - a mystery in that it cannot show the extra "used" space, but only reports free space as 539GB thus not accounting for the remainder. How can I reconcile these differences?

OS X :: Identifying Open Applications?

Feb 20, 2010

I am accustomed to using OS 9 where I could easily identify open applications by clicking on the far right menu heading. I could then click an icon to open the application in order to either use it or to quit those I would rather not have open and using RAM. Can someone tell me how to identify open applications in OS 10.4 and above? I have tried everything and half suspect it cannot be done as easily as in OS 9.

I am getting tired of popping in DVDs in my drives (of six Macs in my house) only to find out that I have the wrong region. Is there a quick way (other than a 3x5 card and a pencil) to see the current region? I don't think I can check in system prefs.

Hardware :: Finding Wireless Version Of Apple Keyboard W/Numeric Keypad?

Nov 3, 2009

Can someone explain to me why Apple has refused to make a wireless version of their full size keyboard with the numeric keypad? Their wired version is great, but I can't stand wires. When my full size white Apple keyboard went to the sandbox in the sky last year, I dropped $120 for a brand new one I found online (high price to the fact Apple didn't make them anymore then), and now that one has just taken a dump -- I spilt literally three drops of water on it and the space bar stopped working completely.

Now I'm stuck with Apple's micro wireless keyboard until they come out with the full size wireless one - if ever.

Software :: Identifying Macintosh Font Used While Logo Created?

Jun 7, 2009

Before my Mac was stolen (yeah, bummer), I created a super logo for my website, [URL]. I used PowerPoint. I now want to recreate this logo, using the same font -- but in Windows. I know it must be out there somewhere to download. Could you Macintosh users please go to my site, look at the logo, and try to identify what font I used? The site once again is [URL]. The logo is in red and blue, with a text call-out bubble above it.

I'm trying to get an accurate identification of the iBook white G/3 700 MHz with 12in display we just acquired. There seems to be a couple of very similar models. The Apple Support article is unclear [URL]as to which one we have. One model is an early 2002 release (M8602LL/A), the other a late 2002 release (M8860LL/A).

ITunes :: Identifying Mono Tracks - Sorting Out Music Automatically

Apr 21, 2012

I found a spotlight search attribute of channel count which is whether a music track is stereo or mono. Is it possible to use this info in iTunes to add a column to automatically sort the music? Is there a hidden terminal command to add this option to the iTunes view options? I understand the difference between mono and stereo having worked with sound for many years.

OS X :: How To Use All The Labels On An A4 Sheet

Feb 15, 2009

I have encountered a problem when printing labels. On my PC it is possible to use all the labels on an A4 sheet, because you can select which labels are still available from a part used sheet. On the iMac it always wants to start from the top of the page even when there are no labels there. I find it very wasteful to throw away part used sheets of labels. Maybe I am missing some vital information, because I don't believe a mac can't do what a PC does, in all other aspects a Mac wins hands down. I would appreciate any solutions to this problem as I have only had the iMac eight months and still learning, and I would prefer not to have to use my PC if avoidable

Applications :: BootCamp - Full Version Or Upgrade Version Of Windows 7?

Jun 17, 2010

In order to install Windows 7 via bootcamp, do you have to use the full version of windows or can you use the upgrade disc to install? I figured I should ask before buying another license as I have an upgrade version of Windows 7 Pro that I don't use. I do own previous versions of Windows (all of them....just like I do Mac OS).

OS X :: Window Titles/Labels In OS X?

Sep 29, 2010

One thing I miss from Windows is the ability to glance at the task bar on the bottom and read truncated title descriptors on the task bar buttons of each open window. It's a way of knowing and locating what (and where) each window is by just looking, without having to do anything -- like mouse over an icon, or clicking, or using Expose.

Is there anything I can do to make all open windows have titles or descriptors -- whether it's a file name, or Safari window name, etc. -- in Mac OS? Is there any third party utility app?

I find Snow Leopard to be more application centric, rather than window centric.

Applications :: How To Print Labels In Pages 08

Feb 19, 2009

I have labels sheets (Avery) that I want to print on.

In Word, i just choose File, New, Labels, and am given a choice of label types. I fill in the tabs and job done.

Does anyone know how to do this in Pages? I know how to create a table, but, isn't there an easier way to do this?

Plus, can I edit the current business cards template so that I can use it to create the labels?

Currently, I am using Pages for all my word processing stuff, with the exception of printing labels and envelopes.
