I just installed Windows XP Pro through Parallels. What a great program by the way. Here is my problem. When in Windows the Superdrive won't open. I have to log out of Windows to open it. Then I can insert a Windows CD and reopen windows and have access to it. Does anyone know how to open the drive through Windows

Just formatted my HD and now, for the first time ever, I have finder windows living their own life.
When opening the applications window by the short command cmd+shift+a the window appears like on the left but opening any other folder in the same way (via short commands) the window appears normal.
Is there anything that i can do to fix it back to the standard layout?
I have a Macbook pro and was running windows through bootcamp. When opening windows the display is upside down and is staying that way. Have tried to reboot with no luck.

I am wondering why some new windows that I open on my MacBook Pro only open BEHIND other active windows. For example, I will click on a link in Apple Mail and the new Safari window opens behind other ones that were already open, so I have to move the already opened-windows to get to the new window that opened when I clicked on the e-mail link.

Microsoft say it's bootcamp, Apple say it's microsoft. Provider of disk say million chance in one disk at fault. Microsoft say if i can get in via safemode (which I can) then not microsoft problem. Stuck between them both and very upset. Apple laptop 17", bells and whistles, a month old - and had been saving for the best but haven't got it. Have reinstalled Mac OS, have removed and reinstalled bootcamp, windows XP AND AutoCAD.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi was wondering if you can open 2 different previews to view the same pdf. i have alot of pdf books and i want to be able to have the question and the section from the book open instead of scrolling all day back and forth. i have tried using safari to open the 2nd window but using safari temps me too much to just search the web instead of do my homework.
View 3 Replies View RelatedEvery time I go to click a link, or open a new Safari window, nothing seems to happen. No window, links don't seem to work, though they change color as if activated. Did some searching, found that the windows are opening just fine, but opening on a duplicate screen somewhere where I can't see them. Figured a simple restart would fix this, and it did--for about 3 windows. Now it's right back to the same thing. What's the fix? All software/updates are installed/current.

I had some friends over for dinner tonight and I was showing them my macbook. So one of them played a prank on me and opened about 400+ windows by creating about 400 folders and then selecting them all and opening them. So to make a long story short, I closed them all and now I am wondering if this could have hurt my hd by doing this.
P.S The fan really got going when he did it

I was thinking, for the next generation MacBook Air, would you want a slightly thicker (thickest part is 0.9in, tinnest is ~0.35in) laptop with a built in Superdrive, more ports, etc, or would you perfer that Apple moves away from this with a thinner computer (0.1in thinnest, 0.6in thickest), but with same limited ports.
I would actually perfer thicker with a superdrive, since I want an air but I want it to be like a MacBook but thinner. What do you think? Btw, this is assuming the regular MacBook does not change in size, since that would sway peoples opinions.
I have a folder with maybe 20 or 30 songs by mobb deep. I want them to be part of an album called "mobb deep", but the majority of these songs are from different albums and mixtapes, and most doesn't even have the album title on them. So on Windows I would simply mark all the files in the folder and right click, hit properties and then I'd be able to type in an album name. First of all when I mark 20 files on Mac and right click it'll open 20 windows instead of one window for all of the files (one of the dumbest things on OSX, I love everything else but this is mad stupid) - second of all I don't even think it's possible to type in the album name when right clicking an mp3 file. So how can I change the album title on all of these files without doing it in iTunes? Reason I aint doing it in iTunes is that it'll be a pain to locate each song in there since they'll be labeled all wrong.

I take care to close all the windows, hoping that they won't launch again next time I start the application, yet they do. I can't find a setting in the preferences or Settings to disable this behavior.

I want to add a second SuperDrive to my Mac Pro and am trying to decide if I should git the Pioneer DVR-115D or go with a different drive. Or maybe go with a SATA drive and utilize one of the two additional SATA ports that are unused. Any ideas?
