Mac Pro :: Blue And White Case Modding Possible?

Mar 13, 2008

In my ongoing project, my next goal is to see if I can't alter the blue plastic outer case (the stuff on the front, top, and back), the foggyish white panels on the side, and the apples in the middle of them. I already have everything separated and I have no intention of putting it back together until it looks different somehow. Maybe if I could change some of it from foggy to glossy or (ideally) clear (blue seethru would be very spiffy).

MacBook Pro :: 13" Graphics (blue Bar Flickers White And Blue Very Quickly And Almost Unnoticeable)?

Aug 7, 2009

After a few minutes of rebooting the machine i will use spotlight and it will be very flickery. Like when updating results, the blue bar flickers white and blue very quickly and almost unnoticeable. Also, related, when scrolling a list in the dock through a stack shown in list mode, it flickers a lot there as well. Is this normal behaviour for these machines/leopard in general? I'm used to using a crappy old iBook so i dont know if im just being pedantic.

MacBook :: Blue Stains / Marks On White Casing

Jun 24, 2010

I have blue stains or marks on my white Macbook casing. The problem seemed to lie in faulty plastic being used, amongst other reasons and excuses given. Some people had serious staining issues and received replacement casings. My Macbook is a 2010 release, either Week 1 or 13 (hard to see on back), serial number beginning W801.

OS X :: Restoring Power Macintosh G3 (Blue And White) - Hard Drive Recommendation?

May 12, 2010

I just bought an old G3 at a thrift store and figure it would be fun to try to restore it to working order. Unfortunately it's missing the hard drive. Upon researching the issue, it looks like the old "smurfs" used one of the following:

?6GB Ultra ATA hard disk
?12GB Ultra ATA hard disk
?9GB Ultra2 LVD SCSI hard disk with Ultra2 LVD SCSI PCI card

I need your help in recommending a suitable hard drive replacement. It looks like the "big drives" - those with over 128GB of storage space - need 48-bit addressing. Macs built before 2002 don't have built-in support for it. I assume I'm only going to see 128GB. So presumably, I'm looking for a drive with at least 128GB... but really any recommendation is welcome.

Windows On Mac :: Fatal Error When Installing Drives With Bootcamp CD / Blue Screen With White Letter

Jan 3, 2011

I keep getting the following error 3 quarters of the way:

STOP: C000021A "Fatal system error. The windows subsystem process terminated un expectedly w/ a status of OX C000005. System shut down. It's a blue screen with white letter.

I'm using Office XP Service Pack 2 with imac OSX Install DVD version 10.6.3.

The steps I'm taking are:

Log onto my mac and use pre installed bootcamp to partition the drive. I'm using 32GB of space. Then I use my xp Prof w/ service pack 2 cd to install xp. At this time everything is working fine except for the missing drives. Then I put the bootcamp cd that came with my imac into the iMac and run bootcamp. It looks like everything is working perfectly. The imac is finding wireless internet and all the drives look like they are working fine until out of no where a blue screen pops up and states what I wrote below. There is nothing else on the screen. I'm using a 27 inch imac that i bought about 5 weeks ago new.

Does anyone know if the PB 15.4 Aluminum case is exchangeable with the Macbook Pro 15.4 case?

OS X :: Unable To Know About Case-Sensitive To Case-Ignorant?

Jun 14, 2010

I am working on restoring a Time Machine backup from Leopard to a clean installation of Snow Leopard. The only problem I'm facing is that the Leopard backup is on a case-sensitive drive (and the Snow Leopard drive is set up, by default, as case-ignorant).

I have scoured the Web the last two days and have not found a definitive answer to my question: Is there a way to transfer the data from the Time Machine backup on the case-sensitive drive to the case-ignorant Snow Leopard drive?

Yesterday I ran across a tutorial explaining how this might be accomplished using SuperDuper! but a commenter explained that Disk Utility could be used and was much easier.

I tried the Disk Utility method but it didn't work, and I ran out of time to give the SuperDuper! option a try. Does anyone know if it, or even Carbon Copy Cloner, might solve my problem?

Hardware :: Taking Macbook Isight And Modding To USB?

Jan 10, 2009

I don't know if the title makes much sense, but what I'm wondering... is if I get a MBP isight camera like this:
[URL]

And mod it (somehow...) to connect to my comp via a regular USB cable....

Does anybody know how I would go about doing something like this? Not sure what connections are on the isight for mbp....

as I don't want to shell out $150+ on a real iSight camera, nor do I want to pay for a new mac with isight...
I would just go for a Logitech, but with mac they don't support autofocus (even though it claims too, all the reviews I've read say it doesn't work).

Software :: Modding The Desktop / Any Thing Comparable To Rainmeter Or Samurize On Windows?

Dec 8, 2008

Saw this article on Lifehacker today [URL]enigma-desktop and it got me to thinking about whether or not there was a way to do anything similar on Mac. I've been Googling and searching help forums but all I've found are desktop shots that basically feature different wallpapers and slight tweaks of icons and the dock.

Is there anything on the mac comparable to Rainmeter or Samurize on Windows?
