Just kinda notice there's a red light visible through the front mesh, on opening the side door, the light seems to be coming from one of the four LED's on the lower memory riser. On closer inspection, the label says DIMM 2.
I've tried swapping, moved some ram about.. and the light still appears (on the same riser). Does this mean that riser has developed a fault?
Does anybody notice that it brightens then dims?

I have a Mac Mini from 2009. And it stands in my bedroom and is almost always on. So the led light is a bit annoying in front of the Mac Mini. Is there a way to turn this off when it's on?

I have a problem with my screen - when there is something black on, I can see a faint mark of a lighter colour. I have tried to take a picture, please excuse the poor quality. There is nothing visible when the screen is off, even under close examination. Is it less visible when lighter things are on the screen, and invisible when the screen is white.
No drops or liquid spills. Will this go away on it's own? Any fixes?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to Lion and sadly, Front Row is not supported. I somehow found the Front Row app in my systems folder and moved it to my Applications folder. Front Row now shows up in my applications folder, as well as Launchpad. However, when I go into Front Row, it does not recognize any of my media from iTunes. I tried out this website: [URL]..blog/frontrowenablerforlion to no avail. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how to make Front Row work in OS X Lion.

Any news of Front Row in Lion? Apple is selling the mac mini without any new interface? Apple really needs to offer us something over front row which I don't think has been updated since 2007. So Apple how about it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my PowerMac Dual G5 2 GHz from OS 10.4.11 to 10.5.8. Now the Mac can't see my SCSI scanner (Epson Exprerssion 836XL). It doesn't show up under the system profiler.
Before upgrading, I cloned my 10.4.11 installation. When I boot from the clone, I can use the scanner with no problems. So the hardware is working and connected properly.
What is there about the Leopard system I can do to help it recognize the scanner?
The problem has survived system restarts, including restarts after complete shutdown.
this is actually on a friends laptop that I was updating with OS 10.5
Laptop is a MacBook 2ghz duo core, previously had 10.4 installed
There was problem with his drive, it was not partitioned properly. The HD was not showing up in the finder (on desktop or in devices list). I made a partition with a new name and archived his drive.
Upon installing 10.5 I can't login at all.. it only shows 'other' in the users list. Can't login as admin. Can't do anything.
Disk utility (when booted from system disk) shows the drive is fine.
I recently discovered that files saved onto desktop would not be visible. Whenever I save a photoshop document, recieve an adium file transfer, or take a screenshot with command shift 3, etc., it does not show on the desktop. However, if I drag and drop files from other folders onto the desktop or drag a picture in firefox onto the desktop, it shows.
I've tried these but the files wouldn't show:
-Sorting files by filename in the view options.
-Opening the desktop folder in finder.
-Renaming the files in terminal.
When I do these, the files would show:
-Restart the computer.
-If I list the desktop directory in terminal with the ls command, the files are visible.
-Move the file in terminal to another directory, the file is visible with finder.
-Dragging the above file onto desktop, the file shows.
I recently installed WinXP with bootcamp, wonder if that caused the problem.
I have a seven year old iBook G3 with (?) problems: it starts one out of hundred times, otherwise it displays the "unable to find the finder" sign (finder folder alternated with a ?), and yesterday it even showed me the forbidden ("broken folder") sign!!
So I decided to change HD and got a TOSHIBA MK1234GAX sold to me as compatible with my iBook G3:
First time I installed this new HD, I wasn't able to install MacOS X (earliest version) on it, since the HD wasn't visible to installer, so I installed the old original IBM 15GB HD back again: it started working without any explanation or excuse (maybe it just didn't want to give the job up...)
Then it started again working on a 1% rate, so I took out my screwdrivers and that was enough to get it working once more!
Until last time I turned the laptop off: the finder is nowhere to be found! I've tried almost everything, not even showing out screwdrivers worked; maybe it's easter pause or there might be some HD-Union sabottage strategy going on, or something...
So I'm trying my brand new 120GB MK 1234GAX TOSHIBA, but it's still invisible.
The title pretty much sums it up, both computers are in the same workgroup (HOME) and I can see both computers in each network overview (when you click network in my computer on both the mac and pc).

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm really hoping that someone will be able to help me with the following issue:
I bought my Mac OS X and a Lacie 500 gb mini hub hard drive back in 2007 and have had no problems with either until today.
I was attempting to move a quicktime movie (160 MB) from my mac desktop to the Lacie hard drive (which still has about 250 gb of free memory available). The process seemed to be hanging, so I rebooted the mac, and haven't been able to see the Lacie HD since.
The cables and the mini hub seem to be working (light on hub flashes), but it refuses to appear on the desktop.
I've since un-plugged and rebooted everything several times, but with no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to recover the HD, please? I'd be seriously angry if I had to lose all the data I have on there, which includes pictures of my late father.
The 12-month warranty has long gone, and the Lacie.com site doesn't even recognise the serial number of my model when I went there for help!
What can I do?
My url address bar is no longer visible - how do I get it back?
