I have two printers hooked up. An Epson Stylus Photo Pro 3800 and HP 5440 Deskjet. I want to determine what the version # is for my active drivers, but can't figure out how to. Also, where can I find the drivers in my hard drive and what would be the format of their file names?Â
OS X ver 10.6.8

Is there a program that will catalog the two and show me the differences? I seem to remember such a program in the old classic days.

I will mainly be using it for travel/mobility use, as when my MBP is on the desk, I use my ageing - but loved - Logitech MX1000.
I am not a gamer. But I think that the ability to do 360 scrolling e.g. in Lightroom could be great.
I will mainly be working in Snow Leopard, but sometimes I might need boot camp for .NET development etc.
Does current boot camp drives support borth left and right click as it was a normal mouse on the magic mouse?
Is scrolling working?How is battery life?
Is there any way of invoking Expos� or DashBoard on the Magic Mouse?
Price difference between the 2 mice is not important.

How come I can run 64-bit Windows 7 on my first gen Mac Pro, but I can't run Snow Leopard as completely 64-bit (with the 64-bit kernel). What am I missing here? Is it truly a hardware limitation or is it just a software block that Apple has put on these machines?
I always thought that you couldn't run Snow Leopard 64-bit Kernel because of the EFI32. After installing Windows 7 successfully, it makes me wonder if the inability of running full 64-bit Snow Leopard is just an artificial limitation.
What's the deal? I could be completely wrong about all of this. I'm still confused about the EFI32 thing. Can someone shed some light on this?
Will snow Leopard be functional on the current iMacs?I just recently bought a 24" 2.8Ghz iMac, and want to make sure that I will be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard when it comes out.

I tried to find a way to do this a number of months ago and my recollection was that I ended up with a script that added the current date to a folder as a one time operation. I am looking for something that can keep this constantly updated with the /current/ date. This way I can keep this file (with the current date) in my backups and know almost immediately which external volume has the most recent data.Â

This relates to: [URL]. We are trying to determine the compatibility of the air keyboard to the macbook unibody. Can someone with an air tell what these basic measurements are:
* from side to side
* from top to bottom
* the exact size of the Esc, F1-F12 and eject keys (one would be enough)
If you would like to go further you can measure others as well, but if those 3 match than the rest probably do as well considering that it has already been confirmed that the keys from an old non-unibody macbook can be swapped to the air or mb unibody.
I use an eMac, 1.25 Gz, PC 4, version 10.4.11 with 768 MG. If I do a simple upgrade--not an entire installation--of Leopard, will this affect my current programs and files? Upgrading with a whole installation of Leopard seems to involve some complicated operations that I'd like to avoid.
View 3 Replies View Related... long time reader, first time poster!! So I'm doing it. I'm switching from PC to Mac. I've been waiting for a while now and the new MacBook Pro's have convinced me. I'm buying the 13 inch this week.
However I'm slightly worried about the upgrade to Snow Leopard in September.
My question is if I buy a new MacBook Pro this week and upgrade from the current version of Leopard to Snow Leopard will it be the EXACT same as the version of Snow Leopard that ships with new MacBooks after September?
Is the upgrade just the same as the full software version available post September? Does the upgrade it just detect if you have the previous software and installs as if it were the full? Or does it just "patch" things depending on what's different from previous versions?
I can wait till after Snow Leopard is released in September 09 if it is different to Leopard upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Can I restore the current iPhoto using my Time Machine back-up? If so (I hope & pray), how would I do that?

I see a lot of people suggesting that perhaps because the poster had less than 10gb (which is my case as well-- I have around 8), that this is why this message is happening. Well, my response to that is:
1)I have had around 8gb free for months, and these messages only started appearing in the last week. Each time I go "???" and look at my finder to see 8.4gb free or whatever, and I am like "WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME I AM OUT OF SPACE?
2)in the terminal, I was trying to download a few 20-30mb files, and wget quit out on me saying "insufficient storage space left on device".and doing "df -h" shows me that I have almost 10% free.. and again this is a 20-30mb, so this is total nonsense.
Are there any suggestions as to what might be causing this and a course of action, other than being told: "copy your files to an external hard drive and delete them on your startup disk".
Having looked at several sites including Apple I am still confused clicking on "about this MAC" on my MAC PRO 1.1 running 10.5.8 I get the following:

Nowhere do I find this item on either the OK or Not-OK list for full compatibility - I see references to "Core Duo" and similar but none to "Dual-Core". It seems that Snow Leopard will run but not take full advantage of capabilities. Also it seems that I have the old PCI bus ( it just says PCI no PCI 1 or PCI 2)and old graphics processor (NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT:) Does anyone know where to get the graphics upgrade kit? B&H which has been suggested elsewhere has none
shame on Apple for discontinuing this item.

Anyone noticed when making Combined pdf files (into single document) that Acrobat Pro only shows the first page, and not the full document. Meaning that one has to manually pull the sidebar down to scroll other pages? My install went perfectly, aside from a few minor glitches, Illustrator and Photoshop (CS4) quit now and again, but removed permissions, restarted and repaired permissions and is a lot more manageable now.
Safari and Mail are almost twice as fast now. Let's see how soon 10.6.1 appears.
I waited a long time to upgrade my MacBook to Snow Leopard, mostly because I didn't really need any of the speed increases or other updates, and because I remained concerned about having new bugs in my system. I was always happy with Leopard and never had any issues. I finally did upgrade to SL, and iCal is giving me hell. Its tough to explain the problems that its causing. Basically, the boxes get out of alignment (see attached screenshot), then stuff disappears, sometimes will come back if I click forward a month and then back. If I do this more than one or two times, it just straight up crashes. It is incredibly frustrating. Has anyone else run into similar iCal issues? I feel like a calendar program is one of the more straightforward things Apple has to work on, so I am really surprised that out of everything, this is the biggest upgrade problem I have run into.

Have you tried the arch=x86_64 modification to the com.apple.boot.plist ?
When I use arch=x86_64, I get 100% true 64 bits on my Macbook Pro and my iMac, but my 2009 Mac Mini is stuck in 32 bits.
I recently suffered the 'pleasure' of a HD failure in my 2008 24".An apple engineer replaced the drive and reinstated my data from time machine - all good so far. However, my mac doesnt want to relink with my existing backups and continue the save/delete old entries like before.I can still access my old backups, but It seems to want to create a new time machine on the very little space i have left on the drive for new backups.Is there a way of relinking to the previous backup or is it a case of wipe/restart, which i'd like to avoid.

My mac HD failed, I had a new one installed. I tried to restore from external TM backup, but it didn't seem to work. I tried two times - the second time, it failed and indicated that I didn't have space on my new drive. My original drive was 320g, new drive is 500g. I had about 80g of data on the new drive. Finder now shows that the new drive has only 25g available (old backup was about 280g). My attempt to restore to my last backup (3/27/2012) didn't seem to work, my old files are not on my new machine.  Â
I'm thinking my best bet is just to undo whatever has been done to my new drive. I don't have a problem formatting the new drive, as there is nothing really on it that must be saved at this point. I am not well versed in Macs (obviously), but I have enough tech sense to follow steps if somebody could offer them. How can I undo this? Should I just format the new HD and do a Snow Leopard install from scratch, and then try again to restore from my time machine backup?Â

I have a site that I made with iWeb on my iMac. Now I have a second Mac, a Mini, and I am trying to use it to work on my site but I can't figure out how to access the current site with iWeb. All it seems to want to do is create new sites. My site is saved to the "Sites" folder on my hard drive, and uploaded to my MobileMe space. Yet there doesn't seem to be any way to open the site, from either location, with iWeb on the Mini.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an old G4 tower and no monitor for it. I wanted to go through old files and I used to just login remotely (screen sharing, SSH or AFP) and do what I need. I don't know why, but now no services seem to be running. I know for certain that the computer is connected to the LAN network. Basically, I'm trying to find out what services may be running. I'm not trying to get past any security, just access my files. If it's stuck at the login window, will no sharing services start? I guess not, since no user is logged in.

So this problem started yesterday where whenever I try to play a video (youtube,or any other site) neither the sound nor image works, but whenever i make the video fullscreen, everything works perfectly. It's a bit annoying if I want to watch a video or listen to music off youtube whilst doing other things.
