Kingston SSDNow V+100 SVP100S2B/96GR 2.5" 96GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?SID=u1181863t2861741f9fp0dd0c0s701&AID=10440897&PID=1225267&Item=N82E16820139412&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na)
Finally ready to jump in on an SSD, and this particular model is $120 at newegg AR. I did some research, and it got high marks for low power consumption, but scored behind in other areas. It doesn't have any reviews on newegg, but they seem positive. Maintaining battery life is important to me, so that part seems good.
Does anyone have this particular drive, and if so, how has it worked out for you? Would you recommend it? Seems like a good deal getting 96GB for $120. FYI this will be my boot drive as part of an OptiBay setup.
Thanks!

I have the amp connected to the headphone jack. Works fine for me and the cable didn't cost $33. :-)
You didn't connect it via a toslink with optical cable from headphone jack? Sounds like you're just double amping which is inefficient.

iTunes #1 but it adds up! Great place to find exclusives and live recording sessions. For sampling whole songs, I'll use Limewire.

No, all of the shortcuts didn't work. Copy, paste, etc. It was very frustrating, but I haven't seen the problem since the most recent beta update of 1password. Thats my best guess about the problem.

Hi,
My iMac G5 20" Rev. B ir experiencing so called "pixel-dancing". In essence, that is when bunch of pixels flash and dissapear randomly mostly on black or dark colors.
It seems to be not so common problem, at least google didn't find anything what can help me.
Anyhow, the "pixel-dancing" starts usually when iMac been runing for half an hour or so, but then again, it's not regular - sometimes it happens, sometimes it's not, though it seems to happen more often when wathing movies for some period of time (at this point iMac is running about 70 C in fullscreen mode) or working in Photoshop. As I mentioned before, it only happens with solid black, or dark colors.
It's really annoying. I contacted our Apple reseller, they suggested to do full time Apple Hardware test - did that, all items passed sucessfully. Anyway, reseller contacted Apple and now is waiting for an answer, so in the meantime, maybe you guys could help? Any solutions, causes or fixes?
I made a small video clip showing the problem, here (http://www.ksp.lv/tmp/imacg520inch_blinking_pixels_02.mov). It's about 30 MB. Sorry about the quality, but the "pixel-dance" is clearly visible. In the video that is Photoshop, with an picture of skating ramp.
Thanks a lot.

I'm thinking about standing in line after seeing the shipping options online. When I called yesterday, I was told that you could expedite shipping - not true. Going for the white wi-fi + 3G 64GB on Verizon if no contract.

It seems a C2D 1.86GHz mobile CPU will do: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-Mac-mini-Model-A1176-Core-2-Duo-Processor/1178/1
As to RAM: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini/
www.everymac.com is also a good spec resource.

currently living in Hanoi [don't pay attention at the location thing, it was updated weeks ago]... I don't think there is a vietnamese sattelite tv... there are currently 5 "channels" that is country-wide... VTV1,2,3 are the most common... VTV4 is for Vietnamese living in foreign countries and VTV5 is for ethnic groups... Inside news is that they're making a VTV6 for something... :o [was it marketing, advertising or some kind of shopping channel, didn't pay attention; anyhow, it's getting made] you can get foreign sattelite... quite a lot of it... if there any other question, just ask... maybe I'll take a trip to the broadcasting place to see VTV6 get made...

Your computer is infected with some description of malware, which is giving you this message, probably to fool you into buying their useless software. Superantispyware is not an anti-virus program, so you need to cover all the angles. Download, install, update and scan with these programs:
Spyware Terminator: http://www.spywareterminator.com/
Avira AntiVir Classic: http://www.free-av.com/
AVG anti-spyware free: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/download-fre�
If they do not solve the problem, try restarting in safe mode (press f8 repeatedly while your computer starts up), and scan in that. Then reboot your computer into normal windows, and see if it is gone. If not, scan with http://www.bitdefender.com/PRODUCT-14-en�
and then online with http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Hi Guys,
I tried doing as much research before hand before having to post here, but I just couldn't figure it out. So my friends Mac's hard drive crashed and she didn't back up anything so she lost all her music. I told her that technically she could still pull her music off of her iPhone 4. I was able to do it once but it was with a Windows based computer and a different iPod maybe 3-4 years ago. I know iTunes has changed a lot then too.
So what I'm asking is how do you access the iPod's hidden files to reach the music folders? On my Mac, I can't seem to even find where the iPod is if I'm not in iTunes. I know you're suppose to enable the iPod as an external hard drive, but in the latest iTunes (iTunes 10) I don't even see the option for that.
My last question is if the iPod or iPhone is formatted to a Mac machine, is it still possible to be able to access the hidden files on a windows based computer? (Windows 7 or Vista)
I found some people talking about certain apps I could download that would do it, but those apps usually can't locate my iPod Touch. Thanks for the help!

Im running a mac mini late 2009 2.26 ghz 4gb ram, and my istat pro is reading 3.9 million page ins since i restarted this morning. I use my mac for web surfing, music, 1080p video/netflix, gaming (WoW).
Is this normal? Will this hinder performance?
Thanks!
It's normal and no, it won't hinder performance. Also, it's not a count of how many page in events occurred, but rather the amount of data moved. Page ins occur when your computer copies information (apps, documents, etc.) from the hard drive into RAM to work on it. It's the page outs and swap used that indicate whether you're maxing out RAM or not.

Personally i'd run 2 partitions on the 7200, one for other files and one for the scratch disk, just my thoughts :)

If it truly is an official carrier unlock, then you can't lose it for any reason.
I guess if someone went in to Apple's database and removed your IMEI then a restore would relock it, but Apple has no reason to do so unless something shady went on.

I don't think that there's a way to do it here at MacRumors, but if you've participated in the thread you can use Google to find it. Just go to Google and type in a word or two that you know were in the thread, your user name and "site:forums.macrumors.com" (without the quotes). You can then use "Search Tools" drop down in the sidebar of Google to narrow it down to a specific time frame if there's too many results initially.

IS THE WHOLE WORLD CRAZY!!!!!
(why would you ever want to do that in a million years)
Well, the Apple Keyboard I find very, very nice. And I think that the Apple mouse is one of the most comfortable out there (I think other companies try TOO hard to make their mice ergonomically-sound and fail in the process, while Apple's simple design is best). The problem is not having right click functionality, which is much more manageable on a Mac than on a PC.
Thus, I can understand your shock at someone wanting to us the Apple mouse, but am utterly confused as to it with respect to the Apple keyboard...Unless you're just floored that anyone would want to use a PC in the first place, which is a little bit more understandable. ;)

Hello,
You could run OS X 10.5 Server on Power PC hardware. Unfortunately Apple does not support 10.6+ on Power PC systems.
OS X 10.5 Server is very good and you should be fine running this version for basic file sharing, etc...
Documentation on OS X server is available on the Apple site:
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html
Most of the config for 10.6 is similar to 10.5 for basic settings.
Hopefully this is helpful.
