Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Good news. And good to know for future hard drive borks.

Anyone know how to make a magic track-pad select browser drop-down list forms?

At the moment I have to use the keyboard after selecting them with my trackpad and its annoying.

If you use a trackpad you will probably know what im talking about.
If you don't you'll have no clue.

I'm in the second camp, I have no clue.

It did fucking work!
CCC just did it, ignoring all 'permissions' and screwed bits or whatever, simply cloned it.
The drive(s) as a whole though, did take some time (bit over 1GB/min).

Now data is avaiable on a fresh partition of a new external drive.

I am happy.

You could've just used the bless command from terminal on your g5 drives. Simples.

Can anybody recommend a good-quality replacement battery for an iPod 40GB 3rd-Generation (2003-ish). I don't use eBay, so preferably Amazon or summat.
iPod looks like this.

i got one from maplins before.

Don't have Maplins here, I'm in the US. I might try Radio Shack, but was wondering if there was a specific aftermarket brand I should be looking for.

iPod off ebay

Change the hdd while you're at it

I have no idea what you're talking about, but thanks.

Sounds charming, whatever it does.

I have done this... But only to listen to new booty after diggin thru crates of 45s...

so, the top about 1 1/2 inch of the display on my old macbook pro has been crushed.
I can't afford new or repair and the rest is still working so for the time beeing I think I'll cover the bad part with a bit of tape.
is there a way to move the menu bar so it'll be visible? or change the resolution/screen size or something so only the working part will be used?

You could attach a second monitor if you have one handy, then you can set which one the menu bar appears on via System Prefs. Other than that, I don't think it's possible.

great, closer to windows phone

I've rigged my old Mac Pro up to wifi using a Realtek wifi dongle (no airport card so I used what I had)

It's connecting fine (browsing, email) but Dropbox and spotify can't find the connection.

Any ideas? It feels like a port is blocked but I've no idea how to progress..

Thanks for any suggestions

EDIT - Think i've sorted it (firewall on the router)

Do hope there'll be a 'dark' theme for the black phones,
this on the site right now will only look great with the white ones I presume..
