Display Problem
I have only a partial description of the problem because the computer belongs to a friend who lives in another state. We were going to visit there for Super Bowl weekend, during which I was going to troubleshoot, but instead we're hunkering down at home during a blizzard. My friend has an early 17" (2GHz?) i... 12 Feb 2010 21:20

Display compatibility
I have a third party display,(V7 branded I think), running at 1440 x 900 on my Intel Mac Mini. The quality is only fair. I'm checking out an HP 2009m 20 which has a stated resolution of 1600 x 900. Will this work well with Macs? We're talking 1.7:1 for the new display opposed to 1.6:1 for the old. ... 5 Feb 2010 17:19

I was performing an "Erase Free Space" ("Zero Out Deleted Files" option) on an external drive last night. Apparently, it ran into the scheduled time my system is set to Sleep. However, this morning, my attempt to "wake" the system (via mouse or keystrokes) didn't work. Puzzled, I force-rebooted via the power button... 5 Feb 2010 11:40

Using the shell, is my Mac 32-bit or 64-bit?
I looked in System Profiler but there was no obvious way to determine this. Someone suggested 'uname -a' -- I tried it -- it didn't reveal anything on a 2006 Xserve or a 2008 iMac. Of course, I suppose I could find this and still be uncertain due to the distinction of being "fully" 64-bit. So where is it and how... 4 Feb 2010 17:58

Suddenly slowed down Internet
I have two Macbook Pros in the house, one (my wife's) of which is nearly 4 years old, has OS 10.5.8 and is nicely and normally loading web pages from my wireless router. It sits about 25 feet through a wall or two from the router. My fairly new MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.1) is about 18 inches from the router and has, for... 2 Feb 2010 22:00

Eg printing from Preview (Mac OS X 10.6.2 with all the latest updates) it hangs inside the Previe... 2 Feb 2010 15:44
