Macbook Pro random hanging (Apple Software)

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:19:42 GMT

By it sadly hanging multiple times per day in the end. It at least allowed me to finally bring it into an Apple store and show it to them as before it happened once every two weeks.

Applemonkey: How did you end up determining it was a faulty logic board?

This sounds familiar to my problem which in the end turned out to be a faulty logic board.

However, just on the safe side remove the RAM to make sure it isn't that after all.

Personally I think you get what you pay for. We used to be on bluehost, and had problems (CPU overload) and weren't anywhere close to our bandwidth limit.

I suggest our webhosts ausdatahost www.ausdatahost.com

I use them for a couple of personal sites and am very happy

Someone told me about a software that allows you to repost ads to Craigslist, but it is PC based. Anyone know of a similar product that works for OSX? Thanks.

I ran Tony Scaminaci's MemtestOSX program and everything seems to be ok. I've had that extra module in for over a year. Should I pull it and see what happens?

Looks pretty good to me. I use MobileMe to host my website, but it isn't the best hosting around. I just use it because I got a MobileMe account for free.

Now is there a way to crop a raster image within Illustrator?

the only way would be a clipping mask. you could also just crop it before or after placing it.

Hi everyone,
I am sorry for possible offtopic, but I need your help in find new web hosting provider as soon as possible, because my current host (bluehost.com) is kicking me off, they say 'your account is using a lot server resources', but my website gets only about 200 visitors per day and my disk usage is 1500 MB (maybe they do not like that?)

Anyway, what would be your recommendations for getting reliable web hosting? Where are you hosting your websites? Are you happy with your providers?

I am now checking http://www.hosting24.com/ - offer looks very nice, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space?
I have contacted them about this question and they say something that "These days 500GB disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will run out of disk space we will simply add new 500GB disk drive with almost zero costs and you can continue uploading without any problems".

What do you think about it? Maybe things have changed in last 4 years? With my current provider I get only 2GB of disk space for $10 per month..
Any ideas and suggestions are much appreciated.

Where is my USB floppy drive in the /dev directory? (Accessories)

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 08:57:40 GMT

Thanks this is what I needed. I found out that the device is /dev/disk3

I also found out that by default the device was busy (the disk appears on the desktop). Removing the disk on the desktop also removes the device in the /dev directory.

With the following command, you can unmount the disk, but keep the device active:

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3

Thanks Macman, I had Illustrator set to 72dpi while working with the same file at 300dpi in Photoshop.

Nokia 6025 (Accessories)

So, my mother suckered me into getting a brand new phone, so new, that there's no documentation online about ...

So, I have a Nokia 6205. And I'd like to get my contacts send to it. So far I can connect to it via bluetooth. I can send pictures and what not over bluetooth as well. When I send a vcard(exported from AddressBook), I get the following error:

QUOTE

Add at least one number or e-mail address.

I opened the vcard in TextEdit and deleted all the extra info, so it looks something like this:

QUOTE

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Adams;Nicholas;;;
FN:Nicholas Adams
TEL;type=CELL:###.###.####
TEL;type=HOME;###.###.####
END:VCARD

and I send that, I still get the message that I need to add at least one number or email address. Any ideas what's going wrong ?

I tried sending a card in 2.1 format, as well as 3.0 format ...

[edit]I made a contact on the phone, and tried to send it back to the Air, however it keeps teling me »connection failed« ...[/edit]

[edit2]if a mod could change the title to Nokia 6205, that'd be appreciated just double checked and I mixed up the 2 and 0[/edit2]

I can't believe microsoft is trying to fix technology problems with marketing. ridiculous
that new one is awesome, it only mentions apple's gains and not Micro$ofts losses which are probably much more.

I strongly suspect that the additional RAM that you installed is bad.

The signs are typical: as the RAM fills up and the registers of the problematic module are used, your computer hangs. Prior to that your Mac is fine.

The easiest and surest way to test to see if this is the case is simply to remove the newer module and see if the problem goes away.

However, if you would like to try an easier test first, you can run Apple's Hardware Test program, which should be on your install disk. Unfortunately this software often gives a false negative.

Most RAM modules come with a lifetime warranty. So if yours is problematic, the company you purchased it from should be happy to replace it.
