Don't mess with it - take it back! Will you ever trust this one again??

[dudeking]

You can't its software they did it, company's don't have to offer software support but apple choose to offer a months worth.

They won't take it back for a software issue, but I bet if you take it to an apple store explain your situation they will reinstall the OS for you. They will want to keep you on the apple side of things

[Albert Lionheart]

I know about warranty on software - sheesh! I don't give any!
But this thing stopped for no apparent reason in the middle of an app and attempts to restore the OS are no good. Conclusion possibly that this is a hardware issue but Apple should be the ones to sort that out for you, not yourself!

[dudeking]

From what I herd the OS was working fine then they put in the OS disk for no apparent reason and that killed things.

BM if you can get iChat to work as AIM add dudeking6 and I will see what I can do with remote desktop.

But if what Albert says is true and it did just stop working, yes take it back see what they say? Where did you purchase it from? An official apple store?

well fingers crossed it seems to be working at the minute or should that be moment

ITunes is one reason I would steer clear of MACs. I hate ITunes.


Sorry Dude

From what i can gather my son thought they were update discs
Hes as computer savvy as a gnat

So he did something with the discs I'm not sure what and no application would open

We followed Dudekings advice and reinstalled and it seems to be working
Well i cant hear the dinging coming from upstairs

Why you hate itunes man? TBH I used to I got into it but tbh half of it is total random out side of OSX, you do something on it and are like why do it like that, but its designed for mac not windows but still its an awesome media player. But each to his own.


Glad to hear its working, I recomend setting up time machine which backs up, every hour and keeps so you can go back every hour for a day then every day for a month then every month untill space runs out then it starts to delete old backups. But it only backs up changes so it wont use much more than the total HDD size (well what you've used).

Also set up iChat it has built in desktop sharing which is awesome for problem solving.

jolly good, now lock those disks away lol. When you turn a mac on it makes the same noise as Wall-e, how awesome is that. I'm superised apple haven't picked up on it and sued someone lol

I dont like the touch pad
Im a mouse person

[dudeking]

I don't like the one button mouse thing apple have going on. cmd click for right click menu is evil... but a mac with a good old two buttoned mouse is much better

Touch pads are cool, I prefer them too a mouse when browsing the web, but for everything else a mouse is essential.

Mac calling
oh this is weird

trying to set it up Time machine
