Are there any Firewire splitters available?
|
| |
I've got an external Firewire 800 drive I use for Time Machine backups, but it's also partitioned into 2 other volumes I want to share with another computer that's also Firewire capable. I want to split the Firewire cable to connect to both computers simultaneously.

System Thinks HD is Full -- Fixed
|
| |
Thanks to all who replied. I "fixed" it by restoring from a SuperDuper backup. I have no idea what caused the event, and I have no idea where the excess files were hidden. sudo du -sh ~/* didn't show anything unusual (I compared the directory sizes on the affected drive with the those on the unaffected external drive). I'm beginning to suspect that a corrupt... more »

|

MB Pro 17, 10.6.1, 4 GB RAM... I installed a 500 GB drive in this machine some months ago. It has performed flawlessly. It has (or had until last night) about 206 GB of free space.

I tried searching for this... more »

|
| |
What is Locum? Since upgrading my MacBook to SL, whenever I try to empty the Trash I find a minimum of 6 items in it, even if exposing the contents shows only 2 items. Actually emptying the Trash can take anything up to 40 minutes, during which time Activity Monitor shows continuous data write activity of 5-30 Mb/sec and a CPU usage of over 120% (on a dual core... more »

Mac tablet

[link] Anyone here actually have one? I'm wondering: 1. Imagine a non-technical person with only one arm. NO experience with any kind of touch screen. Long time occasional user of Panther but only for web browsing and e-mail. Would she find using the pen awkward? 2. Probably would not use Windows, but if we do,... more »

Pushing MacSpeech to its limits, frustrating
|
| |
Just for fun, I wanted to push the low-cost version of MacSpeech to its limits, to see what it is capable of doing. Below my signature line is the resulting (corrected) text from my verbal dictation, using a standard low-priced version of MacSpeech Dictate 1.5.5 ($200) Used standard mic and USB adapter that came... more »
