Hi all,I recently took a lend of a copy of Panther from the office to spruce up my old g3 imac. I no nothing really about macs in general have worked with PC's for 15 or so years. The problem being I turn of the imac hold down 'c' the imac reads the CD for a while them stops and continues to boot from the harddrive. I clicked on the cd and opened it and all I see is a file called mac osx10.3.sit I then opened this using stuffit and then i see another file named something similar to the original. I then opened this and get an error message the application that created this file can not be found. What should I do? I cant ask any one in the office about this problem as Panther was installed by an engineer who came out to update our 2 or so imacs.

OF course you do - need to repurchase. Do you really expect Apple to give away higher resolution content to those that already have the 320x versions?
If so, you need a reality check. Really.
You have posed a question and not provided an answer, merely a remark questioning my understanding of reality.
I provided a response to a member's question - do you need to repurchase? The answer is, for me at least, yes. I suggested, perhaps too forcefully, that I did not appreciate this requirement.
This is a very 'real' issue. If broadband uptake and speeds continue to rise, and consumer acceptance of digital media increases, than higher quality content will be more readily demanded and easier to supply. However, if quality enhancements are too quick, and a consumer must repurchase his or her entire collection (or favourite parts of) too regularly than disatisfaction is felt. It is felt in the frustration of having to spend more time and money re-downloading something that a consumer perceives he or she already owns.
How can Apple avoid this. One is communication of value. The problem with this approach is that it is very subjective - a consumer could heavily discount the quality enhancement when compared to the additional time and money spent. In other words, a consumer values his or her time and money more than the quality. Another is discounting; that is, offering discounts to those customers who already own the pre iTunes 7.0 versions. This is still subjective, but offers a consumer something tangible (dollars saved).

I have an Apple BT mouse and it really is great. The response time is very good and I've gotten use to the one button over two. Actually, I've gotten more use to keyboard commands that take place of the right click in many cases.
I looked at the Bluetake 500 that you have McGarry...looks pretty good...how much?

If he wants to trade, ask for the computer and $250. The new 13" is considerably faster in benchmarks, has a pretty comparable GPU, better battery, etc. I'd just buy what you want and keep it

Apple were going to make the Facetime protocol an open standard. Its up to others to pick it up. Personally, I'm surprised Apple haven't already made a Facetime app for windows.
This. Rumor has it, they're on with it. But I'm more surprised 3rd party devs haven't got there first.
But you already have it, it's called Skype :)
I concur.

AppleInsider Article: "The filing is credited to four Apple employees: Nick King, Duncan Kerr, Paul Herbst and Steven Hotelling."
Is this the type of thing Apple does? Thought they had more control over employee/press relations...
The whole article sounds a bit overloaded with info - is it April Fools?http://forums.macrumors.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

iFixit.com carries them and ships to the UK. It also is cheaper than eBay which is rare for proprietary Apple parts.
However, given the obscene prices of Motherboards. It would likely be cheaper to buy a working 2006 Macbook, swap out the hard drive and RAM if needed and sell your current unit as is for parts only on eBay with a good description of the problem and pictures.
Heck it would most likely be cheaper to do the above and upgrade to a Lion compatible Late 2006 Core 2 Duo Macbook. Perhaps even move up to a Santa Rosa or Penryn Macbook. You'd be shocked as to what a defective Macbook will fetch on eBay.

In any case, hardly surprising. I like Microsoft software, but they sure can suck out the excitement of doing just about anything.

I have been reading the last few posts about saving the 4.3.1 SHSH Blobs "before its too late" and I couldn't understand how it could ever be too late, after all, how can my iPad get updated with anything unless its connected to iTunes.
I looked at TinyUmbrella and it looks likes this only applies to 3G iPads.. Could someone confirm if this is the case? And if not, what I (as a non-3G iPad 2 owner) needs to do now..
Currently I am on 4.3 and am waiting for a working Jailbreak before I do anything else regarding firmware.

It applies to any iOS device.
You want to save your blobs in case you accidentally upgrade to an unjailbroken firmware and would like to revert to an older, jailbroken firmware. It's not 100% essential for everybody to do, but it's nice to have it as insurance.
If you want to save your 4.3.1 firmware, update to the latest TinyUmbrella (http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/) and do so soon. I'm not sure if Apple is still signing it.

well i use to charge through the wall but with the new ipods its little more difficult than that because i gotta go behind my computer and unplug the cable since the ipods use a new cable. it should take 3 hours to charge fully. if nots charging in that amount of time i would say go for the wall.

I bought the unlock this morning. I'll give you guys an update once mine is done. Other members got confirmation their unlock were done.
Definitely keep us updated. Actually, consider even making a thread about it.

Here are a couple more I tried to take to show the bezel finish. There is no coating involved just sand paper and electrical tape. Here is the thread about the process: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=332434&highlight=brushed+aluminum

I can only see this as a good thing for Apple. They don't make much, if any, money off of iTMS sales. They run the store at cost or near that to fuel the sale of iPods. If some other company (or companies) can offer either (a) similar content for a lower price, or under a different business model (rental type music, for example) that works on FairPlay devices, read: iPods, then it's a reason to go buy MORE iPods. This generates money for Apple without the expense of running iTMS. Alternatively, if (b) a company is offering content that Apple is NOT offering (indie music, other TV shows, etc) then it's incetive for someone who wouldn't otherwise want an iPod to buy one.
The only bad thing for Apple would be if they created a compatible player, so you could buy a low priced music device and then buy iTMS content, which is basically at cost, without paying the so-called "iPod Tax". It doesn't sound like that's what's happening, though.

A t-mobile exclusive iPhone makes me feel like a dark cloud has covered my heart and is raining on it.
Ok, so maybe it is not that serious, but really, please, iPhone, don't be carrier exclusive!
From earlier reports/rumours, it looks like Apple would be signing on with a single carrier for launch and then switching to anyone who wants it a period of 3-6 months after.

Well there is a video in the other Leopard screenshot thread that shows finder but it has a unified skin. But we are pretty sure its from Leopard cause it shows an integrated feature that is obviously new. It should still be on like page 5...
But yea, so these features are great, resolution independence is awesome as usual and these little minor things add up. MWSF is going to be awesome.

MS seems to have lost out on a nice little market due to dragging their feet so long with VPC. That being said, I think it's great that we no loger have to rely on MS to keep Windows (and other os's) running on Macs.
