Deleting the plist did not fix the problem bt deleting the INBOX.mbox did. Unfortunately it also took out all the emails I already had in the INBOX, so i'm glad I just left it on the desktop.
This has been a strange day and it all started when I subscribed to .Mac for the first time.
I wonder if that was just a coincidence.

How likely is it that Apple is holding back the groundbreaking new features or GUI changes?
I myself think there won't be any GUI changes from the developer version, but maybe some new features that make people go "wow".
As I am new to the Mac I would like to know what's the experience with previous Mac OS launches. Does Apple wait for the final version with the big changes?

I have this mouse and it is the absoltue best mouse I have ever owned or tried. Very smooth, use on a pad, off a pad, use it from 20 ft away on a hardwood floor (I have tried it!!)
It has a rechargeable battery that lasts forever, is EXTREMELY comfortable in your hand and has a multitude of controls at your fingertips. (scroll wheel up and down as well as left and right, a button that works like the command+tab button feature, etc. All are programable via a system preference. Best of all, it was recognized as soon as I plugged it in.
Can't say enough about it, well worth the $79.
Me Too! Me Too! I've got one and it's super. Was using a Kensington Track pad but just couldn't get it's 4 buttons working correctly. Went back to the Apple "hockey puck" and boy was it painfull. Finally a mouse with lft/rt buttons; scroll wheel; and more. Feels great in the hand, BTW I'm right handed so can't comment bout lefties. LED's for battery are a very nice touch. Holds a charge for a long time. This mouse is soooooo coool. The only way they could make it better would be if it were BT. I wish, my G5 has BT. Considered the Logitech MX 900 but it doesn't specifically say that it supports OSX. MX 1000 does support OSX. Great mouse. The only other mouse I'm so enthusiastic about is the BenQ M310. It's a laptop mouse and I got it for my wife's iBook. Boy, this is another "slick" mouse. Highly recommend if you've got a laptop that doesn't have BT. If you've got a laptop and it has BT you might want to look at the RadTech BT 500. Cheers

That's really my point.
The point could be more accurately said with something other than "this is Apple's Vista." If it was Apple's Vista, no one would be buying it.
When any naysayer decides to call virtually every product Apple produces since Vista "Apple's Vista," then the metaphor has jumped the shark.
But few Apple products in the last decade have had so many highly publicized issues as iPhone 4
We're also talking about iOS4 on the iPhone 3G here, not the iPhone 4.

I have a skin con the bottom of the macbook. They're going to have to take it off to replace the cd drive... Should I ask for them to reimburse me for the 25$ that skin was?
I think I should get that money or a replacement.. It's not my fault they have to replace the drive and take my protective skin off.

Hello there, (TL;DR at bottom)
I have a late 2008 model 13" Macbook, that I received as a present. I haven't upgraded it except by adding more RAM.
Currently it has: 4GB RAM, 2.1 GHz Dual Core Core 2, 120 GB HDD (the original one)
I am running Windows 7 off a bootcamp partition. I choose to run win7 because I don't like using OSX.
Recently, I've noticed slow downs in start up times, and on the few occasions I use OSX, I've had the rainbow beachball quite often. Therefore, I've decided to upgrade my HD.
I live in New Zealand, so the following prices in NZD, please think of the prices proportionally. (Say one HD is $100, and another is $200. Think of the first HD in USD, then just double that price for the price of the other HD in USD)
I can spend (at most) $350 NZD, but I want to base my decision of value, not of performance. These are my options:
- WD Scorpio Blue 500GB $102
- WD Scorpio Black 500GB $119
- Seagate Momentus XT 500GB $209
- OCZ Vertex 2 25nm 60GB $239
- Intel X25-M G2 80GB $288
- OCZ Vertex 2 34nm 90GB $339
I need help deciding on which HD. Most of the time I use the MB for web browsing. There is minimal storage required, as I mostly have word documents etc. Although, it would be nice to have extra storage, I most likely won't use it.
Another question I would like to ask regards to OS and using an SSD. I really like Windows 7 too much. Plus my PC runs Windows 7 and I like them to be compatible. However, If I get an SSD with low space, I'd probably have to use one OS only, and I could get used to OSX if I have to.
The problem is that OSX Leopard or SL does not support TRIM, so there's no way for me to clear out the junk in the SSD. Windows 7 supports this, but I'll have to install it using boot camp, and that would take up a considerable chunk of the SSD. I wonder if it is possible to install windows 7 on my MB without having to use Bootcamp? Is there a way to get the drivers required for the hardware on my MB, without bootcamp?
Also, I seem to have lost my installation disc for OSX that came with my MB. Is there a way for me to download a copy from Apple?
TLDR: I need a new HD for my MB. Is it possible for me to install Windows 7 on my MB without bootcamp? Is it possible to download a legit copy of OSX Leopard from Apple, since I lost the installation disc?
Thank you for reading my post. All helpful suggestions are welcome and appreciated. :)

FYI, a cracked screen is not purely cosmetic.... a scratch might be. A crack can lead to moisture getting inside, or dust, etc. But on that note, once its fixed, it would be like new. Or someone can mickey mouse it.
PMed.
Thanks for the info! There has been no moisture/dust since it happened and it's already been a week. As far as it's current state, it's a perfectly functioning iPhone with the cosmetic flaws you see.
AS FAR AS PRICE, I have seen these go for $300 easily on eBay. My asking price is $300 OBO! Please make offers here as my PM Box is almost full! I'd rather sell to this community =)

I was almost going to get them at the Apple Store while I was returning my iPad Smart Cover but saw them on Amazon for a little bit less, no I just have to wait for shipping.

Then how will the articles be taken off of the list when the Guide is created and up to spec?
Linkety (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requested_articles) is an example but on a MUCH larger scale. Here's another good Linkety (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences#Computer_science.2C_computing.2C_and_Internet) that is an example.

Something like this should work. You may need to tweak the UIViewAnimationOptions.
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.8 delay:0.0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut | UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction animations:^(void) {
popContents.view.frame = CGRectMake(320, ypos-70, 350, 350);
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[self.view.superview addSubview:popContents.view];
}];
Don't forget you can nest animations inside of each other.

Do you pay your electricity bill?
Also that is one sure way to fry your Mac. Power surge can happen at any time.. Do you really trust those $100 surge boards for 24/7 use or do you have UPS.
Also think of how much dust gets in there...
Not smart to leave your computer on 24/7.
Are you kidding? The OP is just making a point about how good a mac is vs. a pc. If I even think about leaving my pc up for two days it will shut down just because I had that idea. The OP also stated that he had to leave it up to run a project for that amount of time.

When I bought my imac years ago, it made a loud, vibrating, squeal right out of the box. It was so long ago, I forget if it was a hard drive or fan. After a couple tries with phone support, I took it back and was given a new one.
