Greetings, one of your friendly neighborhood community maintainers here.
I would like to address a few things regarding some recent posts in this community.
First of all, criticism of Apple and Apple products is welcome here. This is not a tyranny. However, that said, if you are posting said critique, be prepared to defend your position logically, and please do not make said critique by posting a link to a post in a different community. The flip side of this request, of course, is that if you wish to engage in a discussion with a differing opinion from the original poster, please keep the discussion to the topic of the post. Do not present your side of the argument in either case by personally attacking your fellow community members. Acting dismissive, while not strictly forbidden, is not a good debate tactic and tends to undermine your position.
Second, I wish to remind you all that we do, in fact, have community maintainers to do community maintainer tasks, such as removing/warning posts/posters as appropriate if the community rules or LJ TOS are violated. We are all three of us busy people, but we do have an email address that can be used to reach all three of us in the community profile, and we do read our email even if we're only skimming LJ itself. Please, rather than taking matters into your own hands and providing your own interpretation of what is and is not allowed in the community, or whether or not "Macintosh" includes "iPod" (for the record, it does; this community was created when iPods were but a twinkle in Steve Jobs's eye), use that email address to contact us, and let us take any heat from posting messages like this one instead of you.

| Weird errors |
[30 Dec 2009|03:36pm] |
This may be more of a FF question, but I wouldn't know where to ask that and I'm a Mac user, so this is my starting point. Feel free to point me in the right direction.
Using the latest version of Firefox, for the past day or so I have been getting weird errors. Things like 'your browser sent a request this site could not understand', and 404 pages that magically go away when I refresh the page. Then, today I see why I am getting these errors:

| removing airport password |
[29 Dec 2009|08:36pm] |
How does someone remove the stored Airport password to a particular network on a Powerbook? I want to let a relative use my Powerbook, but I don't want them to be able to access the internet which is the wifi in this house. For some reason I cannot figure out how to remove the password I've used to get onto the wifi network.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Just figured it out, it's all about keychain!

Has anyone had any personal experience with a solar charger/storage battery and either an iPhone or iPod Touch (2g)?
I spend a fair amount of time outdoors canoeing and camping and I was hoping to get something that I can use to keep both my phone (LG Lotus) and iPod charged for multi day canoe trips. The price ranges vary and some of both the expensive and the cheap seem kinda sketchy.

Hi everyone. :))
Coming again to ask for help to complete the Giveaway I'd like to offer to you all. I need a just single little thing. Indeed, since I could get to trade the 30 Pokés since last week, all I need is a nice soul to give me :
* The following TMs : TM 64 Explosion x4, TM 69 Rock Polish x4, and if possible as well, TM 51 Roost x4.
I'm offering all the four remaining Pokés of my previous offer as a reward.
I really need those TMs. Without them, I can't do the Giveaway. Thanks a VERY lot in advance !!
Thank you SO much for your help, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) faded_fae !!

Argh there's something wrong with my battery. Gosh, idk why my MacBook has been so rude to me lately but this one's the worst of all my problems.
When running on battery power, when it gets low-ish... I'd say less than 20%... the entire computer just shuts off. It doesn't give me a warning to connect to my AC adapter soon and it doesn't even get to red or anything on the battery meter. It just shuts off.
NOOOOWWWW.... the battery is constantly stuck on "Finishing Charge..." when connected to the AC adapter.
Should I just go ahead and schedule an appointment at the Apple Store or is there something I can do to remedy these battery malfunctions on my own?

| Slo Gin Mini & an iBook that can hold it's DVD. Too well. |

Hiya folks, got two questions for the group and I'm hoping some one can steer me in the right directions. I'm running a Duel Core Mini and it's starting to slow down on me. I suspect it's partially due to the age of my processor. The other problem probably has more to do with the size of my HD. Starting to run out of room here, so I went out and got a 1TB external figuring I could offload a movie or two, my music + pics, and a few other things that might be slowing the system down. Basically pare the internal HD down to the OS and run everything else external. Here's my first Q; 1) How does one migrate iTunes from one drive to the another without compromising accounts or permissions? I've also recently had a G4 iBook given too me. Weirdly enough it runs faster than my Mini, however I've got one problem with it. I tried to play a video DVD on it's internal dvd drive and, well, now I can't get the damn disk out of it. When I try to eject the DVD dismounts from the desktop, the machine clunks, wheezes and grinds, then the DVD re-mounts and pops back up on the desktop. This particular flavor of iBook does NOT have a manual eject and I've tried everything they recommend in the apple tech help forum. Including taking the battery out and resetting the system clock. Here's my other Q: 2) Short of going in with a set of pliers and ruining the Drive / DVD how, the HELL, do you get a DVD out of an iBook with no manual eject? At this point I'm about ready to take it down to the apple store and have them take a look at it. Maybe even see if putting a new drive in an OLD machine might be, in any way, cost effective. After all the machine was GIVEN to me. A few bucks in the hole is, pretty much, just an investment. IF it's ONLY a few bucks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
