Maybe you and your Mac just weren’t ready. November 9th, 2007
I install Leopard on the last of my three Macs. Today I did something I didn’t think I’d do: I installed Leopard on my 12″ PowerBook G4. I wasn’t planning on it. I didn’t think the G4 was beefy enough to run Leopard. But when I checked the system requirements, I was pleased to see that the Continue reading Three Computers, Three Leopard Installs August 18th, 2007
Put them in any order you like. Here’s a quick tip from my Tiger book that I didn’t remember until I stumbled on it today. More proof that writing a book about something doesn’t mean you remember everything in it. You can change the order of the icon menus on the far right end of the menu Continue reading Changing the Order of Menu Icons in Mac OS X August 14th, 2007
“This startup disk is not supported.” I just learned that Boot Camp cannot be installed on a Mac with a partitioned hard disk. The error message I got was: I wasted close to an hour trying to troubleshoot this problem before I found the answer hidden away in the documentation. (Duh-uh.) From the Troubleshooting section at the end of Continue reading Boot Camp and Partitioned Disks August 13th, 2007
For folks who have two operating systems installed on their computer. My “test mule” these days is a MacBook Pro. (I use the term “test mule” to identify the computer I use to run software on when I’m writing books and articles.) In preparation for writing a book about Leopard while I still had to work Continue reading Choosing Your Mac OS Startup Disk on the Fly April 3rd, 2007
That’s book number 68. I put the finishing touches on Microsoft Office Excel 2007: Visual QuickStart Guide. It’s my 68th book (I just counted) and right now, I feel as if I wrote them all yesterday. Okay, so not that tired. I had some trouble with this book. First, there was the beta software situation. Not only Continue reading Excel Book Done March 13th, 2007
A shortcut with good results. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been banging away at an iDVD project. The goal is to show still images from my helicopter tours and excursions as slide shows with music. I’m rather picky about these things and decided that I wanted to use the Ken Burns effect with a dissolve Continue reading Creating a Slide Show for iDVD February 24th, 2007
I try out two wireless mice and have a clear winner. February 9th, 2007
But what I really need is some advice. As my sick dual G5’s hard disk churns away for the seventh straight day of data recovery efforts using TechTool Pro and I start work on my Leopard book, I have come to realize that I’m going to need a new desktop Mac before year-end. Probably within the Continue reading I Need a New Mac |
