I am now trying to start thinking Like a MAC user. Wish me luck Between my wife and I we have one Windows XP machine 2 windows 7 machines 2 iPod touches And now a Mac Mini RSW

Hello, My name is Stan. I am in the southern CA area. A TRUE Computer Novice ... when I had computer classes in college, they still had punch cards to give you an idea of my 'generation' ! My entire computer experience has been Apple [Mac], and only began after getting married to an avid Mac user. The reason that I sought out help here on the forums is that I have been a very active forum contributor on motorsport enthusiast forums, and know that a wealth of knowledge exists on these boards. I am hopeful to have someone or plural spoon-feed me information about repairing/upgrading an older Mac Mini G4 that is currently a paperweight. I have a MacBook, and the late…

Hi everyone, I'm not certain this is the right forum for me but I am really frustrated right now with Hotmail and customer support from Microsoft and I am looking for help or advice. I completely forgot my password to Hotmail (moving to South Korea form Canada...these things happen). I kept trying to access Hotmail with the result that I am now locked out. I have made five different requests to customer suppport over the last three days and I have had no response. I've tried to access the hotmail help forum on the microsoft site but I have to sign in with the hotmail username and password and, well...I am locked out of my hotmail account so I am unable to sign in. I ke…

Hello everyone. So glad I found this site. I have had my mac mini for many years and I can honestly say I have never had any problems with it. I have never even used the start-up disc and I don't know where it is. I guess it is time to learn more about my mini because I am having trouble. I will post on the Help forum. I am a graphic designer -- freelance for the last 12 years. I have been using Mac since about '86??? (I think). I was a typographer and used AGFA equipment when they told us we were switching to mac and my first one had a 80mb hard drive and 8 mbs of ram. Wow that was a long time ago. I hope that I will be able to contribute on this forum as much as I…

Greetings Long time Mac user, 1998. Service computers, camped in a data center in down town atlanta ga. Just got a mini server, today in fact. I have a mini mac PowerPC G4. Here is the question I would like to get an answer to. I want to migrate the applications from the G 4 mini to the server and then, and I know i am wasting resources. Use the server just for home, Quicken burn some Itunes for the hotrod and store my photos and other miss type of stuff. A. I think I need to boot the G 4 in the shared CD mode; then using the disk utility run migration, for my home folder and applications. I believe this will bring over the libraries also ...... is that correct …

Hi. I am Searcher and I am using Vista so you may be seeing a lot of me.

Hi I'm Nicki I'm not a techie, or even a hobbyist, but I am the one who has to sort out my kids laptops when they mess around with them (physically and virtually!) I'm here for advice and you'll find me in the window update section. Hoping some of you more technically minded people can help me and teach me! In return I can tell you about childbirth, since midwifery is my trade! Thanks

I found this site by searching for an error I was getting on Windows XP. My problem was solved by reading the thread so I thought I'd join and say hello and thanks.

I'll be first to introduce myself to anyone that happens along. My name is Bob Schwarz and I am the owner of this community as well as a few other which are all a part of Schwarz Network. I am an avid Microsoft supporter and also a beta tester of Microsoft software. I like to be on the bleeding edge so I will run the betas as my main software. In doing so I learn a lot. I will use Microsoft Help Forums to share that knowledge and help people.

Well this year all my presents to relatives are Apple products. I am giving my wife a 64bit iPod Touch. Everyone else is getting some sort of iPod or iPhone extra. I have to say it will be a very Apple Christmas in my house.

Use this forum to let us know if you find any bugs while browsing the site or what features you would like to see here at MacForo.

I am Bob Schwarz owner of MacForo as well as a network of other sites. I bought my first Mac about 10 years ago. Even though I owned a Mac I have always used a PC at work and at home. I bought a Mac Mini and since I bought it I find that I am using my PC's less and less. I created this forum for Mac Mini owners to discuss the Mac Mini. I hope to learn from the members here and then share what I have learned.
