This morning, Apple updated the Mac Book Pro line. Surprisingly, they decided not to offer the Quad Core of Intel i7 processors (i7-820QM, or i7-720QM). Instead, they are offering the dual core i7-620QM or the i5-540QM. The difference between i7-720QM and i5-620QM is 4 MB vs. 3 MB of smart on-board cache and 2.66 GHz […]
According to MacRumors.com, the 4-core MacBook Pro sporting Intel’s i5 and/or i7 mobile CPUs will be introduced this coming week. These CPUs were introduced by Intel in January, code named Arrandale, and subsequently, every laptop manufacturer under the sun brought out products using these CPUs, except Apple. Speculation on the street was that Apple’s engineering […]

My MacBook Pro 17″ has the common issue of waking up from sleep during transportation. Despite owning it for 7-8 months, I did not want to take it back as it is a relatively common problem with many people reporting that taking it back did not resolve this issue. To avoid shutting it down, I […]
I am using a Sony Clie TG50 and syncing it everyday with the Palm Desktop 4.1 and iSync 1.1 through USB as well as Bluetooth under OSX 10.2.8. I do not have Missing Sync. Ever since upgrading from Palm Desktop 4.0 to 4.1, syncing has been possible. Naturally, the PC-based utilities that come with the […]
OS X 10.2/iTunes3 Support file for Samsung SM-332B Combo DVD/CDRW Drive is here. I have installed a Samsung 332b DVD/ CDRW Drive (in G4/AGP). I just figured it out that if I modified the Plugin file, it would work. I have successfully modified the file. Now the Samsung 332b combo drive is now fully recognized. […]

As far as I could tell, the slave drive was often refusing to wake up, occasionally causing corruption problems. Not […]
You actually do not need to ‘reboot’ into single user mode to use fsck. Quit all programs other than Finder and Terminal. In terminal, go into su (superuser) mode. Type ‘shutdown now’ without quotes. That’ll kick you into single user mode. At the prompt, type fsck -y. Once done, type exit. ©2002 EthnoSync.com. All Rights […]
NTP not working, and I can not even force an “update now”. It does, however, correctly talk to NTP at power up ONLY. Numerous calls to Apple resulted in no answer. I have, however, identified that the clock does work properly in my QuickSilver when booted into OS 9.2.1 without NTP. So, there is something […]
