Review: Iomega 2TB Mac Companion Hard Drive | TechCrunch. This pricing is way off. For 3TB $449 is almost the same as the Time Capsule at $499. A Time Capsule offers so much than this unit. Iomega has never impressed me. I would never buy one myself. Every experience I have had with the company has been to deal with their failures.
Force Quit Applications warning on iMac…: Apple Support Communities. Interesting that it lists 3 programs that must be memory leakers. I seem to do better avoiding Firefox and Safari. Can’t really avoid the Finder but that is nice to know that restarting it may fix issues. The solution is below:
I just upgraded the recent version of Safari 5.1.2 for Snow Leopard and it’s supposed to fix the memory leak that’s eating up my RAM. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
You can’t use AirDrop over ethernet, so if you try to connect to a wired machine, it won’t work. Kellow goes into more detail below.
I might have found the reason behind the aforementioned behavior:
The AirDrop feature is apparently a Lion/AirPort-feature, and not a Lion/network-feature, meaning, if the iMac is connected to the network through a cable (RJ45), the above described behavior is the result.
The third issue mentioned, is apparently just how AirDrop works. AirDrop needs to be “activated” by Finder, which opens a ad hoc network though the AirPort. This does limit the use cases a lot.
Now, if only Apple would consider implementing AirDrop in iOS, the use cases would make a lot more sense…
Mac Mini Media Centre | The Hickensian | Hicksdesign – StumbleUpon. Some great details and experience with this setup. Personally I would only get a Mac TV if I wanted to screen share an iPad. Otherwise I would use a Mac Mini like he did.
raspberryaddiction said the solution.
There is a simple fix. Shut down the mac; unplug for 15 seconds. Plug in; wait 5 seconds. Then press the power button once. That should reset the SMU and fix the isight. It did for me.
