The Do’s & Don’t of Tech Support

The Dos. This is kind of funny. I wonder if everyone gets stressed about computer people helping them. It must be if people are taking the time to write lists like this.

OSX Lion dont work with my Internet…: Apple Support Communities. Interesting that companies don’t make it easier to make their products work. I would avoid Olicard hardware just because of the poor support. Thanks robertobb.

Five iMovie bugs (and how to fix them) — Alex Day Music – StumbleUpon. Many people in businesses use iMovie. I like the suggestion to use FCPX.

Pondini solves it. How exciting it is when things work correctly.
Timemachine is Backing up again. What i have done:
Started Festplattendienstprogram (Harddisk Repair Program) and performed the check. The result was ok = green. (Like Pondini proposed, thanx!)
I stopped Timemachine by performing a reboot.
I deaktivated Timemachine backup.
I ereased the “Backup-in-progress-file” in the Mac mini Servers backup.
I started an manual Backup and this went ok.
After that i restard automated backup again.
So im am fine now!
Thanxs to everyone.
via Timemachine keeps indexing my Backup: Apple Support Communities.

This article has a ton of comments. It is about a year old but still good instructions. I don’t believe in Hackintoshing but it is amazing the amount of effort people put into this.

I did for the first time tonight on an old XP system that I have a Craigslist ad for in the NY area. It said it would take a significant amount of time to do and it wasn’t kidding! With a 140 GB drive it said it will take 15 hours! So I am letting it do that now.
If I can’t find anyone who wants it, I guess I will keep it as a spare. It seems a waste to me to throw a computer away that is perfectly functional. Perhaps I could find a charity who could use an XP machine.
I have rescued old systems in past places I have worked and given them to friend and charities. I know computers can be slow, but they are still very useful tools.


This is fantastic news. I found out from the developer that they are prepared for the next version of Mac OS X Lion. So that means that in the process of changing and cleaning house, people will be protected from their or Apple’s mistakes.
I have been using Disk Drill and it has worked great for me. I love the fact that it can protect programs from being undeleted. For example, many people accidentally drag and drop and delete the wrong application. Then they have to learn how to fix that problem and use unsupported third-party software. Rather than do that, they can just use DD to fix that problem. It is like having Time Machine but not having to buy an external drive. It has saved me time and money.

Fir/Sir/Mir XP/Vista & MAC OS X USB 2.0 Infrared Adapter IrDA up to 4Mbps U2-IRDA $39.98. Interesting. I had someone do a search for this term today and so I thought I’d write something about it. It allows you to connect through the IrDA interface. This might be useful if you want to sync with IrDA devices.
