    Mac iPhoto Help Needed

    Yup - when he opened up the library on the new laptop it would have told him he needed to update the library. At that point the library would not run on the old iPhoto on the iMac. Reverting to backups is one option, another would be to export all photos to an external drive and import them...

    Setting up Zyxel 325 2 bay NAS

    I'd suggest plugging directly into router/switch to rule out potential home plug problems. Might mean moving PC temporarily but it's the only way to pin point the problem.

    Apple Macbook Differences

    MacBook Pro 13" and MacBook Pro Retina 13" do not have dedicated graphics chipsets, just the standard Intel 4000 integrated chipset. The 15" MacBook Pros have dedicated graphics and the integrated graphics and will switch between them. As mentioned, the i7 processor is a quad core and will be...

    MacBook Pro Backup and Recovery

    Depends if you have a hard drive caddy or an external hard drive. If so, then buy Carbon Copy Cloner, use this to clone your existing hard drive to the external drive or the SSD in the caddy. You can then install the SSD and, if necessary, use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external drive to...

    How to copy Apps between users on same Macbook?

    If you are on your laptop, go to Mac App Store and sign out of your account. Then sign in using your wife's Apple ID and go to Purchases. You will then be able to download any apps she has purchased. Bear in mind that you will need to sign in as her to update the apps if needed. A better way...

    apple airport extreme

    Some netgear routers can be switched to modem only mode, which then lets you use it directly with the Airport Extreme, this is how I have set it up at home and at a few clients. Try this on your router to see if it can be changed http://vpncasestudy.com/download/DG/DG834_Tips100.pdf

    Dropped external hard drive stopped working !

    We use a company called East Anglian Data Recovery. They do a no fee diagnostics and have a 'no data recovered - no charge' guarantee. Small company but we find the service is great and it's nice to be able to call and speak to the person working on your data.

    Best Value dslr for beginner

    Yup, the budget is a bit tight to get a DSLR system. Recently I got a Canon 40d and a 50mm prime lens for £320 from the classified section on this forum, and I still need a walkabout lens (e.g. 17-40 or similar) and a zoom (70-200 range) to complete my set. Don't forget memory cards too...

    Thinking of changing my camera bag

    I had a slingshot 100 or 200, and the strap system is designed to go across the body from left to right, with a second, thinner, securing strap coming up from the lower left and clicking into the main strap. What I found was that this was comfortable for walking about with, but the bag never...

    Compact Flash Cards?

    Thanks for the quick reply, as long as 30MB/s is fast enough I know what to look for. I used to use www.mymemory.co.uk who always seemed to be reasonable. Will have a look there now :)

    Compact Flash Cards?

    I was looking for a few pointers on CF cards if possible please? I have (or will soon have :)) a Canon 40d and since I last bought a CF card (about 4 years ago) there seems now to be a bewildering array of speed rating, read speeds and write speeds. Ideally I would like something that will...

    mac anti virus software

    Yup, the fact that the majority of people are behind NAT firewalls built into modern routers helps immensely. As an Apple certified professional I can assure you that Mac OS X has many features which combine to make it inherently secure, and combined with common sense will protect you. In 5...

    Can SIRI be used on iPhone 4 and 3GS

    Never said that it was removed because of a lack of processing power. The point I was making was that the app that used to be on the app store is not the same as what is running on the iPhone 4S. As stated someone has got it to run on a JB'd iPhone 4, but the article states that it does not run...
