Same Here! No 10.6.7...doesnt even show up in software update. I called apple. they dont have any info on why. All the rep said is the new model might have any bug fixed and so it doesnt need 10.6.7...
That dont sound right tho.
The only reason I knew is because Steam said it couldn't install portal 2 on 10.6.6. strange. We will see.

Tried it and hated it. I'll keep with MX 2004 until they release an update to speed things up. Of course, I never have been one to work well with new versions. I just upgraded to Tiger today :D
Is this app safe to uninstall by just deleting the folder? The installation thing makes me wary of just trashing it, for there may be other files somewhere...

OK... I am not sure if it needs to get sent out, but if it does, you're gonna be outta luck for a little while. I need to get my pb repaired too, but because of the hurrican, the houston plant has been completely evacuated and all air shipments have been stopped. So I wouldn't worry about taking it in for like another week or so. I am supposed to send my Apple Store Guy a e-mail later in the week to get an update about when I should come in. So, yeah I would call the Apple store before you do anything. Oh, and sent out repairs are usually estimated at 7-10 days. ;)

Lowering prices when you already can not manufacturer enough units is just foolish. Apple is strategically gathering cash so they can make more investments and make new products.
True...and Apple can do as they wish. But sooner or later their high priced Mac line will have to drop a bit in price if they wish to attract the "I ain't paying more than $900 for a bleeping computer" crowd. :) iPads may attract some of these people but for those of us who want a true computer that includes printing, USB ports, lots of storage, network sharing, VPN access, ability to create/author cds/dvds or code, a true keyboard, etc. the iPad will just never work.
I am waiting to see what the next iMac lineup will be...I own a 2007 Mini and it's great (but used literally 48 hours a year) but would be a nice treat to get a Mac that is much newer and more powerful. The Minis just aren't worth it anymore especially after Apple RAISED the price $100 the last time around. The $1199 iMac is all we need.

Hello everyone.
Has anyone find it necessary to close and re-open Chrome, iTunes, and Finder on Mac OSX (SL) from time to time? This applies only if you never turn off your Mac.
Every once in a while I find it necessary to restart Chrome to reduce memory usage, especially if I have a lot of open tabs with Flash video. If left unchecked, some tabs will start crashing.
Same thing with iTunes, when memory usage goes haywire, the app store iPhone/iPad screen shots will not load.
Finally, I need to relaunch Finder when folder icons starts disappearing. This would be akin to re-springing in iOS which also help releasing memory.
I hate to have to resort to installing more system memory just for the memory leaks. I wonder if other users have similar experience. Hopefully OSX Lion Finder will be improved.

1)The who cares line...love it...great reply.
2)The nonsense you speak of is why Amazon is killing the iPad as an e-reader. Don't believe me? Go read the tens of thousands of comments about how hard it is to read a book (not a website....not an email...a book) on an iPad.
We have both an iPad 1 and Kindle. Absolutely no comparison for reading books...iPad just stinks.
Who said anything about fail? You need to ease up and stick to the comments otherwise you look like a fool. Too late I guess.
I would not say the iPad stinks as an ereader, but the kindle is certainly better for reading books. I have read 15 to 20 full length books on my iPad, about the same on my phone, and hundreds on my kindle.
I travel a lot , so since I got my iPad, I do not bring the kindle (I have a DX). I am actually considering buying a little one just for novels, I got the DX for PDFs, a function the iPAD is 1000000 times better suited for.
All three devices are better than a PC for reading books. The order is clearly Kindle, iPad, iPhone.
Would be nice if Amazon could get the kindle to support some of the multimedia book features they do in the iOS and desktop apps. I am not even sure of the kindle itself supports the real page numbers the other apps support.

Novation Remote SL says "Automap is offline"
Midi setup recognized device a few times before but doesn't at all now. Scan doesn't help. Powers on via USB but that's all I can get now. I've also tried connecting via midi cable through fasttrackpro interface to no avail.

well i use to charge through the wall but with the new ipods its little more difficult than that because i gotta go behind my computer and unplug the cable since the ipods use a new cable. it should take 3 hours to charge fully. if nots charging in that amount of time i would say go for the wall.

Arn -
I love the new design (and I'm a web designer, so I'm not just saying that). I think it really gives the site much needed structure and organization.
I also like your streamlined logo - and appreciate that you switched your font to Myriad to mirror Apple's new look.
Everyone is complaining about the ad space - I say BRAVO to you for being an entrepreneur and making money off of your site. Take as much space as you need.
I look forward to seeing the new look/feel for the forums. They are very much in need of a facelift. I've fooled around with bulletin software before though, and I know how challenging it can be to change forum templates - especially all the configurations are in perl.
Since I love your site and use it all the time - if you need any pro-bono ideas or design, give me a holler! I'll send over my resume and links to my work - joe@bitterlemonstudio.com.
I look forward to using the site and seeing how it holds up in the real world.

Ok, the iTunes problems was not an iTunes problem. For whatever reason, my extra internal HD had a loose connection. I moved it around to another set of wires and it's perfectly ok. Problem solved.
As far as the fonts issue - I still have the problem but I went in (again) and reworked everything taking it down to bare bones. Then, instead of trying to manage fonts for all accounts (using FontBook) I now manage them by individual accounts. Meaning, I can simply drag and drop fonts to my user font folder just so I can 100% know what should be happening.
Agh...these problems have been nagging for a couple weeks now but it seems I've turned the corner.
The Mail issue does sound like it could be a font issue as well. At the height of this problem Mail and Safari would not even launch (duplicate fonts). Plus, when I was logging in I wasn't getting a complete login. Which also meant that when I went to logout there were other problems (like the OS logging out to the unix prompt or even simply shutting down on me).
Anyways, at least I can use Trade Gothic again and for now that's all that really matters. ;)
Good luck all...v

I enjoyed this post immensely as well. As someone in the chemical/nuclear engineering industry, my clients always gripe and complain about corporate greed when big bad oil makes $10 billion in profit in a quarter, but when Apple does it everyone sings their praises as their money goes right into Steve Jobs's bank account and talks about how great it is that the money they've worked for sits somewhere cross-country in the form of numbers on paper.
"Steve Jobs' bank account" eh? You appear not to know how corporations work.
And if my money is going to line someone's pockets, I'd rather it be someone who returns the favor by making my life more enjoyable rather than someone who will gouge me for a natural resource I need to transport me to the job to earn the money to pay for that natural resource, exploiting every war and rumor of war to charge me ever more for the privilege.

Agreed, but the latest nano is pretty poor, was surprised, seems very unapple-like. There is room for a good ultra portable small music player (gyms etc, I see so many ipods) and for them to please, please make a good quality headphone as standard, the ones that come with ipods (of any price) is pathetic. So, let's see what they do.
I bought a new nano specifically for the gym, I have a 160gb Classic that stays in my car, and an iPhone. Still love the dedicated for music iPods.

Am I the only one out there who's just not all that excited about the idea of a "Video" iPod? I like the iPod. I've had one since about three weeks after they first came out. It's a great music player. I don't want the entire thing to be a screen. The new 80GB models should hold me for quite a while, thank you.

If you don't want the optical drive, there is a special data doubler you can get for the 2009 Mac Mini which allows you to have two drives installed.
You could have a SSD for a boot drive and a high capacity mechanical hard disk to store your data, or a few mechanical hard disks for maximum storage.
OWC does have an install video and iFixit does have a good detailed guide on how to upgrade the hard drive in your Mac Mini. Well worth taking a look at those. The advice they give is very useful even for the experienced tech.
