People, is there a way to enlarge the Safari Window with the sidebar showing the bookmark folders and the window the different names and urls? Mine are so small on the MBpro. I can check the window in the menu bar and zoom, that only extends the view to the sides, I can use control and zoo

[MacGroup] iPodTouch/iPhone 2.2 update

I just updated today and my iPod Touch seems a bit faster now. Also, great news, you can download podcasts directly from the iTunes app! No need to wait until you hook up to iTunes on your computer. No wonder the Podcaster app got dissed so badly. ___ The

[MacGroup] Apple Bluetooth mouse

I have an Apple Bluetooth (wireless) mouse, Model No. A1015 EMC No. 1938 It drains batteries at an extremely fast rate. I put two freshly recharged NiMH rechargeable batteries and they last a week, if I'm lucky. Regular Alkaline batteries do not last much longer. Is anyone else having battery pro

This may be just me, but I had a similar issue with the mouse draining batteries and found a solution. I was using rechargeable batteries and they just didn't hold up. I then allowed it to eat the alkaline batteries thinking that was just the nature of the beast. However, I tried the Energi

Same answer as Mike, the rechargeable batteries don't last worth a darn in a mouse. I use the Energizer Ultimate Lithium and those suckers last and last. Went on vacation and used my camera non stop, took tons of movies and many pictures. Never did have to change the batteries and they

I purchased a Western Digital 1 gig not many months ago and it is already dead. (Firewire 400,800, USB 2) I am sure it is still under warranty but I will just eat the loss for I certainly don't intend to send it in for repair with all my personal data on it. I will never go with Western
