Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Hmmm. Daniel. Say I succeed in removing the HD without frying myself, then what happens?
Then you send it to one of us and we try to get your data off of it.
or you can about $15-$20 on an adapter that will let you hook it up to your own computer and pull your data off, if the HDD is in working order. [link]
Or even a hard drive enclosure. and make it a portable hard drive.
The thing is, if the hard drive itself isn't dead, and if it was only the computer that died, you get access to your data.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Hmm, I have a problem with my iPhone. When I plug it into the dock, it charges... but doesn't appear in iTunes under sources. So it won't sync. And I can't do 'Restore' or change any of the options, because it's not there.
The only thing I can think of is that I upgraded to Leopard yesterday. This sucks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cheers Tom. I just went through that, got to the last bit - I had to trash iTunes and reinstall it manually. Now it works.
My Mac isn't allowed to misbehave. Oh no. I've had it nearly a year and until that point it always Just Worked.

Hmm. Okay. I'll work on it. The Genius Bar hooked up one of the thingies you linked to. Very cool since I could not get it to start up any other way.

ita, have you upgraded your AppleTV software to version 2 yet?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just did. Not sure how I feel about it. Flickr contacts, for instance, don't let me authenticate against Yahoo so I can't get to private photos.
And my network refuses to let my (wired) PC see any of the other devices on my network (wired or not), so I can't get from the Apple TV to it. I mistakenly tried to re-sync, so all the music and TV has gone.
That was a medium irritation with the TiVo. Much bigger here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sometimes after I play a DVD (and then quit the DVD program) on my MacBook, I lose my Dock. My Dock is set to autohide and it just don't appear anymore. Changing Dock settings doesn't bring it back - I have to reboot.
I've seen this behavior for both 10.5.1 and 10.5.2

You can just kill the Dock process, and it will restart.
