Sometimes it makes sense to reformat your harddrive and reinstall Mac OSX.
This is especially if user error leads to problems with your iMac (or similar), or else you call Apple Support who advise writing over your existing install, leaving various errors with existing applications.
Going back to square one is easy:
1. Insert the first book disk [...]
Time to bring in some changes at Appleware…
Originally this was going to be a blog covering the experiences of a couple of people who were new to Apple, to document their experiences.
Unfortunately I didn’t have time to chronicle my own Apple starter experience, and although Kathryn never bought a Mac in the end, she did [...]
MacBook Air made its debut with lots of hype. There was even a near arrest (okay – so the guy at the airport was only detained because security had NO IDEA what the contraption was). But even I – who am in no way a computer genius – guessed that the hype would [...]
Apple computers have always been my favorite. I first learned my computer basics on an Apple. Even though I was impressed and actually fell in love, I have never owned my own Apple computer. If things stay the way they are today then I probably never will own one.
Apple computers are considered [...]
One of the greatest things about Apple products is that they are unique in design and function. The first Apple desk top that I worked on was in college and I instantly fell in love with the software. Imagine my shock a few years later when the IBM compatible computer at work was [...]

The Apple iPhone is designed to make life easier for the traveling office worker. It’s possible to do more on this device than any others in the past. Unfortunately, there are also more (and better) games available for the iPhone. It’s applications like these that make the technology less productive than they [...]
Dial up is getting me down. Because of my location (beautiful and great for the kids but not so hot for high-speed internet) my only choice is dial up or satellite. The household budget had dictated the choice for the most part. I did investigate satellite, but wasn’t impressed with the comments [...]
Apple is working hard to make working an easier task for everyone. With the introduction of the iPhone and other services, it is making it possible for the office to be where ever you are with just the touch of a button.
There are good points and bad points to being able to work all [...]
The rumors say that a new Apple iPod is on the horizon. From what I’ve been hearing and have read, it will offer consumers some of the many features of the iPhone with out having the added expenses of AT&T service.
The really good news is that the new iPod should be on the market [...]
