Trebor Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Anyone know a good .zip extractor software?I just downloaded the new Nike 6.0 BMX video and the regular zip extractor software (BOM Archive or whatever it's called) isn't working. Most distressing...P.S. I tried 'The Unarchiver' and it failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Jones Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Right guys, give me all you've got.I've never owned a Mac before, but fancy getting one and i've got loads of spare money and im 16 so nothing to pay for, so ...The white Macbook (like £700), any good?Any warnings/ things to look out for before i go and buy one?Just thought i'd ask before spending £700 odd.Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 The white macbooks are great, but get apple care. Although I've only had one issue with mine, more are cropping up now it's a year old.The white also fades, so make sure you keep it ultra clean!Other than that, you're set to enjoy your mac! Plus, the battery is awesome if you look after it. (I got 9 hours out of it when only watching movies on low brightness when I went over to Europe!)

nc7r Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Find a university student to get you 14% off and super cheap AppleCare if you buy it in store, or free Applecare except the phone support if you order through the telephone education store.I would be tempted not to get the plastic one because although they've just been updated recently, the plastic external casing discolors, and cracks super easy. I'd try get a student to get the discount and then you can look at the Aluminum one which is £949 (less 14%) makes it 816.14. Although those prices are with old VAT not new one.That's my opinion.

TheCircus Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Right, since 2 days ago (I believe around the time when I installed a software update for a number of things including 10.5.6) my mac has been going batshit insane. For a start the top bar is having discolouration problems which I originally thought might have been a burn in but noticed it was infact part of the rendering, so I assume this is a graphics artifact and could signal the end of my GPU? Here's the screenshot.In addition to this it's spent the last 2 days locking itself into one application and not letting me click any others. It seems to be fine now though? I have done nothing to it.Finally, I want to try an archive install, but the DVD drive on my mac is buggered and after some searching today I couldn't find anywhere in Oxford with an external DVD drive for under £80, which I can't be bothered to stretch to if I'm not even sure if it's going to work. Is there any way to perform an archive install without a DVD? (I have still got them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Isn't the top bar simply your wallpaper behind it?As for the drive how about http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EXTERNAL-USB-DVD-RW-...%3A1|240%3A1308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 You can do an install with an external hard drive. If it's a PPC mac, then you may need a firewire drive, otherwise a USB one will be fine. What are you trying to do? Copy Leopard onto a hard drive and run the setup off that? That will work fine - you have to hold something down at boot to boot from the USB drive. I can't remember what it is, so you'll have to google that. You might also have to make a partition on the external drive in the Apple file system, and extract the DVD iso onto that. I'm not sure - google for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I installed Leopard via firewire by using an iPod as a boot drive, so you don't need the drives, but you do need a firewire/usb external drive (I'd suggest FW, makes it slightly easier).
