    Is it worth upgrading this laptop?

    In my opinion, the RAM and SSD would help tremendously. For VMs, especially the RAM. I've found disk and internet speed to be my biggest bottlenecks. My dad has this fiver year old iMac. I did a fresh install of everything and it's proving that it can still be "speedy" today. With extra RAM and...

    How to manage external drives!?

    Okay so I'm brainstorming something I'd like to do. Basically, I need (want) to be able to connect 4 or more drives (probably SATA HDDs) to my MacBook Pro Retina. And I need to do this with a single USB cable, because (unfortunately) I have exactly 2 USB ports at my disposal with everything...

    [SOLVED] Forgot my home network password

    [SOLVED] I want to Hackintosh

    Try that guide i mentioned up above.. Just install it on that one hard drive. I'm not exactly sure how you'd choose.. I know on my hackintosh I can hit f9 on the boot and it shows me which drive I want to boot from.. I don't think it changes the boot order.

    [SOLVED] Help with ipad mini 4g LTE hotspot networking to wired printer

    Do you know if the router is using the iPad's hotspot? I mean, is the router using that as its internet source like it would a cable or modem connection? Also are you trying to print from the iPad or a computer?

    [SOLVED] I want to Hackintosh

    I might go for a newer operating system since leopard is at least 5 years old. Mountain Lion only costs $20 from the mac app store. (You'd have to find a friend who has a mac because leopard doesn't have the app store) Obviously there's some "shady" ways to get it. ;) The disk you have for OSX...
