I purchased a new western digital my passport essential external drive.
It keeps powering down/ejecting on it's own.
It's the kind that is powered by the USB ports on your computer.
I formatted it with fat32 but I also tried Mac formatting and it did not matter.
I'm using it on a late 2008 MacBook pro.
I tried a different USB cable with no benefit.
It shuts down at what seems like random intervals.
Any ideas on what this can be?
Thanks.

This is a tethered jailbreak. Try to use iBooty to boot it from the DFU state after the installation.

If Apple wanted to make their phone available worldwide, signing with T-mobile would be the better choice. Compared to Cingular, Deutsche Telekom (the parent company to T-mobile USA) has a much larger market worldwide, covering Germany, the United States, Great Britain, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Hungary, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovena, and Slovakia.
...Although Apple could sign a contract with just T-mobile USA; anything is possible.

Check out his production work for Joker's Daughter. Great album! :)
Yeah I've been wanting to listen to that one for quite a while huh! Have you listened to The Black Keys - Attack And Release?

Does anyone know what GPU you need to get resolution independence?
- Have an address bar so I can copy and paste file locations. Really useful to a developer, especially with working between the Finder and Terminal.
Drag-n-drop file/folder in terminal (you can drag icon in title bar too)
- Have a way of seeing how much disk space directories and their children take up, both with number sizes and graphically.
Info window? You won't have the graphical view, though.
Cool, at least now I'll be able to copy things from the Finder to the Terminal with your approach. Still won't work in reverse though.
The thing is that the size is around a six digit number, something that easily would fit in the existing Finder window, without needing another popup inspector window. Especially on small 1024x768 screens like my 12" iBook.
Web pages are NOT resolution independent for the most part.
Not disagreeing with you at all, but just thinking how sad this is. Anyone remember when HTML first came out, it was a language to describe the logical structure of a document, not really how to lay it out. The idea being that any browser on any platform or device could render it however. And here we are, where websites are made to fit only at 800x600 or 1024x768, and won't take advantage of larger resolution screens.
Yeah I don't think so. Unless you scale it to an exact multiple, it's going to look like crap.
Depends on the anti-aliasing algorithm. If it's done in hardware, then exact multiples shouldn't be an issue.
I'm with you all the way on this.
On the download, right-click yr desktop and click keep arranged by ...whatever you like... to prevent from the downloads stacking up eachother
Thank you, but I put my icons in specific places on my Desktop, so if I organised by name or anything, then it would jumble everything up.

In answer to his other question, whether the backlit keyboard will make a re-appearance in the next MBA ... I would say the jury is out.
Some are convinced there are technical reasons why the blk isn't in the current model, and those same reasons will prevent the inclusion of the blk in the next MBA.
I, on the other hand, along with others, don't agree with that assumption, and think there's a decent chance the next MBA will in fact have a backlit keyboard.
Yes, I agree. Like the lock switch on the iPad, this is frequently requested (according to this and other Mac sites).

I had to do a current technology project, too.
I GAVE A FORTY-FIVE MINUTE LONG PRESENTATION ON OSX!
(I'm awesome. I took up HALF the class period)
What I did, I just took the screen shots from the iindigo3d Mac OS history thing (thanks, dude! I know you wander around the boards, YOU ROCK!!!) and printed all of them, then I took screen shots of windows from 1.0 all the way to XP.
I was Sure to mention SPYWARE, VIRUSES and other things.. people already knew I was pretty appley before I gave it.. I mentioned nothing bad about OS X. (I am drunk on kool aid. I couldn't think of anything bad! haha.)
If you can find a site giving the history of it, it has basically done your work for you.
There's one of the history of Photoshop GUI and engadget made a history of iPod a while ago.
google around, someone probably has already done what you feel like doing, and put it in the interweb.
..it's not cheating if you already know it.. :o :p

I am just trying to wrap my head around why if I would have 2x SSD's (one with Win7, the other OSX) connected to the Areca controller in pass through mode (not raid) would I not be able to select the drive to boot from upon startup or in the worst case from within OSX through the startup disk utility?
OK.
Well, first off, you cannot have both OS's on the RAID card. OS X would boot from the card, but Windows will not. This is why the Windows disk must be attached to the ICH (it's been tried unsuccessfully with multiple cards from different brands).
But with this configuration, you will be able to use the Boot Loader built into the MP's firmware to select which OS you want to boot (still have to set the OS X boot disk under System Preferences). Windows is done during the installation process (you select the disk location, and that gets set in the Boot Loader).
Take a look at Apple's Boot Camp page (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/) for further information (How To Guide).
Or say if I have one SSD connected to the backplane SATA2 ports via backplane cable and the other to the Areca controller in pass through mode, what methods will be available to me for switching between the operating system I wish to boot from ? e.g. Can I call up a boot menu holding the option key during startup and select to boot from the SSD with Windows 7 or must I first log into OSX, open startup disk utility and select the SSD with Win 7 as the drive to startup from next time? or is this managed through bootcamp?
Assuming you mean to use the ICH for the Windows disk (backplane connector that's meant for the empty ODD bay), see above.
To access the Boot Loader Menu, hold down the Option key during startup (brings up the installed OS's), and select which one you want to use.
As for mounting the two SSD's and connecting power to them what is your opinion on the MaxUpgrade kits like the below, they don't have any pics etc. Do their power cables take power from the backplane cable and splice off into multiple SATA power? if so do you think there is data cable to connect the one SSD to onboard sata2:
MaxConnect for Mac Pro [2009-2010] Models
Disk Drive Mount (CNC Machined Aluminum) for the Four 2.5 inch SATA drives in the Optical Bay
iPass /MiniSAS Cable from the PCIe Controller to the Optical Bay 1 meter - to the Areca
Power Cables for the Four 2.5 inch SATA Drives
Mac Pro's with Third Party RAID Cards (with MiniSAS Connector)
The kit includes a means of getting power to the disks (connects to the connector on the backplane board <one with the PCIe slots>, where the drives normally connect to <both power and data to the ICH>). So you get up to 4 of these (part of why you need to pay attention to the part number you order from MaxUpgrades).
It's meant to get up to 4x HDD's attached to a 3rd party RAID card (includes all the parts needed to do this, such as cables and custom trays that are shallower in order for the cables to fit).
In short, it will do what you need (has been used successfully many times). Just make sure you order the right part (both system's model year as well as the disk count - it's not hard, but do pay attention or you may get the wrong one).
Is the battery backup module T113 worth getting for
the Areca 1880 to protect against power failure or is it not that vital
if one has a good UPS? I suppose an UPS does not protect against
internal PC failures, accidental shut downs etc. But the Mac Pro
seems to be a reliable machine.
Ideally, run both. So if the budget allows for it, get it.
BTW, make sure the UPS uses a pure sine wave inverter, not a stepped unit (i.e. SmartUPS series from APC). There are another type beginning to ship (PWM based steps = more of them, so it better approximates a sine wave). But for about the same cost, you can get a true sine wave unit in the refurbished market if you look.

Try System preferences -> Sound-> Output, make sure the jack in selected under output not internal speakers. Restart itunes to make sure it recognizes the switch. Maybe test a set of headphones to ensure the jack is working properly. On the tv it should list right next to the input what it actually is, make sure the tv is set to that input and make sure it is an input not output. If it still doesn't work let us know.
