Wut brand is ur router and any Bluetooth device u using? Try changing ur router channel c if that solves it.

its a old crappy netgear, i've changed it to channel 6. No bluetooth devices in use.

Still takes awhile to link up and I usually have to reset the modem to speed things up.

Use GIMP : GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc.

http://www.gimp.org/features/

Download : http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

Running GIMP on Mac OS X requires Apple's X11 environment. It is included on the "Optional Installs" package on the OS X install disk.

Yes you can plug in almost any 3rd party drive. I say almost because I've encountered one encrypted flash drive that only has a driver for windows... whooops.

Only problem is to be able to write on an NTFS formatted drive you need a third party add-on such as NTFS-3G or Tuxera. I don't recommend enabling Snow Leopard's hidden ability to do so because I have personally experienced data corruption using it.

I was trying to access http://www.twistermc.com/1960/mac-twitter-clients/ when it told me that my Apple Macbook has virus. OMG. Is it true or is it just an advertisement? I put my trust on twistermc because it's a pretty popular website. I am getting all freaked out because the only antivirus I have is Sophos and it detected no virus. What do you think?

I've never trust any anti-virus on Mac .. none that work and none is needed. Probably its a third party advert .. get yourself an adsblock for safari or any of your favourite browsers and forget about those silly ads ..

You can always call Applecare. You get 3 months free support with your Mac. I'm sure they can help you. A reinstall seems a bit drastic. I've only reinstalled OS X on my iMac once and it wasn't even really a reinstall. I was upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard.

It'll be difficult for someone here to help you since we don't have much info to go on. There's about 103,000 things that can cause a MacBook Air to freeze.

Did you install any new software that might have caused it?

Can you startup in single-user mode?

It's important that you make sure it's not a hardware problem. If it is, get the Mac changed for a new one asap.

Try running a diskcheck mate. I've had a similar problem on my MBW. Ran a diskcheck via the OSX cd and managed to sort it out.

You'll have to boot-up from the USB stick and run Disk Utility from there, otherwise it cannot repair your boot drive. But since you reinstall already, no need lah.

Sure, that just clears all the progress report stuff you see in the Disk Utility window.
