QUOTE(surichew @ Jun 16 2009, 07:24 PM) Hi, 1. Help from which software? OSX itself?1. I have problems with my Macbook's Help feature. Sometimes when I type something in the Search box, it'll freeze and then looks like Help restarts itself. It doesn't affect my Macbook or other programs, it's just annoying coz it doesn't open the Help window at all, it just freezed and then terminated & restarted itself. 2. Another question, if using Macbook on the bed is not good for air circulation, then is there anything I can use to support my Macbook when I'm using it on my bed? Like a notebook cooler for Macbooks or something? 3. Is there any ways to avoid ants from entering my Macbook? They LOVE to walk into the keypad. Is it because of the heat from my Macbook attracting them? I'm using the new Macbook 13" aluminium body. 2. Use your imagination & creativity. It can be your books, a board or even a small table. Its funny that you ask this question, no one govern how you use your macbook. Using a cooler definitely it's better if the cooler can effectively reduce heat. 3. No, start cleaning you macbook. It's more like the dirts/stain/food left over that fell into the keyboards are attractive the ants. |

2 ways:
1) Open your Mail Preference>Accounts and disable the Hotmail account on those mac you don't want it there. 2) Disable/exclude the sync for Hotmail in your mobileme. But you will lost the Hotmail setting if you want to setup on another mac. |

As the title suggest, there is a phantom display on the eMac. There is no plugged in for the display port. So, there is no reason why this should come up.
How to resolve this problem? I have tried resetting pram, reinstall the OS. It's 10.3 by the way.  
Added on July 2, 2009, 2:15 pmIt's giving me problem, as eMac don't support extended screen. So, the screen size on the eMac screen is being adjusted to 640X480. And this had given me a hard time trying to even update the OS as I can't reach the Agree button on the agreement window. This post has been edited by shoguniphicus: Jul 2 2009, 02:15 PM |

Try connecting a external display and disconnect it.

That was my first thought of solution. But, mini vga converter don't just grow on tree.
Anyway, after my thorough, going through the whole morning to check the cause. It turns out that the former designer misplaced the original eMac restore discs. The one I used, was for previous iBook. What a bummer. spent the whole morning just to realise it. Cause I remembered when i check hardware information in my mbp. It used to have a lot more information that just hardware no, rom no. and so on. My guess would be eMac specific 10.3 restore disc was required. Searched high and low, and behold, it was under the dusty cupboard where not even mouse would visit. Problem solved! Thanks for helping anyway. :DDD |

Check if there's any apps running at the background.
Perform a permission repair. Also check how much free space left. This post has been edited by wei: Jul 6 2009, 09:38 AM |

Thank's, Wei. I did what you told but still cannot be done. Finally, I have to reformat it so now it's working perfectly.
