[MaDDoG]

[MacHeadCase]

There's a chat room?
Absolutely! This ain't no ordinary dinky forum, my friend! We got class and we got IRC. MacApper IRC chat (http://macapper.com/forums/showthread.php?t=823).

[MaDDoG]

HELLO EVERYONE!

TANNER'S HERE!
(Thunderous applause) :tongue:

Nice seeing some familiar faces again, that's for sure!

Not much has changed with me.
Still live in Michigan.
It still has the worst economy out of all the states in the US.
I still can't get jobs.
Nobody else can't either still.

Same!


I'm happy to be here!

Thanks to MHC and to the admin who disabled the captchas so I could register. Noticed before and after I registered, the number of members increased greatly. lol

Keep in mind we're just starting and getting ourselves acquainted with this place ourselves. It's a very small forum and it's up to us to build it well. It's each and everyone's responsibility to make this the best place it can be.

So hop on the bus! :coolthumbup:

[Tanner31593]

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!

I can already see I spelled "Audio" wrong under my mac specs.

I'll change that eventually, I don't feel like it right now. lol.
My sig/avatar was going to be the first thing I did after registering, but that would mean logging into photobucket and uploading something. Bleh...i'm still on dial-up folks! Give me time!
Maybe i'll do that avatar now...

And.....

I'z havin noz iduhz whyz ne1z bz tawkin wit' zis stuhrange t0en, but i b doin it too.

THAT WAS SO HARD! It took me like 10 minutes.

And BORK! I love that...guy!
Thanks MO. Now i'm going to go watch Muppets From Space, and have fun, all because you said that!
I'm excited now.
I feel like watching rent too, but that's going to be hard because I don't have it.
Maybe BORK will be an inspiration of my new avatar? Hm....something to think about....

[MacHeadCase]

Ah Tanner Bork is all you! :)

And when we're hungry, we'll all look up to you, in expectation you have leftovers.

[MaDDoG]

Now theres an avatar for Tanner - Bork.

[iBones]

What's "borked"? Is that Canadian or French?

[MaDDoG]

[Tanner31593]

That SWEDISH CHEF and the whole BORK experience will become my avatar soon!

What's the name of that one muppet who has the blonde hair and who's in the band?

"FAR OUT MAN!"
lol.
I like that one.

[Tanner31593]

Well, the Chef isn't working out.

I'll just have THIS as my avatar!
Note: I put the picture full size in this post because last time I changed my avatar to a picture of myself with a weird camera affect, people thought it was an old lady. lol. I was like uh, no that's me...

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/Tanner31593/n711528072_561716_8175.jpg

Don't know how the picture got like that, I think it was the lamp in the background, and I was moving a bit, so was the camera. It was poolside.

http://www.savethegoldfish.co.uk/fun/muppet.php

[MacHeadCase]

:blink:

You scored 24...

You are ERNIE
You are fun and popular. You are a real crowd pleaser. You have probably been out on the town your share of times, yet you come home with the values that your mother taught you. Marriage and children are important to you, but only after you have fun. Don't let the people you please influence you to stray.

[Fallooza]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpiIWMWWVco

[MacHeadCase]

That's cute, Fallooza. :)

[iKitten]

I did it twice because so many answers were a tie:
You scored 30...

You are ELMO
You are cute and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and seldom have your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are witty and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of backstabbers, and you are worry free.
You scored 39...

You are BEAKER
You are sensitive and romantic. You work hard and dedicate a great deal of your life to helping others. You are a friendly person whose shyness sometimes gets mistaken for ignorance. You are liked by everyone who spends time with you but find it difficult to make new friends. In romance you sometimes need to be reminded and pushed in the right direction. You are very logical, this sometimes makes you look straight and boring but once people get to know you your intelligence and wit show through.

[mathogre]

I'm Ernie!

[JohnTheMacGeek]

I'm not so sure I like this, but I'm Gonzo!

[MaDDoG]

You scored 29...

You are GONZO
You have a giant nose, a nose so big that some call it a deformity. You are a well balanced individual who enjoys a little bit of everything. Your varied lifestyle can sometimes cause dilemmas especially when your desire for a pleasant family life conflicts with your urge to party. You are constantly organising your time to ensure social events don't interfere with family time. You are a career person with goals and targets. Your goals often change as the wilder side of your personality tells you you're bored. You like stability and security but often worry that you are getting tied down. You are prone to making impulsive decisions that impact on your career and family life. As you age you find the focus of your life shifting from party animal to family builder.

Hey John, me and you buddy.

You know guys? This is the ideal situation. Before the forum grows a lot, we get to know each other even better than we did and this will help build a very solid foundation to the forum. Then we can concentrate on welcoming new members. :)

WOah, this thread has taken a whole new direction!

I'm Ernie, and that muppet I was thinking of was Janice.

[iRye]

Well, I'm here. I'm Tom. I got banned from MF because schweb doesn't like me and made up a bunch of crap about multiple accounts.

i started my own forum, but I really like this forum. like a non-dictatorship Mac-Forums :D

[BlueBell]

Well, hey guys. I was PinkLemonade over at M-F, and due to a few mistakes on my part (ok, a LOT of mistakes) I'm no longer welcome there. But I loved M-F for the community anyway, and since most of the community is now here, this place is perfect.

Don't worry, I plan to do things right this time. :P I hope I can be a part of this forum for now and forever!

[iKitten]

Hi, guys! (I saw you were banned over there pink... I mean bluebell.) Hope you enjoy it around here. :)

Oh and this thread (http://macapper.com/forums/showthread.php?t=934) may be helpful!

[BlueBell]

Oh and this thread (http://macapper.com/forums/showthread.php?t=934) may be helpful!

Ah, I see. Maybe I should read rules before posting anything.:blush:

[MacHeadCase]

Hi guys! Welcome to MacApper.

This place is about to go under major reconstruction and forum rules have been re-written but haven't been posted yet. This reconstruction is due to be done around mid-July or so. And the whole website will be upgraded, including the main page with the app reviews.

You'll find that a lot of things look wonky in the forum pages and stuff, that's because the skin isn't compatible with the latest version of vBulletin (3.7.1) and needs to be changed since the skin is no longer updated.

The basic human decency rules apply here, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to you. We don't intend on being ultra-tight and stiff on the bad word filter, we just ask that everyone use their brains before hitting the submit button.

If the forum becomes a sewer then we will have to use the bad word filter and start restricting word usage.

So basically, it's all up to us, you see. And since this place is just starting, it means it's also up to us to build it.

[MacHeadCase]

Oh and in case you guys are wondering what the main page looks like, here it is (http://macapper.com/).

How to get there is a small link at the bottom of the forum pages, on the right hand side. This will be changed in the redesign as the link will be more obvious.

[Tanner31593]

Welcome, iRye and BlueBell!!!!!!
So excited that you're both hear!

[BlueBell]

Thanks Tanner, it's nice to see you and everyone else here again. I missed you guys. :)

[bobtomay]

As fas as being banned? I was kind of asking for it now that I look back, but thanks anyway. :)

Well, to be honest, its kinda easy to get banned from there. If you cross the wrong people :glare:

[iRye]

Well, don't let iNET buy us :D

[mathogre]

Hi BlueBell and iRye! Welcome!

[Tanner31593]

I didn't know that was his name either.
I read the post and I was like SOMEONE ELSE IS REGISTERING AS iRye!!!
I always thought iRye would have something to do with your name, but I guess not.

WHat IS up with the name iRye, anyway?

[iRye]

Its about a comedy show I was watching when i registered for MF. There was a lady making fun of Nova Scotians because "they drink a bit." "When I went to my parents in NS, when I got home, my dad handed me a big MUG OF RYE. No coke, no mix, JUST RYE! Because that's what I want after a 10 hour flight, a pint mug of RYE."

[BlueBell]

Well, to be honest, its kinda easy to get banned from there. If you cross the wrong people :glare:

Hello DLStarr ,macbookmaster, and zoolook!

[Gilajenn]

I suppose an intro might be in order now that I'm out from the shadows. I'm Jenn, and contrary to a lot of you here, I'm not a refugee from any other Mac site. I made the switch from PC to Mac last November, and now I do everything in my power to avoid having to run VMWare Fusion or even think about PC apps.

I'm a writer -- both non-fiction and fiction -- and I'm constantly playing with new writing/notetaking apps. My yak shaving activity for the week is to learn the ins and outs of OmniFocus before my demo expires to see if it'll actually keep me on track or just be another way of deluding myself into thinking I'm on track because I'm working so hard at it.

Nice meeting everyone!

[MacHeadCase]

Pleased to meet you Jenn. If ever you need some help with apps for OS X, don't hesitate and ask. We're here to help you if you need it. :coolthumbup:

[mathogre]

Welcome Jenn! I hope you're enjoying your Mac. ^_^

[Rxx]

Welcome Jenn!

[MacBookMaster]

hahaha, hey jenn! we will try not to distract you TOO much from your writing :P

[Gilajenn]

Thanks for the welcomes! I heart my Mac. The only things I still do PC-wise are writing/tech editing non-fiction projects (because of the publisher templates; fiction writing is done in Scrivener and NeoOffice). For everything else, I've been completely assimilated into the Mac collective. I had to help a friend with her laptop PC last week and it took me a minute to realize why the two-finger scrolling wasn't working. :tongue:

[MacBookMaster]

hahaha! macs are great! glad to hear you love them!

[JohnTheMacGeek]

I think I saw one of your posts on the M-F wall or in the discussion group and clicked on your name. Once you added me as a friend, I saw this site linked as one of your "home pages". I mean, I've been to Macapper before, but I guess I didn't realize there was a forum here.

I can't believe how much I've missed seeing you guys around the forums... Bob, Graham, Fallooza, Tech... is the whole crew here? I guess it didn't register how big the exodus was until now.

You too - that last PM was pretty depressing. Thought I'd never see ya again.

[cwa107]

Yeah, I'm starting to see that a bit. It really is starting to feel like Dennis, myself and a couple of others are playing tech support to a few thousand newbies - most of whom are completely unappreciative. It's probably a good thing that so many of the cooler people have found their way here.

[Mac0sXuser]

Yeah I missed some of you guys. I was worried about that as well. Glad to see you here though.

Yep. I would have used the Cookie Monster one, but I'd be dipped if I can find it. I'll have to find a different one to use over here, seeing as I'm sort of making a fresh start.

It's like I swallowed the blue pill. Someone really should have said something - had I not found MHC on Facebook, I wouldn't have known about this place.


I found it searching for MHC and Mathogre. I kind of missed everyone. And this is what my searching led me to. Been here for a while.

Like finding all my long lost friends.

You can make a lot of money in baseball I heard. :tongue:

[dtravis7]

I have always been part of a few forums. I still am an active member of Anandtech and 5 other Mac forums. Keeps me busy that is for sure. This one is nice for just kicking back and talking to nice folks!

[cwa107]

Just out of curiousity, what is the history of this forum? I remember reading MacApper's RSS feed pretty regularly until the whole debacle with "Malcor", when I really lost faith in it and a few others. I never realized MacApper had forums until now.

[MacHeadCase]

Well we found the forums in a state where it showed no one cared for them much. Riddled with spam posts and not cleaned up. I think MacApper is foremost the main page with the apps reviews. Forums come in second.

Yeah I hated the Malcor episode. Found it very distasteful that's when I decided I would never buy another MacHeist bundle. I thought the name MacApper was familiar till I found a thread on it after I joined. But I was looking for a forum and saw Kelly here (he's Ghostshadow "over there") and I joined just to PM him and then I decided to stay.

Not sure I would have stayed had I found the Malcor thread right smack at the beginning though.

[Greg]

Well, the Malcor episode is now behind us (I wasn't actually let in on the "secret" until a day after the front page was "hacked").

In hindsight, it probably wasn't in the best interest of the site to participate in the MH promotion, but there was never any harm meant to our readers.

Hopefully we can find a place in your RSS reader in the future :)

No harm done - I was just disappointed at the time. Of course, now that so many of my online friends are here, I see this place in a whole new light :)

It's really telling of the atmosphere of this place to see that people like MHC, Mathogre, Kilted1 and so many others, too numerous to count, have all flocked here. It's really great to see the sense of community that was formed in another place reinvigorated here. You can bet I've already resubscribed!

[Rxx]

You see that guys????

We should be proud :)

[koyote11]

Hi, I am a digital photographer-photoshopper, heavy into manipulation from converting a photo into an oil, water, sketch etc. I had spent many years developing skills to attain the above. I found that the key to such achievements within Photoshop is the use of filters. I found that Buzz Pro, Impressionist, virtual Painter and Mehdi were essential for such a transformation. www.pbase.com/koyote11.

For many reasons, I decided to make the switch to Mac. I was very disappointed that none of these plugins nor Mac substitutions are available. It appears to me that one would have to indulge in steep learning curve software like painter to achieve such an end. I heard the propaganda, that Mac works circles around Pc with image work. But in this area, I strongly disagree. How can Mac owners work photoshop to create art pieces. Sadly, it appears that PC has the corner in this area. Please prove me wrong. JM

Hi I am new to the mac world and like it so far from NY :thumbup:. I got a G4 from a friend and it was working fine until last week, when I turned it on it said "you need to restart your computer hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button" he gave me a couple repair cd's but I can't even open the drive since the computer is not really on. Anyone ever had this problem if so what did you do? or do I need to take this to Mac directly? Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

[MacMarine]

Hi all,

I am NEW to the mac.

It has so many WOW's to it.

I live in Florida and really want to "hook up" with

experienced Mac users to help "teach" me mac.

I got so enthralled with Mac, I have 2 Power Mac's,

Ibook, and now a Macbook Pro!

Is that CRAZY or what? :w00t:

[MacMarine]

Hi "Z",

I too have a G3 that I got at a yard sale for $10.00.

I took it to my computer guy to check it out.

I am NEW to mac's too (about 4 months now.)

Here's My suggestion to you: Use what you have to get familiar with

the Mac.

Heck, I jumped right in and got 2 PowerMac's,

(Towers),Ibook (all G4's),Macbook Pro and the G3 Imac.

Found all on Craigs list!

I am in awe at how they are.

Maybe look for a MUG Group in your area. ( Mac Users Group)

Most of these guys/gals are Fantastic with help.

I know that is NOT really answering your question however. LOL

Hey... the new guy here. I just bought a PowerMac G4 QuickSilver.
I noticed that After I've dragged new applications into the dock, or rename the "home" icon, then restart.........the changes I,ve made are always gone. I checked the 3.6 battery level on the motherboard, it reads 3.0.
I don't think it's the battery, it doesn't seem that weak. Any ideas anyone?
I'd appreciate the advice.

A cold dry night 7 celsius here!

I just bought a new 17" MacBook Pro the one piece aluminium machine to replace my other 17" one (2.4Gig, 160HD + 4gig ram bought in mid 2007.

Why? - because I'm a gadget man and liked the idea of a bigger HD of 320Gig and an 8 hour battery????

Just did a search for Mac forums and found this one - looks OK so far!

Look forward to interacting.

My name is Juelie and this is the first time I have posted to this group. I used to belong to an "on-line" group years ago that was dedicated to iMacs. Can anyone tell me where is the best place to post my first question:

Recently my old iMac (graphite from 1999) would not start after a huge power failure here in Bozeman, Montana. I was able to retreive what was on my hard drive, but no one here seems to know the "old" stuff from OS 9. I had the old iMac HD contents placed on my G5. I have been unable to find the data that was stored on my "OS 9 note pad and stickies". My old iMac was able to start up in both OS9 and OX 10.4. I know the data must be stored somewhere, but can't find where.

Thank you for any assistance anyone can give....

Hello, My name is Korey. I was a long time windows guy and had the typical "windows is superior, mac is a toy" mind set. Of course I had no exposure to mac. I fell in love with the iphone but it wouldn't work with exchange so when 3g came out I was at the apple store several times before the release looking at the 1st gen iphone. The podcasts and radio shows I listen to have a very high regard for macs and infact think they are superior and more powerful. While I was in there I had a chance to play with the mac computers. Those two things combined I decided to get an iMac 24" and give it a shot. I can always put windows on if I needed to. I was blown away with the whole thing. It just worked, right?

Well the imac lead to a 15" unibody macbook pro. My fiance sat next to me for months and watched how awesome it was so I handed that down to her and got a 17" one for myself. I worked over our IT people at work and talked them into letting me buy a 24" iMac for work. Now I'm on nothing but macs. I'm spreading the word and everyone I talk to says I have a passion for this stuff. I hope to write about mac at work. Its a fantastic platform but doesn't blend with the windows world as nicely as it could. There are many programs that dont exist for the mac yet. I think it will all change in the next several years as mac popularity grows.

I live in Tualatin Oregon, near Portland, have 2 kids and a fiance. I work full time for a company that manufactures equipment for paper mills.

Hi everybody!

My name is Marissa Meli and I'm a new writer with the site.

I just graduated from college after finishing by BA at Harvard and Northwestern Universities. I live in Chicago and absolutely love it. I'm trying to make a career out of games journalism. I'm also a writer and evening editor for thebbps.com. The editor-in-chief also writes for the site...hello Jim Squires!


I first got into Apple when I was 12 or 13 and got a first-gen iPod. I am the spawn of a hardcore PC loving family made up of a lot of programmers so I am a bit of an outlaw.

I am seriously hoping Apple makes a game console next generation, although I wouldn't bet my life on it.

I am super-friendly, so send me a message anytime!

I always grew up with Apples; my parents loved them, and so I guess it's genetic? I love the interface, the ingenuity, pretty much everything about them.

I'm really excited to be writing for the site, so it's going to be fun!

Howdy folks,

Not really sure what the hell I'm doing here. I'm kind of thinking this is just an intro page, but here's my issue...

I'm running 10.4.11 and all of a sudden, a few weeks ago, my computer just decides it doesn't want to download torrents anymore. I mean, I can download the torrent file, but then when I drag it into Tomato Torrent, it just times out.

It's KILLIN' me... pleeeeease, any suggestions would be massively appreciated...

Thanks
