Oh absolutely! It excels at the task.

The cutting edge is designed with enough leverage to make cutting
through the toughest plastic a breeze. The cutting head has a hole where
the piece you are cutting off travels through while you continue
cutting, which means you can slice through packaging without having to
stop at each side as you would with scissors or other package openers.
The handle has a lock so you can lock the things shut when not in use,
which is also handy.

I have been using a seagate external hard drive successfully for
storing my music files.It was never formatted for mac but worked
fine.Occasionally it would take a long time(two mins. or so) to appear
on desktop but now it is refusing to show.It is still working fine but
refuses to on my mac.Would anyone know of a solution for getting irt
to reappear?

I want to transfer files from my iPod Touch to my Mac. I see utilities on
Versiontracker that allow audio files to be retrieved from an iPod, but there
is no mention of video or other types of files.

Can someone recommend a way to copy all types of files from my iPod?

Thanks,

Greetings Macheads!

I need some assistance to squeeze some more life out of a Quicksilver
G4. The computer in question has 2 internal hard drives (80 gigs
each). One gave up the ghost a while ago and the second one has now
done the same.

So, my questions are:

- Type of drive I should be looking for: ATA? Ultra ATA? Other? (note:
I really don't understand the differences of the various formats. Just
looking to get the working right so I order the right one).

- I recall from reading specs somewhere (can't find the link now) that
there is a limit to the capacity of drive this computer will handle.
Correct? Is it 80 gigs?

- Can anyone recommend a source (other than ebay) for obtaining a
replacement? I need to get this computer running ASAP so reliability
and customer service is more important than saving a couple of $$.

Your suggestions and caveats are welcome.

As always your help is greatly appreciated.

Right, I've just upgraded the internal hard disk on my 17" Macbook
Pro, and kept my Boot Camp Windows XP install working.
I thought it worth posting a quick how-to on this, as it's not
entirely trivial - normal cloning software like CCC and SuperDuper
won't help you with your BootCamp partition.

First off, the drive replacement. On the Macbook it's easy. On the
Pro, less so: it requires dismantling the top casing of your laptop.
This isn't too bad if you're handy with a screwdriver, but you could
royally screw up your machine whilst simultaneously voiding your
warranty if you're less experienced. Your call.
I found a four-pack of Carlsberg at 1 a.m. to be my ideal time, but
again, YMMV.

First off, get yourself a firewire or USB drive caddy. Intel Macs can
use USB, PPC ones not as we're going to boot off it later.
Stick in your new big drive, and initialise using Disk Utility as Mac
OS Journalled. Download and run SuperDuper from Shirtpocket to clone
old drive to new one.
When done, restart your Mac, hold down ALT and choose the new drive as
a boot disk and check it works. OK? Right, time to swap drives.

Making sure the disk is attached to your Mac, start up the computer

should appear.

Warning, you cannot start an Intel Mac with a PPC startup disk, or
vice versa. Also, the OS has to be able to support the computer you
are using (e.g. don't use a Leopard disk to start up a G3).

Hello!

Which hardware should be best for an external harddisk which has to be
useable on all mentioned OS's? Which interface (USB or firewire)? NTFS,
HFS+, FAT32 or whatever?

Thanks!
