I took a 1TB external (the small form factor model from WD), created two partitions on it, then installed Lion on one of the two partitions. It runs remarkably well, albeit just a tad slow in some aspects, but I have no major issues and it even goes to sleep! I was unable to install iStat Menus 2 (the last free version), some of the previously-installed apps from the Mac App Store (installed on my internal HDD), or use iProxy, but I really, really like Lion and can't wait for it to be released.
I ran Geekbench and, while I didn't expect a great score, only scored 3661 on a late-2008 MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 6 GB RAM). I'll just put that down to Lion being installed on an external USB2 device.
One thing I really liked was that when you download an app from the Mac App Store, instead of the app being installed in your dock, Launchpad is invoked and the app gets "installed" there.

I'm trying to fix 5 year old Macbook for some one .The problem is hard-drive space used up but the person has very little pictures ,music and work on the computer.
Some how only 7GB free of the 80GB hard-drive.
There is a similar thread http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=672477
Thread never got resolved.
well normally when I'm trying fix the same problem on PC running windows it is do to.
1.Bad sector
2.swap file /page file
3.hidden OS system support files
4.malware
5.windows files to keep OS running and windows needs lots of files and I mean lots, lots and lots of files!!!
But do not have that much experience here. What could the problem be.
I would try emptying all of the caches first (I once reclaimed 50 gb doing this!). There are freeware tools such as Onyx that will do this for you.
You could also use a tool like diskinventory to identify any large swap files that might be hanging around.

Or you could just wait and order a legit one from Apple in the coming days. Some rumors point to preorders for the white opening up today.
But if you still want to buy a used black one I'll sell you mine for the price of a non subsidized iPhone 4 ;)

I would rather buy an extra HD, because the you got another partition and much more space. :)

If cost is a issue OWC usually has great deals on their ram and seems to have a great warranty to back it up and will let you trade in old ram to knock the price down even further.
Seen that and it seems like a great deal.
Its worth noting though that if you bring in a computer with aftermarket RAM installed to the GB, you will run into some issues. Unless you REALLY need the extra cash back, id put the original apple RAM in that antistatic bag that the new stuff comes in and stick it somewhere safe in case the need arises.
Just a thought....

Nice collection, freaking jealous. Good to see you have 4 seasons of the office. :)
As of right now, I only have all the seasons of That 70's Show, taking a pic of a small collection isn't really pretty :(
Nice collection everyone :D
Thanks, I got Seasons 5 and 6 of the Office on blu in one of those cubs somewhere. The packaging of season 6 sucks, so I removed the discs and put them in separate cd holders. I had to do the same thing for Back to the Future.
You should post a pic anyway. No matter how many you got...Obey the thread! :D

I have a white iPhone 4, so i'll tell you about my experience.
Mine doesn't work, but it's an easy fix. I haven't bothered though.
It works fine.
It is not, but the proximity sensor doesn't work on more conversions than the earpiece not working.
The camera is fine. Even the flash is fine.

You do not get it. I never had any intention of deleting these files with out knowing what they were. This is why I created a thread entitled, "Safe to delete these files" hoping that someone here would know what they were. If my thread was called, "Is it a good idea if I delete these files even though I have no idea what they are" then your help would be greatly appreciated.

About 40 people now. They asked what model each person wants and handed out tickets. The deck of tickets was not that big but I don't know if there are more inside the store. They said black 16g wifi is sold out for now when I asked.

I love my G5 PowerPC- works beautifully, but I'm looking to upgrade from the PowerPC chip set to an Intel set, since it appears the software people don't want to support it anymore. I want to know if I can cannibalize my old Power Mac- just install the hard drives and memory into a couple of Intel Mac Pros that I'm looking at. Bottom line: are the memory and hard drives compatible?

I've had some problems with my Linksys router. It works about 98% of the time. But that 1% really gets to you... its just stops working sometimes for no good reason. Its the only router I've used, so maybe its a problem with routers accross the board.

Just called the Emeryville Apple store, and asked them if I could camp out there. They said they don't care but that I should check with Bay Street security. They gave me the number. The lady I talked to said that no camping is allowed on the sidewalk or street and police will be out that night. The time people can start lining up is at 7am. I called the Apple store on Powell in San Francisco and they said it no problem, no one ever gets bothered. Guess thats where I will be!
Brrr. Powell's collllld. Stay warm out there if you go.

Hi all, please bear with me.... :o
We have individual iTunes libraries on our PCs and can access them via each other's PCs and iphones and stream to our Apple Express in the Living room and that's all good.
I'm now looking at getting the rest of our CDs ripped and stuck on a shared hard drive and that's all good too!
I did rip (using EAC) a shedload a while back and have somehow ended up with a folder full of albums-some in WAV and some in FLAC.
I have now seperated the albums into "FLAC" and "WAV" folders in a folder called "EAC Rips".
Here's where my brain explodes...
We're not audiophiles and I'm happy to keep the existing music (on our PCs, in our iTunes libraries) in whatever format it's currently in (which is a mix of MP3 and Apple Lossless).
We've only recently got the Airport Express and we love it and it's rekindled my desire to have all our music available and selectable to stream to it.
As I say, we're not audiophiles, so a 1:1 copy (quality wise) is not a priority.
Having said that, what I'm thinking of doing is (if possible), convert the albums in the "EAC" folder to Apple Lossless and then stick it in my iTunes library and then carry on ripping the rest of our CDs into a format that you guys suggest.
The other thing that makes my head spin is tagging!
I really didn't realise there was so much to it and I always assumed that as long as you had the Artist Name>Album Name>Song Title that all was good (how wrong I was!).
The reason I say that, is that last night I dabbled with converting...
I added an album to iTunes last night that I didn't think was adding, (the album in question is an album that was ripped using EAC to WAV), but couldn't then see it where I would expect (alphabetically).
I then realised that the tagging had gone haywire somewhere along the way, as I found the album right at the bottom of my iTunes library (in iTunes), with pretty much the artist name/album/song title all in the artist name column!
So that's why it "wasn't there" (alphabetically) in the iTunes listing when I scrolled down looking for it.
So-getting back to my question...

No, I haven't installed any hacks, themes, or anything like that. I think altering the OS is just asking for trouble.
The only beta software I'm running is iChat AV, but I haven't done much with it and I rarely run it. I also ran Safari when that was beta (though I never ran any of the "unofficial" versions).
There also aren't any error messages in the Console.
