I went with my friend to get her mac in the store but i would have to drive 2.5 hrs to get there and with gas prices the way they are i would rather just buy it online.

How does it work when you are buying it with the education discount online. How do i prove that i am a college student? Do they just ask me for my student number or something?

Anyone done this?

I'm trying to sync audio files to my MP3 player, but when I try my computer says "Windows Media Player cannot perform the requested action because there is not enough storage space on your computer. Delete some unneeded files on your hard disk, and then try again." When
I try to delete things to my recycling bin then it says "There is not enough space on the disc to perform this operation."

I have no idea what to do. Can someone help?

I called my computer's support line to make sure that it was the correct one and that it would work. However, when I slid in the chip, the small slit at the end of the chip that goes it first does not align properly (by what seems to be mere micrometers) with the part it's suppose to fit it. The width is correct but the slit is the only problem. Is the chip defective? Was I lied to by the support line?

I should say that what i am using now is a Gateway desktop from about 6 yrs ago.

All i will be using it for is school (papers, research), downloading music, burning cds rarely, surfing the internet, and instant messaging.

I will not be editing movies or anything like that. I will not be burning DVDs so i don't need to get the next model up with superdrive.

My friend says to upgrade the harddrive to the next level but do i really need to if that is all i would be doing?

Thanks♥

I just made a new account on my mac, and the safari doesn't seem to be there. On the dock, there is just a grey question mark where the safari icon should be.

As far as graphics cards go, the "state of the art" ones, as far as I can tell, are Nvidia and G-Force. I noticed several specs that affected the price... one being MB of memory (from 256 to 512) and the other a seemingly random number, like 8500, 7200, one even as low as like 1550... could someone explain these numbers to me or perhaps just recommend a good graphics card? Thanks.
