Our company is finally going to produce some videos, and I need a good computer for editing. I've dealt with Hackintoshes or Customacs before, and for the most part they've been reliable. But since this would be my primary machine at work, I need some ideas to ensure downtime will be minimal...

Ok, I'll combine two issues... because they kind of happened together but could be completely separate. My computer sleeps when I tell it to. It wakes when I tell it to. But if it wakes up on its own... it doesn't "wake up". The fans are running, but nothing works. Here's a typical...

I just bought a new 2TB WD Passport, USB 3.0. I tested a few folders and the speed is great compared to 2.0. Ok, moving along. Started a time machine backup, all is going well. Looks like it should be done in about 30-40 minutes. It gets stuck at 64.72 of 223gb and comes to a craaaawl. It...

Has anyone figured out how to control the backlight of a non cinema-display with a Mac keyboard? No, I'm not talking about Shades and Brightness Slider or any other those simulators. I mean real backlight control, like on cinema displays, Macbooks, and iMacs... This has to be possible...

Long story short- 2nd hackintosh build. First is flawless on every count, including sleep / wake. It'll wake on network access. I can be outside of my LAN, try to stream a movie to an ipad while the computer is asleep, it'll wake up and work! That being said- I want that same functionality in...

I've seen this posted before, but thought I'd post my own success in this installation. I bought the 5 pin USB cable from monoprice for a couple bucks. The Apple infrared is from a MBP and I got it on eBay for 99 cents plus a couple bucks shipping. All in all I spent under 10 bucks for this and...

I've been able to get 5.1 in Plex but not iTunes or Netflix. Also can't get the OS to recognize I'm plugged into a 5.1 receiver. It thinks I can only run stereo... Any thoughts as to how I can run 5.1 ALL the time and not just within Plex? Running a gigabyte h67n-usb3-b3 mobo. Thanks for any...

First I'll go ahead and say I'm a newbie so try and use laymans terms if possible. I got my Hackintosh up and running, almost flawlessly. The graphics seems to work great (movies look good, full 1920x1080 on my TV etc) but every once in a while it will spaz out and I'll get some weird...

I'm trying to install Lion from scratch instead of going through all the steps in Snow Leopard to get to Lion. I followed the guide to a T but each time I boot it it gets stuck at the Apple screen before getting to the installation. Here are the specs of my build and what I'm working with...

The CustoMac Mini looks like a good build, but the case doesn't allow much expandability. I want basically the CustoMac Mini, except with a case that will allow a 2.5" SSD (for OS and apps) 2 3.5" HDD (1tb each) and at least one optical drive, preferably 2. I don't need any special CPU, just a...
