My old 15" has died and I need to replace. I'd like to know what makes and models are the simplest to get a Mac OS on. I have two requirements; a HD 17" screen, and backlit keyboard. I do some 3D work so a good video card would be great too. Cost is less of an issue, but I do have a limit.

I recently had to reinstall MountainLion due to a botched 10.8.5.update. All seems to be working now, even the slow to wake issue I had is gone. There's always a but…, so, but I get the Bluetooth app popping up every time it wakes letting me know it can't find a bluetooth keyboard. The built-in...

I have an HP 4530 with mountain lion installed. I've been using as a production machine for a while and have not kept up with updates. In between projects I reluctantly updated to 10.8.5, primarily due to the Goto Fail bug. After the update I get a kernel panic. I tried to boot into my...

I've started a new post on this... To recap, I updated to ML 10.8.4 and somehow got four desktops on the screen. Following, RehabMans' suggestion for removing the dsdt.aml file resulted in a non bootable system. Also this is not my first time installing ML on this computer, I've done this twice...

I have an hp 4530s which I've been trying to setup as triple boot. I had ML and Win7 installed and working. I can't seem to install ubuntu correctly. After six attempts I have trashed my Windows partition and the boot block so I can't update anything. The install seems to trash the partition I'm...

I have an HP 4530s laptop and I'm trying to update the bios. I currently have f.0A and I've downloaded f.30. I can't seem to install the bios. I get a bios failed message. How the F do I install the bios? I'm trying to install Mountain Loin on this computer and the install failed also. I...

I just picked up an HP 4530s with a dead drive. I'm new here and new to Hachintosh, but have been a long time Mac user. I have a 500Gb drive I can use now, but I may order a 1Tb before I start. I'd rather ask in advance than come here for post mistake damage control. I would like to setup a...
