Disable mounting Internal Macintosh HD at boot I never claimed it was easy. Perhaps some, maybe even you, might struggle with this procedure, but it would appear that the OP knows what he's doing. His knowledge of S.M.A.R.T is a clue that he's likely able to perform such a replacement. I answered in consideration of the OP's ability, not yours. As such, your down vote is quite unwarranted. |

Why can't some Macs upgrade to Mountain Lion? The limitation has to do with the inability for these machines' EFI to load 64-bit Kernle extensions, which was magically fixed by the MLPostFactor mod. My girlfriend's GMA Macbook is running it, and it's working great so far. |

Transfer RAM from MacBook Mid 2010 to MacBook Pro 2008 What do you mean by "I ruined my beloved mid 2010 MacBook," why not try to fix it? |

Transfer RAM from MacBook Mid 2010 to MacBook Pro 2008 The late 2008 model supports up to 8 (officially only 6, but it can actually do 8) GB of 1066 Mhz DDR3. |

Macbook Pro Early 2011 15 inch, Mountain Lion Booting issue Hmm that's really strange. It'd be hard to narrow down the problem. I would usually diagnose these problems with my copy of Apple's Service Diagnostics (thank you Pirate Bay) which gives very low level information on the performance of the machine. I really don't know what could be wrong in this case =/ |

iPhone opens applications or makes a call on its own It might be caused by a faulty (or dirty) touchscreen triggering false taps on random screen locations. It wouldn't be able to unlock a lock screen though, so does this behaviour persist even if the phone screen is locked? |

IPad won't play YouTube in background Is this on an iPad running iOS <6 (i.e. are you using Apple's youtube client or the official google youtube player from the App Store? |

Macbook Pro Early 2011 15 inch, Mountain Lion Booting issue That's a very strange issue. Have you tried the typical SMC and PRAM reset? Judging that you're running on a relatively new i7 chip, is there a chance you can take in to an Apple store? Generally problems persisting regardless of boot drive are caused by a hardware problem. Try taking out one RAM module (booting with just one) and then replacing it to isolate the other. That can help eliminate suspicion of a memory issue. |

is there a way to make my device look like it was never jailbroken Realistically speaking, I don't think they'll bother hiring private investigators to run data restoration on your sub $200 phone (the iPhone's parts + manufacturing + shipping adds to about $180, with slight variation between generations) so everything should be A ok |

Replacing rubber spring/cup under Tab key cap DON'T USE SUPERGLUE! Super glue breaks down rubber and most plastics into a hard white brittle material that just cracks upon first flex. |

MacBook won't detect displays unless I “detect displays” manually from System Prferences you guys aren't carefully reading my question… the display works 100% fine apart from requiring manual use of the "detect displays" button |

iPhone 4 stuck in recovery loop I was having the same issue with my 3GS, and found that trying over and over (like 10 times) helps. Try deleting and redownloading the firmware, then installing it after the phone has been off for about a day or two. It sounds weird but I've had this "fix" the problem twice thus far. |

find what's producing inactive memory "only 6gb of ram and it would not be enough" I run my macbook in this mode with only 4 lol. It doesn't crash, even when the RAM eventually fills. I suggest you check it out |

find what's producing inactive memory It's likely a glitch, so Xcode and final cut run just fun on most machines :P |

find what's producing inactive memory I know it's not really a solution (hence why I posted it as a comment), but it can alleviate the problem temporarily in order to (at least) regain system responsiveness. I also suggest you look into disabling Dynamic Memory Paging by running sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist (this can be undone with sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist. It may sound counter intuitive, but swapping causes the biggest issue, and Mac OS becomes more conservative on RAM usage when it can't page files out. |
