    Netgear MA111 USB Wireless Adapter problem

    Great!! I looked in my closet this afternoon and only found a boxed set of 10.2 so that would not have been too much of an improvement for you. Make sure you download the combined update to get from 10.4 to 10.4.11 and then run Disk Utility and repair permissions. You should then be set...

    Netgear MA111 USB Wireless Adapter problem

    Get a grip; you're giving us a bad name. I live 35-95 miles away, depending on your suburb, but I was able to quickly Google and find a meeting for you in Richardson on Saturday the 12th where I'm sure you'll be able to find sources for all your needs. It's at http://www.acd.us/ Welcome to...

    Netgear MA111 USB Wireless Adapter problem

    You should be able to get a free copy of 10.3 from someone who has moved on to Tiger locally. It's not illegal to give it to someone who can use it. You just have to find a retail version not a machine specific version. Look for your nearest mac users group, graphics design shops, Craigslist...

    Netgear MA111 USB Wireless Adapter problem

    I'll point you in the right direction although I don't know if your particular MA111 will work with OS X. Netgear doesn't support OS X for this device and it probably has used at least two chipsets during its production life so the trick is to find out what chipset your MA111 has. You can...

    Internal Hard Disk does not show in Startup Disk options

    Both mount and are visible on the desktop or filesystem? Both had OS X installed?

    Yet another iMac G4 flat panel boot-to-black

    No. After it wouldn't boot to safe or verbose mode I tried the Option key and it's worked 3 times in a row. Leaving well enough alone for now. Yes. It stays on, goes to sleep as required, etc. Pending getting the thermal pads to remove the bug I will just leave it on. I'll update this...

    Yet another iMac G4 flat panel boot-to-black

    It won't boot up in either verbose or safe mode. It looks like booting up by using the Option key and selecting the HD is the only way to boot. I think there is a hang up in the boot sequence as no log is written prior to a normal boot. Evidence of this is no entries with old dates after a...

    Yet another iMac G4 flat panel boot-to-black

    Boot in safe mode? Not consistently. If it boots at all, it'll boot in every mode except open firmware. I've gotten the OF screen accidently once. I don't think it's an inverter/backlight issue as the hardware tests OK, no sign of booting as evidenced by it being absent when I try to ping it...

    Yet another iMac G4 flat panel boot-to-black

    DVD firmware upgrade didn't help. But I was able to boot using the zap PRAM, hold down Option key and then select HD. Did a fix permissions and checked HD. Some permissions fixed but only by removing execute bit. Nothing unusual. Log does look interesting. Note the intentional gap as this...

    Yet another iMac G4 flat panel boot-to-black

    This model 15" flat panel does not require firmware updates. Also, the two times I've been able to load and run the Apple hardware diagnostics, everything checks out fine. In the early phases of the problem, the Superdrive became unavailable and not seen by System Profiler. A PRAM zap brought...

    Yet another iMac G4 flat panel boot-to-black

    I've been using Macs since '85 and this one has me stumped. Machine in a 800Mhz G4 15" flat panel with 512/60, Airport card and Superdrive. OS 10.4.11 Symptom: Boot to black screen most of the time. Workarounds that sometimes work: 1. Zap PRAM then try Option key and choose HD to boot...

    HP LaserJet 2100 to work with iMac 10.4.11 Tiger?

    Another alternative is to convert your 2100 into a networked printer by adding an HP JetDirect 600N card to it. Most printers have a slot available similar to a PC's card slot. You just remove the slot's cover and then slid in the print server card. A good selection of sources from $24 and up is...
