Sorry if this has been discussed already, I tried to search but found nothing of use. Phonebook and Stocks widgets are no use in the UK unless there's something I'm missing. Can't get prices for UK stocks and my postcode is in the phonebook but I get no results. Anyone got any ideads?

My friend has just bought a copy of panther and is trying to install. On inserting disk one, the computer restarts and goes through the various screens but when it gets to the destination disk select screen, there is no disk to select. The machine is an ibook G3 running OS 10.1.5. We...

Recently bought a new mac, so backed up some files off my old one to DVD-R. Checked the DVD worked and then got my new mac. When I put to DVD in my new mac, the DVD mounts but the files have no icons and when I click on them they disappear completely. If I try to copy the files off I...

Recently bought an eMac G4 (1.25) - the entry level one. I've put more RAM into it and Airport, but now I reckon I should put a superdrive into it. 3 Qeustions: Is it easy? Which drive should I buy? Do I need to modify the system software to recognise it?

Just got a Medion 40820 off eBay - does digital phots and AVI movies. No problems there - Mac OSX just mounts it like a disc. The size of a 10 cigarette packet, a bargain at £45 Problem is the webcam feature, I can't find an application or driver which will talk to it. Anyone got any...

Recently bought an eMac and fitted Airport, I was up and running in minutes. My connection is an NTL cable internet connection - with a d-link wifi router attached. My eMac connects without any stress. I got an Airport card for my PowerBook G3 and fitted it, it sees my wireless network...

Bought an eMac last week and used the firewire feature to send all my old pismo powerbook infor to the new machine. Great I thought, 'til it started crashing. This morning before work it crashed - dumping a load of code on screen. Couldn't get it to restart for ages - it would just crash...

I never thought I'd be accusing Apple of ripping me off - so I won't until I understand what's happening here. I've joined the music store, bought a couple of MP3s - supporting the artists and all that. Anyway - I can't burn them to CD to listen to in my car. My car stereo is a Sony...

Does anyone know of a free or shareware utility which will stitch together a series of photos to make a quicktime movie? I am doing time lapse digital photography and want to make the finished shots into a movie file. Thanks.

This is probably simple - but so am I :) At the moment iTunes by default stores my music on my HD in my local folder... me/itunes/itunesmusic - whatever. Is there a wayof making it store my music somewhere else by default - I have an external FW drive which I'd like to use rather than the...

I have a firewire hd attached to my powerbook. I use this to store and transport sensitive files. I am the admin account but I don't want certain other accounts to be able to mount this volume - how can I stop this without reformatting? Is there a system option or does it require a 3rd party...

Does anyone know how I can get iTunes to see my pioneer 106 DVD-R/CDRW? It's in an external f/w case connected to my powerbook. Toast can see it but nothing else. System is 10.3.3

I've searched everywhere for the answer to this but found nothing exact. You are my last resort and probably best too. The setup at the moment is a powerbook running Panther, a router and a cable modem. I connect wirelessly using a d-link usb thing to the d-link router which is connected to...

I just received a 512Mb memory module for my Pismo (from ebay). I ordered PC100 and the guy sent me PC133. If I put PC133 in my G3 Powerbook Pismo 400mhz will it work or should I send it back and demand PC100? The memory was actually advertised as PC100 for Apple Laptops and I specifically...

I have an NTL set top box with which I receive a broadband connection at home. It's not a seperate cable modem - just a set top box with a 5 metre ethernet cable connected to my powerbook, and I want to get rid of the cable and get set up with wifi. I've found some products online which I...

PCMCIA (cardbus) to USB 2.0 adaptor I've seen one of these made by Adaptec and they say it works on a mac (powerbook). It costs about £35.00 but I've also seen other cards which do the same thing on ebay for about £12.00 Question: Has anyone ever used one of these and does anyone know...

Hi and sorry if there is a simple fix for my problem. I have a video on my site - which is on my computer @ www.leeminggs.co.uk (I dived with sharks for my 30th birthday present of my missus) I have a problem - the video doesn't stream and I want it to. At the moment it has to load...

I (stupidly) bought a DVD+RW, it's now for sale and going to be replaced with a Pioneer DVD+/-RW drive. I've found a local company selling this: Pioneer DVR-106 DVD +/-R/RW Ivory 4 speed IDE OEM [Drive only] Can anyone tell me if this is the correct drive I've read about on other posts...

Is there anyone out there who can make a device-plugin? I bought a Lite-On CDRW a few months back, fine with Toast but I couldn't burn from the Desktop or iTunes. I hunted around and found a device-driver which some clever brainiac had made, that sorted the problem out. I've since upgraded...

Just got a DVD+RW and put it in an external FW case - works fine for burning, but... When I try to erase a RW disk, it seems to take for ever and I end up force quitting because there's no light in my DVD+RW drive to suggest the drive is busy. With quick erase it tells me it's done but then...
