While trying to install Mac OS 10.4 from the install DVD the install stops during the "Basic Install ..." phase and I get a gray screen that says "You must restart the system by pressing the power button ....." shown four different languages. I restart installation over and over, it never gets...

The new 80GB iPod says that USB 2.0 is a requirement. Do any of the PowerMac G4's (I have a 450 Mhz AGP Sawtooth) have USB 2.0? or is it 1.1?? I'm wondering if the new iPod I'm getting will work with my older system. I'm running the latest OS, 10.4.7 ...

I *still* run a G4 Cube. That computer was (and still is) so cool back in the day. I've been debating an upgrade for some time now. But what to do with that cube is the big thing. Maybe I'll just pack it in a box and store it away - along with the Mac Classic, Mac LC and the "Pismo" Powerbook...

Your right about the part that Steve loves Macs... And that's why I think this is just plain bogus. Nothing in Vista that would make me jump ship. Most people may even revollt and switch to some Linux Distro instead. I can't see this happening.

I just downloaded the new iTune 6.0, but the free download says .99 cents when you select it. Maybe it will be corrected soon ...

It's still the same, I finally went to bed trying to wait. I can just here my grandmother say, "A watched pot never boils." Guess I'll get back to work and be patient ....

I switched to another provider for my area (http://www.clearwire.com/index.html). I don't see the problem anymore. I was able to run software update and watch the Apple Special event without any problem. So the Mac OS team my want to investigate the timeout to see if it is something that can be...

MrNivit1: For me, Yes, downloading updates from the web site works fine. So I have been able to update my system. pmbooks: Nothing really more to report. DirecWay tech support tells me that it is just network latency that's the cause. Not much they can do because the signal has to travel up...

Well I'm running a 450 Mhz G4 and running Tiger with no problems. The more RAM the better. This system started with 256 Mb of RAM and was fine for most tasks. It was just dog slow when too many users were logged in and using fast user switching rather than logging off. We've installed more RAM...

I have both systems. I can't seem to find an internal 802.11g card for the g3 (firewire). Is there an external card from anyone that will work for either of these systems?

Mac OS 10.4.2 G4 (AGP) I just moved to a new home and unfortunatly my fast internet connection through DSL (3.0 Mbits/sec) had to be changed to something a lot slower running over DirecWay satellite. Whenever I run the software update utility, I get a dialog box that pops up and says...

WOW! This is better pricing than macsales.com! Do any of you know that if I already have Tiger installed and just upgrade to this drive, do I have to do anything special or reinstall Tiger? Or should it just work out of the box?

So, the upgrade went well, no discernible problems yet. I was able to sync using the palm desktop to my Treo 650. Only thing that does not work is Docs To Go. I think I may have to reinstall it and see if the conduit starts syncing. Only issue that I ran into was having to select the "Erase...

Sorry to hear that :( This happened to a friend a couple of weeks back. He brought a dual 2.5 Ghz G5 and the 2.7's were announced the following week. He's just going to keep the dual 2.5.

Any idea on the launch date? will it be tomorrow?!!
