Mikuro: It may be a standard feature now, but my powerbook is at least 2 years old and I don't think it was then. lightly tapping my eject/f12 key brings the eject icon on the screen, pressing it hard, or even holding it down does the same. I can hold down the f12/eject key forever, but DB...

I guess that's the best way to ask it. Here's what I'm talking about. I have a 15" powerbook and when I hit the "f12" key it is the eject function. I have to hit fn+f12 to bring up dashboard. Is there anyway to switch it to where I fn+f12 is the eject function and I'll only need to hit 1...

I pulled 1 stick of ram and ran the test with stick 1 in slot 1...checked fine. I test stick 2 in slot 2 and got the error. I placed stick 1 in slot 2 and it checked fine. So it looks like it was all just a bad stick of ram. Oh well, i guess I'm off to crucial to place an order. Thanks...

I just ran the harware test and the the HD came up fine, but I got an error for the memory. Here's the code: mem_/2/4sodimo/j16top any clue what that is or where I can find out? Also, I was going to reseat the ram, but I've got no clue what tool I use to get those hex looking screws...

Thank you. I formatted the drive successfully, but everytime I start to install the OS I get a crash. Almost everytime it's the "black box" with an error message in multiple languages...but once there was text that started in the top left and worked it's way down the page. White text on...

After hours and hours of the reboot/crash process I managed to somehow get my Office data folder backed up. Other than that it seems all is lost. I finally booted into the DiskWarrior cd and tried to rebuild the harddrive, but it said it couldn't because there were too many errors. I'm...

I'm having the same problems except it isn't just software that crashes...everything crashes. Boot up, log in, crash...boot up, login, for some reason log in again, crash...boot up, crash. So I tried a few things (check this) without help...now I'm trying to do an archive install or even...

On my 1st attempt at an "archive and install" it would never verify the hard drive. 2nd and 3rd time it crashed before it could start. As much as it will suck, I'm going to have to do (or at least attempt) a fresh install. The only thing I really can't afford to lose is my emails that are...

Now I can't get disk utility or disk warrior to finish a task without crashing. I tried something called "safe boot" that I read somewhere online. when I start to boot up, the sound plays...as soon as it's done I hold the shift key down until I see the apple log & the swirling progress...

I have repaired permissions...I did not do it right before the update, but I had done it within 48 hours before the update. When I ran it afterwords I believe it repaired 2 things. I'll try running the disk utility now...I did have a USB mouse and a firewire Hard Drive hooked up (though not...

Ever since updating to 10.4.1 my PB has been shot. I have continual crashes when using any software. I tried adding my HDD to the privacy tab of the spotlight preferences and it was no help. I later removed it from the privacy tab and after multiple (15-20) reboot/immediate crash attempts I...
