    G4 iBook fan only coming on.

    I have a G4 iBook, 1Ghz, 1.25gig RAM with Airport. I normally just sleep the thing, and when I went to wake it, I got the login window, then I started trying in my password. Half way through it seemed to lock up. I had to yank the battery to turn it off. I put the battery back in and try to...

    Migrating iTunes from Windows to Mac

    This is a tuff one. Right now, do you have iTunes copy everything to that folder when you add things to your library, and have iTunes keep it organised for you? If that is the case, then this will be easy.

    Changing wireless speed on MBP

    Macbook Pro running Tiger. After latest AirPort update it no longer connects to a Netgear Wireless-b router. Is there a way to force the MBP to run at wireless-b speeds instead of autodetecting?

    Challenge! Feelin' Lucky, PUNK?

    then you had the cable upsidedown. i know that some notebook cables are not keyed to prevent you from inserting the cable upsidedown.

    Challenge! Feelin' Lucky, PUNK?

    i'm guessing that there was some jumper not set right, or the ibook can't see a drive that large.

    Claris/Appleworks?

    i use neooffice 2, and its rather nice looking, and works well. i also love appleworks, and made use of it until this semester. i figured that it was time to move on with leopard coming.

    edit system spell checker

    i know which folder you ment, and it wasn't there. are you sure its not a folder from a different spelling app installed? and there is no forget button or selection either. again, this is 10.4.11's system wide spell checker, not some app.

    edit system spell checker

    ok, i'm a really bad speller, so when apple added spell checking to the os, i thought it was a godsend. well, i just got my 1st laptop, an used ibook g4. i love it, but the keyboard is smaller than i'm used to, so my spelling is even worse. and on top of that, i'm still learning to use the...

    WARNING - don't install 10.4.11 - includes new, buggy Safari

    all i know is that safari 3 works for far more things now then safari 2 did. i no longer have to goto other web browsers for certain sites. i'm very happy with it, and enjoy using it more every day. besides, if this site you use only works with 2.0.4, you can set safari 3 to work as 2.0.4...

    so far the only real issue i have is that it take 10 min or longer to boot. because of that, i haven't even taken any time to boot back into leopard to put it through the paces. if someone knows of a way to solve this, i'd like to hear it. and this is on my desktop as listed at the bottom. i...
