    How to open up my G4 powerbook to add RAM?

    i did a search or two and the answer didn't come up here, nor can i find it on the apple website. a friend said it was a simple matter of "popping up the keyboard"? that doesn't seem so simple. i started trying that and now i have the left corner stuck slightly up. it didn't seem like...

    thanks for your help...still trying to narrow down the problem, but now i believe i have a software issue related to my mac not being able to run the installer on the disk properly. see the thread i've started in the OSX software forum: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1319568

    unpkg/installer issues on G4 powerbook

    i've been having some issues with connecting to a firewire interface made by music hardware company alesis (see http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=273911). after eliminating another problem (bad firewire cable), i've discovered a problem which may be a software issue on my G4...

    FireWire Driver Missing (ALSDRVR.INF)? alesis fireport issue

    yeah, i thought that name sounded strange. even moreso when i noticed the only files with that extension i could find on a mac were microsoft office-related. although to me there are windows-ish sounding files used on mac OSX (i've only switched from OS9 last april), so i was giving it the...

    FireWire Driver Missing (ALSDRVR.INF)? alesis fireport issue

    mac/pc hard drives and the alesis HD24

    hi, sometimes i need to be able to dump tracks from my ALESIS HD24 hard disk recorder onto a computer for processing, and then back. the HD24's ethernet port makes this easy. i have a MAC powerbook (running OS 10.3.7), which can recognize the HD24 as a hard drive in a browser or FTP program...

    outgoing mail problem (OS 10.3.7)

    by the way: i've never actually used the "mail" program. this problem made me think about switching to it, but i can't even get it set up because "mail" delivers the general message "login has failed, please check username and password, do not continue or you may not be able to check your...

    outgoing mail problem (OS 10.3.7)

    my dialup ISP is most likely not the problem, since it occurs when not even using them. i used airport at a wifi hotspot and it still couldn't find my host, which is where my email account is. that would be thehostpros.com, who i also called. the admin was able to log into my account from...

    outgoing mail problem (OS 10.3.7)

    i asked this question before and tried a few things since then, so now i have more info. for almost 2 months i haven't been able to send email directly off my laptop (12" G4, 1.5GHz, 512). for comfort's sake i was using eudora, but now i'd like to switch over to the native mail program...

    Safari 1.2.4 Preferences can't change what I need

    I've noticed Safari 1.2.4 runs differently on 3 different computers I know. On a co-worker's G5, it's perfect. The two main things I love are that it keeps the "cmd-`" option to jumping between windows and the assumption of "http://***.com" from any word you type into the browser. However...

    safari navigation & newest version?

    i like the way IE keeps one history, and i like their download manager. netscape lost me when they went to 7.0. i also tried netscape's tabbed browsing but i didn't really like it. still you should be able to jump from tab to tab with a key command. i have panther but it's 1.2.4 and that's...

    safari navigation & newest version?

    one of my big reasons for sticking with IE on my G4 laptop (running 10.3.7) is that i like to open up multiple browser windows and jump between them with a keystroke, which in IE is CMD-`. for some reason this doesn't work on my laptop AT ALL, i just get an error noise. it works on safari...

    outgoing email/authentication problems

    yes, my ISP does require me to check mail before sending. but i'm not sending email through my ISP, i'm sending it through my host. checking the ISP's mail server and then trying to send through their POP mail from eudora doesn't work either. also, none of those things changed before it...

    outgoing email/authentication problems

    no, 5.2. but i don't think the version # is the problem, because then i wouldn't be having the same issue in apple's own mail program.

    outgoing email/authentication problems

    i have a g4 powerbook 1.5GHz/512 MB RAM running OS 10.3.7. over a week ago now, i suddenly stopped being able to send email from eudora 5.2 (this runs in OS X not classic). i use a dialup ISP and used their SMTP server for outgoing email. i checked with them and everything seems to be fine...
