Recently I purchased a hard drive enclosure for a 2.5" 30 GB hard drive I have lying around unused. It came with a USB cable that has two connections at one end, which I've been told is needed to fully power the drive. When I hook everything up and plug the drive into my iBook, it loads up...

Previously, I posted regarding my iBook losing its display. I haven't found a solution, but I've thought of more details and I'm hoping somebody can help. I recently used the firmware "hack" at http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html, which by this point seems to be worked out well...

Thanks, I thought it might be my logic board/GPU issue, as seen in www.coreyarnold.org/ibook But I tried the fix he suggested to no avail, and I can see that the GPU is soldered on just fine. So I tried your suggestion, pulling out the RAM, and it worked fine! Fantastic! Oddly, I put...

Recently I posted about my problem with my DC-in board. I have ordered a new one and plan to replace it as soon as it arrives. However, a new problem has popped up, and I'm not sure if it's related: At work/school (grad student) I put my computer to sleep today, with the battery fully...

Thanks! The iFixIt site actually also has a DC-in board replacement guide that I found starting at the guide above. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/iBook-G4-12-Inch/DC-In-Board-Page-1-Battery Sage advice suggesting the screw diagram. Got my part on eBay, though not from falconprince, I...

I am currently having a similar issue with my iBook G4 12" 1.2GHz. The Apple people suggest it's the DC-in board, which I may replace. Does anybody know a good place to get a guide to do so? Do you have to take the whole computer apart to get to the DC-in board? BTW, I bent a connection...

For the price, it looks like a PCI card or a USB enclosure would be best. The drive is salvaged from a windows PC (from work, though I switched to Mac in Feb '05), any thoughts on compatibility issues? There's no mention of compatibility with Mac OS in the product manual or anywhere else I...

I have a somewhat old ATA (pre-SATA, usually known as IDE) hard drive I would like to install in my PowerMac G5 (Dual2.0). Do I need a PCI card? I think I do based on what I've read, since as I recall the PowerMac only has SATA. If so, any suggestions on where to purchase a good PCI card for...

Here's an update. I have not purchased one of the 8GB seagate CFII "photo drives" (really a microdrive), but I did get a Hitachi 6GB microdrive and completed some brain surgery on my mini today. It's pretty simple and should work fine with the 8GB drive, even on your second gen mini. My mini...

I recently start using Safari as my main browser (I was using Firefox or Camino), and I was wondering if there is a way to change the keystroke that moves between tabs. I don't really like, Command-Shift-}, so if there's a way to customize that, I'd prefer it.

Compatible meaning, can I put a 4GB drive from a 1st gen iPod mini in a second gen iPod mini? Assuming the drive itself is ok, will my iPod work if I do this?

Is a 1st gen iPod mini 4gb drive compatible with a 2nd gen iPod mini?

Have you installed the drivers from the Canon website (or possibly a CD that came with the printer)? It sounds like this is the primary problem if OS X can't auto-detect what drivers to use. You can look at Their support page for your printer After that, I'm not too sure. Do you have...

Check the Canon website, there should be a page where you can search for drivers by printer, and if that driver exists, you should be able to find it there. I'm not familiar with Linux, but I'm guessing that the translation between OS X and Linux is different than with Windows, which is...

I switched about a year ago, and I still have an HP LaserJet1000, which does not have drivers for OS X. Is there a way to print to it through a networked Windows computer? I've heard rumors about using a dummy printer to do it, but I haven't found out how to get it done.

To expand on what Satcomer said, you have to go through a few steps, provided your network Admin will allow you to use RDC. First you have to go into the Windows System Properties, the Remote Desktop tab, and allow Remote Connections. This USUALLY enables the port in the Windows firewall. If...

I have been thinking of doing the same thing, since my 6GB drive is acting up... I haven't yet, but I did find this resource (though you've probably already seen it). http://homepage.mac.com/jason.parry/mini8gb.html I have dissected my mini, and it's not too hard to do if you have the right...

My AppleCare has long since expired. I know the cards are pretty expensive, so maybe a new iPod is in order, but I love the mini. Maybe I can get a refurb one from Apple for not too much.

That's what I'm thinking, although I've read posts of similar problems from people who haven't dropped their iPods. I'm looking into finding a replacement drive for less than the cost of a new iPod. Still, if it was damaged, why does everything that reads it think it has the entire 6GB...

Hey all, I'm new to the forums, and I thought I'd see if anybody has any thoughts/advice for my iPod mini situation. Sorry in advance for the long post, I'm trying to be thorough. Here it goes: I was at the airport (Seattle), and as I was getting out my mini, since they ask that people...
