On my previous machine, a DP450 G4, I had this problem. With my current machine, no problems whatsoever (see attached profile).:D

There is an alternative, outside of your computer. Visit http://www.terapintech.com/. They have available a VCD standalone recorder for a little under $500. You can record to this on a CD-RW from any source, including commercial dvd's. Each disc will hold up to 74 mins of VHS quality. The discs...

Thanks for the quick reply. It worked fine.:cool:

How can I enter my Quicktime Pro key into Quicktime on OSX? Or OS 9.XX for that matter. I just bought a new G4 867 and am in the process of reinstalling all my software.:rolleyes:

Thanks for the information. Guess I don't need to restart anymore to purge the memory.:p

I just downloaded and installed memory usage getter and was checking the memory usage at intervals. It shows that the longer I have the computer on, the greater the memory usage becomes. It is even worse when I am browsing the net and appears that IE 5.xx increases the usage even more than other...

Same thing here. I just installed a 512MB stick from Crucial and it cost me $188. Last year this same size cost about $100. Guess the days of cheap ram are over.:(

Search Version Tracker for Macjanitor. It basically does the same thing that the software uodater/installer does and you can run it from the dock.:cool:

You need to get an ethernet modem. Ask bellsouth if they will exchange the USB modem for an ethernet modem. I have BS Fastaccess and I use an Alcatel ethernet modem (supplied by BS) along with a Linksys router (which I bought) to which I have a PC connected. This gives me the ability to use both...

I just received (Wednesday) my new G4 867 and am please as punch with it. However, while copying a Video CD from theSuperdrive to the external Firewire Recorder using Toast V5.12, I got an error twice (I forget the number) and had to abort the burns. I then used the external drive as the read...

That worked like a charm, Zeus. After a slight problem with Stuffit and my Epson SC900 printer, everything is now working like a charm. This new machine is so quick that I will not miss the DP450 (which I'm giving to one of my sons). Thanks a bunch!

Another question. Now my password does not work. I need to check it to see if it has changed. I used the same password when I was setting up the computer, so it should work. Any idea how I can get to it?

Scratch my question, Zeus. I successfully booted on the new computer and am connected to the net even as I speak. Thanks for the help. It just goes to show how easy it is to use a Mac. The whole thing took me 5 minutes. Again, thanks very much.

Zeus, do I not have to copy my internet settings as well,? Or are they in my user folder. I have also copied the applications from the clone to the Applications folder on the new machine. I am currently accessing the net from the clone.

Thanks, Zeus. I will just copy my user file from the clone to the new computer.

Hi, guys. I just bought a G4 867 mhz and would like to kniw what files I need to copy from my DP450 to the new machine without having to start from scratch in setting up the machine. I have cloned the HD from the DP450 and have all the information on an external Firewire drive from which I can...

Do a search on Version Tracker for Broadband Optimizer. I use it with my DSL modem and it certainly speeds up my downloads.

I had to sell my Epson 1520 as I could not get drivers for it. It had the serial and parallel interfaces and I was using an adapter with my G4. I am of the opinion that Epson is not going to be putting out any drivers for this printer.:(

I just got it and took it for a run, along with Magic Mouse Discus (the labelling software). No problems so far. I have to test the other pieces of the upgrade yet.:cool:

I am toying with the idea of getting an external FW Superdrive to use with my Mac. However, one site I visited said that I would need at least an 800mhz processor for the unit I am considering. Since my mac is a DP450 mhz it appears that I would not be able to use the drive on this machine. Has...
