I've been referring to this as a "clucking" sound... As a bad example for you, my laptop has been clucking once every 3 months or so for more than a year.... So, maybe failure isn't imminent, but of course you shouldn't be as lazy as me. My problem though is that it's kind of hard to be...

Every now and then (once every 3 months or so) my laptop makes a "Cluck cluck" noise, which is then followed by either the computer freezing for 30 seconds or so, or it completely freezes and then has boot problems. Do you recognize this? I picture the noise coming from an arm of the hard...

I think it might be overheating. Instead of it being a hard drive problem. I've been resting the powerbook on a notebook tray thing with rubber feet that it might be slipping off of. I don't know what the clucking sound is then. Overheated chicken. It sounded like something mechanical moving...

Well, holy crapple, apple. I just tried turning it on again and all is fine now. !? How? Anyway, I had better get some backups quickly in case it's going to fail again.

You mean diskwarrior might be able to get something off of it even though disk utilities doesn't show a harddrive? I might just wait to take it to the shop. But it will be so painful to be without it for very long. I bought a hard drive meanwhile... I'm looking at these instructions...

My G4 powerbook made strange clucking noises and froze, so I rebooted and I get the crossed out symbol instead of the apple symbol. More recently I just get a grey background with no symbol at all. Booting from the tiger DVD and holding down 'c', in disk utility I see no hard drive, only the...

Oh, I didn't notice that the ipod is mounted. So, I can put music files on it, but I think I don't have access to them to play on the ipod, is that right? That was what I wanted to do, to put some music on my friend's ipod so she could listen to it. I did also try to see if she can see the...

I have music in my computer and I have my friend here with her ipod. I would like to put my music on her ipod. But, iTunes appears to only give me the option to delete the contents of her ipod and sync it with my iTunes money funnel. I've seen many programs for partially bypassing the ipod...

So, I've fixed the problem. I moved the regular files out of the directory and it now displays in list view. Oddly though, if I put the files back in the directory it still shows...

Oh oops. It's actually just in list view that the folders/fiels don't appear. Icon view and Column views show the files. List view does not. And it's only this one folder, and it has only started happening recently.

Okay, I guess my wording is not very good. The problem is that no files or folders are shown within a certain folder, if I use list or column view, but they are shown if I use icon view. This is still true if I change to list view and close the finder window (or click away to another folder)...

By close the folder, do you mean close the finder window? If I navigate to the folder, select the list view then close the finder window (or navigate to the folder, select the list view and then select a different folder). I still get nothing displayed in list or column view. In icon view the...

Really, no one knows?

If I navigate to one particular folder on my harddisk, using finder, the files and folders show up in icon view, or if I expand the folder from it's parent folder in list view, but the they don't show up if I open the folder directly in column or list view. What'll I do? Oh I should point out...

I wanna write some stuff for a pocket pc, but the SDK requires you to use genuine spyware. Do you know if genuine spyware will run under virtual pc, so I can have an isolated spyware infested virtual pc on my G4 mac in order to write a program for a pocket pc? Or, will a pocket pc SDK work under...

I can tell you that I saw an apple logo on a store, it may even have been an apple store, in San Jose Costa Rica.

Have you experienced problems getting your power adapter to work? I have a G4 with the white plastic adapter with the interchangable plugs. It seems to be the end the plugs into the wall that is having problems, so maybe it's a problem in the interchangable part. It now has to lean a certain...

I bought someone a 40GB ipod a while back, and now I've bought them an iTrip thing. Now I'm worried the iTrip might not support the model of ipod. On the griffentechnology web page, they list the models of ipod by terms that mean nothing to me. For example, they say the iTrip(2) supports 3rd...

Any problems with airport 4.2 update?

Can someone explain conceptually what the issues are here. My linux machine is the gateway, with two NICs in it, one going out to the ISP, and one going to the hub on the LAN. Why could it be that the windows laptop can get out on the internet, but not access other machines on the LAN?
