    Can't boot from CD!! - My Powerbook G4 17 inch is very, very sick

    That's a really good idea for a last resort solution. But I would just use my warranty before I do that. (I also got the 3 year apple care thing.)

    TILT? What do you mean tilt it in some way? You mean tilt the computer? Like a pinball machine?

    LOL that's the first thing I did, before I even knew there was a problem.

    PISSED OFF AT ITUNES!!! I lost my ratings forever!!! WAHHHH!!!!! :-( :-( :-(

    Oh PLEASE. It's been months and I still haven't had time to re-rate the songs yet because I just didn't have 6 hours to devote to it yet. Writing this post took only 20 minutes at most. So lose the arrogant attitude and put yourself in my shoes. Apple does not document the specifics of...

    Can't boot from CD!! - My Powerbook G4 17 inch is very, very sick

    Of course I tried everything. I just removed the RAM I bought. The CD still won't boot. When I try to force boot the CD (cmd-opt-shift-delete), I just get the flashing question mark folder icon and the computer won't boot. When I let go of the key combo the computer gives up and boots from...

    Can't boot from CD!! - My Powerbook G4 17 inch is very, very sick

    Yes I did add 512 MB of RAM, to get a full 1 GB. But it is premium hyperspeed memory from coast memory... they have great RAM. And everything is fine after installing it... you think the RAM can ruin the cd booting? I'll try fsck, and reset-all, but the 10.2.6 combo.. i already am on 10.2.6!

    Can't boot from CD!! - My Powerbook G4 17 inch is very, very sick

    This all started a few weeks ago... The Finder would randomly crash, and stop responding. All other apps would work fine. But attempting to save would crash any app since the Finder was dead. (Same with File... open, or anything that needs the finder.) It crashed so bad I couldn't even...

    Diskwarrior 3 Thoughts

    That is a TOTAL SCAM!! Why would Alsoft associate the best disk utility software there is with a scam like that, and have their site to be so lame?

    Apple wouldn't refuse to license the finder for security reasons. There must be another reason. The security explanation is probably just a facade.

    Diskwarrior 3 Thoughts

    I finally received my Diskwarrior 3 CD, after waiting for 23 billion years. (Alsoft has no download option, and somehow they can't press enough CDs to meet demand and can't ship the program out on demand. This still baffles me to this day...) My thoughts: It runs on the HD or starts up off...

    Attention Mac Pirates...

    My opinions: 1) It is well known that Adobe supports piracy. Of course, they publicly say that pirating is bad (as everyone should say), but c'mon. Obviously Adobe has made it SO EASY to pirate photoshop so that so MANY MILLIONS of people have it, that it actually increases their Photoshop...

    HUGE "bug" in OS X? Hmmmmm...

    That's the problem right there! I always hated sector 0x000066cc anyway. It's damn unstable and probably rattled up the forwardMethod a bit. They can fix that in a jiffy.

    RamDisk for OS X???

    If that is true, then why would SETI@Home write to the hard drive, if it is remained open? If the app is running, won't it use the RAM instead?

    Pre-determine windows location on the screen

    awhhhhh hold your hand??? Awhhh.... well the first thing to do is get the Objective C bible and enroll in college. Then 4 years later when you can BARELY begin to program a buggy application, try and mess with the dev tools.

    Will you stop sharing as a result of RIAA act?

    I'm not worried about the RIAA! I'm a leech! My shared folder option has been turned off since Napster version 1.0! HAHAH! Same thing with water conservation. Since everyone ELSE is taking 2 minute showers, I can take my daily 2 hour shower and rest easy knowing my sole over-use of water is not...

    HUGE "bug" in OS X? Hmmmmm...

    Wow! Ok, yes. It does crash on mine. I have a powerbook G4 17" on 10.2.6 with 1 GB RAM. Funny thing is... I NEVER KNEW ABOUT CTRL-K and CTRL-Y!!! Of course, command-C (copy) and command-V (paste) is disabled on the screen saver, but apparently there's this other way to copy and paste with...

    RamDisk for OS X???

    Hmmm... well I found "rambunctious" for OS X... I don't see the benefit of the RAM disk.... how can I do a test to visibly notice the benefit?

    RamDisk for OS X???

    You know how in OS 9, you could make a RAM Disk, and run everything in it straight from RAM? And also, how Steve Jobs mentioned on the G5, with 8 GB of RAM, you could load entire 3D worlds into RAM, etc. etc. And you get speeds of 40x faster than the disk! Well..... ahem... how the *$#...

    NOTHING about the new FINDER???????

    Who cares about the brushed metal and the toolbar on the left side. No one answered the big finder questions!!! 1) Is it cocoa now? (Assuming yes) 2) Is it multitasking? (Hoping yes!) Those were pretty much the big questions everyone wanted answered about the finder for like years, and...
