    USB Headphone / Mic +Skype

    I am quite happy with my Plantronics DSP-400 Digitally-Enhanced USB Foldable Stereo Headset. Works perfectly for VoIP on my Mac.

    IceKey Not NiceKey

    Think I found the solution: In Library/Preferences there is file com.apple.keyboardtype.plist It read Crashed, so I deleted it and upon restart the Volume and Eject keys now seem work without fail. Interestingly, the new .plist reads Date Modified as 01/31/07, rather than the date...

    10.4.9 in Software Update

    Hmm, does that eject thingy apply to both USB and MacBook keyboards? 'Cause on my system F12 is the default Eject. It has always had a short delay, which is great, because that way the same key can be programed for an addition function, such as StartScreensaver. Haven't installed it yet...

    Time zone & menu bar clock problems

    Have you closed the lock after making the changes? (Not that OS X seems to respect closed locks...)

    Time zone & menu bar clock problems

    Is there a closed lock in the lower left corner of the Date & Time preference pane?

    Shutdown Day 2007 - 24 March

    Kinda reminds me of Buy Nothing Day, and as likely fated to be more honored in the breach than the observance.

    G4 won't boot!Stalls @ gray apple screen

    Make sure you have selected OS X as your Startup Disk from System Preferences. Once you are sure you don't need anything from Previous System, by all means go and trash it.

    Dunno if this will address your problem, but in System Preferences/International/Formats you can select your Region.

    If you have been doing all that "matience" it is no wonder you are having problems. Read this.

    Anyone going to IKEA?

    Scott, have you called them? Because not all items available for shipping are necessarily listed online.

    ModBook!

    I think there would be a huge market if the device were to feature Multi-Touch, like the iPhone. But as the ModBook now stands, it is kinda disappointing. Be interesting to see if it could be modified through either firmware or software to support MT, though. Otherwise, I'd have to agree with...

    Failing to read OSX Tiger CD

    Maybe if your brother could burn the X11 package to disc you could install it from there-- wouldn't have to boot up from your drive for that. Still, don't expect X11 to actually work until you upgrade your RAM. 128 MB is just not enough to accomplish anything in Tiger! Don't think that...

    Failing to read OSX Tiger CD

    Well with only 128 MB RAM I would not expect X11 to load. Wait until you get your new chips, you shouldn't have any problems then.

    Failing to read OSX Tiger CD

    Ashleigh, if it turns out you really do need a new optical drive to boot your Mac, MCE offers one for $59. Dunno whether they ship to the UK, but I would bet they do. Anyway you can ask them if so and how long it would take, they have pretty decent customer service. Their American dealers do...

    Failing to read OSX Tiger CD

    Guess a good way to check would be to try the disk in someone else's Mac. If it's bad, Apple should exchange it.

    Failing to read OSX Tiger CD

    Try de-selecting the Drive Type, just enter your Mac model at xlr8. There are over a hundred reviews. Or just enter your optical drive model. BTW, have you examined the disc for scratches/figerprints?

    Failing to read OSX Tiger CD

    Think you may need a lot more RAM to run Tiger than what you say you have. Also, are you sure your new drive is bootable on a Mac? For more information, a good place to look is xlr8yourmac.com.

    Adding FireFox to Safari's Debug Menu

    I think you have to choose Mozilla from the Debug menu for Firefox. BTW, this is the wrong forum for posting questions, the mods will probably move your thread to the one for Mac OS X System, but welcome.

    Safari 1.3.2 - PDF files

    From System Preferences/QuickTime/Advanced, click on MIME Settings, select Images - Still image files, and de-select PDF Image. There might also be a setting under Preferences in Reader to make it the default, I forget. You might also want to check out the Schubert PDF Browser Plugin, a little...

    audio volume slider keeps resetting

    Is it the Input or Output volume with which you are having trouble? Because the Input level will always self-adjust if you have a built-in microphone, so it seems.
