    Installing OS 10.3

    10.3 or 10.4? Because the universal 10.3 came on CDs. Where exactly did they get the disc image to burn the CD, and what does your DVD say?

    Drivers...

    Here is a link to the Download Library for the Canon Lide35 driver for Intel Macs. Is this the one you already tried, Brainstormer? Or was that for PPC?

    Ibook G4 keyboard randomly stops working

    I don't think it is an issue with your keyboard. It is an issue with OS X. I have similar recurring problems like that on my old iMac when browsing. The cursor stops responding properly, and I can't type in text boxes. In addition, the driver for my keyboard will cut out at some point every...

    Vista Stinks... Here's Why...

    Fryke, when was the last time you used APE? Because the newest version seems to run a whole lot more efficiently than before-- when I boot up, I have much more free RAM now than previously. Never had a kernel panic from an Unsanity product either, and my system is fairly riddled with 'em. ;)...

    Drivers...

    Brainstormer, have you tried VueScan? It's Intel compatible and seems directed at the Cannon market. Kinda pricey though, but at least you can demo it first.

    flashing Broken File after attempting to install Osx

    Funny but Tiger actually can be installed on that iMac. Perhaps it just needed a firmware update, though it should have shown a dialog box to that effect. I don't know if you can use the OS X disc to do anything at all without the proper firmware, but unsupported Macs do at least allow you to...

    Leopard more customizable?

    Well the way we perceive color is kinda relative anyway. For me, moving the white point out of the blue and into the yellow actually makes my display look more natural, sort of like changing from florescent to incandescent light. Anyway, you can save the new profile without losing any of your...

    Leopard more customizable?

    Huh? I can save the background color to file in TE, no problem.

    Color change with screensaver

    "And yes, it is changing, but not really back and forth, as I have to manually go into the control panel and click on display to get it back to normal. But that's all. I don't even go into the settings and change it back, just clicking on display (in System Preferences) will bring the colors...

    Color change with screensaver

    I think that caribooyj is having a slightly different problem from the one discussed in that forum, Flying Meat, because he can get the display profile back. Though I do think the underlying problem might be related.

    Color change with screensaver

    Uhm, so you mean to say that your Display Profile settings are changing back and forth? Because "Graphite" and "Blue" are Appearance settings, those differences would show up in the screen shot, which actually does look like Graphite to me. Can't fathom why your Display Profiles should be...

    Color change with screensaver

    What are you using Application Enhancer for? I don't see any Unsanity haxies in your System Preferences. BTW, I take it you are a switcher?

    Leopard more customizable?

    If all you want to do is kill the brightness of the background while you are viewing, there are a couple of neat tricks you might try. For one thing, using Display Calibrator Assistant (in Displays Preferences, of course) you can change the white point to a more mellow position. Your old...

    Made the switch to mac and I love it!

    Agreed, the pro keyboard is perfectly styled. Don't think I would be as forgiving though if I had just bought a new Mac to discover that the keyboard was not perfectly reliable-- I make enough of my own typos and don't need a device to do that for me. :o Well apparently that is exactly what...

    Click-Lock?

    One of the new options introduced with the latest driver for my Macally trackball is "click-lock," which allows a mouse button to remain on after it has been depressed. Unfortunately, I am using all available mouse buttons for other slightly more important features. Wondering if there are...

    Made the switch to mac and I love it!

    Oops, I see that the Matias Tactile Pro is being updated with USB 2 but will not be available for sale again until April. Also Kensington's Studioboard Mechanical keyboard is similarly unavailable. FWIW, Macally makes a slim keyboard with mechanical, scissor-action keys. The Icekey gets...

    Made the switch to mac and I love it!

    Yeah, kebosma, like just about all nowadays, the new iMac keyboards are the membrane type. They are much more economical to produce and have a softer feel, but are often less reliable than the old fashion mechanical ones. Sampling display keyboards at various retailers, I found that most had...

    Made the switch to mac and I love it!

    I get repetition of the pp (see what I mean?) key on my iMedia keyboard but not on my Original iMac one. The difference between the two is that the iMedia is a membrane keyboard, and my old iMac keyboard uses springs. I get the feeling that there is a little weakness in the membrane which...

    What is this "You need to restart your computer" message?

    In its eight-odd years, my Original BondiMac never had a kernel panic until updating to 10.4.8. Now, I can easily get a panic when using Whamb to open various web-streams (so I have gone back to iTunes.) Of course, I am running Tiger on an unsupported machine...
