I've never had sleep mode on (ByerlyRips - do you mean the settings in the Energy Preference pane?). I never have my system set to go into Sleep mode as I don't often run off the battery on my PowerBook. I'm guessing that there are many Mac users out there who own a Sony DCR-TRV900 camcorder...

I too am expriencing problems with a camcorder in OSX. I'm using a Sony DCR-TRV900E (PAL) camcorder, connecting it via Firewire cable to my PowerBook G3 Pismo. In OS9 both iMovie and FCP recognise the camcorder and capture and write to the camera perfectly. But in OSX iMovie does not...

I've always stuck to Outlook Express in Mac OS 8 through to 9 - never did mind for shopping around much in that area - and transferred across to Entourage when I upgraded to Office v.X at the start of the year. I wasn't going to upgrade to OSX, but when I saw Entourage working, it was then that...

DON'T THROW AWAY THAT LEGACY PRINTER JUST YET... Did you upgrade to OS X and find out that Epson weren't going to support your legacy printer with the new OS? Think you were going to have to fork out more money on a new printer? That's exactly the bind I found myself. And I've been searching...

Yep, SR1 installed, as per my post. 384 MB Ram. 2.5 GB free hard drive space on 1st partition - 1.5 GB free space on 2nd partition. Used System Optimiser X 3.1.1 to do the prebindings thing. Ran it before and after I uninstalled/installed Office v.X. Have defragged and optimised my...

OFFICE vX PROBLEM (posted again as it will be lost in the other thread) I have noticed a problem with Office vX (Service Release 1 installed). It began 2 days before I upgraded to Jaguar, but still persists even after the upgrade. For some reason, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage all...

I too upgraded onto my PowerBook Pismo and have had no problems whatsoever with the OS as such. Startup times are around 25 seconds faster - um, let me replhrase that. The Desktop comes up 25 seconds faster but there is an aweful lot of hard drive activity for around 45 seconds so I just leave...

Does anyone know if you can expand the video capabilities of a PowerBook G3 (Pismo/Firewire)? I would assume that you would have to do it by way of the PC-card port. My PB has the standard AGP ATI Rage Mobility with 8MB of VRAM and I would like to expand my video to 32MB to take advantage of...

Thanks JeffCGD :) I've never used Omniweb and am a bit of a loungechair user - I don't like moving to alternative software packages. I see that Omniweb comes with a $30 shareware pricetag attached - OUCH - that's NZ$75 over here! There's no way I would pay for a browser if that's what they're...

I've updated with the Service Release 1 updater and everything is running fine. Does it pay to update pre-bindings when you do updates like this? It's a pity the MSN Messenger doesn't have telephone or web cam video conferencing/internet phone support, as does the Windoze version I think...

I'm trying to log-on to my online banking account with IE 5.1.4 using OS X 10.1.4. Everytime I do this I get a blank browser screen and a message on the bottom of the browser window that reads "Start: applet not initiated". I tried the same with Netscape 6.2.3 and the same occurred. I've...

Ed, I didn't have the fan hood, but I did have the wide version of the imagewriter DM printer, AND a Summagraphics (spelling?) digitised graphics tablet that I must admit, apart from the pen being lassoed by a cable to the tablet, is still pretty modern looking after all of these (14) years...

I'm currently running a PowerBook G3 Pismo (AGP 8MB VRAM) hooked up to a 21inch monitor @ 1600x1200 (millions of colours - that's how we spell "color" in my neck of the woods). I don't have the PB screen going (startup with lid closed). Will Jaguar mean better, the same, or worse screen...

Gengiscohen, it's a dog mate. YUCK!

Well, my name is Zeal and it's been 3 months since I last feed one into my EX. Kinda hard talking about it because the EX and I have been together for a couple of years and she's always been pretty reliable. Well, until I fed her some cheap stuff, and she got all clogged up - wouldn't speak to...

Excellent everyone, it worked! And thank you very much for your assistance. I learn a whole lot more everyday. Zeal :D

Just tried dragging them to the Trash ande got the following message (not verbatim) "The item "Xmen deleted" cannot be moved to the Trash because it cannot be deleted". Any ideas? Zeal :confused: :confused:

Gee, that was a very quick reply dricci. I did try to drag them to the Trash yesterday and it wouldn't work. I am the sole Admin on my computer so I'm sure I have access privileges. I'll try it again now though to see if it works...

Can't seem to delete 2 unwanted Users. I deleted them via the Users panel, but all that that has appeared to do is change the name of the User's folder by putting "Deleted" after the Username (i.e. "Xmen" has now become "Xmen Deleted"). Regards Zeal :confused:

Well, looks like I'm on my own with this one. Thought someone might be able to give me some advice, help problem solve this problem. But since you're reading this, I've noticed one more thing: if OS X fails to start up and I then restart and press the Option key, I notice on the screen where...
