Thanks for the tip!! I had tried that before, but I didn't highlight the Drop Box icon! I feel stupid to miss something that simple! I think I'm still used to the older Systems -- 9.1/8.6 and 7.1. I don't remember needing to highlight the icon .....

I finally created a separate user account for my roommate. Problem: From my roommates account, he can access my Public Folder and Drop Box. From my account, I cannot access his Drop Box from his Public Folder! How can this be? I have looked carefully through the various settings, but...

My roommate hit either the F10 or F11 key, and held the key down, then everything on the desktop disappeared and went to the borders. Pressing any of the F keys did not bring them back. The colored wheel kept rolling, the desktop folders kept opening and closing all by themselves!! (reduing to...

I'd rather leave everything available for my roommate, as he is a PC user only, but since we have only Macintosh computers in our home, and lots of them (!!!), he is having a frustratingly difficult time learning to use our Macs. I also don't want to limit my boys. They only use my iBook when...

How can I require a password before emptying the Trash? My roommate had one of my important documents in the Trash!! Good thing he didn't empty the Trash, like he has a quick habit of doing!!!

Even if I'm connecting an external HD via the slow USB, my old PowerMac 7300/500 (G3 upgrade) will actually be able to read/write more than 137GB? Would a SCSI connection make any difference?

I've been looking at different internal HDs and enclosures for my G4 iBook (OS X 10.3.9), and found these two items: Maxtor MaXLine III 7L300R0 300GB 7200RPM IDE Ultra ATA133, 16MB cache, 5yr warranty for $177.00, at...

I would like to buy an external harddrive for my G4 iBook that will boot with Tiger installed on the external HD. Is that possible? If so, any suggestions which HD to buy? I'd like at least 160GB on the external HD. My internal 60GB HD is nearly full in just one year of use.

I uninstalled a whole bunch of applications, and now I can double-click on the title bar to reduce the window to only the title bar! Pressing the Command key two times still doesn't reduce the window to only the title bar, like it used to. Now I'll begin reinstalling applications one at a...

Thanks for the reminder. For now, I am using Command-M to make the active window disappear. I'll keep playing around, and hopefully get my old settings back .....

How do I stop minimizing? When I double click on the menu bar of a window, the window disappears to the Dock. Also, if I press Command-M, that window disappears to the Dock. How can I stop this annoying feature? -- vjamacaddict, G4 iBook, OS X 10.3.9

How can I record phone conversations directly to my G4 iBook? I bought the Multi-Phone Telephone Recorder device from Radio Shack today, and connected it to my iMic, but any sound is being recorded through the built-in mic on the LCD panel. Is there some way to record phone conversations from...

I just installed USB Overdrive X on my G4 iBook, and the settings are not working. I set the scroll wheel and up/down buttons for faster, but there was no change. I restarted the computer, but still no change. I changed the settings to the fast possible setting, but still no change at all...

I would like to have the features that come with the mouse. Without the software from the CD I don't have the additional features. I really would like to have a mouse with buttons that allow you to go back and forward (browsing), and other cool features, like switching applications. The most...

I'm shopping around for the right mouse, and could sure use some advice/recommendations. I need a mouse for my G4 iBook, and would like to have at least three buttons, with a high quality/accurate scroll wheel. I'd prefer a USB optical mouse, not wireless. I already have a wireless mouse...

Thanks for your suggestion. Another person recommended Dreamhost. Do you know anything about Dreamhost? They are having a special for only $10.00/year. $3.95/year is even a good price! I want to find a webhost that has a good record, and is reliable. I've been using AngelFire since 1997...

I'm looking for an inexpensive (or free?) web host with lots of space for uploading images. Any recommendations? Thanks. -- vjamacaddict, G4 iBook, OS X 10.3.9, Bluetooth, Superdrive

Something happened this morning that mysteriously locked the folder WebPages, and all of the sub-folders. I unlocked the master folder and the 27 folders inside, via Get -Info (which didn't work this morning). There are still hundreds of sub-folders that need to be unlocked. Is there an...

Today I was trying out Freeway and Nvu, and somehow one of the System folders and another folder (and all of the folders within those two major folders) cannot be modified. When I try to drag another file/folder into the restricted folders, a message tells me, "The item .... could not be moved...

I created my first web pages using Visual Page on my PowerMac 7300, and now would like to continue creating web pages on my G4 iBook. I need a simple application for creating web pages, mostly text with images, links, counters, guestbooks, etc. Any suggestions which application would be a...
