Just use iChat, it does the same thing.

Has there ever been a Powerbook with 2 FireWire 400 ports? If yes, then I find it extremely strange that Apple would drop one. I mean I'd really like the next model to have two, mainly because I'd like to be able to capture DV footage and have a FireWire disk mounted at the same time.

In regard to ElDiabloConCaca's post, I used the combo updater from 10.4.6 -> 10.4.7 on a PowerPC machine. I had a very long wait on the white screen with Apple logo, and then again on the blue screen with the other loading dialog. Once I got into Mac OS X, Safari had a few problems displaying...

Did the combo update, restarted twice, took a while to start up but other than that no problems.

It was very disappointing to see Australia lose to Italy, when Australia clearly played the better overall game. 92 minutes in it was still 0-0 and the game was looking to be heading into a fantastic nail-biting penalty shoot-out, until a terrible call from the referee gave Italy a penalty shot...

If your disk has reported errors, then I'd get straight to formatting. If it continues to act up on a fresh installation, take techie's advice and check your RAM.

To save a lot of headaches, you should first determine what model your Powerbook is: what speed processor it has, etc. Saves you looking for an installation CD if it can't run it ;)

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I don't think Macs can edit NTFS drives. I'd re-format the drive as FAT32 on your Windows computer, then get your Mac to format the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

HateEternal, smart status says 'Verified'. Mikuro, no, I always stick to the 15% free rule, and at the moment I have about 50% of my drive free.

I've been noticing lately that the hard disk in my iMac is becoming increasingly slower, and error prone. I recently had to fix a major error that came up out of nowhere using Disk Utility. The entire system also freezes every time I verify the disk; I can't even move the cursor till it's done...

Does it happen across many programs, or just one in particular?

Open System Preferences, click Accounts, click Login Options then check Enable fast user switching.

"It's based on the Core architecture, not the old architecture of the Xeon." Then why put Xeon in the name? Talk about confusing. Anyway, it's good to see that something is out. Hopefully we see a strong update of Power Macs in the near future.

What program are you printing with? Also, is there an option to stretch the image to fill the whole page?

I recently got my hands on a copy of iPhoto 6 to help out a friend make a basic slideshow of photos for burning onto a DVD. Problem is that I can only find an option that exports the video at a maximum of 640 x 480 in size, with a rather poor codec. Because I'm burning a PAL DVD, I'm looking to...

It might seem like a simple question, but is the volume control in each application turned up?

Mac OS 10.4.6 is the newest version of Mac OS X at the moment. Any mention of 10.4.7 in someone's signature would be referring to those who are using a developer's beta version. It is, however, very close to release, so keep an eye out for it.

Well I know that the dual-layer DVD±RW drive wasn't used because the 15" MBP is thinner than the 17", so much so that a dual layer burner doesn't fit in it. As for the rest, well, Apple are known for their quirky ways of putting lines together. I'm hoping for the next generation of MBP (which I...

Wow, that's strange. They're in sealed cases, surely they can't be classified as dangerous (unless someone takes it apart).
