I only use the onboard trackpad in an emergency, any USB three button mouse works just fine. I bought a SONY and a Saitek ($4 and $8), its small and transportable and if you are displaying anything to anyone else on the laptop, as a lot of us do, then forget the little trackpad. Steve Jobs...

If I hit F10 I get the NO ENTRY sign, i.e. a circle with a line through it.

Did you do the MacOSX install and have you run MacOSX before on that laptop? Because it looks like a dodgy install to me. Do you happen to know what version of MacOSX was installed, i.e. 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, or Jaguar or Panther. etc.

I use the same process as HMUR to put my iTunes on its own disk, I have a link or an Alians in ./Music/iTunes which point to the disk named iTunes.

Tinker with Mandrake Linux. Its well packaged, fun to install, and is somewhat upto date with Intel version. There are SPARC versions and so forth also, this notion alone might make it an positive exercise to have back to back Intel/PPC etc and see if they are indeed the same. I had a wee...

What about taking a look at the PRINT dialog box and looking at the Advanced Settings for that document, turning off color or rather using black ink is an option. Amendment: Sorry the person above has said it already.

Old G3s are not what problem is here since its an iBook. But the point is well made.

I think you'll find I said that already in some detail.

The point being?

Panther runs fine on G3s, I have it on at least three even down to an iMac 233, no worries.

Ok here we go, all the best. The easiest way to find out about disks and partitioning on MacOSX 1. Launch "Disk Utility" (its in Applications -> Utilities) On the left "Disk Utility" will find all disks attached to the system and list them "Disk Utility" will also show the...

NFS is not USER but SYSTEM Authenticated don't see how you can throttle it?, I think its only AFP thats throttled to 10 USERS. anyway here is a link. http://deskbox.gmu.edu/lpp/C957690322/E781597230/

Thanks for that link "enalder", I agree junk VPC and avoid performance, XP on you Mac and so forth.

I can't install to a SCSI disk, no problems to ATA. I get the same problem if I try to install on a third party 36GB Ultra SCSI III (which works great if not used as a system disk) it fails with error and is always unable to build MacOSX on it.

Went through ths myself some weeks ago, I tried MS Word, OpenOffice, AppleWorks, etc, nothing would work. What I had to do was to get the originator to re-send the files as an RTF (Rich Text Format) file from their MS Works. Alternativley take look at this link...

I've found that Final Cut Pro, Soudtrack, iMovie and so forth, require exact same paths to data, media files. Which means you can clone these applications to new machines, so long as disk/directory/.... structure is maintained they will work (fingers crossed) However if you copy the apps or...

Hi Decado Thanks for the reply, yes I had done that. I also did a test using Amadeus and as you change from Internal Mic to Line In it goes dead. Silly question but does the Line In Mic need to be an Analog or Digital Microphone? If there is such a thing as a digtal Mic.

Hadn't noticed this as I've been using the book during the day, but the keyboard no longer lights up. I've set the Keyboard to light in low light conditions, but to no effect. Anybody else have this? If you fixed it what did you do? Thanks

Virtual PC? Yes because Macs can do it. But no because its a MicroSoft OS and like draggin Joe Foreman around by your underwear . . . . . its a little on the slow side and very irritating. By a 2nd hand PC, bung MS on it and plug it into your network . . . . for whatever reason. Can't...

None of my microphones work, I have a headset with earphones (which work) and a Mic. The two phone jacks are the same. I thought this maybe the same problem as the G4 Quicksilver where the phone jacks is twice as long, NOT. Anybody got any ideas, I did look at some specs opn the web and...
