Hi! I need help. My epson cx4600 no longer prints. It goes through the motion of printing and does not return any error messages. But nothing appears on the page. Did the following: 1. replace cartridges 2. did epson utility unclog and test (no marks at all in any color) 3. reinstalled...

Thanks. This works. But I still have one more file that refuses to die. QuickSilver.old 1 Tried: Secure Delete, option delete, fixed permissions, made sure it was unlock, made sure permission set to my account or to system. No go. Any ideas? Thanks.

Can some kind soul tell me: 1. What is BootX? 2. It is in my trash and is locked. I can't unlock and delete it. Any tips on how I can? Many thanks.

I am trying to learn Unix command line and decided to try experimenting with the cal and calendar commands. Question: I want to print a calendar that lists the days for 2006 by weeks instead of month (i.e. each line would be a week). Preferably each week would start with the week number (which I...

Bob: Can you tell me how I can monitor before and after changes? What software do you use to monitor broadband speed and are there particular sites you visit? Thanks for the info from MacFixit.

Has anyone tried this? Any bugs? Any improvements? I am particularly interested if anyone has tried it with Comcast in N. California. Here is the description from the apple site. About Broadband Tuner The Broadband Tuner allows you to take full advantage of very high speed Internet...

Regarding the previous post, is anyone else getting the "minor errors" / can't repair in Disk Utility? I've read the MacFixit posts on permission problems but it is unclear to me if we should ignore ALL Disk Utility errors such as "minor errors" Also, is anyone suddenly getting fsck and...

I am a cell phone virgin or neophyte. I am trying to find a cheap no=thrills cell phone for Search and Rescue work that does the following: 1. text messaging 2. works with USB iSync Can someone recommend a boring cheap but reliable phone? Can only Motorolla's sync using USB (as reported...

Yes Bob I did check the two folders carefully. The CaliforniaCoastalCam Dashboard Widget does not appear in either folder but does appear in Activity Monitor. Could it be set as "invisible"? Weird problem. (I did manage to delete the plist for RadioRabbit but I think it is just a CPU hog.)...

When I open Activity Monitor I find that two processes gobble a lot of the CPU: CaliforniaCoastalCam (a widget) and RadioRabbit (another widget) I tried to delete the first but no matter what I type in the search field I can't find it! It is not in any of the widget folders. It is...

I've decided to wait for the intel laptops before replacing my aging TiBook 400 mhz with 768 RAM and 40 GB hard drive. I am interested in either 1. Maxing out the memory 2. Buying a faster hard disk. Would someone confirm that I can't put more than 1 GB of RAM in a TiBook 400? And...

I have a dying TiBook 400 Mhz with about 700 MB RAM. I would like to buy used/refurb/new PB that is approximately 3x faster. 1. Should I just multiply 400 x 3 and buy something 1.2 GHz or faster? 2. Is there a site that displays realworld benchmarks for all Macs since 1999? Thanks for...

Does anyone use Thawte digital signature? Is there a better alternative I should investigate? Are there issues I should take into account?

I should add that there seems to be power going through my FireWire cable as the iPod seems to recharge.

Thanks for your responses. Tried the ComOpt o f at bootup and it did result in any firewire stuff appearing. Bobw Tried System Profiler and it seemed to indicate that Firewire was alive. (I got "400 mps " instead of no information). I then tried to reset the PMU. On my old TiBook I did this...

Since resetting the pram I can no longer mount firewire devices (CD burner, HD, iPod). AppleJack reports: FireWire (OH(I) Apple ID 18 built-in: no valid self IDS for more than 2 minutes after bus reset. Tried different cables and different devices and no luck. Tried Onx and resetting...

I am thinking of buying a Dell 20 inch monitor for my first generation TiBook g4 400 mhz. But I think my PB is underpowered to drive it. How does one figure out or estimate how well a PB (or any computer) can drive an external monitor? Refresh rate, pixels, etc? Thanks for any tips.

With the iTunes 4.9 we now have the option of ripping audiobooks and saving them in a podcast format that is "optimized for voice". Has anyone tried this for ripping audiobooks from CD and using this format rather than the default 128 format? What codec and sample do you use for your audiobooks...

Sorry for the technical query in the Cafe but could not find right forum for this. My Search & Rescue team wants to use Google Maps with a GPS/UTM coordinate overlay transperancy. I did a Googe search for Google Maps API GPS and did not find anything. Can someone point me in the right...

Can anyone recommend a good GPS device (under $300) that works well with the Mac? P.S. I've search for a previous query like this but could not find one.
