    AirPort Base - Can I block access to Internet for one Mac?

    Ok, you have a Airport Extreme that is connected to a Broadband Modem. You have 3 Macs with Airport and you want to restrict one of these Macs access to the Internet, but not the internal network. The only solution that I can suggest is that you do this: 1. Create a new user account on the...

    Panther Builds 7B80 and 7B81

    I have MacOS X.3 7B80 installed and I can't see any new features. It seems that 7B80 is more of a bug fixer more than anything. The Desktop Printer is more than a Alias to the Print Centre than a actual Desktop Printer, but it's nice to have the feature. I wonder how many more features...

    Airport + Rendezvous not working right

    7b68

    Dear Fryke, Sorry if I caused offence; that was not my intention. I can see what you are getting at, but the settings I have now, were exactly the same as the ones I used in X.2. Nothing has change. The size of the icons are 32x32 with 10pt text size. Try it on your system, does it effect...

    7b68

    I think that you have misunderstood what I was trying to say. I meant any icons in general. Please see the attached screenshot. As you can see, the icons on the left are as far left as they go. They can't go any further with the "Snap To Grid" option turned On. I hope that this gets fixed...

    7b68

    Yes, I have just upgrade to 7B68 from 7B53 and there is a significant system performance decrease. Don't know why and I don't know how? For example, Flash MX use to load in about 3 seconds. Now, it take about 6 -10 secs. I have notice that MS Entourage is a lot faster and better performance...

    No One Lives Forever

    Yeah, I have it and I've played it. No One Lives Forever is quite a original FPS. Think Austin Powers and that pretty much sums it up. You play a British Secret Agent, a women (makes a change), but the formula is more all less the same, shoot everything that moves. But, the physics in this game...

    DVD Burning Tips

    To be really honest I don't know :S When I burn DVD video's, I use DVD Studio Pro. I too sometimes suffer for what you talk about. My movies play in DVD players, my Mac and other Macs, but get this, it don't play on a PC. You have to insert the DVD two to three times in to the machine before...

    Cinema Display and TiBook?

    Dear rfm, Just want to point, that you should of mention what model of PowerBook you have, as this might help. It sounds to me that you don't have enough VRAM to drive both the internal display and the Cinema display. So what you need to do is a method called "closed lid". This is where...

    12" Powerbook hidden RAM

    The 128MB RAM board is indeed nonchangable. But the 1GB board for the PowerBook 12" was released last week, making it possible to go over the 1GB limit! Of course these boards are very very expensive. When I checked, they were £800 (about US$1000) for one board. You might want to wait 6...

    DVD Burning Tips

    I recommend that you buy Roxio Toast for all your DVD burning needs, but the built in capabilities are OK. - Is it necessary to disable "sleep mode" when I'm burning the DVD? // Nope. Even on "Battery" energy settings, the DVD still burns. All that happens is that the displays turns itself...

    Always boots in monochrome

    Dear Dave, Does your monitor look something like the screenshot attachment? (see below) If it does, it seems that the "monochrome" feature on your PowerBook has been switched on without you knowing, or it has happened somehow? In either case, it's easy to get your colour back. Either...
