My guess would be that some preferences files are still there in either \Library\Preferences or <username>\Library\Preferences. You could also check the \Library\Applications Support folders for any Sims related files. If you find and just move them to the desktop or delete them and try running...

You could try connecting the iBook to your iMac with a firewire cable and starting the iBook in target disk mode by holding the T key down as you power on. You should then be able to install OSX on it by running the installer on the iMac and selecting the iBooks drive as the target for installation.

Did you pack up the screen with the same level of care ? If it is a TFT or LCD screen I would say you have damaged the screen rather than the G5. I have come across the same thing on a couple of powerbooks which was resolved by a new screen.

Just one, I would think and judging by the size it would only be a 2.5" drive as well and a quick google search could not locate a 200GB one so you may well be limited to the 120GB listed on the Apple site. I stand to be corrected though.

Use FFMpeg to rip the DVD to Quicktime format and then iSquint to convert for the iPod. FFmpeg will convert straight to iPod format, but I have got better results doing it this way. Both programs are free and can be found using a google search.

The network connection should be fine. The problem is you need to authenticate with the PC to allow printing through it. Check the security on the printers print queue and make sure that the group Everybody is allowed to print to it and try again.

No, you can turn it off via the terminal using the following command as a single line : sudo mv /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist.disabled Enter your admin password and then reboot and it should be turned off. Thanks to those at...

It depends some are as small a 1MB others exceed 100MB depending on what they are for. A rulle of thumb is security updates tend to be relatively small and Application updates are larger, the last Quicktime update was around 50MB if my memeory serves me correctly. In general software update...

Technically in the Windows world NTFS is more secure as you cannot assign file permissions at the user or group level on a FAT32 partition, so if you are trying to have areas of the file system available exclusively to different users that is the one you would go for. I have not had a chance to...

How are you getting power to the drive. I would doubt the USB bus can provide enough to spin up a large hard drive ? Best way would be to pick up and exteernal firewire enclosure and install the drive in that.

You just convert the video to the correct format and drag it into the video section of iTunes. From there copy it across to your iPod.

Do you connect to the internet via a proxey server, if so that will need to be set in the network preferences before you can get to the outside world.

Try repairing permissions if you haven't already. If it isn't I had a G5 doing this and it was down to a faulty logic board.

I have an HP Colour Laserjet 2550n and 2600n and they both perform well and can both be networked if necessary. They are around the £200 price bracket.

No, you certainly cannot install SQL 2000 on Windows XP, I'm not sure about IIS but I would think not either. I am a little puzzled why given that the products used are SQL 2000 and IIS which are both server based applications and Mac laptop was purchased to run them on ?

The DNS information on OSX is not stored in /etc/resolv.conf like other unix systems. /etc/resolv.conf is a sybollic link to /var/run/resolv.conf. You cxan get this problem if that link is broken. Try deleteing the resolv.conf file you created and then recreate the link.

Very unlikely, as far as I knw even if you use boot camp to install Windows it will only work with XP and to run SQL Server 2000 you need Windows Server 2000 or 2003. I think it is the same for IIS. You might try using Apache for your web server and my SQL which both run under OSX.
