    red/green blotchy jpeg display

    I was thinking about it last night, and I think the fix was actually posted on Macfixit. But it was so long ago, I'm not sure now. I know I had a discussion here with someone about it. No, upgrading the video card will do nothing - it happened to me with 3 different video cards...

    red/green blotchy jpeg display

    Yep, it's your monitor. Had the same issue with a Hitachi 17" CM615. If I remember correctly, this was a widespread issue and a fix of sorts was posted on the Apple discussion boards. I had to select a generic RGB profile, then run Panther Cache Cleaner and do a deep cleaning, then click...

    OSX Cannot Detect Airport Card?

    The card slot assembly is soldered onto the motherboard. The motherboard was fine. The card slot assembly was not.

    Yes. It's an assembly on the motherboard. Apple had to replace the assembly.

    securing a new dsl wi-fi home network?

    Yes, I have my router set to accept only certain MAC addresses - it's under MAC address filtering. That way only your WiFi enabled computers can access the router at all.

    OSX Cannot Detect Airport Card?

    It's possible the AirPort slot on the motherboard is bad. It happened to a friend while under warranty and Apple replaced the slot.

    Wireless networks... using non-Mac hardware

    Yep, I'll add my "definitely won't" need drivers to the above 2 responses.... I've used a D-Link wired/wireless and am now using an Asanté wired/wireless, both without drivers. The interfaces are web-based and easy to use.

    disk drive on G4 Tower not working/reading

    Ok, we got the CD drive part. Which G4 tower? Sounds like either you need to clean the lens (using a commercial cd drive cleaner) or the laser is dying and you'll have to replace the drive. I'd try cleaning the lens first.

    I had an awful time trying to connect to my Parent's wireless

    On a D-Link wireless router, you must set it to Long Preamble (in the advanced settings) - it is automatically set to Short Preamble, which is incompatible with the Mac.

    Wireless: D-Link vs ZyXEL

    Asanté FR-1104G is a great wireless G/4 port wired NAT router. Supports AppleTalk over wireless, has 64-, 128- and 256-bit WEP, WPA, etc. encryption, plus MAC address filtering, plus a whole host of other features. D-Link is a pain in the butt - takes longer to configure (if you can get it...

    OS X Mail + Comcast = problem

    How are you attaching the file - are you drag 'n dropping or are you clicking Attach File? I just attached a file here that was 8.1 MB according to the Finder; Mail says it's 7.9 MB..... I think "Windows Friendly Attachment" is the only encoding option to change.

    Where do you buy memory?

    I use www.datamem.com and have never had a problem. They have an Apple product page - choose by model.

    Trouble connecting to wireless network

    What utility are you using to generate the key? AirPort uses a different algorithm than everyone else. What router are you using? Some of them have a built-in keygen.

    I have a 3G 10GB iPod and get between 7-8 hrs on every charge. It's a refurb - I've had it for 3 months.

    Updating OS on Old Powerbook 5300

    I've got one, too (the bf's daughter plays with it). It runs 9.1, even. And when I actually used it, it was wireless with an orinoco gold and mozilla 1.2. Worked great....if a little slow.

    Updating OS on Old Powerbook 5300

    I updated my 5300 through SCSI disk mode (the adapters are cheap on eBay); I don't know about just through AppleTalk....

    Radeon Rage

    Last thing is to send it to ATI for repair/replacement. I had a brand new Radeon 7000 that failed 3 months after I bought it - video had thick white vertical stripes, then went completely grey with the stripes. ATI replaced it immediately, no questions asked.
