Hi. I am running a 125GHz 17" flat screen G4 Power PC.( with the round base) It has an Airport Extreme card installed (M8881LL/A) but it doesn't always make a good wireless connection to the Airport Base Station which is only in the next room. Can airport cards go bad? And would I have to...

Hi again. I did check the 'Key Access' and all the websites, etc have the passwords available. But mostly I try not to use one at all.....Mac.com required one as do some others, but if I had had a choice at the time, I would not have put in a password for the Base Station either. I...

Hi sgould. I downloaded and installed Airport Management Utility 1.0 but when it opened, it said I needed to 'update' but when I clicked on 'update' another window said my software was up to date, but I don't have any other 'Management' Utility on my Hard Drive.... Any other suggestions...

Hi. Is there any way to recover the passcode for my AirPort Extreme Base Station v.5.6 ? I would like to update the firmware, but I can't remember what passcode they gave me when I talked to the tech who walked me through the installation. I connect wirelessly to the base station...

Hi. I connect to the internet through a wireless Airport Base Station and Ethernet DSL from Qwest. My Base Station is v. 5.6 (but I don't have the disk), but my AirPort Admin Utility is 4.2 which came preinstalled with the G4 PowerPC. The new AirPort Base Station download (2007-002) won't...

Hi. Just Google for an Apple app. called 'iResize' 2.3.5.app. It is a wonder and will batch resize and rename, etc.......So much easier than the other advise. Regards. Dean M

HI. Since the new version of Firefox came out, it seems to have cured all the problems that we had with it and the iMac G4's. So does anyone think it is still usefull to keep Camino (the Firefox version for Mac)? Thanks. Dean M.

Hi. Download the free 'Tinker Toy' and put it in your Apps. It can change any font almost anywhere, System', Labels, Apps. Mail, Popups, etc. And it does a bunch of other things to that I don't really mess with.......Dean M

Hi Mikuro. I don't have an external firewall, unless it is in the Qwest router/modem. I have just checked the installed firewall Sharing/Firewall/Advanced and all three boxes are checked; 'Block UDP Traffic' 'Enable Firewall logging' and ''Enable Stealth Mode' ( scored a 100% on that)...

Hi. I am on high speed DHCP and I know the address, but I haven't checked to see if it is specific to my machine. I'm pretty sure it is random though. My router/modem is supplied by Qwest as they provide the DSL, but my Internet Provider is Earthlink.net. I don't remember hearing or reading...

Hi. I ran a website scan http://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2 of my system for internet vunerability. Every thing was fine except they said my machine returned a 'ping' request and suggested turning off that ability in the firewall. Can you access the built-in firewall in Mac OSX and do that...

This is probably just a coincidence, but since I downloaded the last OSX software critical update, the fan on my 1.25 G4 17" flat screen seems to run a lot louder and longer than before.....and I thought I saw a thread about this a few weeks ago.......Any thoughts? Thanks. Dean M

Hi. In Windows OS you can add data or what ever to a 4.7GB DVD-R disc if you don't finalize the session. So later you can add anything else you want behind the first data until the disc is full......... I can't find a way to make my iMac G4 to not close a session. Once the disc is...

Hi. Is there a way to change a bunch of photos in the iPhoto Library to an Email or Web page size all at once ? Or is there a widget or small downloadable (free) that could do this? Thanks. Dean M.

Hello. I'd like to know if I pay Apple's going fee, (I think $29.99) to download QuickTime 7 PRO if it will allow me to watch 'streaming video' without any 'buffering'. I have a very good DSL internet connection to Earthlink and I have an iMac G4 with 80GB-CPU and 512MB of memory. So I...

Hi. I have both MacJanitor and ONYX installed on my iMac G4 running MacOS 10.4.9. I use one or both maybe once a month if I think of it. MacJanitor only does one thing, but does it well, where as ONYX cleans up a lot of things, some of which I'm not sure about and don't know if...
