Thanks for the info. As it turns out, I can't use Bluetooth keyboards and mice anyway (at least not Apple's BT keyboards and mice), because they are not supported on Windows, and I'm doing a dual-boot thing with the Mac Pro. So, I swapped the BT keyboard with the wired USB keyboard connected to...

I just got a new Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it will not pair with my iBook. When I use the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, it sees the keyboard, and then asks me to type the passcode. I type it, hit the Return key, and it just sits there forever. I didn't have an issue pairing the keyboard with my...

I'm looking for suggestions for a Bluetooth laser mouse with tilt wheel. I use SteerMouse as my mouse driver, and the tilt wheel is very important. My Mac Pro will have Bluetooth, so I wanted the mouse to be Bluetooth as well. I prefer a scroll wheel, as opposed to Apple's scroll ball on...

I'm not sure if you want to pay a little money here, or if this will even work, but there may be a solution where you can get that CD drive in your PC working on both your Mac and PC by turning it into an external CD drive. You can buy a cheap enclosure for that purpose, and it will turn the CD...

Has it disconnected on it's own yet and disappeared from the Desktop? I've had this happen before, and sometimes the drives don't go away for few minutes.

OK. Thanks for the replies. I will check daily for a few days to be sure. I normally wouldn't panic so much when it comes to hardware failing...it happens...I have clones of the drive and could be up and running again in seconds on a backup, it's just that...replacing a hard drive in an iBook is...

Ran Disk Utility's repair disk tool... No errors found this time. "No repairs were necessary" was the output. Again, I'll ask my earlier questions again...and thanks for your help, whomever replies. So, should this mean that things are OK? Should I still worry, even if Disk Utility...

fsck seems to have fixed the issue, I think. I will run Disk Utilities repair again from the install DVD to make sure nothing fails in a few minutes. Here is what the fsck output looked like. ---------------------------------------- Checking HFS+ volume. Checking Extents Overflow file...

By the way, I knew the first response would be to get Disk Warrior. :) I've been wanting it for some time now, but, like many things in life, other things (other app purchases) pop up and I wind up putting it off. I'm getting it once I get my Mac Pro, regardless of what happens with my disk...

Is what I am seeing typical of a (physically) failing hard disk? I ask because, rather than purchase an $80 piece of software to tell me this, and repair a disk that is going to fail (altogether) later anyway, wouldn't I be better off putting that money toward a new hard drive which will...

I decided to try to verify my startup volume today via Disk Utility. It failed, stating that there was an error. I decided to boot from my Mac OS X Tiger installation DVD and repair the volume from there. It attempts this three times in a row, and reports an error. Here is the information below...

Or Maxtor... I've settled on the MaXLine Pro 500 as the drive I'm going to get. See this thread: http://forums.macnn.com/65/power-mac-and-mac-pro/315195/best-hard-drives-for-mac/

Can anyone suggest a nice keyboard that will work with both Mac and Windows, which has both the Command (Mac) and Windows (Windows) keys? What I'd really like is something where the layout of the keys is like that of the Apple keyboard, but where the Command key will double as the Windows key...

I am planning on getting a Mac Pro in the coming weeks. I am looking at the drive below, but am hearing that it's a little loud. Other than that, all reports seem to be that it's a great purchase. So, would you go with this Seagate drive, or a Western Digital model instead...

Done. Thanks.

Hopefully, we can expect an update that will correct this, and I hope we don't have to wait until 10.4.9, because I'm sure that's at least months away.

Just found this. It's a known bug being worked on by Apple. It started happening to several users after the 10.4.8 upgrade. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=671199

Tested it on another user account that I have (which I never use unless I am looking to test something like this) - Same issue. 12" screen - Yes.

The combo updates are larger than the regular updates that you will see on Software Update, and they can only be downloaded from Apple's Web site. If you run into problems that you can't seem to correct/repair, sometimes the combo update will correct them for you, if they are OS-related. I've...
