http://macosx.com/forums/switchers-windows-mac-converts/270885-please-help-share-pc-internet-via-ethernet.html I found this link from this forum. There are some comments about the need for a crossover cable. I know new Macs don't care, but older mac might need this to connect properly.

I have done the other way around - connecting Mac to ethernet/internet and wirelessly sharing the internet with a PC. But in this case both have a wireless card. I think you are saying you would use ethernet to connect Mac to PC and the PC is then wireless to you router. It would help if you...

If you are still reading this thread, there are articles on the internet about usb flash drives overheating due to poor manufacturing of the usb drive. So it is not technically impossible. So it could be the usb drives you have melted are at fault. Since you replaced the USB ports with the...

Drive removal is not be too hard, it is acceptable on the Macbook, very model dependent. This link has video step by step instructions for getting mac laptops open. Is one your model? http://www.powerbookmedic.com/mac-repair.php. Also you can try an Apple store with their geniuses. Or Best...

I hope the specialist does the memory upgrade for you. The "story" is that the cover plate over the memory (you remove the battery to find this) and even though I have a good collection of "jewelers" screw drivers, I did not have one that fit well. Once I got this off there are "ejection levers"...

And for your information, Snow Leopard (the current OS for sale) does not work on a g4 machine. Came as a surprise to me. The other poster is correct, it is likely the install disk for one Mac does not have all the information for all other types of Mac. It is not the same as purchasing the...

Tonym911, where are you at now? I too just upgraded at Macbook 1.83 Ghz to Snow Leopard. For some reason my Mail program could not be made to launch. I had to purchase the memory and install before I could upgrade (if you decide to replace the memory I have a tale of caution to share). I...

Previous poster had a suggestion: Replace the hard drive with a known-good hard drive. If that new drive is also not visible when in the PowerBook, then other parts have failed.

Donate it to your local school district. They might still be using this exact device, or they can use for parts. They make computers last an amazingly long time.

Since you have more than one computer sharing the internet I am assuming you have a wireless router or a hard wire router. You need to open the System Preferences and look at the Network, under Network look at TCP/IP tab to find the address. You should have an IP address that is similar to...

It does appear your camcorder records to a mini DVD and iMovie requires a firewire camcorder (not on DC 10 - sorry). So several posts in this threads mention you would need to play the dvd and rip the images using software they mentioned. But the mini dvd does not work in the slot feed drives...

iMovie needs a lot of free space on the disk to run and store files. I think the recommendation is 25GB free at a minimum. Are you anywhere near running out of drive space? I ended up getting an external HD to get more room for iMOVIE.

Same problem on an 12" ibook. DC power board is dead. Apple repaired as the unit was under warranty.

I helped a friend with similar problems. We only were able to get an HP4M + to work (the + includes postscript) using the Jet mode (which is appletalk). Never got IPP or LPD modes to work. He had a regular HP4M (not plus) as well and that never worked. The other thing was his JetDirect card had...

I have heard there is a game that can use the sensor to control a ball rolling. I think it is the electronic equivalent of the game where you maneuver a steel ball through a maze with holes.

I suggest trying the apple.com/support page: http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/internet/ Which tries to take you through all the ins and outs of connecting a mac to the internet.

It is called Wireless Grapher. It seems to be picking up the computer wireless communications, but would show a sudden drop off at the same time I would get very slow internet response. I quickly looked at the links provided above and the iStumbler seems like a better product as it identifies...

Apple has extensive web site help on this issue: http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/internet/ There are many settings that usually work in the default mode, but may have been changed with the 10.4.4 install, or need to be reset to your custom mode.

I had to change the channel of my router to avoid the wireless phone channels to clear up slow and intermittent wireless access. I think a neighbors wireless phone was the culprit. There is a widget for the dashboard that shows wireless activity and I could clearly see the sudden drop off...

Interesting question and I hope someone will answer. My understanding of the industry is that most if not all assembly done in Asia. I have heard that some desktop units have the heat sink assembly put on in the local country to avoid damage to processor during shipment. Otherwise all assembly...
