Yes it is.

You could also both get iVisit to video conference.

Why are you installing a driver for DSL in the first place? All you need to do is connect the modem to your iBook's ethernet port. Then on the iBook show the Built-in Ethernet screen under the Network System Preference pane and choose the PPPoE tab. Check the box "Connect using PPPoE" then...

Are you saying you removed the CR-176-M internal optical drive and installed the CRX810E? If so, it probably isn't the drive unless both are damaged or both of their lenses are dirty. Having said that, try what I've written below. If you have tried several CLEAN cd's in the drive and they...

You can do both as long as the hard drive in your computer is readable. Hold T on startup of your mac with the bad drive and you will see the FireWire symbol on the screen. It is now waiting for you to connect via FireWire to another Mac. Another option is to startup off a bootable CD and...

Apple recognizes a problem with G5's where the power supply gives out prematurely. They should replace the power supply if it turns out to be the PS which is the problem. I'd call AppleCare and describe the problem or lug it into a Mac repair shop (my personal last resort) in order to get the...

Unlike Windows, applications in MacOS X do not have a component which binds itself to the actual operating system. The downside, is that there is no list of applications installed. The up sides are, the OS will never slow down or become corrupt due to installation and uninstallation of...

Aren't there Bluetooth USB dongles out there? I thought Belkin made one. This should enable Bluetooth on any machine with USB. Check out Belkin's site. The only thing is, it isn't an Apple Computer solution.

If some of your computers are using Airport Extreme cards and some are using the original Airport cards, you are limiting your network to a theoretical maximum of 10 megabits/sec transfer rate. You could speed up the network by taking the machines with the original Airport cards off the...

I don't have a suggestion for you on how to fix the current drive, but if you decide to replace the hard drive with a new one, you could then hook the second drive up via firewire or as a 2nd drive in the system and still attempt to get your information off the drive. Just don't overwrite the...

Are both linksys routers set to give out IP addresses? They need to be doing DHCP.

Are you sure the burn failed? Don't go by the message you see if you are using iDVD. It frequently reports an error, but the DVD was burned successfully. Put one of the DVD's in a DVD player and see if it plays. Try all 5 in fact.

Which card are you using in the Powerbook and iBook? If you are using the older Airport card vice the Airport Extreme card, then one possibility is that the Linksys network is set to only allow 802.11g enabled machines on the network. The older Airport card is 802.11b, not g so it won't be...

In case you didn't know this, WireTap 1.0 (the free version) which Ambrosia Software no longer supports or even shows on their website, can be made functional in OSX 10.4 Tiger. By default it doesn't work, but simply downloading the WireTap Pro 1.1.1 demo has the secondary function of enabling...

Just because it quits unexpectedly, doesn't mean the burn failed. Have you tried the DVD in a DVD player to see if your movie is there? I have this happen more often than not when I use iMovie and 80% of the time the movie is fine. All I can tell you is try again if your movie doesn't...

They have special CDROM's which have a puff glued on to it. As the CD rotates, the puff buffs the lens to clean it. Of course, cleaning an internal drive such as this is probably a last and desperate resort. The drive is probably just bad.

About all you can do now is clean the lens and make sure the CD's you are testing with are clean then hope for the best. Once you do this, try booting from a bootable CD. If it won't work, it's time for a new optical drive.

I'm willing to bet the NVidia FX 5200 for Mac doesn't support the fog rendering in Call of Duty. It's probably too old of a card. Turning it off in the console should do the trick for you.

I'm not sure this is your specific issue, because I don't know the population density where you live, but cable isn't always faster than DSL for example. DSL is a direct connection between you and the phone company so there is no competition for bandwidth (unless you have more than 1 computer...

The c var r_nv_fog_ dist=1 is a variable you can set via the console menu. I'm guessing you aren't setting this yourself and the game is attempting to do so and it causes a problem. I'm guessing your video card is trying to enable rendering the fog visuals in the game and it is having a...
