Sounds like your hard drive is going or gone. I'd keep trying to start the iMac up again. If successful, copy all your data off the hard drive to DVD's using your superdrive. If you can't get it going, try starting it in Target Disk mode (Hold 'T' at startup) then use a FireWire cable to...

You can also use any digital camcorder as a webcam as long as it has an iLink (FireWire) port.

I used to have to reset my wired cable modem every so often too (it was an older one). I don't know if the routing table got too full or if a certain threshold of traffic was reached and it couldn't handle it. All I know is the reset was the only way to fix it. I moved everything to Airport...

Shut off your computer and unplug the Comcast Cable modem. Next, do a hard reset of your airport express (AX). When complete, unplug the AX and wait about a minute. Then, plug in the comcast cable modem and next the AX. Wait for the AX to turn from amber to green. Now, turn on your computer...

Just remove the non-apple RAM first before you buy new RAM. Just keep the RAM it shipped with in the computer and try to start up. If that works, you know the problem.

As for gaming, you should look into shareware games. Most commercial games won't work on the 233 and even a 333MHz is too low. Very few games existed on the Mac platform when that machine was new and all the current games require much faster processors. That being said, I found a lot of...

If you smell the pungent odor of an electrical fire, you should be worried.

I can't answer your second question, but DejaVu is located in your System Preferences window under the "OTHER" category as long as you own Toast Titanium 6.

MacWarehouse is selling a PC video card. Check the OS requirements on the page you quoted. You'll see it isn't for Macintosh computers. Please don't attempt to flash the bios of your PC card, even if you find a way, the probability of success is low.

Another solution would be to get a router. If you had a router, you could plug the printer in to a port and all your other computers into the remaining ports. All Mac's and the printer can then be set to receive a leased IP address from the router and all Mac's could print to this printer...

@PartTime Years ago when I had a true USB Iomega Zip drive, it had a power cord in addition to the USB cord. Obviously, the USB Iomega Zip drives don't get enough power through USB and need an external source. Did your SCSI Zip drive come with a power cord? If not, it was build to...

First of all, devices that suck a lot of power through USB cannot be run off a keyboard USB slot when the keyboard is plugged into the computer's USB port. If you have such a device you must plug it directly into the computer. My suggestion for both of you is to buy a usb hub which can be...

I had a clamshell iBook with a 24X CDROM drive which would play Audio CD's but couldn't read data CD's. Your lens may need to be cleaned, but I'm guessing the drive is bad. Clean the lens and any data CD's you want to test and hope for the best. If that doesn't fix it, you need a replacement...

Try using Safari instead. If you cannot open it, you have a more serious problem.

When it comes to the PCI cards, as long as they fit into the slot, you don't have to worry about voltage problems. The G5's with PCI slots take 3.3v PCI cards only and 5v cards are keyed differently, so they won't fit. The video card will absolutely not work in the Mac. You can put it in if...

Concerning the memory installation issue, I was quoting Apple article number 86414 where it states: "Power Mac G5: Memory Specifications and Requirements Learn the type of memory (RAM) used in Power Mac G5 and Power Mac G5 (June 2004) computers and the installation requirements. Power...

You certainly can use a PC hard drive in or on a Mac as long as it has the same connector. There is no room to add a second internally, but if you are looking to replace the internal hard drive, check this out: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300205 for instructions. The G5...

The RAM stick from your PC needs to be a 184-pin PC3200 (400MHz) DIMM in order for it to work in your 1.8GHz PowerMac. You will also need 2 of these as RAM must be installed in pairs. If the PowerMac already has 512MB of RAM then it is actually two 256MB sticks installed as a pair. Neither...

Go to your home folder and open the Library folder. Hit the letter F on your keyboard, now you should see the Favorites folder. You should be able to make a duplicate and put it on the side bar of your finder window or permanently in your dock or wherever you want to drag it. I put it in the...

While .Mac is fairly priced (IMHO), not everyone wants or needs all of its services. The cost is too high in such as case, thus Apple not only misses out on subscribers by not offering 'a la Carte' services, but it also misses out on their input with such a survey (since they are not members)...
