Hi, I'm looking to upgrade (sort of) from my old 15" to a new 12" PBook for convenience, maybe having a desktop system for power. However, I wondered if there was a noticeable difference between a 1.3GhZ (or the 1.5ghZ 15") G4 processor, and the 1GhZ G4? Cheers, Chris

Hi, Not sure if they still do it, but when I got my TiBook with 10.2 and had to do a clean install, you had to run a separate program to install all the 'additional' apps back on. It may have changed for 10.3 (I know it's not on my 10.3 CDs) On DVD that came with your Powerbook, there...

Hi, Does anyone have any clues as to when (if?) Apple will be releasing a G5 Powerbook. My PB is getting a bit old now, and struggling with the amount of DV work I am throwing at it, but I'm reluctant to upgrade to 1.25 G4 if the G5s are just around the corner!!! Regards, Chris --...

Hi, Can anyone help me with iMovie; I created a project for my coursework and exported it as Quicktime. When I view the movie, there is no sound output. At first I thought this might be iMovie, but I then tried using another video program to output the video file (as Quicktime). Once again...

Hi, I had the same problem with my new iPod a couple of weeks ago. Haven't a clue what it is, but I fixed it by resetting the iPod, which didn't lose any files/music - it just seems to reboot the disk. To reboot the iPod: 1. Flick the hold switch from off-hold to on-hold, then back...

Hi, Recently, the left hinge on my TiBook 15" 1GhZ fractured, and the screen became loose. On close inspection, it seems as if the metal was faulty, as the screen had not been put under any pressure or dropped or anything like that! I rang Apple, who are arranging to have it fixed... then a...

I had a similar problem with not being able to get into OSX, (or OS9 for that matter - my PBook refused to boot!!) Although I could bring up the disk selector using the option key, it wouldn't find the OSX disk. Eventually, I found out that you can change the startup disk from the OSX install...

Hi all, I have a 15" PBook G4 1Ghz with 512MB of memory. Im using panther, and for my course I have to do a lot of video, graphic and web work. Im thinking of upgrading the memory to 1GB, as I know memory upgrades have a good impact on PC hardware - does the same apply to the mac? I.e. am I...

Just thought I'd put an idea forward (and hope that someone from Apple may read it...! :) ) I know there has been a lot of controversy over the brushed metal look in Panther. It's a lot better than I thought it would be, but for such a polished OS as Panther, it looks pretty amateur. On the...

Hi, thanks, I also found the same site about 10 minutes ago and have just finished installing the firmware update. First signs are good - the drive has picked up my DVD-RW disc without any problems! Thanks for your help!

The brands I've used include Panasonic and Packard Be, but I'll try to find another sort. Where can I get the firmware download you suggest?

Hi, I have a 1Ghz PBG4 running OSX 10.2.8, and am having no luck whatsoever with DVD-Rs. I have checked with apple that the drive reads DVD-R (as opposed to DVD+R), but every time I put one of these discs in, it is ejected straight away (after much 'grinding'). Does anybody have any clues...

hi, thanks for letting me know - i'll have a play around with the settings.

Hi, I am not a tester, and only recently switched to Mac. However, I have a couple of questions about the upcoming OS that I would be grateful if anyone could answer. 1. Could anyone tell me if text rendering in Panther has improved over Jaguar? I find the text anti-aliasing in 10.2.x just...
