It was just that I read the G5 uses a Serial ATA drive - see http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/stats/powermac_g5_1.6.html whereas the G4 disc is IDE, although it says it's IDE ATA. Is that the same as Serial ATA? All these abbreviations are most confusing. Maybe it has additional...

Hi I'd like to know if the hard disc I put in my G4 (Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) will work in a G5 Power Mac? I'm looking at acquiring a 1.6Ghz model, if it makes any difference. The disc is: a 160GB Samsung SP1654N 7200rpm 8Mb Cache IDE ATA133 Hard Disk Drive. Cheers

Have changed settings so now subscribed by default. Don't remember changing them originally, but who knows.... I tried the suggestions made in this thread, specifically: * Unplug the Unit * Remove the Battery * Push the CUDA (PMU) Switch (count to 5 slow) (I may have pushed it...

Hi My G3 b&w tower seems to have an intermittent problem with booting - every few times I go to boot there is no power. I have tried it with different power cord/socket etc but it seems to make no difference. Any ideas what this could be? Cheers

Thanks for your help - have to say I find the endless Microsoft options generally not obvious to carry out simple procedures!

Actually I, er, might have resolved this. I think I had a style that defined US English instead of UK English, which would have been why it kept 'reverting'. Duh! Just realised.

OK thanks for the tip re: international: have unchecked US. Where/how do I post a specific Word question? Cheers

I have the British flag showing most of the time. Sometimes it switches to the US flag for some reason I don't understand, so I switch it back again. I don't think this is related to selected dictionaries in MS Word: yesterday the British flag was flying high throughout the failed operation...

Hi I'm trying to get Word 2004 11.2 to switch from US English to UK English. I go tools > language and select UK English. Then it keeps reverting to US. It's doing my head in. How can I change it - preferably forever? I'm running 10.4.10. And the Office 2004 folder is at the top level of the...

OK thanks - maybe I'll take a gamble on the cheap bluetooth dongle then.

Sony Ericsson T610 - but I have Tiger not Leopard. Does that make a difference? Am thinking about getting a Nokia 6300 which isn't on the list, but I've read various threads about how to add it to enable it to sync with a mac

Er, can I use any bluetooth usb dongle with my G4 (which only has usb1)? I've seen some advertised for less than 5 uk pounds, and the D-Link ones, which it refers to in the bluetooth help file, for I believe over 20. Or can I somehow connect my T610 via a cable to a usb port to try to sync...

Thanks for the link, although I will need to buy in the UK. Any advice re: my questions please - can I use pretty much any writer? Will it be recognised? NEC? (I think in fact it's a AD-7173 rather than a 7371A btw) Cheers

I want to switch my internal DVD Rom drive in my G4 tower (running Tiger) for a DVD writer. Can I bung any one in? Should it be recognised, or will I need additioinal drivers etc? I may choose a NEC 7371A - any issues with this? In terms of software I have Toast, and may get a more sophisticated...

In the end I paid for the DisplayConfigX utility, which says that "This monitor supports true auto config." I couldn't figure out from the test screen whether it was going to work or not, and the developer didn't reply to me. But I can't seem to get it to install a 1440 x900 option in the...

The demo say "This monitor supports true auto config." and all looks well. But under 'card'/driver name it say "ATIRage128"; on the DisplayConfigX website it say: "NOT SUPPORTED: ATI Rage, Rage Mobility, Rage Pro (drivers lack required features)." So I haven't spent to register and try it...

I bought a Samsung SM940BW 19" widescreen and a DVI cable. All looks lovely - but stretched. Is this normal? I have the monitors pref on 1280 x 1024, which is the max available - which doesn't seem much like the 1440 x 900. The only other options in the Monitors prefs are 1024 x 768 (stretched)...

cheers people.

Hello I want to buy a third party, probably 19" display to use with my powermac G4, to reclaim my desk after too long! But I'm confused as to whether it will drive it. I've been looking at this Xerox display which says it's 1440 x 900. I've also been looking at the 19" Acer AL1916W, and...

Hi After ongoing problems with my G3 which I could never fix - see this thread from some time ago http://www.macosx.com/help/qview.php?questionid=9606 - a friend suggested I should re-install 10.2.8 given that I had originally 'installed it' by Carbon Copy Cloning it from the original...
