    installing ram on a powerbook g4 1ghz

    Hey guys, I currently have a Powerbook G4 1ghz and I just bought 2x512 ram to replace my current 512 configuration. However, when I bought this Powerbook, I didn't get an instruction manual as to where, exactly, the ram expansion slot is. I ASSUME it's the small square slot underneath the...

    Mail.app and IMAP

    I use a mailblocks (www.mailblocks.com) IMAP account and wanted it to be in Mail.app. There are two problems though. Whenever I get an attachment and try to save it, Mail says I need to download it first and when it's downloaded, it still doesn't save or allow me to drag it off. Even though it...

    While you guys talk OS, they talk 3D

    I find it hilarious how whenever I look at this board, most Mac users are talking about how slow file transfers are and how things aren't smooth and this and that. Meanwhile, on Windows forums, nobody even mentions the remote possibility that XP is slow. Their only concern is getting the most...

    Three wires inside iBook, underneath LCD

    Whenever I turn on my computer after replacing the LCD, it actually turns on but then quickly goes to sleep for no apparent reason. When I DO get the computer to turn on and display, the trackpad doesn't work. I've narrowed the problem down to three wires underneath the LCD in the computer, I'm...

    Why buy an Apple?

    I've been an iBook owner since November and I have to say that I'm satisfied with what this little machine can do. However, I've recently been in the market for a desktop and bought a PC and I'll explain why: - I wanted to buy a Mac but wanted it to be upgradeable. This forced me to consider...

    FS: PlusOptimizer from Alsoft

    I'm selling my license for PlusOptimizer. I use OS X.2.5 full-time now, without even OS 9 drivers installed so I have no use for this program. Besides, I bought Drive 10. PlusOptimizer is excellent for defragging your hard drive whether you are running OS 9 or OS X. If anything, it is the...

    Does OS 9 support GDI printers?

    I kind of like OS 9 and would like to use it as my main OS, however I can't get my GDI printer working in it through the router the way that I can with OS X. I was wondering if there was a generic GDI driver for OS 9. Anyone know? Andre

    iBook screwdriver, what kind?

    I recently purchased an LCD screen to replace my scratched iBook LCD. It's basically the exact same screen but without scratches. I haven't received the screen yet, but I was trying to open up the screws last night to confirm that I had the right screwdriver. To my sadness, none of the drivers I...

    What LCD parts work on iBook 600?

    I'm looking to replace my iBook LCD. It works fine and all, but there was a scratch on one part that basically ruined my experience. What I am wondering is if any of the LCD's made for other Apple laptops like the Powerbooks or the previous iBooks would work on the iceBook 600. If anyone...

    10.2.4 killing iBook / PowerBook battery

    Looks like Apple screwed up big time and will have a lawsuit on their hands very soon. I am one of the people affected by this and I don't find it to be the least bit funny. Quoted from MacFixit: Short iBook/PowerBook battery life; getting a replacement We continue to be overwhelmed with...

    Safari, any way for it to keep saved window position?

    I hate how Safari sometimes loads up as a fullscreen, sometimes as fullscreen but moved out of the screen borders, sometimes small and 2 inches from the left border of the screen, sometimes in a random position. Is there any way for me to set it up to always start in full screen or always start...

    Hi there, I was wondering where to go to know which version of Office v.X is installed, like 10.1.2 or 10.1.3 bla bla bla. The About doesn't say anything (unless I'm blind) Andre

    Any way to run Gimp natively?

    I have Gimp installed through X11. To run it, I have to go through X11 first, then choose Gimp from the Applications menu. Is there a way to create an icon on the dock that will start Gimp like a normal program (with X11 of course), loading the pre-requisites automatically? Thanks in advance! Andre

    How do you know if Quartz Extreme is enabled?

    I have an iBook 600 with an ATI Radeon 16 MB on it. I figure it's enough to run Quartz Extreme, but I might be wrong. Is there any way if enabling Quartz Extreme if it is possible and if it has already been enabled, can anyone tell me how I am supposed to know? Andre

    Any way to make xterm NOT open when opening X11?

    I like x11's speed and the fact that I can now EASILY install the Gimp. One thing I'm wondering about is whether there is a way to either remove xterm from opening every time I open X11, or run the Gimp directly without having to go to X11. Lemme know! Andre
