    Wireless Router

    My Belkin is working perfectly after 9 months of use. And the warranty will cover a router that won't work 2 months into the warranty period. Up to 30 days, the reseller will replace it. After that, the manufacturer should replace it. You need to call Belkin back and talk a little more...

    14 month old G4 iBook making strange noises

    You might be able to call Apple and talk to an AppleCare representative and get them to activate your AppleCare - did you buy it direct from Apple or a reseller? Do you still have the packing receipt/receipt? Often a human on the other end of the phone can fix these minor problems, especially...

    3inch Mini Dvd in iBook ??

    No, you can't. You can only put full-size CDs and DVDs into a slot-loading drive. If you have an external drive, you can put the mini DVD in that.

    Use Ibook G4 With Wireless Broadband Card Like Verizon

    No, there's an adapter that lets you connect your cell phone to your USB port on your iBook. There is no adapter to connect a PCMCIA or CARDBUS card to your iBook. This is, I assume, the service you want...

    Canon ImageClass MF8170c Drivers

    Normally, I'd say Gimp-Print (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3), but it appears that that particular printer uses neither PostScript nor PCL for its printer language. There is no Mac driver and apparently will not be. Try VPC...

    Help! DVD Drive compatible?

    I hope you've noticed it's a combo drive, not a DVD burner. That means you can burn and read CDs, but only read DVDs....so there is no burning from iDVD or Toast for DVDs.

    SanDisk Cruzer 256 doesn't show on desktop post...

    You should upgrade your B&W to 9.2.2. It'll be in 2 steps - from 9.1 to 9.2 and then to 9.2.2 (free on support.apple.com). But it sounds like perhaps a USB driver got messed up somehow - do you have anything else USB (other than the other Cruzers) you can test on the ports?

    Original Airport in a B&W PowerMac G3?

    Save your money and time - and buy a wireless PCI card. Motorola makes one that's compatible - WPCI810G - that's what I have in my old B&W music server. To find compatible models, see this article: http://homepage.mac.com/techedgeezine/2005_0217-54g-inyourmac1.htm

    The first router, the one with the PC connected by ethernet, should be set up as a DHCP server. The second router, the wireless router, should be set up as a wireless repeater only - turn OFF DHCP server. Then the first router will assign IP addresses to the second router and the iBook...

    Yes. It has D-Sub (another name for VGA) and DVI-D connectors. It's just a monitor; they're all compatible. A friend has one connected to his Dual 2.0 G5.

    iBook hard drive upgrade

    Cracking the case is the most nerve-racking bit of the whole operation. I just upgraded my 12" iBook G4/1.2 stock 30GB drive to a 60GB, 5400 RPM, 8MB Cache drive. All with the help of the guide from pbfixit.com (and previous experience with lots of PowerBooks). The last 3 pages of the hard drive...

    Have you changed the channel on which the D-Link is broadcasting? I can't remember if the default is 12 or 6, but try something else. You might be getting interference.
