    laptop CPU upgrade - lets talk

    Okay, I have a clamshell iBook 366 Mhz. Now before I hear the naysayers, let me start by saying that I am well aware the CPU is soldered to the board. I've taken these units apart many times and I know what is inside. I really like the clamshell design, but I'd sure like it if it were a bit...

    How do you format or write to a DVD-RAM?

    I've recently switched to Mac from Windows. I use a lot of DVD-RAM for storage. I held my breath as I inserted a DVD-RAM into my new aluminum iMac (running Leopard) and saw that it mounted the disc and I could read it. But my heart sank when I realized I couldn't write to it, or even...

    12" Powerbook, bright spot on bottom of screen.

    I just bought a 12" powerbook from craigslist. The guy I bought it from powered it up outside in the sunlight so I didn't notice until I drove an hour home and booted it up. The bottom of the screen towards the very center is extremely bright compared to the rest of the screen. I discovered...

    How can I "Pre-install" software?

    I buy clamshell iBooks in bulk and typically resell them on ebay, craigslist, the like. One of the things I always do is upgrade the harddrive and load an operating system (usually 10.3) but I like to leave the operating system in a "fresh" state so that when they turn it on for the first time...

    Help, how to share printer with windows machine?

    Okay, I know how to connect a Mac to a printer which is being shared by a windows machine. That seems easy enough. But my Dad has the opposite problem in that he has a printer connected to an Intel iMac and my mom wants to print to that printer from her Windows XP machine. I can't seem to...

    Two Games on Clamshell iBook

    I am a die-hard clamshell user and my main laptop is an Indigo 366 which I've upgraded the RAM to 576 and the hard drive to 30 GB. I have found a lot of older games work just fine on the unit, but there are two which I think should work, but don't. Keep in mind I'm running Mac OS X 10.3...

    How fast of a Mac do I need?

    Currently I have two Macs, an aluminum Intel iMac, and an old iBook Indigo Clamshell (366 Mhz) Obviously, the iMac is plenty fast. But I'm thinking of getting a faster laptop. I do a lot of stuff on my Indigo with OS X 10.3.9 but the one thing it can't do that I'd really like is to be able to...

    Where to find S/W for older Mac OS X?

    I just recently aquired an iBook Indigo clamshell. I decided to upgrade the RAM to 320MB and the harddrive to a 30 GB. Now it runs OS X 10.3.9 very well. I tried Tiger but it was a bit slow. Still, I found that Firefox 2.0 will still run on Panther and with the airport card this machine is...

    is my iMac G5 overclocked?

    I bought an iMac G5 from ebay which was supposed to be 2.0 Ghz. Well, system profiler does report 2.0 Ghz, but the sticker on the bottom of the stand reads 1.6 Ghz. The fan on the machine speeds up very loudly anytime you use the computer, even for simple tasks like browsing through files in...
