The Apple Store just advised me that my 15 month-old Dual 2.7 G5 has a coolant leak, which ruined the power supply, both CPUs, and likely the logic board. That'll be ~$2K, thank you very much. No warranty. Naturally, I'll just have to throw the machine away. Can't put that much more into it...

The machine started arbitrarily shutting down on its own. I first thought it was a house power glitch, or something, because the machine would restart normally. Now it won't restart at all. Pushing the start button illuminates the light above the switch until the button is released, then...

Running a dual G5, plenty of RAM, two 400 GB drives. One drive has iTunes 5.0 something, the other iTunes 4.0 something. After upgrading to iTunes 5.0, I get an error message when I plud my 20GB touch-wheel iPod into the system: "You will not be able to copy songs purchased from the iTunes...

Greetings all, Is anyone aware of Check Printing software that will allow me to create checks from scratch, and that runs on a Mac? There's plenty that runs on the PC, but I haven't been able to come up with a good app for the Mac. Thanks for the help, Pish

I'm not seeing any active rumor-mongering regarding possible G5 Powermac upgrades, and as I'm finally ready to jump on one, I'd kind of like to know how long I may have to wait for the next generation. I expect that the new machine will have faster CPU's, and probably a dual-layer...

I just replaced a D-Link DI-713P Wireless 802.11b router with an APEBS. The D-Link unit worked fine on my Win XP and a Win 98 machines, but the APEBS does not. Is there a description (pretty fundamental, I hope) for the setup and configuration of Win 98 the the Airport Extreme? I saw Heath...

I recently installed Photoshop CS on 10.3, and when I double-click an image file (.jpg, .tif, crw), the image now opens in ImageReady. This is not my preference, but I'm not finding the trick to re-associate these files with Photoshop. It's gotta be simple, but I'm stumped. Anyone able to...

Just saw a notice that Panther wipes out data on external FireWire drives using the Oxford 922 bridge chip-set. That appears to be only on the FW 800 drives. Apparently, the 911 chip-set is okay. Anyone have more on this?

That about says it. How about some feedback on the problems with compatibility we find while using 10.3?

As I prepare myself for the monetary shock of buying a new Dual G5, I realize that the 512MB of RAM that comes with the machine is inadequate. The prices Apple offers for RAM upgrades are not even in the realm of the possible. Does anyone know of the best source for DDR400 PC3200 1GB modules...

I know that Cinema Tools 1.0 had a users manual. Now that 2.0 is part of the FCP 4 package, how does one get info on using the program? I cannot find diddley in the FCP manuals, so, I must be missing something....right? Where the heck is the manual? Thanks, Pish

I'm trying to keep my Dual 450 alive and sufficient to the task for the next few months, until I can't help myself on the G5. To do that I need an adapter for an ATI Radeon Card (don't know the model, but it's 32mb with a serial and a non-Cinema Display connector). I need to make it work with...

Go to the Apple Store and select the PowerMacs...the top of the page shows some amazing stuff under the heading, "Choose your PowreMac G4". It goes on to say, "The world's fastest personal computer. 1.6Ghz, 1.8Ghz, or Dual 2Ghz PowerPC G5 Processors." It goes on from there, but it's gotta...

Just got an Airborne Express delivery of FCP 4.0. Haven't looked at it yet, but will surely do it tonight. Anyone opened the app yet?

I have run into a sort of problem with harddrives. My G4 Dual 450 has a 100mhz bus, and won't support harddrives with capacities greater than 120gb, I believe. The problem is, I have 6 harddrives on this machine now...a 40gb, 80gb, and a Sonnet striped raid set consisting of 2 - 120gb drives...

I'd like to copy my current bootdrive onto a much larger drive. Any recommendations for a nice, clean, flawless copying app? Thanks, Pish

Undoubtedly this is a rookie question, but I haven't figured out how to stabilize the icons on my desktop. It seems they love to rearrange themselves, and often open on top of existing icons...sometimes many layers deep. How do I make the icons remain organized as I want them to? Sometimes...

Greetings all, I'm interested in either creating a new boot drive, or transferring apps on my current boot drive to one of my much larger secondary drives. The situation is like this; my current boot drive is a 40GB drive, but I have an 80 GB drive, and a RAID 240 GB internal config, as...

That doesn't sound so good to me. It's the same as a non-educational upgrade. Could I be missing something here?

I read that Sony is producing a 17GB DVD burner for a ridiculous price...something like 2K :D Anyone heard of anything new in the DVD R arena, other than the Sony thing? Sure would like to have 9 GB available.
