Hi, Have an external iSight camera running on a Macmini. Was fine but has starting shutting down. I get a few seconds of the green light on the camera and then it makes a slight noise and shuts off. Any ideas? Is it dead? Cheers folks...

Hi running a Macmini with an XP partition. Had to re-install the partition drive following a virus and since then have no ethernet driver and am having to connect wirelessly. In Device Manager the yellow "!" is showing and it says: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware...

Thanks both. JBarley, have passed the message on and will let you know the result if they choose to try it rather than take it back... Cheers again!

Hi folks. Friends have a brand spanking iMac that was running ok earlier today but now goes to a white screen with the Apple logo after the 'boot up' sound. Unfortunately the advice line now shut til Monday. Anyone any clue what if anything they can do? Cheers everso...

Doh! So they are! Easy when you know how I guess; thank you very much for taking the trouble to reply...

Recently came across a function suggestion that you could display the iPod controls when in another app by double clicking the home button. I don't seem to have a 'home button' option in settings and found a forum thread saying it was gone with OS4. That said the OS4 manual mentions setting the...

Hi, I have a Power Mac G4 running Tiger. Recently installed Office 2008 and wanted to use Entourage to manage my hotmail account. The account set-up assistant was happy with my e-mail address and password but when asked to verify the set-up my account name was highlighted as the problem...

Hi Ed, Just in case you read this. I got an extra 1MB Ram and have installed Tiger. The old girl now does everything I need her to. Have to say these Macs are a breath of fresh air after years on windows' PCs. Anyway, thanks again for all your helpful advice.

Hi, Probably a very daft question but am new to these here Macs! I upgraded my Power Mac G4 from OSX 10.2 to 10.3. Got 3 install discs. The puter asked for the 2nd disc but completed the install without asking for the final disc. Its working fine. Not sure whether the 3rd disc is...

I have a Power Mac G4. The information on the present 256 MB RAM is as follows: PC2700U - 25331 - A1. I want to add an additional 512 MB. How much of the existing RAM identification needs to be identical? Thanks very much, Chris

Cheers Ed - I'll try and let you know how I get on. Your help much appreciated.

Hi Ed, From the 'About this Mac' I get: Mac OS X version 10.2.8. Memory: 256 MB Processor: 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. The System Profiler records: L2 cache size: 256K L3 cache size: 1 MB Machine model: Power Mac G4 (version = 3.3). Interestingly, I asked a guy selling a Power MAC G5 OS X...

Hi Ed, Thanks for your reply. I suspect you are right about the need to upgrade the operating system. I've tried in vain to download and install older versions of Firefox. Will my g4 operate using Apple Mac OS X Tiger Version 10.4.6? Seems I can pick one of these up reasonably cheaply...

Recently bought a G4, running OS 10.2.8 as a 2nd puter. 2 issues: Firstly, when I access my hotmail account I can log-in and see the e-mails but can't open them. I also get no response to delete and other options. I suspect this is because I'm running a very old version of safari. Any...
