I made sure the adapter is plugged way in, but I can't tighten the screws to the Powerbook. Is it just me? I looked at the pins on the adapter and there's 1 pin that seems to be shorter than the others, will this be the cause? Geez...it's only the first time I've tried using the adapter and it's...

When I plug in the memory card reader into my PowerBook's built-in firewire port, the device emits this high pitched buzzing noise. I thought the reader was defective, so I had it replaced and now on my second one and it's still making that same noise. It's to the point where I can't have the...

I have a 60GB secondary drive in my PC that is never being used and I'd like to swap it out to fit inside a firewire/USB 2.0 enclosure to use as a backup drive for my Powerbook. Most likely I'm just going to use it for my Mac only and if I really want to transfer some stuff from the PC to this...

As title, is there a way to find out the number of files/subfolders in a directory? I've done a "Get Info" in Finder but it only shows me the Kind, Size, Where, Created, and Modified. Thanks! --- Mac OS X 10.3.3

Has anyone been following up the post at apple.com regarding the startup time after installing 10.3.2? http://discussions.info.apple.com/WebX?14@113.8uJcaHJ9tw2.0@.599dfee8 There's a recent post of a fix and wondering if anyone has tried it and does this line in Terminal actually do any harm...

What is the correct procedure for resetting the PMU in a TiBook? I've read that the battery should be drained prior to resetting the PMU. Although I've read Apple's Article ID: 14449 and it doesn't mention anything about the battery. Also, Apple says to "press and release" the reset button...

I'm running Toast 6 Titanium on Panther (10.3.1) and a 15" TiBook with superdrive. I'd like to create a data DVD-R for backups so that it'll be compatible with Mac and PC. I've used Toast's "Mac and PC" mode to burn a DVD-R without success. It reads on my Mac, but when I pop it in a Windows...

The one thing that really frustrates me is viewing folders/files on Mac OS X (10.3 Panther). I've been trying about a week to figure out how to reset the view of a particular directory but it only applies to that one window. I upgraded from Jaguar to Panther, and all my files were backed up...

I'm currently running 10.3.1 and noticed my Powerbook's fan runs more frequent than in Jaguar. Only Safari is opened loading normal HTML pages with no special java application and the fan still kicks in. I've opened Activity Monitor and besides from Activity Monitor, Safari and WindowServer...

I'm currently running Mac OS 10.3.1 on a 15" 1GHz Titanium Powerbook. Before I upgraded from Jaguar to Panther, I backed up all my personal files onto DVDs. After I loaded all my files onto Panther, the folder view options are the same as in Jaguar. How can I remove all the folder view...

I've been using Mac OS X for around 4 months now, but I'm still clueless of where to store some of my files and why there are duplicate folders. Let me know if I'm doing right. All applications, I install them in a folder called "Applications" under "Macintosh HD" (root?). All of my...

I've been trying to set the "Settings for" to Battery Power in Energy Saver but it doesn't seem to remember the setting when I go back in later. It automatically resets to Power Adapter every time. Am I not working it properly or is there a problem? --- 15" Titanium Powerbook 1GHz, 1GB...

I've recently tried to drain the battery by having the computer run off the battery until it goes to sleep...then I went too far and had it forced shut down. Ever since that incident my battery guage isn't calculating the times correctly. I could used to go down to 20 mins until the battery...

I use my Powerbook at home about 90% of the time. Should I... 1.) Plug the A/C power cord to the computer with the battery fully charged and in the "plugged-in" state 2.) Recycle the battery (completely charge the battery then drain it...continuously) I'd like to know the best way to...

Can anyone give me any tips on burning a DVD-R from my 15" Titanium Powerbook (1GHz, 1GB ram, 60GB drive, superdrive)? I have gigs of data that I want to store on a DVD instead of separate CD-Rs. - Is it necessary to disable "sleep mode" when I'm burning the DVD? - Can I use the computer...

I'm hoping to purchase a portable storage device that can transfer images to (without a computer) from SmartMedia/CompactFlash cards, and also act as an external hard drive to backup data from my Powerbook from time to time. I've looked into the X-Drive II, but I believe it's only USB? I...

Does a Mac support USB 2.0 transfers? I'm rather new to the Mac environment and I recently bought a Titanium Powerbook (15" screen, 1GHz, 1GB Ram, Mac OS 10.2.6). Can somebody clarify if my system supports USB 2.0 devices with USB 2.0 transfer rates? I'm planning to buy a USB 2.0 card...

I have a couple hundred subfolders and thousands of files in one folder. I'm a PC user so I'm so used to working in the format where the folders are listed first and the files afterwards. Sorted alphabetically. Can this be done in Mac OS 10.2.6? Is there any way I can select this entire...

Is there a way to have one selected folder (including files and subfolders) to be viewed as list? I'd like my personal folder to be "view as list" but leave the Mac OS X system folders to be "view as icons". I'm currently running Mac OS 10.2.6. Thanks in advance!
