My powerbook (FW 800 model) suddenly started ejecting all the cds i tried to insert in its slot loading drive. It reads them for a very brief moment and spits them out. I checked from system profile and also with tech tool if they would find fault in hardware, i.e. in superdrive, but they...

Thanks, didn´t work though, but thanks anyway..

I got a creative webcam live!pro and was wondering if it´s possible to use it with mac os x? I tried ichatusb but didn´t work with that, does anyone have any suggestions or experience? Thanks

Yep aluminum Pb´s opening is lot more complicated, if you really want to do it heres instructions http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/PB_G4_15_AL_takeapart/AL_PB_G4_take-apart.html But i´d really suggest you take it to get fixed. Even after opening your PB you dont have straight acces to your...

It is strange that your screen burns so easily, but dont worry in lcd displays its only temporary and they will always fade. It takes about double the time your screen was on to fade (so if you left your screen on for 2 hours then closing it for 4 will do it.) anyway you should contact the place...

Hi, just wondering that since I installed tiger I cant use the illuminate keys F8-F10 anymore it only shows this denied sign... Any hints why is this, tried to search if I hace some restrictions in my system preferences byt couldn find any... thanks tomi

Well it works perfect for me, my PB is also happy and a bit faster, so I´d give it 9. tomi

Well I just installed tiger and think its a good update,(not sure though if it was worth the 129 euros..) But besides spotlight, automator and dashboard, theres really lot of other things going on underthehood and makes tiger the most stable and best mac os yet. and unlike windows updates, mac...

Oops, sorru had misinterpreted apples info, ye you have to get stuffit expander if you have sit files, os x:s own expander works only for zips... sorry tomi

10.4 doesnt come with stuffit because it should now have it own decompress tools for sit, sitx etc files..

Yep, tinkertool or then some other freeware like onyx which also does lot of other nice things like run cron scripts repair permissions etc. tomi

Yes firewire for sure, Lacie has nice FW800 drives which come bundled with backup software.. also maxtor has firewire drives with one button backup utility, should check those out if you like easy backups.. If youre subscribe to .mac you have the backup utility from there.. Anyway most backup...

Well you can set priviledges for folders and any documents. Just click apple plus I and change the priviledges from there, so you can ghange that only you can acces those files and also the root user. But that doesnt help if someone uses your computer when youre signed in.. There is at least...

Lacies drives seems to get good reviews, they have some new one wich can burn images on the top of the cd/dvd:s too, but its slow... nice anyway

Hi, dont know really whtas happening, but have you tried to verify and repair your permissions and run cron scripts? (one easy way to do it to download onyx-freeware and let it do everything9 Or use disk utility to repair permissions. Thats always good to do after installing things. Then you...

Hi, have anyone tried to change the internal Hd in your PB? I have Pb G4 (FW800) 1,25ghz and I´m thinking to replace my HD with larger one, maybe 100gb with maybe 5400rpm has anyone any experience of this? Does it heat too much? I know I could just buy external one, actually I already have...

Yes, well virex 7.5 eats processing power in panther too... So better wait for the new version for tiger and with panther stick to 7.2...

well... what did you do before that? You could try zapping the pram: close the computer press ctrl-command-P-R at the same time until you hear couple of boot sounds then release and wait. Or try starting from your install or restore dvd or cd by pressing C while starting up and run disk...
