    Airport ability to connect suddenly diminished

    This is a little long, but I wanted to give you the whole "backstory." This is very weird. I noticed that my Quicksilver 2002 G4 was getting sluggish on line. It's in one part of the house. I played with the airport config, changed channels, all the stuff you can do. Sometimes, it would get...

    Moving softward from one internal to another

    Here's the problem: I loaded Nikon's PictureProject software on Internal Drive #1 which is about 50% full (at 60g). I have a perfectly good 80g harddrive that is practically empty on the same computer. The program 'found' all the jpegs on computer #1 and categorized them nice and neatly. But...

    Okay, I've checked out the LaCie d2 and the Sony 810/UL. I've seen some other burners on the shopping dot net dot coms. As an external drive, does anyone have any advice as to which burner to get? I have to dub some old VCR tapes to DVD. I purchased my G4 in 2002 and have only been...

    Can't awake from sleep

    Recently, I've been experiencing this strange phenomena. The computer goes to sleep (or, more precisely, it gets to the point where the monitor is black), but the computer doesn't shut down. And I can't wake it up. I have to hold my button (G4) until it shuts down. It boots right back up. Any...

    iTUNES naming tracks issue

    I know this is ancient history because I'm supposed to be an iPOD. But here's the deal: I just spent hours building a cd. The songs are original. They are "billy dungbeetle" singing "my woman dis it" or anything like that you could purchase. They're original. I titled them all; I imported art...

    iTUNES: 10 hrs and counting

    Somebody (maybe a 15 year old) can tell me the steps that are wrong with this. 1. We created music. We saved a playlist too. 2. We named all the tracks. 3. We burned playlist to CD. 4. We submitted the "artist, genre, titles" to Big brother online. 5. We get the "congrats you've submitted"...

    So, having spent the last hour in the "did you buy, did you pay, did you pay and buy, go to innernet and pay pay buy buy" here's the deal: 1. We created some ORIGINAL MUSIC. We didn't download, purchase, steal or try to steal. So....2. There is no reason to attempt to DOWNLOAD the artist and get...

    Hitachi vs. Seagate vs. Off brands vs. Fujitsu Laptop hard drive

    I need a new 60 GB 4200rpm 9.5mm 2.5" for the G3 laptop that died. I notice there is quite a difference in price between say an Hitachi and a Fujitsu...like $120 vs. $70. Is there a heat issue? Reliability issue? And I found drivesolutions.com offers a no-name brand of 60GB for $99....Any...

    Seagate 160gig

    Just picked up a brand new 160gig internal hard drive from Seagate for my G4. It's at best buy on sale for $50 with a $70 rebate. So, is this a good deal? I assume so. No software for installation, but with the Mac it's basically plug and play, right? My first hard drive install in my mac if you...

    Fan Noise

    My G4 started to make more than the usual noise. I'm sure it is the fan, more on that in a minute. I took to the "Genius Bar" we ran tests all was fine - naturally - but now I have a dilemma. Though I have an open case number, my 3-year (yes, I've had the system for THREE YEARS!) Apple Support...
