Got one! $238!

Hello all, I'm helping someone who is in desperate need of XPostFacto help. He has a clamshell iBook, pre-FireWire, and also has Tiger CDs. He's having problems getting Tiger to install, even with XPostFacto. It still tells him that it cannot install on his computer, at the first panel of OS...

For how much would you just sell the crippled G4?

Recently, my beige G3 passed on, and I've been without a server since. I'm looking into an eMac because it's simple enough for what I need, and they're found dirt cheap on eBay -- although the auctions always seem to end while I'm away. Anywho, I'd appreciate anyone who could step forward and...

Hah, I'll do it for 300 shipped! (I'd pay more if I could afford it!)

Hi, Like you, I'm also an aspiring coder. I'm a bit further down the line, but the same, nonetheless. Learning how to code is a fun task, and I suggest starting with a simple, easy-to-manipulate code: HTML. A great site to learn about HTML (and other web development languages - I suggest...

Piggybacking on my last post, I also have no permissions on NoWonder.com. At all. I can't even view the home page. Possibly the same fix you implemented on MacOSX.com? Joey Lange MacOSX.com Volunteer

Nope. Still not working. It goes to the "thank you for loggin in" page, then it redirects straight to the "no permissions" page

nope, still not working.

I still "don't have permissions" I'll try clearing my cookies and do it again. Joey Lange MacOSX.com Volunteer

Hi Scott, I just sent an email to you about this prior to finding this forum, so I figured I'd add this in here. OS: 10.4.7 Safari 2.0.4 URL: Anything located in the /accounts/tech/ directory Referrer: any page The bug is about not having permissions to view the tech area. It tells me...

On the footer -- "macosx.com/account/footer.htmml" (obviously should be ".html") Joey Lange MacOSX.com Volunteer Scott: Fixed htmml Link in Footer

Go for it! I'd be glad to point out anything out-of-the-ordinary I notice.

So, if I were to find a port and a chip, I could theoretically add FireWire to the old iBook? Sounds like a fun challenge. Maybe I can eBay up a dead clamshell with FireWire to get the chip :) Thanks for the thoughts - if you'd like a photo of the contacts on the board, I'll open her up...

If you are looking for an "easy-to-type-on" keyboard, I would suggest the IceKey from Macally. http://macally.com/spec/usb/input_device/icekey.html It is pretty much a laptop keyboard made for desktop use.

Hi, I'm the proud owner of a Clamshell iBook, 300Mhz original. Today, I dove into it and did a full dissasembly and reassembly. (I was really, really bored.) During my hacking and slashing and unscrewing and screwing back together, I noticed something: there are pin spots on the logic board...

Yup. You can go as far as 10.3.9 (Panther) without much effort. Just make sure you have a clamshell with a Hard Drive that is 6GB or bigger..3.2 it just barely enough. Also, make sure you have enough RAM. Panther likes anything from 128 (minimally). 10.4 is possible, but takes a much more...

Thanks, I'll be sure to forward the info to my client.

Here's a quote from one of my macosx.com clients (I'm a volunteer), and I could easily answer the first half, so I left that out. The second part, however, stumped me. Maybe you guys can help? Thanks, jlange

:D They are going to "make an exception" and repair my iBook. :D I'm excited. Hey, Lt. Burns -- How goes your iBook's repair? How long did it take from sending it out to get it back? ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy Just a little excited.
