Here's another take on it. This might be a sticky situation for Apple. http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mac/news/2008/04/apple_psystar

I'd be surprised if they haven't done so already.

Okay. I've supplied all the info I have on the problem. I'm not a programmer, and, although I'll go into terminal to try to work with specific issues, it is beyond my ability to find out exactly what is happening to cause the problems. So far, Apple is silent - it seems as though the problem...

I've checked in a number of places and this is a common problem for ONE G4 - the Powerbook G4 12-inch, 1GHz or faster. It apparently doesn't affect any others. And, yes, I did submit two separate bug reports for the two obvious problems that occurred after install of the "Leopard Graphics...

Does anyone know when (if?) Apple is going to fix the 10.5.2 "Leopard Graphics Update" problems for G4s? I doubt it is a high priority, though. I've been forced to go back to 10.5.1, THEN install 10.5.2 without the Leopard Graphics Update. This is the kind of wonky work around I thought I'd...

I notice this thread began in 2001. Prior to that time, I thought Macs were much better made, but PCs did what I needed and were much more affordable. Since that time, much has changed. I've made the switch because Macs have only gotten better (for my uses) and PCs have continued to get...

Here's a nice bug with the 10.5.2 and Leopard Graphics update - I have a Powerbook G4, 1.5GHz, 1.25GB RAM. Apple's DVD-player worked great with 10.5.1. After installing 10.5.2, DVD-player still worked fine. Then came the Leopard Graphics Update. Not only does DVD-player not work, but it...

Yeah, it's Microsloth that has all those profit friendly packages of many, many versions of its OS. Buying a copy of Windows reminds of the old joke about buying a car - "Oh, you want WHEELS with your new car? That'll be extra."

I fully understand the pain of upgrading OSs (still use a Dell for much of my work). But, as much trouble as I've had with various Windoughs versions, the Leopard install was a breeze. However, there have been a couple of glitches that my little Powerbook never displayed under Tiger - of...

Okay, after it took four days to receive my overnight delivery from Apple, sent through FedEx, I finally got my copy of Leopard. After reading about all the issues with installation, it seemed to me that Leopard was not so much unpredictably buggy as it was more predictably incompatible with...

Picked up a new wired keyboard for my 12-inch Powerbook. While the PB's keyboard works fine, it is small, and my fingers are either fatter or clumsier than they used to be - or both. The keyboard is very nice - I really like the feel of the keys. The added space makes it easier when I have...

Powerbook G4 1.5GHz, 1.25GB RAM. I'll post the results of my Leopard install - after my package gets here from Indiana, that is. "FedEx. When it absolutely, positively MUST get there on time." Indeed. As for my Powerbook Pismo, the senior citizen of my computers - no doubt it will continue...

Well, I preordered Leopard and received a shipping notice from FedEx. Late Friday, Fedex said my Leopard package ended up in Indiana - I'm in California. Go figure. I guess Monday will be soon enough...

Yeah, have a Netgear. As someone else noted - works great, except when it stops passing data, then must be rebooted. It is annoying, but not annoying enough to buy a different one - yet.

I have a Netgear wireless router. It works great - except when it just won't pass data and must be rebooted. Sometimes, it will go for days without rebooting, sometimes, it must be rebooted a few times per day. I don't know what to use next.

Hello, I'm new to this forum and hope someone will have a suggestion to help. I have an old Powerbook Pismo. I like it a lot, despite its lack of speed. Lately, it has demonstrated a perplexing set of symptoms and, after some attempts to find the answer, now must ask for help. This is a...
