Hi all, I recently bought a new wireless router with the idea of using my old airport express base station to boost the signal of the new router. However, since setting up the new router and plugging the base station in in another room, Airport Utility cannot detect it. The light is flashing...

Hello all. Long time no see. I'm running 10.4.11 on a 17" iMac g5. A couple of days ago it froze and on restart I got an orange screen (never seen that before) and then nothing. A couple more restarts got slightly further, at least as far as my wallpaper loading, then blue screen. I've gone in...

Hi folks - long time no post. Hope you're all well! I'm desperately looking for an English - Spanish translation app for OSX.4.11, preferably free, of course, ha ha, but if anyone out there can make a recommendation, I'm willing to fork out as I need it for work. 'hay

iMac G5 Tiger 10.4.11 froze during a video stored on internal HDD and would not respond to force quits and force restarts. [cue derision] in a fit of pique I unplugged the power, figuring the machine had survived power cuts before.[/cue derision] It did not. Survive, I mean. Now getting...

Hello, I have a very irritating problem with web pages. They don't display properly. It seems to be pages which are java-heavy; somehow, java just stops working (though this is my very inexpert interpretation based on a couple of Java error messages). Hence, Yahoo mail sucks, Facebook sucks...

Hi y'all Running 10.3.9 on a G4 iBook, suddenly started getting a verrrrry slow start up. Everyting fine up to the log in screen, choose user, enter passw, go through bits of blue screen right up until the wallpaper loads then, bam, on with the brakes. Spinning beachball, plus date, time...

Hi folks, I'm trying to back up a movie to a DVD-R using the DVR K04L Pioneer in my G4 17" iMac (running 10.4.11). It's always worked beautifully in the past, but suddenly I get the following message when Toast Titanium has finished compressing: The drive reported an error: Sense key =...

Hi folks, Don't know if this is a Mac issue or an ISP one, but thought I'd try asking here as the Google support page is not helping much. I suddenly stopped being able to use Google.com. If I try to access the homepage, I just get a blank, and if I use the Google toolbar, it leads to a...

Aloha - I'm using Internet Sharing between a G5 iMac (10.4.8) and a G4 iBook (10.3.9). I take the signal into the iMac via built in ethernet and then distribute it to the iBook via Airport. I do it that way because sometimes I like to work on the iBook in another room of the house. I have an...

Hello all - is there any way I can use Airtunes to stream internet radio (ie Pandora) to a hi-fi in another room of my house? I have an account with Pandora and it's the most fantastic thing, but I would like to feed it to a stereo hooked up to an Airport base station in a room where I don't...

Hi - just upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and am having repeated crashes. It tends to be triggered by something, though not always the same thing: skipping to next track in a playlist, pausing, unpausing, muting, switching to another playlist, or sometimes it just decides to shut off. I always get the...

Hi folks. Got a 17" iMac G5, 250GB HD, 2GB RAM, 10.4.7 which had a Panasonic CW-8124-C DVD/CD-RW drive in working perfectly burning CDs with iTunes, Finder and Toast 7 Titanium. Today I changed the drive for a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K04L. I have managed to burn an audio CD in iTunes, but when I...

Hi y'all - I've got a 17" G5 iMac (aluminium base, not dome) and I've got some tiny little storm flies behind the screen which show up on the display, like they're sitting on the surface of the display itself. It's a second hand machine with no warranty for me to void, so is it a...

[customary "searched for this but nothing came up, sorry if i'm mistaken" disclaimer] I've just bought an airport express base station and have it hooked up and working effortlessly as I type. I've created a closed network, have built in firewall switched on and i'm using 10.3.9 on a 12"...

I must get this off my chest....we are Mac people, and as such we are aesthetes, as concerned with the visual merits of our gadgets as the technological. So what's with the smilies? I know their purpose and I agree they are invaluable in eliminating the inevitable ambiguity of the hastily...

I have an odd query. When I use Disk Utility to erase the contents of a CD-RW (OsX 10.3.9) I undergo a terrifying 'What would happen if I accidentally selected my HD instead of the CD-RW' bout of vertigo-like anxiety. I find myself double-treble-quadruple-checking that I have absotively...

I can tune a 12-string guitar whilst wasted and understand my two-year-old daughter when she talks in her sleep at 3am with a dummy in her mouth. But I don't understand the relationship between Mac and PC. Is it possible to run OsX on any old PC and XP on any old Mac, or is that only possible...

I so hope this isn't a lame repeat of a long forgotten thread..... In honour of that 80s cartoon book classic '101 uses for a dead cat', once your beloved Mac bites the dust, what the hell do you do with it? Opening gambit - 12" iBook - wide open in death as in life: the perfect angle for...

Howdy - I use a Wacom Graphire pad, pen and cordless mouse (USB trackpad type thing) hooked up to iBook 12" running 10.3.9. Any suggestions why I get one scroll wheel speed in, say, Safari, and a r-e-a-l-l-y irritatingly slow one in Appleworks? Any fixes welcome. Cheers

Have seen this hack (details here: http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html) mentioned in other threads, but wondered if anyone could shed further light on possible problems. I've been toying with the thought of an additional monitor to supplement my 12" iBook. I'm a switcher and had no...
