Apple wants to charge me an insain amount of money (R1250) for a new power supply. I simply dont have that kind of money.
But here is the trick. If i can open the imac, and find the power supply, and take it out, i can get it fixed. Someone who works for my dad can fix it, but i dont trust him...
ah, dont worry, i found it thanks,,,,,
turns out, its not a hole, its a slit about 1.5 cm long, poking around in there opened it.. Odd, i've never seen anything like that before, i've only known it to be hole
Thanks for your help...
I have another question
its blown, which means i cant turn it on, which means whatever cd was in there at the time, is still in there now...,
How do i get it out, on a normal computer, i would take a paper clip, streighten it out and insert it in the little hole, but i...
So there is nothing I can do myself? Do you know roughly about how much I should expect to pay?
All my other PCs are connected to the UPS and I've never had a problem with them, but the UPS only allows for kettle cord connections, and I wanted to make sure I was actually keeping the mac before I...
hi,
My imac 17" g4 has a serious problem.... It was working fine, then one day i put it to sleep, which i usually do when i study or whatever, and went to study. After about half and hour i heard a big bang from accross the room, so i went to investigate. I couldn't see anything outta place...
Nothing happened on either, so i deleted all attempts and tried again, this time, LPD got the printer going, but it would not stop going, the printer kept throwing hundreds of pages of code (not symbols as i have seen before with hp) code that makes sense, but not what i wanted. Pages of not...
Heres what I do:
I open system Preferences, click on Print and Fax and then on the little plus button.
I select IP printer, use the Hp jet direct socket protocol, Although I have used Internet Printing Protocol and Line Printer Daemon.
I enter the IP address of the printer (192.168.0.170)...
Hi,
Recently we aquired a network Gestetner printer. It took me forever to install it on the windows computer, but i finally got it. Windows set the default port to be 900, however, for the printer it should have been 10001, so after finally figuring it out, it works like a dream,..
I tried to...
Hey,
I, as always, was looking for good deals on old macs.
I currently have a 350mhz powermac g4. Needless to say, its super slow, cpu usage reaches 93% with only dashboard and adium running.
Someone offered my dad, who works in the PC industry a PowerMac g4 2.1Ghz, however, this does sound a...
i got that far, and it promts me for a password, which is another problem. My normal username and password that i use to connect to the domain isn't accepted, i tried some others. I even tried the administrator's password. but nothing is accepted, i checked and checked again, nothing gets...
Seeing as there have been no posts here, i decided i would do it and see how things work out. They work out!, but extremely slowly!
I copied all my music +-40gb onto an external hdd and pluged it into the mac. I changed the settings in iTunes so that it does not copy the music added to the...
i have followed your steps, and entered all information correctly. There has still been no change on my mac, however, now i can see on the server in my network places, that my mac is now listed under the same domain as all the other computers.
When i click network in the finder, there are two...
you guessed correctly, although i am rather experienced in networking with computers, such experience does not span into the mac realm. However, the tech that works for us knows little about mac, (and usually i'm the one assisting him when there is a problem). So i'm on my own with this one...
Hi everyone! Happy new year!!
i was think, i use my mac as much as i use my windows computer, however, i have a 160gb hdd and 40gb on the mac, no naturally i dont keep my music on my mac. I was thinking, if i put my 160gb in an external hdd enclosure, i could switch easily between the mac and...
hi everybody,
I recently connected my mac to the domain, (at least i think so), i did it in the directory access application.
Usually, the second a computer joins the domain with their user name and password, there are a couple of folders on various servers that automatically place shortcuts...
I got soo close. I finally connected to the domain!! well almost
On my windows computer, when i joined the domain, all i needed was my username and password and domain name. After entering those, i was welcomed to the domain. On the mac its different. I type the domain, it finds the server...
