Hi all, I'm just about to head off to South East Asia, (+China & Japan), for a bit of an adventure and I'd like to get hold of an iPod Nano whilst on my travels. Does anyone know where's cheapest? Is it cheaper than getting one here in the U.K.?

Hi all, I've just been playing about with iTunes 6 and I've noticed the 'Audiobooks' tab in the browser. How do I add existing ripped tracks to that tab? I've the complete 'Hitch-Hiker's Guide' but it's ripped from a CD and not bought from the iTMS. The reason I want to do it this way is I've...

Hello all, I've a problem with my Airport base station that's doing my swede in. The reception keeps dropping to two bars, then my internet access craps out and the page won't load. I have to restart before it resolves itself. I'm only 3 foot away from the bloody thing!

How the hell do you switch 'Bonjour' off in iChat 3? I've unchecked the accounts preference but everytime I login I get the annoying "Do you wanna use bonjour?" pop-up.

Hello all. Just recently I've noticed that it's been taking longer and longer for my powerbook G4 to 'log-in'. The spinning rainbow wheel appears and just sits there for what feels like an eternity. I'm sure it never used to. At the same time it seems to have developed some 'odd' characters...

For some crazy reason my left hand speaker keeps cutting out in a 'helicopter-rotor' kind of way. You know a duh-duh-duh-duh kind of way. It doesn't start straight away and my powerbook is only a month old. This is the third mac in a row I've had that's developed a fault early on. If there's...

Hi all, how common is this whole 'dead pixel' thing at the moment? I've just had my powerbook nicked and apparently over here in the UK there's a 2-3 week wait for them but I've managed to find one at Selfridges. My only concern is that the last two Apple computers I've owned both had screen...

Rather stupidly I knocked my powerbook on the corner of my table when fishing it out of my bag and it's bent the side panel with all the sockets. I now can't get anything into the USB port. Anyone got any ideas? It's still under warranty, will Apple fix this for me or is it knackered?

How long is the battery in a powerbook G4 supposed to last as mine seems to last approximately one hour whilst running and using Photoshop. Is this normal? Also, does anyone have any tips for extending battery life.

I've been experiencing a lot of problems, (or more importantly others are experiencing the problem), regarding attachments in mail. Some are able to detach the attachments and some aren't. Obviously those using a mac or mail have no trouble but most who use a PC, do. It's driving me spare, it's...

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, apologies if it isn't. Does anyone out there know how I can get Word in Office X to use the UK English dictionary? It looks as if it is but I'm still having the old 'colour - color' problem.

In all seriousness how likely do we think it is that there really will be such a device as the oft-romoured iBox? All the rumour and speculation would lead us to believe that it's gonna be a corker but will it ever actually materialise.

If we mac users in Europe can't use Napster or other similar stores and there's no sign of iTMS arriving on our shores anytime soon, does anyone know of any sites, other than Warp records, where we can download decent music?

Morning all. I have a friend staying somewhere around Central Park and I've asked him to bring me back some prog, Adobe CS & Macromedia Studio MX to be precise. Does anyone have any suggestions of decent, cheap retailers in that area?

The 'new e-mail sound' in Mail is suddenly making my internal speakers pop. No other sound does. Any ideas?

Guys & gals, does anyone have a definitely positive recommendation for Norton Utilities type program that's compatible with Panther? My old copy of Norton appears to be useless.

Is my 'Airport Extreme' broken? The connection keeps dropping off from 3 'waves' to 2 then off completely. It sometimes comes back but occasionally when I go to the menu to check it out, I'm back to the 'create a network' menu and my set-up has gone. If it comes back I'm greeted with an 'error...

I've got a Safari crisis boys & girls. I recently tried out 'Safaricon' and didn't like it. It kept doing odd things to my Safari & wouldn't let me switch back to the default so I binned it. My Safari was still odd so I binned everything off my powerbook relating to Safari & now I can't...

I don't know if anyone can help me with this but I've encountered a problem with some CD-Rs I've just purchased. They're supposed to have a capacity of 800mb but when I insert them and 'get info' I'm told the capacity is only 38mb so consequently I can't write the files I need onto them. Why is...
