Hi all, I've got a network here which is connected to the internet through a Mentor router - not sure which model exactly, but the control panel matches pics I've seen for the Annex-A-V3.27. My problem is this - I have a Mac Mini on the network that I have set up as a web/ftp server. Since...

Hi, We've got a Mac here running Distiller and have generally printed Postscript files through an Acrobat 7.0 PPD to the Distiller which then produces PDF/X-1a:2001 compliant PDFs files. This works fine from QuarkXPress 6.5, but from 7.03, the Distiller always returns the error that no...

I've got a mighty mouse with my work MacPro and it's been great, except that this morning it stopped scrolling down. I've restarted and checked the prefs and it doesn't look like i've inadvertently altered some settings (as I quite often do). It still scrolls up and sideways, just not down...

Hi, I did a Software Update and downloaded a few items the other day - iTunes update, a security update and a couple of other little things and now my Finder is utterly monged and all my apps keep crashing. In the Finder, I can navigate around using the keyboard, but if I click on any icons or...

Can anyone please help me, i'm going out of my mind?! I've just got a SerialATA card (SIIG two-channel card from OWC) and a 200GB Seagate Barracuda SATA drive. I've installed both into my Quicksilver G4/867 with OS X 10.3.8 and the drive has shown up and formatted fine. Now when I copy...

Can anyone confirm whether the Adaptec SATAConnect 1205SA Serial ATA controller card works in Macs, specifically my Quicksilver G4/867? They're being sold by MacWarehouse, but that doesn't appear to mean anything. It's half the price of the equivalent Sonnet card, and is about as much as I...

Hi all, not been round these parts for a while, but need a quick hand, if you would be so kind... I'm getting a digital SLR soon along with a CompactFlash to PC Card adapter so that I can dump my pics onto my old PBG3 when the CF cards fill up. Only problem is that having dusted off the...

I'm trying to get hold of one of the 4.5v cube clock batteries for my Umax but the prices I'm getting are stupid. Cheapest I've found in the UK is £20 ($31) from Gordon Harwood PLUS shipping. OWC and other US sites have them for as little as $8.50 but the only shipping option is FedEx $28! Small...

My Powerbook G3/300 (PDQ) has been working fine and dandy until just recently, possibly until installing 10.2.2, but now when its about half way through starting up the screen goes black - still on but with no backlight. Once its started up fully I can just press the brightness buttons and it...

Anyone know of an OS X app that does what Disk Wizard or Iomega's FindIt utilities did in OS9 - for cataloging disks so you can find that elusive file that you know you backup for safe keeping 7 years ago in a sea of CD-Rs?!

Just opened my sharing pref panel under 10.2.1 and where it normally says the name of the thing selected with the on/off button and a description, it said "Cupertino Sharing On" and in the description bit said something along the lines of "stuff for you, and me, and timmy". What on earth is...

I've been trying to get to grips with Maya 3.5 on a Quicksilver G4 with a GeForce 2MX graphics card and it refuses to refresh the screen - not the windows with the 3D stuff in - they all refresh beautifully, but the panels and everything else around them will only redraw if you drag something...

Am thinking of tarting up my PowerBook G3 with a custom makeover as per the AppleFritter Hacks page - maybe a similar effect to the Sapphire one, but in Platinum to match my car! Has anyone attempted this and if so, what do the results look like close up? And does car paint stick to the plastic...

I have a PowerBook G3/300 Wallstreet2 running 10.2 which I'm steadily upgrading and I've aquired an IBM IEEE1394 (Firewire) CardBus PC Card on the cheap. Anyone got any idea how to make the thing work? Also, when it does work can it power FW devices through the fw cable or would I need the...

I have a Quicksilver G4 with Pro Speakers and an iSub which all worked fine under 10.1.5, but when I plug the iSub in under 10.2, the Pro Speakers go quiet as they always did, but the iSub doesn't come in with the bass. Anyone know why or how to fix it? Ta.:confused:
