    Swapping DVD drives in a Mac Mini

    It is the last PowerPC model. I tried resetting PRAM and it is still there. I downloaded a firmware updated from Apple and I got a message saying I cant update the firmware on this model. I am assuming it should be supported since the CPUs are the same from both Macs.

    Swapping DVD drives in a Mac Mini

    Hey guys, I have a Mac Mini with a super drive here at work. I have a 12" PB with a combo drive. I swapped out the combo drive for the super drive so I can burn DVDs on my PB G4. It works perfect on my PowerBook, but the combo drive does not work at all on my Mac Mini. It is plugged in, it...

    anyone put in a 7200rpm?

    I'm sure it will make a difference, not too sure how much though. Co worker has an older PB G4 17" 1 Ghz with a 7200 and it seems as fast as my 12" 1.5 Ghz PB G4 with 1.25 GB of ram. Also, it's not that hard to take the case off the newer PowerBooks. Screws on bottom and sides, about 12...

    Wireless USB options

    Hey guys, I just came up on a G3 iBook 500 Mhz for $100. I had a bad iBook at work and I switched out the casing and the LCD and it looks great! The only thing is, I run wireless at the house and the router is in another room and I really don't want to run an ethernet cable across the floor...

    Bad Catalog B-Tree

    Thanks for the reply. I do have Disk Warrior at work, I will give it a shot. Is there anyway to mount more than one disk in single user mode and attempt to copy data using the cp command?

    Bad Catalog B-Tree

    Hey guys, I have run into a big problem at work. A user here was no longer able to boot up to OS X 10.4. It stayed at the splash screen and that was it. I booted up to a Tiger DVD and ran Disk Utility. When I ran this, I got the following error message: Keys out of order. Rebuilding...

    I got mine two days ago... the monitor itself is awesome. I have noticed terrible backlighting also on my top right and bot left corners... very little backlight on the other two corners. I also have 1 dead pixel. Do I just call Dell and tell them about the backlighting and dead pixel and they...

    Display problems

    Hey guys, I am somewhat new to the Mac world, work is forcing me to learn it (learning is always good though). Basically my co-worker did a bunch of things to a 12" PB. One of the problems is the display looking REALLLLLY crappy (kinda looks like a bright 256 color windows machine). I checked...

    Linksys wrt54g question

    Try moving the router a little farther away than 1 inch. When I was working at Dlink, our rule there was at least 6 inches, no more than 12 inches. Change the channel, disable any encryption temporarily, any 2.4 ghz phones? When I first got my Linksys router, I didnt know my mom had a 2.4 ghz...

    Connecting 2 wireless routers to each other for signal extending

    Well if Linksys is anything like D-Link, which I doubt, then the Linksys AP will not repeat the Belkin router. I do believe that wireless repeaters are not a part of the Wi-Fi standard, so some companies only ensure their shit to work with their products, i.e. D-link. But back to topic, you...

    Poor signal strength from Dlink AirPlus wireless G router

    I work for D-Link tech support and I will tell you now that 80 ft is too far especially if you are going through walls and other floors. I get calls everyday regarding signal strength and shit. What I suggest is that you bring the router in your room or within 10 ft from your room. Just the...
