iTunes is basing 'most recent' by the Date Added to the library. Can this be altered in the preferences or another way? Inevitably, when a download is completed, episode 1 is added first, and the last episode last. It seems a bit odd that iTunes…

Thanks for your help, but unfortunately this hasn't worked. When I reboot my iMac, and hold down 'c', the system folder appears with the question mark, and doesn't reach the installer. I tried it first with the G4 PB restore disk so I thought that m…

Any ideas chaps? I'm stuck now! Many thanks, Stan

Ok, so now I have the 'untitled' icon back on the G5 desktop. The PB is connected to the G5 via firewire targetting, the disk is completely erased, and all space is free. I have run first aid on the volume through disk utility and it now says all is…

Please could somebody explain how to do this, I am not sure. The untitled disk icon (formerly the PB) appears on the G5 desktop and in disk utility. I have placed the G4 PB software restore disk into the iMac disk drive, but can't see an obvious wa…
-
That's correct. I have now managed to get the G5 to recognise the volume on disk utility, it doesn't recognise it as the powerbook but just a 60gb drive. I have begun the process of flattening it (erasing the disk) in the hope that when this is comp…

The Powerbook disk drive will not accept a disk at present. Not sure why this is. If I load the CD into the G5, I do not know how to boot the Powerbook with it from there. And now there's worse news! For some reason, when I boot pressing the T k…

If I follow the path Powerbook - library - preferences the folder is empty! Even more confused now!

Ok, so tried zapping the PRAM, resetting the NVRAM, booting into single user mode and doing a safe boot - none of these worked, the grey screen on the PB remains. So, at present, have managed to log into firewire target disk mode and the PBook i…

Thanks for your help chaps. I will try this and let you know how I get on.

Unfortunately, I can only view the grey screen on the Powerbook. This I am assured by some people who know more about these things than me is fixed relatively easily - by using the software restore disk. This was obviously the point when I disco…

BTW the way, that's supposed to say 'error 208', not a smilie!

Incidentally, the Airport setting is to "Ethernet", not "PPoE over Ethernet", and has been throughout. Would it be worth reversing this?
-
Yes, that is the modem I am using. I have turned off DHCP on the Airport base station as suggested. However, the problem remains as before. Even on pages which should have been cached (ie I had opened the Apple Quicktime trailer page four times, on …

Thanks for your help. Using a D-Link 504 DSL router, DSl from Pipex. What do I need to do with the PPoE settings, and how do I turn off DHCP on the base station? Sorry to be dumb, Airport is quite new to me.

Installed the Jaguar disk, the grey screen appears, but after 15 seconds, the screen crashes and two bars of horrible grey lines appear across the screen (like when an old telly used to break!). Have tried the Jaguar disk in another Mac, loads absol…

Thanks Segovius, I'll try that.

Ok, sorted the disk thing, but when I reach the installer screen, I am still being told "you cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. An earlier version of Mac OS X is not installed". Anyone?
-
Help! (Again) Reset PRAM and ran disk utility again (each time it is run it says there are no files to repair). No improvement in performance, so asked one of the staff here to reinstall Panther as a last resort. Came back, he has erased the disk…

I'll take it that's a no then! :-)
