  • In my experience iSights are selling like hotcakes. Off topic I know, but I know a LOT of people who have bought them. They're cool and relatively inexpensive. A lot of people buy at least two. One for themselves and one for the person/people the…

  • True, true... Cable is shared by the whole neighborhood meaning possibly less consistent speeds. And it's true the only 'settings' required, if any, for DSL are your username and password - at least in my past experiences. For most people, …
    in Best broadband option for Macs Comment by seb June 2003
  • For localized info, check www.broadbandreports.com. Personally, I have Time Warner (roadrunner) cable and have had 0 problems in the three years I've had it. I've never had DSL, so can't compare directly. But with DSL, you do have to enter 'se…

  • Try starting up from an OS 9 CD and deleting it. Or booting into OS 9 if you have it on your Mac.

  • You have to manually change the permissions of the conduits folder. I haven't done this in a while, but somewhere in the system folder is a 'conduits' folder with a 'usb' folder in it. Make sure you have read/write access to all of the folders…

  • Try running the silver Apple Hardware Test CD that came with the unit. Sounds like he has a hardware problem to me. Possibly bad RAM. Maybe something with the logic board/cpu. It would help to know how often his iMac KPs and what he is doing when…

  • go to apple's support site and do a search for stuck LCD pixel. You'll find your answer there. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=22194 And, for comparison, Dell calls it a "natural defect in LCD technology". http://docs.us.d…
    in How common are dead pixels on new displays? Comment by seb May 2003
  • Repairing permissions is usually not necessary. Rarely will it actually fix the problem a person is having. It's usually only necessary if/when you are having trouble installing a program. I've seen Palm Installers and Shockwave installers nee…
