  • Thanks for the info. I'll dig out my paperwork and give them a bell. See how long they quote for the repair. cheers
  • As I say, I was under the impression it had been fixed so, after installing the update decided to allow it to reclaim the disk space. It trashed my iTunes database and I've since discovered it also trashed some of my email preferences and messages. …
  • Just an update... to answer my own question, it seems it *isn't* safe to recover disk space, even though I've installed the update that Apple says fixes the problem. Once I'd recovered the space my iTunes database file was trashed and it wouldn't…
  • Just FYI information I bought a 1.25GHz 15" Powerbook on 17th September and qualified first time for the upgrade on the website. Fully expected them to cancel the order as they MUST know what's been going on but I received my copy of Panther here…
  • Yeah you're right. I had been restarting Apache each time I changed it. I've sorted it now. In the main httpd.conf the section that allows it to recognise .shtml files was commented out. Now it's working. I guess it was just translating it to a s…
  • Hmmm ,ok. My virtual server (in /etc/httpd/users/simonw.conf) is: -------------- Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /User…
  • This is where I read it: From: http://www.apple.com/powerbook/wireless.html Automatic networking: the power of Mac OS X AirPort Extreme represents the hardware side of the wireless networking equation. On the software side, the PowerBook G4 b…
  • Just an update as I've been bitching repeatedly about my orde ron here. My PB15 1.25 stock turned up yesterday and it's great! No problems with the latch, hinge or screen at all. Big relief! Good luck to those still waiting. Hope they arrive s…
  • I ordered on the 17th and, to my surprise, it shipped on the 18th. Seems I was really lucky as a lot of people seem to have ordered from the UK at the same time and haven't shipped yet. Would have been luckier if they'd shipped it properly after …
  • It was just a stock 1.25 12" - no BTO options at all. I ordered an icase sleeve as well. The powerbook was sat in Lux for a week while they waited for this to arrive so they could put them together and ship them out. It was only when I phone them to…
  • You sure they've not been given the superdrive by mistake Ti Fighter? Looks like my long fight has finally paid off. Apple supervisor phoned me back at 6.15 last night with a new TNT tracking number. This one actually works! AND the package is in…
  • I feel for you mate. They left mine sat in Lux for a full week while they waited for my laptop case to arrive. Problem is they sent it to me so it was never going to. That was a full week ago, and all they've had to do since is hand it over to TN…
  • Just a word of warning for all UK (and Europe?) people waiting on their deliveries. Apple is telling everyone they can track their TNT package using the 800 apple delivery number. I've just spoken to TNT... again.... and they're sounding pretty a…
  • I phone TNT on Saturday to see if my tracking number had come through and they said they *still* hadn't been given my package. I was off work yesterday so I asked to speak to the supervisor at Apple After-Sales. She didn't seem at all bothered ab…
  • OK, so an update on my shambolic Apple order. My last entry was when Apple realised they were idiots and were going to send out my powerbook "as a matter of urgency" to arrive with me definitely today. So after constant calls (and wait…
  • Ok, so I speak to them again this morning and finally speak to someone who seems to know what they're talking about. Apparantly the reason the powerbook has been sat in Luxembourg is because they were waiting for the case to arrive so they could sti…
  • Well my stock 1.25 15" shipped on the 17th Sep, arrived in Luxembourg on 18th and............ nothing. The tracking just said it was in Lux. A few people ordering to the UK have said that their tracking just stopped there and it wrrived a few days l…
  • Ahhh ok. Anyone know if weekends count? Don't know whether they work then or not. So I should get it (maybe) Wednesday.... or Friday if they don't work weekends. Damn, was hoping to get it before then :-(
  • I ordered the stock 1.25 15" yesterday lunchtime (17th) and it shipped early this morning (18th). Has anyone else in the UK had theirs shipped yet? Seemed early as it was quoting 2-5 days build when I ordered! Shame that 'Express' delivery is s…
  • Yeah we pay 17.5% VAT. Although the prices on the Apple Store UK are VAT included. I never understood why sales tax wasn't shown on price tickets in the States? Because it changes so much I guess... oh well
