  • guess what? the bios battery was dead! i went all over town looking for a replacement, but couldn't locate one. came home and looked up the specs again....turns out my original mac (7100/66) uses the same battery, so swapped them out and it's runni…
  • ok guys, that's what we'll do........ thanks for your input! BTW this site is so much better than apple's own support section Todd [quote]Originally posted by alcimedes: yeah, i was going to suggest the same thing. something is wron…
  • Well, I was beginning to wonder if panics could be software related.....earlier tonight I switched back to I.E. 5.1 (from 5.2) and I haven't gotten any panics since. However, it did freeze/lock-up on me 10 minutes ago when I tried dragging a mounted…
  • Well, I bought a D-Link DI-704 router, and it was pretty painless....... I paid @$70 for it at the time and my Wintel friends ragged me for it.... I guess you can get routers cheaper than that. Basically, you plug your modem into the router, and the…
  • Just got the 512 meg stick installed.........damn computer froze up 5 minutes into Warcraft 3 So I guess it's going in for some professional attention....... maybe the original factory installed ram is bad? I don't know what it is, b…
  • Once again, Warcraft 3 crashed last night (128 megs ram in OS X) I am hoping at this point, it might be due to LACK of ram.... I am going to order 512 megs, which should be in later this week. So let's assume that the whole crashing bit will be o…
  • Well..... I am an addict........ I MUST fix this problem now....... so much for giving up So now I have taken out the 3rd party ram and so far Warcraft 3 hasn't crashed. Runs like hell, mind you since the system is now running on 128megs, but …
  • Well, I am seriously pissed now....... I have spent the last 2 hours doing a complete reformat/reinstall, which didn't exactly go as smooth as it should have. Software update failed 90% into 10.1.5 update, and would not complete. I had to restart an…
  • Well, I have software update check on a daily basis, but I am not sure about the firmwire update. I that would be updated during software update, then I've done that. At this point, I have given up and this morning started the lovely process of form…
  • Well, I bought it thru MacZone or MacConnection..... I can't remember off the top of my head, but they installed the extra ram since it was a free upgrade. I would've hope that it is not ddue to cheap ram, but that is something I'll have to look int…
  • Well, no luck....... I did everything you guys mentioned, and ran the Apple Hardware Test CD. It didn't find any problems. My son had been playing Warcraft 3 all evening w/o a hitch, so I figured I'd give it a try...... and the !@#! locked up on me!…
  • It'll freeze at random times...... some days it locks up, and some days it doesn't. I thought at first it might be a network related error, because we were always playing a game of Starcraft and the imac would drop out, or on some occasions freeze u…
  • Whoa! Talk about a quick reply! Yes, the machine literally comes to a grinding halt! After months of convincing my wife she REALLY needed a mac vs. a dell, she gets a mac, only to see it act like a pc Anyway, I am printing out your tips now…
  • Well, I installed 10.2 last night on my wife's iMac (640 megs) and it is noticeably slower when I'm logging in and out. Mail seems a little quicker.... it unmounts my external drive quicker too. But it is definitely slower than I expected.... my wif…
  • they don't support separate desktops....just mirroring.....which to me is quite lame. it's too bad they don't mirror.... imagine a 17" imac paired up with another17" lcd.......ahhhh man......... also i believe that the imac geforce4 is only 32 me…
  • Actually, I think an "iFrame" would be nice. I enjoy taking photos and find the idea of a wall mounted photo album kinda cool. But I also think it would just cost too much money for me to ever be able to pick one up. And even if I COULD get my hands…
