  • I've heard that rubbing toothpaste using a terry cloth towel will do the trick (although I haven't tried it myself). I actually bought a product over the summer that worked like a charm: http://www.ipodcleaner.com/ It took all the little scratc…
  • Just thought I'd give an update to my panic problems. May be helpful to someone with a similar situation. As stated above, the panics on my G4 were very unpredictable, and could not be replicated by any specific function by myself. I could go may…
  • I installed a Plextor 48x writer back before summer in my mirror door drive 1g dual G4 (in addition to the Superdrive it came with). It works great. The speed is unbelievable. I didn't go all-out on my research at the time, but I seem to remember it…
  • For those having ethernet issues with this update, I found this on Macupdate: "AppleGMACEthernet Patch fixes the issues with the 10-base T ethernet cards when upgrading from Mac OS X 10.2.6+ to 10.2.8. It simply downgrades the AppleGMACEthernet.k…
  • Check out macupdate.com. I haven't actually tried any, but there are a ton of programs listed that should help. The user feedback and reviews can help you make a decision on which is the best. Hope it helps.
  • So is this PC2700 different from the RAM with the same number used for the towers? Is it scaled differently to fit in the book (so you wouldn't be able to interchange between)?
  • I recently purchased and used "iPod Cleaner"- http://www.ipodcleaner.com It worked great. Don't know how it compares to other products, but it worked perfectly. They also sell a cleaner for the metallic part of the iPod, too, but I did not use t…

  • What happens when the Data Rescue hangs on you? Like I said, it will take a long time. In my case, it took over a day to run the scan, then additional hours to retrieve. When it hangs, are you in the scanning or recovery stage?
  • I recently went through a similar problem with an external hd that wouldn't mount. Actually, the drive I had was partitioned into 3 parts, and it would only mount the 2 smaller ones (of course, the ones that didn't have the important info). Anywa…
  • So in iSync, you do try to "Add Device" and it won't find it? Where did you see the cable bundled? At CompUSA? I know that they want something crazy like $75 for it at the Motorola stores. You can find the Data cables alone on Ebay really cheap.…
  • There should be no need to set it up on the phone's side. If it is an off-brand (non-Motorola), there may be a driver or something to download. Any documentation with the cable? Like I said, the off-brand I originally had wouldn't work, even though …
  • What cable are you using, and where did you get it? I have the same phone, and had problems with the first cable I bought from RadioShack. It wouldn' t see the device. I did some research and ended up getting a cable from Ebay that works just fine.…
  • Did you add the printer to your "Print Center" printer list? You will find this utility in your "Utilities" folder. Once in this utility, there should be a window titled "Printer List". If you don't see it, go to Window -> Printer List. Here, …
  • If you are using PS 6 or 7, select your text. There is a drop-down setting in the top bar that allows you to change the the "quality" of the type. Check that. Just as importantly, check your resolution and make sure that it is high enough (as the ot…
  • What system are you running? I had the same problem on my dual 1GHZ previous to the latest Jaguar update. Still, it can sometimes not wake from sleep, just doesn't happen as often. After months, my final solution has been to not put it to sleep at a…
  • Quote: Originally posted by facelike i used to have kernel panic's all the time then i removed a third party piece of hardware and it all stopped from there. gone on several months without the smallest problem. i think its caused by a poorly wri…
  • I hate when I hear people tell me that, cuz my OS has been like this since I got the machine. Why me?!? It's a Dual 1 G. Don't know. I do run os9 a lot to run old versions of programs. Maybe that contributes to the problem? Wish I had the answers. B…
  • My machine tends to get panicky after I install something new onto the system (I mostly just install new system software through the Software Update in System Preferences). I've happily found that running disk permissions in the disk utility does th…
