Easy enough ... download and install uControl, click in the second tab "Options", then check the first box on the left "Real Function Keys"

Cool... Thanks!

Too bad the interface is butt, and there's no application-level control (games, and, oh yeah, layout programs, etc.), and perhaps AppleScriptability, etc. Well, what do you expec…

I will soon be purchasing a Dual 1.8 G5 to replace my trusty Yikes! machine. Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to move files over a LAN? Also, The Yikes! is running Jaguar, will there b…

Shut down both machines and start up one holding down "T" on the keyboard. This boots the machine into "Target Disk Mode", turning it into essentially a big expensive firewire hard…

Don't use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your whole user dir and expect it to work. The Prefs might not work. Copy your lib instead and import addresses and other things manually. F…

CCC is best for copying and making backups of SYSTEM folders and OS installations, not for transferring files. That is unless you want to clone an entire drive. Use Target disk M…

You could also boot from the 'Software Restore' CD and partition your new G5's drive (I recommend doing this anyway) into at least two partions. On the second partition, install a…

FYI: The Yikes! G4 will not boot as the target disk because it has a different FireWire controller that does not permit that 'feature'. You can, however, use the G5 as the target d…

Hmmm...so instead of manually unscrewing the hard drive out of my dad's old g3, dumping into a firewire case, and plugging that into the new mini mac I got for him, I can just put …

Correct.

thanks!

You guys are all screwing everything up. Seriously. You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to get your ENTIRE /Users directory as long as you copy over the netinfo database as well. Exa…

I recently bought a 40 gb hitachi harddrive for my pismo g3/400, and now I am trying to install panther on it. Whenever I get to the disk select screen, it tells me that I can not …

Update - it seems that all i needed to do is restart the computer and boot from the OS X discs again. After this, panther let me install onto the harddrive.

I have gone 2 1/2 months without my Titanium PowerBook after selling it Oct.2003. Well, 2 days ago, I walked into the Apple store here in Dallas and I walked out with the 15" Al Su…

Talking to a few friends, and after reading many posts, and comments on the internet, it seems that 2.5 hours is fairly common. I have a second edition 17 PB, and I can get just…

I love my AL Book 15. Solid as a Rock. I really haven't made many demands battery wise. You can expect 3hrs managing power usage. Not one kernel panic or hiccup in the 30days it's…

Orion27: Yeah, it's nice. The funniest and most ridiculous thing were the comments from my friends who are Windows users. Friend: Why do you want a Mac? Me: I love the design, the…

Apple did recently post a battery update, get it and you might gain some minutes. I gained 50 minutes and now have a 4 hour battery life with BT off, AE off and screen down to hal…

Thanks, I have already installed the battery update. 2.5 hrs. is to be expected then. I'm cool with that.

Congrats on your Job and your purchase. I'm sure you'll love it.

typoon: Thanks. I'm loving it!

Glad you are loving it. I got a 12 Inch right after xmas and I love it. What a great little machine this is
