HI, I just went out and got two new DVD's for my new 500mhz PowerBook. It's running OS 9.0.4 and The latest version of the DVD Player. However, when I put any of the new discs into…

Try reinstalling the DVD Software... that would be my first bet. Have you tried inserting the DVDs while holding down the 'command' and 'i' key? Doing so will force the DVD to moun…

Some people have also reported that turning off File Sharing has made that error disappear. tooki

Misha is on the right trach. Hold down the Option, Command and I keys at the same time while inserting the DVD disk. This will cause the DVD to be mounted on the desktop in ISO-96…

This could also be caused by the Mac not being able to read some DVD formats, specifically ISO 9660 Level 3 and Joliet (a Windows thing). There's a piece of freeware, Joliet Volu…

Thanks for all the help. I tried everything you said but ended up taking the darn thing in (it's not actually mine to speak of so I didn't want to hurt it). They later rang and evi…

Hi, I hope someone could answer mi questions, well The first time I connected the pismo to the tv via an svideo cable for DVD playing i just was able to run the DVD software with …

Can anybody tell me if i can connect a Zip drive (SCSI) to a Powerbook 150, with system 7.5??? thanks

1)Except for Altivec enhanced applications, there isn't much difference between the G3 and G4 except the G4 tower has a larger graphics card. 2)The graphics card in the Powerbook a…

Newbie here, technical pc user, but What is a Pismo?

Apple code name for the latest PowerBooks (the ones with FireWire). Named after Pismo Beach, CA, which is known for Pismo clams. The FireWire PowerBook was originally supposed to c…

Interesting.

I heard somewhere that there would be Rage Pro support in OS X 10.2. This would mean that Open GL would be enabled in older imacs and powerbooks as Apple originally promised with O…

want to backup my system folder or hard drive and think I would need a VST 10 GB expansion drive that I hear everyone talking about, but cant seem to find it. just went to the…

Well, the sad news is that they crashed the price on those hard drives so they could get rid of the extra inventory and remove the product from their stock. You'll have to get one…

My company is a reseller of VST/SmartDisk and we are out too. We've also been told they are gone. Sorry.
