Well, now it isn't. My PB is weird

Once or twice before, I lost sound from my PB (speakers and headphones). Adjusting the volume did nothing, it didn't even make that clicking noise when the volume is adjusted. To…

And I thought I was the only one... Yes, I have had this problem, too. Well, having really, because it happened just yesterday. The sound comes back after a (long) while, though, …

Hi all, If you were going to get a 1.25 Al PB, which mail-order company would you order from? who would you stay away from? Extras is no biggie. Thanks!!

I have always felt most comfortable and confident with PowerMax. You can rest assured that your CSR will follow through and be there after your purchase as well. I've even paid a l…

I bought a 15" 1.25GHz PB from the Apple store and it took me two months and a lot of phone calls to get mine. Don't get one direct from Apple unless you want to get a BTO and wai…

I have a Wallstreet 233 (M4573 with the 512Kb L2 Cache model), 192 Mbyte RAM, 37 Gbyte Hard disk. I would like to upgrade to OS X. Can anyone get me started on how I should go ab…

Just a quick question... My new PB15 is flawless(ish) and I can't be happier EXCEPT that the bottom right 2-3 keys on the keyboard were sticking up. As in raised above the height …

It's a common problem with these machines: poorly-installed keyboards. See, for example, these threads on Apple's boards: http://discussions.info.apple.com/We...2W.1@.599ba00d a…

Thanks bamchum. Seems my PowerBook isn't as perfect as I thought it was.

All of a sudden my DVD drive got VERY loud and is having issues with ejecting the disc. it also occasionaly puts marks on the disc. I replaced the drive with a NEW dvd drive, SAME…

I am a newbie Mac user, would the firmware be accessable via "software update"?

Nope, you'd maybe have to get it here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120019 Not entirely sure though, it's an old article.

Hi folks. Well, I've learned a lot in the month since switching but I need to ask a newbie question once again. Now that all of my eggs are in a portable/more fragile basket, I'd…

Hi, I have a Lacie external d2 120GB and it's a excelent equipment. It's my backup (misic, pictures, soft installers, etc, etc) and I install a panther to use when I need repair …

When I got my PB12 in October, I decided I needed a couple external drives - one for data (all those movies, photos and songs can really add up) and one for backup. I decided to ge…

Another vote for CCC, just be sure to get the latest version that's necessary for running with Panther.

Carbon Copy Cloner is without a doubt the best "bang for the buck" backup solution! Also, depending on how valuable your data is (e.g., work files, financial data etc.) be wary of …

Thanks for the responses guys. A question re: CCC. Lets say I've cloned my machine to an external drive with CCC then for whatever reason I put a new blank harddrive in my PB (due…

.Mac. is your friend. You can use the backup app to backup what you need to a drive or to Disc. Also with iSync your addressbook and Safari bookmarks are all backed up. IMO I do…

If you have Panther (which I assume your PowerBook came with) you don't even need CCC. Just boot from the system software DVD (not strictly necessary, but advisable) and when the …
