I am trying to find any information about the meaning of the stop symbol on startup when the machine refuses to boot. Is it a bad RAM symbol or bad boot blocks on the drive? This i…

both are Lombards w/384 RAM. Once the Apple comes up on the screen it quickly displays a stop symbol and simply freezes. It will boot off the CD with the c key down and I did run D…

I'm currently trying to fix a friend's computer with the same problem. It is a dual G4/450 (with jaguar and classic partitions). I get the stop symbol both booting off the OS X p…

I just set up a separate machine for my wife and daughter (G3 box running 10.3.2). I created an admin account for myself and managed accounts for them. During setup I selected cert…

Never mind, problem solved. I rebooted and it behaved. Should've done that first thing. J.

i know i had a month to send pb in for repair. they sent a box out the day after i contacted support. turns out i couldn't part with it until after that 1 month period. haven't had…

Same box/ case #, I've waited as long as 8 months (p.o.s. pbook 12" rev. A). Just kept using my old 15".

so i don't need to worry about calling apple again? i can just send it on in the box the originally sent? thanks for the help.

I kept my box over 3 months, and ended up walk it into an Apple Store when I got back from school, but I seem to remember the Apple guy on the phone telling me that after a month, …

thanks, i'm going to call tomorrow and see what the deal is. it's hard to let it go though.

As another data point, i just sent my 12" in again after waiting a few months with the same box, and it came back 2 days later. No call in or anything. And it looks like it might a…

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. Long time PC user who recently got into Macs. Got a desktop G4 to try out and loved it, so I got a G5. Last Friday, I decided to replace my…

the problems with DreamweaverMX2004 seem to be macromedia problems. It runs terribly slow in both Jaguar and Panther. Seems to be nothing but bloatware. Pickup a copy of the pre…

I've got the 1.25 GHz Al and the 550 MHz Ti both paid for with other people's money, so I don't get too worried about having to send them off to early retirement. If I were really…

Remember, Apple sells a couple of million macs per year, and you don't hear from 99% of the happy users. You hear from the small percentage of people who are upset about somethin…

jasonsRX7, I may be in the process of switching as well, though my trajectory is the opposite of yours (started with a PB, seriously considering a G5). Until my 12" PB arrived 2 …

I wouldn't worry too much about the bad problems you read about on the forums... most should have already been taken care of, so chances are you'll have a good machine. I got an …
