How could one possibly complain about a lack of sound from the modem dialing? That has to be one of the more annoying sounds on God's green earth.

Some people like that sound, I suppose. I like it because I can tell what protocol the connection is using. Sometimes, I will cancel the connection if the line isn't giving me the…

seanyepez, THANKS!!!! I saw internal modem was selected but the audio "Waves" weren't next to it so I selected it again and it worked! Thanks! Now I can finally cancel if I k…

Mike, I'm glad to be of service! http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/biggrin.gif

I can get my Powerbook to display the DVD movie on the TV but I can't quite figure out how to get the Audio to work... I have the cords running through the VCR and it's set to AV …

If memory serves me correctly, you can't run your lines to your TV via a VCR. They must run directly to the TV. If yours is the new Pismo it should come with an S-Video to RCA conn…

also dont forget mini plug to rca connection so you can get audio out to home entertainment system.well hope that helps. http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif

I run the audio from the headphone port on my Pismo directly to my VCR, because I have an older TV with no direct video or audio in (there's only the RF in) Unfortunately, I get th…

I think I've posted something like this on another topic, "Can't watch DVD on a TV" I think, but here goes anyway. As far as I am aware S-video only uses 4 pins: 1 - Ground (LUM.)…

Well I have watched many DVDs with my Pismo connected through my VCR, absolutely no problems at all. The composite/SVHS output of the Pismo does not include audio, so you have to …

All rught , i got my new PBG4 550 about two weeks ago...was perfect checked for dead/stuck pixel, didnt find any at that time...no problems whatsoever actually. Anyway, i noticed a…

Some pixels are dark pixels and some are light pixels. Souds like you have a broken dark pixel.. Same thing on my last Powerbook... You can't massage a dead dark pixel back to lif…

Some pixels won't respond to massaging. Sorry!

Hi all I'm new to PB's so please forgive me if this is obvious. OK here's the story: I have an old PB 1400c which has system 8 installed. Unfortunately, the system is corrupted…

Hold apple (command) C while booting up from your original OS8 cd. That will do the trick.

Thanks for the info mate! I wish I could say it worked, but it didn't. I wonder if my CD drive is bung. any other offers anyone? BTW Is there any way I can just erase the HD…

You can wipe the HDD and start over again, but to do that you need another system disk to boot from. For you this means a CD I'm afraid. Have you tried holding down the option ke…

You can use an external scsi drive to boot from or you can use a scsi buddy (with a docking switch) to dock your PB with another mac to reformat & install a new system folder. …

Hi there Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll keep playing and see how I go. At least I have a couple of options open via the SCSI port! Cheers

is this normal? i don't think it is. i mean, i open the lid to wak from sleep and the fan goes on. i can't be 100% sure about this but i don't think this was always the case, it …

I bet it's your hard drive. My Ti 400 had a really loud hard drive that sounded like a fan. Try running iTunes with the visualizer on until the fan REALLY comes on and you wil…

I'd recommend the Tilt 'n Tote handle for the TiBook. I was pretty concerned about the heat/fan issue when I first got my TiBook and it *was* pretty hot (esp. over the "SDF" are o…
