I've had good success with GarageBand 2 on an iBook G3 900MHz with 640MB RAM, using it for one-track input and simple editing/podcasting. Anyone have any success with GB3 on a G3 i…

iLife would not install on my G3 iBook, but after installing it on my eMac I did copy iWeb over to the iBook, and it runs fine. iWork '06, though, didn't pop up any warnings and i…

So it looks like iWork '06 and iWeb run fine, while iPhoto 6 runs even faster on the G3 than iPhoto 5, but the editing mode doesn't work. The other applications would probably real…

Geez, just get a G4 already.

If you have a single G3 Mac, then it's probably a good idea to buy a G4, G5 or an Intel Mac. But if your family owns 5 G3 Macs which are only used for iTunes, iPhoto, word processi…

G4 Upgrades for oldworld Mac's are pretty cheap on eBay.

All, I have a Dual G5 1.8 and I'm looking for basic TV tuner capabilties from my cable. I don't need any TiVo like abilities. Rather, I just want to be able to pop up a window o…

I have an AlchemyTV PCI card in my Dual 1.8 G5, but it is the one w/o the builtin TV Tuner (I use my VCR as a tv tuner). When I bought my AlchemyTV card, I was told that the one w…

Hey, I had the Miglia card and it will now work with a G5! You can get them Very inexpensively and it is GREAT for watching TV. On my G4 it wasn't powerful enough to be a DVR and…

For some while (at least 10.4.3 and 10.4.4) I have been having an odd problem trying to print from my G4 iMac to my HP PhotoSmart 7550, directly connected via USB. When I try to p…

Maybe deleting the printer and adding it again solves the problem. Yeah, I know: it seems a Windows answer, but it solved me some printing problems in the past.

I'm having the same problem as well when I first connected my printer to my Mac. Help?

Try Printer Setup Repair and see if it helps. As it is a HP, does it use the dread HP Communications process at all? If so, that could be the source of the problem too (e.g. it pr…

Have you actually tried to use the drivers from HP for the printer? (If that link doesn't work, go to the HP home page and search the Driver download page for your printer).

This problem is caused by the HP photosmart software. To print using GIMP, simply lose the HP software, but it'll stop you using the "card reader" on the printer if that model has…

I don't have a PhotoSmart printer. I have an HP DeskJet 930. I think I might have fixed it, though.

Thank you so much for the hint. I was having trouble printing last three weeks with my laserjet 1200 connected to my new G5, with MacOs10.4.6. Simply by getting rid of the HP-fo…

Being an MS beta tester, I have a copy of Vista 5270.. as I understand it, this OS fully supporst EFI. However, I don't fully understand EFI. Additionally, I've never bothered to…

OK - Good luck! Remember that the iPod needs to be connected via FW to be bootable. David.

I'm betting it doesn't boot due to some sort of driver issues.

I don't think Windows can boot from a USB/Firewire drive. I'm almost certain XP can't, maybe they've added this to Vista?
