Hello, I would like to slow down my CD-ROM drive as for mosty uses a slower transfer-rate is acceptable, but the noise emitted by not perfectly round CD-ROMs (not shape CDs!) is q…

Does anyone know if there are any USB microphones for the ibook yet? I've heard rumors that they were supposed to be available from third party vendors but have yet to see them.

Be aware that you need Mac OS 9 to use USB microphones.

i love my new ibook! (i'am a pc convert) - the only problem is capturing still images from video footage. On my PC i used a Snappy and was able to capture images 1500 x 1200. I h…

My iBook screen has started completely freaking out and there are different colored lines appearing vertically on it when I start it. Any ideas kids?

If it still does it with extentions turned off (hold shift on startup). I'd take it in and get it fixed.

yeah, its a no go. its still screwed up

Yup, I've seen a couple of these. Apple won't let us fix them in shop; so we dispatch them to Apple for repair. Take your iBook to your nearest Apple authorized dealer and have i…

Thanks, I'll take it in.

"hawkmankt", Do the lines go away after you start up? I had a similar problem with my PowerBook G3. Vertical lines were on my screen, changing color and eventually dissapating. Yo…

Sean, Thanks for the advice. I hope you're kidding about the "kids" thing. Its just a slang term.

If Dave Letterman can say "kids" . . .

Geez Sean, take a valium...

heh

I'm having a similiar problem with my iBook but it usually goes away after the smiley Mac appears. On another note, I can't seem to watch VCDs in anything other than 256 colors. In…

"machaus", Okay, it was a joke, although quite on purpose. I was implying that I took slight offense to it and to refrain from saying that next time you post asking for help. Also…

hey i hate to bring this up but half the posts were rambling and incoherent also whats wrong with kids would you find "guys" incoherent and ramnling?

RAther than "kids" how about "ladies" either as used by Jerry Lewis (way back when, not recently) in a high pitched screech, or as used by the drill sargeant in Kubrick's "Full Met…

Yesterday imacintouch had a blurp on how Bob Varipapa got viavoice to work on the ibook using telex usb microphone, and some updates. I did most of what he said to do and now I am …

Nice going, Kathy!!! Please post any special problems your having as you work through it. I could have saved myself over a grand with the new PowerBook 2000 had I know this doable …

I am finding that I have to plug and unplug the telex microphone multiple times before the ibook recognizes it or viavoice can "hear" from it. I am going to try the USB SDK 1.4 ext…

I was also able to get ViaVoice with the Telex 531 to work with my ibook. The one task not specifically mentioned that I had to do was to upgrade to OS9 Audio 1.3. As soon as I d…

hi from New Zealand does anyone know is there is a way to actually use the airport slot under the keyboard as a PCMCIA slot? The airport card is a PC card - drivers from a g3 power…

well, most PCMCIA cards have some type of port on the end (either firewire, USB, or modem/ethernet) so IF one could be put in the iBook's airport slot, the keyboard would probably …
