How long do the batteries last on a Mac laptop running OSX? 2.5hrs

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. …

Once I got over the fact that my beautiful Powerbook was chipped I stopped worrying about it. Like wrinkles and grey hair, chips add character

I have a few small scratches on the lid of my TiBook. I would love to touch those up, but it seems this kit is just for the outside rim, not the "Titanium" part. Hmph.

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 would guess it's your HD as well. My TiBook is almost dead quiet when on w/o the fan, I have to put my ear to ear to tell sometimes. Taking off the keyboard is actually a good tr…
