Why not take a picture of the camera using a mirror?

'm having problems connecting to a Socks proxy using iChat. I know the socks proxy does work (I'm using it now) I know it does connect to AIM since It works fine using AdiumX. Her…

There are bugs in iChat that cause it to be unable to connect to localhost as a proxy. - proton

Damn! Will using my current LAN ip address work? (I don't have my laptop handy to try.)

I tried using my current IP address instead of "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" and that didn't help. My current workaround is to use Adium instead of iChat.

Hey all: Got a question: I've got a relatively new Powerbook 12-inch and a 2x2 G5. The Powerbook has one of the best feeling keyboards I've ever typed on, and the keyboard that c…

I've purchased two Macally Icekey keyboards for the purpose of duplicating the feel of a powerbook keyboard. It's close, but not quite. Having USB connectors is convenient, thoug…

I like PowerBook keyboards, too. Go to a CompUSA and look at what they've got: there are a few Logitech models that use laptop keys. I personally have a Kensington SlimType, which …

I've got 2 of the Kensington SlimType models and love them. I originally bought one, and have since switched all my systems to this keyboard.

I definitely like my G4 PowerBook's keyboard a lot better. I miss it a lot now that I have my Power Mac G5. I bought the MacAlly IceKey in hopes of getting the same feel as my Powe…

The SlimType's keys are about equally stiff as those of the PowerBook -- they sound a bit more clackety, though. The PowerBook and desktop keyboards have identical key size and sp…

I got a MM for $50 not too long ago, and now the scroll wheel broke. It scrolls down, but it doesn't scroll up. Is there anything I can do about it? Thanks in advance.

Yup, call apple and get them to send you a new one. I had my second one bust on me a week ago. Both mice scroll wheels break scrolling in one direction after a few months.

Bummer. Is this like a widespread issue?

Try cleaning the scroll-ball with a microfiber cloth, or slightly dampened paper towel. Did the trick for me.

Happens here as well. Scrolling down has become damn unreliable. Let's hope they revise the internals before too long

I'm willing to bet these things don't make it over 1.5 years.

I brought it to work in my bag, and when I got to work it worked! Yipee! Perhaps bouncing around in my bag helped it somehow...

I've used some isopropyl alcohol to clean the scroller ball. Fixed a stuck roller several times now.

Mine flakes out every now and again - won't scroll down. I find if I press the ball while rolling down, it'll come back to life, and then be fine for weeks...

Mine just flaked out and wouldn't scroll down. I googled and got this link and this thread! Holding the mouse upside down and rolling the ball against the mouse mat worked for me.

Not quite a double post, I wrote that in Quick Reply and the page froze, so I found the thread and the post was there but it didn't update the thread to the top of the list, so I p…
