the beeping alone would make me think logic board. either way, it doesn't sound like anything I could tell you a quick-fix for.

I've experience similar freezes on a brand new dual 1.8Ghz G5 (with 10.3.2). I get the same second or two of looped sound that continuously repeats. I've been doing some looking,…

my g4 does this too lol.. You sure the beeping isn't because you're holding down the power button on bootup? I'm positive it's the RAM, myself... because my machine's motherboard…

like the iPod mini? could happen, but maybe this is a baaad idea.

I don't think colored PowerBook would help sales at all. Most people (Pros especially) already love the Al finish as it is. Colored iBook was available for a while, did they help…

there is already a thread here..

yes...maybe bad idea

User customizable covers are already available for some powerbooks/books: http://www.macskinz.com/

I recently (november) did a clean install of panther on my PB. I have put a lot of programs on there that are pretty big (final cut, dvd studio, other creative apps) and the compu…

How often do you run the cron jobs? If your computer is turned off every night and started up in the morning, chances are (unless you have changed the settings for cron) that they …

Try running top in terminal or use Activity monitor to see what is using your cpu%. I have seen WeatherPop go whacked and suck up all remaining cpu time. For that reason, I quit us…

MacJanitor seems to have cleared up the issues. I put my laptop to sleep at night so I was missing all cron jobs. thanks.

you can also change the time the cron jobs run. No need to add yet another program to do this for you in terminal, you can type: sudo pico /etc/crontab then put in the admin pa…

I am looking into some external Hard drives and was can't remember if I have USB 2.0 or not, how can I find out? Thanks!

If your processor is 1.33 Ghz ( aka. rev. B) then you have it, otherwise you have standard USB. You can check that under about this mac that is under the blue apple at the top lef…

Edited

If you go under system profiler and click USB in the left hand menu it will tell you. It'll say something like USB USB Highspeed USB

I am in the market for an external Hardrive with around 160GB +- either Firewire or USB2.0, and was looking at SmartDisk (non-firelite) and La Cie. Anyone have any of these produ…

Hey, I have a new 15" Al PB that won't charge when plugged in. Its fully plugged in and is only about a couple months old. I'm not sure why its not charging. I haven't tried much c…

Long shot: Try Cmd-Opt-O-F at startup. Then type reset-nvram, and hit the Return key, and then type reset-all. This is something I have come across in my travels, not something I…

I am also assuming that the charge is below 95%, as they won't charge when higher than this level.

I think it may be the ac adapter for it. I'll go to my local apple store.

I'm going to bet it's the AC adapter, I'm on my third one. They don't seem to be the best quality. The one I have now makes a humming noise when it's charging. Good news is Apple c…
