Someone mentioned that Apple publishes take-aparts on all their products. Not true. There is no take apart published on the Service Source website(the site for certified techs) for…

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

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…

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…

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 …

It isn't a PCMCIA slot; it's an IDE port. I didn't know that anyone still called it PCMCIA. (You know the joke.)

well - i read that the airport was a std lucent OEM pcmcia card - i want to be able to mount a pc flashcard from my prof. digital camera actually - no port issues - it fits ok - i'…

Badcat: I'd like to find a PCMCIA reader for USB, too, but I have 2MB SRAM cards. I know the Antec reader sold by Outpost doesn't work (I'm sending one back now) but I don't know …

To clarify: the Antec reader doesn't work with SRAM cards, though ATA flash and others should be OK. It's a well-made piece of equipment, and the tech support at Antec is first-cl…

From what I understand, the Airport <b>Card</b> is IDE, but the Airport <b>Base Station</b> actually contains a Lucent CardB…
