I recently upgraded from a PowerPC to an iMac. I had Piano Discovery (from Jump Music) on the Power Mac, which enabled me to hook up a their keyboard (or any General Midi keyboard)…

I have a 3button Belkin USB mouse and USB Overdrive but I can't seem to get the right mouse button to work in Virtual PC. Any ideas?

In the VirtualPC preferences panel you've got a page "mouse". You can there choose to simulate the Windows' right button with a ControlKey + Click or ShiftKey + Click and more. :-)

Thanks, but that doesn't work. Virtual PC doesn't seem to register the mouse click. I have to hold down the right button and then click with the left.

Has anyone heard any rumors or have wishes for someone to come up with a way to use Palm III's infared with the iMac's, or to use an infared keyboard with the iMac? Come on hackers…

Also, can it even be used with the digital cameras that also have the infra-red super technology?

No rumors heard but I have successfully connected with a PB 3400 through IR. I just followed instructions in MacOS help.

Check out MacPack 2 from Palm for the Palm III (and kin). You CAN do an IrDA sync now ... www.imac2day.com reported this article regarding sync'ng a Palm III: http://www.macland.…

Has anyone noticed that the fonts on the iMac don't appear as clearly as on the older models, ie. Mac IIci, Power Mac 7500/100? The fonts are kind of pixelated and are even worse w…

Yes, I have noticed that also but have discovered and heard of no solutions. It has even appeared that way even though I have tried all of the fonts available with the iMac. ----…

In the appearance controls panel under fonts there is an option to smooth screen fonts above a certain size, make sure that the smallest size is selected, I think that is 12 points…

I am running a 9.0.4 on a DVSE and my screen keeps flashing and then shrinking while i am using it. Help Please

Try trashing the monitors preferences file.

Is it cold? Cold air causes shrinkage! When mine shrinks, I warm it up with a girl. Oh yeah, what were you saying about a monitor or something?

and try the Display pref's file, trash it... but your monitor may be dying, powersupply or logicboard who knows

Ok well I tried deleting prefrences and warming my computer up but it is still doing its morphing trick. The screens horizontal gets bigger and vertical gets smaller or visavisa. H…

I seriously think I actually had that problem before. When you say shrinkage, do you mean that the monitor display is distorted into kind of like an "hourglass" shape? I may be abl…

My crazy screen keeps shape shifting not realy shpae but size. No not like an hourglass just so it is to far in screeen or to far out. I have been having to keeep using the geometr…

ok, zap your NVRAM. this is done the same way as a PRAM zap EXCEPT you must shut down your Mac, then start it up (after letting it chill for a few sec's) while holding down the Opt…

I tried zapping it and it appears to still be readjusting it self also when I hit the factory setttings button in the control monitor panel it gets smaller, not full screen. Maybe …

I have already had to get a new iMac already and will do so again only as a last resort. I posted in Apples tech forum. I am confused as to why it has just begun doing this?

is your iMac plugged into a surge protector or line conditioner, or is it plugged into the wall, or is it close to a fluorescent light or a dimmer or anything of this sort?

I do have it pluged into a surge protector and it is next to my tv. Once again thank you for your help.

well do try reorienting your tv or your Mac... move them away from each other and also try to use a power circuit for your Mac that is not being used by anything else
