I'm going to reinsall the OS for my G3 iMac and I have the original disk
but am wondering, what is the difference between the iBook/iMac?  I have
the OS-9 which came with the iBook and it's a cd not a dvd, so can I
install it on the iMac?

I have a customer that picked up 7 G3s from his school district that
were on the list of computers to be retired.  They have a password on
them, and no one knows at the school what the password was.  How do I
go in and reset the password to a default or remove it altogether.

What apps are you using to connect to your phone and back up the phonebook?
OnSync won't work with my phone. Confirmed with author that I'm at a dead end
with that solution.

I have an ibook G3  128MB  600MHz , since i've been importing cds and
downloading music onto my ibook, its being taking up memory, so now I
have 291 songs on my itunes and it says "disk full' AND it can't
download any more music. Please help me! Now i only have  191 MB.

Now that this machine is rebuilt and everything looks fine, I'm having the
same problem with Hogwasher that I had before.  Trying to set it to get all
msgs from all groups and download them all in one connection.  Had this
working before and it doesn't seem to be happening now.

on its way out (dropped connections out of the blue--when I connect

Avast, ye scurvy dogs!

Has anybody managed to get OS X to print via Bluetooth to Belkins
printer adapter? When I tell Bluetooth on my iBook to find Bluetooth
printers it can discover this printer adapter. But when I select it and
click continue an error appears saying no printer drivers were found.

A friend just bought a new G5 and wants to retrieve his old Mail
messages from a G4 Mac with Jaguar on it. What's the easiest (or safest)
way of doing this. He has an external drive he can use as an
intermediary device.

I am using an AirPort Express as a bridge between a wired and wireless
network.  I have a Powerbook (wireless) and a G4 desktop (wired).  My
internet connection comes in through a Linksys router to which I have
an AirPort Express connected to create a wireless network.  Before

This is about an iBook G3 300MHz model 406 (clamshell). I have added
recently an Airport card inside it. Problem: the range is about 2 meters
from the wifi router. Short, isn't it? within that range the connection is
OK, so I guess the software is OK.

Howdy,
If anybody can help, or even just make an educated guess, I'd sure
appreciate it.
Recently, I realized that sending certain faxes from my computer would

Hi. I'm trying to connect an old G3 beige (G3 tower/333MHz/OS 8.6) Mac
to my Airport Extreme Base Station. I plugged it into the LAN port on
the base station, and in OS 8.6's TCP/IP control panel, I selected
"Connect via Ethernet" and "Configure using DHCP server."
