I have an intel imac. I have a headphone with microphone set on my
windows PC. I wanted to use it on my imac, but was soon to discover that
it doesn't work.
Further research on google reveals that the audio input on macs needs

I installed a DVD reader in my G4 about three years ago.  It's now
about to die (I still can listen to CD's, although the sound is crappy,
but I can't view DVD movies anymore).  I'm in the market for a
replacement unit.  Ideally, I'd like to get an internal burner if the

My DSL was out for a couple of days, so I had to take my iBook to the
local coffee shops to connect to the Internet. I used a web interface to
send my POP email account at Earthlink. Now I'm wondering if there's any
way to get Apple Mail to retrieve the emails I sent, and store ...

As it goes, I'm looking for the most bang for the buck.

Hello.  I'm considering getting an iPod to use to play songs at
parties, but I would like to know if the iPod is capable of overlapping
the end of one song with the beginning of the next song, DJ style.  In

I have been starting to play a little with Garageband and I really like
it's interface and ease-of-use.

I'm thinking of selling my G4 Power Mac, and I'm trying to figure out
what hard drives I have in it (can't remember their capacities). The

of the drive, and below where it shows the name of the drive it says

Leopard only works on G4 Macs on up, with 256MB of ram as the minimum.

thought :)
The cutoff makes sense, especially since Leopard is still 8-10 months

I had one admin account with UID 507.  I have created a new one that has a
UID of 505, and I want to eventually delete the old one.
I have installed things in places like /Applications and /Library that are
owned by 507, which will no longer have an owner should the account be

On my iMac G5, the Pop Art setting in Photo Booth has become broken,
displaying only red and orange (so as a result, only the top right
corner is visible) - does anyone know how I can fix this? All of the
other settings function fine.

I put a pagemaker file on a jump drive and brought it to my PowerBook
G4. When I open up the folder it's in it just shows up as an exec file.
I have tried to open it with Pagemaker through the classic mode, but it
ain't happening. What do i need to do to read this file?

I use a new MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz Core Duo) at work. At home my son has
an old iMac DV (G3, 400 MHz). I'd like to set up iChat between the two
machines. My question: is it possible?

When I paste into Pico, it's like watching a snail crawl.
When I paste into vi, it's very quick.
Think 1200 baud modem slow. Literally.
Any idea what could be causing this? I'm not familiar enough with pico

Anyone know how to fix a Lacie Big Disk USB 2/Firewire 800/400
enclosure? Its the circuit board not the power supply. The drive spins
up but does not mount. The same drive works fine in another enclosure.
Peace

I recently purchased a Dell 1815 all-in-one. The software installation
seemed to go fine. I have the 1815dn option available in the Printer
Setup Utility.
