I bought the new airport extreme base station. While it says I need
Tiger (Mac OS 10.4) to set it up, it still works right out of the box.
I have ethernet connecting it to two computers, and an airport card in
my G4 laptop. All of these computers get access to the DSL connection

I have a 300kbps LAME VBR MP3 that exhibited the warbling so well
documented in many discussions.  I'd never noticed it before, though I
recently upped my LAME settings from alt-preset-standard to the 300
average.

Some of my disks (or rather volumes) have developed an "invalid leaf
record count". Disk Utitlity even states what the count should be, but
if I have it repair the disk it cannot fix this (though it always says
the disk was repaired succesfully).

I've had my Mighty Mouse for about a year, but today
it started doing something odd.   When I place my
finger on the top of the shell -- where the left
click button is -- it often does a click, without

I've got a program that's created a . (that's a point) [filename] in my
User folder. I want to delete it so I can re-install fresh. How do I
make it visible? Thanks.

My Classic environment will no longer launch; the launching progress bar
starts for a few seconds, then disappears.  I've read the 10.4.9 update
may have affected the ability to start Classic.  I've tried starting
with no extensions, rebuilding dt, reinstalling from cd and ...

I have a workgroup comprising an XP desktop, XP laptop and OS X 10.3.9
Powerbook.
I want the desktop to be the master browser on the network at all times. I
can edit the laptop registry to tell it not to "maintain a browser list", so

I am trying to print from a MacG4 PowerPC w/OS 10.4.9 to an Epson Stylus
Color 800 Inkjet connected via printer port (8 pin mini-din serial
connection) on a beige MacG3 PowerPC w/OS 9.2.2.  The computers are ethernet
networked via a Linksys router. I am able to mount all of my ...

My daughter came home with her iBook G4 800mz, airport extreme card. Every
time I try to hook her up to my wireless network, Linksys router, I get an
error. I see the network under the airport icon in the top bar. I select the
network, it comes up to put in the WEP password. I ...

The power adapter on my G3 powebook was crushed the other day by some
unknown force.  Considering I'm hoping to get a new computer sometime
within the next 9 months, I don't really want to spend a lot on a new
one.

Hey All,
A coworker just dropped off his Lacie external 250GB (FAPorsche)
Firewire drive that won't mount. Apparently, "his wife" inadvertently
unplugged it while it was busy and it hung up some apps and the

First thanks for the help with my question from the other day, you

I have been reading up and feel comfortable and ready to replace the
hard drive that came with my macbook with a larger version...except
