I'm hoping this is the correct group to ask this question, if not, please
advise and I'll post elsewhere if necessary.
I've been given an old Performa 475 and 14" monitor. It wasn't booting

This seems to be a common occurrence, people deleting files then syncing
up their Ipod, only to find files that were deleted on the computer were
deleted on the Ipod too. But I have a different story.
I have a 4th generation 40 Gb Ipod, with about 2.5 Gb of songs

Hey there -
Basically, I'm having problems with my iPod. When I connect it to the
computer, it will not appear on the desktop or iTunes, and will only
recharge the battery. I have tried different firewire cables, and

I recently bought an 8 drive firewire enclosure, 4 - IDE to Firewire
bridge boards (not a RAID box).
I have put 8 hitachi 250g drives into. -
As per instructions, I setup all drives as cable select.

I am interested in purchasing the 3rd Gen 15gig version or the Apple

Canopus (ADVC analog/digital converter manufacturer) has not given me
any useful suggestions. Perhaps someone can suggest why my Mac G4 867

I have a B&W G3 and a Centris 650 and I'm soon to get a new G5. I want
to network these machines so they can all access our broadband

If I get an ethernet hub with a built-in ADSL modem I assume it will

I am running OS 10.2.8 on an 18 GB SCSI HD ID:1 ( boot ) and OS 9.2.1 on a
4.5 GB SCSI ID:0 ( shell ) on a Power Macintosh 8600 with 480 MB of memory &

Hello.  Perhaps some folks out there are familiar with the ol' Mac
Performa 6214.  My mom's got one, and it has 24 MB RAM, with a 1 GB
hd.  She's using diskettes, but those are becoming obsolete.  Anyone
know if there's some way it could support access to a USB flash drive?

Anyone know how I can get a Smart and Friendly CD-R 8020 to work in a beige
266 G3?  (their site identifies no Mac drivers at all)
I put it in and it is reported in profiler as a SCSI CD with no mounted
volume in it.  I can't imagine there is a way of mounting a volume in it (or

I need some information regarding using two flat panel monitors on a
Power Mac G4 867 Mhz, likely with one with a DVI and the other with an
ADC connection. The basic issue boils down to this; the in-house
"expert" states that the AGP 8X cards will not work because the

I just recieved my brand new iPod mini, and I was not impressed by the
quality. I bought it from Dixons online, in the UK.
For a start, there was some glue on the click-wheel, very dificult to

I'm trying to connect my Hyperpen 12000U to my PowerBook with 10.3.5
