Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / January 2005

I bought a fancy new hub on the weekend.
It is a Kensington half round 7 port hub (one on the top for memory sticks
etc).
When I tried it on my Mac it did not work properly.

Since April-May of '04, many Apple portable users have experienced
"sudden battery failure". My battery was 18 months old and went from 3+
(4+?) hours service to 30 minutes. My iBook suddenly falls asleep
without the usual low-power warning.

  Another MacWorld Expo has come and gone with no new laptop advances
announced (not that anyone was expecting one).  But I find it notable
that I can't remember the last time it took Apple so long to get a new
advanced chip into its line of laptop offerings.  When g3 came out, ...

I'm in need of the adapter for my PB, the AC Adapter model number
is; M1893.  Either post to this newsgroup or reply to

I changed my Hard drive from a 4 GB to an 18 GB Travelstar (I posted early
about using it). I have partitioned it to a 7.7 GB and a 9.2 GB. I installed
9.2 on the 7.7 GB and ran the 10.1.4 install (same way I did with my old
drive) but this time, the 10 X install will not detect my ...

* Can you BOOT OS 9.2 from an USB Flash Pen Drive? And run the whole Mac
from a USB Pen Drive?

OK, here's what I did. My business has 3 new iBook G4s and I have been
configuring them. I'm fairly new to OSX (learning fast since November) so I
still do ignorant things sometimes.
I had iBook A plugged into an Ethernet hub in a particular port. I finished

I do have an ibook with airport extreme integrated, the wizard from the
beginning failed because I had to select WEP 40bit ASCII for authentication.
I'd configured the WLAN connection manualy and saved the passwort.
Unfortunately I did not get an connection while booting the ...

saw this on a forum and had the same question too.  btw, I have OSX10.3
What program on the apple will deal with files like:
apple.dmg.001.001
apple.dmg.001.002

You probably know about the website www.freeipods.com
Now there ist a website that gives away an Apple iBook G4 when you
purchase a cell-phone-booster for 40$.<p>

Good Day.
I've got a couple (dearly loved) ibooks (g3s, 700 & 800) that both bit the
dust over the holidays. I bought both used and don't have original
reciepts for either though their serial #s would seem to suggest that

All,
I have a 15" 1.25 GHz PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.3.7
I recently acquired an Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Upon initial
installation, they were both easily discovered and worked flawlessly.

Ok I've had a G3 iBook600 combo I've loved for a few years, and recently
bought an iBook G4 (1gH) which I like also, but here's a few things I've
noticed:
The G4 has a cheesier looking and feeling interior casing, keyboard,

Recently (could be about when I allowed software update to move me to
10.3.7, but I'm not positive about that) my Powerbook 17 started not
displaying the mouse pointer when I hook my (sleeping) Powerbook to my 23"
Cinema display.  The Cinema display activates, but no mouse pointer.

Actually it's not the latest, it's the 1gig "iBook G4," but I got a good
deal on it.  But I noticed this hard drive is much noisier than that of
my G3 iBook 600--a lot of "clacking" noise when it kicks in, whirring,
etc. not really loud or anything, just noticeable relative to ...
