I'm running Logic Express 7. In an effort to free up a little
hard-drive space, I deleted GarageBand and it's application support
folder (which was taking up 2.5 gigs). I suspected this could be a
problem if Logic uses some of GarageBand's resources/loops/etc., but I

I am updating to new 15.2 PowerBook, as I am running out of memory on
my iBook and wanted a slightly larger screen. I was hoping to sell my
older iBook on eBay, but would like determine what is it worth before
listing there. At one time there used a sight on the web that would

I have a friend who says his iBook's screen has stopped working. I have
no more information than that at this point so please bare with me.  I
know that with PCs you can boot in Safe Mode to determine if the

My 3+ yr-old iBook power-adapter cord is starting to wear at the rubber

some podcasts and assumed they were causing this... but I don't think
that's true. If I let my iPod fall asleep (leave it in paused for a few
minutes) it wakes right up with a click of a button... BUT, when I

I recently did an archive and reinstall of OS X (10.4) and I'm
wondering if it's safe to delete the archived system (everything in the
"Previous Systems" folder).
Anyone know?

Recently, I went on a week long vacation away from home.  So I set up a
cheapo monitoring system to make sure my pet turtle is OK by using an
inexepensive USB cam and my old dual usb ibook (circa 2001, running os
9.2). The software (Stripcam) ftp'd an image to my website every few

I have a 20 GB if I do not connect it to the laptop within about a week
it skips my purchased music.
Do the rights expire and need to be renewed? or do I have a bug?
Thanks,

So it's not titanium!!! It's just painted to look like it.
Yes, my 3+ year old TI PB's paint started to peel at the bottom left corner.
I swear I never abused, dropped, or otherwise mistreated it.
I wonder if it started to peel exactly the day after my extended warranty

The app' which allows an OS X user to create a RAM disk in software
seems like a very good idea for some Mac users.
(dual G5 users and powerbook users, with lots of RAM)

I have a USB hard drive that I pulled from my Linux laptop that I'm trying
to get working with my new iBook. It requires 2 USB connections, power and
data and is a ViPower enclosure.
1. I connected it to my Linux desktop and deleted all partitions.
