I have no clue what all that technical stuff means. Eek. I guess I should educate myself before I make a purchase.
Basically: a new one of similar storage and memory is $300+ more than I'm asking. I think its a fair price. Its a fast machine that can burn DVDs and can hold lots of music and pictures.
it also comes with leopard (of course), cs3 design premium, iwork 08, ilife 08, etc.

how full is the hard drive? they also slow down with age in general. its almost assuredly a 4200 RPM drive, so replacing the HD with a new one would offer a significant improvement, especially if you went to a 7200 RPM drive.
i think that pretty much all modern powerbooks topped out at 2 gigs of ram, the more you have the better.
but in the end, its still almost 4 years old in an industry that double in speed every year and a half, ya know? (this post coming to you from a iBook G4 c. 2005)

yeah, totally. I wasn't sure if there were any disk clean ups or anything of that nature that may help speed it up.
I plan on buying a new one next spring so I'm not looking to put any money into this one.
right now: 1gb of ram and 18.6gb free on the HD.
I'm definitely going with 4gbs of ram and a 7200 rpm HD on my next laptop.

making a duplicate copy is a common way to back up. it has the advantage that you can boot from it, migrate data out of it into a system, etc. disadvantage is that you have only one snapshot.
regardless, easiest thing for a single computer: time machine. just plug it in and let it do its thing.

honestly, noone who knows anything like that is anywhere near the public and isn't going to spill the beans. i'd guess it would take at least a few months from a new release for refurbs to start showingup.

If you've got $129 you can spare for a few minutes, walk into the store and buy a battery. Leave, swap them (put the old busted one back in the box), and go return it.
We used to do that all the time to take care of customers who couldn't get an appointment and stuff, swapping power adapters, batteries, chargers, cases... but they kinda clamped down on it. So just do it yourself.

OK so I basically can't put my computer to sleep or shut it down, because it's having problems waking back up. Sometimes it takes 5+ minutes, sometimes nothing and I have to restart it several times. It's an iMac that's a year old was top of the line when I bought it.
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
186 GB free memory
So I guess it's taking longer and longer for the computer to recognize the startup disk. Does this mean it's slowly shitting the bed and most likely might never wake up sometime soon?

I doubt its shitting the bed, but something's probably wonky. Try disabling Safe Sleep [www.macosxhints.com] » and re-enabling it and see if its still wonky.

Also, the same 'not able to shut down' thing happens with my xbox. should I just stop owning THINGS
Archive and Install, select "Preserve Users and Network Settings", and it should be minimally disruptive.

- I want to get more memory for my macbook pro. It's a 2.33 intel core 2 duo. Where should I buy it and what kind should I get. Right now I have 2-1GB cards. Do I have 4 slots, or do I have to get rid of these and buy two new 2GB cards? Also, these are 667 Mhz, do they make faster ones? Thanks.

OtherWorld Computing [macsales.com] » is the best, IMO.
You've got 2 slots in there, so you'll have to remove the 2x1GB sticks. I'm pretty sure that's as fast as the memory controller goes, so faster memory isn't going to make a difference.

Hey TOIM can you help me pick out a fairly cheap video card for my aging G5? I just got a 1920x1200 HD monitor and if I want to use Color in FCP I need to upgrade from the stock card that came with my puter in 2005.
Here's my specs:
Model Name: Power Mac G5
Model Identifier: PowerMac7,3
Processor Name: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 2
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 6 GB
Bus Speed: 1 GHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.1.8f7
I bought a cheapo Radeon 2400 pro card, but it seems to not work when I put it in a slot.
Thanks in advance dude!

when it comes to the grey screen, does the Apple logo appear? does the spinner appear beneath the Apple logo? does it keep spinning forever, or does it spin, then freeze?
anyway, might as well start with...
reset pram - hold apple-option-p-r immediately after pressing the power button, until it chimes a 3rd time
reset open firmware hold apple-option-o-f immediately after pressing the power button, until it dumps you to a grey screen with white text. type reset-nvram and press return. type reset-all and press return. the machine should reboot.

if its getting to the spinner, and not freezing, its hopefully just the software. could be the hard drive too.
try booting into Open Firmware again (apple-option-o-f), insert your install disc, type "multi-boot" and press enter, and let me know what happens.

I'm all of a sudden experiencing some weird problems regarding AIM video chat through iChat. When I initiate a chat, I see myself just fine while the connection is being established. Once the connection is initiated, when you would normally hear the "swoosh" sound and see your own image shrunk to the corner of the screen, I hear the "swoosh" but my image remains the only thing I can see -- I never see the other person, although I can hear them just fine. Whoever is on the other end can hear AND see me just fine.
This problem is occurring through both AIM and Jabber, and half-a-dozen people with both protocols have been tested with.
I have already tried moving which ports AIM is communicating on, I have deleted/recreated any relevant plists, I have deleted my account and re-added it, ensured that ingress settings weren't suddenly changed on my router, all to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? This problem started about a week ago for no discernible reason. I assumed it was just a glitch and would go away the next time I rebooted the machine, but it hasn't.
Thanks in advance.

First step is to see if other USB devices still work on those ports. Then you know if it's cable/HD or something on the powerbook side of things.
this.
also, check Disk Utility and System Profiler to see if they detect a device, but just don't show the volume for it.

okay, i think i narrowed it down to it definitely being a problem with the hard drive.
1. i plugged in a thumb drive and my computer acknowledged it just fine.
2. i plugged in my damn mbox and that worked. the mbox and the hd use the same kind of cable and i tried plugging in the mbox with the hd's cable and vice versa. in the first instance, the mbox still worked and when i plugged in the hard drive with the mbox's cable, it still didn't show up. so it's definitely the hard drive. luckily, everything on it is backed up, so whatever.
my NEW question is: i am kind of new to Macs, and mine is currently being kind of sluggish. with my PC, there was all sorts of little bullshit tricks you could do to optimize performance, but i don't know what any of them are for a mac. so is there like, a disk defrag or that sort of thing?
i am pretty much 50% totally computer dumb.

AppleCare for a MacBook Pro is $349 ($239 edu). Technically, once the damage is noticed and in the system, AppleCare is pretty much out the window. Sometimes, Geniuses or repair depot techs will fix other things under the plan in spite of the damage, but its a slim chance.

You should always have a spare admin account that you never use.
Ideally, you'd run in a non-admin account for day-to-day use, and use the admin account's credentials to install software, updates, etc.
But mostly, you can log in to that other account to see if issues persist, or are localized to your specific login.

So, I'm thinking we can probably just reconfigure your syslog to ignore the message. Either that or replace what reports syslog errors with a script that ignores those messages but passes the rest along.
I'd be willing to try for ya, but I can't promise anything.

plug power and the monitor into the laptop, turn it on, close the lid, plug in a keyboard and mouse, boom, ready to go on the external display.
if the dell has dvi, use that, straight into the mbp. if it only has vga, use the adapter.

Any external drive formatted as HFS+ (Extended) will work great for Time Machine. You can also back up via Time Machine to an AFP share of a drive hosted by a Leopard machine.
a Time Capsule is a way to do network-based backups without another computer, but it is notoriously buggy and problematic. it is the only way to do a network-based backup via Time Machine without another computer.
Current-generation Time Capsules also support simultaneous dual band 802.11n. They'll broadcast separate networks on 2.4GHz and 5GHz, so the low speed stuff doesn't interfere with newer, 5GHz equipment. They come in three sizes: 2TB [bit.ly] » , 1TB [bit.ly] » , and 500GB [bit.ly] » . Also, MacMall has the old 500gb [bit.ly] » model, which can do only one network at a time, for a steep discount.

so its not a hardware issue, but something's f'd up. if its an iMac G4 or G5 then you can try resetting the open firmware, too. intel macs don't have OF.
did a little digging, and it looks like the most common solution is in fact the trusty archive and install, so dig up those install discs and then spend half a day downloading updates :p

You'd have to get just the right drive for it to work, there's a pretty specific adapter board in there that connects to the MLB on one end, and the drive on the other. Service parts are almost always $TEXAS.
It would probably be easier or cheaper to find a disk image of the retail installer for the OS you have, and load it onto an external hard drive.

Keep in mind that these tell you about the current retail market, not really anything about the used side of things.

no employee that I knew when I was working at the Store would buy refurb, and we used to complain about them breaking more often, but AppleCare will always take care of it, and we didn't see them very often at the 'Bar.
on the flip side, if it breaks more, then you'll get to 3 major repairs, and thus a replacement, sooner!

it can help to get an idea of how old a refurb machine is, if you catch it at the wrong time, you could end up with a refurb model a couple generations back.

they mean its good to buy a new one.
i'm not sure what model that refurb is, I haven't been paying attention to them very closely.
if, for example, you were to check the buyer's guide just after a new one was released, it would say its a good time to buy, but it is possible a refurb would be 2 generations old--previous to the model just replaced. that would be a bad thing, imho.

anything you get new or refurb from apple is going to be a solid machine for a good while, like your g4 has been (hopefully)
the main thing you'd run into is that they probably wouldn't lower the pricing on a refurb when they lower the price on the discontinued model, so you'd be paying the same as a new one. they tend to take a while to adjust prices like that.

hard drive is either loose, or dead. remove the battery, and the L-shaped bracket inside (there are 3 small screws, but they don't come completely loose so you can't lose them). there'll be a plastic tab on the end, pull that to slide the hard drive out, and then slide it back in firmly, and give it a shot.

I think these would probably be cooler as some sort of art-displayer project than as actual monitors. You could hang them on your wall and pump some sort of simple image into them to be displayed. This could be especially cool if you did some kind of diptych or triptych with them.

I would like to once again thank Apple for yet another overpriced product that broke 3 days after my warrantee expired. Thanks!
The headphone jack on my iphone is jacked. whenever it moves at all the makes a wonderful explosion of static sound and then most of the levels drop out.

dude, its cracked.
physical. damage.
that doesn't just happen. yea, its reasonable to expect it to take a few knocks, but i've beat the shit out of 2 iPhones so far, and they haven't done anything like that. one even got pretty torn up and some of the case broke off around the headphone jack.
take care of your expensive shit, or it'll break.

if you've never dropped it, how has it broken? just through the magic powers of planned obsolescence?
also: what annieb said.

- headphone jacks in the macbooks are likely the sensor switch inside that toggles the optical output giving out. i've seen them get stuck in optical mode, too, just due to software, they seem dead except the red light is on.

Well, since this is my third apple product in a row (ipod, imac, iphone) that has shit the bed literally within 1 week after the 1 year warrantee ran up, i'm beginning to think that is true. Luckily I bought apple care for my imac.

Did you pull this one straight from the shitty phone customer service handbook? Things just break all the time, usually due to poor manufacturing or sub par materials. Like the shitty power supplies they paired with ibooks and powerbooks. I know you love apple and all but you should hold off on building that alter.

a shitty power supply has lots more failure points and failure modes from regular use, look how they usually fail. one of the most common ways is fraying due to insufficient strain relief.
your headphone jack is not subject to any forces other than the insertion and removal of the headphones, and if there was really a design issue with it (like there was with, say, the cracking macbook handrests), random failures would be a lot more common.
i'm sorry, but I don't think your headphone jack just broke on its own.
and dammit the new iMacs need to get here, STAT. There's already been leaked ads, so its gotta be close!

to use Time Machine, its gotta be HFS+
if you want to do TM, and use it for both, you could partition it with a FAT32 that the PC and Mac can read and write, and a HFS+ to back up the Mac.

it sucks that it broke, but i'm pretty skeptical that a year+ of harsh use and living in a pocket would break it. its friggin' *inside* the phone
i beat the shit out of my first-gen and my 3g. only replaced them due to a desire for "zomg shiny". i cracked the screen on my 3g after i dropped it a few dozen times, but other than that, they didn't show anything but some scratches and dents.
but let me reiterate the important part: it sucks that it broke :(

HELLO!
here's my question, I have an imac g5 (ambient light sensor) it work fine but the sound crapped out and I dont want to replace the logic board. HOWEVER i have a new macbook pro and i would love to use the imac as a duel screen. i read you can apply a patch that will allow the imac to do this. so my next question is where do i find the correct monitor cables and what exactly do i need?
Thanks!

Good afternoon. I updated to the latest version of itunes and now when I go to the store, the text is scrambled.
What fresh hell is this?
