Well, you will need a separate cable/DSL modem.. but not a separate router. There should be instructions that come with it, if not, hit the Apple support website. But typically it'll use an...

IMO, there's no reason in the world to get an Apple wireless router. They are massively overpriced and your AirPort cards will work with pretty much any wireless router out there. And you can get...

Well, PC133 RAM should work just fine in there. So if it's not showing up, try moving it to a new slot. If it STILL doesn't show up, then most likely it's either 1) the incorrect RAM, or it's a bad...

The reboot screen is called a kernel panic.

The 3 beeps is a bad sign, it means the boot sequence FAILED the POST (power on self test).. spcifically: 3 beeps = No RAM banks passed memory testing...

Unfortunately, it's going to be hard to find a modern printer that still supports OS 9. OS 9 has been a depricated OS for about 5 years now.

Which Mac is it? Are you sure you seated it properly? Are you 100% sure it's compatible RAM?

You should note that when you have mixed (802.11b & g) groupings like this, the wifi router will run at the slowest speed.

That being said:

The 17" 1GHz G4 iMac was the "first", after that, the...

Most likely it supports DL burning.

Open Temrinal.app.. type:

And see what you get as supported DVD writes.

Hmmm..It's definitely got a battery. According to Mactracker (http://www.mactracker.ca), it's a 3.6 to 3.9V lithium. However, I'm not sure where it is, as I scrapped my last G3 Tower at least 2...

There were a couple G3 Towers.. is it Blue & White or Beige?

Funny question: You're 100% sure there's a disk in there?

Here are you solutions:



The thing is.. if you use the paper-clip and it make eject noises and cannot eject, then it a hardware...

Start with a PMU Reset. You can find out how on the Apple Support website:

http://www.apple.com/support/

Beyond that, your internal lithium battery is probably dead. You will have to replace...

That is correct, Target mode only shows the boot device as specified in the PRAM.

Sounds like you just need a cheap firewire hd enclosure. Pull the drives from your old Mac, put them in the...

This is a Mac forum, shouldn't you be asking these questions in a Windows forum?

Nasty noises from hard drives typically indicate that it's failing. You should also check the disk's SMART status with Disk Utility. Hopefully you've backed up everything, yes?

Does the player have any drivers or anything on their support website for Mac OS X?

Have you pulled the battery out, plugged into power and tried booting? Otherwise, you should be taking it to a Certified Apple Repair CEnter.

There should be instructions that 1) came with the router, failing that 2) on the manufacurer's website.

If it's a failed hard drive you REALLY don't need to buy a new computer. You can purchase a new 100GB 5400RPM Seagate hard drive for $140. Since you're out of waranty, you won't void it by...

One thing to look for when you boot from the installer and use Disk Utility is the SMART status. If it's anything but "Verified" then the HD is most likely failing.

Hopefully you're still under...

Sounds like the hard drive has given up the ghost, as the white screen with the Apple and the spinning spokes is when the boot-fsck (file system check) is running. If it takes forever, then it's...

When you boot from yoru installation CD/DVD and run Disk Warrior, check the SMART status. If it says "Verified" it's unlikely that your HD is failing. It is possible that you just need to reinstall...

There shouldn't be a need to "select a drive". Once you're at the point beyond choosing the language, you should have access to the pull-down menus in order to run Disk Utility, which you need to...

We're not reinstalling, we're repaiting the drive, so you boot from the installer disc, choose Disk Utility from one of the pull down menus as soon as you are able, and then "Repair Disk".

That error looks like a hard drive failure. It's pointing at the Master device on the ATA bus.

Have you tried booting from your intallation CD/DVD that came with the computer and repairing the...

Intel Core Duo.

Try using the Hex password, rather than the ASCII password to get on WEP.

I'd start with the troubleshooting steps listed here:

Make sure that you change the jumpers as appropriate on the 2nd hard drive.

I don't think it's ever been published by Apple for newer models of Apples.

I find that anything under 142-145F is normal.

The spinning wheel you're seeing is an attempt to preen the hard drive, which means it's makeing sure the disk and file structure are sane/functional. It's clearly failing. So it's highly likely...

Can you expound on what "freezing" means? Are there any associtated error messages?

If it's an original iMac, I don't think you can install Tiger on it without something like XPostFacto. Tiger's specs say they require a built-in Firewire port. Do you have that, is it a...

Try "repairing" it with Disk Utility or something a little stronger, like Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro.

So, now 2 of you are getting daily kernel panics?

1) Please (each of you) post your specs. Hardware and OS.

2) There should be a file in /Library/Logs/ called panic.log. This contains the...

"My Computer" indicates that you're using a PC. This particular forum is for Macs (more specifically, this one is for legacy Macs and legacy Mac OSes). You might get more milage asking your question...

I find that Apple laptops (PowerBooks, mainly.. don't have a lot of experience with iBooks and external HDs.) don't really do the whole USB hard drive thing very well. Particularly USB hard drives...

That port is called AAUI.

When you power the printer on, it should be spitting out a test page with the IP address on it. Try telneting to that IP address and setting up the printer's particulars.

Correct. Current Macs are not x86 boxes and cannot run Windows without VirtualPC, which as you found out is SUPER slow. Apple has stated that they won't disable the ability for Windows to be run on...
