Hello this is my first post here at Macrumors and after browsing for a couple of days I found that this forum has very useful information to be found here.
Ok so I'm a very big PC guy and I have been into PC's for as long as I can remember. To make a long story short and the problem I am having.
I acquired a Mac Ibook which was working fine in till I decided to reformat it and reinstall the OS. I have all the original Install disks and software disks that came with the laptop. So anyway I installed disk #1 and proceeded to erase and do a clean install. So everything went well but it did not ask for the second disk??? weird. But it said install completed and it rebooted then a folder with a flashing question mark was on my desk top.
What did I do wrong? every time disk 1 is in the drive it keeps on saying it wants to install again nothing else works, why did I do what I did when I know nothing about Mac :( Well all's I would like to do is put it back the way it was. Install the OS and be done. I feel this is going to be a learning experience learning how this type of OS works.
But can anyone please take a little time to put me in the right direction and help me get this going. I will post some pics of what I have and what I did.
Thank you for taken time to read this.
Regards
Mike

This is the info before the reformat.
progress
Then I get this in my desktop after reboot.
Nothing happens when I put any of the disks in only disk #1 then it wants to install again..
Any other information needed I will provide just let me know .
than you in advance.
Mike
And Thank you to who ever made my post nice and neat :)

That's a big shame -- I miss it. :(
The cmd-z just doesn't cut it in this specific circumstance.
Thought it was nifty & found it very useful... maybe Tiger will restore it? (yeah, right)

Strange. It doesnt really have all that much info in it. It just has pictures of the p58 and since it has come out it isnt really that informative anymore. The reason the one that the one i got from apple is interesting is that it has a mention and the circuitry info for firewire 2 ports.

The Buyer's Guide is being transitioned to the Guides (http://guides.macrumors.com) just for cases such as this - anyone (members with over 5 posts, that is) can update the Guides. The new Buyer's Guide isn't fully functional yet, as there are still a few problems that need fixing, but I've made the changes you suggested to the LCD Buyer's Guide page.

I've loved Freeverse and their games from way back. I know nothing about ngmoco, but from the sound of it they're big on pay-per-play games, which is rather horrifying.
What I'm REALLY worried about, though, are their handful of non-game apps--I absolutely LOVE Comic Life, and Sound Studio is sweet for as much as I've used it.
Oh well, at least their existing apps work great now, so they're not going to get any worse regardless of what ngmoco does to the company.

Can anyone help explain the deal with the 6th gen?
I usually get maybe 5-6 hours at most from it which is adequate but nowhere near what it's rated as having
The battery indicator moves around a lot (annoying predictive usage doing that) and I was at around 40% earlier and decided to check out the diagnostic mode that the 6th gen has.
I went into battery status, and it was claiming I had around 3000 mV, and a full charge takes this up to around 4000 mV.
Is the indicator on the OS reading it completely wrong, and not actually using the full battery?

That iBook does not have gigabit ethernet. No iBook has gigabit ethernet. 100mbit is not very fast. We're talking realistically 8-10MB/s, maximum on a 100mbit is 12.5 which you'll never hit.All depends really.
I run most of my stuff at 100Mbit/s, including the Mac mini I use for media. I have no problem with it and it's plenty fast enough. On the gbit linked machines I only notice the difference when moving large amounts of data (e.g. virtual machine images), but that's rare enough that it's just a nice to have.

Sorry to hear about that, but I've always found that I liked OS X's approach better... just gets rid of the file (which was my intended action). But then again, I am a Maccie for life.
So.
What you can do is chalk it up to "This sucks" and remember to every week or so Option+Drag your important data folder to wherever you think it should be safe. (Option makes it copy while on the same disk. It makes it MOVE it if you do that to an external disk)
Sorry... I have a few month's worth of notes in a Word document and it is backed up even to where it is in Documents to Go on my Palm.

If a customer jailbreaks the iPhone, Apple blacklists the device and turns the water hose on the "offender." So what happens when the jailbreaker is a telecom company?

I was looking at the mac mini with snow leopard server. I would use it for my work, but I have a few apps on the current server that only run on windows. Is there a way that I can run those apps on the mini server? I know I have a couple of programs that use microsoft.net.

See, when I started watching twit a long time ago, Leo was the poster-boy Machead. He would get into arguments with hosts (Thurrot) defending Apple products even when he was wrong. Now that twit has many more shows and a more varied audience, I feel he HAD to tone it down just so he would not alienate his viewers.
You have been watching longer than I have, so you know more than me. I think it makes sense.

Zarathustra,
Thank you for the post.
To clarify:
As the Director of Promotion and Marketing, I oversee the promotional materials produced by all subdivisions within my organization -- HR's included.
The major difference between "public relations" and "promotion" is that HR's relationship with the outside world exists to serve potential STAFF, whereas Promotion -- my division -- exists to serve potential CLIENTS.
Human Resources is natively concerned with getting people on board, while general materials promo is designed to interest potential clients in our products and services.
And, being among the largest consulting groups on the planet, it is hardly appropriate to deem Pacific "usual".

-C.S.

I have an iPod Classic 5.5G since May 2008 (160GB version) and since then I can only charge i by a computer USB port or an USB mains adapter.
But using a car charger it did not work.
Now I ordered a higher power (2 amps) car charger for my iPad2 which worked flawlessly on my iPad2. Even connected to my 6 Volts, 1A solar panel it charged the iPad in about the same time as on the provided mains adapter.
So I tried it with the iPod classic but it did not charge at all not at 6V ot 12V.
Does the iPod require a very precisely controlled / stabilized power suplly ?

OK, I'll admit I am totally obsessed the little jewel called nano.
Mind you, I have a 40GB iPod photo (the original :cool: ) that I use every day and a shuffle that sits on the bulleting board unused most of the time since I had to stop running due to my back.
And, my better half will kill me (not out loud, though it will be something along the lines of "it's your money") when he gets home tomorrow.
And, I should put the money in the 30-inch monitor fund...
Christ make the voices stop... :D

The system would have originally come with grey restore DVDs. You should include them when you sell the system; they also include iLife and any other bundled apps.
