SO, let's try a couple of things first:
1) Insert disc 1, and power the laptop down.
2)With the laptop turned off, hold down the C key on the keyboard, and while holding the key down, press the power button. Continue holding the C key down until you see the grey Apple logo in the middle of the screen. This is booting from the CD. You should get to a menu, and from the top menu bar, it should say 'Utilities' (depending on version of OS). Select Disk Utility. Select the HD, and erase.
Unsure of all what happened previously, but wiping the drive and starting from new may help.
After erase is complete, power down laptop. Make sure disc 1 is still in drive. This time, hold down the C key, power the laptop up. Follow the prompts to installing the OS. Hopefully, this will work. Let me know. If this doesn't take care of issue, it may point to another issue, possibly hard drive. Not uncommon, not a major install, just more of a time consuming install. Can get them relatively cheap from all over. I prefer MicroCenter because of their volume prices. I have an earlier model of iBook, the Clamshell G3 366. I also had an iBook G4 1.2 Ghz, both required a hard drive within months of me owning them. Replaced hard drives, and they are still running to this day.
Sorry you haven't gotten many responses on here. Older items dont garner as much attention, but this is still a great place to get information.
Thank you I understand I'm dealing with a fossil of a laptop :( But I will follow your directions and let you know the out come of it.
Thank you again also for the info
regards
Mike

Now this is interesting and its something I have thought about a lot. It all comes down to brand identity.
If you built cars for a living and your company was called iCars, but you then branched out into logging and medical care. iCars would seem a very confusing name for your company and would be detrimental to your brand. A new name that encompasses all your endeavours (Mobile Tree Surgery) would best promote your business from there on in.
Renaming iTunes would be a very good business move at this time. More exposure and clearer focus.

So this should work as a temporary solution to my problem.
1-Copy my user file off of my powerbook to a FW drive
2-Send my PB in for repair
3-Add a new user on my friends mac
4-go into NetInfo Manager and redirect my location to my FW Drive
5-When PB gets back, copy user folder back to PB.
Will that work?
Sounds good. I have no experience with Firewire drives, but as long as the OS mounts it before you log in it should be ok. My home dir is on the second SATA drive in my g5.

Yeah I read the entire page yesterday at work. Couldn't stop reading it. Does the book have more material?
'Cause when I got "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" I was disappointed. It had the same stuff from the website with a tiny bit of extra content.
Same thing happened to me with the Tucker Max book. The website for this one claims 60% new material... Thats good enough for me lol.

Will be at the AT&T on Milwaukee first thing Friday Morning. Still trying to decide on the upgrade from my v1 iPhone to v3G, but will be there to share in the fun and check it out up close (if I can get my hands on a display model!) to finally decide on upgrading. Chances are I am walking out with one (as long as they have a white one left!)
Anyone else in Boise planning on being there first thing Friday?
So glad MacLife isn't allowed to carry these (just lost their license to even carry ipods!), it would be a huge cluster f__ just like any average day trying to make a purchase in their unmanaged store.
See you Friday morning at Milwaukee!:D Please post if your in Boise and plan on attending!

I'm using a PowerBook G4 running Panther (v10.7.3), with an HP LaserJet 1200 connected either directly by USB or through AirPort Express.
My problems started as a result of one of two simultaneous events. It began when I decided to become efficient. So I bought a) an A5 Filofax into which I could insert alphabetically listed addresses, and b) an AirPort Express.
I set up the AirPort Express, including plugging in the USB from the printer to it, and adding this wireless printer as "HP LaserJet 1200 Living Room" (I couldn't see any way to change the name) in Printer Setup Utility.
I would have liked to use a different name, to make it easier to distinguish the two LaserJets from each other - the driver that operated when I had the printer plugged directly into the computer by USB, and the driver that operated through the AirPort network called Living Room.
All seemed well; I was pleased with how easy it was to print off my normal A4 documents.
I set to work and spent a day typing up my 29 pages of addresses and making them properly alphabetical, setting up the document as an A5 one.
Then I put some A5 paper in the printer and pressed Print, choosing the "Living Room" LaserJet 1200. Printing started halfway down the page, and leaked off the left-hand edge.
I spent the rest of the day, and the hours between 4am and 6am last night, trying *everything*.
Finally I thought of something else. I plugged the printer directly into the computer, chose the USB version of the printer and pressed Print, and it printed off happily.
So obviously the "Living Room" version was corrupt. I deleted it.
Then I went to print out something I was writing and wished to edit, still using the USB directly plugged into the computer. It printed it out starting halfway down the page and leaking off the bottom edge.
I deleted this printer too, and then pressed Add Printer (both in Printer Setup Utility). The Setup Utility offered me two identical options of HP LaserJet 1200, among other options. I chose one and tried. It printed off the edges. I deleted and chose the other and tried. It printed off the edges.
I deleted the Printer Setup Utility Preferences and restarted, and went to Add Printer again. Again it offered me two HP LaserJet 1200 items. I tried Manual; it told me that there were multiple versions of the printer description.
I searched for and deleted the printer description (only one) for HP LaserJet 1200, and also for HP LaserJet 1220, just in case, and restarted. I went to Add Printer, and there they were again, the two HP LaserJet 1200 items.
I tried using an Apple LaserWriter item instead. Still printing off the edges of the pages.
I'm now officially stumped. What have I not done? What should I do? What is causing the problem?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be clear about what I'd tried and not tried. If there's anything I've not tried.First, you don't need to tell your life story. You need to explain the problem with your printer. You also need to explain how you set-up your printer. If you want help, the rest is more information than we need.
IIRC, you cannot use the USB driver for a printer that you have networked. Download and install the GIMP-print CUPS driver for the LaserJet 1200 when accessing it over your network.

Was this changed recently?
I been coming here nearly everyday for 2 years was kinda excited to get to enter the marketplace. ;/
Guess I could just post stupid fluff/crap like the people that get it in a few months.

Oh well I shouldn't complain. Better page 2 then no page at all.

I don't know what the result of using both 'default host' *and* individual port mapping is, but at best it's undefined. I'd suggest using one or the other. I have no issues with Snow Leopard Server and an old Airport Extreme using port mapping (no default host). Default host is just exposing your machine to probes on every port in existence.
Some simple debugging: try telnetting from some other machine on your local network to your server port 25, e.g. 'telnet 192.168.1.2 25'. If you get connected to SMTP then your problem is elsewhere (barring some firewall rules you might have manually configured in your server). If you don't get connected then the problem is the server and you have to figure out why SMTP isn't listening.
If you can telnet to your server on the inside, but not from the outside then you have either a router problem or an ISP problem. As for my old Airport Extreme, I found that upgrading to the latest firmware (7.5.2) caused no end of problems, I downgraded to the previous version (7.4.2) and all is well.

So this weekend my Zune reached the point of 3.75 MB of free space remaining. With my iPod 5.5G sidelined for a few years because of harddrive lag, and my Zune now out of space, I realized that I need to upgrade. However I don't want to do a regular 'New iPod purchase' but something more fun.
Upgrade iPod Video 30 80GB to 120GB HDD mk1224gah - eBay (item 250691849228 end time Apr-01-11 09:20:55 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/Upgrade-iPod-Video-30-80GB-120GB-HDD-mk1224gah-/250691849228?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5e660c0c)
My first plan was to just buy that, switch out the harddrive and have a fresh new 120gb on my old iPod and stop there. But then I started thinking. If I'm gonna upgrade the harddrive, couldn't I just upgrade everything else?
Basically what I'm trying to do here is turn my iPod into a 6G iPod with a 5G body. Having hacked and modded my iPod numerous times before, I know this isn't simply just a firmware overwrite - the innards of the current 5.5G are not compatible with the firmware of the 6G iPods. So I'm thinking of buying the hardware from 6G iPods to replace on my 5.5G iPod so it will be 6G firmware compatible.
Am I crazy or could this just might work?
Can anyone help me out?
What hardware I need to swap out, how to get my Computer and iTunes to read it as a 6G iPod, etc?
Did some research, looks like I may or may not have to switch out for more RAM for this to work, but definitely need a new processor? Before I make purchases I would like to know is this even possible?

Hi there,
maybe this is a silly thing to do but my question is...I have a mac mini server with 2 500GB drives in a mirror set. If i break the mirror set and boot from one of them and install an update and an update breaks the system technically could i boot from the other drive and rebuild the raid?

I don�t know if anyone�s already seen this or not, but it�s certainly the first time I have.
Sony have released the GRX516SP VAIO Notebook, complete with built in DVD-R drive!
So this mean the drives are now down at a scale where they can be squeezed into a notebook form factor, in which case maybe seeing a SuperDrive in the next rev of the TiBooks isn�t to unrealistic.

Hey guys,
I know that Elite Pro has a mask so that all of the icons look the same, even if it doesn't have a custom icon for a certain app.
My question is: Is there an easy way to just delete the custom icon Elite Pro provides, so that it will then use the old icon, and just put the mask over it?
Delete the icon from the theme, either in the icon or the bundle folder depending on what method the theme uses.
