Today I got my first Mac, a Powermac G4. It has no DVD drive so I installed one from an old PC. The computer recognizes the drive and will play CDs from it, but it cannot read DVDs.
Is there an update that I can install to allow my G4 to read DVDs?
running OS X 10.3.9
trying to use Asus 16X max DVD-ROM
Thanks.
Not sure as i've never done that, however... there is a program called "Patchburn" which may be able to help you, try it and let us know what happens.
Goto http://www.patchburn.de/
Then download read the instructions and install.
Thanks

No more than Apple or Apple accessory makers post on forums to steer people in theirs.
In this instance do you think its the case?

It's happened to me as well, for a couple times. Seems like either when the iPad goes to sleep, or the iPhone goes to sleep, the link needs to be re-established by turning off/on the personal hotspot feature.

Thank you. I paid 40$ for it, so I don't think I'll sell it anytime soon. It makes a great writing computer, anyways. :)
Another thing the very old PowerBooks are useful for is simple data processing as well (writing reports with data is what I use a G3 for at home (OS 9 ofc - not anything newer - hopefully one day Ill get another old PowerBook - I do miss my old 540...))

Not all adapters work on the MBA. I bought the gigabit adapter from mono-price and it works fine. Of course, there is always the apple adapter.

The brand new one. 1.5 Ghz 12".
the one that was released in September/october 05 or january 05?
does it take PC2700 ram? that is the best question, will you do a direct trade for it?

Whatever tech you spoke to was clueless or was mistakenly thinking about JB and software unlock.
Like people said once a phone is factory unlocked it will never lock again and will accept any GSM sim.
Thanx for the good info, AJuiced. :D
I'm about to take a vacation w/a stopover in Canada -- and some friends want a factory unlocked iPhone.
Maybe I'll pick up one or two and sell them. Factory unlocked White versions seem to be fetching a slight premium ATM; but I'm not sure how long that will last.

I've never had Software Update offer me an update for Xcode. This has been true for Xcode 2, Xcode 3, and now Xcode 4. For Xcode updates I've either received an e-mail from the Apple Developer program, heard about them on some forum, or noticed a new version when on the Apple Developer website.
Can someone confirm that they've received Xcode updates from Software Update? Screenshots would be nice. By Software Update I mean the main Software Update reachable via the apple logo on the main toolbar, not a "fine updates" from the help menu inside of Xcode itself.
I'd like to get Xcode updates via SU if possible.

Why are all of you getting so mad that the MacBook Air doesnt have this, this. All of us expected all these things, it is like me saying, "i want the green apple!" and getting the green apple "HEY! i thought it was RED!"
So stop whining about that it does not have these things, most of you sayd that you werent going to get it anyway!
Although i wish it did have these I am ok without them.

I have this back and like it, except for the fact that it's SLIGHTLY thicker than original. I was wondering the same thing about the sheilding though. How easy is it to get off and put back on. Obviously the back is extremely easy but curious about the shielding...

I think someone is mistaken. If the logic board were dead, then it wouldnt work, power cord or otherwise.
+1, this. If you have a dead logic board, that = dead computer.

When I boot my iBook it shows the gray apple screen and displays the message "sh-2.05a#" after a few seconds. I'm able to type, but I've no idea what to write! I'm leaving on holiday saturday morning and I really need to have a working laptop by that time! Can someone please help me to boot back into OSX, I'm really desperate here :(.
Thanks a lot,
Edward van Rijn.

I get my iPod battery replacements on eBay.
I did the same thing for my fifth gen iPod. It worked well for the year between replacing the battery and giving it to a friend. I've yet to hear him complain about the battery life.

So, is that for sale to educational institutions, or something?
Probably the basic education discount for anyone in education at any level except HE.

I couldn't vote for myself in good conscience so you got my vote. I really like what you did there.
Welcome to MR, by the way. :)
heh. It's not like you needed the vote anyway. :p (Not that your pic is bad, by the way, it is excellent, I just liked the style of this one a little better.)

I just got myself a TV (Sony Bravia 40", 60hz. My first real tv ha) and a ps3. I'm playing DA:O on it and the game stutters a bit (often during video sequences when the camera is panning, as well as during spellcasting) and the character models seem to be choppy around the edges when looked at close up.
Is this just the games performance? Is it my tv? Should I have gotten 120hz?

Please don't try it, even for a joke. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrQUWUfmR_I)
And R�ntgenstrahlung is the original name for "X-Ray", as the man who detected "x-rays" is Wilhelm Conrad R�ntgen.
