Try starting from the system disc & then run the 'Disk Utility' and repair the permissions on your Hard Disk..

I bought my G5 Dual-Core 2ghz from the refurb store. It was meant to have a 160gb Hard Disk, but when mine arrived it had a 250gb Hard Disk..!! Woo-hoo..!! I've heard of other similar stories about buying from the refurb store, with machines coming with more Ram than expected etc..I'm absolutely...

It will have went into 'sleep' mode before it shut down completely I think..After you connect the mains adapter, hold down the on-off button for at least 7 seconds and see if anything happens then..hopefully it should now restart, or if it's still in 'sleep' mode it should shut down.If so you...

Try holding down the button the mouse during start-up..this should eject the CD..

I have a home-movie that I've saved as a Quicktime file. Is there a way I can convert this file to DVD format so I can burn it to DVD and watch it on my home DVD player..? Cheers..

I do have a Superdrive but it seemed a bit of a waste to burn a Data DVD when I was SO close to managing to fit it onto a CD..! I have a G5 Dual-Core 2ghz & a G4/1.2 iBook so FireWire Target Disk is something I use often for file transfer/backup. I think you're right enough though..burning a...

What's the story with File Archiving..?? I have a folder containing data that is too big to burn to a CD, so I thought I would archive it and then burn the archived file to CD instead. The original is 728mb but the Archived folder is 715mb..not much of a saving there..and still too big to burn...

I've just recently added a 2nd monitor to my G5 Dual-Core 2ghz. Both monitors are using the VGA outputs but the 2nd monitors display is dull compared to the 1st primary monitor. Both monitors are identical Dell 17in Monitors. I've swapped them around to check it's not the monitor..and it isn't...

I already knew that the extra FW port was intended for daisy-chaining but was curious to find out if it could be also used in the way I mentioned. What 'unexpected results' could I expect if I was to connect 2 computers to the FW drive..??

This may be a silly question but here goes anyway..! I have a LaCie 120gb external hard disk with 2 FireWire ports on it. Is it possible to have 2 computers connect to these ports at the same time ? For example can I connect my G5 to one FW port and my G4 iBook to the other..? Been a bit...

You have an 'iNac G3' do you..?? I take it the 'M' key produces an 'N'..!! Sorry..couldn't resist that..why don't you just buy a replacement USB keyboard, sounds like yours is broken with a capital 'F'..

You could maybe try one of these cables http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-2-0-TO-4-PIN-FIREWIRE-IEEE-1394-CABLE-FREE-POST-UK_W0QQitemZ9734802536QQcategoryZ31493QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Unfortunately it only connects to a 4-Pin FireWire port but maybe there's an adaptor available.

Are you using iTunes for music playback..? If so make sure the 'Soundcheck' box in iTunes Playback preferences is not ticked.

Does your iPod have the latest available updates..?

Couple of obvious things to try..firstly try burning at a lower speed. Secondly try a different brand of DVD-R..

First things first....find out from your browser preferences where your downloaded files are going. You can change this destination if you like. Personally I have a folder on my desktop which I named 'Internet Downloads' and told my browser (FireFox) to download files there. So if you can't find...

It should be in your burning app preferences. In 'Toast' it's in the preferences > converted items. From there you can change the location of the converted items. I'm pretty sure converted & temporary items are the same..but don't quote me on that..!!

Try burning at a lower speed..

I got my G5/DC2ghz from the Apple Refurb Store & am delighted with it. It was only meant to have a 160gb Hard Disk but it came with a 250gb instead. Apparantly this type of thing is fairly common, I've heard of Macs coming with MUCH more Ram installed than they thought they were getting. I saved...

That's perfectly correct..it isn't worth spending money on. A P/Ram battery on eBay would cost about £5 plus P&P which is more than your computer's worth. As you say, the money would be more wisely put towards replacing the Mac for a newer one. You mention 'if you have some extra old RAM' and...
