I have no problems accessing "Displays" under System Prefs. I have my external monitor in spanning mode, not mirror mode. The control window for displays shows a slider on it for the PB and this readily adjusts the brightness of the PB screen. But whether I access the displays controls for...

Natobasso, Thank you for your reply. I didn't even know what the button was supposed to do. But it does not function as it is supposed to and never has. Your suggestion still does not work, however. Currently my monitor is connected to my Powerbook in spanning mode. But even if I switch to...

I have a 21 inch Apple Cinema display that I have had for over a year now. I have never understood how to adjust the brightness. I find the screen to be too bright for reading large amounts of text on white. There is a touch sensitive button on the lower left of the monitor with a sun symbol...

I'm thinking I might fall into the same category as you do. I'm not such I do enough video work to justify a lot of time spent learning how to use new software right now. John

I'm new to digital movie making. I've owned my Canon Optura 40 for about three months. I've been using iMovie 4 to edit my movies. I feel reasonably proficient with this product. Now I'm wondering what the advantages might be to moving up to Final Cut Express. Does FCE have significantly...

I have a DVD movie that contains a 20- 30 second animated movie segment that I would like to use for a PowerPoint presentation. Can this be done? If so, how would I proceed? It seems I would first have to figure out how to isolate the segment I want to show in the PP presentation and figure...

The system administrators insist nothing needs to be done on my machine to open ports. Everything works fine if Airport Extreme base station is not in the circuit. John

Strictly speaking this is not an OS X problem. But I would appreciate any help you can offer me. I have a mixed platform home network (three macs and one Windows XP home edition machine) that all share a cable high speed connection. The macs are all connected wirelessly with AirPort. The XP...

My friend's iMac has a monitor problem. I wonder if it is as simple as a firmware upgrade? His problem is a bit different and I suspect it is more likely a hardware problem. When he boots up the iMac only the lower 60 % of the screen is displayed. But after it warms up for about 10- 15...

I have a cable connection using Apple's AirPort Base Station to do wireless LAN and internet sharing. How do I set the port mapping to make this work? I have a dynamic IP number if that makes a difference. John

chabig, Same problem, it sounds like, but different site. I have to connect to AgfaWeb1000( 159.212.82.13). The java applet draws a login window. The window usually gets drawn with Internet Explorer, both in OS X and OS 9. But the connection never occurs with OS X. I get various java...

DeltaMac, The iMac was purchased in December 2002. The ROM version of the original OS 9.2.2 install is 9.5.1. Unfortunately, the OS 9.2.2 install CD that came with it is lost. My daughter's 12 inch PowerBook has ROM version 9.7.1 in its pre-installed OS 9.2.2 system. So you think the ROM...

I copied a 9.2.2 system folder from my PowerBook DVI to my flat screen iMac. It contains specific combinations of preferences and extensions that I want for the boot system on the iMac. Unfortunately, this copied system folder won't boot. It boots fine if I copy it to my daughter's PowerBook...

I have the same problem with java. When using a VPN client to access my company's resources, I have to run IE. One of the resources using a java applet. It won't work in OS X but works fine in OS 9.2.2 with that version of IE. John

The shutdown key on the keyboard that came with my beige G3 is not working properly. It has lost the recoil that should be there after the key is depressed. It still functions. But it is now very sensitive. A slight touch will result in a dialog box asking if I want to shut down. Can I fix...

I have a beige G3 with a combo USB/Firewire card. I don't suppose I can use firewire target mode to transfer data from the G3 to a new G4? John
