why can't I get mail?
I just upgraded to OS 10.5.4 on my mirror door tower. When I opened my mail it asked if I wanted to import or update (I think) anyway, no problem and everything is up and running. But my hubby went on his user and his mail is not working. His folders are there but are all blank. I haven't a clue how to remake his mail. He will not be happy if we have lost his mail.

iBook 2001 - dead battery
Hi all and Merry Christmas! I've got an iBook 2001 dual USB with a very dead battery. The iBook says No Batteries Available in the battery status meter and no charging / status lights glow on the battery. The battery never gets warm. I want to buy a good battery via Ebay, but want to make sure I'm dealing with a truly dead battery and not a laptop charging issue. Any ideas?

Power failure-computer won't start
My G4 won't start up. The power went out while I was gone, and when it came back on, I couldn't get the computer to start. The light on the button comes on but then it goes out as soon as I take my finger off it. The monitor and internet box are fine, and right now I'm working on my old G3. Thank Goddess I didn't get rid of it! I have a surge protector power strip that's made for computers and peripherals. So do you think the computer is fried or is it just a fuse or something? I've had the power go out while the machine was on and it came back up just fine. This time I had it in sleep mode. I don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for your help!
