iweb 09 and IE compatibility
Hi All Does anyone know if iweb 09 will display on windows machines using IE 6. 08 iweb would not display truly and links would not work, OK in most other windows browsers, just IE. Microsoft blamed Apple and vice versa but hoping someone fixed it. Thanks in anticipation.

Iweb IE compatible?
Hi all Used iweb template to make up web pages to display photographs. Tested fine in firefox and safari. When tried on IE on XP machine the links to the pages do not display. I found iweb easy to use and very intuitive but does this all mean that it is impossible to display iweb sites on 95% of computers who run XP and IE ? Any solutions would be appreciated.

Iweb08 and IE 7
Thanks all for the quick responses. Have javascript enabled. Glenn thanks for that site. Testing the site using browsershots.org clearly shows that it will not work. On searching the web for problems it seems that iweb 08 will not work with IE 7 on XP. Solution seem to be to use iweb 06 which will work. Or as customers to download Firefox. Thanks again.

firewire gone missing
We were considering the cheaper option of the other side at our school. This cuts out many options and puts Apple out unfortunately. We will not be leasing the more expensive machines.

Missing Dock Items using wireless
Hi all Have a problem with dock items missing when logging macbooks onto network using wireless. Problem occurs when a user logs onto the network using wireless, can get all the items/half the items/or just the bin and finder. Does not matter if other laptops are logging on at same, can occur with just one user. Can log on and get two items, then log on again and get the lot, and vice versa. Have checked group managed prefs etc but no improvement in the intermittent problem. Have tried trashing prefs..no difference. Only had problem since moving from 10.4.7 No problems with ethernet clients. Background Noise on network 13%, is this normal? Any ideas ?? Thanks in anticipation Rob tiger server 10.4.11 with clients all running 10.4.11 Macbook first generation.

Faulty Caps and emac 1.25
Hi All Have some machines (emac 1.25Ghz USB 2) that have bulging capacitors, problem mostly in this model. I think Apple were replacing whole logic boards then fixing capacitors and then reusing them. Evidently there were millions of these duds produced used in wide variety of computers, they were produced using a stolen Japanese formulae that was incomplete. Not well advertised by Apple, the symptoms being screen freezing when video intensive activity. Question is.. is there anyone in Perth who can replace these capacitors on the board.

Phaser or Laser that is ...
Hi All We are looking at purchasing the following printer for a school situation.Xerox Docuprint C3210DX Has anyone on list had any experience, good or bad, regarding this printer. We are particularly looking at reliability and maintenance issues. We have had a Xerox 850N for five years, 100 000 prints and two sets of heaters plus powerboard etc. The solid ink technology is supposedly cheaper to run, but with improvement in laser technology this may now not be the case.

Steve's True Face?
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/4560691.html For the faithful Has Steve Jobs shown his true face? Does he really think on such a basic level? (Teachers that can't handle new technology should be sacked!) A clue to his profound utterings may be in the fact that he is in Bush Country where improving the education system involved firing teachers to raise the teacher/student ratio and thus improving the bottom line. Interesting to read the response from Dell's representitive Rob
802.11n macbooks ?
Hi All I have read that the first macbooks (core duo) cannot use 802.11n, but new core 2 duo machines will be able to. Is there an airport card availiable or going to be made availiable so that these macbooks can use the extra speed and range. In other words are these early macbooks going to be limited to 802.11a/g speeds Thanks in anticipation Rob

Cheers, Ronni Ronni My son installed download speedmaniac about two months ago and thats when problem started. Erased everything I could see related to that program. By 'Download' do you mean 'unable to view web pages'? Have you tried remote web pages (like www.slashdot.org) and local ones (like iinet's?) Check to see if you have a proxy set in System Preferences' Network Panel. Choose whichever networking you're using from the 'Show' pop-up menu and then click the 'Proxies' tab and make sure your Web and Secure Web Proxy settings are set correctly for iinet (which according to their handbook indicates that they should be empty). Have fun, Shay Shay I have no problems downloading web pages, but when I try to download a file everything falls over. I have checked proxy settings. Rob there is one more idea, did you use the small undate package or the combo update package, from my experience it is essential to use combo usually double the size but does fix a few anomalies between updates. Steven w Steve Used the combo update.
