Stalling HD in Wallstreet

Hi all- I recently had a reoccurrence of a problem I ran into about 9 mo. ago, and hope you can help. My PB froze the other day, a fairly rare occurrence. I restarted it , but the HD spun up, ran for maybe 5-10 seconds, then just stalled, leaving me with a question-mark disk on the sc

Fussy iBook CD-ROM drive

Hi everyone, My iBook (one of the "new" ones, not clamshell) is having an annoying problem with the CD-ROM drive. Sometimes, when I trash a CD, the drive tray will pop out only a few millimeters. I can't push it back in (it pops right back out, but again only that small bit) and I can't pry it op

Need "A" keycap for TiBook

I have a 400MHz TiBook with a broken "A" keycap. Seems ridiculous to buy/exchange an entire keyboard for this simple part. Does anyone have one of these to sell for a few bux, or know where I can get one? Please reply off-list. Thanks, Andrew Main -- G-Books is sponsored by

How do you claim that it is used? Do you just pay the taxes when the package arrives? For instance what if you bought a used item from ebay and had it shipped to you? Mark > The only way to avoid such taxes is to have a friend in the US open up > the box and take it out so you can claim that it'

Re: no sound

Thanks. Someone suggested power manager on another list. Sure enough, that worked. I didn't have sound in 9 either. On Wednesday, June 12, 2002, at 01:44 PM, Jeremy Derr wrote: >> I lost sound on my Pismo all of a sudden. All I've tried is rebooting. >> Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Re: Buying macs outside Canada

That's what I've been doing. I buy stuff and have it shipped to my parents. Then I get it when I visit or have someone bring it. I wish there were a better way. I got spoiled in California shopping on line. On Wednesday, June 12, 2002, at 01:44 PM, Justin Ramirez wrote: > The only way to avoi

no sound

I lost sound on my Pismo all of a sudden. All I've tried is rebooting. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I got some message about not being able to load sound or something, which I dismissed without noting what it said. PowerBook G3 firewire OS X 10.1.5 Thanks! Jim -- G-Books is spo

Re: Buying macs outside Canada

The only way to avoid such taxes is to have a friend in the US open up the box and take it out so you can claim that it's "used". This way you don't have to pay as much in taxes. Justin On Wednesday, June 12, 2002, at 01:40 PM, Jim Freeman wrote: > I moved to Canada from the US six months ag

Re: Buying macs outside Canada

I moved to Canada from the US six months ago and have gotten warrenty service from Apple on an iBook, a Pismo, an ABS and an iPod -- all purchased in the US. But what about mailordering stuff from the US? Is there a way to avoid big taxes? Jim On Tuesday, June 11, 2002, at 10:54 PM, Mark Hu

Buying macs outside Canada

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with buying new macs from US sellers to Canada. I have been told they don't ship to Canada and those that do say the warranty is not valid. Anybody else buying from the US in Canada? Mark -- G-Books is sponsored by and... Small Dog

Re: Hard Drives (again)

I bought an 80 gig Western Digital Firewire and after 2 days (just long enough to get all my info on it) it dies a quick death. Don't think I'll but another WD product. The Circuit board died. I bought another drive, took the board out of the good one, put it on the bad one, transferred the data,
