Remote Control

I don't remember this being a subject... Is there a way of remotely controlling i-Tunes thru Pismo's IR port? I'd consider buying an airport card (if it can be used for the purpose??? ) if I could jump thru songs from my bed...(I have a short RCA cable:-) P.S> I don't like creating playlists..

Lombard 333 battery revival

As I had previously posted on this list sometime ago, I was using my Lombard with a battery life of 3-4 hours one day when all of a sudden something happened and the PB wouldn't charge either the removable battery or the PRAM (do they still call it that?) battery. I had to run on external power a

Well, thanks to all who responded. Before I sold my Pismo in favor of a TiBook 667/30 GB, 1 GB RAM rev C, I bought a new battery (only 45 min left) not knowing that I could have exploited my Apple Care. Since I am already experiencing degrading of the battery that came with the TiBook from about 3

taking apart Lombard revisited

What I have is a CD I bought from a Mac Users Group a couple of years ago, not an actual manual, but doesn't the user's manual have instructions for upgrading RAM, requiring removing the keyboard? BTW, thanks for the help, everybody. I don't know why my instructions weren't for the Lombard. I
