There are two things to watch out for. One is whether the disk will be recognized (or mount). The other is whether the disk is bootable. The first is much less likely to be a problem, but I ran into the second when I bought two FireWire 80GB disks from IOGear. They were not bootable. I went

External FW drives problems and Tiger?

I'm ready to install Tiger on my PB G4 and will first backup critical files to a Smartdisk Firelite 20GB firewire drive. I understand there were problems with fw drives not being recognized in 10.3. Does anyone know if that problem has been fixed with Tiger or should I be concerned? Thanks, Don

The SuperDrive installed in your powerbook will only read or write DVD-R or DVD-RW media. It will not read DVD+R or DVD+RW disks, no matter what type of device they were recorded on. If you want to read +R or +RW disks on your powerbook, you will need to purchase an external drive that is c

Re: Does AL powerbook read DVD+R disks?

Quick question. I have a G4/1.33 12" with Superdrive. Would it read DVD+R disks with movies burnt using DVD Recorder connected to TV? Apple spec'd its drives before + media became popular, or perhaps even available. After I replaced my OEM DVD-CD-ROM drive with a generic DVD-CD-ROM- R-R/

You might have the old worn video cable problem, which can take a couple of forms. There are two functions of the cable that goes from the motherboard to the video section. One is to connect a reed switch that sleeps the computer when you close the cover. With some cable failures this switc

One might also mention that the Dual USB iBooks have a history of this. If I remember correctly, it stems from the hinge eating away at the wires that run through it. Unfortunately, I don't remember if Apple covers this as they do the iBook logic board problems. You might call Apple and see if
