Airport card sporadic cutoff disconnect fix 10.4.3

2006-01-05 Thread Kris Tilford
I have a couple iBooks that developed bad Airport connections recently. They sporadically would go off and not find any networks, and then just come back on full strength for no apparent reason. It appears the cause is that I mistakenly installed the Airport Update 2005-001 which was meant

My iBook lost the ability to connect via Airport card at all. When Airport was turned ON in the menubar it found no networks at all, just as if the card was broken. The solution I've found was to download KisMac and then use the KisMac active Airport driver, in teh KisMac preferences I

I ran into this problem the other day when trying to fix a PC using downloads from the Microsoft site to my Mac. I turns out the MS site will only download correctly to MS Explorer browsers on any platform, so you'll need to fire up Explorer and re-download. I don't know if you follow any

Re: Auto adapter revised

2005-05-18 Thread Kris Tilford
I think the laptop auto adapters are too expensive. It's much cheaper to buy a small 120v AC inverter than fits your lighter plug that's larger wattage than your regular wall charger and then use your regular charger in the car. Sam's Club has 70-watt inverters for $13.24 each. You can also

Dead (ish) Wallstreet help ?

2005-05-10 Thread Kris Tilford
I've got a Wallstreet given to me that is somewhat dead. It was working normally and then one day refused to startup. The power key alone won't start it. The reset keys combination Shift-Fn-Ctl-Power will get the green light and fan going, but there is no sign of life in the LCD and no noise

My brother has a clamshell 366 iBook with a 60 GB 4,200 RPM HD now as a single partition with 10.3.9 9.2.2. He rarely uses 9.2.2, but does still use it regularly, so it can't be OS X only. He recently has tried to play so video's (DVD or MOV format) and has a slight stuttering which may be

I was wondering if you can boot off of an external USB2 hard drive. - Rudi My understanding is that since USB isn't shown in the device tree it can't be booted in a normal way. You can select it in Startup Disk but it won't boot. I believe some type of hack could be written to allow USB

I really liked that color code/muffin cup idea for keeping track of screws when taking an ibook apart. I recently took all the lower dash panels off my car to wire it for an amp, and I had three screws left over when the project was done. Thanks! The really neat part is that if you walk away and
