Re: Next Powerbook after Lombard?

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with a Lombard - and I have 3 different certified mac chips various sizes plus 2 others. And all I have is OS10.3. Tired of trying to get it to work. So what model would be a good next step up that would take 10.3 and run all the current programs??? Linda In a

Next Powerbook after Lombard?

Hi, I have a Lombard thats driving me crazy. I really love it but will probably end up getting rid of it because I have struggled way to many hours trying to get OSX on it with no success. I upgraded the battery, bought two new "certified mac" chips 256 and 128 from OWC, a new shell, a 10 gig

HELP with Lombard & upgrading to Panther

Hi, I have a Lombard. I tried to put Panther on it and it didn't work. Had a hunch I had some bad memory - or actually one of the chips that is recognized half size due to configuration. Anyway ordered the right chip (low profile for lower slot) now have 64 meg (OEM) on top, and 256 on bottom

Powerbook/DVD Burning

I have a 933 G4 powerbook, Panther and ilife. I have an internal CD-RW drive for burning but want to burn DVD's. Been looking at the Pioneer A08 burner 16x now available. I see its USB 2.0 and don't know if a firewire version is out there too. If I want to burn DVD's with my powerbook how wo

Re: ibook & burning DVD's-additional question

I saw at Best Buy one of the Pioneer 108 dvd burners on sale, if I put that in a firewire case will that model work? Also its 16x - will slower DVD media burn on it? Of course, time is money but the slower media is cheaper. I confirmed I have a ibook 933 G4 model Thanks in advance, Linda

Re: ibook/dvd burning

Thanks Laurent - there was some info at xlr8yourmac about putting a file in the user folder and it should recognize other external drives. I guess one more question - does anyone have any recommendations for a good external dvd burner (R & RW) that has experience working with idvd? I have

ibook/dvd burning

I have a 933ibook G4 that has a CD-RW burner. I want to cheaply burn some dvd's with a simple menu. I thought I would buy iLife (idvd) and get an external burner. Will this work? And what burner would work with this configuration or would there be a better cheap option? TIA, Linda --

Re: Lombard & OSX

Thanks, for all the suggestions. I think its related to the memory. Will move the 128k stick (actually a 256 but its a dual sided so only sees 128) from the top to the bottom and see what happens. Right now when both stick are in OSX goes only as far as the installation screen, and when I

Re: Lombard & OSX

How do I get to the lower slot? The top one is easy to find. The bottom one has the 64 meg chip in, so I thought I would switch them and take out the 64 meg. I took out the top larger chip and only the original 8.6 disk will boot up - the panther disks won't. Any help is appreciated. Als

Install OS9 after Panther

I just got a ibook with panther on it. When I try to select classic it gives me a warning "you do not have a version of Mac OS9 installed that supports classic. Install Mac 9.1 or later." How can I install classic and not ruin the Panther installation? I have a original 9.1 software system

Memory Problem

I have a 333 Lombard (8.6) with the original 64mb memory & an additional 64MB module . I bought a new 256mb 144 - Pin SODIMM 133mhz SDRAM to replace the second module. When I installed it all kinds of weird things happened: 1- I'm connected to a network via ethernet, and it would have apple sha
