I’m not too clued up on computers but is it worth getting a new hard drive or more ram or whatever, or would buying a new computer be cheaper? It’s not my main computer but i’ll be taking my new MacBook away to uni so my mum needs one, but the Powerbook is just useless at the moment!

It is possible for you to upgrade your operating system to make it a little faster.

If this doesn’t work then you could try looking for a cheap Laptop on ebay or mabye amazon, but i would advise you to buy it new.

I have a disk in my Powerbook 4 that I need to eject. But I cannot get it to start up properly to do it. The technician told me of a way if I could get the power on, but I forgot.

Any ideas?
I don’t have an eject button…help.

According to the Apple boot keys list, you should be able to press and hold F12 to eject the disc before boot (press power and immediately press and hold F12 until the disc pops out).
If that doesn’t work then turn he computer off and back on, right after the startup sound press and hold Command-O-F. After the "Welcome to Open Firmware" screen at the prompt type "eject cd" and press return. After the disc ejects type "mac-boot" and press return. Boot will continue.

I have a fully charged battery. Even shows full in the toolbar. But when I power up my Powerbook, I get the message that I am running on reserve power and after a few minutes the computer shuts down. Once I hook up to my power cable it works fine. But I cannot use this Laptop on the go because the battery won’t last. What gives?

The Apple Support forum should be your first stop with Apple questions.

I’m having a lot of things missing and want to see whats going on. The Powerbook has a DVD. Will the harddrive act as recordable media or should I buy some DVD? Do I need software? Is it S-video?
No instructions came with the camera.

I would suggest looking for instructions for your camera online as that will determine what you can and cannot do. Secondly, the DVD drive will be good for creating archives of video, but the hard drive is where the video would be stored. Any questions regarding the Laptop and camera depend on their models, which we need to help further.

I have a Mac Powerbook G4 Laptop, I was wondering how I could clean the screen without damaging it?

Go to Best Buy television section. Get a bottle and cloth of Blue Monster or Monster Blue. Excellent for screens.

I need a used Laptop specifically for music and music production. All I will really be using on it is Garageband and Itunes and the internet, so I don’t think it is necessary to buy a new macbook. I play guitar am and in a band, and I am looking at used computers in the 350-550 dollar range. If anyone does not think that the powerbook is effecient, please reccomend another, and it would be convienent if it were affordable.

It is over-efficient. You can easily support garageband with a lower-end mac, millions of people have. Plus Powerbooks are absurdly priced. You’ll have about 4x the necessary processor speed, 8x the necessary ram, etc

If you’ve got the dough, no reason to say no.

Powerbook G4 12″ Unboxing

Here’s my new Powerbook! Even though I love my little G4, it needs to shape up in the power department! My battery goes wakko (Animaniac geeks will laugh at that) all the time and the power adapter rarely charges the computer. So I’m probably going to be taking my little G4 in to my Apple Authorized Reseller or whatever they are called these days and have them take a look at it and see if a new battery/adapter is in charge. I wish my little PowerBook didn’t have these problems! GAH! Plus all technology hates me today, but that video is still in the editing portion so you should see it soon…

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

My internal wireless on my Powerbook G4 1.5ghz 15inch has finally died. Everything else works. Is it possible to buy a card to use in the pc slot or usb? Does the original wifi have to be disabled for that to work? Whats a good replacement? Thanks

I would check with AppleCare to see if you can just install a new Airport Card in it. On alot of them you can. If it is the old Airport cards than you would have to buy one online or something and install it.

Apple.com should have that for you.

discussions.apple.com
would be an excellant place for this question, not that this isn’t good, but there are alot of experts and mac users there. You can post your question if you create an apple id or have one, or you can search by finding your computer on the hardware list or airport list and then looking for results.

But you should also be able to get an external adaptor for it. It would be USB if so.
