I have an iPod Nano! Unfortunately the first thing I did was accidently change the language into Japanese. How do I fix it?
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Daniel, I took out the old battery but then the power button wouldn't work.
Need a new battery, not just taking out the old.
It's worth the attempt, no?

Thanks, Sue. I gave it to TCG, who fixed it.

Ugh. I should have said the power button STILL wouldn't work.
My friend gave me ANOTHER G4, which turns out not to help all that much as it is 733mz model which will not allow me to upgrade to 10.4, or download flash or, firefox, or anything else of much use.
It's now I have 5, count them, FIVE macs...three of which work great, except that the tech world has passed them by.
As for the recalcitrant G4, I swapped out the battery with the 733 model, as that one is proven to work.
This time, when I hit the power button, it glowed white for a minute and I could hear the fans whirring...so power...but no chime and no screen.
Nada. The blackness of the blackest black.
Is this mini mac at dealmac a good deal?
Is there a better deal anywhere? Anybody upgrading and want to sell a poor therapist something that will actually work?
I feel like I should head out on the street with a sandwich board that says, "Will trade peace of mind/problem solving for good quality tech.
I wouldn't even be kidding.

Bwuh? I have a 450 Mhz G4 and I'm running 10.4.11
I run flash, firefox, etc.

Ah well.
I seem to have discovered the problem. There is no dvd player, which is why, I'm assuming, my 10.4 disc won't work.
The flash installer tells me it needs 10.4.
Firefox says, unable to install.
Apparently everything needs 10.4 but I can't install it.
I am so weary of these issues. Seriously.

Can you take the dvd drive from one of the others?

Ugh. I have a Phillips DVD+-RW SDVD8820 on my laptop. I'm trying to burn DVDs of video files from Christmas, but I keep getting an error message saying the files can't be copied to the DVD. I remember having this problem before and finding a solution, but can't for the life of me remember what that was. Any ideas?

I've found with burning DVD's and getting errors, that it's typically the burner doesn't like the media. Have you used that media in that burner before? If not, try a different brand.
