My G5 (Leopard 10.5.8) is located in my guest room. I have a modern iMac located two rooms away that houses almost 25 years of digital music in the Music app. I want to Home Share on the G5 so I can see my iMac's library. Problem is when I sign into iTunes on the G5 (version 10.6.3) using my...

I bought a couple of SSD's on sale over the holidays and thought that using one of them to replace the 160GB drive in my June 2004 G5 might be fun. Both of the SSD's I chose are easily seen and managed by disk utility, but neither will boot after using CCC to clone them. In researching this, it...

I just got a replacement power supply for my 30 inch Cinema HD display (They're finally down to reasonable prices on eBay if anyone is looking for one) but I didn't realize my only G5 doesn't have a Dual Link DVI card, so it can't drive the display at the native resolution.  Does anyone know...

http://sonnydickson.com/2019/04/09/video-of-apples-w-a-l-t-in-action-the-1993-edition-iphone/ I don't know if anyone else saw this, but I thought I'd post it here since it's technically a 68K Powerbook (side note: We should probably have a forum dedicated to discussion of unreleased...

I ask because I accidentally tore mine the other day when performing a HD swap. Now it's pretty much useless until I can find another one. Short of buying another 5xx, any idea if there is a replacement for it? I checked eBay, but didn't find one.

I'd like to put together a thread to gather information on a couple of PowerBook 5300 accessories that may or may not exist, and may or may not have seen the light of day. Read on to gather what I've found.  Documented by former Apple engineers in the book, AppleDesign: The Work of the Apple...

I've been hunting this baby down for years. There's one seller on eBay that tries to sell extremely hideous modified iBooks as "Pre-production" or "Special Edition" models, but they're just ugly and overpriced.  Yesterday, in my weekly eBay browse, I finally saw it: A lime iBook G3 for sale...

I recently added a G4 Cube to my collection, and it has a security plate on it. Seems pretty well ot there, as soaking it in hot water for a few hours hasn't been able to get it off. Any thoughts on the best way to remove this thing?

I opened up the box to discover a complete lack of packaging material. The unit itself has a huge crack in the CD-ROM drive door, and the subwoofer has a large crack and several chips missing. Siiiiigh...

I'm pretty excited, I won a TAM on eBay that seems to be in great shape, except for one thing - the screen appears to be dead. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181936816250?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT My guess is it's just a dead backlight. if I recall correctly, the...

I recently won an eBay auction for a Powerbook 520, where the seller did not include the AC adapter.  I did a little searching online, and found a company that claims to have new ones:  http://poweradapter.co/apple-m1893-powerbook-ac-dc-adapter-16v-15a-1a-power-supply-p-249.html Anyone have...

Earlier this year I raided a co-worker's Apple collection and bought his PowerBook 100 off of him.  Unfortunately, his did not have a battery, or even a cover. It's been sitting on the shelf with an open battery door, driving me crazy. Every so often, I'll look on eBay and Amazon for a cheap...

Recently bought a powerbook 100 from an acquaintance. He threw the battery away because it was starting to leak. I don't really want another battery, but I'd like to get a shell or just the door, for aesthetics. Any idea where I might find something like that, short of buying another pb100?

My partner's mother used to work for a local school district, and she would frequently get Mac equipment at low or no cost. She had mentioned to me that she had "an old mac" up at the family cabin, but didn't know anything about it. She said I was welcome to have it. So yesterday, we drove out...

Just received the latest addition to my collection, a 14 inch Wallstreet model. It appears to be in fantastic condition, except for one little detail: The fan never stops.  It's on full blast all the time, and I can't figure out why. From the moment the laptop is turned on, a 14 inch wind...

I recently acquired a very good condition (cosmetically) 1400c/166 from eBay, and have been playing with it a bit.  The first thing I noticed was when I plugged in the power adapter. I heard some popping, crackling and white noise from the left speaker.  I put in an audio CD to see just how...
