xjukie which laptop is that?

macbook 13"

My iBook G4 cannot read my new portable hdd (Buffalo MiniStation Lite 320gb).

Have tested it at PS3 and it works fine.

Please help...

Check the drive formatting. iBook G4 meaning it's running Tiger I presume?
Tiger don't play well with WinXP format.

Yes, i'm still running Tiger.

Previously i've the same brand HDD but only 160gb and it's work well with my iBook and PS3. Decided to buy a 320gb due to my 160gb capacity almost full.

For the first time i connect it to my iBook, it can read but while transferring data suddenly the icon disappear.
Tried to reconnect but it failed to recognized the HDD anymore. Check it at my PS3 only 2 of 5 movie that been transferring is there.

A friend told me that my iBook cannot read it because it is an old model that cannot read bigger HDD.
Is it true?

That only affect internal drive and older OS.

I think you have corrupted file directory. Try repair it with tools like Disk Warrior.

Can't find the free one. Tech Tool Pro also. Is there a free download?

They are not free. Free if you bought AppleCare.

I'm a new owner of a Macbook Pro 13" and a few days ago i realised that i cant seem to be able to press Shift+z. both the buttons seem to work independantly and with other buttons (e.g. Shift+r, Command+z). and the even more intriguing this is that i am able to press Shift+Command+z. This may be a stupid question, but is this normal?
And what should i do if it isnt?

I haven't encounter this before. Have you call AppleCare?

Just Contacted them. A service personnel guided me through a restart and he confirmed that the problem isn't intended. In the end he said it was likely a hardware problem and advised me to send my MBP to a service centre. The only problem is there isnt any authorised service centre in Kuching that's on his list... Any one can point me to one in Kuching??

i tried downloading mp3 from www.mtv123.com
but both safari and firefox gave 'Directory Listing Denied Error' when i clicked on the link.
does anyone know what's the problem?

bagfatnick, I'm not sure if Mac Borneo anywhere near you.

deathninjax, add "www." in front.

Have any of you encountered this situation before? You turned your mac off,start cleaning it back and front,basically everywhere,flipping it on its back and front and then suddenly you cant turn it ON?

I experienced it before,called up a technician friend of mine and he said maybe my Logicboard gone, but i said noo-lah and asked him whether the keyboard ribbon is the culprit? he said its worth a shot, so i decided to take out the screws,oh btw im using a late 2006 white MB with no warranty,heres a guide for the fainthearted.

I was right, the ribbon was loose,this thing here:

It was loose,i popped it back in, and wahlaa my MB came back to life

Hi,

Anyone who owned the MacBook Pro 15" facing the problem to connect from MiniDVI (Mac) to VGA TV??? seems not communicate at all..but it works on MacBook White...

For MacBook Pro with DVI port it's best to use DVI - HDMI converter.
I presume you are using LCD TV. On the TV you connect with HDMI, but the source you change to computer and the resolution will be adjusted accordingly.

Very cheap mar, some graphic card even give it free. I bought one for <RM20.
