OK, so I just got my iBook that I bought off of eBay via USPS today, and I am very excited since this is my first Mac. However, there are a few issues that I have come across, however they might now even be issues.
First, when I start-up it says that the computer is set before a date of 2001 and could cause some applications to run improperly. I reset the date and time, and am wondering if this will cause a problem on every restart? Also, why it keeps asking me my network password everytime I restart, even when I tell it to remember this Network?
Also, the previous user has his name all over everything. For instance, on the Log-In screen it says "Previous Owner's Computer" and also in Finder it has "previous owner" next to the Home icon. Is there a way to change it to my name?
Lastly, the battery no longer holds a charge, so where would the best place be to buy a new battery for the laptop?
Thanks, and sorry if the questions are n00bish, Im a Mac n00b.
