- 14" iBook G3 900/640/40 _ _ Power Macintosh G3 All-In-One 315/768/20 _ _ 20 GB iPod
Greetings everyone. I just purchased my first Mac, a 14" iBook, two days ago. It hasn't taken me too long to get somewhat familiar with it, and I absolutely love it. I do have a few questions though.
First, I've had some trouble playing some of my old MPEG's. Videos that were 30 min. on my PC will only play the first 50 sec. or so on my iBook. How can I remedy this?
Also, I'm used to the defrag and disk utilities in Windows. It doesn't seem that Jaguar has these features, except for the First Aid disk program. What else can/should I do to keep my Mac's HD in optimum shape.
Finally, I'd like to add some RAM, but I've heard that some manufacturers' RAM has some sort of "firmware" problems. What is the best RAM for my iBook?
Thanks for any help.
