Message-ID: <9a.2d4d5819.3055de65@aol.com> Hi, Has anyone out there ever experienced this? When I am using my Wallstreet on battery power, and watching a movie with my DVD drive + my DVD PC card, the PC card will sometimes abruptly eject. What causes this phenomenon? Craig W. Atlanta, GA Power corrupts. Absolute power's a blast. ?- John Fund -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm trying to help a friend and dont really want to join another forum for a single question. Has anyone experienced problems with their ibook after going to !0.4.2? Problem areas are communications to the net, dificulity getting peripherals to show (sometimes they do, othertimes, not).

I've been trying to determine if my provider is having problems with their wireless, or if my wireless and iBook are having the problem, but sometimes I'll be surfing websites, checking email and such, and the iBook will behave as if it is dead to the outside world. Anything that uses the Internet to communicate, iTunes, Safari, Mail, etc., sit and spin their wheels. However, if I put the iBook a sleep for a few moments and then wake it up, the problem will go away. I hope it is something that can be fixed in the 10.4.3 update and I hope it isn't my iBook going on the fritz again.

Updated my wife's iBook to 10.4.2 when the update was released and it works flawlessly with the net, mail, all peripherals like FW drives, USB drives and readers, FW readers, flash keys, printers, cameras, etc. NO problems what-so-ever. I would consider doing a archive install and then run your updates again and see. Or create a different new user acct and see if you still experience any issues.

Thanks Rob. - one more question... no firmware updaters > were required? > > David > Hit the wrong keys...never finished my message. Nope, none for me. I have the same situation...our iBook works great with 10.4.2 Not one issue with any kind of peripheral device nor with any internet connection. Period. Works like a charm, as it should. I concur with Rob and his wife's iBook. Maybe try an Archive install and then run your updates. Should be fine.

I did do an archive and install along the way on these at some point. They all just run great. Cheers
