In most cases the odor dissipates after a brief period. This is normal. In some cases, an unusual odor may be detected when a product has been turned on and allowed to warm up to operating temperature. Typically, the odor is detected when the product is new, similar to odors generated from new carpeting or a new car. In most cases the odor dissipates after a brief period. If the odor persists, place the unit in a well-ventilated room and allow it to operate over an extended ]]> Mon, 19 Jul 1999 09:33:57 -0500 Release date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 07:33:57 -0500; Views: 19 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58454 The sharpness of the LCD panel in the iBook computer may vary depending on the selected resolution. Traditionally LCD panels have been limited to one resolution because the panels are digital in design and have a fixed number of pixels. In the case of the original iBook and FireWire iBooks, that native resolution is 800 x 600. For white iBooks, the native resolution is 1024 x 768.

For example, your PowerBook G4 computer's SuperDrive may have a maximum 8x DVD burn speed, but if the drive can't determine whether a disc is able to handle that speed, it will burn at the drive's minimum speed for the media, to ensure that the burn is successful. When you insert a blank disc, it's not actually completely blank.

Answer: Mobile phones come in two varieties, analog and digital. Analog phones closely resemble the land line telephone network that we are most familiar with. Some mobile phones allow you to connect the phone to the internal modem of a PowerBook or iBook. Although this may work, Apple does not provide support for it. Digital mobile phones are unable to use the internal modem in PowerBook and iBook computers because their modems are designed to be used with an analog telephone network, ]]> Thu, 11 Sep 2003 07:33:57 -0500 Release date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 07:33:57 -0500; Views: 17 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86186 Symptom The computer does not write CD-R discs at the maximum speed, even though the discs are labeled as being capable of writing at higher speeds. Products affected PowerBook G4 with Combo drive iBook with Combo drive Solution Use CD-R discs that are capable of writing at 16x speed. The 16x or maximum option should be selected, if available, prior to inserting a blank disc. If so, the Combo drive is behaving correctly.
