Carlos, I do not know the specifics of your iBook but on my PowerBook running OSX 10.1.5 there is a small recessed button with a triangle next to it on the back between the S-Video out and the telephone line in connections. Your manual will identify the proper location for your iBook.
When my machine locks up and will not recover through the normal means like ?Quit? or ?Force Quit?, I have to push this button and the machine does a complete reset. I never loose any saved data but the machine time and calendar revert back to some pre-assigned period. Just click on your time in the tool bar and correct to the proper settings and apply the changes. Another symptom of the time shift occurs when you cannot access web sites your were previously able to access. Also any e-mail you send will arrive at your recipient?s mail box with the date established your computer clock. This could place it a the bottom of some very long lists and probably get no attention. Good luck.
