Re: TiBook scratches

2002-05-24 Thread John McKee

Dear Ms. Nancy B. I think that you have a case for getting another
'book. Tears in the screen are Not acceptable, it will cause endless
irritation every time you look at it. Please, contact SmallDog and
explain the situation. I am sure the will offer to replace the machine. 

What your story tells me... is there may be an unhappy employee there
trying to cause the company problems. I have run into this before in a
firm that I was consulting for, they were able to pinpoint the
perpetrator and convict the Sod of purposely damaging the product before
shipping it out (military contract). I am almost certain that sending
out a portable computer with a tear in the screen does not reflect
SmallDog's QA policy.  If they do not support you, then we on the list
need to know this about them, because if they will not stand behind
their products new or refurbished, they will not get my money in the future.

Granted the above is only a hypothesis that may not be true. But...

Thank you for your consideration.

With respect

 Hi,
 
 Although I LOVE my TiBook, which I bought refurbished from SmallDog,
 it came out of the box with an actual tear in the screen. I guess
 that doesn't qualify as a scratch though, since the gouge actually
 extended through the entire surface of the screen, whatever it's made
 of.

Re: TiBook Screen Scratches

2002-05-24 Thread Jim Katz

One big help for me in avoiding the grease marks on screen is the handle I
put on. (Ti Book handle, or Tilt-n-tote pr spmething like that.) I never am
tempted to pick the machine up squeezing the top, and there is no pressure
walking with it. Recommended accessory, and I don't know why Apple hasn't
picked it up.

Wallstreet in Clamshell Mode?

2002-05-24 Thread bobshutts

Hello List Members:

I see that the Ti Book can be put into so-called clamshell mode.  I guess
this means you can run it with the lid shut using external monitor, keyboard
and mouse.

I would love to do this with my Wallstreet.  Is there any shareware or
system OS trick I can use to do this???

Thanks.

I don't have your model, but here's how it works on the PowerBook 
(Firewire) and the PowerBook G4:

hook everything up.
with the lid open, power on the computer.
immediately close the lid (be very careful in doing this).

(apple recommends you just use a USB keyboard with a power button)

Somewhere during the boot sequence, it realizes that the lid is closed, 
switches the built-in off, and drives the external.

The only kbase article I see about this refers to the PowerBook G3 Series 
(Bronze Keyboard), article #58334 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?
artnum=58334. I don't know if this applies to your powerbook, the 
PowerBook G3 Series.

 I've never heard of an ibook having this problem. I have it on my Pismo
 and TiBooks have it, but ibooks?
 
After about 3 months of use these scuffs (I don't think scratches properly
describes the problem) are quite apparent on my iBook (dual USB).

Not only that, since the iBook keyboard extends to within 5mm of the left
and right edge, there are also scuffs becoming visible on the plastic bezel
surrounding the LCD screen. The matte finish of the bezel is becoming shiny
where the edges of the keys make contact with it.

The problem for me is getting into the habit of laying my protective screen
saver over the keyboard prior to closing the lid. It spends 90% of the time
laying on the desk where I forgot it.

Since my iBook takes a daily trip to and from work, it spends a lot of time
squeezed inside my computer bag which is already overstuff with a lot of
other crap applying pressure to the poor thing.

Oh well, it's just a tool to work with, not a piece of art (although it is
good looking enough to draw the envious looks and comments of a lot of PC
laptop users).

No, afraid not. The WS is not designed (heat issues) to run with the lid 
closed and is mechanically designed not to boot if lid is closed, or to 
sleep if lid is closed when running with ext. monitor attached. Heat is 
partially dissipated via the keyboard. The Lombard restored this 
clamshell functionality.

Re: Torn TiBook screen

2002-05-24 Thread Nancy Butts

Hi all,

Forgive me for not making myself clear-Apple DID replace the screen 
immediately under warranty. This is one time where I cannot fault 
their customer service. I was on the phone to them as soon as I 
opened my box. I was on hold less than three minutes, the service rep 
was helpful, and Airborne Express delivered a packing box by noon the 
next day. The TiBook came back to me with a beautiful new screen a 
week later. My only complaint is that there was a new scuff mark on 
the top case, but I can fix that myself with some touchup paint.

I do wonder though how a factory-refurbished Powerbook could make it 
through even the most cursory inspection in that condition to be sold.

Nancy

Re: Ibooks running with lids closed

2002-05-24 Thread makmac

JustinLee on 5/22/02 9:49 PM wrote:

 Does anyone know if there's a hack (shareware or freeware) that allows you
 to connect the new iBooks to an external monitor and run them with the lid
 closed?  I'm not looking for an extended desktop, just something that would
 allow me to have it closed and use it with an external
 monitor/keyboard/mouse.
 

I discovered that if I plug in an external monitor on my iBook (500MHz dual
USB) and then connect my external USB hub to my iBook (which has a printer,
Palm cradle and Apple Pro Keyboard connected) it would wake up from sleep
and function like a desktop unit while the lid was closed. I think it was
because the USB hub had an external power source which would provide power
to the keyboard allowing it to signal the iBook to wake up.

Interestingly, if I plugged in the USB hub and not the monitor, the iBook
would wake, go through some brief activity, and then go back to sleep. I
assume this was because it didn't sense the external video connection.

I did all the above while keeping the screen closed.

HOWEVER! After further research, I quickly learned that this is a practice
that Apple says you should NOT do because it traps heat inside that would
normally dissipate via the keyboard and palm rest. The heat buildup can
cause not only damage to the internal components of the iBook, but possibly
to the LCD screen as well (in the form of a blotchy display or even
warping of the screen/bezel).

I quit doing this as I didn't want to risk the premature death of my iBook.

Re: Microsoft Word documents in OS 9 and OS X

Amber,

You could try the following: booting up to OS X select any Word file, right
click (or ctrl + click) and select 'Show Info'. In the upper part of the
window the is a dropdown list, click on the little arrow where it says
'General Information' and select 'Open with Application'. Click on the icon
of the Application (which should be the 'W' for word X) and the select the
word 2001 program, which is either already in the list or you can select by
browsing to your folder tree by choosing 'other..' (possible location:
Application (Mac OS 9)-Microsoft Office ?). The symbol should now stand for
word 2001. Finally click on 'Change All...' and confirm the dialog box. That
should do the job.
 
 
 I'm pretty sure the trouble with that is when he's in OS X, he'll 
 launch Classic and run Word 2001 which he doesn't want either.
 
 Seems to me one would need either an applescript (if that can tell 
 which OS its running in) or a small program. Then that would be the 
 program chosen to 'open' the word files and it would in turn launch 
 the correct version of word and tell it to open the file. Seems like 
 a pretty simple programming task, maybe someone will write it.
 

Actually, the absolute simplest method would be to a) punt Office 2001, 
stop dilly-dallying and use OSX full time, or b) punt Office X if the 
only thing you ever do in X is java development.

 Subject: Microsoft Word documents in OS 9 and OS X
 From: Amber Rhea [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Hi all,

 I just got a new iBook (500 MHz) the other day, and so far I love it.
 However, I have one question. It has OS 9 and OS X installed on the same
 partition. I have both Microsoft Office 2001 and Microsoft Office X.
 However, by default all my Word files have become associated with 
 Office X.
 (I did not have Office X on my old computer.) If I double-click a Word
 document in OS 9 I get the message To use Microsoft Word your computer 
 must
 be running MacOS X 10.1 or later. If I open Word first and then open 
 the
 file from within it, it is fine. I don't boot into OS X very often, and 
 when
 I do, it is mainly to work on Java programming and nothing else. How 
 can I
 get the computer to know to use the version of Word that coincides with 
 the
 OS I am currently using? (Does that make sense?) I assume I would have 
 to
 use ResEdit, if I can do it at all. Thanks in advance!

Nancy purchased her computer from us in January and never contacted us for

Certainly, this wasn't done by an employee, I can assure you that.

I appreciate Dawn's response and I appreciate the post on the list. Too many

Yes, ditto for me. I really like Smalldog, they're good folks.
Easy to deal with. I look forward to their Friday emails.

Well then, 

That deserves an apology on my part to the people at SmallDog. I
apologize for any hurt feelings that I may have caused. It's amazing the
people you meet on this forum. It's also reassuring.

With respect.

Re: Screen Probs

2002-05-24 Thread Ryan Coleman

At the risk of making myself extremely unpopular, I just throw sheet of A4
on top of the keyboard before I shut my Pismo.  Inevitably I make a note or
throw away the sheet before it gets grimy...and it costs, well, nothing...


um, what you see on the display is hand oils, nothing more. They wipe 
away simply. :-)

It's also really noticeable when the screen is dark while viewing a DVD.

Re: TiBook Screen Scratches

2002-05-24 Thread Don

I agree -- rarely pick up and carry the 'book when it is not in the carrying
case, but when I do, I do so with the TiHandle to avoid any torque or pressure
on the case. Also use the leather piece over the keyboard and clean with
iKlear Apple Polish. No marking or scratching thus far (over a year with ti
400), and I carry it with me every day.

 One big help for me in avoiding the grease marks on screen is the handle I
 put on. (Ti Book handle, or Tilt-n-tote pr spmething like that.) I never am
 tempted to pick the machine up squeezing the top, and there is no pressure
 walking with it. Recommended accessory, and I don't know why Apple hasn't
 picked it up.
