Re: Netscape Emergency Help

[K]

Greetings Listas,
I would like to thank everyone that took the time to send me info on how to
try to resurrect a deleted user profile in N/S 4.79.  Unfortunately, I was
unable to restore anything due to the fact that my 20 year old son ran
Norton
Utilities following the deletion.  He ran Disk Doctor then Speed Disk to
defrag the hd and it appears that everything is well and truly trashed.
Rest
assured that we are having a VERY detailed discussion about his actions...It

turns out that he disagrees vehemently with me politically and didn't care
for
the political discussion groups that I follow..He thinks that the Fox News
Network is the Fountain of Truth and I don't.  I will try to create a new
profile and see if there is a way to password protect it so he can't access
it
at all. Anyone know how to do that?
At any rate, it really feels good to belong to such a caring and helpful
community.
Again, thanks so much to everyone..
Best regards,
Mike Kochkodin

Well, if you would be using OS X, then every user has its own set of
profiles, and nobody can't access them, besides the owner. If you're running
OS 9, you might get something similar if you run Multiple Users. But
Multiple Users is not very hard to bypass, if one knows how to do it...

Good Deal Alert

[Dan Pennington]

G-Book Listers
I've got a Pismo 500 that came with a 12 gig hard drive.  I swapped 
out the 12 gig for a 40 gig drive and put the 12 gig into  an 
external USB enclosure that I bought online for a fairly low price. 
It worked transferring all my stuff to the new drive, but very slowly.
I had to use it to backup and reinstall all my stuff when I recently 
did a partitioning of the 40 gig drive to get ready to install OS X. 
Again very slow.
Next time it won't be so slow.  I bought a new FireWire enclosure for 
the old drive on eBay from this guy:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2056413320
$29 for the enclosure and $10 for shipping - seemed like a good deal 
to me.  Got the box in the mail today.  Took 5 minutes to put the 12 
gig drive in the box, plug into a FW port on my Pismo, no software to 
load, and it popped right up on my desktop in OS X.  I test 
transferred a large folder full of stuff to the internal hard drive 
and it seemed only a little slower than from one partition to another 
on the internal drive and amazingly faster than the USB transfer.  If 
you are in need of an external 2.5 inch hard drive box, try this one. 
I think the guy on ebay has a handful of ads for these.  I don't know 
him/her and I have no connection the business.  Just passing on what 
I think is a good deal.

Re: Sleepless hard drive still sleepless in CT

[Joseph Ellis]

Still no joy. The procedure outlined before doesn't work. Resetting 
PRAM has not affected the problem and booting into OS 9 doesn't work. 
It would appear I have a defective power manager circuit. So now what? 
Live with it for now I guess.

The easiest way is actually opening the keyboard. You'll see the 
airport card right there without having to really "open up the 
machine". Otherwise, you can look in the System Preferences->Network 
and see if a network port for Airport exists... Airport is only an 
option if an Airport card is present.

Cannot print from Entourage

[Tim Leverenz]

I cannot print from Entourage using an Samsung ML1210. All was fine yesterday, but 
this morning nothing. Print Center says it went, printer lights flash, occasionally 
printer may warm up, but no prints. If I send another document right after(Entourage 
included) all will print. If I ask for 2 copies from Entourage, all will print. But to 
print 1 copy of 1 e-mailnothing. All other programs print so far. Nothing has been 
added or upgraded since 10.2.1 was released. As I said, all worked perfectly until 
today.

In that case, yeah, should be no problem. You'll have to install the

Exactly. It's like getting a Firewire enclosure these days, to put your old (IDE) HD 
in after upgrading; this one's from Apricorn, with a 6 inch cable that plugs directly 
onto the HD's pins, and has a PCMCIA card at the other end. Bootable, very nice for

Good point about the RAM...the memory test can be turned off by holding

Re: wall street power questions

[Byron Gardner]

Chris, I find that long delay in both my Wallstreets running OS 9.2.2 
and I have found it due to networking configurations. If I disconnect 
the ethernet cable, the delay is much shorter. I see the same behavior 
with OS 10.2.1. But I know what you mean about long--it is really 
annoying.

The battery issue is interesting as I am guessing you are also a PC 
laptop user such as I. (Have to as that is what my job calls for---not 
my choice people so please no nastygrams)

The Wallstreet batteries from Apple have lights on them which light up 
as the battery is charging. Third party batteries do not with the 
exception of BTI batteries. The only way to see if the batteries are 
charging are by looking at a running PB and in the menu bar the battery 
icon has the lighten bolt by it. PC laptops all have some kind of light 
indicating charging and connection status. I guess Apple feels they are 
better than that. Of course, when you own the software and the box it 
goes in you can do what you want. (That's why some feel that Jaguar 
should be named Cheatah since it takes $129.00 to own it.)

In any case, there is no charging light except on the original Apple 
batteries and Apple ain't making those anymore

BTW, I am not an expert but have had my original Wallstreet for 11 
years now. It has served well. The other was a hand me down but just as 
rugged. They are good machines, last of the serial machines.

Take care,
Byron

Re: wall street power questions

[DavidWedge]

Chris,

The reason for this is that your Wallstreet probably has a large amount of 
RAM, and the time is due to the machine testing the RAM before starting up. 
If you want a fast startup, pull all but 32mb of RAM out of your 
machine--it'll start up much faster! ; )

Unfortunately, there is no charging indicator on the Wallstreet either. The 
battery will begin showing lights a few seconds after it begins 
charging--that is your indicator.  However, if the machine is on, there will 
be an indicator in the top menu bar (over to the right of the clock), showing 
AC charging, battery dead, etc.

An easy way to know if your machine is charging is to listen when you plug 
your AC unit into the wall--it'll 'pop' when it plugs in, and occasionally 
spark. that tells you there is power,and the unit will begin charging. Don't 
freak out--it's perfectly normal to spark slightly (or make a pop-ing sound); 
that's just the capacitors in the AC adaptor getting charged up to do the 
dirty work

Thanks,
David

Use Network Utility to check the Ethernet interfaces you have on your
machine. Usually, you should have 2: the regular, 100 Mbits wired Ethernet
and the wireless one. Usually, wireless is defined as 'en1'. Or, you can use
Apple System Profiler maybe, but I think that this will show you the active
interface, so if the AirPort card is not active for some reason, you won't
see it, so I suggest you try Network Utility first. You can use any version
of AirPort Base Station. I believe that if your card doesn't have the proper
firmware, the AirPort software will update it, but I'm not sure on that one.

Re: airport card in Pismo

[Joe Ellis]

You can check to see if the card is installed by opening the internet
connect panel in system preferences and telling it to turn on airport. If
the card is installed you should see the panel with a signal level
indicator, even if you are not near another airport machine (the indicator

On my Lombard there are 4 green lights on the battery itself.
When it's deeply discharged it starts with one light. As it charges it
increases the #. When fully charged no lights.

wall street power questions

[Christopher Hack]

hi G-book world.

I have a WallStreet, and a couple of questions for the powerbook experts out
there.
1. can anyone tell me why there is what seems like a huge gap between the
time when I press the start button and get that wonderful "apple sound", and
when the hard disk starts spinning. I have timed this at 28 seconds.
2. also, I have long been surprised there is no flashing light on the
machine to indicate when the power is connected and the battery charging,
something which seems common on every other laptop I've seen. is there a
broken bulb in my machine, or is there really no "charging light" on the
wallstreet.

many thanks in advance.


Chris

ps. much gratutude for this excellent list. i have learnt so much in the
last few months!

Well, no the card readers need no drivers. They will appear as 
removeanble drives.

As for the PCMCIA drive, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Is this 
a hard drive with a PCMCIA interface or what?

Re: Sleepless hard drive still sleepless in CT

[DavidWedge]

have you tried resetting the Open Firmware??

The process for doing this is as follows:
1. swear off any revenge against me if your computer dies completely, 
self-destructs, or catcches fire.
2. startup, holding down Apple+Opt+O+F (Open Firmware)
3. Type:   reset-nvram  (then hit return)
4 You should get an "OK"
5. Type: reset-all (then hit return)
6  Type: reboot

that should do it.

Thanks,
David

IBM has just released the TravelStar 40 GNX, the fifth
generation of 5400rpm 2.5in. HDDs. This newest entry
is only 9.5mm high (older gens were 12.5mm), and spins
on ultra-quiet liquid bearings.

I ordered mine last week, and it rocks! Googlegear has
since lowered the price five bucks, to the most
excellent price of $158 plus $.50 Fedex two day
shipping. See

try opening up the G3 and pulling and reseating the USB card. (Actually,

<< Well last night I took the plunge and decided to re-install OS X to see if

it would correct my sleepless Pismo. First I tried to do an Archive and

Install. While the installation went off without a problem, I still had a

sleepless machine after all that! S, decided to roll out the big guns,

backed everything up to my external firewire drive and did a full clean

install, interestingly when I completed the initial install of Jaguar and I

completed entering my baseline information, name, address, .mac account

data, etc. it immediately launched software update and told me it wanted to

install 10.2.1, iTunes 3.01, and the security update. I let that proceed and

after completion I presume I now have (before reloading backups) a clean

system with the latest updates. BUT THE MACHINE IS STILL SLEEPLESS!  Use the

menu item, screen blanks then lights up again, close the lid, the backlight

goes out and the sleep light pulses; but I can hear the hard drive cycling.

I opened the process viewer but I'm not sure that it can help. Rather than

list them all, it says there are 32 processes running. Perhaps someone else

could check their machine and see if the number correlates to theirs. I did

have a Bluetooth adapter and a wireless mouse plugged into the USB ports,

but I unplugged them and still have the problem.

I am now officially at the bottom of my bag of tricks, anyone got a

suggestion?

Maybe some of these steps will help discover the root of the problem.

Important information about system sleep 

Certain system settings may prevent your computer from going to sleep. You 
may notice that the screen dims and the sleep indicator light pulses, but the 
internal fan still runs. 

Many communications programs, such as PPP, Apple Remote Access, and other 
dialup programs, monitor the computer's modem port to check for incoming 
transmissions when set to auto-answer incoming calls. This may prevent the 
computer from going into sleep completely. 

If the Configure pop-up menu in the TCP/IP control panel (Mac OS 9) is set to 
Using DHCP Server, your computer may not sleep when your Web browser or email 
application is open or a file server is mounted on your desktop. Quit these 
applications and unmount file servers when they are not being used. 

The Palm Desktop HotSync function may prevent your computer from going to 
sleep. To turn off the HotSync function, open Palm Desktop and choose Setup 
from the HotSync menu. Then click the Disabled button and verify that the 
"Enable HotSync software at system startup" checkbox is not selected. Turn 
HotSync back on when you want to synchronize with your Palm-compatible 
device. 

If you use fax software, such as FAXstf, and the software is set to 
auto-answer, your computer may not sleep completely. The screen will dim 
(instead of turn off). To allow your computer to sleep, disable 
auto-answering. To disable auto-answering in FAXstf, open FaxBrowser and 
choose Settings from the Edit menu. Then choose the FaxModem icon and choose 
Never from the Answer On pop-up menu. 

Note: If you connect a USB device while the computer is in sleep, your 
computer wakes.

This is a bit off topic, but it does involve a g3. In addition to my Pismo I

I'm sure this works on powerbooks with built in firewire.
I'm not sure how this could work with a Wallstreet, wouldn't the
firewire card need to load extensions before you could see the external
CDRW? 
Let us know if you make it work, might motivate me to get a firewire

Well, I don't have 9 installed. Didn't reset power manager, will try it
tonight, although I do believe I tried that before I did the re-install and
it didn't change anything, will try resetting PRAM also.
Can anyone give me an idea of how many processes should be running with a
clean OS 10.2.1 install without anything attached to a powerbook with an
installed airport card that is talking with an ABS.

9 will take several seconds to wake up if AppleTalk is on. Before I switched
full time to OS X, I had to keep AppleTalk off all the time and turn it only
when I really needed it, like printing to my LaserWriter. All the other
time, it was off because that wake up delay was really annoying...

Is the machine sleeping under 9? Did you try resetting the power manager?

Well last night I took the plunge and decided to re-install OS X to see if
it would correct my sleepless Pismo. First I tried to do an Archive and
Install. While the installation went off without a problem, I still had a
sleepless machine after all that! S, decided to roll out the big guns,
backed everything up to my external firewire drive and did a full clean
install, interestingly when I completed the initial install of Jaguar and I
completed entering my baseline information, name, address, .mac account
data, etc. it immediately launched software update and told me it wanted to
install 10.2.1, iTunes 3.01, and the security update. I let that proceed and
after completion I presume I now have (before reloading backups) a clean
system with the latest updates. BUT THE MACHINE IS STILL SLEEPLESS!  Use the
menu item, screen blanks then lights up again, close the lid, the backlight
goes out and the sleep light pulses; but I can hear the hard drive cycling.
I opened the process viewer but I'm not sure that it can help. Rather than
list them all, it says there are 32 processes running. Perhaps someone else
could check their machine and see if the number correlates to theirs. I did
have a Bluetooth adapter and a wireless mouse plugged into the USB ports,
but I unplugged them and still have the problem.
I am now officially at the bottom of my bag of tricks, anyone got a
suggestion?

I'm using 9.2.2 and the AppleTalk is on for Airport to work..it stays on when the
system sleeps and no problems on wake-up.
