I don't think a Firewire port could give the laptop the 46 Watts that it
needs to run, and at the correct polarity etc. So unless anyone wants to
correct me, no it can't.

cigarette lighter adapter

2002-11-13 Thread John Slavin

Hello all:

I bought an iPod for my daughter, together with kit that includes an 
auto adapter.  It plugs into the firewire port on the ipod to provide 
power.  I was wondering if this could also be used to power her iBook 
which has a firewire port.  Anybody know?

Apple only supports up to 512MB RAM in the machine. Check out Knowledge 
Base article #43126 
.

That stated the machine will handle up to 1GB.

When I want to connect to a Windows shares, I usually select "Connect to
server..." at the Finder. Then, I click in the left column, not on any item
and that seems to refresh the different kind of protocols that are
available. In that left column, you should see the server name, or an IP
address. That's how I select.

I just currently installed OS X.2 in my Pismo. In the first day I installed it I 
connect the Pismo

later on when i tried to connect again to the office server it always failed. How do I

Well this is interesting. I just checked the subscriber list for the swap 
list -- mac.com email addresses only.

Almost every single subscription in feed mode reports 17 bounces. Nearly 
every subscription in digest mode says 6 bounces.

Coincidence? I think not.

I am also posting this to a few of our other lists so that swap list 
subscribers can know what Apple is up to and request that they stop 
blocking this list that you've subscribed to.

November notes from Mom

2002-11-13 Thread Dan Knight

This is the first of two emails I'm sending to all of the lists this 
evening. This one covers a bunch of little topics; the second will 
address top vs. bottom posting.


--> Annoying Messages From the List Server

We are aware of the annoying messages. We have made Maclaunch aware of 
the problem. It has been going on for months, and it looks unsolvable. We 
do not run the server; we have no way to fix it.

We will be making an end run around the problem eventually. That's the 
next point.


--> lemlists.com

We have registered our own domain specifically for handling our 30-some 
email lists. We have the server up and running, and I will be leading a 
team in the creation of the greatest list management software ever 
devised for handling multiple lists. But it's going to take time.

After I send these emails out, I will begin to outline the program and 
the steps needed to create it on the Mac Webmasters email list. If you 
have programming experience and are at all interested in this open source 
project, please join the list.

It is most likely that the program will be written in PHP and make 
extensive use of MySQL. Other suggestions will be welcome on the list.


--> Off Topic vs. On Topic Postings

These are unmoderated lists. Except for the swap list, where discussion 
is forbidden, we try to keep the focus on the Mac and Mac related issues. 
Mac related includes things you do on the Mac, such as printing, browsing 
the Web, handling email, etc.

We have some leeway for off topic postings, but not much. The busier the 
list, the less likely we are to welcome an off topic thread coming along 
and taking over digest after digest. This is particularly true of lists 
such as PCI PowerMacs, Vintage Macs, and the iMac List, which are already 
quite busy.


--> The Nannies

The list nannies help keep the lists on target, try to correct violations 
of netiquette, and have the full authority to temporarily or permanently 
ban subscribers in cases where they believe it is necessary. They also 
have their own list where they can discuss these decisions with each 
other.

In a pinch, a nanny can act on a list that isn't their own, but this will 
mostly take place if the regular nanny is on vacation.

If you have problems with the way a nanny is handling something, don't 
rant on the list -- send a reasonable note to the nanny. Rants will 
generally be grounds for unsubscribing someone permanently.


--> The Lists

We runs a host of lists. One for pre-G3 PowerBooks and another for G3 and 
G4 'Books. One for pre-PCI Power Macs, one for pre-G3 PCI Power Macs, and 
one for G3 and G4 models. We also have clone lists for Motorola, Power 
Computing, and Umax, as well as the Old Mac MP list for the DayStar 
clones and other dual- and quad-processor models.

We have a list just for System 6, and another for those installing OS X 
on unsupported hardware. We have national lists for Canada, the UK, and 
down under (mostly Australia and New Zealand). We even have lists for the 
Apple II, Lisa, and Newton.

Because of this, we ask that you try to ask questions on the appropriate 
list. We allow some leeway, but not too much. For instance, don't ask 
iMac questions on the Vintage Macs list. Plus or minus a generation is 
our guideline if you must ask questions about off topic hardware.


--> The List Mom

I am running myself ragged. I will be taking most of the last week of the 
month off. I need to get away from the responsibilities of 30-some 
mailing lists, 3-5 new articles on Low End Mac, and all the other stuff 
for a few days. Clear my head. Let the nannies handle the lists. Maybe 
even find some time to do some programming, photography, reading, etc.

OS X Mail problem

2002-11-13 Thread Amber Rhea

Hi all,

Just recently I've begun experiencing a problem with Mail in OS X. I'm 
running 10.1.5 on an iBook. Sometimes, after I receive new mail, when I 
click on a new message to open it, I get the spinning beachball 
cursor... forever! (I've let it go for several minutes.) Then I have to 
force quit. Often when I re-open Mail after that, it is fine.

This seems to happen truly randomly. It's not *that* big of a deal to me 
since it hasn't been a major inconvenience, but I don't like to force 
quit too much for fear of doing damage (what type, I don't know, but I 
just don't like it). Any thoughts?

Pismo Ram & IBM HD

2002-11-13 Thread Joel Furtek

Hey all,
Just wanted to report that I've installed my second 512MB ram card 
from OWC and my Pismo is up and running fine with 1GB.  Both have 
PC133 stickers on them.  Shipping was $1.50 more for Express than 
ground, so I ordered Friday night, it shipped on Saturday (not 
expected) and with the holiday was here on Tuesday.
My GNX 40MB drive is also, knock on wood, operating flawlessly.
I use this machine for daily office work, but also do a daily dose of 
iMovie and iPhoto, and it's the master for my iPod, so the ram and 
hard drive space are a big benefit.
Apple really got it right on this powerbook!  A great package when 
new, I can't express the ease of upgrade relative to my (now sold) PB 
2400.  Same when going from a Powermac 8500 to the G3 Blue & White.
Now I just need to schedule the down time for the G4 upgrade...
:-)
Best,
Joel

George
I have the same router and have used it with Comcast cable and Earthlink
DSL.
The key in my case was cloning the MAC address so that the router
identified itself as the same device that the cable modem (or DSL modem)
was originally hooked up with.
I had to upgrade the router firmware to 1.37.9b on my original
non-wireless Linksys router to enable MAC address cloning. I think the
wireless router came with the later firmware.
Open the configuration page for your router and look for an "advanced"
tab in the upper right corner. Once you've selected "advanced" you
should have a tab labeled "MAC Addr. clone" where you can type in the
MAC from your pismo.
For what it's worth I have nothing entered in "host name" or "domain
name" and I have "obtain an IP address automatically" selected.

Powerbook G3

I have the exact same thing you have--a Lombard with 192 meg 
running Office 98.  It originally came with OS 8.5 and you should at 
least be running 8.6, but I presume you are running OS9.1. There is 
no problem with speed and you don't need more RAM.  HOWEVER, in my 
experience, one  must always use virtual memory with all Microsoft 
products of that era.   This has nothing to do with the amount of 
RAM, it apparently has to do with the way Microsoft prefers the 
virtual-memory memory-manager.  So set the VM to 193 (or 250, 
whatever).

HP is notorious for not updating their drivers.  (the 
consequences of this are worse in the Windows world), but check out 
their web page anyway for drivers.   I have found that everything 
works much better in OS 9.1 than in 8.x, but I don't have your 
printer.   As noted by others, defragging an overloaded drive doesn't 
help as much as dumping files, although if you are using the computer 
primarily for Office '98, you shouldn't be even close to filling 5 
out of 6 Gigs.

You might try printing pages wit, say, 1 letter in Times font 
or forcing Black & White in the driver, to see if certain settings 
are causing a problem, but only use brand-new documents from scratch. 
Try setting the print driver to the fastest and coarsest setting. 
(Question:  Does the printer take 14 minutes to start printing?  or 
does it start immediately and go really slow from there?)

Try starting documents that are brand new.  MSWord can create 
haunted documents that mess up your system.  These documents are the 
suck-egg dogs of your computer and must be destroyed.   If you are 
using bad documents for templates this can make MSWord worthless. 
(These documents may have one invisible character somewhere that is 
causing the print driver to spend 14 minutes and 59 seconds to print 
nothing and the last second to print your document.

The same is true of your MSWord preference files.  You may 
have haunted preferences and styles, etc.   Even if you delete the 
specific header, footer, template or preference that was causing the 
problem the Haunting will refuse to die and in my experience the only 
thing to do is delete everything related to MSWord (except your old 
docs) and reconstruct them from scratch.  This is based  upon my 
experience using Word for 16 years.   I recall having to do this with 
Word 98 on my Secretary's Cube within the last 2 years.

Re: Virtual RAM problem in Pismo under Jaguar

Jim, from previous discussions on this list, I believe that Jaguar (and 
all other versions of MacOS X) always uses virtual memory (i.e., you 
cannot turn it off). You might be able to change how much memory in 9 is 
allocated, but you won't be able to turn off the virtual memory that 
Jaguar is using. 

HTH,

Jim R.

Re: help! with router

2002-11-13 Thread Jay Snyder

I setup a Linksys router for my neighbor with a cable modem, and the problem 
was the caching of the MAC address in the cable modem.   You need to power up 
the router before your cable modem -- if the modem can't contact the 
"computer" or in this case the router on powerup, it uses the MAC address 
from the last time it was powered up.This MAC address mis-match might be 
what is causing your problem.

Re: help! with router

2002-11-13 Thread Jay Snyder

You may need to set up the "Hostname" in the router to be a specific name.
I set one of these up for a friend with Comcast (used to be @HOME), and we
had a little trouble with it until we set that up.I think the Linksys 
tech support people where the ones that finally helpped with that.   Call 
them, they're very helpful.

Overheating Pismo DVD-ROM module

2002-11-13 Thread JW Travis

My recently acquired Pismo 400 can't play a music CD more than about 20-30
min. without serious dropout of the audio with concurrent noisy
"head-seeking behavior" (it sounds like its completely confused as to where
the tracks are). Eventually it stops spinning, then restarts repeatedly.
After removing the module and letting it cool, it works fine for another
20-30 min. 

Is this a known issue?

The fan came on yesterday for the first time (a scorcher here in Australia)
for a short while, so it works, but doubt it cools that side much.

thanks,

Jack in Victoria

This is good advice! I had the same problem, had me stumped for 
hours. The I read the FM and did this. Bing! All working.

But you must unplug from mains power, not justt switch off. Doing a 
hard reset won't hurt either (usually a little hole on the back - 
poke it with a paper clip).
