Re: Wallstreet s-video port
My daughter did a nice little PowerPoint presentation on her iBook for my other daughter who is coming home from college. I thought it would be neat to show it on tv. I don't know how to get it out of the iBook, other than the video out port with the dongle for vga, so a transfered it to my Wallstreet, with the thought of using the s-video out port to my tv's s video in port. Doesn't work. Is there something I'm missing, or is this another case of a port that doesn't work on a wallstreet with OSX. The s-video port on the Wallstreet is a video-OUT port. I am not sure I understand what exactly does not work. 1) If your iBook is one of the white ones (not the roundish colored older models), it should have a tv-out port. To use it you may need to purchase an apple AV cable (not included with these machines). These cables carry video and audio out to tv. If you don't need audio and have a similar cable from, say, a camcorder, then you may be able to use that, but you'll have to *not* push the plug all the way into the iBook, and fiddle a bit to align the video connector (the Apple AV cable has a different layout of the video and two audio connectors, so the same port can also be used just as a stereo audio out). 2) If you must use the Wallstreet: Try to connect the video out and have the tv turned on and with the right input selected *before* you start the wallstreet (That was necessary with OS 9, I'm not sure about X). If your screen does not show up on the tv, look at the Displays part of System Preferences. Make sure to select All instead of just Recommended in the Resolutions pane. Scroll down and see if there is any option that refers to the S-video out or tv or something like that. If it works, then you should have your desktop showing on tv. If the screen goes black, just wait about 15 secs and it will revert to the built-in display. hth Luis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Making choices
I called Mac Zone last night and told them that they lost a $2500+ sale due to this issue. I spoke with the night shift supervisor who said he was unaware of the situation and promisd to pass the info on to the day shift corporate honchos...I also told them that I would do my best to dissuade any and all purchases now and in the future by the members of the Penn State Mac Users group. Will contact Mac Mall later today... I don' t have DSL available here but I can and will change my local/long distance and wireless plans (2 expire on 12/24) from Verizon to ATT.

Lubricating an HP inkjet printer
Hi all- Sorry if this is a little OT, but my HP Deskjet 935C _is_ hooked to my Wallstreet ;-) Well, today, it's started to make some nasty-sounding vibrating noises each time the ink carriage moves from side to side. Is there any way for me to lubricate the rod holding the ink cartridges? What should I use? HP's website is brain-dead today, and I've got a zillion holiday cards to print!

Re: Wallstreet s-video port
Thanks for all you help. I figured it out. The problem was with a Recoton switch box I was using. When I hooked up the Wallstreet directly to the tv, the Wallstreet had not problem finding it. And thanks for the hints regarding the iBook. I didn't realized that the little round plug was video too. I thought it was an audio out jack. I have a Canon ZR40 Camcorder and the plug worked just fine (and the signal went through the switch box too). As Luis mentioned, you can't plug it all the way in though. You have to back it out a little to work. I discovered that by accident as in frustration when it didn't work I started to pull the plug out and all of a sudden my desktop appeared on the tv screen.

Cannon Camera Problem
I have a PB Wallstreet and am using a USB PCMCIA CARD. It works fine for all my USB applications and did so for my Kodak digital camera for at least six months until while burning a large file, I had a freeze which destroyed all my drivers etc. etc.. After about six hours of reloading everything I got everything to work again except my USB camera connection. I talked to Kodak about it and they said that their cameras are only compatible with built in USB cards and will not work with PC cards. They couldn't explain why it worked initially and then failed after the freeze up. They also couldn't explain why their advertising failed to mention that they had this problem with PC cards. I have a desktop with built in USB so its not a great problem, but I miss the advantage of downloading pictures while traveling, and using the PB's memory rather than the memory card in the camera. It also helped with previewing and deleting unwanted pictures. Hope this helps. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: the good news is that carrying a Pismo can avoid breaking your hip..
A couple things I'd try. Open it up and remove the processor module and ram and reseat them in case they moved a bit. If that doesn't help, try booting from CD and see if it runs OK from the CD. The impact may have damaged he hard drive. If you're having problems reinstalling the OS, that's a likely culprit. If you have an external firewire drive you can boot from, definitely try that as well.

Avoid the problem by purchasing a card reader, either one for your PCMCIA slot or even better a Lexar Firewire reader, which is what I use with mine.

Re: Making choices
On 12/13/02 5:57 AM, Kochkodin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the Cybertrough: I called Mac Zone last night and told them that they lost a $2500+ sale due to this issue. I spoke with the night shift supervisor who said he was unaware of the situation and promisd to pass the info on to the day shift corporate honchos...I also told them that I would do my best to dissuade any and all purchases now and in the future by the members of the Penn State Mac Users group. I disagree profoundly with Charles' religious leanings but it's just like tv...BYPASS it if you don't like it.. I agree with you, but I have something to say. Everyone is saying that it is free speech basically. It is Dan's right to post what he wants to on his site. Essentially that is true...but not without consequences. Mine may be an unpopular opinion, but I must say that it is also Mr. Bauer's right to complain about it if he sees fit. He is allowed to complain about a religious article posted to Mac-Content site (or at least bring it to the attention of advertisers so that they are aware of it). He probably didn't join Lem to talk about religion. He probably joined to talk about Macs. Why is everyone slamming him for complaining? It's his free speech right just as it is Dan's to post such an article. (disclaimer: I don't know Mr. Bauer, and he may be a total jerk in real life. I have only heard of him through this discussion). Dan knows that I am not a religious person and we get along fine, but he also know that I support LEM 100%. This article bothered me as well. Not to the point where I would contact advertisers, but it did bother me, and I am a Nanny on many LEM lists. It made me wonder if I should spend anymore time here with LEM. It made me wonder if I want my name attached to a Mac site that promotes religious rants by it's writers. I think it is important for you all to consider (whether you like it or not) that about 20% of this population at LEM (as in US Society) is not only *not* Christian, but not religious at all. We have rights as well. Sometimes people who are devoutly religious stomp all over other people's toes without even thinking that they are doing anything wrong or offending. I suggest that everyone think about it. I think about how my opinions and statements will affect a religious person before I make them, and you should do the same. I have said my peace. I will allow anyone else to say theirs, but I declare this thread dead at 7p.m. PST today Friday 12/13. Please drop it by then. Thanks. -- G-Books Nanny == Kyle H.

Re: Lubricating an HP inkjet printer
Just a note: WD-40 is not really a lubricant. if you look on the can you can see what it is made of. there are much better things on the market. i have a can of a product called dura-lube that is way better. if you check your local auto parts supplier i'm sure you can get a much better product than wd-40. sean On Friday, December 13, 2002, at 08:38 AM, Joe Arcuri wrote: On 12/13/02 10:01 AM Marty Lindower [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all- Sorry if this is a little OT, but my HP Deskjet 935C _is_ hooked to my Wallstreet ;-) Well, today, it's started to make some nasty-sounding vibrating noises each time the ink carriage moves from side to side.

There is a felt piece that´s soaked with oil inside the holder and sometimes this gets dry and causes these problems. The person used WD40 to lubricate it.

For anyone interested, DuraLube's squirt can of oil melted the rubber around my power antenna on my car and made it impossible to run up or down.
