Lost Classic desktop folder
Hi, This is a silly thing. I have somehow deleted the macOs9 desktop folder in my MacOsX.1.5 finder. I think it's a checkbox somewhere in a system preference extension (are they called extensions? :-) to make it reappear and yet I have been through everything that looks it could be the owner of such a checkbox with nothing found. Anybody know how to get the Classic desktop folder back in MacOsX finder? thanks, Randy -- It would be easy for us, if we do not learn to understand the world and appreciate the rights, privileges and duties of all other countries and peoples, to represent in our power the same danger to the world that fascism did.

Re: Smartmedia cards in powerbook PC slots
Andrew wrote: Shortly after that I saw a posting (on this list perhaps?) mentioning that the MAC finder might confuse the simple minded smartmedia card. The problem with this is that the invisible files have nothing to do with whether they are Smartmedia or Compact flash (or for that matter Floppy Disks, Zip Drives, Keychain USB sticks or whatever) All (afaict) media for cameras are DOS formatted, and every one I've seen puts the picture files in a separate folder. That the *camera* is having a problem with those files is not indicative that the Mac 'corrupted' the card. It did not. If you put the card back in the Mac you could read the files just fine. The only time I've ever had a problem with this (my camera is an Epson) is when I accidentally loaded a picture from the camera card, tweaked it in Graphic Converter and accidentally saved it back to the card. Then the camera didn't recognize it and simply skipped over it when I scrolled through the pictures; it's possible that you did something like that. Since then I've always copied the files off the card to my computer in finder before messing with them.

OS X, Colorsync, HP Deskjet
Hi all- First, thanks for the advice on lubricating my Deskjet 935c - it's seemed to be a bit quieter on its own, so I've saved all your suggestions - leaning toward the silicone-based lubes when I do need it. Regarding the same printer, I'm totally stumped as to how to get it to work with Colorsync under OS X.2 on my Wallstreet PB. When I try to print a document, the Print dialog lists only Colorsmart III and Grayscale in the Paper type/Quality pane of the window. HP says that Colorsync is built into X, and that it's Apple's responsibility. How can I get Colorsync to show up as an option? HP Driver is version 2.0e.

Re: OK. I can't take it anymore [OT]
on 02/12/16 7:22 AM, Ian Haddock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This email list has to have the worst signal to noise level in the universe, [...] In the G Book universe, free speech is good, as long as it agrees with what I believe. As soon as I hear a different opinion, I pull out the heavy weapons and start blasting away. This whole deal with LEM and religion is like walking into a strip club and complaining about the nudity. What? You didn't see the signs out front?!? Sorry, but I just couldn't let an analogy that false slip by (especially when it only adds to the signal-to-noise ratio of which Mr. Haddock was complaining). When people go into a strip club, a focus on nudity is exactly what they expect, just as people entering a LEM list expect a focus on issues relating to lower end Macs. That's what the signs out front are there for. To have been relevant, Mr. Haddock's analogy should have been one in which, upon entering this hypothetical strip club, customers are surprised, even a bit disconcerted, by all the campaign literature for a particular political candidate whom the owner happens to support; posters on the walls, leaflets on the tables, etc. While it may well be the owner's free speech right to do this; while you can always say Hey, if the political stuff bothers you, just ignore it and concentrate on the strippers, or Hey, it's a private operation, and no-one's forcing you to come inside, or Hey, if you want to promote your own candidate you can always go start up your own strip club, the issue remains as to whether a strip club is the *appropriate* venue for exercising your political free speech -- NOT whether it's legal, NOT whether it's right or wrong, NOT whether you happen to agree or disagree with what's being said -- just whether it's the APPROPRIATE place to be saying it. I suppose there are those who might argue that the owner of a strip club (or a mailing list, or anything else) has a kind of moral duty to use that location to espouse any issue at any time over which he/she feels strongly, and that for the rest of us to even question its appropriateness is to somehow try and curtail the owner's free speech. Obviously, I'm in the camp that feels there's an appropriate time and place for everything, whether or not I happen to agree with the position being argued. The irony here is that I've just had to take up precious space on this list to make a point that's not all that Mac-related. But I do it in the sincere hope of trying to keep the list precisely that, and to clarify once and for all that *that* is what this whole deal with LEM and religion was all about. Thank you.

Please validate this group.....
For cryin out loud.. As my grandfather told me before he passed on If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all. Perhaps we could attempt to put that to action in this listserve I for one enjoy this group, add to the info occassionally, and learn from it occassionally. It's a help.. er.. It USED TO BE a help, at least until we began the collective pee-on-the-fan action.. Pardon my french, but that is about what's happenning here. So let's get back on topic... I have some questions, to give an example of what this listserve COULD be used for, other than collective drooling. perhaps they could be answered, giving us something to talk about besides stupidity. 1. Which wallstreet proocessor's are compatable with which Wallstreet logic boards? 1.A. Which Wallstreet processors are in the Wallstreet I category and which are considered Wallstreet 2 series? 2. Has anybody SUCESSFULLY brought a Pismo or Lombard battery back to life, after it's gone south? I did once, by throwing it my dumpster. Being the bad shot that I was, it hit the side, bouncing hard. I walked over to pick it up, and saw that the LED was on 1 bar.. So I took it in, charged it up, and it works fine.. Dunno if that's a recommended way to restore Pismo batt's, but I'm curious if anyone else has had any luckk in salvaging a bad battery from Pismo or Lombard (please note, these are not the same as Walllstreet batteries--I know how to restore the Wallstreet batt's) 3. Has annyone found out what the jumper set configuration is to upclock a Wallstreet logic board? There ARE jumpers there, but it's not for the timid... However, I've never had a chart of the settings.. Thought perhaps someone from Newer or other groups may have an old chart stored away on their hard drive, for a rainy day.. Today is rainy.. ; ) 4. has anyone figured out how to get their OS to startup without ever showing the smiley face at the beginning? I want my Mac to startup and go straight from blank to my own startup screen-I don't want to see that famous smiling Mac Any easy way to do this? This is definitely NOT a Powerbook issue, but hey, someone might know.. 5. is there a sleep command you can use on people who talk too much? Anything like Command+Shift+0 Was thinking that would be very nice, if we could write a sequence like that and implant it into certain people.. ; ) thx, David -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Pismo sleep problems
Hello, I have a pismo running osX. If I put the pismo to sleep or close the lid when the power adapter is not in, it will not wake from sleep. If the power adapter is in it works fine. although I have to press the space bar for it to wake instead of it just waking up when I raise the lid.

Re: Using SCSI serial devices with Pismo
On 12/16/02, Les Riess enlightened us by writing: I have some older equipment that I would like to use with my Pismo. The LaserWriter 360 is serial and the film scanner is SCSI. Can I use them with the Pismo and what would I need additionally to do so? If there is a choice, would a USB or Firewire adapter be better? Check Made4Mac on Apple's site - a search for SCSI adapter should do find some for you. I may want to get one of those (think some were around $99 for FireWire to SCSI).

So, what's happening when the power adapter is not in? Do you have to force a restart? If so, I would think your battery is toasted or the contacts to the battery aren't good anymore. How many LEDs lit when you press the charge button on the battery? Can you see if the battery takes a charge after running on it for a little while? When charging, the battery's LEDs should come up.

DVD with QT 6, without decoder card?
Howdy, Has anyone with a DVD add-on drive tried the playback with the Quicktime 6 MPEG 2 plug-in? I realize one needs the decoder card normally, but sometimes buying the drive and the card separately is cheaper. Maybe the PCMCIA card does something for the drive. I only say this because I loaded some MPG2 clips from archive.org and it PLAYED! Thanks for any feed back. Jim M. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: length of sig files
the ignorance amazes me. you sir, need to read a book about how networks work. No, I don't. Networks are not the same thing as the internet and I do know the difference. Notice that I quoted *exactly* what I needed to in order to reply to your message. However, you did exactly what posters should not do in quoting not only my entire message back again to the list, but you also included trash by way of the end part of the message which talks about the G Book list sponsorship. you make it sound like there is a bandwidth shortage or somethinglike we're going to be limited to the amount of data transfer available! It might surprise you to know that on websites there ARE bandwidth limitations. And if you go over them, you have to pay extra if you're the webmaster hosting the site. To ignore bandwidth issues even on a mailing list like this is to be truly rude and inconsiderate of others. If all of this comes as news to you, you truly must be an internet newbie. And to others on this list who have seen fit to grumble and growl about how this particular subject is horribly off topic, may I politely and kindly remind you that this IS an email list, afterall. And that while they're not the main subject of the list - things like long sig files that affect the list and everyone's email load aren't beyond the scope of this list. --bj http://www.bjbear71.com/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Smartmedia card might possibly maybe stop working with PC card adapter
Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 10:55:45 -0700 From: Bruce Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Smartmedia cards in powerbook PC slots Andrew wrote: Shortly after that I saw a posting (on this list perhaps?) mentioning that the MAC finder might confuse the simple minded smartmedia card. That the *camera* is having a problem with those files is not indicative that the Mac 'corrupted' the card. It did not. If you put the card back in the Mac you could read the files just fine. I'm sorry that's not the way it worked with me. The only 2 times I've had a smartmedia card from my olympus camera fail on me both followed the same sequence: 1: card in camera, I can take pictures and review pictures 2: put card in adapter plug adapter into powerbook (520 once, wallstreet once) 3: powerbook will not read card 4: card now will not read in my camera, my WIN98 laptop or my DOS palmtop or the powerbook. I think it's fair to say that the card is now corrupted 5: images are recovered using a disk utility (scandisk for the wallstreet card, 100% recovered and PhotoRescue for the 520 card, 85% recovered) So to review: 1: I have observed card failures the coincide (as in coincidence?) with trying to read the card in a powerbook with a PC card adapter 2: I have stumbled across a theory (possibly bogus) that suggests that some equipment may have problems with the invisible files that are part of the MAC file system 3: My new camera allows me to connect through my USB card so I can leave the card in the camera Based on the above I can see no advantage to the PC card adapter so there's no reason to take a chance (perhaps a very small chance) on losing my photos by using a PC card adapter. Possibly if I had a different camera this wouldn't be a problem. Possibly upgrading my Wallstreet to OS 9.1 may avoid the problem. I can only speak from my experience, hopefully I'm contributing more light than heat. The only time I've ever had a problem with this (my camera is an Epson) is when I accidentally loaded a picture from the camera card, tweaked it in Graphic Converter and accidentally saved it back to the card. Then the camera didn't recognize it and simply skipped over it when I scrolled through the pictures; it's possible that you did something like that. This was not the case with the corrupted cards, since I was not able to read the cards at all I couldn't edit the photos on them. I just tried cropping a photo in Graphic Converter and replacing the card in the camera. The picture still came up on the camera screen but it was perhaps half the size The problem people are having with your statements is because on the face of it, it cannot be universally true, because LOTS of people are using smartmedia cards this way, on their Macs, with no problems... I've never claimed it was universally true. I think people are getting wound up about the original subject line and not reading all the qualifiers in the body of the message. This time I made sure to put a less definite subject line on the message. I just had a look at a card that I had connected to an Imac through the USB cable. All the hidden files were there so keeping the card in the camera doesn't prevent the hidden files from being written. If the hidden files don't cause problems when written through the camera then maybe it's how the hidden files are handled by the PC card adapter?

Re: Please validate this group.....
Stranger and stranger I've never gotten the happy mac since installing Jaguar. Even when I had to reset the power management unit in my PBG4, in addition to resetting the pram. The only time I see a happy mac is when I'm booting into 9, and that's not very often at all. My Pismo shows the same behavior. Unless I'm booting into 9, I never see the ol' happy mac.
