Re: Download problems

[Kathryn Odell]

I went to Version Tracker, just to find something to download. Won't
download there either. You can see I haven't been downloading anything for a
while. I went to my extensions and selected System 9.2 all. No change. I
chose all extensions; my computer freezes on startup. Do you think I need to
do a clean install?

Can you download from other sites of just Intuit?

Download problems

[Kathryn Odell]

I've been working on my taxes all day (yuk!) and am finally just about done
with the fed form. I went to download the state program from Intuit, and
found I can't. Then I remembered that the last time I tried to download
something, I had problems then, too. I've got a Pismo running 9.2.2 with IE
5.1. When I look at the Preferences, it shows a bunch of cookies being
enabled. The browser does fine with everything else.

Hmm...I just tried my Mozilla browser; it won't download either. When I
click on a download button it just reverts to the previous screen.\

I'm mystified. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, I'm at three bright and counting - there was only one the first 
day.  One is bright blue and exactly square in the middle of the screen 
- makes DVDs virtually unwatchable.

Interesting . . .

[Dan K]

Here's an interesting tidbit I stumbled across on the ol' web-a-roni. . . 
about new huge-screen 'Book and fawlty sub pixls:

Replace?
 Bright - five or more
 Dark - seven or more
 Combination - nine or more

Got that? Interesting to know this, though sadly I haven't got one . . .

[Dan K]

I cannot recall if the magnetized screwdriver controversy was here or
over on the PBs list, but I figured y'all would appreciate this anyway. .

servicing a PB G4 17"

Tools
The following tools are recommended ...
€ ESD wrist strap and mat
€ Soft cloth
€ #00 Phillips screwdriver (magnetized)
€ #0 Phillips screwdriver (magnetized)
€ #1 Phillips screwdriver (magnetized)
€ 4 mm socket wrench
€ Needlenose pliers
€ Torx T6 screwdriver
€ Torx T8 screwdriver
€ Black stick (nylon probe tool 922-5065) (or other nonconductive nylon
or plastic flat-blade
tool)
€ X-Acto® knife with straight edge blade
€ Multi-compartment screw tray (such as a plastic ice cube tray)
€ Kapton® tape
€ Voltmeter (for troubleshooting)
€ Small low-power magnet (for troubleshooting)
€ Apple Pro keyboard and mouse (for troubleshooting)

Starting OS 10.2.4

[Daniel Pinto]

My Wallstreet 512K with PL 500 MHZ g4 has given me fits.  Several times 
in the past 6 months I have reinstalled sys 10.  I believe i just broke 
the code on what the problem is and would like some verification.  I 
have partitioned my disk into 8-gigs and whatever is left.  OSX on the 
first 8 gig partition and os 9.2.2 on the other.  I could not get my 
powerbook to restart in OSX until I copied OS 9.2.2 on the 8 gig 
partition.  after doing that the problem went away.

Comments please


Dan

Yeah, it does that sometimes. Running fcsk manually (as singleuser) 
or in disk utility on the older machines will save you a lot of 
heartache in the future. I would do it on my personal production box 
(for cwis.biz) if the computer weren't actually sealed away in a 
cabinet. I run it on lemlists.com via SSH about once a week because 
that data is far more critical to me (and Dan Knight) and it has a 
monitor and KB extension cord connected to it! :)

Yep, OS X actually runs a fsck at startup time. Unfortunately, it seems to
permanently take a long time for me, so I suppose I should run a disk
utility scan on it. This morning, when I woke my Pismo, everything was
quite funky and I ended up having to cycle it. On startup, the rotating
bars took forever, and then it actually restarted again on me -- and
started up quick and nice with almost no wait!

Wallstreet and USB

[KADaggett]

Has anyone had good luck getting USB to work on a Wallstreet running OS 
9.2.2? Have tried two different cards which were advertised to work as 
USB 1.1 using Apple "built in" drivers. Even tried the USB 1.4.1 
additions. No luck. The card shows up on the desk top, but no USB 
functionality for either camera, compact flash card/reader, or Epson 
printer.

That gives me some idea, but I am hoping that Apple states something 
along the lines of "1,000,000 customers pre-ordered a 17" Powerbook" or 
something like that in their quarterly report. My tiny knowledge of 
manufacturing technology tells me that 4 weeks of notebook production 
from a factory should mean more a metric ton of notebooks are being 
produced :)

The information that I have states that pre orders are going to take until
mid-to-late April to finish shipping.  Then the normal orders will ship and
stores will start stocking them.
