Moving from 9 to X
I'm currently running 9.2.2 on a Pismo and a CRT iMac. I'm thinking of jumping up to X Panther when it comes out. Should I worry about being an early adopter (aka mug or guineapig)?

Re: Moving from 9 to X
There is no need to wait. As we just saw last week ANY update can have a problem. OS X is very good as is. I have been running X on my wallstreet since the first week it was out--a true early adopter. It takes about a week to break your old habits. My only question is why now?

Waiting for authentication services
When I try to start up, (TiBook G4, Mac OS X 10.2.6), my laptop seizes up during startup at waiting for authentication services or else it freezes waiting for activation services. the first time I saw this I thought the permissions needed repair. But I can't repair permissions because I have to boot up first on that disk. And I can't complete startup. Catch 22. Running fsck, DiskUtility, DiskWarrior make no difference. All this happened two weeks ago. So in the end I reinstalled the software from the CD. Today it's happening again - waiting for authentication services when I try to start up. Does any one know what is going on, and what to do about it? Since I reinstalled Mac OS X 10.2 last time this happened, I suppose the problem must be some non-Apple application I installed. The extra apps I have run recently are Cocktail and Windowshade. Can one of them cause this sort of problem? Mike -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo Bluechip G3 900 Eats My Battery
Shane Wolfe [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I generally see 3.5 hours on my battery running everything at full. Volume, LCD brightness, etc. I do see less if I'm burning a CD or watching a DVD. I have the 900Mhz snow iBook. I would say 1.5 hours is pretty good for upgrading that much. Without looking up the specs, I'm sure your upgraded processor pulls more wattage than the old one. Your battery was designed with the old processor in mind. Even running it at slower cycles, your probably still going to pull out more wattage than before. Actually, I'm pretty sure that the PPC750FX chip that PowerLogix uses for their Bluechip upgrades draws *less* power than the original PPC750--all else being equal. For the original poster: Is it possible that some power saving options got changed or reset during the upgrade? Resetting them and/or zapping the PRAM might help. Also, is this your original battery? If so, it's probably nearing the end of its usable life. Powerbook batteries usually degrade over time, but I've heard of a few cases where they seemed to go south rather abruptly--so it could just be a coincidence. If you know someone with a known good battery, it might be worth trying it out. Finally, have you contacted PowerLogix? -Jeff[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You can't brew a premium lager with a kool-aid mentality. --Harold Green in _The_Red_Green_Show_ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

OT: 9.2.2 freeze
This is slightly OT but I've seen it on my Powerbook so I'll ask: I've just brought home a G4 Powermac (AGP Graphite 500 MHz) from my office. It was running 9.2.2 flawlessly at work (but I didn't do any printing). I installed OS X over the top of the 9.2 and it runs fine in OS X. If I try to boot into 9.2.2, the mouse and keyboard don't function. In fact if I unplug the mouse (either an Apple optical mouse or Microsoft optical mouse, and plug them back in, there is no light emitted at all. The only way to get mouse and KB to function is to start with extensions off! I wish to run in OS 9 to use an old Epson printer which I've connected to a Keyspan PCI serial card. I've just erased the boot partition and done a clean install of 9.2.2 and it is still bad. It worked 2 weeks ago but since then I've swapped the original DVD-RAM optical drive for a Superdrive and swapped the original ATI video card for a Radeon 9000. Could these be connected with this frustrating problem? As I said, I saw a similar issue on my TiBook 800 when switching to Classic to use an HP scanner that didn't have an OS X driver. Any ideas folks? TIA Roger Shufflebottom -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Go into Utilities and run Directory Access. Turn off all the services you don't use for authentication. In most cases, you can turn off all but AppleTalk (if you connect to AppleTalk devices) BSD and Rendezvous, perhaps SMB if you're connecting to a windows system. In authentication make sure only /netinfo/root shows and it's set to automatic.

I don't have any network details yet, as it hasn't even been purchased yet. But since the cable modem is run through a router on my husband's Gateway. If the wireless LAN you end up getting is 802.11b or 802.11g, then just go ahead and plug an airport card in (airport standard, not the newer 'extreme' version). That will equip your iBook to run on any 802.11b/g wireless network. In the more and more unlikely event it is an 802.11a system, you have a little less luck. There may be a USB solution, but I don't know of one. Your iBook (like all others) has no PC card slot, so there is no way of adding any kind of card to it other than apple's own Airport card. FWIW, I run an iBook that uses an airport card to connect to a Netgear access point, then through a generic switch of some sort to a windows box, where it is routed out to the net using the built in internet connection sharing of Win XP. No 2 brands are alike, but it all works well. If you have any influence on which wireless network you get, try to aim for either the 802.11b or 802.11g systems. 'b' runs at 11Mbps, 'g' runs at 55Mbps. 'g' is backwards compatible with the 'b' that your iBook uses (with help from the airport card) Hope this helps, Wiebe. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
