iTunes sharing only one-way
I have a Belkin wlan-router with a pbook connected through Airport and a Powermac through ethernet. Both macs can 'see' each other and can share files (afp and smb). Sharing in iTunes is enabled on both, the powerbook shows up in iTunes op the powermac but not the other way around(which is what I want...).

Re: Moving from 9 to X

Should I worry about being an early adopter (aka mug or guineapig)? As apparently you have not yet used any version of OS X, I would wait a while after Panther is released before you install. Watch the Mac web sites and lists such as this to see if there are any hassles reported and fixes given. My reasoning is that OS X does take a bit of getting used to and those of us who are reasonably familiar with it will have a better idea of how to deal with those bugs than someone for whom OS X is brand new. I would suggest you may struggle a bit trying to come to terms with a new and different OS while at the same time resolving any bugs in it [if there are any]. To forestall the critics jumping on board here, I opine OS X is great and once you are familiar with its differences you won't go back. But it is different. And accepting the view that the first release of Panther may have a few bugs, waiting a few weeks after its release won't do any harm. You have waited long enough now to jump on the X bandwagon. In my case I waited till X 10.1 before upgrading. Yes, I know there is a mile of difference between the early versions of X and Panther but I shall be waiting at least a few months before upgrading from 10.2.6 to 10.3. HTH .

Pismo CPU upgrade question.
Hey folks. I've been thinking about the upgrade path I want to pursue once my Pismo's Applecare warranty runs out in December. One of the things I want to do is upgrade the CPU, using either the Newertech G4/500 or the PowerLogix G3/900 chip. I'm currently running OS 9.1, but I expect to jump to OSX soonish. So, the question. Is there any real consensus as to which option (G3/900 or G4/500) is more useful and/or powerful?

Re: Pismo CPU upgrade question.
Yeah, with a 400Mhz difference, I say the G3... even with Altivec I don't think the G4/500 can keep up with a G3 at nearly double clock speed. I have done tests, and a G4/400 can outperform a G3/500 with Altivec code that I have written... but the numbers aren't anything like a 900Mhz G3's numbers. Although on my Lombard... a G3/500 or a G4/500 isn't much choice, so I pick the G4 for Lombards.

Re: Weird problem in 9.2.2
Hey everyone: I am having a problem that I cannot seem to find a solution, it is a bother more than anything, but would like to resolve it. In 9.2.2, after start up finishes, any open windows on desktop disappear, then do not re-appear until I open an application then switch back to the finder. All disk utilities report no problems, and I have not found any extensions causing the problem. Once I switch back, everything works fine. I did upgrade to the 10.2.8 before Apple pulled the update, this seems to coincide with the problem's start. Anyone having similar problem? Running iBook 700 mhz, 512 ram, os 9.2.2/ 10.2.8, (start-up in 9 at work to run some accounting software for business), start-up programs that launch Stuff-it Deluxe Helper vs. 7.0.3, and still using GoMac Launcher (shut both of these off and the problem still exists, either individually, or together) Thanks, Wayne -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

OT: Google Spam
I recently visited friends in Germany and was introduced to a friend of theirs who is a computer consultant and self-styled expert. During the conversation, I remarked that Google is a pretty good search engine, to which the computer expert replied, Not so good. Too much spam.. Puzzled, I asked him what he meant by too much spam. He told me that if you use Google, it causes you to receive more spam. This is the first time that I have ever heard that, but I am far from being an expert. So, have I learned something new about Google or, is this guy an expert in name only? Also, on related note, I correspond regularly via e-mail with people in Germany Switzerland and frequently use umlauts (the two dots above some of the vowels). Lately, I have noticed that almost every piece of spam that I receive has umlauts over every vowel in the subject heading. How is this happening?

Re: OT: Google Spam
This guy is 'expert' in name only, and badly reciting something he heard. Google *IS* linked to spam in one way: Spammers use Google to crawl for e-mail addresses. So if you do a search for your e-mail address on Google and it shows up, then spammers have a means of getting your e-mail address to send spam. Apple has protected their lists to prevent Google from crawling it and making the e-mail addresses visible to spammers. So, use Google all you want, just make sure your web pages don't have your e-mail directly in the page as text (use links), and be aware of the archiving policies of mailing lists you are on (like this one). The extra character information showing up in spams is probably an unrelated bug.

Pismo Bluechip G3 900 Eats My Battery
I have my Bluechip G3 900MHz upgrade happily accelerating everything Mac on my Pismo and so far the performance boost is tremendous. My only complaint is battery time...before the upgrade while I was running at 400Mhz, my battery would last about 3.5 to 4 hours which is pretty good considering the age of the battery. With the upgrade in place, I am lucky now if I can get 1.5 t 2 hours, usually closer to 1.5 out of a full charge. I know I am running more than twice the CPU speed and expected a decrease in battery time, but there are folks with G3 900 iBooks who get better than 1.5 hours in their machines. I tried slowing the clock speed down, which you can do using a little application named CPU Director, but even slowing it down to 400MHz doesn't increase the battery life. Is it time to invest in a second battery to get 3 hours or is there some other way to improve the battery life? I've used Energy Saver to optimize for battery life, but this doesn't buy me too many minutes. Mark -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Sound Pass through in OS X
I thought I'd pass this along in case someone else encounters it. I was trying to use a Classic version of Timbuktu and it's Intercom function on my Wallstreet with OS 10.2.6. Well it didn't work but it did activate the audio pass through which immediately produced ear splitting feedback. Well I turned the volume down and went looking at the System Preferences. The Sound Preferences had no option to turn audio pass through off. I tried restarting but it was still on after that. I get the feeling that OS X doesn't deal with audio pass through and assumes it just won't come up. I finally tried using the OS 9 Sound control panel, while still in OS X. It worked, i turned off the audio pass through and no more feedback when I turn up the volume.

As apparently you have not yet used any version of OS X, I would wait a while after Panther is released before you install. Watch the Mac web sites and lists such as this to see if there are any hassles reported and fixes given. My reasoning is that OS X does take a bit of getting used to and those of us who are reasonably familiar with it will have a better idea of how to deal with those bugs than someone for whom OS X is brand new. I would suggest you may struggle a bit trying to come to terms with a new and different OS while at the same time resolving any bugs in it [if there are any]. To forestall the critics jumping on board here, I opine OS X is great and once you are familiar with its differences you won't go back. But it is different. And accepting the view that the first release of Panther may have a few bugs, waiting a few weeks after its release won't do any harm. You have waited long enough now to jump on the X bandwagon. In my case I waited till X 10.1 before upgrading. Yes, I know there is a mile of difference between the early versions of X and Panther but I shall be waiting at least a few months before upgrading from 10.2.6 to 10.3. Personally I've always found the idea of waiting for others to find the bugs a bad idea. I mean if we all did that we'd still be using OS 0.9. But then again I'm better able to deal with problems that show up. But I haven't used any OS version yet that caused much grief. And that includes most none machine specific versions since OS 2.0 or so, including 7.5.2. That said you might want to consider waiting to upgrade till Panther comes out to avoid buying OS X twice. Apple has in the past had free or low cost upgrades if you bought the previous version of the OS or a computer within so many months prior to the release of the new software. But who knows just when Panther will ship. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

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?

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 can't try what you say at this time because I bit on the bullet and reinstalled the software. But it has happened twice now, this problem with starting up, so I expect it again. I expect you are right about missing servers, because when I did fsck, some lines flashed past my eyes which I think referred to missing kernel servers. that leaves the questions, Why do they go missing? Twice. Is it some other software, one of my non-Mac applications, that is killing them? And it sometimes freezes saying waiting for application services. So that would be a different missing server?

is my powerbook dead?
Hey everyone, My powerbook started doing the weirdest things tonight. While using MS office to finish typing up a paper, my Tibook froze. Not just an application crash, not a kernel crash, just a complete lockup (first time in 3 years). When I rebooted my machine, it sounded like it powered up, but the screen just stayed dark and the hard drive didn't spin up. At first I thought maybe my RAM went bad, so I took out one module and left one in, and tried to reboot. Same result. Switched the RAM and tried again...same result. on a hunch, I booted up while holding option down, and suddenly i was given the choice of my os x partition and my os 9 partition to startup. I started up on the os x drive, and the machine booted normally and functioned fine. When I shut it down and tried to power up again, I was brought back to the dark screen. I rebooted while holding down option again, and again got the startup disk choice. I chose the os x startup volume again and the machine started to boot up again, and then when it got to the grey screen with the apple logo, it crashed and said system crash: cpu. The last thing I tried was resetting the power manager. Lo and behold, after doing that, my machine will boot up without having to hold down the option key and runs fine. However, when you turn the machine off, you have to reset the power manager again to get it going. Is it time for a new albook? I have the first series Tibook and have dealt with the whole range of problems (bad airport reception, heat, etc.). I updated to 10.2.8 and I know that it had some problems. Earlier this week I noticed my screen flickering, and then this problem started up. Is my powerbook on the way out or has anyone else run into this and has a suggestion?

Pismo Problems
Hi all, It's time for my first real question to the list... My Pismo 500 is acting up in strange ways - it won't wake from sleep without locking up hard and requiring a reboot. When I boot it, I only succesfully boot about one in five or six tries. The rest of the time it either locks up at the Welcome to Macintosh screen, presents a bomb and bus and/or system error before loading extensions, locks up without a bomb at the happy mac, or refuses to even present the happy Mac. A few times, it's dropped me into OpenFirmware!! The message in OF that I get is: DEFAULT CATCH!, code=400 at %SRR0: ff80d18c %SRR1: b030 I've also seen a strange bomb type crash (white dialog with the bomb icon) that is a CHK Error. I've never seen that one before... I've tried zapping the PRAM, resetting the 'book, switching boot disks, clean installing the OS, resetting all the OF vars with reset-all... I've reseated all the RAM cards, the hard drive, and the CPU module, but the problem remains. It even happens when booting from CD (which is why I don't think it's the OS and do think it's something hardware related). Right now, I've removed one of my 512MB SODIMMs, and I'll see if the problem occurs with only the other 512MB module... If it does, I'll take that one out and replace the first... And so forth. I doubt it's bad RAM, but hey, this one's got me stumped. Anybody got any ideas? I'm open to suggestions!

The Sound Preferences had no option to turn audio pass through off. I tried restarting but it was still on after that. I get the feeling that OS X doesn't deal with audio pass through and assumes it just won't come up. I finally tried using the OS 9 Sound control panel, while still in OS X. It worked, i turned off the audio pass through and no more feedback when I turn up the volume. Sound pass through is set in OS 10.2.6 (and earlier versions of OS X?) using the Audio MIDI Setup application in Applications:Utilities. Strange location for this option, I think, but there it is.

Re: Pismo Problems
Have you tried to put back the original memory? Well, no, not yet. I'm in the process of troubleshooting my new (month old) RAM first. And so far, one module passes all the RAM checks. I've booted with the second module right now, and I'll be checking it out... But originally it only had 128MB... And I don't know how original that was - this is a 2nd (er, 3rd really) hand Mac. I bought it used with another 256MB in it and installed 1GB from OWC. Here's another tidbit: Since I got it, every second boot or so has crashed mid-extensions with a system error supposedly caused by Apple Audio Extension. Curiously, this has happened in 9.2.2, 9.2.1, and off a 9.2.1 CD, so it's clearly nothing to do with the extension itself - some other trickery is at work.
