Re: Battery and screen care
On Wednesday, October 8, 2003, at 06:09 PM, Donna Dolezal Zelzer wrote: I just bought a new iBook 3 weeks ago -- my first experience with both a laptop and OSX and I love both! As someone who has been using Apple laptops since 1995 I can easily state that I still share your enthusiasm. Congrats! Anyway, I was wondering about some general maintenance stuff: 1. What do you clean the screen with? The best stuff, by far, is put out by Klear Screen. (www.klearscreen.com) Their products do not use alcohol - which is terribly important - and are sold by Apple in the Apple stores. It's what we use here for our PowerBook users and I wholeheartedly recommend it. You need to be extremely careful about what you use to clear and dry your LCD display. Repeated use of alcohol-based products will, over time, prematurely age your screen and cause discoloration and cracking. Make sure to get a lint-free non-scratching polishing cloth. A chamois is great but I use the Laptop ScreensaverZ from Radtech (www.radtech.us). This nice piece of cloth serves a double duty: I can clean my screen safely with it and it covers my keyboard when my PowerBook is closed, preventing keymarks on the screen. The keyboard can actually come in contact with the screen when it's closed and the oil and dirt from my grubby fingers would necessitate my cleaning the screen more often. 2. I'm normally working someplace where I can use the power adapter. Is this OK, or does the battery need to be used occasionally and then recharged? If yes, how often and how low should the charge go before I recharge? Someone else may correct me, but AFAIK, there is no memory associated with the batteries Apple uses in the iBook and PowerBook. You can either leave the computer plugged in or not; I've run my battery down multiple times and have not yet noticed any dropoff in available charge. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Phil Burk ___ Systems Support Technician Wiley Publishing, Inc.

Adding a Firewire port
Hi all, I'm recording with my Powerbook and a MOTU 828 audio interface. I am also using a firewire hard drive to write tracks to. My question has to do with adding a firewire port. I only have one on my Powerbook, and was previously using the built-in hub port on the firewire hard drive case. That port failed last night, and no longer is recognized by my Powerbook. Should I buy a Firewire hub? Or, should I buy a PC Card with a Firewire port? I'm interested in bandwidth problems that may happen by having an 828 and a hard drive on the same firewire bus. Is it better to use a PC Card or a hub? Mark -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo Help needed Please...
Un-plug it remove the battery, plug it back in and give it a shot, see if it will boot without the battery installed! Wiggle the plug end that inserts in the book and make sure your getting good contact. If it boots up and runss shut it down and then put the battery back in and try it again.

Indianapolis, IN 317-572-3049 --- Phil, the only amplification I might make on your advice is that the Li-on batteries have a life limit as to charge cycles, so short charging them when they do not need much charging might constitute a bad thing. Certainly they are far removed from the memory-hampered Ni-Cad batteries of old (and new Motorola GMRS radios). But our compulsive desire to always have our batteries fully charged probably contributes to shortening the lives of these high tech energy cells. I thought about this after discussing the rather short life I was getting from my cell phone batteries with a local vendor of same. Same issue, and think of how many of us simply plug in our cell phones to either our car or home charger every chance we get. Mine have only been lasting about a year, though the advent of digital service in our area has helped a lot (uses less power). Comment, anyone?

When do you shut down your laptop?

As far as I can find, the only advice before moving the powerbook is to wait until the light on the latch is blinking slowly (indicating that the hard drive is spun down).

Wallstreet + PCMCIA/Cardbus: Software or Hardware failure
Hi * two days ago my Wallstreet II/PDQ (233MHz, 256MB/30GB) suddenly did not recognise my USB-PCCard any more. When I now insert the Card, then the Finder thinks for a moment and then nothing happens. Therefore I even fail to eject it (except using a paper clip when switched off). In addition my Firewire card seems to be recognised, but does not function. On top of this bt cards are recognised by my wife's PC notebook (although I cannot test their functionality since I do not have any driver software for PC). Any idea? A repair handbook I found somewhere suggest to replace PC cardholder or I/O logic board, but this is suggested for any failure when nothing else solves the problem. Is it really this severe?

One oddity in particular, I can never shut down either mac without separately quitting Acrobat--it will hang the shutdown process EVERY time if I try to shut down with it running. Anyone else have similar problems? I have reinstalled it so many times I have lost track (v4.05). Nope. Whenever Reader doesn't behave on OS X, it is just ejected.

Re: PDF file
Subject: PDF file May be a bit off site topic, but how do I go about changing a PDF file to another format once it's downloaded? Thanks to everyone for the input. The PDF file did open with Acrobat -- after refusing to do so earlier; thus the reason for my writing and asking. I have no idea why it wouldn't open earlier. The file when chosen as an icon is revealed as a Preview file; the document thus cannot be fiddled with in any way. When the name of the file is highlighted (on my desktop this color is yellow) the file remains in Finder and I can then choose to open it from the File menu using Acrobat. But not a great deal is gained page printing-wise (as someone commented), at least not with the 15 page document I was trying to compress. The PDF file is the same number of pages, but the text font is a number of times smaller. Thanks again to everyone, Tivo -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Clamshell iBook and 10.2.8?
Hello all, This Blueberry iBook was running 10.2.8, the original release, sinc the original installation. It went to sleep tonight about an hour ago. Now it will not boot from the HD, the Jaguar Disk or OS9.1 Disk. The screen lights up at boot, the HD spins, the CD constantly spins up then down over and over. If I press the start button and let go after letting the computer sit running for a moment, I hear the familiar tone that you would get under normal boot, the one you get when the dialog box appears asking if you really want to shut down. If I hit enter/return, as if to say OK, it shuts down. Any clues on how to get around this? I have attempted booting with the option key down, Thanks Kyle -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Clamshell iBook and 10.2.8? : UPDATE
Believe it or not. I booted the iBook and let it finish the boot sequence. I could tell it was finished because the CD in the tray spun up and I heard it mount. I then adjusted the brightness of the monitor using the keys on the keyboard. The screen would go totally black and extremely white, still no picture. So, I merely tapped the back of the display and the picture returned. Any clues? I have taken many iBooks apart completely but never the LCD. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: MAC BATT new bad Al-Book bat
how often and how low should the charge go before I recharge? Someone else may correct me, but AFAIK, there is no memory associated with the batteries Apple uses in the iBook and PowerBook. You can either leave the computer plugged in or not; I've run my battery down multiple times and have not yet noticed any dropoff in available charge. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Phil, the only amplification I might make on your advice is that the Li-on batteries have a life limit as to charge cycles, so short charging them when they do not need much charging might constitute a bad thing. Certainly they are far removed from the memory-hampered Ni-Cad batteries of old (and new Motorola GMRS radios). But our compulsive desire to always have our batteries fully charged probably contributes to shortening the lives of these high tech energy cells. I thought about this after discussing the rather short life I was getting from my cell phone batteries with a local vendor of same. Same issue, and think of how many of us simply plug in our cell phones to either our car or home charger every chance we get. Mine have only been lasting about a year, though the advent of digital service in our area has helped a lot (uses less power). Comment, anyone? Jim ,, yes JIM Ill comment . and Im on your wavelength as regular discharge is key to getting the most out of any of todays rechargeable batteries I use and they hold a higher charge longer with regular hard use. Im in the habit of always trying to use a full charge cycle whenever possible. In fact if I use my AlBook away from its electrical tether, in the evening, Ill not re-plug it in but set it on the desktop and plug it in in the AM. But its not to say how much more life Ill get from my new 15 AlBooks bats. Speaking of which= They are sending me out a new battery for mine and I hope itll get a better life than this one.. since new it didnt charge to more than 2 hrs 15 mins... but in actuality it would last no more than 1.5 hours of browsing via airport. They want this one sent to engineering for testing. I noticed that Gisela had this problem with hers too in addition to the latch.. My latch works fine but that squeaky right palm-rest is a bit of an irritant.. and an intermittently loud blower under the E key Gary Aluminum G4PB1.25GHZ/512M/80HD/SD G4DP450/896/2-20gHDs/17StudioSoonForSale -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Clamshell iBook and 10.2.8? : UPDATE
So, I merely tapped the back of the display and the picture returned. Any clues? That sounds like a loose LCD cable. You could try taking it apart and securing the connection, but these cables are extremely fragile. If it's not the connector that's loose, you probably have a slight (microscopic, even) crack or break in your cable that will positively get worse if you try to fix it Peace, Drew -- Author of ClassicStumbler email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.alksoft.com/ Visit the PowerBook 5300 FAQ! http://www.alksoft.com/5300_FAQ/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: adding a firewire port
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 14:14:58 -0700 Subject: Adding a Firewire port From: Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I'm recording with my Powerbook and a MOTU 828 audio interface. I am also using a firewire hard drive to write tracks to. My question has to do with adding a firewire port. I only have one on my Powerbook, and was previously using the built-in hub port on the firewire hard drive case. That port failed last night, and no longer is recognized by my Powerbook. Should I buy a Firewire hub? Or, should I buy a PC Card with a Firewire port? I'm interested in bandwidth problems that may happen by having an 828 and a hard drive on the same firewire bus. Is it better to use a PC Card or a hub? Mark Hi Mark, the the only thing I can tell you is this: I have a Pismo with both OS 9.2 and OS X an 828 MkI and a VST PCMIA firewire card. OS 9 cannot see the MOTU on the cardbus port, only on the built in firewire ports while OS X accepts it on both, and it works like a charm. My drives and CDRW are recognized everywhere by both OS's.
