Re: Panther Filesharing
We have a small network at home and I use file sharing frequently. Since upgrading to Panther I've been confounded by how it is handled now. When I log onto another computer its icon isn't mounted to the desktop or to the sidebar. There's no visual hint at all that I am sharing and no way to log off. At least that's what I thought until this morning. I got a new wireless base station and was configuring it this morning (Apple's base station may be a more expensive but it certainly are less complicated to configure.) Anyway, as I was configuring with the PC and testing file sharing and printer sharing with my PowerBook I made two discoveries. If everyone else has figured this out, sorry. 1. When you browse the network you see icons of all the computers you can fileshare with. Those that you have already connected to have a slightly different icon than those that aren't connected. The difference is so subtle that I've missed noticing it for a week. Also, I noticed that when you open a window to browse the network the icons all tend to show as disconnected and then after a few seconds the connected computers' icon will change to reflect that it is connected. 2. if you control select (right select) a connected computer's icon one of the options in the contextual menu is eject. Eject also shows up in the File menu. This is complicated by the fact that after connecting to the computer, the window changes to display the computer you've connected to so you have to reselect the network window first. I hope this helps those who were as confused about Panther and filesharing as I was. I have been confronted with the same problem. The workaround that I use is to not mount the volumes with the browser: if they are mounted by entering their address (e.g. afp://thismachine) they do appear on the desktop and sidebar and can be ejected conveniently clicking on the little eject button next to them in the side bar. Adding the server thus mounted to the list of favorite servers (in the connect to server... dialog, click on the + button), you don't have to retype the address the next time. Although this workaround lets me use the server volumes the way they ought to be, I do believe the odd browser behavior to be a serious inconsistency (as well as a security concern). This has been noted elsewhere (Macintouch, I believe) and people have sent bug reports to Apple. I hope they fix it by 10.3.1. Luis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo/iPod
- Original Message - From: Clyde Kahrl [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: G-Books [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 7:57 PM Subject: Re: Pismo/iPod The reason your iPod doesn't recognize your wife's Pismo is that an iPod will only hook up to a single computer with regard to iTunes. It is designed that way--partly to prevent piracy by using the iPod to transfer music files to multiple computers. Of course, this is sort of a weird way to prevent piracy, and easily evaded, but in any case, your iPod can have only one base computer with iTunes. Check out the iTunes help for how to change that base computer. When you think about it, there is no reason to have more than one base computer--other than to transfer files--and you can do that on ethernet. -- Sorry, I beg to differ with you, I connect my iPod to 2 *different* computers all the time. I have a Pismo and a 867Mhz Quicksilver desktop machine. Depending on how you have your iPod configured; you will see 2 different scenarios. If you have it set for Auto-Sync and the last machine it was mounted on was the Pismo and I hook it to my QS; it will ask if I want to wipe whats on it and replace with the QS iTunes library. If I have it configured for *Manual* syncing it simply mounts the iPod without doing a sync and you can use a nifty little program called ipod.itunes and actually transfer and sync the files on the iPod with those in iTunes. I frequently do this because in the evening, I will sit in my living room with my Pismo and browse the iTunes store and buy and download music and put it on my iPod. Later, when I have some tiime, I will take the iPod and connect it to my QS and add the new music to my QS which serves as a back-up. This way, I keep BOTH computers with an up to date and synced iTunes library.

Pismo/iPod
Suspect that I had a similar experience with a 30 GB third generation (3G) iPod. My 3G iPod initially worked under 9.2.2 on my Pismo, but the connection became increasingly flaky. Could only negotiate updating of music after a reboot, even with a clean install of 9.2.2 with the latest OS9 iTunes (2.0.4) and iPod updater (1.3?). Intermittent mounting on desktop. No ability to change iPod prefs under iTunes. iPod updater under 9.2.2 would not restore/repair the pod when it started to be unreliable. Only solution was to reset it with the latest iPod updater under OSX. Was starting to think that the cable was damaged. Believe that the last iPod updater compatible with OS9 is not really compatible with the 3G iPods. iTunes may have some issues as well. Checked the Apple webpages and did discover that there seems to be a compatibility gap. Doubt that this is a one pod - one computer issue, as a window generally pops up warning about the different music libraries. Learned much about iPod diagnostics and various button salutes for reset/diskmode/diagnostics. Mine does not have the hidden record feature Finally decided that the time had come for OSX. iPod rock solid since then. Only wish that I could transfer my playlists to the latest iTunes for X from the old one. Any suggestions? BTW, Panther seems to be snappier on my Pismo G3/400 than 9.2.2. Do have 576MB RAM and the latest fast 60GB disk though... F. --- Joe Ellis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When you plug it into your wife's Pismo, can you start iTunes and have it recognized? No. It also won't even show up on the desktop (in either 9 or X). Also, the iPod doesn't go through it's usual little connection song and dance like it does with the other Pismo. Well, first suggestion, if she doesn't have a compelling reason for using OS 9, she should switch and go to OS X and stay there. Next re-install iTunes, the latest version and repair permissions. If you supect a firewire problem on her machine, do you have another FW device to test with? Perhaps another FW drive or camera. You could use your Pismo to check her FW connection by using yours in Target Disk mode. Do you know how? Joe -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Panther Filesharing
I have read the rest of this thread. I'm actually a bit more lost than Clark. I just transitioned from 9.2.2 to Panther (mainly to get my iPod working), and while have worked out most of the issues with my everyday working environment, I'm not seeing any networked volumes at all, either on the desktop or the sidebar. Basically trying to find a single desktop Mac running OS 9.2.2 that is hooked up via ethernet to a graphite airport base station. Panther is running my Pismo and the airport connection sees the internet just fine via the ABS modem. I set this rig up and it worked just fine with both computers under OS 9.2.2, and I figured that I would eventually dope it out. Nonetheless, the feedback from this thread makes me wonder if things aren't working quite right. Have attempted to mount via the browser with the desktop's IP address, no joy, not even a wait. Appletalk is enabled via Airport on the pismo. Guess I should check if it is working in the opposite direction. Mounting via afp://thismachine. is accomplished how? This is under a Panther clean install with one update. Kind of bummed as networking was supposed to be a no brainer with the new OS.
