Re: Apple Care Question
That is true for some companies but this is why you want to call Applecare and maybe also check their website for international coverage information. It looks like they do have a number for Applecare in Korea so I am assuming they would cover it there. Do not assume anything You better be sure and call Apple Care and have them send you a letter saying you will have coverage even in Korea or if you travel to Korea. If you do not, you may have provided them a wiggle hole out of the repairs. Apple Care has become IMHO and by my experience very bad at customer relations. ie., the logic boards in the iBooks built between 2002 to 2003. These people complained, wrote Apple about the problems and suffered for years with crummy built computers or had to pay for repairs to get it done right. Now Apple has come around and is replacing the logic boards of these iBooks, under threat of law suit. Not the warm Apple I used to know. My experience a Pismo with 4 months left on Apple Care. When I called to set up a shipping date, the first thing the Apple Care guy said was, we do not cover spilled liquids in power books. Yes of course, but no liquid was spilled in this Pismo, he said I just have to make that clear.. Sent it in and they said, guess what: Apple says a liquid sometime in the last 6 months was spilled into the power book, it's not covered, we will fix it but will cost you $1,000.00 to have us fix it. I went right to the top of Apple Care. Gwendlyne Wells head of Apple World wide Customer Care. She was rude and rather crude. She should care less and actually lied about things they had done to another computer I sent in at a week before not covered and I had paid for those repairs.. Except the lies fell through because the techs left little bar codes on the parts they claim they never touched.. So on a lap top get it, even a iMac I probably would as the quality of the products are getting cheaper to keep prices down. Just make sure you get in writing what they say on the phone. The usually send out a welcome to Apple Care letter with your machines ID and your Apple Care Number. Good luck Geoff -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: AppleCare Question
Yes, AppleCare is good value! I used it twice for my iMac DV 400MHz and my husband has used it once so far for his 800MHz iBook, so we have saved a lot of money. :) Susan Platter Swindon England On 29 Feb, 2004, at 14:41, G-Books wrote: Date: Sun, 29 Feb 2004 07:47:19 -0800 From: Kara1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: AppleCare Question In-reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have had Applecare on both my previous macs and will be buying it for my Powerbook in March.

Wallstreet and Brother HL-1240 Printer
Hello Listers, I apologize in advance for the length of this listing. Could someone help me with a problem I am encountering. I have a Wallstreet 233 MHz (II) that I am trying to link to a Brother HL-1240 Lazer printer with a Belkin 2 port USB 2 card bus card. I downloaded the Apple 1.4.1 card support application and loaded plus the printer driver that came with the printer. No Mac software driver came with the Belkin card as the Apple card support application should take care of this. Other listers have had success with this make of card so compatibility should be OK. The card is seen by APS but with the printer switched on no printer is seen. Chooser shows the printer icon on the left but when clicked on nothing is seen on the right. I have looked on the Brother Web site for any additional info but could only find an up dated driver so I downloaded this. I tried to load the new driver and also tried to reinstall the driver for card bus support. Unfortunately when I try to install any software a dialog box appears, informing me that no software can be installed whilst br-background is running and to quit this application and retry. As this must refer to the Brother printer I have searched for some time to find what is running this as br_background is an extension. I had no success so I decided to trash every thing that referred to the Brother printer, this went OK until I tried to trash br_backdround. Another box appeared informing me that as other applications were using it it could not be thrown away. So until I resolve this I am unable to make progress in resolving the USB-printer problem or installing any other software at all. So any help is appreciated.

Re: Memory for Wallstreet
Be careful about the memory in the Wallstreet. I was only able to get 256 total (2 - 128 chips, Kingston) ram work in my Wallstreet 233, which also had a Powerlogix 466 upgrade card installed. There have been many listers that reported successfully using the larger 512 chips and some reporting 2 - 512 working. Since Apple only certified the Wallstreet for 192 mb ram, you are really on your own. Most reputable vendors will take the memory back either in exchange or credit. As far as I know, no one ever offered an answer why some people could and some couldn't make the higher ram work.

Re: AppleCare Question
I am not saying that anybody should or should not buy AppleCare. And the testimonials here about saving hundreds and even close to a thousand dollars on repairs are very impressive. But there is another way to look at this. AppleCare must be a money making business for Apple. Would anybody believe that Apple loses money on their AppleCare coverage at the prices they charge? I doubt that. I think Apple makes money on AppleCare. There must be many more people who buy AppleCare and do not use it for repairs than those who do. So I believe it boils down to whether you want to self-insure your Mac or not. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

So I have reinstall Apple 1.4.1 USB card driver and the new Brother printer driver version 1.7.2. I downloaded from the Brother site. Unfortunately I still have the same problem APS sees the card bus card but not the location of the printer. Chooser has the printer icon in the left box but when clicked on, no connecting port appears in the left box. Could this be and issue where the printer will only work with a computer with a built in USB port. Do you have a USB keyboard or mouse you can plug in to check the operation of the USB. This is the process I use. A keyboard or mouse is best as support for these are built in. My gut feel is that you still have a USB card problem, APS should show the printer otherwise. I've had the best luck installing the USB card drivers from the OS 9 disk. If you run it after an install it will give you the option of adding or deleting parts. -- 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...

Users, Partitions, and Panther Question
Hi guys. I just installed Panther in the first 6GB of hard drive space and the rest is empty waiting to be used for something. I really would like to move the User folder into the second partition kind of like when I was messing with Linux a few years ago. My problem is that I have no idea how to set up MacOS X to use the entire partition to put user folders into it and when I make new accounts it would create the user space in the second partition. I've been doing it the dirty way and using Net info for the two users I've made so far. So now, in netinfo, the I changed home from '/Users/username' to /Volumes/volumename/username'. Ideally, I'd like to see volumename mounted at root like a DVD or a floppy would. So, the file path would like like this... '/volumename'. Any helpful advise? Thanks. --markemmanuel ___t_h_e_w_o_l_f_p_u_p_._c_o_m_. Markemmanuel F. Rodriguez http://www.thewolfpup.com/ . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It looks like they do have a number for Applecare in Korea so I am assuming they would cover it there. Do not assume anything You better be sure and call Apple Care and have them send you a letter saying you will have coverage even in Korea or if you travel to Korea. If you do not, you may have provided them a wiggle hole out of the repairs. I have stated twice (in two different messages) that he *SHOULD* call Applecare ! I did not suggest that he assume anything. Your idea of the letter is good though. AKR Oooh ahhh yo man I lost 5 toes on that one Sorry I did not mean to insinuate that any information you gave was incorrect, that's why I left off the name of the poster, I just wanted to add the letter to what you had said. Will do a better job next time. can toes regrow To the next thought To add to this some one said Apple Care must be making money, Sure they are, they wanted to charge me $1,000.00 to replace an inverter board on my Pismo that was under Apple Care, they claimed a liquid of some sort was spilled in your Power Book in the last 6 months; as spilled liquids are not covered we will fix your Power Book for $1000.00. Liars Took out the inverter board installed the used one I bought for $9.95 and the gracious help of the people on this board and now it runs fine. That's how Apple Care makes money, ask Gwendlyn Wells Head of Apple Care World Wide Support her door is next to Steves So no worry Apple Care makes money Geoff -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

getting rid of menubar bluetooth icon
OK, I have another odd question. I Carbon Copy Clone'd my data from my 12 AlBook onto my iBook G3/900. The iBook was unhappy booting from the system folder from the AlBook, so I did an archive and install and reinstalled Panther. Everything is working fine now, but I have a Bluetooth logo with a line through it in the menubar, leftover from the AlBook, which has Bluetooth. When I click on it it says Bluetooth not available. I know this. Anyone know what I need to delete or change to get rid of this icon in the menubar? Any info is appreciated. -Hal -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
