Re: Some odd behavior
You should create an appropriate Location. Open Network Preferences, create a new location, say Wireless, and in this location leave only Airport as an active network port. This way your mac will not try to use the internal modem; and keeping a separate location which does use the modem will let you easily fall back to that when needed (if, say, you need to connect when you're somewhere else). Luis Today I installed an Airport Base Station M5757 (Graphite) and, in my Dual-USB iBook, an Airport Card 8.2001 and also added a Linksys BEFSR41 Router, v.3. This has been followed by some very unusual behavior when I am connected to the internet via the iBook through the above setup. 1. Very annoyingly, every time I turn airport on and then try to download mail the modem fires up and tries to dial out. Also, when I do a Restart, Just before the desktop is fully loaded, specifically as the desktop menubar items begin to fill in, I get an alert message from Internet Connect saying something like the modem is unable to establish a connection, indicating that it is trying to dial out as soon as the desktop loads! This despite having gone to Network preferences Modem and checked Wait for dial tone before dialing. This is really a pain and something I haven't experienced since moving to OS X.

Re: Users, Partitions, and Panther Question
Mark, A quick question: do you want one partition devoted solely to Users? I mean, are you seeking to get a Users volume mounted on the desktop like Macintosh HD or whatever your boot volume is named? I'm assuming that you do. You need to use /etc/fstab which became support in Jag. Should still work. Let me know if you need the dirty details. And yes, you'll still need to use NetInfo to do it properly.

Can this Wallstreet be saved?
My Wallstreet (266 MHz upgraded to 466 with the PowerLogix BlueChip card) constantly freezes. Usually it just freezes - no response to any key or mouse, so I have to force-restart. Every once in a while it puts up an error restart box, or at least starts to draw one. These aren't consistent, but at least sometimes refer to a bus error. On at least one startup attempt it read address error. It can happen any time, though it tends not to happen when I'm not doing anything with the computer (when it's just sitting there checking email every so often). It's done this occasionally on off for several years. When it started to get bad a couple years ago I pulled one of the RAM chips, thinking it might be bad - at the time I had a 256 a 128 - and it got better for the next year or so. Then it started again. Recently it added freezing while booting (it hadn't done that before), now I often have to start it up 2 or 3 or even 4 times to get it to complete booting. There's no one place that it freezes at - it could be anywhere in the process. So I finally tried to figure out what it was - so far have only figured out what it ISN'T - the RAM the processor. I've swapped my RAM chips around (new originals left each slot empty in turn) figured out it's none of them. I've put the original processor back in still had the problem. Is there anything that it's really likely to be that wouldn't be too expensive to try? I don't need this to work any more - my husband got tired of my bad language when it froze up on me as I worked, so I got a new 17 powerbook (original model, deeply-discounted floor model from CompUSA). I could dump the wallstreet, or see if anyone wants it for parts on eBay. But it's still fine for basically everything I was doing on it, if only it wouldn't freeze, and I'd love to know it was working going to someone who would use it. (I'm really too emotionally attached to my Macs!) Since it's no loss if I screw up, I figure if it might be reasonably cheap parts I might as well go ahead and try. More information, if any of it is useful: It's most likely to happen when I do two things quickly - say open an app or window then double-click on something else while the first is still opening. But it also often happens randomly as I work or browse the web. The file copies to its replacement were a nightmare - it would freeze every few hundred megabytes for most of it, so I'd have to restart figure out how far the transfer had gotten. Then the last 6 gigabytes or so transfered without error! Any ideas? Anne -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: AppleCare Question
ut 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. For what it's worth, the magazine Consumer Reports _generally_ considers plans such as AppleCare to be a waste of money when taken out on _most_ appliances: refrigerator, ovens, microwaves, etc. However, in a recent issue, they specifically noted that they thought such plans a wise idea for _laptops_, because laptops are moved about, prone to injury/damage, and easy to ship back and forth for repairs. I normally never sign up for such plans, but if I bought a new Mac laptop, I would. Cheers, bob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Airport Problem
Laurent: Chill. Check your solder joints on that ABS. The caps may have degraded or there may be a short between the terminals. Suspect that they are used to condition the input power for the ABS, so any shorts will be reducing the power available for running the circuits. I've replaced my caps twice in a graphite ABS with the latest set being of a far greater voltage than the originals. Test the ABS disassembled as well. You may be moving the caps in an inappropriate way when you close the internal clamshell. I actually cut holes in the clamshell to accomodate my first set of replacement caps as they were too big to fit. The first set didn't fail - they were a temporary solution. If all else fails, try a hard reset on that ABS. Maybe the firmware got rattled to a low power setting that was mentioned in another post. Thanks, Frank! Glad to hear from someone else who also repaired his ABS. Actually, I had a lot of problems to get enough solder into the board holes to hold the capacitors. I don't know if there is a trick when you do that, or maybe in removing the older capacitors, I did make the holes a little larger, but if there is a trick, I certainly don't know about it. Also, since you seem more knowledgeable than me about this, if you know a sure way to do any measurement after replacing the capacitors that would tell me whether my solder is good or not, I would greatly appreciate. I think that's is the only thing missing from the web site I used to do the repair. Again, I could certainly use your assistance to verify my (maybe poor) work. Thanks again! -Laurent. -- Laurent: Just check for continuity between a capacitor lead and a circuit board trace near the solder joints. A zero reading should indicate that your work is OK - not for sure, but good enough for our purposes. More importantly, check for any shorts between the cap leads or solder points as these are possible problems. Not sure if there are any internal foils on this card that are relevant, but you should examine that the solder appears to have bonded to pads on both sides of the board (if present). Check http://www.seanadams.com/deadairport/ for more tips. Also would check the functioning of the unit before you close it, and do be sure to upgrade the voltage rating of the caps relative to the original ones. Also, you did respect the polarity of the electrolytic capacitors? - they do have positive and negative terminals, indicated on the cap and usually on the board F. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Can this Wallstreet be saved?
Anne, Are you running OS X or OS 8/9? If 8/9 your problem may be software. 8/9 was never that stable. Install OS X and see if the problem goes away. If you are tied to 8/9, I suggest you do a clean install of the operating system. Paul On Mar 2, 2004, at 6:31 AM, Anne Judge wrote: My Wallstreet (266 MHz upgraded to 466 with the PowerLogix BlueChip card) constantly freezes. Usually it just freezes - no response to any key or mouse, so I have to force-restart. Every once in a while it puts up an error restart box, or at least starts to draw one. These aren't consistent, but at least sometimes refer to a bus error. On at least one startup attempt it read address error. It can happen any time, though it tends not to happen when I'm not doing anything with the computer (when it's just sitting there checking email every so often). It's done this occasionally on off for several years. When it started to get bad a couple years ago I pulled one of the RAM chips, thinking it might be bad - at the time I had a 256 a 128 - and it got better for the next year or so. Then it started again. Recently it added freezing while booting (it hadn't done that before), now I often have to start it up 2 or 3 or even 4 times to get it to complete booting. There's no one place that it freezes at - it could be anywhere in the process. So I finally tried to figure out what it was - so far have only figured out what it ISN'T - the RAM the processor. I've swapped my RAM chips around (new originals left each slot empty in turn) figured out it's none of them. I've put the original processor back in still had the problem. Is there anything that it's really likely to be that wouldn't be too expensive to try? I don't need this to work any more - my husband got tired of my bad language when it froze up on me as I worked, so I got a new 17 powerbook (original model, deeply-discounted floor model from CompUSA). I could dump the wallstreet, or see if anyone wants it for parts on eBay. But it's still fine for basically everything I was doing on it, if only it wouldn't freeze, and I'd love to know it was working going to someone who would use it. (I'm really too emotionally attached to my Macs!) Since it's no loss if I screw up, I figure if it might be reasonably cheap parts I might as well go ahead and try. More information, if any of it is useful: It's most likely to happen when I do two things quickly - say open an app or window then double-click on something else while the first is still opening. But it also often happens randomly as I work or browse the web. The file copies to its replacement were a nightmare - it would freeze every few hundred megabytes for most of it, so I'd have to restart figure out how far the transfer had gotten. Then the last 6 gigabytes or so transfered without error! Any ideas? Anne -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Swapping out a DVI TiBook display
Hi Dan- Thanks for the info! Wow. I'm amazed by that info. Makes me love and respect Apple even more. Even though taking apart that TiBook made me curse it's very existence ;) I came across some instructions my good friend gave me and they recommend using Loc-Tite; which I used to used when I worked on small engines. My experience with that scared me enough to NOT use it on a $3000 computer! But it may be the best way to go. Don't laugh, but I used copius amounts of SuperGlue on the hinges and frame, for now. I'll see how it holds up. I'll tell you, I'm not convinced any epoxy will provide enough hold over the long run. Maybe that¹s why Apple has had such a problem with the hinges.

Re: AppleCare Question
Al: Yup, without question you are correct. However, like all insurance, the point is to spread the liability out amongst the whole population of subscribers. Thus, if my computer chokes and it's going to cost $1,000 to repair, I've made out by paying $350 for three years of AppleCare. If my computer doesn't choke, I STILL make out because I've paid for indemnity against having to pay the $1,000 if my computer had in fact choked. The way I look at it is it is a win-win. Apple makes money on the program, and I indemnify any potential loss for myself to the tune of $350 over a span of three years. It's well worth it to me (having done it both ways in the past) to bite the bullet and pay the upfront cost so I don't have to worry about a large, unexpected expenditure. Plus, Apple's service is freakin' great (in my experience)... and our company used to use a third party warranty company (Service Net) and they really stunk so I'm saying this in comparison to at least one other warranty company (hey, I know Apple or AppleCare isn't perfect, I've had my fights with them over the years, I'm just saying that overall they are excellent). I won't buy a computer without AppleCare (if I can't afford the AppleCare I won't buy the computer) and I recommend strongly to everyone I help get a computer that they buy it as well. To me, it's just part of the price of having the computer. ... e On Mar 1, 2004, at 6:26 PM, Al Poulin wrote: 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.

strategy for repartitioning drive
I messed up when I first installed OSX, in that I thought both OSX and OS9 had to be in the first 8GB. Now I understand that only OSX needs to be there.

Re: strategy for repartitioning drive
John, A few thoughts. First of all, you have OS 9 on this machine, why not use SCSI disk mode? This would allow you to make your powerbook into a large external hard drive from which you could then back your stuff off. (really bad grammar there...) The do require a special SCSI adapter - a HDI SCSI/Dock adapter specifically for this purpose. If you don't have access to one of those you could always use a firewire PCMCIA/PC Card and mount an external FireWire drive or computer in FW Target disk mode. Much faster than 10Mbit. And yes, you can run CCC to copy the startup volume to another drive. But as far as I know CCC DOESN'T WORK OVER A NETWORK CONNECTION. The drives need to be mounted locally. So the above two options are your best bet. On Mar 2, 2004, at 6:25 PM, John Slavin wrote: That's what I was afraid of. So now I'm wondering how to get all this stuff off my wallstreet.
