 If you're throwing other users in the mix, then it will add another level of
 complexity, plus the added problem of permissions. Even if you are the
 administrator, you don't have access to some folders of the other users.
 It's hard to synchronize the content of a folder when you don't have access
 to it. Sure, you could enable the root user, but if you synchronize folders
 to which you usually don't have access to, you need to be careful not to end
 up with a lot of scattered files that are owned by root and are not
 accessible by regular users. You might have another nightmare to restore the
 original permissions on the copies.

Laurent - 

This is very interesting.  I have a desktop G3 and a G3 Dual-USB iBook.

If I work on a file on one computer and would like to move that changed
file to the other computer, what would you recommend as the best way to do
so or would you totally recommend against it???

Many thanks,
bob

If the copy on the other computer has not changed, then you can just copy
the file over, through file sharing or other connection means. When you have
a few files, it's relatively easy to manage. When you have more files, or
when you start modifying some files on the other computer, that's when it's
getting tricky.

So, since I am using mostly a laptop but I also have a desktop, I came upon
that kind of complexity at some point shortly after OS X came out. I had
some files on my laptop like my Office identity that was residing on my
laptop and I wanted to share it with my desktop, so that I could use my more
powerful desktop Mac to read my emails. Same for my bookmarks. I then
checked what was available for synchronization. The offerings were whether
too expensive or cumbersome to use.

So, shameless plug I ended up writing my own synchronization app. You can
learn more from http://nemesys.dyndns.org/FileSynchronization_EN.html.
/shameless plug!

60GB 7200RPM or 80GB 5400RPM

2004-03-31 Thread Sam
What would you buy?

I'm really stuck here. I can't decide which drive to buy for my Pismo, and I
need one very soon. I'm stuck between the Hitachi/IBM Travelstar 60GB
7200rpm vs the 80GB 5400rpm.

Since I've seen very similar prices on them, is the performance increase
from a 5400rpm drive to a 7200rpm drive worth the smaller size? I'll be
doing some video editing, some music editing, and a lot of general everyday
multi-tasking in various apps.

Pismo 400mhz, 1GB RAM. Unless the performance boost is feelable, I'm
liking the size of the 80GB.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

-Sam

12 Mainstreet external video problem solved

2004-03-31 Thread Tom Zahm
Hi.

I don't know if anyone else has had a problem with an external monitor. 
 I've had one and have solved it.

The Problem:
If I have an external monitor attached when I power up my PB 
(Jaguar-only install), I'd end up with a blank screen on both the LCD 
and the external monitor.  If I'd boot up without the monitor attached, 
I couldn't re-direct the display (Detect Displays didn't do anything)

The First Workaround:
Start with monitor attached.  Unplug external monitor when the swirly 
thing shows up on the gray boot screen.  Plug the monitor back in when 
the disk sounds stop.

The Better Solution:
I found a bit of code from University of Utah Student Computing Labs 
which changed the screen resolution from the command line.  I modified 
it to use a resolution that both the LCD and the external monitor could 
live with, wrapped it up as a startup process, and dropped it in the 
appropriate system library.  Result -- PB starts fine with external 
monitor attached, or not.  Easy switch of resolution when external 
monitor attached via the menu bar thingee.

If anyone wants details, contact me offline.

Yours in Macdom,

Well, IMNSHO, I think that File Synchronization is the best, most
affordable and easiest to use tool but then, I'm the author!
I'm not the author and I agree. There are lots of other tools that 
offer lots of other features. However, it is not at all clear that 
they improve on synchronization and few of them are as intuitive as 
File Synchronization and most of them cost a lot more.

My only complaint is that the icon in the dock looks a bit fuzzy :)

Check it out.

troubleshooting dead Pismo

2004-03-31 Thread Jim Newberry
I just purchased a dead Pismo, which according to the seller
had been dropped. I'm trying to revive it. The case has a small
crack but otherwise it appears to be in very good physical condition.
It won't power on, and there are no lights on the battery etc--no sign
of power whatsoever.
I found a service manual pdf online, and have taken the powerbook
apart, as far as taking off the sound board. I made sure everything is
firmly seated and visually inspected all parts--I can't see any broken
parts.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting this? Are there any parts that
are most likely to be the culprits, or that would be good to start with
as far as replacements (battery, sound card)?
Also, any recommendations on good repair places?

Thanks!

-Jim

Wireless Wallstreet

2004-03-31 Thread Stephen Kerney
The recent thread about base stations whetted my appetite for wireless.
I've also been longing to break the built-in 10 Meg, half-duplex LAN
limitation I've got so now sounds like a good time to buy once I get my
facts straight.  

Today I went to CompUSA to check out the Buffalo that was mentioned and want
to verify a fact I was sold (I mean told).

Assuming I get an 802.11g base station (Apple or otherwise), can I use one
of the faster, up to 54 Mbps (ignoring the 108 Mbps flavor out there for
the time being) non-Apple 802.11g PC cards with my 233 MHz Wallstreet II and
if so, can I expect to see greater than 10 Mbps throughput (e.g., LAN file
xfer) or do I have to live with the slower Apple-only internal card as the
CompUSA sales rep indicated and just live with the 10 Meg 1/2 duplex
limitation enjoying the wireless freedom but not a theoretical 5 fold one
way speed increase?

I'd hate to buy an 802.11g PC card and find it doesn't work or get one the
works but have 1 Mbit throughput!

Thanks.

Hardware-wise, a 802.11g should work, but it all depends on the driver you
have. If the card is not recognized by the OS, then you will need to find a
driver. I know there was a free, unfinished driver and there is also
IOExpert that are selling one for OS X. I don't know if any driver supports
a 802.11g card, though...

Re: troubleshooting dead Pismo

One thing I forgot to mention regarding the dead Pismo;
there's no hard drive in it. But I assume it should power on
without a drive, correct? There is a DVD drive and I have
the startup disc.
I'm thinking about sending it in to Powerbookresq.com--
any experiences with them? It seems like $49 is a good
price to get the problem diagnosed (including shipping
both ways).
thanks again.

Strange behavior of Wall Street internal CD-ROM drive

2004-03-31 Thread Gary Goldberg
I wanted to reboot from my Disk Warrior
CD-ROM so I put it in the internal CD-ROM drive and
rebooted, holding down the C key, but the computer
started up from the HD, eventually reporting that
it couldn't recognize the CD-ROM and offered to eject
or initialize it, so I chose the former.

  The CD-ROM had opened on the Desktop when I had 
inserted it before rebooting and also was recognized 
when I re-inserted  it after it had been ejected.

This happened all over again when I repeated
the procedure, but restarting with the C key down
only immediately after inserting the CD-ROM.

Finally, I decided to choose the CD-ROM from
the Startup Disk control panel and that worked when
I restarted.

Perhaps related is that the Wall Street started
up yesterday with a bootable Jaz disk in the drive. 
I thought you had to press a specific key combination
(Option+Command+Shift+Delete) to get a Mac to
boot from an external drive, overriding the internal HD.

Anyone have any explanations?
