iceBook Repair Expanded AGAIN!
OOONCE aGain, Apple has expanded the iBook Repair Program, so all you wussies who dissed me for inSISting that Apple FURTHER expand the program, shut the * up and get your fizzling zapping poppin hunk of lucite and cheap butt first gen silicon into the hands of our man Jobs and have it REBORN as the 4th Gen iceBook it was always meant to BE! FROM MACCENTRAL: Apple again expands iBook logic board repair program By Peter Cohen [EMAIL PROTECTED] June 21, 2004 10:45 am ET Apple has, for the second time, expanded its coverage of its iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program. The program will correct certain defects on iBooks manufactured between May 2001 and October 2003, and will reimburse iBook owners for expenses incurred to correct eligible repairs out of warranty as well. The program was first introduced in January 2004, covering iBook laptops built between May 2002 and April 2003. The repair program was then expanded to cover additional machines made until October 2003 in April. This latest change covers certain iBook models made as far back as May 2001 -- Apple's Web site lists the affected models and their corresponding serial number ranges, so make sure to check out the page to see if your system is eligible. The worldwide logic board repair program fixes issues on these models related to scrambled or distorted video; the appearance of unexpected lines on the screen; intermittent video images; video freeze; and starting up to a blank screen. The cost of repair and shipping is covered by Apple, and users who have already paid for an eligible repair can contact Apple to be reimbursed -- Apple also indicated that is proactively contacting affected customers who have given the company up-to-date contact information.

Re: Wallstreet 1 - no battery indication, Open Firmware
On 21/6/04 21:48, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Try and *shut down* the machine before you boot up into OF. For some reason that gave me better results before. Have been following this thread with interest as I have a WallStreet II and a recent, suddenly dead battery (no lights at all), that Battery Reset cannot revive. When you insert the battery the WallStreet recognises it as a battery for about a minute, then decides it can't charge it and the menu bar and Mac OS 9 Control Strip indicator changes to no battery installed. I could not boot into OF with a restart, although I remember being in OF once in the distant past. Following Mikael's post about shutting down first, I tried it and Open Firmware came up first try :-) Unfortunately no change in my dead battery (yet). Maybe it is really dead.

Re: VHSDVD and TV tuner

Willi If you want to convert video to DVD with a Lombard, you'll need Toast as a minimum. I don't think iDVD will install, and it doesn't work with external drives anyway. You can burn an iMovie project with Toast, but be prepared for it to take a very long time to digitize the video. I mean like overnight to prepare it.

video to disk
First off, consider using the Video CD format VCD for your transfer of VHS tape material instead of DVD. The VCD format plays just fine on about 98% of DVD players and you can record on regular CD burner media at about 20¢ or so a pop instead of $2 each for DVD media. The Quality of MPEG-1 VCD is just fine for recording from older analog media. The MPEG-2 format in DVD will just more accurately record the lack of quality of VHS tape, not make it better. My two ¢ worth. By the way, all of you with older G-books and older Macs without DVD players built in, you can play VCD movies just fine so long as your processor is about 200 MHz or faster. They can be purchased commercially (yes, legal studio porduced copies sold in europe and asia) at web sites like http://www.coolvcd.com and http://www.allvcd.com and VCDs typically cost much less than half of what DVDs cost.

Re: Keychain Problems
My brother just bought a refurbished ibook from apple. He loves it but he says that keychain access keeps popping up and asking for his password... He types it in and it doesn't9t work... Is there a way to fix this? His password works everywhere else. Thanks, shane Shane - I've been having Keychain problems with my G3 Dual-USB iBook for a few weeks now and let me tell you...it is gigantic pain in the rear. This is a really complex problem and there's no way to reduce it to a simple answer. My problem is connected with Safari and Keychain. Launch Safari, go to any Apple site, Safari crashes and the Keychain won't function unless I restart. Everything then runs fine until I launch Safari again and it repeats all over again. Go to Apple.com Support tab Discussion tab and do a search for Keychain in the Discussion groups. You'll get tons of info...sadly, no one, even Apple, seems to have come up with a solution to date. An example of one post follows. Good luck, bob RE: Is this a problem with Keychain or what??? I've tried everything mentioned here and still have a keychain problem after installing the security updates. I've been using Mail for a long time with no problem. After the 4/5/04 Security Update I kept getting message from my mail server that my password was rejected...maybe 1 out of 3 times. After installing the 5/24/04 Security Update, my mail server rejects my password every time. I run my own mail server on another Mac here in the office, so I know the problem is not on that end. I can send mail, and my server sees me log on, bit Mail gives me The server rejected your password message. I have no other problems with keychains...all my internet secure sites work fine...it's just Mail. Here's what I've tried so far: Repaired Permissions Repaired Keychain Access Deleted Mail preferences Deleted Keychain preferences Ran Diskwarrior to repair directory Deleted the Keychain entry for my Mail server Dragged my Keychain file out of my home folder and restarted with new keychain.same problem Finally, I downloaded Eudora and set it to bypass Keychain, and it downloaded my mail just fine. This tells me there's no problem on the server end. Help! I don't want to use Eudora, I want to use Mail. If I delete my account in Mail and set it up again, it says it will delete all my mailboxes.

Re: VHSDVD and TV tuner
Hi all, I use a Formac Studio TVR for analog to digital conversion. Only $299 and it's *totally* seamless when converting from just about any analog source to iMovie. I agree with Jeff that a DV cam works great for this (I have a Sony 730 digital-8 deck,) but for plug-it-in-and-it-works Mac-like conversion, it's hard to compete with the Formac unit. Here's the tutorial: Plug a 6 pin firewire cable into your Mac. Plug the other end of the cable into the Studio TVR. Plug the three rca cables (or the one S-Video cable and the audio cables) into your analog source unit. Plug the other end of these cables into the Studio TVR. Turn on the Studio TVR (switch on the side.) Start iMovie. Start importing video. I don't work for them... I was just shocked out of my mind when I tried it and it worked just like I expected it to. It also works as a TV Tuner... very nice. smiles, Jamie On Jun 22, 2004, at 7:24 AM, Jeff Hubatka wrote: Then, you will need to convert the VHS to digital.
