 What do you mean exactly by switches itself on? Is it sleeping or
 completely off? Which system are you using, OS 9 or OS X? Did you check in
 the Energy settings that you're system is not set to start up or wake up at
 a specific time?


Is energy saver set to ³restart after power failure²?

Nope and it had been switched off for days.

Return refurb iBook G4 12 or not?

2004-08-16 Thread Allen Lambert
I just got my refurbed iBook G4 1 ghz from Apple on Friday, and I love 
it. There's a slight problem with the screen in that the back left 
corner is warped a bit inward by somewhere between 1/16 and 1/8 inch. 
Everything appears so far to be fully functional, and in addition they 
sent a much larger hard drive than the one I ordered - a 55 Gig hard 
drive as compared to a 30 gig (by the way, what would I call that 55 
gig, a 60 gig, or a 50 gig?)

I'd like advice from the list if they would recommend returning the 
ibook or not. I know ultimately my decision should be based on whether 
I can live with it, and I think I can, but I'm wondering if the list 
thinks this is a big enough issue to mess with.

Thanks!
Allen

If it's not perfect, you should definitely return it.

The hard drive is most likely a 60 GB...

Depends on what you want to use it for. I have a 20GB external FW drive that
I partitioned in 3 partitions for my development purposes. One is for 10.2,
one contains a backup of my PowerBook startup partition (made with Carbon
Copy Cloner) and the 3rd one is for Tiger. So, I can switch system on my
PowerBook for development testing.

However, if you plan, for example, to do video editing, then it would be a
good idea to keep at least one big partition because digital video consumes
3.6MB per second of footage.

So, as I said, it all depends on what you intend to do with that external
drive...

Powerbook G4 CD/DVD and discs stuck at insertion

2004-08-16 Thread Mikael Byström
Lately a few times I'm inserting a disc in to the CD/DVD drive (the
MATSHITA DVD-ROM SR-8187) of my PB G4 / 400 and it gets stuck just about
midway. If this happens and if I try to remove the disc to reinsert it,
it gets scratched as the insertor arms must have got their hands onto
the disc before it gets stuck. This have rendered 2 discs unusable. After
removal the drive clams and make some noises as it tries to spin up the
non existing disc.

The problem seem to be able to fix itself, but can reappear later.
The area just right of the trackpad seem unusally giving and if I press
there with a disc in the drive I can hear the disc getting touched. A 550
I have here also is much stiffer and it isn't possible to affect the
spinning disc by pressing down.

I need some suggestions what to look for if I remove drive to inspect it.
I suppose the softness of the cover can be related, but I haven't seen
anything obvious missing inside or being misaligned in order to cause
this. That doesn't mean it's not there and I have a hard time accepting
this softness and occasional insertion problems.

Any suggestions and ideas to find the cause of this problem are welcome.

check how far from the bottom case the display was and now the display

Do I need to replace something or what can I do? Could it be the magnet

Re: Using wireless PC card in Pismo

2004-08-16 Thread Sam
Anyone know of any alternative drivers for wireless PC cards? IOExperts'
seems to be slick and work well, but unless I find a reasonably priced
original Airport card, I'll likely be switching cards and really don't feel
like shelling out an extra $20 for each card I choose to put in my
Powerbook. If it was $20 for unlimited external cards on their supported
list, it would be a no-brainer, but I really don't like their $20 per card
license.

Has anyone tried the free Sourceforge driver (for OS 10.2) with OS 10.3.x?

 alas, won't work without driver under OS X. There was an open source driver
 started by a guy who ended up writing a commercial driver for IOExperts.

Re: Using wireless PC card in Pismo

2004-08-16 Thread john slavin
I have a spare wavelan silver card and I wanted to see if if would work 
in my Wallstreet running 10.3.4 using the sourceforge driver.  Although 
I haven't used it a lot, it seems to work just fine.  My regular card 
is a Cisco 350.  Their free drivers also work just fine with 10.3.4

seems to be slick and work well, but unless I find a reasonably priced

Powerbook. If it was $20 for unlimited external cards on their

list, it would be a no-brainer, but I really don't like their $20 per

Has anyone tried the free Sourceforge driver (for OS 10.2) with OS 
10.3.x?

Can anyone suggest some software that I can use to
schedule future plans or outline projects that I want
to complete by a certain date. This can probably be
done in ical but I don't think I can run that on os
x.1.5. I am currently searching MacShareware.net.

OS X startup problems for Lombard

2004-08-16 Thread COCCORP
Howdee,

I am having a problem with my Lombard 400mhz with OS 10.2. 

Two weeks ago, I took a HD out of a gussed-up Wallstreet (500mhz) that had OS 
10.2, my 1st foray into OS X. Anyway, it has worked well until this evening. 
Now, when I try to start the laptop, it shows the white screen w/ the black 
apple, and the twirly thing at the bottom. 

...and it just twilrs and twirls. The only way I can boot the machine at all 
is to use my OS 9 cd-rom; when I do, and go to the Startup Disk control panel 
on the HD, I can only choose the OSX startup, as I do not see one for OS9.

(In my best Sally Struthers imitation) .Please won't you help?

You can't turn them off. The power management unit decides when it thinks
that the battery is charged to stop charging it and that's when the lights
go off. Maybe your battery is getting a little old or your power management
unit is confused...

There are some problems with the hard disk, methinks. If you have the OS X
installation CD, try to boot from that CD. When you're in the installer,
there should be an option in the Apple or File menu to launch Disk Utility.
Try to repair the disk.
