Re: bookmarking mail messages

[Richard Smykla]

John,
I've read in the previews for OS 10.4 Tiger that the new Apple Mail 
will use an individual file format for mail messages, rather than the 
mbox format that it currently uses. If so, you could then conceivably 
bookmark individual messages with a reference something like 
.

You can open (or bookmark) any browser-readable file with this syntax 
already, but for Apple Mail you'd need to be able to reference a 
single message, which I don't think is possible without deeper 
exploration. There *are* email clients that keep messages as separate 
files, so this should work with one of those (like GyazMail 
).

Hope this helps.
Rick
That's not really what I want to do.  Like most people, I suspect, I 
have my bookmarks organized in categories that I use.  I also have 
important email messages that I have kept, some of which relate to 
the same areas as my bookmarks.  I was just thinking that it would 
be nice to be able to include individual email messages in my 
bookmarks, so that I could open email messages in addition to 
opening web pages.

Re: bookmarking mail messages

I hadn't thought about web mail, which I think you're referring to.  I 
was thinking about mail that's sitting on my computer over in Apple's 
own mail.app.

As in reading your web mail and you want to bookmark a message to come 
back to again.  You should be able to like any other page.  That is if 
it works.  The way a lot of web mail works may preclude the bookmark 
working later.

Re: bookmarking mail messages

[Bruce Mitchell]

I never thought of it before reading this thread, but it's a great idea and
I can see that it would be a very useful feature. Even if it was just
something like how the links work in Entourage.

Please let me know if you find a way to do it. I'd really appreciate it.

Bruce

Re: Problem with new G4 iBook

[Steve Fuller]

I think the TT Deluxe CDs they are shipping were made before the g4 
ibooks came out. There's a chance that the OS on them is not new enough 
to boot your G4 ibook. I have heard of this same type of thing 
occurring when the Albooks first came out and people bought Applecare 
with them.

Re: Surface current in the Titanium Powerbooks

[Marcin Wichary]

	Typically this happens when bare footed and your feet are on a tiled 
floor - particularly on the joins between the tiles.
That's 100% correct! I wouldn't have made the connection myself in a 
million years...

	Sometimes it can be eliminated by reversing the adapter in the power 
point. I should imagine the adapter is isolated but it seems some are 
better isolated than others - some leakage current is getting through.

	What adapter are you using?
Not sure if I understand the question. I use the brick white adapter 
with the British three-prong plug snapped right into it, and then the 
British-European (two-prong) adapter attached to it.

Re: Problem with new G4 iBook

[Brian Andrews]

My "new" Apple refurbished iBook G4 does the same thing at startup--the 
bar only goes half way across the screen, it says "waiting for network 
initialization" and then the desktop appears.  I haven't done much with 
the iBook yet so I don't know if there are any issues.

Please let me know what you find out and if this behavior is an issue.

Well, well.  The iBook would *not* boot from the TT Deluxe disk.

I have had almost no time with the new G4 iBook; it is, after all, 
the

that
when you boot up, if you watch the OS X screen as the system loads, 
there is
normally a  string of messages which flash across the OS logo as the 
blue
progress bar makes it way from left to right.

I instantly noticed something wrong:  the messages got only as far 
as
"Waiting for network initialization" and the blue progress bar only got
halfway across its allotted run before the OS X logo disappeared and 
the
desktop appeared.  *Everything* which my wife did in three weeks of use
worked perfectly:  sending and receiving mail via the airport card &

the desktop and G3 iBook using the ABS, setting preferences, 
downloading
using Software Updater, etc.  We would not have had a clue that 
anything was
amiss if we hadn't tried to reboot from the TT Deluxe and Disk Warrior 
CDS

Called Apple Care.  Fellow honestly admitted he had *not* heard of 
this
behavior before.  Told him we had run Cache Out, Mac Janitor, checked 
the HD
with Disk Utility (no problems found), repaired permissions, etc.  The 
only
thing he could suggest was an Archive and Install.

Did it.  No change.  iBook will still not start from the TT Deluxe 
or
Disk Warrior CDs and, when it boots up, it still displays that odd 
behavior
in that the scroll bar never makes it across its allotted space and the
messages never get beyond "Waiting for network installation".

A second call the Apple Care resulted  in their suggesting that I 
take
the iBook to the local Apple Store.

Closed until noon on Sunday.
A direct reply from anyone having any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Re: bookmarking mail messages

[Richard Smykla]

John,
Create a new (empty) bookmark and use this text for the address part:
javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+%0A%20%20'&BODY=%3C'+escape(location.href)+'%3E'
Put this new bookmark on your Address Bar in Safari. Now when you 
want to send an email with the URL of the displayed webpage, you just 
click on the new bookmark and your default email program should 
create a new message with the page title as the subject and the URL 
as the message text. You just need to enter the recipient info.

Is this what you wanted?

Ok Thx.  Reseating those is probably a good first step.
Hopefully they can find a local tech willing to do it, without delay.

AFAIK,  VST's card is identical to Apple's with a different label. The 
VST card works with Apple's drivers and appears to the 'Book as the same

I have some extra unused VST decoder cards for sale, contact me off-list

Nope, it's part of the processor card.

HOWEVER, I would try removing and reseating each RAM card just in case.

Cache problem - PowerBook G3 (bronze) Lombard

[darm0k]

Hi All,
Well, my housemates have been traveling in their RV again.  They 
spent a month+ in Canada, and are now they're at a friend's in 
Oregon...

Apparently their PowerBook (Lombard) got dropped.  Now, when they 
boot it, it gives a terse dialog that says there's a problem with the 
cache, then freezes.

I've talked them thru the basics - zapping PRAM, battery pulling, 
reset button, Exts off, etc.  My feeling is that it's truely a 
hardware problem, at this point.

Is there an actual cache card in the Lombard?  Something that a local 
tech can simply pull and reseat or replace?  ...Lookin for a 
quick'n'dirty possibility to get it working.

Thx,
- Dan.

Re: DVD Decoder card

Yeah, Apple's or VST's are the only ones that will be compatible, as 
long as the VST one claims Wallstreet compatibility. VST's card is 
actually a re-branded Apple card when Apple decided to not produce them 
anymore (IIRC), same with SmartDisk's Yo-Yo adapter now.

Warning: Product Plug Below
I have an Apple branded DVD card which I have no desire to keep around 
(I have a Pismo now and used it in a Lombard), which is functional and 
I would be willing to part with for a reasonable price. If you are 
interested, just let me know what your offer is, as I am willing to go 
a reasonable level under eBay's prices. Heck, I will throw in a 
HDI-SCSI adapter in free as it only cost me 2$ new. :)

Adam Thayer

12" 1.33Ghz Tibook questions

[walter]

From: Steve Fuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: 12" 1.33Ghz Tibook questions
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 22:35:55 -0500
just bought a 12" Tibook for my wife. Fantastic machine! Sleek,
whisper quiet, fabulous screen, so far it seems to be just about
perfect.
You actually bought a 12" AlBook for your wife. All the new Powerbooks
are Aluminum. :)

Steve, Bruce,
Oops! Sorry for the mistake...
Thank you for the info. You answered all my questions and set my mind 
at rest!

Screen / keyboard protector

[Emery Stora]

 - the often-discussed question of fingerprints on the screen: on my=20
 iBook I always place the foam sheet that came with the machine on the=20=

 keyboard before closing the lid. The Tibook seems to have two feet on=20=

 the lid that may actually prevent the keys from touching the screen. I=20=

 would be inclined to use the same strategy and place the foam thingie=20=

 on the keyboard before closing the lid. Any thoughts?
I have purchased a very thin leather protector from Other World 
Computing that works very well as a protector.

Thanks for the ref - the lid-cupping he observed means that possibly my 
warped lid (up on one side, not both) wasn't from customer abuse, but 
from manufacture - but in any case, I noted all such problems before I 
picked mine up & chose it anyway!  Saving $1000 was a major incentive 
:-)  (Dead pixels would have been much worse, but there weren't - & 
aren't - any.)

I stick a cloth between keyboard & screen & that takes up the slack in 
there as well as protect & clean the keyboard.

Oh, I did have latch problems, not a manufacturing defect but from a 
problem that developed later.  Does anyone else see this?  Anyway, it 
stopped latching, first one side then both latches, but I pulled the 
battery & found you can access the back side of the latch there & clean 
it out (there was cat hair & sand-like crud in there) & it's been fine 
since.

First, you probably did not miss these posts.  I may have made my inquiries
about the Albook on another List, either iBook or OS X List.

It was suggested that I read the very detailed Ars Technica report on this
model PowerBook, which I did and which I recommend to you.



...is the URl for the Ars Technica review.  It mentions lid-closing
problems, lid gap problems, and "The Dead Pixel Dilemma".

The reviewer's Summary:

The Big Picture

The 15" Aluminum PowerBook G4 is a balanced, capable laptop computer that is
experiencing some significant first-production-run jitters. If you are a
perfectionist (like many Mac users, including me) then you may start to see
small problems everywhere. For example, my up-arrow key cap is slightly
higher on one side, and my battery has a tiny bit of in-and-out play when
seated in the PowerBook's base.

All of these things can build up to the point where you are no longer
satisfied with your PowerBook. There are several stories on the web of
people who have reached this point, returning their AlBook's and sometimes
paying a large restocking fee to do so. As I wrote earlier, this is not the
route I chose. Despite its quirks, my AlBook is still a functional and
useful product.

It also helps that I will not be the primary user of the PowerBook. My wife
motivated the initiation and timing of this purchase. She's been waiting for
a laptop for a long time (I had convinced her to wait for the TiBook's
successor, which was due "any day now" for nine months) and she didn't want
to wait any longer. My wife is even more reluctant than I am to give up her
new toy and send it away for a latch repair. She also thinks I'm slightly
crazy to care about "details" like the lid gap, and couldn't care less about
a slightly-crooked keycap. Hey, if she's happy, I'm happy.
***

You might also find this discussion thread on the Albook interesting:

http://tech-geeks.org/tiny.php?url=1058

In short:  I was about to buy my first laptop, I was undecided as to whether
to get an iBook or a Power Book and I was doing a lot of investigation on
the subject.  Along came the DealMac info that SmallDog was selling a passle
of Albooks for a very attractive price.   Information on the Albook
indicating problems with bad pixels, latch problems, case warping, etc., led
me to look at and purchase a new 14" iBook instead.

Hope you find this helpful,
bob

What plastic frame? That little teeny bit around the edge?
My 17" was perfect that way after 8 months on display CompuUSA except 
for a small warp in the lid and some scratches from their laptop 
security "cage" - and it hasn't gotten any worse in the 8 months I've 
had it.   (Well, a few more superficial scratches, but that's my 
doing!)

Not true! It is just that at least for Iomega, they don't have any support
for an OS higher than 8.6 and therefore 9.2 will not see the burner.

TiBook LCD troubles

[Kevin Thomas]

I have picked up a G4 Titanium that is having LCD troubles.  It is 
being shipped to me so I have yet to check it out.  Below is a 
description from the previous owner...does anyone have any suggestions 
of what the trouble might be?  I've read that LCD troubles is common in 
the TiBook's...will a replacement LCD solve this?

Owner:  I shouldn't even attempt to explain why this is happening if 
Apple wasn't even able to fix it.  However, I can at least describe 
the situations when it goes out.  Sometimes it will not come on upon 
startup, so I restart it lifting the right side of the laptop while 
holding the left side down - I am in effect twisting the case.  This 
seems to make a connection at that critical moment at startup - this 
trick doesn't work when the computer is already operating.  Also, if 
the lid is shut or it goes to sleep it won't wake up sometimes - also 
if the LCD is adjusted in a certain way.  So as you can see this 
connection (wherever it may be) should be fixed if the laptop will be 
opened or closed (or even moved for that matter?).  This is pure 
speculation, but assuming you can locate this connection that is 
faulty, it could work for you.

Someone else's Response:  Judging from your description (and 
inspection of my own PowerBook, Apple's service manuals and the video 
chip's data sheets) this sounds like either a hairline fracture in the 
mainboard PCB or connector failure.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
