AirPort Extreme/dual-boot Pismo question

2005-01-10 Thread Carl Freire
Hey all:
I'm planning to get a wireless broadband router of some sort in the 
near future and have been looking into various options.  I had pretty 
much ruled out the AirPort Extreme base station due to compatibility 
concerns--I still work primarily in OS 9 on my Pismo and would not be 
able to administer the base station with OS 9's AirPort 2.0.4 
software.

However, it just occurred to me that I do also run OS X and keep it 
up to date, which means the AirPort software in my OS X partition is 
compatible.  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's all I need to 
administer the AirPort Extreme base station, right?  Doesn't matter 
that my Pismo has only an AirPort card, and not the AirPort Extreme, 
right?

My related concern was that, even though I could administer the 
saucer only when booted into OS X, once I have it set up it won't 
matter if I reboot into OS 9--I would still be able to use the base 
station as my wireless hub.  Once the settings are in place, it 
doesn't matter if I'm in OS 9 or OS X on the computer that set up the 
base station; it only matters when I need to perform some 
administrative tasks, right?  All I do is set up the base station to 
allow connections to people offering the right password and it runs 
on autopilot (more or less) after that, right?

The answers to all these questions seem pretty obvious to me, which 
is why I think I really ought to double check anyway :-)  So, here I 
am, double checking.  I have an 802.11g adapter for my other computer 
(a ThinkPad) and at some point in the future will probably add an OS 
X-only iBook or TiBook to my collection, so the Extreme base station 
(or a 3rd party 802.11g router) seems like the best way to go for the 
longer term.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Carl

I'm running OS 10.3.7 and it shows mail as 18Mb, 24Mb on disk.
Time to re-install the mail app.
Probably wouldn't hurt, but mine is the same size as Jim's (5 MB on 
disk, 4,085,684, version 1.3.9, Panther 10.3.7), a far cry from 18 MB.

I just looked inside my copy (18Mb).  Big surprise as to why it's so 
large, it has the full language support installed.  This is a new

Re: Pismo G3/Panther 10.3.4 OS 9.1 as classic-can't get 9.1 to 9.2

2005-01-10 Thread pace
Thanks... to Shawn  Jim for the replies!
Is your version of 9.2.1 a retail version? Or is it for a
 specific machine?
Is it a full version or an upgrade?
I had a somewhat similar problem on my Dual G4 desktop.
 I'll try to recall the install sequence.
Yes, it's a reatail version  it says mac OS 9.2.1 update Cd.
I got it in a pack when I purchased OS 9.1 or OX X.
Is there any reason why you don't go with 9.2.2?
Yes, because I have OS 9.2.1 not OS 9.2.2  i didn't even want to 
upgrade the classic past OS 9.1, but since I keep getting that
notice at every startup now...
snip  the upgrade CD (9.2.1, IIRC) would not install fully.
 I had to download or copy the CD contents (don't remember)
 to the hard drive, restart with extensions off, and run the
 upgrade from the hard drive. That worked, and I did the
 downloaded upgrade to 9.2.2. That was the only way I could
 get to 9.2.2. That was on my Dual G4 Gigabit.
May be similar in Kim's case?
Thanks,I will try that!
later, kim :-)

wireless for pismo: card or airport?

2005-01-10 Thread Nina Lerman
A friend's pismo (400 Mhz, 320MB RAM) will now be living in the 
vicinity of a base station, so I'm playing consultant and looking into 
adding wireless (it doesn't have an airport card now). It's running 
10.3.7 (very happily, by the way).

As far as I can tell, the advantages of getting an airport card are 
full support and once it's in there it's in there, doesn't stick out at 
all, but on the other hand it costs more, needs to be installed (not a 
big problem), and runs 802.11b rather than g (right?).

The various cards run 802.11g, are mostly cheaper and by all reports 
the broadcom ones seem to work well. The macwireless one is supported, 
but costs more. I do worry a little about how robust they are when 
traveling -- maybe the policy will be to remove the card before putting 
computer in case, and find special case to put card? or is it pretty 
safe once it's in there? And then there was something about breaking a 
little plastic tab somewhere on the way to finding how to release the 
battery (I haven't examined closely, but I think we're talking about 
the card slot on that one, does she need to fix it if she wants to use 
a card?)

Any thoughts, questions, suggestions, and warnings welcome!
thanks in advance,
Nina

If she wants to use a PCMCIA card, then yes, it would be better to have the
lever repaired but I think she would still be able to pull the card to
remove it.

As far as the choice of a genuine internal AirPort card vs. external ones,
even with 802.11g, I think I would go with the AirPort card. Like you said,
you stick it in and you forget about it. An external card will always stick
out of the PowerBook and is a subject of being hit, which could potentially
cause internal problems. I would certainly recommend removing the card
before packing the PowerBook in a case. So, you see, she might get faster
speed but she would need to pay attention to the card.

If she's mostly planning to use wireless to go to the Internet, then there
is absolutely no advantage to have the speed of an 802.11g over an 802.11b.
On the other hand, if she's planning to move large files (several megabytes)
over the network, then an 802.11g would make sense. Still, when I was using
my Pismo, whenever I had from time to time the need to move large files, I
would just use built-in Ethernet and be done with it...

St.Steve

2005-01-10 Thread kochkodin
Q  U  O  T  E  D
Then did St. Steve raise on high the Holy G5 of Cupertino, saying, 
'Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine Dell enemies to 
tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the people did rejoice and did feast upon 
the renderings of lambs and toads and tree sloths and fruit bats and 
orangutans and lickable icons. ... Now did the Lord say, 'Thou in 12 
months, thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the GHz 
and the number of the GHz shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, 
neither shalt thou count two-point-five, excepting that thou then 
proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the 
number of the GHz, be reached, then thine will be great and powerful in 
my sight, however if thou shall have more than one button on thou mouse, 
who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff thine's life.'

-- Justin Evers, in his Reading from the Book of Apple, Chapter 4, 
Verses 16 to 20, attempts to explain why Apple's G5 chips haven't yet 
hit 3 GHz.

Mac legions await release of Apple's new iDunno: With the Consumer 
Electronics Show in the rear-view mirror, the tech world's attention now 
turns to the Macworld trade show in San Francisco, where Apple will 
unveil its first new products of the year. If the rumors prove true, 
we'll see a $149 iPod, a suite of productivity software called iWork 
'05, and iLife '05. But will Apple uncrate the much discussed $500 Mac? 
Doesn't seem likely. Such a machine would be remarkably out of character 
for a company so focused on high-margin markets. More likely, we'll see 
CEO Steve Jobs trot out some sort of media server. At least that's what 
analyst Rob Enderle is looking for. Apple has a premium brand; Steve 
Jobs has likened it to Porsche, Enderle writes. Just as Porsche 
experimented and learned that the 914, a very low cost branded product, 
was not a good idea (a mistake also made by Lincoln with the Versailles 
and Cadillac with the Cimarron), Apple should not have a $500 general 
purpose box under the same brand as their premium lines. The perception 
of quality and exclusivity would be damaged and the net impact on 
revenues and margins would, if past patterns hold, accelerate their 
already negative path. However a low cost media server that would host 
iPods, have a simplified user interface, and expand Apple into the new 
digital home could be vastly more powerful. Consensus that these media 
servers should, for the broad market, have a starting price of $500 has 
been growing for some time and Apple is expert at the kind of 
appliance-like interface such a product would require. This product 
would be very similar in both targeted audience and experience to their 
vastly successful iPod and while it wouldn't bring people to the full 
Apple experience, it would bring them closer to Apple and help mitigate 
the growing dependency Apple has on Windows through the iPod.

Re: wireless for pismo: card or airport?

2005-01-10 Thread Nancy Lawrence
I have a Pismo 400 mhz, 1gb RAM, running 10.3.5 and have used both the 
Buffalo 54g w/port for optional antenna and the Belkin 54g (the one 
that can go up to 125 mbs) PCMIA cards.  I have been happy with both.  
I take my Pismo to and from my workplace at least every other day and 
haven't yet even bumped the card.  I liked the convenience of not 
having to do an internal installation and the option of faster 
speeds/upgrading.  I can get the model #'s if you're interested.

adding wireless (it doesn't have an airport card now). It's running 
10.3.7 (very happily, by the way).

As far as I can tell, the advantages of getting an airport card are 
full support and once it's in there it's in there, doesn't stick out 
at all, but on the other hand it costs more, needs to be installed 
(not a big problem), and runs 802.11b rather than g (right?).

The various cards run 802.11g, are mostly cheaper and by all reports 
the broadcom ones seem to work well. The macwireless one is supported, 
but costs more. I do worry a little about how robust they are when 
traveling -- maybe the policy will be to remove the card before 
putting computer in case, and find special case to put card? or is it 
pretty safe once it's in there? And then there was something about 
breaking a little plastic tab somewhere on the way to finding how to 
release the battery (I haven't examined closely, but I think we're 
talking about the card slot on that one, does she need to fix it if 
she wants to use a card?)

Any thoughts, questions, suggestions, and warnings welcome!
thanks in advance,
Nina

Pismo in Austria

2005-01-10 Thread Tom Adams
Hi G-Book Listers,  I will be traveling in Europe and spending time in 
Vienna, Austria.  Will my PowerBook G3 with an internal airport card 
work at most of the WiFi hot spots, or do I need a different PCMCIA 
Wi-Fi card?  Also wondering if the Yo-Yo power adapter will work with 
the standard power converter that adapts their 220 power to 110.
Please also send a response to:

Re: wireless for pismo: card or airport?

2005-01-10 Thread Kyle Hansen
On 1/10/05 12:52 PM, Nancy Lawrence [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the
Cybertrough:

 I have a Pismo 400 mhz, 1gb RAM, running 10.3.5 and have used both the
 Buffalo 54g w/port for optional antenna and the Belkin 54g (the one
 that can go up to 125 mbs) PCMIA cards.  I have been happy with both.
 I take my Pismo to and from my workplace at least every other day and
 haven't yet even bumped the card.  I liked the convenience of not
 having to do an internal installation and the option of faster
 speeds/upgrading.  I can get the model #'s if you're interested.

I also use Buffalo as my personal wireless router choice.  I have used their
stuff for years.  Very solid, very fast.  Some or their PC cards  work with
Macs as well.  Great products.

Graphite iBook and iMovie problems

2005-01-10 Thread Charles Meyerson
Hey, G-Bookers,

I have a venerable graphite iBook (466 mHz, 320M RAM), running iMovie
2.1.2 under Panther. The iBook's hard drive is almost full (less than
1 of its 10Gs is free), but I have a brand-new 120G external firewire
drive attached, and my digital camera (Canon ZR-70) attached to the
external drive.

I can't get iMovie to accept the camera's output (repeated get error
message disk responded slowly) -- same problem I'd hoped the
external drive would solve.

Questions: Which version of iMovie is best for this model of iBook?

Any strategies for addressing this problem?

Thanks.

CM

Re: Graphite iBook and iMovie problems

2005-01-10 Thread Nancy Lawrence
Not specifically to do with iMovie but I crashed my orig. 10gb Pismo 
hard drive by getting it too full and it was a week-long nightmare 
that eventually ended with it being mostly restored, thanks to 
DiskWarrior.  Shelled out the $100 for DW after two days of kernel 
panics and fscks to no avail and then an additional 5 days of DW 
running non-stop restoring the drive.  Before that happened, I didn't 
know about the keep 10-15% of your hard drive free no matter what 
rule but I found out about it afterwards and now abide by it 
religiously.  Just my .02...

USB PC Card on Wallstreet

2005-01-10 Thread Nils Mueller-Scheessel
Hi listers,
I am desperately trying to get a Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Notebook 
Card running with by Wallstreet (2nd revision, 233 MHz, upgraded to 
466 MHz, 256 MB RAM). The Belkin-Card is supposed to run with OS 8.6 
to X, but my PB always freezes in short time when I put it in the PC 
card-Slot. It is recognized in the System Profiler, however. I have 
installed OS 9.1, 9.2.2, the USB-Card-Support 1.4.1 - to no avail. 
Unfortunately, installing OS X is not an option, as my processor 
upgrade refuses to work with it (the processor is not the culprit, 
however, as the problem with the USB-card persists when using the old 
(very sloow) processor).

I have no idea if this is related or not, but my OrangeLink Firewire 
CadBus Card does not work, too (though it should as well). It is not 
even recognized in the System Profiler.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Connecting to a Wireless Windows Network

2005-01-10 Thread Tim Collier
We just donated our old Powerbook (G4 867) with an Airport Extreme card to
my nephew.  My brother-in-law has a Windows based wireless network in his
house.  The Powerbook used to connect to my home network that uses an
Airport Extreme basestation and WEP password protection.  My
brother-in-law's network uses no security (dangerous, I know).  Anyway, his
network shows up in the list, but when we try to log on, it asks for a
password.  I don't understand.
Should I set up a new location possibly so that it doesn't look for the old
Airport network?  What is the solution to convince the Powerbook that it
doesn't belong to my old Airport Network and find it's new home?

Re: Photo Printers

2005-01-10 Thread Claire Hart
What is your favorite photo printer? What I want to do is combining my
graphic design and my family into personal page layouts ie. 
scrapbooks. I
like to be able to work them over in photoshop first and sometimes 
print one
or two larger...
HP 5850. It *is* only a deskjet, but it works very well. I do very 
little
photo printing, but what I've done has *startled* some of my friends -
even a simple BW jpeg.
Kristina,
I have a Canon S800 that is possibly 5 years old.  I love that printer. 
 It has six ink cartridges: black, cyan, magenta, yellow, photo cyan, 
photo magenta.  When one tank goes out, you pay about $12 for its 
replacement.  I keep one of each as a spare, and have never noticed a 
drying-out problem with the tanks or spares.  (I also have an HP 
LaserJet 1200 next to it for strictly business BW.)  I get some NICE 
photos with that printer.

About a year and a half ago, I noticed Canon's newest printer, the 
i9900, could handle borderless 4 x 6 all the way to 13 x 19 and now 
had two additional ink tanks: red and green.  Its price is $499, so I 
held off buying it because I thought that by this Christmas the price 
would have gone down.  Well, apparently it's not having any trouble 
selling at $499, so I'm still waiting...

I did see, on one of those HGTV-type scrapbooking programs, someone 
creating scrapbooking pages completely on their computer.  Since 
scrapbooks are usually wider than 8.5, this wider Canon printer is 
just perfect for creating pages that will fit into scrapbooks.

Mac Design or Mac Format (or someone) recently had a review, with a 
comment that the output rivaled color laser printers.  I've noticed 
that Apple's site now carries this printer.

If you don't need the wider pages, there are less expensive models with 
all the other features.

Hope that helps,
Claire
P.S. On the scrapbooking show mentioned above, one option was to print 
the page on matte paper AND ALSO print the photos on glossy paper, and 
then literally paste the photos on the page to give it a more authentic 
scrapbook look.

Re: USB PC Card on Wallstreet

I had a similar problem years ago with a different powerbook and software,
but mine would only happen when I was on battery.  After shipping it to
Apple, etc., etc., a tech locally said to change the energy saver so it
wouldn't cut back on power on battery because the PC card needed continuous
power or it would crash the whole system.  For what it's worthgood luck

to 10.3.7.  Mail is v1.3.9 and, like Clark Martin reported 
initially, the Size info is 24 MB on disk (18,020,887 bytes).

Three questions:  Why the 6 MB difference in the info?  How/where do 
you find the language resource folders?  Any harm in letting the 
non-English folders sit there?
The 6Mb difference is do to lots and lots of files (4000+), many are 
small.  If a file takes up 3000 bytes it is allocated 4096 bytes on 
disk.  Multiply that by many files and you end up with a fair bit of 
unused disk space.

The Mail Application is really a Package.  Simply put a package is 
a folder with assorted sub folders and files.  The system knows about 
packages and normally displays them as an Application.  You can look 
inside by holding down the control key as you click on one.  A 
contextual menu comes up, select Show Package Contents.  It will open 
the Package folder and you can look around inside like any other 
folder.  I caution you about changing anything inside however, it 
could royally mess up the program.  If you are familiar with ResEdit, 
it is the OS X equivalent.

If you don't use the other languages all they do is take up space on your HD.

Yup, all Apple laptop power supplies have worked with every major 
domestic mains electricity standard in the world since at least 1995. 
All you need is the right adapter plug (European to US). These should 
be available at any airport and most Radio Shack-like chains for no 
more than $10.

Re: Connecting to a Wireless Windows Network

 We just donated our old Powerbook (G4 867) with an Airport Extreme card to
 my nephew.  My brother-in-law has a Windows based wireless network in his

 brother-in-law's network uses no security (dangerous, I know).  Anyway, his
 network shows up in the list, but when we try to log on, it asks for a
 password.  I don't understand.
 Should I set up a new location possibly so that it doesn't look for the old
 Airport network?  What is the solution to convince the Powerbook that it
 doesn't belong to my old Airport

Is it possible that your brother-in-law had setup a WEP password protection?

Re: USB PC Card on Wallstreet

Hi listers,
I am desperately trying to get a Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Notebook Card

MHz, 256 MB RAM). The Belkin-Card is supposed to run with OS 8.6 to X, 
but my PB always freezes in short time when I put it in the PC

installed OS 9.1, 9.2.2, the USB-Card-Support 1.4.1 - to no avail. 
Unfortunately, installing OS X is not an option, as my processor 
upgrade refuses to work with it (the processor is not the culprit, 
however, as the problem with the USB-card persists when using the old 
(very sloow) processor).

I have no idea if this is related or not, but my OrangeLink Firewire 
CadBus Card does not work, too (though it should as well). It is not 
even recognized in the System Profiler.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

I have this same card on my Wallstreet II and it works fine with the 
power cord attached to the card. With out the power cord attached only 
the USB roller mouse from Kensington works. Hope that this helps

You probably have processor cycling turned on in the Energy Saver 
control panel (or, if you're like me,  you may a similar Control 
Strip Module). If processor cycling is enabled you **will** get 
consistent freezes shortly after bootup.

Turn of processor cycling both in the AC settings and battery 
settings and I'm willing to be your problems will disappear.

BTW you *do* know, don't  you, that you will only be able to use the 
USB card at 1.1 speeds unless you are in OS X?

HTH,


Bob
