Re: iBook CD ROM dead, Install question. HELP
Alex Santos 100MB Neostrada Mail said: I installed it over FW, it is original 9.1 CD which came with the first release of OX and it wouldn't boot either, is that indicative of anything? Are you trying to boot into OS 9 as opposed to into classic? Did you choose the partition/drive and the fresh 9.1 system as the startup disk? Did you install a proper system for your machine? Did you choose the proper disk for installation? Are you sure the CD in question can boot your machine? Did you bless the system folder or not? Did you erase the drive when installing or not? Have you verified the firmware of your CD-drive is the latest? When I've had boot problems I've made total reset via Open Firmware, booted into the installer disc (or drive), made low level reformats prior to installation, installed as well as made sure I've choosed the proper startup disk.

So dealt with her, then she said we might as well get the iPods signed up, well I already paid for that, I don't see it. Applecare is a hardware warranty. Not a hand holding service. You need to register to reap the benefits of Applecare. Really, do you read where it says unlimited help with your Apple product on the phone.Did I need some help, yes. This is a very good example of what you the consumer can expect from Apple Care, the attitude, the denial of problems and just a careless attitude towards customers, tending to blame YOU!!! not little sweet Apple. This is Apple Care if he has the guts to print it I asked Apple Care if they could send a disk with these updates on there, I would pay for shipping and any reasonable costs. The new tomato on the phone said it's not Apples fault that you do not have the capability to down load a 100 meg file. Applecare is a hardware warranty. Not a hand holding service. Wow Kyle Better go back and read the TOS of Apple Care they provide support over the phone for Apple Products. Now if they do not want to send a disk fine. It just cost them a G5 Apple also builds the OS, in case you don't understand, so help with that would be covered under AC. Do they have to send the disk,no. Should they try to help yes. Remeber the i's software who build that M$$ Now I really want a G5, tricked out it will run between 5 to 10K. When Apple Care got nasty because I needed a upgrade disk and I mean snotty, Applecare is a hardware warranty. Not a hand holding service. They are not required to supply CD versions of software to a customer. If you don't have a fast enough connection then get one...or go rent one at your local Kinko's for less than the shipping costs would've been. It is not Apple's fault. Hey got your life I got mine, if that is what works for you fine, I expect after dropping almost 4k sending a copy of a software update would be an easy thing to do. Instead of being told in the same dumb ass tone, we can't do that in a rude and careless voice. As a business man you always try to help customers have a good experience. I can get by without that G5 for now Apple is a hardware company your own venom is clogging your brain, OS X iLife, Keynote, iWorks, Apple Works get the idea iMovie, the list goes on. One more thing, if you think there is a problem get it fixed before the last year of Apple Care and for sure the last 6 months. Less then 6 months they will blame it on a spilled liquid sometime in the last 6 months and Apple does not cover that. This is a joke right? No you are, I called to get it repaired and the Apple tech guy put me through to Apple Care Dispatch, the first thing he said was, guess; We do not cover spilled liquids in computers. No Kidding. After getting this back after Apple claimed that sometime in the last 6 months a liquid was spilled. I asked what, we don't know, well how can you tell, we have tests. Having no proof that there was liquid spilled the denied the claim. I fixed it for $5.00. When Apple wanted over a thousand. I started researching Apple Care, this is a common claim as it is difficult to prove or disprove that in the last 6 months a liquid was or was not spilled. So most people give up. They said I needed a whole new motherboard, sure working good now with a $5.00 invertor.. This is slander. Can you back this up with evidence? Yes plenty, but your you are incapable of comprehending that. So I am not going to waste my time. Please be my guest call old Gwenny at Apple and discuss this with her, if you can get through. I would love to take this experts and I have the resources, so if in it be ready. Don't make threats. No? I didn't think so. You know nothing, if it's slander send it to Apple, I still have the parts with the code and I still have the recording she left saying we will ship this out. Guess somebody got caught in the cookie jar. Please, I was going to sue them in my state court as others had suggested, not worth the energy.

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
Hey geoff, let me start out by saying that i completely understand your frustration, I think that apple is changing from the company I knew and loved a decade ago-- but then again, that's because they're moving to the mass market. Any time a computer company has to put a warning on their website stating that users should not eat their product, such as the ipod shuffle, you know that they've started to market their products to a population that is a little less than technically inclined. For all of that, applecare hasn't really changed. I just got an ibook, bought applecare for it, and it was 187.00 USD with my student discount. There was an issue with the keyboard, so they sent me a replacement, no problem. They've replaced my first gen ipod twice already, and I didn't even HAVE applecare on that. They took back and replaced parts on my G3 lombard nearly two years out of any sort of warranty without cost, they made a house call to replace my motherboard in my dual G4 quicksilver just barely out of warranty and with no cost. -- Will they cover a cup of java sloshed into the keyboard? No, that was your fault for not remembering middle school science, and thinking that liquid and electronics go hand in hand. -- Will they cover a laptop that's been dropped out of a moving car? Well, you can always try, but my guess is that kyle and his ilk will probably frown and ask again how it happened, just to hear it one more time. I see your point about the update software, and while it would be nice to have CDs to distribute, I for one appreciate that apple doesn't manufacture such things, which would really be wasteful, since it's available online anyway. 100mb is a long download for sure, but my guess is that it'd be done in two days, much shorter than sending a CD via priority mail. my suggestion is to lighten up a little bit and look at the whole pictures. you make it sound like a 14 screen shortage was premeditated or some sort of plan Steve Jobs came up with just to annoy you.

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
I've been reading everything in this thread and have to put in my $.02. Due to some silly problem after Hurricane Andrew back in 1992 the Florida legislature passed a law that somehow prohibits us from purchasing AppleCare. All we can get is the 3 months of phone support and the 1 year warrantee. IF, I could purchase AppleCare, I surely would. Apple has been excellent in any contact that I have needed from them.

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
Thought of it but I just dropped 4K and this was my first contact with Apple Care since they Lied. 2 nice people and I probably would have got the G5. But if 4K can't get me a simple CD that I am willing to pay for, I am going to dump 5 to 10, not with these guys. It was 2 different people and they were both just nasty and unhelpful.

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
Applecare was pretty good to me, all told. I never had to send my Ti400 in to apple, but the local tech in Montreal had to replace a board and three screens (green lines) over the years. The future is not pretty though, for me: Apparently the slow cracking at the hinges will eventually cause a failure that is considered normal wear and tear and not covered. (Applecare is finished, but this is a local extension using the same protocols.) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Well you know the nice thing about emails you do not need to open them, you do not need to answer and frankly I am sure glad I do not live in your house, if you get this moody over Apple Care my gosh. Plus get the facts right. Because I don't go along with apple dance and understand the frustration that a man has who just bought a new computer a month ago. The screen is out and he can not use it, does not get any sort of C/S that makes him at least feel better, frankly tough, don't read. I know what he feels like. I know many have had good outcomes. I realize this is a very pro mac site and will get little support but if your willing to put up with junk then that's what you will get. They should take of this man. I could order a new iBook and have it Wed. He can not get a screen, that's wrong and as much as I support Apple, I will push them to the wall to do things right. Otherwise there will be no Apple. And frankly, if you spoke to the AppleCare people in the same tone as here, I am not at all surprised they weren't so eager to help you. I spoke very well to Apple Care People I have responded in kind here. You totally misread Kyles post and thought I sent in a computer with coffee in it, if your going to complain and get all cranky, get the facts right.

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
A backup computer need not cost much at all. My wife's Lombard PowerBook, which is capable of running the exact same software as my G4 only cost $250. My Pismo was $400. Even cheaper, if you just need to get email and surf the web, almost ANY Mac or PC from the last 8 or 9 years will do the job, along with plenty of free or old software to handle productivity. My daughter has a Kanga, though a 3400c or even a 5300c would run the same software well enough to serve as a backup computer. The Kanga cost me all of $150 and with OS8.6 is actually fast and pleasant to use, while even a lowly 5300 would be acceptable under OS 8.1. Any of those low-end PowerBooks is much cheaper than AppleCare on the new one. If you use desktops than it is even cheaper, with CRT iMacs and BW G3s in the low $100 range, and capable of running Panther with modest RAM and hard drive upgrades, again very cheaply done.

If i remember correctly, most of the parts in the ibook were actually water-washed after the soldiering phase (and before the addition of microchips) because of flux residue. Soap may be too abrasive, but water will probably not hurt the keyboard. If you do any light scrubbing (and I suggest not, just repeatedly dipping, soaking, or a light rub) it may lift the vitals off the board. I'd give it a try though. Oh, and DEFINITELY wait for it to be entirely dry, laurent was quite right in suggesting 2 to 3 days. If you've GOT to have it faster, try a fan. (NO HAIR DRYERS!) --- I apologize for not replying to this sooner but I am have just been catching up on my email from last week. I would definitely recommend isopropyl alcohol over water. It will do a better job removing the soda and will dry faster and cleaner than water.

I'm hoping to get a decent Pismo or something similar myself to have available should I need it if my Al PB goes in for repairs. I agree. After buying a computer for several thousands dollars, I can't imagine somebody will turn around and get a backup computer, even if it is a used one, just in case. I replaced my Pismo with my current 17 and I still have the Pismo, so I could use it in case I have to have my 17 serviced, but I can understand that someone who spends $3500 for a new machine might be a little strapped for cash... -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
I strongly disagree with your statement Geoffrey. I think AppleCare is a must. I have never had any bad dealings with Apple in regards to having it. Case in point. My new G5 had a Bad Power Supply. I took it to the Apple Store. They fixed it, but forgot to calibrate the Machine after replacing the Power Supply. My G5 started blowing the fans at full speed. The noise was so bad, it hurt my ears. I called Apple and told them what happened. They apologized for the error. Then they offered to send a technician to my apartment to fix my new G5. They understood that the G5 was a heavily machine, and would have been a burden to take back to the Apple Store. So a technician came out to my apartment. He fixed my new G5 in 30 min.

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?

Now of course Apple's reccommended solution to this problem is for me to give them another couple grand for a new AlBook and 3 more years of Applecare Fat chance!- I can buy a stack of Pismo's for that kinda money, compute for years on them, and never drop a dime at the Apple Store again.

Hey, users can help too.
Any time a computer company has to put a warning on their website stating that users should not eat their product, such as the ipod shuffle, you know that they've started to market their products to a population that is a little less than technically inclined. Am I the only one who think it's a joke...? I was laughing as hard as I can, but I think he is serious Of course I was kidding. But if 4K can't get me a simple CD that I am willing to pay for, I am going to dump 5 to 10, not with these guys. You know, I'm sure that there are people on the list that wouldn't be against doing the 200mb download and mailing you a cd. I imagine the postage wouldn't be (much?) more than a dollar, and lord knows it wouldn't put us out much. anyway, let me know. -dyl -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
Can we turn the page now? While not all my AppleCare experiences have been rosy, they are consistently ranked among the best personal computer companies in terms of both reliability and support. Individual experiences may vary, of course. Lately I have found their support much improved from 5 years ago.

backing up PB to external HD
I have a 120 GB external HD. When I bought it, I divided it into 6 equal partitions. I backed up my OS 9 iMac on one partition, and used a second partition as a working backup for files (still OS 9). A third partition backed up Jaguar stuff, but that was quickly replaced with Panther, so a fourth partition is dedicated to the Panther stuff on my iMac. Now I want to backup my PB (way overdue!!) System Profile says that of my 74 GB capacity, I have 47 GB available. I don't quite understand why it says I have a 74 GB capacity when I bought an 80 GB computer, but that's beside the point. I'm going to subtract 47 from 80, which tells me that I've used 33 GB on this PB. Since my external HD is divided into 20 GB partitions, it appears impossible for me to back up the whole PB, which is what I really want to do. I thought I was completely backing up my iMac when I did my first backup. After reinitializing the iMac, I found that applications were not necessarily backed up, just documents and such. You guys recommended Carbon Copy Cloner. Well, I have it now and am ready to go. I almost want to rent an external HD to back up mine, then repartition my HD to leave the largest sector for Panther. Hmmm, Tiger is just around the corner...I'll need another partition for that! Am I correct to assume that I can't reattach two partitions for this backup?

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
Aaron Some how I am accused of saying and doing so many things; I am not saying do not buy Apple Care, I bought it, everyone probably should. I did not buy it for the iPods. However of all the Mac Dealings this has been my worst department. What about the people finally getting the logic board from May 2001 till October 2003 builds, they complained and experienced the worst of Apple, their finally getting relief in 2005. 4 years, how happy were those folks. It just seems Apple could do better here. They always take it to the absolute edge of lawsuit or to lawsuit before something is done. I know there are thousands of glowing little reports. And woe to thee who dare trample the Apple here, in the midst of My Apple Do or Die. You hold the company to a high standard and don't push away those who say this is wrong. The core users, the evangelists should be pushing the hardest for top quality and fair repairs, not just blowing it off as impossible. I have switched 10 maybe 14 people and a medium size business. I am not bashing, I just understand what the guy is going through. If everyone on this list stopped bitching and sent Apple a letter or e-mail, the guy would probably have his book. However it seems to be more fun to just say Apple right or wrong then to help fix a problem for a guy who bought a Apple product. If the guy has a bad screen, he has had it a month, either fix it or give him a new book, that's just good business, granted a happy customer usually tells 2 people, a unhappy one tells 10. I have not dealt with with Apple Care except on the old 5300 plastics and power attachment and the system 8 deal those were fine and then the Pismos. I have more lap tops then I know what to do with. I am a fair person. I took time out of my day to call back the next day and complement the manager of sales, not the assistant, the real manager, everyone was trying to side step me as I wanted the manager, knew his name and they were afraid why. He was responsible for getting a group of workers whipped into shape to meet the xmas rush and this worker was real good, limited knowledge but a excellent attitude. The manager talked my ear off saying it's important to get feedback, Apple is revamped Apple Care, we talked about how good it looks for Apple right now and the whole company is feeling the rush of energy. I agree. I just call it as I see it, the guy asked how long do I wait. If it's me, give me a computer or refund my money. A month is just to short of time for a computer to flake out and make a man wait 18 days. Plus not be honest and make him feel like their playing games with him. That's a big part of this, he feels lied too, nobody likes that. It's bad business. I understand people disagree but the big picture is Apple denies when they know there are problems. It's because they had to get cheaper, if there going to get cheaper, then be ready for the fall out and unhappy people. I am glad your new G5 got it's power supply replaced, however where was the checklist to make sure your fans were not going to blow you out of the room. That error cost Apple more money then if the repairmen did it right the first time. So you were satisfied and that is number one in importance Incompetence costs money too. If were going to say this is the best computer, then it should be.

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
You're right, that's not what I wanted to hear, but then I wanted straight answers, not happy fluff. I don't know what the local lemon laws are, but I've heard of them. This is definately not my first mac by any means, I've been a long and devoted mac fan since I was a little kid. However, the last time someone in my family sent in a computer to applecare was my families old IIsi, which failed for the same reasons as my iBook originally did, and when it came back we were amazed at the difference (the computer still runs perfectly to this day, though it sees no use lately) I've had (as mine or as a family computer growing up) a IIc, IIsi, 7100/66, 5300cs, 1400/166c and the most recent (besides the iBook) is an iMac DV SE, which is still a strong workhorse. They've all been outstanding machines, and this is the first real problem I've had with applecare, but at least they are taking care of it (unlike Compaq did with my presario). As I said before, there are alot of good things happening here with this situation, my only problem is that I'm being forced to deal with someone elses poor production and inventory planning. I also realize we live in a time where inventory is kept at or below minimum to reduce coporate costs, but that line of thinking also leads to problems like these. I do need the computer- all my appointments, addresses, music etc are on there, and it handles 90% of my schoolwork (including notes from lectures and audio recordings from lectures). I still have the old 1400, but it won't do the job that this iBook did, and I want it back.

Re: Pismo in Profound Vegatative State
Dyna I would try putting panther on it. 10.2.4 or 6 updates somewhere in there just toasted my pismos and a lot of other peoples on Pismos they just went waco, just like yours sounded. I started to dig into unix and said this is a waste of time, I buy a computer to work, not work on it. I went back to 9. Panther came out and has run well. Very well. I see copies getting down there in price pretty cheap, so if it did not work, you would not be out too much $$ After the warranty went out I put a gig of ram in all the pismos and it also made a big difference. I also just installed system 10 on the book, put nine on one of the little firewire drive boxes OWC sells, so if I need 9 it's there and usable. I have not used it, just checked it out every so often. hope it helps some. Does it run in 9? Geoff at 11:14 AM, Dyna wrote: My 2000 Pismo running OS10.2 has become near impossible to boot.

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
ALL PowerBooks are sent to Texas, They send you a box and off it goes unless it's a consumer installable item. That's what Apple told me, even if it goes to a dealer, all PowerBooks go to Texas. That is not true, all repairs I've had under Apple Care have been done at a shop locally. I have never sent my Apple products anywhere. I have always carried them into a shop myself and the work was done their at the shop. I suggest maybe you ask to take your item to your local Apple Care service center. Applecare is a hardware warranty. Not a hand holding service. You need to register to reap the benefits of Applecare. That is not entirely accurate. Apple Care is a hardware warranty and MORE. I know people who get Apple Care mainly for the phone support and other extras, (I guess this can be considered hand holding.) the extended hardware warranty being a bonus. I will agree that Apple Care ought not be a hand holding service. That is what the many and various Apple and Macintosh User Groups are for. These User Groups are very helpful and are located all over the USA, the world, and the internet. I have read much Apple Care bashing lately and this is completely contrary to and the opposite of my experience with Apple Care. I have always received red carpet treatment from Apple reps and techs. Heck, Apple Care reps even called me after the service to follow up. Now that is a company that cares about it's products, service, and customers. Maybe they are getting too busy. Yet, I suspect it is a new breed of Mac users (switchers) who have unrealistic expectations and don't know how to behave properly (i.e. play nice with others). I imagine that once an Apple Care rep has dealt with 3, 4, 5, or more of these people demanding this and that and that their wishes be met, well, that rep's day is ruined and probably has a sour attitude. I can sympathize with that. Then you get on the phone, wrongly thinking, If I tear into this person, they'll be so scared and upset, they'll just give me what I want. Yet, you are the umpteenth person like that they've dealt with that day and don't want to take it anymore, so they get defensive (natural human response) and tell you were to take it or shove it, as the case may be. Anger is upsetting and makes people want to get away from you. Nice and pleasant makes people want to help you. For example, Hi, how are you today? How has your day been? One of those days, huh? Yeah, I know what you mean, I've been there, and I feel for you. Well, here is why I am calling today. I need you help. This is my situation. This is what I want. Is there anyway you can help me and we can make this happen?, usually gets me better results than, Yo, ya f*^*king bi*^ch, get me my sh*t! Now I am exaggerating to emphasis the concept and to make a point. The point is the concept of friendliness and understanding to get the results you want. One must also understand that often these reps are paper pushers and all they can do is tell you the status of your work order, they have no control or power to change the time/space continuum in order to facilitate an instantaneous repair of your product and have it miraculously appear in front of you while you are talking to them of the phone. Only you can change the world, by changing yourself first. Also, here is another example of the superb service I have received from Apple. A friend's iPod was behaving strangely, so she asked me to take a look at it. I could not solve the issue, so, during my lunch hour, I took my friends' iPod to an Apple Store to have an Apple Genius take a look. I did not expect them to find anything because I consider myself more technically proficient than those working at Apple Stores, however I did not go in there with that attitude or with a chip on my shoulder, nor did I expect every employee in the place to stop what they were doing and pay attention to me and my problem. I have seen those attitudes many times. I explained the problem politely to the Apple store employee and he took a look at the iPod for a couple minutes. I guess he determined the problem was not repairable because he went and got another new iPod, handed it to me, thanked me for coming in, and wished me a nice day. That was that, short, simple and sweet. No Apple Care, no receipt, and it wasn't even my iPod. I suspect for every one person bashing Apple Care on these forums, there must be thousands who are receiving the excellent and superior service Apple has a well earned reputation for. I suspect much of that hate is those persons own attitude of dissatisfaction and impatience with themselves, having not met their own unrealistic expectations of themselves and taking that hate out upon others. This forum being an opportunity to manifest their insecurities and paranoia. Dylan Moore wrote a very good response and hit the nail on the head about these people's attitude with these comments... my suggestion
Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
* Regarding Apple Care and users' attitudes * Hello and Happy New Year! I have just come across this list and this is a very informative and enjoyable group especially for Macintosh users and enthusiasts. I just read various comments from people about Apple Care, how long service should take, the quality of service, and whether to purchase the insurance or not. I would like to address all those concerns by responding about my experiences with Apple Care in this letter. First of all I am an avid Mac user and enthusiast. I am in no way associated with Apple or Apple Care except as an end-user (customer) and consumer of Apple products. I have been using Apple products since the early 1980s with the Apple II series. I have also used nearly every computing platform and OS from mainframe to micro of the past 25 years, way too many to even begin to list. I have been using the Mac since the first Macintosh model (128k). The Mac has been my personal computing platform of choice ever since. That first Mac cost over $2,000 when it was introduced, just to put things in perspective. (Remember the Mac IIfx had a $10,000 price tag! Thanks Jean-Louis (Greedy) Gassée.) I have owned many of the various models of Mac produced over the years and still have several. I have had excellent experiences with Apple, Apple Care, and my Macs with very few break downs: THREE total on three different machines over the past TWENTY years! Some of my Macs have taken severe abuse and never even hiccuped. The Macintosh System OS rarely ever freezes and has NEVER crashed! In all that time and of all the Macs, I have chosen to purchase Apple Care only twice. Strangely, or serendipitously, those were two of the three machines that had problems. I choose not to purchase additional warranty because I feel confident about Apple's products and my ability to fix anything that does break down. Getting replacement parts has always been easy and inexpensive, and installing parts is very easy on a Mac, plus I like to tinker and upgrade, so I choose not to spend the extra money on warranty insurance. Of the three Macs that have had a problem, the one Mac I did not purchase Apple Care for was a Mac IIci which I still have. One morning, over ten years ago now, I turned on the power and the internal hard drive was screeching. I was able to recover the data by booting from an external hard drive. (Always back up your data!) The IIci is a wonderful machine, after powering down, I just lifted the lid, removed the bad drive and replaced it with a new one I purchased at my local computer store. I have never had another problem with that IIci and that same drive is still working today. On to the Macs I did purchase Apple Care for and how to effectively deal with Apple Care reps. The first time I purchased Apple Care was for the second Mac I bought, a 512k, in winter 1984/1985. This Mac was about $600 less than the previous one and this was the first I had heard of Apple Care, so I went ahead and purchased it. I am very glad I did, because I ended up with a completely upgraded Mac. At some point, the 400k internal floppy drive gave out, which rendered the Mac useless, no hard drives yet. I did have an external 800k floppy drive but the Mac 512k could not boot from that (the 512kE could, each early model revision had a new ROM chip set). I took the Mac to the Apple Care repair facility, no phone call center yet. Now, here is the important part and a lesson that took me years to learn: People do not like to be told how to do their job, no matter how new or incompetent they are at it. I probably know more about how to get around inside a computer, diagnose, and repair it than any rep or tech that has work on any of my Macs, however I have learned that it pays to act uninformed, not dumb, just uninformed, let them think they know. So, I know what is wrong and I am trying to explain it to the clueless rep, who eventually just writes up a repair order and says someone will get back to me with an estimate. An estimate??? I have Apple Care! Anyway, several days later I receive a call that my Mac is ready. I go to pick it up and I notice my Mac looks different. I ask the clerk/rep if this is indeed my Mac and it is. So I ask what was done. Well, there were no more 400k floppy drives, so they put in an 800k, which needed a new ROM set, which required a new motherboard, which required a different case back. Hmm, I quickly realize what I have, so I sign the repair order and take my new Mac Plus home! Whoo-hoo! Thanks Apple Care! So I am glad that 400k floppy drive died, because I ended up with a floppy drive upgrade, a ROM and motherboard upgrade, a RAM upgrade, a SCSI upgrade, and a case upgrade. The only original parts left on that Mac were the CRT and the front bezel/case. The other Mac I purchased Apple Care for was a Power Mac 9600/350, which I bought reconditioned from Apple in 1998.
Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
Well Spoken. I'll leave it at that. Peace. Aaron The reason I came to this site is I am going to hot-rod these machines. Why? For the same reason someone hot-rods cars, because I want to. I don't want to buy a new Porshe, I want to hot-rod my old Corvette. Yes, they are out-dated, yes, there are better and faster, yet I am a tinker and I like to have fun! Cheers! Have a great year!

Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 11:43:25 +0100 let me start out by saying that i completely understand your frustration, I think that apple is changing from the company I knew and loved a decade ago-- but then again, that's because they're moving to the mass market. Weren't they more in the mass market 10 years ago than today? No, I don't think so. Once Apple lost it's dominant market share under Sculley's tenure, seems to me Apple focused on selling continuously upgraded machines to it's loyal customer base. Apple became so focused on frequent machine upgrades that System software development suffered greatly. Apple definitely changed from small market focus to mass market focus with the introduction of the first iMac. Any time a computer company has to put a warning on their website stating that users should not eat their product, such as the ipod shuffle, you know that they've started to market their products to a population that is a little less than technically inclined. Am I the only one who think it's a joke...? Yes, that is definitely Apple's sense of humor and meant as a joke. But, still, one should not eat an iPod shuffle. -- Will they cover a cup of java sloshed into the keyboard? No, that was your fault for not remembering middle school science, and thinking that liquid and electronics go hand in hand. -- Will they cover a laptop that's been dropped out of a moving car? Well, you can always try, but my guess is that kyle and his ilk will probably frown and ask again how it happened, just to hear it one more time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these two cases should be covered by a regular insurance (from your local insurance company), which costs a fraction of price of AppleCare. Marcin, you are absolutely correct on this one. All my computers are covered under my auto, homeowner's, or rental insurance, as the case may be. And it is much cheaper than Apple Care.

Re: what is wrong with this PB ????
Okay, I am hoping somebody here might be able to suggest a solution for me regarding my 15 1.25 Gig Al PB. I bought it Dec 2003 so it is just over a year old. For the past couple of weeks it has been a real pain in the neck to work on. Safari will open but there will be no data at all in the window and no way of typing in the website address in the bar. It just doesn't respond to anything. I try to quit it and it will not quit. The blank window closes but the triangle remains under the icon in the dock. Photoshop works for awhile, then quits suddenly, as does the Epson scanner, iTunes, Entourage, Roxio toast etc. So I decide to get some recent, important data burnt to DVD for back up but find that the Superdrive will not recognize any of the disks. Yes, they are brand new, DVD-R disks. I tried more than 10 of them from 3 different boxes. It cannot read the volume or whatever - I can't remember the error message but it won't let me use any of them. I have talked to Apple care after doing an archive and install (I did two archives and installs - one with and one without preserving system preferences). Also checked Disk Utility with the Install CD..it finds no problems on the Mac HD. Neither does Diskwarrior. Any suggestions would be VERY much appreciated.

I hate getting into the middle of this kind of problem because so many times the more the user fumbles around (and is told to fumble around through technical support) the more messed up the computer can become. I hate the way tech support has devolved into a minimum wage drone reading prompts from a screen. The first thing I'm going to suggest is creating a new account (an admin account) and see what happens. Configure it for internet and see if you can get online. I expect this will solve nothing but hey, lets see. If the computer does work properly then we can talk about transferring data to the new account. To repeat, I don't expect this to be a successful operation but I never pass up the opportunity to try the easy fix. The next solution would have been an archive and install which you have already done so we are gonna bypass this and go right to formatting the drive and reinstalling everything fresh. WAIT! Your data. The DVD drive not working is a problem but it could be a software issue that resolves itself once you reinstall the OS. Does the CD burner work? Do you have .mac account? Have an external hard drive? Access to a network? An iPod? External drives are getting really low-priced right now and make a great backup solution. If erasing the drive and reinstalling doesn't work I'd start thinking about RAM or the possibility that your computer is channeling Drew Barrymore. But I really suspect formatting the drive and reinstalling the OS will solve the problem. And if you can afford it get an external hard drive and do weekly backups.

The java problem causes many problems for Safari and other applications that use java applets. Your mac may be one of the models with memory slot problems. One slot suddenly refuses to see the ram installed. Check with system profiler to see if all you ram is identified. I assume you ran both verify permissions and verify disk in disk utility.

Dylan Moore makes very good points and comments without attacking you or anyone. Also, Dylan Moore's use of English is correct and standard. While you are the one making comments such as the one above. I do not lie, it's easier to remeber what you said and a moral line I do not cross. Just me. This I certainly admire and believe to be a moral attribute of the highest order. I commend you on this positive life choice. I also made this choice for myself long ago, as it is better and easier to remember the truth than a lie, and it is better and easier to hurt and heal from the truth than from a lie. Personally, this is why I choose Apple (Steve Jobs' company) over Microsoft (Bill Gates' company). Apple is infinitely more honest and trustworthy than Microsoft. Both are businesses intent on making money, yet Apple cares about it's products, employees, and customers, while Microsoft seems to have no standards, morals, or ethics about how they do business or who they hurt in the process. Most corporations monitor the internet for sites that relate anything to them. Either through their own security or outside companies. Get too far into the real stuff and they will bight. In fact Apple just sued some site for releasing information prior to their last Mac Fest. That site officially published and publicly presented secret information that it had no right to do so on its front page, similar to a newspaper or magazine, big difference from discussion groups. That same information had been rumoured, discussed and tossed around in forums, lists, and discussion groups for months prior, yet none of those groups were shut down. Apple or any other company just doesn't have the resources to patrol or even roam the millions of various discussion groups on the internet. And ultimately, why would they? Most of the time it is pointless for them. Do you think Apple is concerned about what I am writing to you in this list right now? Come on now, let's be realistic.

Re: what is wrong with this PB ????
Before you go any further, back up. If your DVD burner isn't working, try a FireWire hard drive or another Mac (connected via FireWire or Ethernet). If the problem has survived two archive and installs, either it's fairly serious, or it's a consequence of something that isn't affected by an archive and install -- so prepare for the worst. It may help the troubleshooting process if you open /Applications/Utilities/Console, and post the logs you get when applications crash, or Safari hangs. If there's something consistent in all applications, the crash logs can point to where the root cause is. The main system log will be displayed when you open Console; to access each application's crash log, click the Logs button in the toolbar, then the disclosure arrow next to ~/Library/Logs, then the arrow next to CrashReporter -- it'll be clear which logs are for which applications.

It cannot read the volume or whatever - I can't remember the error message but it won't let me use any of them.

I will just keep paying to get the stuff I need, keeps the guy happy and sure he need the bread. Sorry, but I can't stand it anymore. Geoff, no need to repeat your point in 10 emails in a row. We all got it the first time. And -- this is by no means trying to insinuate anything or comparing situations directly -- your But if 4K can't get me a simple CD that I am willing to pay for, I am going to dump 5 to 10 attitude reminds me of what many people caught shoplifting say, with all sincerity: I've been buying in this store constantly for 10 last years, so I figured I am entitled to steal something on the side. They're not, and you're not either. You plunked 4 thousands, you got your computer. That's it. While I sympathize if the AppleCare people were not friendly, no one ever promised you a simple CD. And it might not be as simple as it seems -- imagine how many people probably ask for this on daily basis.

Wallstreet Hard Drive Recommendations
I have a Wallstreet II/300 with 196MB RAM. Recently obtained a retail install set for Jaguar and would like to give it a try. So far the highest I have gone on any of my machines is OS 9.2.2. The original disk is only 2gb so it barely meets minimum for older OS and applications. I have heard that IBM/Hitachi drives should be compatible, but they don't seem to the most available. I have seem some in the 40-60gb range for $80-120 on ebay, supposedly new and have thought of getting one. Before laying out $$, does anyone here have recommendations?

Re: Wallstreet Hard Drive Recommendations
From what I've heard, ATA-6 (aka ATA/100) or later drives are not compatible with the Wallstreet. You'll need an ATA-5 drive, which limits things a bit -- I'd go for a relatively low-capacity drive (say 40GB) at 5400rpm, preferably with an 8MB buffer. A large buffer is good, because it reduces the amount of mechanical work a drive has to do, so you'll get higher access speeds and a longer battery life, and a 5400rpm drive is good (even though it reduces battery life) because it is noticeably faster than the 4200rpm drives that come standard with most laptops. Due to the age of the machine, you probably won't be using it for video editing, gaming, or anything else that's too space-hungry (unless you have a large music collection), so the 40GB should be ample.

That site officially published and publicly presented secret information that it had no right to do so on its front page, similar to a newspaper or magazine, big difference from discussion groups. That same information had been rumoured, discussed and tossed around in forums, lists, and discussion groups for months prior, yet none of those groups were shut down. Apple or any other company just doesn't have the resources to patrol or even roam the millions of various discussion groups on the internet. And ultimately, why would they? Most of the time it is pointless for them. Do you think Apple is concerned about what I am writing to you in this list right now? Come on now, let's be realistic.

Go to the iPod preferences. Click the General tab. Then, enable the Enable disk use checkbox. Your iPod should now appear on your desktop and you can just use it as an external hard drive. If after turning on the Enable for disk use checkbox, the iPod doesn't show up, unmount it from iTunes. Once it disappears from the iTunes list, quit iTunes, unplug your iPod and plug it back. It should then appear on the desktop. You can copy any file to the iPod that you can copy to an external hard drive. You still have 40GB to backup, after what you already backed up? Did you try to completely archive the system disk? -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gates's Law: The speed of software halves every 18 months.

Configure it for internet and see if you can get online. I expect this will solve nothing but hey, lets see. Thanks for replying !! I did try this before calling AppleCare as I know it is the first thing they ask with stuff like this. Unfortunately, same problems occurred in the new user account. The next solution would have been an archive and install which you have already done so we are gonna bypass this and go right to formatting the drive and reinstalling everything fresh. They did suggest the erase and install but of course I am trying to back up the remainder of the drive. In fact, it wasn't until they suggested this that I realized the drive was not working properly. I have considered the suggestions you made - i.e. External hard drive, .Mac account etc. I don't have the money for either .Mac or another hard drive.

I didn't even consider that as an option. I have a 3 gen, 20 gig ipod with about 16 gigs of space left. If erasing the drive and reinstalling doesn't work I'd start thinking about RAM or the possibility that your computer is channeling Drew Barrymore. But I really suspect formatting the drive and reinstalling the OS will solve the problem. And if you can afford it get an external hard drive and do weekly backups. Just a suggestion from someone who once lost everything when his computer decided to attempt throwing itself from a moving car. Thanks David for all your suggestions !! I know that I will have try erase and install. AppleCare is prepared to replace the disk drive which is now appearing to sort of work but not with any degree of consistency. It keeps spitting out disks mid-burn, or still does not recognize some of them at all. Arrgh...sorry to hear about your PB mishap ! Amber The iPod will hold any type of data from your computer. Transfer away! Do you have another computer? Start the PB as a firewire drive, T key held down. Extract the data and burn it to DVD off the other computer. Toast 6 should allow you to use the superdrive on the PB to burn your DVDs if needed. The PB's Superdrive should show as a supported firewire burner.

You can continue to argue if you want but do it off-list. Your thank you as a punctuation on this thread enrages me. Not very many people (if anyone) agreed with you and here you send a thank you as if you were right and justified in your statements?

Re: what is wrong with this PB ????
Amber, Have you done the usual resets, PMU, PRAM, etc? How much RAM does the PB have? Has the Hard Drive recently become filled near full capacity? Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 16:40:33 -0800 From: Amber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: what is wrong with this PB In-reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Okay, I am hoping somebody here might be able to suggest a solution for me regarding my 15 1.25 Gig Al PB. I bought it Dec 2003 so it is just over a year old. For the past couple of weeks it has been a real pain in the neck to work on. Safari will open but there will be no data at all in the window and no way of typing in the website address in the bar. It just doesn't respond to anything. I try to quit it and it will not quit. The blank window closes but the triangle remains under the icon in the dock. Photoshop works for awhile, then quits suddenly, as does the Epson scanner, iTunes, Entourage, Roxio toast etc. So I decide to get some recent, important data burnt to DVD for back up but find that the Superdrive will not recognize any of the disks. Yes, they are brand new, DVD-R disks. I tried more than 10 of them from 3 different boxes. It cannot read the volume or whatever - I can't remember the error message but it won't let me use any of them. I have talked to Apple care after doing an archive and install (I did two archives and installs - one with and one without preserving system preferences). Also checked Disk Utility with the Install CD..it finds no problems on the Mac HD. Neither does Diskwarrior. Any suggestions would be VERY much appreciated.

web page capture
I know this is a little off-topic, but I don't know how to research this. I would like to copy an ebay listing, sort of like a screen capture, but I want to be able to view the whole length of the page as well as the photos. I know that ebay listings are removed after so many days, and I want to be able to save the page. This auction has lots of info and photos of a suburban I purchased, and I'll like to archive it. Is there a way to do that? Back in the day when every on-line minute counted, I seem to have heard of a way to download a website for later off-line viewing.

Re: web page capture
Try printing the page in Safari, but instead of hitting Print..., click Save as PDF You should get a complete listing, with all images etc. Cheers, Ben On 26 Jan 2005, at 17:42, Claire Hart wrote: I know this is a little off-topic, but I don't know how to research this.
