Re: Network Questions
Hi, Thanks for the help. Still not sure what to do, but to help clarify, my stay will be in Vienna, Au. The apartment owner says: the active connection cable box is in the studio some 30 feet away from the first virtual working desk in the apartment in the living area. Not exactly sure what that means, but maybe someone out there can shed some light. Doesn't sound too promising to me. Maybe I'll have to find another wireless connection, or go the dial up route? Regards, Tom Adams How does he reach from the cable box to the virtual working desk? A long ethernet cable? Or does he have wireless already? Sounds to me that you may get by with a wireless router connected to the cable modem (don't know about Austria, but here in Portugal these go for about 90 euros).

USB Hub killed two Macs... ???
I am sending this question here, even though it relates to a couple of iMacs, as in reality it's USB which is the subject and not iMac. I have just seemingly killed (?) two Bondi iMacs by plugging a powered USB hub in. Prior to using the hub, they both worked fine, now they won't start up at all. I can hear the click of the PSU when I plug in the power cable, but even pressing the button on the front with nothing else plugged in, nothing happens. It's a TopCom USB 2.0 (1.1 compatible) powered hub with 4 ports, so nothing out of the ordinary but I am 100% sure that it was the hub that caused the fault(s). 1. What could have happened to the iMacs ? Can they be fixed ? Any checks to be made ? 2. Is it likely to be a faulty hub, or is there some incompatibility (though there shouldn't be) ?

Re: USB Hub killed two Macs... ???
Did you have the computer on when you plugged it in? Sometimes with powered hubs you are not supposed to plug them in when the computer is on. If it really did fry them, I would call and ask for the company to pay for the damage, because that is unacceptable.

Re: USB Hub killed two Macs... ???
When I worked at a computer store and USB first came out, I was told by an Intel rep that powered hubs should be plugged in when the computer is off. I have followed this info since 1997, and recommend it to anyone who buys a powered hub. Regular USB perhipials are just fine to hot plug.

Re: USB Hub killed two Macs... ???
To the best of my knowledge (and I have studied electronics at Uni for 4 years) a powered hub simply boosts the signal out to the connected devices, and can be used as an unpowered hub with the PSU unplugged. It should not affect the computer end of the hub. Obviously there might be something wrong with the hub, but still odd IMO. I had a small brainwave and I'm going to try pressing the reset button and see if this helps revive the iMacs. Question (I know this is not the iMac list) is the external reset switch (tiny resessed thing by the USB port) the same as the Cuda switch ???

Re: How do current iBooks fare in multimedia apps like iMovie or Garageband?
If you get a G4 powerbook, iMovie and Garageband will fly. Upgrading the HD to a 5400 is fairly simple, but what is even easier is to get an external Firewire drive and use that. This easier, and makes taking data elseware a breeze. Just make sure you have AT LEAST 768 Megs of memory when trying to run iMovie, with a G4 600, increasing the ram from 512 to 768 cut down rendering time by about 1/3rd, because it did not need to use the HD for virtual memory.

When I open internet connect and try reconnecting I get this msg. that says, there was an error joining network home. Or, I'm out of range (not likely as I'm only about 10' away).

UPDATE - USB Hub killed two Macs... ???
Cuda Cuda Cuda!!! http://mrjcd.com/junk/CUDA.jpg Yes, Cuda saves the day!!! Acts as if nothing happened... I will now be testing the hub a bit more in depth as I know it doesn't actually kill the iMac(s), only puts them in a coma... ;o) Larry _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Re: losing internet connection
My first problem is trying to state what's really going on so you can understand. I'm using an indigo ibook along with an airport express; operating on mac os 10.3.8. I initially had some trouble getting the system to work with the airport express, but an apple tech walked me through a set up and had me create a network with a name. call it home for example. Everything was fine for a couple of months. But for the last couple of months I've been losing my internet connection while chatting or whatever. When I open internet connect and try reconnecting I get this msg. that says, there was an error joining network home. Or, I'm out of range (not likely as I'm only about 10' away). The usual fix is restarting the computer. Sometimes this works right away, sometimes it doesn't. Frustrating to say the least. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time! I have the same problem with my AlBook, same OS. Started in about the time I got the latest upgrade (10.3.8).

Re: USB Hub killed two Macs... ???
The CUDA switch does function as a reset switch but they're not the same. The external reset switch just restarts the computer like command-control-power key.

It should not affect the computer end of the hub. Obviously there might be something wrong with the hub, but still odd IMO. I had a small brainwave and I'm going to try pressing the reset button and see if this helps revive the iMacs. Question (I know this is not the iMac list) is the external reset switch (tiny resessed thing by the USB port) the same as the Cuda switch ??? I'm not 100% sure but usually, the reset switch is NOT the CUDA switch. On my PowerMac BW G3, the external reset switch doesn't seem to have anything to do with the CUDA switch which is on the motherboard. However, they could be the same thing. Here is what Apple says about the CUDA chip: The Cuda is a microcontroller chip on the Power Macintosh G4 (PCI Graphics) logic board. and: The function of the Cuda chip is to: ? Turn system power on and off. ? Manage system resets from various commands. ? Maintain parameter RAM (PRAM). ?

Re: FinderPop like utility for OS X
The new trackpads are USB, the old ones were ADB. The two-finger scrolling can actually be enabled on older powerbooks and iBooks, basically any PowerBook G4 and any white iBook or above can do it, with this http://www-users.kawo2.rwth-aachen.de/~razzfazz/ I have this working, it's really cool... You can also rightclick by putting two fingers on the pad, hitting the button and then releasing both.

FinderPop like utility for OS X
Fruitmenu coupled with moveitems X has made for a satisfactory substitute for Finderpop (which substituted for popup folder) F. Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Bruce Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FinderPop like utility for OS X Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:02:57 -0700 Have a brand (new to me) Pismo, first OS X laptop. On my desktops I use my Kensington trackballs that have a button set to control-click, but I am NOT going to lug around a mouse to use with my new laptop. Under OS X there used to be a utility called FinderPop, which among a number of other things, set the contextual menu to pop up when you held the mouse button down qithout moving it for a time. FinderPop was never updated for OS X; does anyone know of anything that does this for OS X? (I don't need contextual navigations of my hard drive, the internet and have a dock/desktop/Finder replacement app, I just want the bleep context menu to pop up. Suggestions?

Are you sure the AirPort card is firmly seated? When I bought my son's iBook, he would get an error joining our network or would get very poor signal on what appeared to be random. I checked the AirPort card myself but it seemed like it was firmly in place. When we brought the iBook to the Apple store, the technician went on the back and came back a few minutes later to report that the card was not properly in place.
