Re: Slightly OT 802.11 question
Hi what book is it going into? because you can strip down the orinoco cards. my i book has an orinoco card with the black end cap removed. I removed the ibook airport card retaining clip and put a piece of electrical tape on the under side of the keyboard where the card touches, also on the metal base under the keyboard. placed the card in and it sits on the shelf part of the book nicely, connected up the antenna the put back the keyboard. you get a very slight rise in the center of the keyboard, but it does not touch the screen when closed and you need to keep the center locking catch for the keyboard locked to hold it in. It has worked fine since i done it in November last year no problems and i never turn the ibook off (just to sleep). and i use the airport software under X to run it. vicki. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Headsets
This seems a silly thing for Apple to skimp on. The mechanism is already there for the built-in mic. Seems like it would be simple to make it work for a plug-in mic. In fact, the built-in mic is nearly useless anyway. It just picks up the noise of the computer. It would make more sense to leave it out and include an external mic as standard equipment. I agree. The device suggested seems to be a good one, but I wonder about an alternative. Would a bluetooth headset work by itself, without need for a device such as iMic? I have no direct experience, but I have read reports of people for whom that works - i.e. the bluetooth headset appears as an option for both input and output in the sound system preferences and can be used for, say, ichat or skype (or even inputting sound for iMovie); and people that say it does not work for them. My take is that some bluetooth adapters are more compatible than others (and the same is probably true for the headsets). The best option, if available, would be to try before you buy. I, for one, am very pleased with bluetooth functionality (using a cheapish Anycom adapter in my TiBook), but I don't have a headset, so I can't try that.

Re: New laptop possibility
I've never really used OS 9 since I switched in 2001 back when 10.1 was just released. My first Mac was a G4 867 tower and it booted into OS 9 but I wanted to see what OS X was all about to I restarted it and never went back. All of the software that I've purchased has been for OS X. My desktop is a 20 inch G5 iMacI think I told you and I only use OS X on itnever run classic and don't have classic installed on either. When I bought the iBook, I knew that 256 wasn't enough, so I bought an additional 512it was a bit of a challenge installing it as you need a 'tiny' screwdriver to do ithad to go out and buy one. But once I got it, it was easy. Yes, I knew that there was an OS 9 (classic) install on the other disk. My other OS 9 installation disks are for G4's and say so on the disk. So, I don't think you could use them to install on anything else. Since switching from PC, I have become a true Mac Addict! Take care, Tim On 3/13/05 7:22 PM, diane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Tim! The scary thing is that I was using a borrowed XP laptop on the couch, and more than the G4 MDD.

Worst case I keep the 6500 which isn't worth much on the open market anyway! Right now the book is a bit slower at only 256mb. When will Apple put real ram in their machines? sigh I upgraded the desktop to 1gb right off the bat. I have 2 iPods compliments of my SO. The 5gb 1G when it first came out, and then xmas 03 for some reason he decided I needed a bigger one so he got me the 40gb 3G. I hadn't even filled the 5gb yet. Anyway, I do take them out blading, biking, running etc and even in the car, depending on where I go, I'm a nervous wreck with them. I think the Shuffle will put my mind at ease some. If he had bought it for me without the 'book, I know I'd have the bigger one but honestly neither of us will use it for more than 8 hours at a stretch! I did find the 9.2 install on the cd's with the iBook. It's on the repair cd, under install additional software. How odd is that, you'd never find it unless you looked. Are your cd's like that or are they complete 9.2 cd's? You may be able to twist my arm if that's the case, esp if I need to keep the 6500.

Only 256 Meg of 512 Meg RAM is recognized
Went out yesterday to BEST BUY looking for a 1 Gig Memory SO-DIMM for my; 12 PowerBook G4 867 MHz It requires a 266 MHz 200 pin SO-DIMM DDR memory chip. I found a 512 Meg stick and was informed the 1 Gig chips don't exist. So much for the Geek SQUAD, should be Geek Squids. Well the factory 256 Meg is just not cutting it and I opted for a 512 Meg Card, I picked up a K-Byte Memory Chip - 2100/2700 512 Meg DDR SO-DIMM chip for my powerbook. The power book only sees 256 Meg of the 512 chip for a grand total of 384 Meg. Good thing I picked it up at a local best buy to return it hassle free. Anyone else have this problem? I had a similar problem with single sided 256 PC133 SIMMS on my PeeCee. Any Suggestions? I would like to buy the memory local, it is better to spend a little extra and have the ability to test and return the RAM if there is a problem.

Re: Only 256 Meg of 512 Meg RAM is recognized
I have purchased 512 MB chip for 1GHz PowerBook 12'' on the web. The chip that arrived in 2 days was bad so I sent it back and it took abour 10 days to get a replacement that works fine. It is not the highest speed, but reasonable enough to get what you want for reasonable money. The handlig by the zipzoomfly.com was very good. No hold-ups on their side - it took them 24 hours to respond to the RMA and then it was only a matter of shipping the chip back to them and waiting for the new one to arrive. You may try CompUSA if there is one close by or MicroCenter - they also have Macs on display and could advise you which memory works best. I myself got the Kingston Value RAM and I'm happy with it.

Kernel Panic
My first time having to deal with this, I'd love some assistance. I have an old 466MHz SE Graphite iBook (the clamshell one). I had 10.1.5 up on the machine and yesterday tried to upgrade to 10.2. The upgrade went through well apparently until time to reboot. Now it kernel panics. Following Apple's documentation, I've reset NVRAM PRAM and tried to boot from the Mac OS X.2 install disc. When this happens, it boots to the gray apple, then I get video problems (once an overly bright screen wash, once lots of verticle gray lines) and a freeze. A soft restart is possible (Apple-ctrl-Power), so I've not reset the PMU. I've tried to boot from a stray OS 9 boot disc (from my PowerMac g4, BTW). This time I only see a blank gray screen -- no happy Mac. Again a freeze/restart. Lastly I've tried booting from the old X.1 upgrade disc: I get the happy Mac, spinning beach ball, then Unresolved kernel trap. And the X.0.3 install disc: the same except this message instead: The Installer has unexpectedly quit. (error 0) Press Return to restart which fails to restart, then messages kmod_destroy: etc. etc. Freeze/restart. Any ideas? I'm out of 'em. Should I pull the hard drive? Thank you for your help!

On Mar 14, 2005, at 12:55 PM, Junk wrote: Anyone mind if I ask an insanely simple question? That I can't figure out and it's making me nuts? I'd like for when my PB boots up, in the login window to have my users listed but also the other window that allows mw to log in as root. for the life of me i can't remember how to do this. i set a master pass for the machine, and went into net info manager and authenticated, but all that shows up in my login window is a list of users. i'm on 10.3.8 thanks in advance :) In the accounts pref pane change it from Display Login Window as a List of users to Name and Password. I'd also reiterate that is is a BAD IDEA. Running as root in the OS X GUI causes a variety of things to break, since the system operates under the presumption that root is a non-login account, and there's nothing you can do as root in a terminal window that 'sudo -s' doesn't let you do, afaik. (sudo -s gets you a shell as root. very useful command.) Allowing a root login opens you up somewhat to attack, to no good reason. I don't advocate it for any unix installation. On our servers root can log in directly on the console, and that's it; those are behind a locked door. For any other usage you have to connect as a user and then su to root, and if I have my way on our new ones, we'll have to use sudo instead of su, as that's logged and su isn't.

Re: Only 256 Meg of 512 Meg RAM is recognized
Yes, I know you can get RAM for much less and in the past, I have purchased it from other sources but rarely had a good experience. I can afford it.so I buy it. Fact of life. Tim Upon reveiwing my email at 3/14/05 11:19 AM, I found the following message from Jan Musil, whose email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tim, do you realize how much is a bit more? Apple is known for overcharging customers for memory. You can get the same memory from other dealers for 2/3 to 1/2 of the price Apple charges you.

anyone familiar with this problem?
Hi all I'm a newbie to the list, so please forgive me if I breach protocol in any way! I've used Macs for years, but this is my first G3. And I've just run up against a big problem, one that I've never encountered before, and which prevents me using it at all. I'll try and be as clear and concise as possible, and give as many clues as I can: My G3, OS 9.1, which altho not new, is new to me--I've been using it for about a month. Last week when I booted up I noticed that a few dotted lines had strangely appeared on my desktop screen. I went ahead with my project of the evening, anyway, which was to download OutlookExpress506ENU.bin. By the time the download was done, the screen was covered in a rash of dotted lines and the cursor had a shadow that looked a bit like the shape of 2 AA batteries trailing behind it. I was still able to get on the Internet, and the opening page of the website I went to was ok. However, as soon as I began scrolling down--not before I scrolled down--the text and graphics on the page were replaced by a rash of dotted lines making it impossible to continue. It didn't matter which method I used to scroll--dragging the right-hand sidebar down, clicking on the little black down arrow, or using the keyboard arrow--the effect was the same. I noticed that clicking on a part of the page restored that small part of the page to normal. By the time I got back to the desktop, to shut the laptop down, the desktop was extremely distorted and the menu at the top had disappeared. I had to use the keyboard to shut down. That essentially is the problem. Here is some additional information which may or may not be useful: 1. I've had the laptop for 3-4 years without using it--just powering it up from time to time to make sure it hadn't died on me. I only began to seriously get it up and running about a month ago. My brother-in-law (who had kindly given the laptop to me), was worried there might be a PRAM issue when the date went haywire about six weeks ago, ago, but installation of a good battery seemed to solve the problem (so I haven't done anything with the PRAM). 2. I had been successfully word processing. 3. I had been successfully using the Internet, but I needed to upgrade from 4.5 Internet Explorer, which I did, successfully, after downloading Aladdin. 4. I subscribed to the ISP fastermac.net a month or so ago, but realized I needed to upgrade my Outlook Express (altho I can receive email at fastermac.net, I found that I can't send it, until I upgrade from the current Outlook Expres 4.5). 5. The evening I noticed the dotted lines on the screen was the evening I planned to download OutlookExpress506ENU.bin. I did download, but while the download was going on, the screen was becoming covered in dotted lines. I don't think it was the download that caused the problem, since (as I mentioned previously) I had noticed a few stray dotted lines on the screen when I booted up. If anyone is familiar with this scenario and knows what's going on I would really, really appreciate the feedback. Thanks in advance! Kerry M.

Re: Mac OS X utility question, command line answer
OS 9 has the nifty utility Apple System Profiler. Does Mac OS X have something similar? I just found a need for it, but can't find the app... And for folks like me, who can't run the Apple System Profiler because of some font I installed... You can run system_profiler from a command prompt in a terminal window. I have the full developer tools installed, so I'm not sure if they are required for this ability or not. The full path to the system_profiler is /usr/sbin/system_profiler, so anyone without the dev tools can check and see if its there. And this leads to my question... I mentioned a font issue. As I've many fonts installed, and have seen nothing but people's disappointment with OS X font utilities, is there a font utility that works well in OS X and can diagnose font issues in OS X? Two utilities would be ok, one to do fonts ala Adobe Type Manager for OS 9 and a different one for diagnosing fonts would be fine. Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Pink screen
I have a Pismo 500. Everything works just hunk dory. But I occasionally get the 'pink screen'. Starts in the lower left hand corner and in its worse case it stretches up about 2 inches into the screen. Sort of fans out from the corner. Does not matter if the Pismo is running on batteries (a 6600mAh 10.8v Li-Ion) or if it is plugged in. Doesn't matter if its on my desk at home or somewhere else. Does not appear on a fresh start up. Only appears after the Pismo has been awakened from sleep mode. Screen is fine. No missing pixels. I do have a Belkin 54g wireless card inserted into the pc slot. So what's the diagnosis? Will it get worse? Can it be repaired? Expensive? DIY or best left to an Apple tech person? Thanks for your help. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

New Member- iBook clamshell graphite
I just got one off ebay and love the machine. I have ordered one of the original airport cards and do not have a base station. But I do have DSL through the phone company and a wireless gateway that is supposedly compatible with macintosh. My question for now: will I have the ability to get wireless at say the coffee shop with the old airport card? Are there suggestions for a wireless booster that would work to make the iBook useful in any room in my house? I'm sure there will be more questions as I get the airport card and get it installed, which I don't think will be a problem. A.M. Stansbury -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Mac OS X utility question
