Missing messages

I sent two messages to this list yesterday, but neither have shown 
up. I received other messages posted to the list, however. Could 
someone tell me if my iBook question made it through? Perhaps it was 
censored because it wasn't a PowerBook question?

iBook won't boot up from CD + more info

2005-03-23 Thread Dennis B. Swaney
Sorry for top posting but I STILL haven't received the messages I 
sent last night, nor, if any, replies. IF anyone gets this, could you 
reply directly?

I was able to get the iBook to boot up using my OS 10.3 install disk 
and my Tech Tool Pro 4.01 disk. However, it won't boot up with the 
Tech Tool Pro 3.01 disk. Since the two former disks are OS 10 boot 
disks and the latter is an OS 9 boot disk, is it possible that this 
iBook can't boot into OS 9? I thought that all 2001 Macs could still 
boot up into OS 9.

I went to Apple's website and tried to get info on the iBook but 
Apple said that the model number M6497 can't be found. I read the 
specification sheet on the early 2001 iBook but it used a model 
number M7...


ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
I was given an iBook (M6497, 2001) and am trying to get it to boot up 
into OS 9. The person who gave it to me started to install OS 10 but 
never finished the installation, so the iBook boots up into OS 10 but 
before getting to where I can access the Startup Disk Control Panel, 
launches into the continue installtion mode. I tried to boot up from 
my Tech Tool Pro 3 disk by holding down the C key but it just 
booted from the hard drive (This may be due to the type of CD drive; 
my Bondi Rev B has never booted from a CD using the 
hold-down-the-C-key)

What is the other key to use to choose a startup disk?
I'm resending this with the model and year from the bottom of the 
iBook sine the first message hasn't showed up after 45 minutes

Re: power adapter repairs

2005-03-23 Thread Dennis Reeder
The yo-yo for my Pismo was starting to look dangerous.  So in a 
pre-emptive strike I wound about 7-8 inches of the cord back into the 
yo-yo and then filled it up with clear bead of silicon squeezed out of 
a tube.  Not pretty to look at but it works and is safe.

Subject: Re: repair Wallstreet power adapter
I've tried it.  It is a pain in the neck, and probably not worth
spending time on.  The yo-yo's are difficult (not impossible) to get
apart, and as the usual issue is the cord, you probably won't get
anywhere with repair attempts.

Ok, I was finally able to get it to boot with an external Firewire 
drive running 10.2.6.

Apple System Profiler gave me the following information:
500 MHz G3
128 MB RAM
9.36 GB HD
CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
Machine model: iBook (version = 22.15)
Sales Order # M8520LL/A
I then tried to boot with a 9.1 install CD, it started and then 
bombed saying to restart with extensions off. When I did, it bombed 
again.

I next tried a 9.2.1 install CD. Again, it bombed saying to start 
with extensions off. When I did, it finally booted up. I then ran 
Disk First Aid and it said the hard drive appeared to be ok.

So, I've determined that the iBook is an iBook 22.15, a 
top-of-the-line Dual-USB. After the battery charges, I will see about 
wiping the hard drive and installing OS 9.2.1. The hard drive and RAM 
are too low to install 10 AND expect good performance. If I decide to 
do more, I'll have to take it to an Apple Store and have the RAM 
maxed out plus a larger HD put in it.
