This sounds a little bit like dirty or bad contacts. You would have to take
the Wallstreet apart to get to the DC charge board, I think, just underneath
the palm rest. It might also be the Power Management Unit. And, it looks
like you PRAM battery is dead or is not charging.

Issue with G3 Wallstreet

[Nima]

I have this G3 Wallstreet with battery issues. The battery is not dead 
because I got a brand new one and a separate charger--I can charge the 
battery and see the machine recognize it and use the charge, but it 
won't recharge the battery.

When I turn off the computer, it remembers all the settings and what 
not, so long as either it is plugged in or a charged battery is 
installed. Otherwise, it is as if I have reset the PRAM.

Anyone know what part I need to change to solve the problem? Thanks!

Cliff & Kristina,
It sounds like Cliff's ISP uses the Motorola Canopy WiMax system. I 
just signed up with a local ISP that is fielding it here in my area 
of California; the install is in a couple of weeks. When they were 
testing to see the signal strength, the connection speed was around 
450 Kbps, IIRC, much better than my 28.8 Kbps connection on dial-up, 
and this was 13.8 miles from their access point on Boomer Mountain.

Cliff, does anything on this site look familiar?

Yeah, I tried all that and more. I am going to call the seller and see
if there is anything he can do. I've pretty much resolved to get a
combo drive replacement. Thanks though. I hope the combo drive in my
G4 Ti 667 does not have the same problems.

Thanks for your help everyone. I think getting a new drive will be the
cheapest least frustrating solution.

Re: Pismo DVD

[John Roberts]

The later model G3 books and earlier model G4 books are notorious for 
not mounting CD/DVDs. I have the first G4, ("Mercury"), and I'm 
currently on my third drive. The consensus in the discussion forums on 
Apple's website is that there is an OS or firmware problem in the 
computers. People have been yelling at Apple about this for years.

Try resetting the computer, with power off, by pushing that little 
button on the back edge. If that fails, try resetting parameter RAM, 
which I forget how to do.

Re: Recording records/tapes

Chris,

I don't know know what kind of a budget you have, but I'm working on a big
project right now, where I'm digitalizing hundreds of 12" singles, and DJ
Cassette Mix tapes. I set up a G5 with Bias Peak, SoundSoap Pro, Roxio Toast
and Jam. I use Peak Peak or CD Spin Doctor to record from my Mixer Board. I
then use Peak and SoundSoap Pro to clean up the audio. From there I use Jam
to master the CD's. This is on the high end of what your probably looking
for, so other people on the list I'm sure will have a cheaper solution.

Re: Recording records/tapes

[Keith Johnson]

Hector brings up a good point. I haven't used audacity, but Sound 
Studio allows you to go back and try to tune up the sound files with 
equalizers, filters, etc. You can also do stuff like reverse the file 
(listen to those Beatle songs and hear John say "turn me on, dead 
man").

CD Spin Doctor has a good pop/click filter if you record 78s (like I 
do). It came with Toast, but it was real buggy and the upgrade wasn't 
free, so I stopped using it. If what Hector says (it's free) is 
correct, I'll have to try it again.

Re: Recording records/tapes

[Hector I . Macedo]

Hi Chris,  I have recorded my old LPs by using Griffin Technology's 
"iMic" and Audacity or Sound Studio,which permit you to filter 
extraneous noice and other filters.  You could also use any other music 
program like Final Vinyl or CD Spin Doctor (this last two are free)  
but with less controls.
I will start transfering my tapes pretty soon.

You will also  need an adaptor from the record player or tape player 
Victor plugs to the 1/8 stereo in the iMic.

For Mac OS X, there is also the free Audacity which does a decent job.

I use Sound Studio . It's 
very easy to use, and if you record an album side, it's easy to split 
the recording up (find the start and end points for the song, then 
"save as"). The resulting file is an aiff file, which will be quite 
large, but you can them reduce that to mp3 or AAC. If you use iTunes, 
import the aiff file, then select it and use the "convert to AAC" menu 
to reduce the file size.

Griffin's iMic is an easy way to get your stereo's line input to into 
your mac.  Recording through USB is supposed to be superior than the 
built-in sound input on your Mac.

If you're recording from vinyl, you'll need to pass through the preamp 
part of your receiver or amplifier. The easiest way to do this is by 
connecting cables from the tape output of your receiver or amp.

This is a pretty inexpensive way to import your tapes and vinyl 
collection. It's time-consuming, because you have to do it at real 
time. No quick ripping an MP3 file here!

If you need any help, keep asking!
Cheers,
Keith Johnson

Re: Source for Wallstreet battery?

[Kenneth Vann]

I had problems getting a battery that worked well, but that problem has
been solved.

I have gotten good bateries from APC (it took three times) and from
http://www.eagleimports.com (it took two times, but the problem was
compunded by problems with there phone,and internet provider (Quest
Telephone)).

Eagle imports is on ebay with better prices than from there web site.

I will buy from both again.

I am satified with both batteries.

Do you need a PRAM battery?
