Re: How do you create a guest account?
Pacer, Thanks for the advice below, but it didn't work. I've given up calling it Guest and decided to name it Visitor, making the password guest. This worked fine. As far as limiting use, the only thing I'm concerned about others seeing is my home folder, which is inaccessible when logged into a different account. So for now, I've accomplished what I wanted to do; just with a different name. Thank you for taking the time to help, Zoltan P.S. I tried creating it without a password, and Mac OS X allowed this; but not without several warnings. To do this, simply leave the password fields empty. Expect the usual security warnings, but it should work. When it comes time to log in, simply click on the Visitor or Guest name at the login window and it'll automatically log in without a prompt for a password. On Apr 26, 2005, at 8:06 PM, Pacer wrote: Zoltan, I had the same issue you describe here and tried the solutions or queries suggested in this thread but to no avail. I then tried to create a Guest account. I made the name Guest (case-sensitive). I made the simple name Guest (case-sensitive). I then made the password guest (case-sensitive). This worked for me, it might work for you. Keep in mind that you need to supply a password or the system will supply one for you. I used the password as the password hint to simplify the guest sign-on. Also, you will still need to modify and restrict the permissions. I only set it up to use a few games (Chess, Marble Blast) plus FireFox, AppleWorks and TextEdit. Hope this helps. Let me know if it does. I only have one system right now to test on. Cheers, Pacer P.S. I quoted the whole letter because I address the whole letter.

Re: Wallstreet charge probs

If it doesn't, that would indicate to me a problem with the 'Book and not the battery.

Not sure which board you are talking about here. I'd strip the machine, check that all the boards are correctly seated - the Charge Board can become detached from the Power Board. Check also that the EMI shielding near the DC socket isn't shorting to the metal plug. Beyond that, you really need a good machine to test with, other wise you are buying parts at random - there are 5 or 6 boards that could be at fault here. I've several times found a bad Sound Board can stop batteries charging, after that I'd suspect the Charge, PMU, Power in that order, but that's just my experiences. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: replace hard drive in Wallstreet
Ed: Got to: http://www.pbfixit.com/Guide/ It will show you everything in detail ! HD to buy depends on what you want to do ! and what you have presently ! If you have a 6G now, then 20G or 30G will seem huge ! the new and bigger HD are 7200rpm, fun to use with video editing and overall speed of the system ... but on a Wallstreet ? My advice: go for the biggest drive you can afford and feel is enough in the 5400rpm range ... should be more then plenty for this PB.

Re: Wallstreet charge problems
I'm reasonably sure that a *brand new* battery should charge in its intended PowerBook without any major glitches in the process. Your new batteries could be bad. Mine were. I went through two brand new batteries that would not charge. From two different vendors. On my Wallstreet, I have had 3 APC batteries, and 2 from PowerGears.com. All since January of this year. I am now waiting for a RMA from PowerGears to replace it with a third. I have not found any supplier with a battery the same quality as the ones Apple made. And as far as I can tell, Apple does not sell batteries for this computer, unless you are in California. Then they have to sell you one per state law. I am hoping that the batteries from APC are better quality than most replacements. So far, this third one is working great. I have been told, (but not tried one), that the Newer Tech line of batteries are of good quality. The best way I have found to test the battery is to use a second Wallstreet, and if one is not available, to use a VST battery charger. The charger does a self test on the battery, and if their is a problem it flashes its red light. I wish VST had released information on what and how it test, but they have not, so all you can go by is the flashing red light. My expierence is that this charger has been a good way to tell if batteries were good or bad. Apple had a utility called battery reset, which you could use under OS8.6 - 9.x, but it has been my expierence that this utility may not work on all third party batteries. The advice others have given about trying the battery before replacing parts in your Wallstreet is correct. If all else fails, purchase a Apple brand battery used off ebay to compare all other to.

Replace hard drive in Wallstreet
Ed Zelinsky asked: This will be a first for me. Any thoughts on the best hard drive to buy, a reference manual/website for actually doing the work and the same for formatting the drive would be appreciated. Ed, Be aware that our magnanimous sponsor, Low End Mac, warns, According to the Road Warrior and Other World Computing, the drive controller in G3 PowerBooks is incompatible with ATA-6 hard drives. When replacing the internal hard drive, you should be sure to obtain an ATA-5 complaint drive, which supports transfer speeds of up to 100 MB/sec. As for a reference manual, your best bet is to go to: http://www.pbfixit.com/Guide/?p=Wallstreet*00 and check out the Fix It Guide. I've used it a lot. Even better it's free! As to the level of difficulty, it is relatively easy IMHO. Hope this helps.

Will this HD work on a Wallstreet?
Fellow PowerBook-philes, I was wondering if y'all thought this hard drive would work on a PowerBook Wallstreet -- or if anyone had any experiences with this particular drive. (https://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=101223) It is ATA 5, not ATA 6. It seems to have decent power and sound profiles. It seems to fit into the case. It seems to be that this will work. But what something seems does not mean that something truly is. Ugh. Verbs. So what do you think? Another gentleman was wondering about hard-drives, and I am planning on using this one. Any comments or fears? Sincerely, Pacer -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

**NEW** 14 1.33Ghz G4 iBook for Sale
Hi all, I have a brand new iBook for sale. New as in direct factory unit from Apple, just shipped to me from Taiwan, package unopened, and the AppleCare warranty will start the day you get your machine. The reason that I'm selling: This is a replacement unit for an iBook G4 933 which has gone under the knife 3 times. In the upcoming semester, my courses will require a PC laptop, so I have to sell this unit in order to accomodate the course software requirements. The basic specs: 1.33GHz PowerPC G4 512K L2 cache @ 1.33GHz 14-inch TFT Display 1024x768 resolution 512MB DDR266 SDRAM == Upgraded from factory 60GB Ultra ATA drive Combo Drive ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 32MB DDR video memory AirPort Extreme built-in NOT REFURBISHED -- COMPLETELY NEW UNIT This same unit w/ 256M RAM is offered through Amazon at $1299 shipped w/ a $100 rebate, and $1199 + tax ($72 - 110 depending on where you live) through Apple Education. Or $1299 + tax for those who like to shop retail. Cost I will let this unit w/ the 512M RAM go for $1200 shipped w/ full insurance via UPS 3-Day Select. Payment/Transaction details Due to recent mishaps with Paypal, I will no longer be able to accept paypal payments. Thus only good ol' fashion check or money order will be accepted. Since this is a fairly large transaction, I will be open to shipping to an impartial third party to act as an escrow, and I will be willing to split up to half of the associated shipping fees. Local pickup would obviously be best. This unit is located in Troy, NY (upstate near Albany, NY). I will give a shipping discount for local pickups ($1150). Misc This unit is completely new, with the labels still intact, and I have not opened it as such. If you would like me to open to inspect, I can, but only for serious buyers since the warranty will start the day it is opened -- and if this sits here for a week, then the buyer will lose a week of warranty. Obviously, any problems will go through Apple, and I will be happy to assist w/ the process in whatever way I can. Tiger This unit qualifies for a Tiger upgrade. I have ordered the disks (so you don't have to), and I will ship you the new version of OS X once I receive it in a few days for no additional cost!!

Wallstreet Modem Not Recognized
Hello G Books Members. I have some questions. Last week my Wallstreet II would no longer see the internal modem. Cannot select the internal modem with the Modem Control Panel. The Apple System Profile, says no modem installed. I purchased a replacement modem, and installed it. It still wont work. I borrowed a Wallstreet II from a friend, and tested both modems in his laptop. Both work. Well, now I think the problem is in the Logic Board, or what ever part the modem plugs into. Anyone experience this type of problem? If so, how did you fix it? If it is the Logic Board, is it worth replacing, or should I use a PC Card modem? By the way, I am running OS 9.1. The PRAM Battery is dead, so I have to replace that. But I don't think that would cause the problem, would it? All info, appreciated. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Wallstreet saga continues
Think I'm making progress nursing my new-to-me Wallstreet 266 back to health. Visited this link on Steve K's suggestion: http://www.macintouch.com/laptopbatt.html, and the results include: - Booted into Open Firmware and did a reset-nvram return reset-all return. My new battery is now seen by the 'Book (in the right bay at least; no joy in the left). I'm leaving the WS plugged in overnight with the battery installed to see if it charges. - Also reset the PMU (again), just for good measure. - I'm still concerned about the left bay - which is for battery only, not big enough for expansion drives. Can't use two batteries at once, nor battery and expansion drive at the same time. Anyone else seen this kind of thing in their 'Book? Is the power board between the bays the likely culprit here? - Turning off the menu bar battery charge icon in the Date Time control panel in OS 9 seems to be helping - I couldn't boot into Open Firmware with it on. I know that's the oddest sounding fix, but one guy mentioned in the MacInTouch battery discussion that it resolved a charging problem with his iBook. Another issue is 256 MB SO-DIMMs. I bought a two-DIMM set specifically for Wallstreet from Data Memory Systems, and I can't boot with them installed. I get either the breaking glass memory warning sound, or (after zapping PRAM) a crash with System Error - bus error message just after the OS 9.2 splash screen. Disabling extensions doesn't help, can't get past that point. Tried starting up with just the lower 256 installed, same results. Reinstalled the two 64's I replaced and we're back in business.

Backing up
tomorrow I need to turn my iBook in to the Apple store to send in due to a defective LCD (if anyone remembers, I'm the one who in January did without his iBook for an entire month because the repair depot was waiting on a replacement LCD). Needless to say, I am not a happy camper. But I digress. I need to back everything up quick fast and in a hurry. Most of it is done, but I'd like to back up my safari bookmarks (i use safari solely, so no need to back up IE or any other browsers), and I don't know how to back up bookmarks. Could I get some advice please on how to do this? Also, if anyone who has done this before has a backup checklist of things I should back up, I'd be happy to hear it.

Re: **NEW** 14 1.33Ghz G4 iBook for Sale
Sounds like a great reason to find another school. My law school recommends a Dell laptop, but visit any lecture hall and you will see just about everything on the market, including a few iBooks and PowerBooks. My last semester (Spring 04) I sat next to a guy using an old PowerBook 5300ce everyday. I can see an engineering or computer field requiring PC architecture if the required software is PC only and VPC is too slow, but other than that, its none of their business and would be a real deal breaker for me.

Re: **Kind of NEW** PC Rental from Secondary Education
My guess is that Stout get these Compac laptops by the truckload for almost nothing and then rents them for two years to the tune of $2,000, giving the school about a $1,000 profit. My daughter got one of these PC's and it was last years model that I could have purchased outright for $800 or less elsewhere, but even if I did that, she still had to rent the one from the school.

Re: Kind of NEW** PC Rental from Secondary Education
This isn't a recommendation at Stout, you must rent the computer from them and the fee is hidden in your book fees which you have to pay as part of your tuition. The first year they had this policy, they had the laptop fee out in the open as a separate charge, but they got so many complaints, that they hide the fee mow so you just think they really know how to charge for books.

My law school recommends a Dell laptop, but visit any lecture hall and you will see just about everything on the market, including a few iBooks and PowerBooks. My last semester (Spring 04) I sat next to a guy using an old PowerBook 5300ce everyday. I can see an engineering or computer field requiring PC architecture if the required software is PC only and VPC is too slow, but other than that, its none of their business and would be a real deal breaker for me.

Re: **NEW** 14 1.33Ghz G4 iBook for Sale
Yes -- so let's find a nice new home for this iBook! In case anyone is wondering, I am at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. There is actually a decent number of Macs on campus, but I'd primarily need the engineering applications, and VPC is simply way too slow. I would love to keep the iBook, but I can't afford two laptops. You can read about the laptop program here if you'd like: http://www.rpi.edu/laptops/overview.html Simon On 4/28/05, macnifico [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: **NEW** 14 1.33Ghz G4 iBook for Sale Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2005 23:30:15 -0500 Winona State in minnesota has the same system.

Re: New iBook now or wait until after Tiger is launched?
The Tiger update fee is only $9.95 + tax, shipped free, so the wait is marginal.

I understand that OSX Tiger will be released soon. Does that mean that Apple will be upgrading it's iBooks to accommodate the increased memory and CPU requirements of Tiger? Having said all that, should I wait until after Tiger is released to see if Apple bumps up the specs of the iBook? I'm not in a rush - my time frame is about 1 month... Wait the week or so until you can get a Tiger based machine out of the box. Saves you the hassle and small cash outlay of upgrading. There was a roumer awhile back about all systems coming with 512MB of RAM once Tiger shipped. May or may not happen. Since you have a full month, wait. -- Nick http://www.izap.com/~pinnacle therhythmex: AIM, Jabber, and Yahoo Messenger ID Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 [NASB] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
