Check to see if the CPU daughtercard is firmly seated in its socket. If it
is, then it is possible that the processor has failed, although that doesn't
happen very often, unless somebody opened the Wallstreet and was not careful
enough.

Dead (ish) Wallstreet help ?

[Kris Tilford]

I've got a Wallstreet given to me that is somewhat dead. It was working 
normally and then one day refused to startup. The power key alone won't 
start it. The reset keys combination Shift-Fn-Ctl-Power will get the 
green light and fan going, but there is no sign of life in the LCD and 
no noise from the HD. The reset keys combo will also shutdown, so 
basically the thing is dead except the reset keys combo will toggle on 
the light & fan. Any ideas?

Since I've got nothing invested I'm game for some inexpensive parts, I 
was thinking about the PMU or the CPU card for starters. I've removed 
the HD and tested it as good. I've also removed RAM and tested with 
known good RAM with no effect. Help. Thanks! Kris

I would do the following.

Have the express base station connected to the wimax box but position it so
that the stereo can be connected to the stereo port as-well and use that as
the main net distributor, then use the imac and powerbook as normal. And put
the extreme base to connect the imac rev b also put the printer for the
complete network in the same location as the imac B and share it wirelessly.
As the express is 802.G you will not lose any speed over the extreme if you
use it in place of the extreme.

My set up is similar only using 802.b and g mixed.
I have a Netgear router connected to a cable modem No other wires connecting
a g4 sawtooth and a g4 ibook both running panther, also a 3400c powerbook
running 9.1. Just connected in the last two days a g3 imac running X via a
graphite base station the base station is acting as a bridge to the Netgear,
and there is a lexmark photo printer connected to the sawtooth witch all the
Macs except the 3400 can print to. The 3400 prints to a folder on the
sawtooth then it is printed from there. I want to use the imac for this but
at the moment cannot seem to get it to run it is seen but just not able to
print but it will work soon.

Good luck with you home network?

Wireless on Rev B iMac running OS 9.1 & G4 PB

[Dennis B. Swaney]

I posted this to the Mac Network list but received no response. I saw 
the thread on wireless USB devices on this list and noted that 
someone wanted to do what I want to do, so I thought that I'd ask on 
this list.

What is the best way to put this machine on a wireless network that 
consists of the following:

AirPort Extreme Base Station connected to Internet via WiMax
G4 iMac with original AirPort card
G4 Powerbook with AirPort Extreme card
AirPort Express connected to stereo system.
I know about the following:
USB WiFi connection
Ethernet port WiFi connection
Linksys Wireless Ethernet bridge
Any one of those better than the others?
I would like to do the following:
Connect to the Internet on an as needed basis
Do some file sharing between the PB, Bondi & G4 iMac also on an as needed basis
Lastly, what software would I need for OS 9 to do this?

Re: Battery life under Tiger

[Steve Fuller]

I get 3:30 or so from my 15" AlBook 1.25ghz with Airport on and  
screen about
1/3 brightness. I have since new. Processor is set to automatic.
Speaking of which... what rev of G4 is needed to have the "automatic"  
show up as a processor power option under Tiger? My 1st gen AlBook  
seems to only give me "reduced" and "highest" as options...

Re: Put the Cat in the Book

[Nima]

Update on Dashboard.
I installed Amnesty ( http://www.mesadynamics.com/amnesty.htm ) and now 
I am a completely happy camper. I am replacing Konfabulator with 
Dashboard. You can configure Dashboard with Amnesty to have specific 
widgets to remain on the desktop. This should have been an embedded 
preference into Dashboard to begin with.

Re: Wireless USB Adapter (802.11b/802.11g) recommendation?

[Gregory J. Smith]

If your using it with a 'book, then they aren't exactly portable. I'm  
looking to use one with my PBG4, so I can use 802.11g and so I can  
get a better signal than the internal antennas. I've got a DWL-G122,  
but apparently you need a certain revision for it to work with the Mac.

So long as you're sure anything missing has been replaced, etc,

Now this applies only to system level drivers, pref panes, etc.
If all of those are working as advertised, delete it.

I get 3:30 or so from my 15" AlBook 1.25ghz with Airport on and screen about
1/3 brightness. I have since new. Processor is set to automatic.

Re: Bluetooth question

[Stephen Thomas]

I didn't intend to become a BT Mouse expert, but I'm picky about human 
interface components, and so I've tried quite a number of them for 
extended periods of time. Some observations (keeping in mind that mouse 
evaluations are always very personal and subjective).

- If one button is your thing, the Apple mouse is hard (naw, 
impossible) to beat. It has perfect heft, smooth as silk movement, and 
gets decent battery life.

- The MacMice BT is a good aesthetic match for the Mac, but some people 
(including me) found it's performance atrocious. It would skip all over 
the screen no matter the surface (desk, mouse pad, etc.) and for me was 
simply unusable. Many other folks complained of similar problems (check 
the forums), but others apparently had no issue. YMMV. It's noticeably 
lighter than the Apple mouse and the scroll wheel is completely smooth 
in operation (no detents).

- The Bluetake BT500 (sold under many different brands) is very small. 
Performance is fine, but it can be fatiguing to use it all day. I find 
it to be the perfect travel mouse, though.

- The Bluetake BT510 (also sold under various brands) is bigger, but 
not quite as large as the Apple and MacMice. For me, though, it's fine 
for all day use. It's also lighter than the Apple mouse, and it goes 
through batteries a bit quicker. It also includes a USB cable that can 
supply power to the mouse if batteries are dead. The cable is strictly 
for power, though, the mouse still uses bluetooth.

My strategy at the moment:
The BT510 is my everyday mouse. About one day a week I switch to the 
Apple mouse just to give my hands a break. I keep the BT500 in my 
notebook bag as a travel mouse.

The USB dongles are far more portable.

All the ones I've seen need their own power supply, not too portable. 
Personally I'd spend the bucks for an Airport card.

BTW, the airport cards I've seen on e-bay are going for $60-80 which 
is less than they were originally.

That's wrong. There's no difference between Bluetooth built-in or 
Bluetooth via a USB dongle.

There are a lot of cheap wireless mice that have a USB dongle, but 
they're not Bluetooth.

Re: Which Powerbook for school?

[Peter Saint James]

On 9 May2005, at 11:09 PM, MARIO RAMIREZ wrote:
I'm going off to college soon  and want to get a
PowerBook G4 for school. I have about $1000 to spend
and would like the 15" screen. Since there are so many
models of PowerBook, I'm very confused. What's the
difference between TiBooks and AlBooks. What's the
best configuration I can do for $1000. Since it's
obviously going to be used, I was thinking eBay.

You would also be wise to check out Dealmac:
http://dealmac.com/?tmp=1
They have notices of refurbished Powerbooks.
From my experience, I would advise you to look for Aluminum over  
Titanium.  They seem to have fewer problems.   They are a more robust  
piece of machinery.  Others may disagree.  They are both very good.   
Assess your needs carefully; you may find that an iBook meets your  
needs for much less money.  They were designed with students in  
mind.  Be sure to check out what you can get with your educational  
discount.

Other important differences between Powerbooks are fairly  
simple.  They amount to speed of processor (not terribly significant  
unless doing something that requires high speed), amount of RAM (the  
more the better), and features such as Bluetooth, Airport, and the  
type of optical drive.

Bluetooth allows you to run wireless devices such as keyboards  
and mice and sync with phones.  In my experience Bluetooth is handy  
but not crucial.

Airport allows you to connect to the internet wirelessly; if you  
don't get it, you'll probably wish you did.   A g card (also called  
Airport Extreme) is better than a b card.

A Superdrive allows you to burn DVDs and CDs; a Combo drive only  
burns CDs.   Usefulness of Superdrive depends on whether you will  
want to put that much data on a disk.  It's good to have if you don't  
have another back-up device.  Crucial if you're planning on doing  
something like making movies.  Otherwise not necessary.

One other feature that may be useful to you is a lighted  
keyboard.  It's easier to use in sometimes dimly lighted classrooms.   
Not crucial, but handy.

You'd be wise to find a used book with AppleCare.   Their  
portable nature makes Powerbooks vulnerable.

The advantage of a used book is that it usually contains  
software that you might otherwise not be able to afford.  Take full  
advantage of that.

You're looking at a good time.  For the past couple of years  
both hardware and software have been very good.  You're likely to get  
a good machine.

Your budget is limited, but not impossible.  To get what I  
wanted, I had to go over my budget.  I have not regretted that.  It  
was money well spent.  Do check out your educational discount.  You  
may be able to get a new machine with it cheaper than a used one.

Good luck.
Peter

that's supposedly the DWL-122 USB adapter. I have tried this one out last
summer and it was causing random and frequent kernel panics on a Lombard
running Panther. I can't recall what version of panther it was. DWL-122
firmware was the latest at that point in time (can't recall the version
either), so were the OS X drivers.

I just reckon they have since replaced it with the DWL-G122, ditching Mac
support altogether.

There is the Belkin xxx6050. But the one I have works like crap.
Why don't you use an Ethernet-connected device instead? Then there 
are NO drivers to hassle over...

Re: Put the Cat in the Book

[Brian]

I re routed Dashboard to F8, so I wouldn't have to use the fn key to  
activate it.  Been happy with it.  I've used the converter,  
dictionary, calculator and weather reports quite a bit.

Nima,
While I understand what you have said regarding your preference for  
Konfabulator,  I like Dashboard for the opposite reason - I can  
access the widgets and then hide them from view in a second.   With a  
15" PB screen and no external monitor,  my desktop space is already  
limited so I don't want to have to contend with widgets on my desktop  
when I don't use them.

I only have to use the track pad and one button to access them and  
then click on the desktop when I'm finished and I'm back to my  
regular screen.

Flickering display in Tiger

[Jan Musil]

Hello list,
I'm wondering if I'm the only one with problems after Tiger upgrade.
After upgrade to Tiger my PowerBook G4 17'' 1.5GHz with 64MB of VRAM  
when connected to 20'' Apple Cinema Display the screen flickers at  
random intervals (e.g. goes black for 0.5 to 1 second). I noticed  
that this happens only when the PowerBook is closed and I use only  
the main screen. When I keep the PowerBook open the problem goes away.

Anybody experiences similar issue? Any known solutions to this issue?
To save you some typing here is what I already tried to no avail:
1. PRAM reset (5 times)
2. Upgrade of ATI drivers
3. Re-install of Tiger
4. Create second user
5. Repair permissions on the volume
Thanks for any help.

Yeah, but the [EMAIL PROTECTED] panel is on the wrong side... and apparently no 
choice of changing it. I've really gotten used to the folder list on 
the right-hand side.

:-(

I like Bonjour in principle--although I have not been able to pick up 
anyone with another Mac in range to test whether it works or not.
Bonjour is just Rendezvous renamed because of a trademark issue. Works 
like a charm. I don't think any major changes have been made to that 
other than  the name change.

Same with AP here. I have a AL BP 800 FW that I upgraded to Tiger.
Was running Panther 10.3.9 and now I get sporadic bars in the menu
bar for reception. I can't tell if the reception is actually less or
just the indicator is messed up. I am also using an Express as a
remote base station upstairs with the AP base station in the
basement. I worked on the Express and base station settings and
changed the channel to 11 on both. Does not seem to help or hurt.
I will be looking for Apple to come out with 10.4.1 soon.
aByron
There are at least 2 of us waiting and I hope 10.4.1 will also  
address the automatic connection to the network at start and restart.

Greetings, Andre.

I finally got around to installing Tiger on Monday in my  
Powerbook.  I learned a few things that might benefit others:

I could wipe it off and start over using a different method.  It  
worked flawlessly.  I can't remember an easier major software  
install.  All except a few settings carried over perfectly.  It  
took a little less than an hour to install.  I tried all the  
software I can think of and found it all working without problem.

--When I clicked on Mail in the dock, it bounced once then  
nothing happened.  I had heard about several people who had  
problems with Mail and was concerned.  In a fit a genius, I opened  
a Finder window to Applications and found two listings for Mail.  I  
clicked on the newer one and it opened, everything in tact.

--I was prepared not to like the new Mail layout, but putting  
the mailbox list in a panel rather than a drawer works better  
because it opens and closes easier.

--Spotlight indexed my system at about a gig a minute.  I'm  
impressed with this speed.

--One of the first things I did was close the security hole by  
setting Safari to never open anything it downloads.

--As others have reported, system seems zippier.   My monitor  
display improved enormously.  It's much sharper and brighter with  
truer colors.

--Dashboard seems like a toy but an interesting toy, something  
I could have fun with.  It may even have potential to be useful.

Overall, I like the the improvements.  I think I'll get my  
hundred bucks worth.

Re: G5 Powerbooks

Wonderful mate.  You asked too much for what you have -- Apple doesn't want
it.  Stop blaming the patent system and realize it's finances and business.

For the record, and as I have said before, (sorry for repetition) if
anybody can cool a G5 Powerbook I can. My cooler design performs over
2.5 times better than a conventional cooler of the same size.

My desktop cooler cools better than water. Non exotic, direct to air.

But Apple will not sign my NDA (it's MY invention) and tell me 'we are
already working on something else' - before they receive disclosure!
How do they know what 'something else' is if they haven't seen what I
have?

The patent system is virtually completely ineffective at protecting
rights of individual inventors.

Re: Battery life under Tiger

[Nima]

Some people pay thousands of dollars to go on safaris in order to  
taste the Unknown and the Surprising. We can have it right here at  
home for a little more than $100. Can't beat that!!!

Put the Cat in the Book

[Peter Saint James]

I finally got around to installing Tiger on Monday in my  
Powerbook.  I learned a few things that might benefit others:

--I used the "upgrade" method, figuring if it didn't work well I  
could wipe it off and start over using a different method.  It worked  
flawlessly.  I can't remember an easier major software install.  All  
except a few settings carried over perfectly.  It took a little less  
than an hour to install.  I tried all the software I can think of and  
found it all working without problem.

--When I clicked on Mail in the dock, it bounced once then  
nothing happened.  I had heard about several people who had problems  
with Mail and was concerned.  In a fit a genius, I opened a Finder  
window to Applications and found two listings for Mail.  I clicked on  
the newer one and it opened, everything in tact.

--I was prepared not to like the new Mail layout, but putting  
the mailbox list in a panel rather than a drawer works better because  
it opens and closes easier.

--Spotlight indexed my system at about a gig a minute.  I'm  
impressed with this speed.

--One of the first things I did was close the security hole by  
setting Safari to never open anything it downloads.

--As others have reported, system seems zippier.   My monitor  
display improved enormously.  It's much sharper and brighter with  
truer colors.

--Dashboard seems like a toy but an interesting toy, something I  
could have fun with.  It may even have potential to be useful.

Overall, I like the the improvements.  I think I'll get my  
hundred bucks worth.


Peter

Wireless USB Adapter (802.11b/802.11g) recommendation?

[Stanton Mitrany]

I found well priced wireless USB adapters (802.11b&g) by Trendware offered
on Buy.com. I'm wondering if you've had any experience with either of these,
and can recommend whether I buy them to usw with my 500 MHz iBook OS 10.3.9
and my Wallstreet II 233 MHz OS 9.2.2?

The 802.11b unit, Model TEW-229UB, is priced at $18.91 ($8.91 after rebate)
and the 802.11g unit, Model TEW-424UB,is priced at $23.73 ($13.73 after
rebate), with no delivery charge for either one. Seems a good deal on the
surface, but I'm wondering whether they'll work on Macintosh (they're
described only in terms of Windows) and whether I should hold out any hope
that their rebates are actually forthcoming.

All the best,
stanton
