Re: REPOST: How can I connect Wallstreet II/ OS 9.2.2 to iBook 500/ OS X 10.3.9?
Try the crossover ethernet cable. I connect my Lombard and iBook (700) via a plain ethernet cable. The iBook will recognize the cable automatically. In the book you wish to copy files from, set file sharing on and firewall off. You should see the book in your network. This works for me, but I have 10.3.9 on both machines.

CCC Tiger
I just tried to clone a fresh Tiger install upgraded tp 10.4.2 to make myself a ready-to-go disk to use in emergency and I didn't succed. I then used Disk Utility to create a disk image of the freshly installed Tiger partition, then I burned it to DVD, all well. When it came to restore, though, it appears to do the restore procedure, but eventually the target partition is empty or does not appear in the startup disk preference pane. Is CCC working properly with Tiger? If yes, is it necessary to clone a just installed partition or should it be able to clone any partition as it was the case with Tiger? Same story for the disc image: anything I should take care of to suceed in creating an emergency disc?

The program has no way of knowing when the photo was taken. My sister is starting in on a pile of family slides and was asking about what program to use. You're right --no way to tell the date taken and that is a different problem unless you are the person who meticulously dates slides and negatives--that's not me. And you do get the date created--the date scanned or if a CD--the date digitized. The first step I take before scanning is to manually sort and attempt to date as best I can using a viewer and a light box. It is a slow process but very rewarding when you see these those old images com e out of the scanner. I have a collection of about 50 years and then I will work on the old family snapshots. I'm inclined towards Graphic Convertor www.lemkesoft.de. It has a browser function that displays thumbnails of all the images in a folder. You can move, delete, rotate or rename in the browser window. If you open an image there are more editing functions than I can figure out. It's shareware, free to try. I can't help much with GC--I have it but never have learned it. The key question--does it have a cataloging and find function based on key words --or as Brian said in an earlier post using the directory/file path words as keywords. If you don't have this ability, you end up just moving them around into different shoeboxes. At this point, I have done about 4000 of my digital images and it is really neat to put in my granddaughter' name as the search keyword and see hundreds of her pictures sorted out which then can be sorted based on any of the file data such as date taken. iPhoto does have editing functions (I use PhotoshopElements 3) but I don't use it. I recommend PE3--great support and user's forums etc. Since I have put Portfolio down--I will commend them on the keyword process--you can do about anything you want with it and once I learned how (little help from them or manual) it works very nicely. I use the file browser in PE3 to see what I am cataloging and what key words to use (otherwise you are working blind--working from numbers and file path info). The two work very nicely together. I suppose I should poke around iPhoto and see if it has a similar browser function. Does iPhoto offer much in the way of editing functions. To my knowledge, iPhoto, is basically a browser--that is you can see all of your thumbnails by date/roll and if you used the keyword process--you can sort and find. Even though I used iPhoto for my digital collection--I had not been consistent with the keyword process--so now I'm doing it after the fact. The couple of times I've opened iPhoto I've been put off by it's desire to take over the process but perhaps there's something in preferences that would allow me to browse existing folders. I recommend you try it out--buy a book that is devoted to it and learn what it will do before putting more money into software. I like iPhoto and have used it since inception, but I knew my needs were going to require something more. I would be happy to assist your sister if she desires it.

After trying to copy some huge files from my internal startup partition to an external FireWire drive and getting Finder errors about problems reading/writing some files, I fired up my Tiger install DVD, rebooted and launched Disk Utility. I selected my startup partition and did a disk verification. Of course, Disk Utility found problems. I then went to repair the disk. Disk Utility started again, found the problem and attempted to repair it, which it did not! Moreover, it left my partition in such a state that it wouldn't mount anymore! I had a backup from about 2 weeks ago, when I left for vacation, but since I used my PowerBook while in vacation, I didn't want to lose what I had, particularly emails. So, I went to the Alsoft website and purchased DiskWarrior online. I was able to download the application, installed it on my Tiger backup and fired it up. I initially got a strange error message because I initially didn't install it in /Applications/Utilities where the application expects to be. Anyway, once I figured it out, I put it where it belongs and launched it. I was afraid I would not be able to select my internal startup partition but there it was. So, I clicked the repair button and after a few minutes of work (15-20 minutes maybe), it reported that it had found the problem and successfully fixed it. It was a problem with some directory structure, no bad block or something like that. My partition was now mounted so I launched Disk Utility and had it verify the disk. It didn't report any problem, so I rebooted from it and all has been fine so far. The total cost was $87.90. I've seen many good praises for DiskWarrior and I did mention many times that I've never had to use such a tool but I have now to admit after using Mac OS X for 4 years that it was a welcome help and savior. Kudos to Alsoft! Back to the original question, after I successfully booted from my internal startup partition and checking that everything was fine, I proceeded to duplicate it on my external FireWire disk using Carbon Copy Cloner. There is a documented problem with CCC under Tiger and if you try to launch it under your own user ID, you will get some error message. Knowing this, I launched it with 'Pseudo' under root and was able to duplicate my startup partition without any problem. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: CCC Tiger
I have been using CCC for some time with great success. However, the latest version, 2.3 is not compatible with Tiger 10.4. For me, it freezes when I type in my admin password to start a clone operation. I have been told this is a bug in it regarding 10.4. So far, no new updates from the folks who make it.

Re: best photo organizer
I found this happened to me as well. It happens when you use iPhoto's built in burn function. It's actually burning an iPhoto library to be imported into another iPhoto. You can get around this by selecting the pics you want and then dragging them on to the CD. Once copied, the burn will be the real pics and not an iPhoto library. --- Claire Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What is everyone's favorite photo organizer?

Take the school I go to: all PC network, and the IT staff haven't a clue what they are doing. The wireless went down in one building for 2 weeks, the guys on site never bothered to say anything about it to anyone else despite numerous complaints, and the only answer to us students was it's not our responsibility. so the main IT office never even got word that the wireless was down. Once they did find out, they didn't even know what was wrong for another week. Complete incompetence.

Re: $50 iBooks @ UVA
I think it is disgusting when students are not given the opportunity to explore different operating systems. And yes, it is the IT staff that have no imagination or inclination to learn another OS. They are biased and just plain lazy. I'm sure there are some out there who would jump at the opportunity to learn something other than Windoze. What is definitely puzzling to me is the Mac systems were taken out of graphic design labs. The college offers an AA in communication arts. In the real world about 85% of design studios and print shops use Mac systems. How does that prepare the student for the industry? It doesn't. Of course, when I went to college, there were no computers. We did everything by hand, including lettering. The good old days of paste-up with mylar, wax and Xacto knives. And then there were the Vari-typer machines that preceeded our modern computers for typesetting. I much prefer our technology of today but wish those who don't do the work, don't make the decisions of the tools professionals use. As for that BW computer, talk to the lab personnel. Maybe you can make a deal and free up that space for yet another Windoze machine. kt From: Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: G-Books G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 19:38:42 -0500 To: G-Books G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com Subject: Re: $50 iBooks @ UVA I hate it when campuses go all PC.

Once they did find out, they didn't even know what was wrong for another week. Complete incompetence. What really pains me is that they have a BW sitting under a table in a computer lab, no one knows how it works, no one cares, so it jsut sits there taking up space.

Re: best photo organizer
I've had my last three attempted replies to this list bounce. It says Your message cannot be posted. It has the content-type: multipart/alternative, and this list accepts plain text only. I'm only doing a simple reply. I'm not pasting anything in. Is it a Tiger thing? (I just upgraded yesterday.) Anyway, I will write a new post, rather than doing a reply. By way of reminder, I'm the one trying to save photos from iPhoto to CD, but iPhoto keeps filing them for me in folders that are numbered by year, then within the years by month, and then within the months by day. To the two who suggested that I drag my photos to a CD and then burn the CD, or drag the photos to a folder, and burn that, I will tell you that I have tried to do that. However, my group of 1100+ photos is actually a compilation of photos taken by 7-8 families over the course of a basketball season. Everyone took their photos to Wal- Mart or Walgreens and then gave me the CD of their photos, and several times throughout the year as well. As a result, these photos often have duplicate numbering systems. So when I try to save them all at once, I am told that a photo already exists with that name, and do I want to replace it? I tried that once, and ended up with around 600 photos, so that means that about 500 of them are somehow duplicates. My PC son says there's an automatic way to renumber into a consecutive series a group of photos, files, whatever, that are grouped into one folder. If I could do that, then I could burn all of these photos without using iPhoto to do it. I am also experimenting with EasyShare, which is a free download from Kodak. However, I cannot figure out how to transfer, import, export, drag or drop the photos from iPhoto to EasyShare. EasyShare automatically found and imported about 80 photos that I had elsewhere on my hard drive, but there doesn't seem to be a bridge available to move the photos from iPhoto. (I have sent an email to their customer service asking this question as well, but it takes 24 hours...) A Mac friend suggested EasyShare because he likes to share photos with his Windows family members. Any suggestions? Thanks, Claire -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: macros
I had an iBook G3 900 for 18 months. Within that 18 months it broke THREE times. Logic board each time. It was under the video card recall the first time. The second time I had to pay the full cost of the repair (no AppleCare, $350 flat fee). The logic board died again on the 88th day of the 90 day warranty from the 2nd repair. I got it repaired a third time then sold it! Good riddens. I was really, really, really angry and considered becoming a turncoat and going with a PC laptop. Once the anger cleared and I could think, I got a 12 PB G4 1.5. It is awesome and I wish I'd done it sooner! No more iBooks for me. My wife has a 12 iBook. We'll see what happens. --- Aase [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Claire, Having used OS 9 until New Year's, I am embarrassed to admit that I never used this function (it rings familiar in my ears, so I guess I knew about it, but...)... How silly, this sounds really sensible to use, especially for people like me, I guess - who have joint problems... I use other keyboard shortcuts, like e.g. Option+C for copy etc., but that's it... I would be very interested in hearing about possibilities for doing this under OSX. I will be upgrading to Tiger soon too. I just got my iBook back for the 3rd time, having been without it alltogether for around 4 months, because of that little backlight problem. The last time Apple said that the company that does repairs for them, hadn't replaced all the parts they should have, so they needed one more chance, but their normal practice was that if a computer had not been fixed on 3 tries, the customer should get a new one. Now I got it back, and see they changed the logiboard only, which they did before, so I can't help but wonder, if it will last this time. I also discovered that they screen is separated from it's frame, so it needs to go back. And I really don't feel like letting them have it again, God knows how long it will take, and I am sick and tired of it all. Plus the loaner they finally gave me this last time (after waiting for 3 weeks, never offered me one before), was kind of crappy (pardon my french, but I don't find only working a little in iPhoto with 3-4 pics before it crashes, too much fun)... Well, I mailed the company, and guess I will be calling Apple tomorrow, so we'll see... Hopefully I can soon feel that I can really get going using MY wonderful new iBook, with everything in order and working and learning to enjoy OS X properly (instead of moaning over having to use a mess of a PC or an awful old PB loaner without airport and way too little RAM)... That company has had this iBook more time than I have since I bought it... Oh shoot, now this will probably be too long...
