named iCalAlarmScheduler that runs. Maybe it keeps the calendars somehow?

Other than that, if you deleted all files associated with iCal, I can't see

I wasn't clear last night about just what I did - too late and too  
frustrated by the time I posted the message -


I deleted all the files and folders with ical in their name - that  
includes these pref files, and ical folders in ~/Library/Caches, ~/ 
Library/Caches/Metadata, and ~/Library/Application Support.  Also a  
bunch of files with the names of calendar events. And of course the  
iCal app itself.  Then I search on ics and delete all those 100 or so  
corestorage.ics files that appear each time I restart iCal.  My  
calendars (Anne.ics etc.) were deleted early on.  (I did make a copy  
of all my valid calendar .ics files, zipped onto my desktop so ical  
can't see them - I hope???; if and when I ever get iCal running  
again, and if they aren't recovered properly from .mac, I can try to  
see if these work.  Their dates are pre-meltdown.)


When I reinstall iCal, it asks if I want to overwrite a few more  
library files/folders - one with webdav in its name, a couple more -  
so those get replaced also.


Oddly enough, even with my calendars deleted, a bunch of (over 600)  
files with the names of events in my calendars keep reappearing in  
the rebuilt ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/iCal folder after I reinstall  
and try to restart iCal. So SOMEWHERE my calendar information is  
still maintained, and I wonder if that's where the corruption is?   
But I don't know how to find it.  (And it doesn't SEEM to be  
connecting to .Mac when the newly reinstalled iCal is opening - and  
dying - and the last sync listed in the isync menu item is 11:30  
pm, before I did any of the reinstalls.  So I don't THINK that's  
where it's getting the problematic whatever-it-is file.)


Thank goodness I still have my calendar on my Palm; it's beeping to  
tell me I have to head off to the dentist now!!

Hi Andrew

I think that the Net-gear  usb stick and also the Belkin one work in  
10.3.9 but not in 10.4.2


what is the spec of the lombard? as you could just buy a basic Pismo  
and swap the bits out to keep the cost down. I have a pcmcia motorola  
G card in my pismo and an airport card in my spare Internal type! the  
range is very good on both cards, I can sit out the back and that is  
about 50 foot away from the router through a couple of house walls

after complaining 3x that there was some inconsistency on .Mac, the

I have NO IDEA what ever went wrong, or why it decided to fix itself,

I think I will back up very soon now.

(Besides, an elderly lady whose iMac I maintain - an 350 iMac that

could think of nothing it could be *except* the HD, and planned to 
back it up first thing, then run diagnostics.  But upon sensing my

Anne,

I too have many friends and clients that I help with their Macs and

This is more an iMac issue, but Apple made it tough with the early  
iMacs (tray-loaders and up through the 350MHz introductory low-end  
slot loader) when they provided only slow USB ports.  I still haven't  
come up with a satisfactory backup strategy for them.  It's hard to  
justify the expense of an extra drive and enclosure, or USB Zip  
drive, when there's so little there that needs backing up. (I'm  
talking here about the specific users I help.) I have an external DVD/ 
CD writer but it's firewire.  I've tried to back up my father's 333  
tray-loader over an ethernet cable to a disk image on my PB  
(regularly brought along when I visit there) and had nothing but  
trouble. But I think I'll start bringing one of my USB/firewire  
external drives and try a backup via USB.  Still, I  that backup  
with be 300 miles away if something goes wrong!  (but much closer to  
the woman who just lost her HD, should it happen again - she's in my  
town).

Re: Airport range with Pismo (internal vs external)?

2005-09-06 Thread Robert Eye
The (original) Airport card is essentially the same
(internally and performance-wise) as the Lucent PCMCIA
cards, except the pin/antenna configurations are
different. Although I have no direct experience, it
seems from what I have read that the older PBs and the
original iBook have the best range w/Airport cards. I
don't know about a comparison between Airport and
PCMCIA cards.

(IIRC, don't the later versions of the Airport sw
update the encription firmware in the card to 128
bit?)

For the cost (!!) of Airport cards on eBay, though, a
wireless USB may be the better solution. The D-Link
DWL-122 was, I believe, the only officially supported
USB wirless stick for the Mac (the Belkin F5D6050 was
supported, too, but it's not a stick, but a wired unit
with antenna - works great on my original Bondi iMac),
and only had OS X drivers. Some of these are available
on eBay for 1/3 the cost of an Airport card (!). The
successor, the DWL-G122, does NOT have Mac drivers,
and I believe is a different chip set.

Oops, forgot about the USB stick from MacWirless.com
for $100 - they say up front that some people have had
problems with the OS X driver. Check their site:

http://www.macwireless.com/html/products/11g_11b_cards/11bUSB.html

There are a couple other USB sticks available with
hacked drivers; I'll see if I can dig up more if
you're interested. Ralink Corp has come up with some
OS X drivers for USB wireless parts that use their
chipset:

http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm

You might check their forums for info on the brands
supported.

Here's another site for wireless cards/USB sticks with
available driver support under OS X:

http://home.earthlink.net/~metaphyzx/Wireless.htm

I'm exploring the same option for a Tangerine iBook I
just bought off eBay w/o an Airport card (should have
held out for one that had the card). Mac OS 9 support
is *especially* difficult to find for 3rd party USB
sticks. I think the macwireless stick is the only one
with OS 9 support.

Regards,

Bob Eye
Dallas, TX

P.S. If anyone has a good source of Airport cards for
a *reasonable* price, please forward. Thanks.

 For portable use I'll plug the card into a powerbook

 Unfortunately I can't do this with my Lombard since
 the wireless card occupies the sole card slot so I'm
 considering trading up to a Pismo.
 My question is,  how does the internal Airport card
 compare to a PC wireless card (like the Cisco I'm
 currently using).
 I'm more interested in range (the cisco card won't
 work in a few rooms) than speed.
 I guess the original airport card doesn't support
 more advanced encryption, not a problem here at home
 but possibly a consideration when travelling.

(N! How could you think of cutting up my friend). Will also include
a Carry bag (Targa style), spare 4Gb hard drive and some cables.

This is more an iMac issue, but Apple made it tough with the early 
iMacs (tray-loaders and up through the 350MHz introductory low-end 
slot loader) when they provided only slow USB ports.


Anne, when the iMacs were introduced there WEREN'T any slow USB 
ports; just the ones Apple used. These USB ports were faster than 
serial and about equivalent to SCSI. After pooh-poohing Apple's USB 
route, the PC drones decided to jump on the bandwagon, but waited for 
USB2 and then immediately started being snide about USB 1.1's speed. 
Of course Apple has beaten them again with FireWire. If you want to 
add a speedy port to the Rev A - D iMacs, then get Sonnet's HARMONi 
upgrade: It gives you a Firewire port and a faster processor.
