iBook as Desktop
I have the neat little 12 iBook G4/1.33 GHz, with Combo drive, which I use for occasional genealogy research trips outside the house. Our main Mac, which I share with my wife, is a G4 QuickSilver 733 with Apple's 17 LCD. I particularly love that monitor. In setting up another work desk in another room of the house, I could try using the iBook, or I could buy a new iMac. I will be working (or playing) hours at a time, sometimes all day with meal breaks. Principal uses are e-mail, web browsing, word processing, researching CD-ROMs for .pdf pages, and running the genealogy Reunion software. Is anybody here happy with using their iBooks or small screen PowerBooks as desktop machines? Do you hook up an extra keyboard and mouse? Happy with the small screen? Or do you hook up a larger monitor? Elevate the laptop on a stand? Any helpful hints welcome! Oh, has anyone tried using a laptop like this and found it best to move on to a conventional desktop or tower/monitor setup?

Re: REPOST: How can I connect Wallstreet II/ OS 9.2.2 to iBook

The Wallstreet II has USB, but only through a PCMCIA card which I have inserted. . .

Dear List-mate, How do I connect two PowerBooks, a Wallstreet II running OS 9.2.2 and an iBook 500, running OS X 10.3.9 to one another, so that I can copy files from one to the other? It is best to focus on using an ethernet cable connection to establish your network for file transfer. Use your crossover cable. For a comprehensive view of the landscape, look at this Apple tech paper: Mac OS X: About File Sharing http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461 Look up some of the links to other articles. In both the Apple web support pages and in the Finder Help menus of both OS X and OX 9, look up topics such as Ethernet, File Sharing, and maybe Users and Groups. If you need to get involved with Users and Groups, look for a setting to use Guest without bothering with a password. On the OS 9 machine, look for using Chooser to use Ethernet and doing something with the TCP/IP Control Panel. But you can do all this under the guidance of the Apple web and Help info. I've done this kind of thing several times. I cannot do it without checking the Apple web and Help info.

Re: powerbooks, ibooks, g4, g5, what to buy?
On Apr 22, 2005, J Schooster [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All... I'm a newbie to this list, but have been a Mac User since way back :) Your list was recommended by a fellow user on another tech list, so here I am, looking for some wise advice! I currently use an old (grey) G3 desktop. I've had it for years, and it's done what I needed it to, but I really need to invest in a new system. BIG SNIP Not mentioned yet in all the excellent advice you've already seen: If you buy a PowerBook, seriously consider AppleCare for warranty purposes. You are accustomed to your old trusty desktop. Laptops are inherently more fragile and trouble prone. Bruce Johnson mentioned that the iMac G5s are damned portable. This tests your intent to move from your comfortable desktop with a nice keyboard to a laptop. The ergonomics are certainly different. You may want to play a bit with the laptops at the Apple store. But as already mentioned, you can plug a large monitor into a PowerBook, also a large, USB keyboard. Another thought: Buying an iMac G5 (or Mac Mini) and a laptop, both, depending on your work habits and portability needs. You need a full set of software and hardware power for your heavy work at home. Do you need all of that on the road? Or will something less do as well on the road? Work up the cost of your Powerbook as you would want it, along with the extras to make it comfortable to use at home. Then compare that with the cost of an iMac (or Mac Mini) set up to do your heavy work. Will the difference allow you to buy an iBook, or minimal 12 inch PowerBook that you can carry around for demo purposes? To get fancy on the road, you can have your laptop do remote access to your home machine if necessary, with a package such as Timbuktu. When my son visits with laptop, his Timbuktu gets him to his home machine, slick as a pin with broadband at each end. It's as if his home machine were in my house for what he can do with it. More points to consider: Both the Mac Mini and the Powerbook have slower hard drives than the iMac; some professional users consider this to be significant. You do not say what hard drive(s) you have on your G3. You should have at least two at home, one for backup purposes and maybe scratch space. In one respect, having a home machine and a PowerBook allow each to backup the other. Note: The Mac Mini is for folks who already have the appropriate monitor and keyboard. Monitor may require an adaptor. Cost for Mac Mini, new monitor, and new keyboard puts you into the price range of an iMac G5, but you have a lesser system.

Re: New Power Book and OS 9
Wally Hartley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am currently using a Revision B Grape iMac (333 MHz) running OS 9.2.2 with a 120 GB Hard Drive. I have not made the jump to OS X. I want to upgrade to a PowerBook (probably the 17 inch) and it comes with Panther (OS 10.3.x) I believe. I still have a great many programs which I use all the time that will not work in OS X -- mostly because they need to be upgraded, but some do not offer anything beyond OS 9 anyway. When OS X first came out there was a way to still run Classic applications within OS X or still boot the computer into OS 9 for those applications needing it. I'm not totally up to speed on how this worked but I will need this capability until I can upgrade all my applications and even beyond for those not offering any upgrade path. My initial questions are: What is the last (newest) PowerBook which offered the capability to still run OS 9 applications? Answering your specific question, new PowerBooks still run Classic applications. If you are happy with your applications under 9.2.2, those same applications will run in Classic mode with the PowerBook booted in OS X (now Panther 10.3.x). You will have to install those applications on the new machine. However, the new machines will not boot into OS 9. To buy a Mac to boot into OS 9, you would have to find an older, used model. Frankly though, I do not know of a good reason from the applications point of view, to insist of buying a Mac that can boot OS 9. But a good reason might be buying used to save money. Another good reason might be that your printer, scanner, and whatever else you have plugged in to your old iMac may not run with OS X. You can check on that at the equipment vendors' web sites for your models to see if there are OS X drivers available for your equipment. Also, bear in mind that OS X now includes many drivers for old printers that are no longer supported by their makers. So the Apple list of drivers bears checking too. Another angle on printers is that many sellers of Macintosh will throw a cheap inkjet printer into the deal for free. Which operating system did it ship with? All the latest dual boot machines probably included OS 9.2, which is what I received on my QuickSilver G4 made in 2001. It came with OS X v10.0.4, I think, which was horrid. Other folks can say whether the last dual boot machines came with 10.1 or 10.2. Refer to: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86209 for Macs that start up only in OS X.

Aase: On Jan 19, 2005, Aase Marit Waage [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I live in Norway, and my obligation is to follow Norwegian laws. According to the big red law book which I actually own copies of, we are here allowed to own 1 copy of music etc. for our own use. If you however choose to make copies to sell or distribute, then you are breaking the law. That we still have this legislation here, has been subject to a lot of discussion, but the law still says this, and I really don`t think it will be changed anytime soon... Actually I just read a long article about it, and there is no disagreement when it comes to interpreting this law, it is crystal clear (I promise you, the record companies do not like this one bit). Bottom line - as a Norwegian citizen, keeping one copy for myself of whatever it is in iTunes, is completely legal. I am fully aware of the fact that the laws says otherwise e.g. in the US, but I really don`t have any obligation towards US law except for when I am there... :) I appreciate very much that you bought you iBook with all its software media. And I think I understand that you are in compliance with Norwegian law. However, I also understand that the issue with iTunes involves an formal agreement that someone had with Apple, in effect, a license. I do not know the terms of the license to which the previous owner of your iBook in Denmark agreed. But I suspect it included statements prohibiting or controlling further distribution or sale. If so, the previous owner may have obligated himself to remove the music from the iBook. By the same token, I suspect the license is mute regarding any third party who may acquire the music, as in your case. SNIP I must say though, I was really disappointed to find out that iTunes Music Store is not available for us here. I would love to use it, and download music to enjoy. I figured that I could just access it e.g. in the US, but I just get a window saying that it is not available in my country... I also suspect that Apple prevents you from accessing the Music Store in Norway because of Norwegian law. Well, another thing to consider is that any music downloaded off of iTunes Music Store won't be able to be accessed unless he keeps the former user's account. If the former owner is 'OK' with this then. But I doubt it. It's just sad that we even have to remind others of the obvious.

I had good results in the Disk Utility/Partition panel by checking the little box at: Install Mac OS 9 Disk Drivers If this option is not selected, this device cannot be used by a computer running Mac OS 9. This option does not affect Classic. I have two internal drives and reformatted both for OS X 10.3. For my old OS 9.2.2 System Folder, apps, and data, I copied from one drive to the newly formatted one (one partition) and then for backup purposes shuffled it all back to the original drive, now formatted with three partitions. All went well. David Bjur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One thing I learned the hard way: I partitioned the drive and formatted with the Disk Utility from OS X.3, but then found I was unable to mount the partitions in OS 9. I was able to boot into OS 9 with a firewire drive (my old internal drive in an external firewire enclosure, also from OWC) and format the partitions in OS 9 and update the drivers. This was after I installed OS X on one partition and restored my OS 9 data to the other, so the install/restore time was wasted by the reformat. I then found I couldn't boot from the restored OS 9 partition; I finally did a fresh install starting with OS 9.0.4 and updating through 9.2.2, then restored my OS 9 data using the OS X Disk Utility and leaving erase destination unchecked. Now everything works wonderfully. If you are planning a dual-boot, multiple-partition disk, I hope my experience helps.

Re: screen sizes vs. reality
It seems that many of the answers flowing here on this New Year's Day are missing the point of the question. The original poster's father's wife is apparently a middle-aged to older person. But we do not know whether her corrected eyesight is 20/20 or 20/100. Yes, a 12 inch screen may be a serious hindrance for someone with less than average eyesight. There are many eye conditions that will preclude use of a 12 inch screen at 1024 x 768 resolution. In one example, a person with cataracts may fail reading that 12 inch screen, but the same person after cataract removal and artificial lens replacement with rejuvenated vision at 20/20 or better can now enjoy that 12 incher.

Re: Drive Setup 2.0.7 question Top vs. Bottom First vs. Next??
Let's avoid the term priority. D. G. Bowie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's my Drive Setup question: When you initialize and divide a drive into two partitions with Drive Setup, does one of the partitions take priority as the first or top partition? The first or top partition is simply the one that is physically closest to the center or hub of the drive. Graphically, it appears at the top of the Drive Setup display. This has nothing to do with priority. I recently took my Macintosh Powerbook G3 (Lombard, 333 MHz, with 384 RAM and 40 GB hard drive) in for repair after seeing this message for the first time and experiencing random crashes and freezes: The built-in memory test has detected a problem with cache memory. Please contact a service technician for assistance. I defer to experts here. I suspect the diagnostic points to your 512 KB Level 2 cache which sits on the motherboard to temporarily hold data that may be quickly needed by the processor. The fix-it shop ran various diagnostic texts, but didn't find a memory or hardware problem. What tools did they use? TechToolsPro? This has a test for the L1 and L2 caches. They told me that I had installed OSX (Panther) on the wrong partition. (By way of explanation, most of the time I still use 9.2.2, since all my music software is pre-Panther, but I've had OSX installed on a second partition for some time now, anticipating a future move up to it.) So, I paid their standard $50 servicing charge, grateful for the advice, and brought my Mac home. Now, after backing up all my files onto another computer, I'm surprised to discover that the partitioning scheme I had been using appears fine. In other words, in the Drive Setup custom setup screen, the Panther partition (7939 MB) sits on top of the 9.2.2 Powerbook partition (29,958 MB). I wonder if perhaps the partition on the bottom is really the one I need to re-install Panther on? If not, I wonder if I've received dubious or random advice? Could be if they were thinking you have an 8 GB, first partition limit on your Lombard. Or they may be thinking that your OS X does not have enough head room to work. How much free space do you have in that volume? I would not feel comfortable with less than 2 or 3 GB. In looking through the Drive Setup documentation, I find no mention of any partition taking priority as the first or the top partition; I've always assumed that the Startup Disk control panel in 9.2.2 dictates priority. If you have Systems installed on more than one partition, Startup Disk will select the volume/partition. I don't see this as a priority, just a selection. I do intend to give the Panther partition more space than the 8 GB it's had up until now, but I still don't know whether to install Panther on the bottom or top partition. I've been told it matters, but I'm confused. The Lombard is not the same as the PowerBook G3 Series which requires that the OS X be installed on the first partition no larger than 8 GB. When you first installed OS X, my may have been confused by the ReadBeforeYouInstall text in the section about hardware compatibility. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 2 512 sticks vs. 1 1-GB stick
Claire: Whatever you do, first compare Apple prices with those at reputable vendors such as crucial.com. Crucial has an excellent, very helpful web site. You can find other memory vendors at the lowendmac.com web site which sponsors this e-list. I know, I know, that will complicate the answers to your questions. Claire Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm ordering a 17 powerbook. Should I get 2 sticks of 512 RAM, or 1 stick of 1GB RAM? Is there an advantage to spreading the 1 GB over the two slots? I'm thinking that if I do the 1GB stick in one slot, then I can add another one later and not have to mess with the one already there. If you want 1GB at the beginning and do NOT want more later, it is cheaper to buy 2 sticks of 512. And it is cheaper to buy the second stick from Crucial or other vendor rather than from Apple. Your manual should give precise instructions on how to install. Another advantage over one stick is that, if one of two sticks fails, you still can limp along with the remaining good stick. If you know or even suspect that you will want to add RAM over the initial 1GB later on, then you should order the PB with a one-stick 1GB RAM and leave the second slot empty for later use. Second question: Can I have 512 in one slot and 1 GB in the other, YES. or do they have to match? NO. And if you decide to have 1.5GB at the beginning, just order the PB with the 512MB stick and buy the extra 1GB from Crucial or other vendor. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 2 512 sticks vs. 1 1-GB stick
Claire: Reputable companies like Crucial do the matching for you. Do not worry. In fact most memory vendors give money back or replace sticks, no question, when problems occur. Even when sticks were ok with OS 9 and later proved to be inhospitable to OS X, vendors made things good for the Mac owners. Most sticks have a life-time warranty. Claire Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One more question on the RAM issue. What if I get the minimum ram, a 512 stick, then order another 512 stick from Crucial later on? Will they be compatible?

I personally would chose the 667 as it is a 15 [the size is perfect, I have the dvi version] and I can do video spanning. So make an inventory of what you want to do and weigh the cons and pros of screen resolution and spanning vs portability. Another difference that could be a tie-breaker: The iBook comes with AppleWorks free.

Re: AppleCare Question
I am not saying that anybody should or should not buy AppleCare. And the testimonials here about saving hundreds and even close to a thousand dollars on repairs are very impressive. But there is another way to look at this. AppleCare must be a money making business for Apple. Would anybody believe that Apple loses money on their AppleCare coverage at the prices they charge? I doubt that. I think Apple makes money on AppleCare. There must be many more people who buy AppleCare and do not use it for repairs than those who do. So I believe it boils down to whether you want to self-insure your Mac or not. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 9.1 problem
Dan Scanlan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A friend running OS X on some stuff, but mostly 9.1 is suddenly having a problem booting into 9.1 from a dead start. Wierdest thing... Boots fine into 9.1 with extensions off, but hangs up on booting with even only the Apple basic set of extensions on -- hangs up before any icons appear along the bottom of the screen. Also, when trying to go into Classic from OS X, the finder says the disk doesn't have 9.1 on it, although it does. I have already reinstalled 9.1. OS X doesn't recognize it! One more clue: When we try to boot up in 9.1, the message always comes up that the machine was improperly shut down, when in fact it was not. Seems like some register isn't getting reset, of sumptin. You did not say whether the system was previously stable for a few months or so. Also, we do not know what version of OS X your friend has, or whether your friend has just installed a new version of OS X. Apple issued OS 9.2 as a free, downloadable update, specifically to support Classic operations from OS X. OS 9.2.2 is now the standard for any dual boot computer running OS X. Even OS X 10.3 Panther came with a few software updates for OS 9.2. Take a look at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75186 for 9.2.2. You may have to stage several updates in series to climb from 9.1 to 9.2. to 9.2.1, then 9.2.2. Hope this helps. -- Al Poulin -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
