Graphite iBook and iMovie problems
Hey, G-Bookers, I have a venerable graphite iBook (466 mHz, 320M RAM), running iMovie 2.1.2 under Panther. The iBook's hard drive is almost full (less than 1 of its 10Gs is free), but I have a brand-new 120G external firewire drive attached, and my digital camera (Canon ZR-70) attached to the external drive. I can't get iMovie to accept the camera's output (repeated get error message disk responded slowly) -- same problem I'd hoped the external drive would solve. Questions: Which version of iMovie is best for this model of iBook? Any strategies for addressing this problem? Thanks. CM -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Classic keeps losing WiFi Internet connection; OS X connection fine
Graphite iBook SE, running latest version of Jaguar. When connected to our home wireless network -- either an original AirPort or a Netgear WGR614 -- OS X software works flawlessly with the WiFi signal and the greater Internet beyond. But Classic-based programs (including Outlook Express, IE and printing functions) loses the WiFi connection unpredictably -- sometimes within a few minutes of connection, sometimes much longer. Only way to restore connection is to restart Classic or the whole computer altogether. And then the connection may again disappear quickly. Any suggestions for getting Classic to stay connected -- at least as well as OS X? Thanks. CM -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Classic keeps losing WiFi Internet connection; OS X connection fine
Sorry, but I must correct myself. Meant latest version of PANTHER, not Jaguar.

Re: Mac CD-RW Burners
I've been successful getting MY unauthorized CD-RW machine to work using the tips on these pages: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20010506172701999 http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20021015065316805 Good luck.

Well yeah, I can burn CD-R media and read audio/data disks using Toast (Of course Iomega doesn't yet support OS X). While that's okay, I really wanted the RW capability and to be able to burn from iTunes. Anyone know of any software that will allow me to read and write to RW media? While I'm at it, how about any suggestions for other drives that might accomplish the task. I'm running a BW G3 with a G4-450 CPU and Jaguar 10.2.8 Thanks, Amanda -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

iMovie and iBook and Firewire
Fellow G-Books users: I have a graphite (clamshell) iBook SE with 320M RAM and the standard 10G hard drive (about 4.5G of free space), Jaguar (10.2.4) and iMovie 2. (iMovie 3 won't work on clamshell machines because of their low screen resolution, I hear. Right?) Although this model was originally promoted as ideal for working with iMovie and digital video cameras, it's giving me a heck of a time as I try to download digital video (via FireWire) -- audio and video dropouts, disk slow to respond error messages, etc. -- even when I've shut down Airport, Classic and other background processes. Questions: Can anyone recommend a way to optimize performance of this particular system -- preferably with minimal expenditure? If I need even more disk space (and, yes, I realize that's desirable, but right now my only goal is to get a good dub of a 3-minute video segment; that should fit on 4 gigs, right?) is it possible to hook up a DV camera AND an external (FW) drive simultaneously and use the external drive as a receptacle for incoming video? Any way to write data from the video camera directly to a CD-R (or RW) using iMovie and this iBook? If so, anyone care to make recommendations for hard drives that work well with this machine? Thanks in advance for your counsel. Charlie Meyerson -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iBook battery life?
Much belated answer (and my apologies, too): Thanks! From: David M. Ensteness [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (G-Books) Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 18:33:47 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (G-Books) Subject: Re: iBook battery life? My Pismo did 4.5 hours in 9.1 with AirPort off and the screen dimmed using Word and the like when my battery was new. Now my battery is far from new and is probably on its way out, I get about 2 hours under 10.2.2 doing the same.
