Re: Auto adapter revised

[Deaner Lawless]

Kensington and iGo make several adapters and plug ends for your PB. 
Also check out the accessories which connect PDAs, cell phones, iPods, 
etc.

I just checked the plugs on the G4 power adapter and the G3 auto

They aren't the same size, so I guess I've answered my own question. 
Does
anyone make an adapter for the G4 aluminum right now? The SmartDisk is
supposed to be available at the end of the month, but there's no 
mention of
it that I can find on their Web site.

Re: Power Supply

[Deaner Lawless]

Look at the one Kensington and iGo make. If the adapter tip is not 
included for your iBook it can be ordered. Also Radio Shack carries an 
array of these tips. These will also charge iPods, PDAs, cell phones, 
etc.

One more question... (for now) ;)
Is there a different power supply I can use with my iBook? The "flying

with.
Is there a more conventional "brick" style I can use with Irving?

Thanks,

Re: Wireless recomendations?

[Deaner Lawless]

Hi Van,
Thanks again. The Belkin 7010 card box had nothing of the sort. However 
the web site made the same claim re being compatible with 1026 and 
103X. Wonder Why the Asanté doen't work with an APEBS??? BTW the Belkin 
7010, Ver. 3001 does work well in my Wallstreet (1028) and Pismo (1036) 
using the driver from Ralink who made the chipset. It is superior to 
the original Airport card in the Pismo!!! Still wished it worked with 
apple's driver.

The card I have is the :
Asante AL5403-XG
Available from Amazon via TigerDirect for $14.99 + shipping.  I bought
mine on the 12th for 16.99 plus 7.49 (!) shipping.  I see now the
shipping is 3.49.  I was only hoping to get out of it what I had
spent, but have now decided to return it.  So, if you think you want
to try it, head on over to Amazon.  (When I purchased, shipping was
less from TD from Amazon than straight through TD)

Re: Wireless recomendations?

[Deaner Lawless]

Mike,
Thanks for the feedback. I found that site back a few months ago when I 
tried to get some of the USB wireless adapters to work which were based 
an the Ralink chipset; specifically the dLinks DWG G122. There is a hax 
posted there but I can't find a Ver. B1 adapter in my area. The Belkin 
7010 Ver.3001 works on the Ralink driver but is unstable. The goal was 
to get it to work on the Apple drivers.  Curious what verision is your 
card?

No, I'm talking about a year ago, when they changed from the Broadcom  
chipset (OS 9 & X compatible, airport drivers) to the Ralink chipset  
(OS X Ralink drivers only), but didn't have that info available on the  
web for a while.

I remember a post where someone on this list got one and it wouldn't  
work with the airport drivers, but (if I remember correctly) the web  
site or tech support insisted it should. By the time I got mine, I  
don't know if Belkin had updated their site (though I did get mine  
expecting it would work with the Airport drivers, based on old posts  
on this list; I hadn't read the one I mention above yet), but people  
on this list were able to point me to the correct drivers.

Hey, wait, their web site says now  "Mac OS® X v10.2.6 with AirPort®  
installer 3.0.4, or Mac OS® X v10.3" - but I thought that Airport  
requirement was for Broadcom - am I confused, or are they still  
putting out old information, or have they changed chipsets again?

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process? 
Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=201522&pcount=&Product_Id=136500

Their PDF manual is entirely Windows-oriented, so that's useless.
They do have remarkable bad online support!!!

Re: Looking for an Airport card

[Deaner Lawless]

Luis,
The USB adapter VER. B1 uses Ralink. All I have been able to find is 
VER. A1. Even the B1 needs a hack to the string for the extension to 
load. On the bright side, it is the only one I have found that shows 
any promise of working.

NoteBook
Network Card to work in either a PBG4al, Pismo or a Wallstreet on OSX.
Concur in your statement on chip set. That is why I am interested in
what g experienced. Must have been a Broadcom Chip Set. Hopefully the
VER. will reveal. I am also experimenting with USB WiFI adapters. So
far same outcome.
dklj

I've just checked the Ralink site and they have drivers for their 
chipset, including a "usb" version... this seems to indicate that some 
usb wifi adapters may work with this driver if they use the Ralink 
chipset. The problem is that usually the vendors do not provide 
information about the chipset they use (likely because they do change 
them or want at least to reserve that option).

Wallstreet is running fine on 10.2.8. Will probably remain there for

Tks for the reply. All great leads. Really curious about which Belkin
works in a Lombard.

AFAIK some Belkin cards have a Broacom chipset and work with built-in 
drivers in Mac OS X (I have one of those :-), it came in a redish 
box); some have a Ralink chipset and need drivers, available at the 
Ralink web site ralinktech.com (these seem to be the ones in a grayish 
box, but I am not sure), again for Mac OS X.

As far as Mac OS 9 is concerned, I do not know.
My Belkin card works great in a Wallstreet running 10.3.8 (installed 
with XPostFacto).

Re: belkin card

[Deaner Lawless]

g,
Tks. I am on the way to CompUSA to get one. Interesting fact about the 
Comp site and the Belkin site is I couldn't drill down with usual 
keywords to find it. I had to enter the model number and there it was. 
Even says 10.2.6 and 10.3 compatible. I've watched the guys at Comp use 
the same site. No wonder they couldn't help. So I guess it would be 
prudent to read each and every spec for all the models you are 
interested. That is a speedy way to shop Really appreciate your 
help. Will report back.

Re: Looking for an Airport card

[Deaner Lawless]

Chris,
Like you the Belkin F5D7001 VER. 1000 PCI worked great in my PMG4. 
However I haven't been able to get the Belkin F5D7011 VER.1101 NoteBook 
Network Card to work in either a PBG4al, Pismo or a Wallstreet on OSX. 
Concur in your statement on chip set. That is why I am interested in 
what g experienced. Must have been a Broadcom Chip Set. Hopefully the 
VER. will reveal. I am also experimenting with USB WiFI adapters. So 
far same outcome.

The Belkin G card with the Broadcom chipset is reported to be 
recognized as an Airport card (ie. using just the Airport software) in 
OS X. Be careful to check that the card still uses the Broadcom 
chipset, as it's been reported that at some point in recent past 
Belkin switched chipsets and no longer uses the Broadcom one.
FWIW, I have a Belkin G PCI slot modem in my G4 powermac and it has 
the Broadcom chipset and is recognized as an internal Airport card.

Good luck.

TigerDirect has the Asante AL5403-XG 802.11G Cardbus 54MBPS adapter

If you order via TigerDirect through Amazon, it will save you a buck
on shipping.  Based on the URL above, this card will work with the
Airport software in OSX.

Yes, I agree, the internal Airport card is preferred, but tough to

Also, check www.expercom.com for original airport cards - both new and

Re: Apple Security Update (2005-003): PB crash!

[Deaner Lawless]

Curious . .  was the 512 module recommended by the manufacturer for 
both machines?

thanks for all the suggestions. After way too long down time, it turns 
out
that the 512 RAM module I has added appears to be the culprit. Disk 
turned
out to be fine, checked with SMARTD. Replacing the original 256 MB 
module
restored stability.

I'm puzzled as the 512 module is a 512mb PC133 SO-DIMM CAS3 pulled 
from a
iBook G3 (in which it works very well) and this is exactly the kind of 
RAM
used by the PB G4 1GHz. It has also exactly the same labels on it as 
the
original 256 sticks, it looks the same, same brand, except for being
sligthly shorter in height. I'm not sure if this is to be considered 
3rd
party RAM? It has also worked with no problems since I installed it, 
just
until all hell broke loose with the latest software updates.

So the message here is for those attempting to up their RAM without 
being
robbed by Apple: be very careful. I'm not sure whether it's the OS or 
the
machine hardware responsible for this pickyness about RAM, either way 
it's
highly irritanting (to me at least).

cheers and thanks again for the help,
gianfranco
I had a similar experience on an older PB about a month ago. Stability
was good before I increased the RAM. Very poor stability with the new
RAM. Stability returned with the original chips. As it turned out the
backward compatibility as shown on the packaging was wrong.

It is also possible that the iLife installation CD is corrupted or 
has
been
damaged. Did you had any 3rd party memory in that PowerBook? Is this
the
original hard disk? What Titanium model is this? When rebooting from
the
system install disk, did you make sure that no peripheral were
connected?
Specially USB peripherals, like mouse and/or keyboard?

Re: Photoshop freeze on save

[Deaner Lawless]

Just launch FontBook and disable your user account fonts. If the 
problem goes away them it is one of the fonts you disabled. Then go 
back and half the list. Repeat until you narrow it down to the 
conflicting font. Apply this process to the "Computer" fonts if needed. 
Be careful of the fonts needed by the Apple apps i.e. Mail, 
AddressBook, Safari, etc.

Go to versiontracker.com and look for a font utility. See if you can 
find
one that will let you check for corrupt fonts during the trial period. 
Try
deleting/deactivating the corrupt fonts.

I vaguely remember there being a problem with a times font that was 
corrupt
as installed by one application I believe the font was "Times RO".

Specially USB peripherals, like mouse and/or keyboard?

I don't think it is a problem installing from a DVD made for another
PowerBook but you might want to try a generic OS X install disk, if  
you can,
just to be sure.
