Clarification?
Hey bruce, quick question- I'm probably misunderstanding you, but i'm pretty sure the quicksilver takes an internal zip. Well, let me put it this way- I have a quicksilver, and it had the option to take an internal zip- and since I opted for it, I have the aforementioned internal zip drive. Or am i missing something? cheers -dylan Also, don't forget, the Apple store is geared mainly to supporting new sales and systems. How many years has it been since Apple shipped a G4 tower that could accept an internal Zip (don't forget, neither the Quicksilver or the MDD models could take an internal Zip. The last one that could was the Digital Audio) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: squeaky space bar
Hey brian, I have a 12 G4 ibook that had a semi-functional spacebar when i got it, so I called up apple and they mailed me out a brand new one and instructions on how to install it- on an ibook.

dead hd in freezer?
Try putting the dying hard drive into a zip-lock bag, sealing it and storing it in your freezer over night. Tomorrow remove it let it warm up. You should get an hour or more out of it so you can transfer the files to your new already installed drive. John really? thats the most bizarre fix i've ever come across, if you're being serious. what's the basic explanation for that one? *intrrigued* I mean i understand the #1 reason for HD failure is heat, but intuitively i would think it would wreak havoc with the parts to put it in the freezer. But if this is really a fix, i could see the ziplock bag being necessary- no one wants freezer burned data! ( = -dylan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Getting satisfaction from Apple
Amen, I've had apple replace so much stuff while being nice about it that it's really sold me on the company. The list includes three ipods, out of warranty, parts in a G3 bronze that wasn't originally mine, and was a year out of warranty(didn't even have apple care!) and the entire logic board out of my G4 desktop a month after apple care was up because of some flaky processor errors. I know not everyone can have a good experience, and I know i've certainly had my fair share of karma with getting hardware repairs, so thats why i'm on this list, in case someone comes along with a problem I can help out with ( = Wether you get applecare or not isn't my choice- but i've never been disappointed by getting it.

ibook help- no idea why its not working!
Hey all, got more details from my friend clint on his ibook- I really need all the feedback i can get from you guys so we can get his ibook back together!! to dylan I don't know what is happening. I tried the first thing you said and that didn't work but it sort of did. the computer started up and there were all kinds of weird colors and patterns. sort of medieval rug type of colors. then I tried the last one. my book is the large size 2 usb model 14.1 from late 2002, so to reset the p-ram power man you have to press shit, control, options, and power together. wait 5 seconds. then start up. that didn't work at all. the funny thing is. sometimes the grey 10.3 screen comes on when I try to start and sometimes it doesnt. it usually comes on if it is my first try at booting up in a while. like after an hour or 2. then the subsequent times don't work at all. I'm going to try the middle one next. this sucks. What the hell could be causing this?? I don't think i've ever read any posts that explain THIS before.

ibook doesnt light, help!
Hey all, i got this message from my friend studying abroad, i think his backlight/inverter is dead, but what do you think? I need to ask you a question. My computer is dead. it makes the diiig turning on sound, but the screen never lights up and the sleeping type of light never comes on. power in Japan comes in 125v, so I thought that might be a problem, but from what I can tell my adapter accepts anything from 100v to 250v. right? I was wondering if your computer ever did what mine is doing. it sucks. The battery is full. talk to you soon Clint he's not very technologically savy, and i dont think he has apple care at this point.

free speech (apple care)
Hey geoff, i take issue with something you said... «So free speech is not allowed unless everything is good too the Apple ORB» your emails made it to the list and to everyone's mailboxes, they were not impeded in any way. Thats all free speech is. Free speech doesn't guarantee that everyone will also agree with you, which is the case here. So don't go waving the free speech isn't allowed here flag, because in truth, you've started an excellent debate with many participants. We heard you. some agree, and some just disagree. I dunno if it will get much further cause its been in a downward spiral and i'm sure most of the listers are just ignoring these posts now, I know i'm almost at that point. I mean, i like hearing about apple care successes and failures, cause it helps me as a consumer when trouble should arise. But the one thing about this issue is that you're speaking for someone, and while he sounds somewhat upset about his 14 ibook screen, he isn't as vocal and not nearly as upset as you are.

Re: Applecare, how long should it take?
Hey geoff, let me start out by saying that i completely understand your frustration, I think that apple is changing from the company I knew and loved a decade ago-- but then again, that's because they're moving to the mass market. Any time a computer company has to put a warning on their website stating that users should not eat their product, such as the ipod shuffle, you know that they've started to market their products to a population that is a little less than technically inclined. For all of that, applecare hasn't really changed. I just got an ibook, bought applecare for it, and it was 187.00 USD with my student discount. There was an issue with the keyboard, so they sent me a replacement, no problem. They've replaced my first gen ipod twice already, and I didn't even HAVE applecare on that. They took back and replaced parts on my G3 lombard nearly two years out of any sort of warranty without cost, they made a house call to replace my motherboard in my dual G4 quicksilver just barely out of warranty and with no cost. -- Will they cover a cup of java sloshed into the keyboard? No, that was your fault for not remembering middle school science, and thinking that liquid and electronics go hand in hand. -- Will they cover a laptop that's been dropped out of a moving car? Well, you can always try, but my guess is that kyle and his ilk will probably frown and ask again how it happened, just to hear it one more time. I see your point about the update software, and while it would be nice to have CDs to distribute, I for one appreciate that apple doesn't manufacture such things, which would really be wasteful, since it's available online anyway. 100mb is a long download for sure, but my guess is that it'd be done in two days, much shorter than sending a CD via priority mail. my suggestion is to lighten up a little bit and look at the whole pictures. you make it sound like a 14 screen shortage was premeditated or some sort of plan Steve Jobs came up with just to annoy you. Rest assured, they can't make screens appear out of the thin air, and making such things typically takes time. Oh, and does apple sincerely monitor our lower end mac list? C'mon, and fess up if you're an apple 'spy'... (you're okay, kyle! : ) We've caught you reporting our secret messages back to apple ( ; Anyway, take care and good luck. -dyl ( = --- «Also do not expect much complaints on the Apple boards, they monitor them very closely.

Hey, users can help too.
Any time a computer company has to put a warning on their website stating that users should not eat their product, such as the ipod shuffle, you know that they've started to market their products to a population that is a little less than technically inclined.

sticky keyboard
Hey, just to add to what laurent has said-- I would strongly advise AGAINST the use of soap- and just use water. why? If i remember correctly, most of the parts in the ibook were actually water-washed after the soldiering phase (and before the addition of microchips) because of flux residue. Soap may be too abrasive, but water will probably not hurt the keyboard. If you do any light scrubbing (and I suggest not, just repeatedly dipping, soaking, or a light rub) it may lift the vitals off the board. I'd give it a try though. Oh, and DEFINITELY wait for it to be entirely dry, laurent was quite right in suggesting 2 to 3 days. If you've GOT to have it faster, try a fan. (NO HAIR DRYERS!)

Less is more- a little story (Gather 'round!)
Hey all, My bronze Gbook and I-- You couldn't separate us, and I just flat out loved that machine. All it took was some terrible circumstances and a shady motherfucker like my ex-roomate's boyfriend, and that was the end of the romance. Several days later, I had to watch as lombard parts went up on ebay from some undisclosed place in jersey, painfully aware, but unable to prove, that they were probably the remnants of my computer. (Nothing that was sold could be tracked back to mine, but I knew the guy lived in jersey. My keyboard was partly broken, and the only part not listed was --drum roll--- the keyboard. Bastard.) So, friendly reminder from an ex-owner of the world's best laptop- watch your stuff, don't even think for a SECOND to let it out of your sight. It WILL walk. Since then, I bought a 12 ibook. Yeah, it rocks and it was really cheap (799), but I miss those sexy curves and jaw-dropping matte black case. I took so much pride in having the last version of an apple laptop with the upside-down illuminated apple-- just seeing the right side up one on my ibook is a constant sore reminder. Someday when I'm not a poor college kid, I'm going to buy one for myself again. Its up to you guys to keep them in good shape, so when you're ready to move on to a G5 'book, I'll be ready with a loving home.

File sharing over two computers, wireless style
Hey there: Just an additional note on how to do this: 1. Pick one laptop, go up to its airport menu (where you see the signal business goin on) 2. Go down to create network and give it a name. You dont need external service for this to work. 3. Your buddy's laptop should then connect to that network, selected from the airport menu 4. Go to the system prefs, then to sharing. Make sure file sharing is active for both 5. then hit apple-K, click browse, and select the other laptop. 6. Enter the username and password. select the disc to mount. Thats all there is to it. To stop, drag the mounted server to the garbage, it will come up as unmount, then the computer providing the network can turn its airport off and you're done. Sorry if this was too basic, I just wanted to make sure I hit all the points and made it as clear as possible. Hit me back if you need anything else.

Re: ...struck by lightning...
Okay, the last message send out about moving files all around and re-installing X is a convoluted way of doing an archive install. Despite its name, there is no archiving. I'm getting ahead of myself. I recently had a similar problem where I got the ? of death and it wouldn't even boot to a CD of 9. It did, however, boot to my jaguar CD. Thank god. Go into install, then click on custom options, then click the 'archive install' radio button (the name may not be exactly that, but its roughly the second option and does include the word archive.) there's a checkbox directly underneath. I believe you want to check that. make sure you're not checking anything that deletes crap. Go ahead and install this on your hard drive. This is what it'll do: first, it will rename your system folder previous system 1 in a folder called previous systems. then, it will reinstall an new version of the system folder (cleverly named system) finally, it will place all of the user files into the new system folder, so when you start up, your desktop, dock, home folder, settings, etc will all be like it was the last time you logged in. The only difference is that you will need to re-update patches and such, which is not a big deal. This will bypass the nonsense of moving (or accidentally forgetting) all of your files between system folders. My mac now starts up with no issues whatsoever.

Re: Network G4 iBook with an old computer
BTW just a FWIW (For Whatever It's Worth) comment. You can pick up a 3/4-port Ethernet hub for $15 or less. That makes networking even two computers easier. This is coming from a guy who used a crossover cable for years to connect even to Performas. But with the price of hubs so low these days, it's really better to go that way IMHO. --Amen! I have a 7200/90 that i've networked to my G4 tower. First thing i did was install the highest operating system the 7200 would take- 9.1 Then I got rid of things that habitually annoyed me, including the web sever extension (I mean, its a 10Base-T, for god's sake. Its not going to be my sever machine!) Then, i started up file sharing-- which takes a long time. If i recall properly, it was a hassle, but I could connect either way. One more thing, though if you've gotten this far, its probably fine -- make sure the appletalk extension has your ethernet port picked. Sometimes if its powered off/unplugged for a long time, it'll pick the most bizarre option, probably just to be funny. (what a sense of humor the 7200 has...) And make sure your appletalk settings are otherwise together. I used my 7200 as a print server so i could still use my stylewriter with my G3 via the printer port this way. (mac os X likes to disavow any knowledge of the printer and modem ports, a cause of great pain, but not networked printers). Bob is right in having a hub though, that was the magic ingredient for this. OT update-- i'm in the process of buying an iBook... I don't know the seller, so hopefully its going to be legitimate. I can't wait to own a gbook again. Cross your fingers for me! -dylan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I need a Gbook ( =
Hey gang, its been a slow grieving process since the loss of my lombard --and thanks to the people who sent a message my way, i appreciate it ( = Since I'm a poor college kid, I've ruled out the need to get anything along the lines of a G4 powerbook. That means G3s are still in the game. I'm looking at the ever so durable iBook. Here are my questions: 1. I'm looking for either a G3 iBook, ~900mhz or a G4 ~800Mhz machine. I'd like audio in. Since I bought my last Gbook from the awesome members of this list, I wanted to ask here -- anyone have a spare machine around these specs that they'd like to find a good home for? I'm thinking a price around 650-700. If it has applecare, more. --This is what they seem to be going on ebay for, though I'd rather buy from someone here. Something a Gbook member said awhile ago has stuck with me-- if you have to part with your mac, it feels much better to know its going into a good home, rather than to someone you don't know. 2. Considering that I'm going to be doing audio processing, flash work, and Max/MSP stuff, is an iBook in this range what i'm looking for? The lombard was fine so if someone has a powerbook g3 in good condition, i'll consider that too. I'm not terribly interested in anything under 333Mhz and it might be painful to re-purchase my machine (not quite the same, you know?) I need something rugged, so i'm sort of hesitant to buy anything with hinge/case issues. Am I off the mark in thinking that the iBook doesn't have this issue? 3. What the hell, if you have an old ibook in great condition, drop me a line anyway. The less money I spend here can go to groceries and bills. ( = Thanks everyone, you've been wonderful ( : -Dylan Moore -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

the saddest day ever
Hey all... Well, i wish i had a funny way of saying this, but i don't. Last week, my g3 bronze, 2 batteries, CD module, charger, wireless card, and my entire CD collection got stolen. I'm sure that some of you can sympathize with the experience (and at least it wasn't done in by dumping beer on the keyboard. right?). If you don't mind if i stay on the list, i'd like to. The only other portable I have to tote around and use is a powerbook 520c (let the muscle-building begin). I'm seriously in the market for another laptop, preferably something in the G3 range, perhaps lower end G4. Any advice or offers? Should i wait for the G5s and then pick up older stock G4s once they drop price? Take care, and thanks for being there to help out a fellow-- now ex--Gbook member. -Dylan Moore -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: getting rid of menubar bluetooth icon
okay, this is what you do in jag, lets see if its close enough for panther: Apple menuSystem Preferences... Then, under KeyboardMouse, click on the Bluetooth tab. At the bottom is a Show Bluetooth status in menu bar checkbox. Uncheck it and close the window. take care -Dylan On Tuesday, March 2, 2004, at 02:23 AM, Hal wrote: OK, I have another odd question. I Carbon Copy Clone'd my data from my 12 AlBook onto my iBook G3/900. The iBook was unhappy booting from the system folder from the AlBook, so I did an archive and install and reinstalled Panther. Everything is working fine now, but I have a Bluetooth logo with a line through it in the menubar, leftover from the AlBook, which has Bluetooth. When I click on it it says Bluetooth not available. I know this. Anyone know what I need to delete or change to get rid of this icon in the menubar? Any info is appreciated. -Hal -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: COPYING CDs in the Finder
1. open disk copy, its a utility in the apps folder. Put the CD in the drive, then copy the disc image to your desktop, or wherever. Then, select burn image, select the image you just made, then put in a blank CD. YAY, instant copy! Its 4 am and I'm exhausted, and i just came out of digest mode 3 minutes ago. Sorry if I missed something vital to answering this. -Dylan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Xclaim USB
Hi all. I long ago lost the CD that came with my ATI XCLAIM USB tv tuner. Now, i need to reinstall it onto my bronze so i can watch tv on it ( ; I mean, pursue academic goals... right. So, If ANYONE has this CD, could you please send me a disc image of it? I would appreciate so much as the software is simply NOT on the net. I would have to otherwise request a CD from ati, and that would take FOREVER. Thanks all, much powerbook love. -Dylan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: COPYING CDs in the Finder
Hey Mike, Sorry I didn't catch that you were using panther. That seems odd that it doesn't come with a disc copy utility. I could send you a jag version, or link you to the apple download page, but I have no knowledge of jag utility anticompatibility with panther. I don't see why it wouldn't work. e-mail me back if you're interested. -Dylan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
