Re: iBook as Desktop
I you're happy with computer power and speed, I'd buy a nice monitor and an external keyboard and mouse. Then when you later upgrade, you'll be good to go with a nice monitor, or perhaps a monitor for spanning.

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? Al, I saved up my pennies and bought the same iBook you have last October. I have a gigE dual 450 G4 that used to be my main machine, but now this iBook is it. The G4 is still in the same place on my desk but is now acting as a server for the most part. I love the portability of this iBook, I use it everywhere in the house, I even put it on the book holder of my exercise bike and do a little web surfing while riding the bike. I also find it nice to have while waiting for my kids at the different lessons I take them to all week. I love this iBook, it has replaced my desktop 100%. I do like having everything I do on this iBook, I think that is part of the draw, it would be hard to have some things on this and some things on a desktop. I guess it all comes down to personal preference and how you work. Now, you did say you could buy a new iMac and set it up, I have to admit, if I had the cash on hand I might buy a new iMac and replace the old beige G3 we have in our kitchen. :) take care, Kevin Avery I use my G4 iBook as my main computer. I'm a heavy user often on my 'book 10+ hrs a day, but my son brought his new G5 iMac home over winter break. There's no comparison. The iMac is awesome. If I had to choose one it would be the iMac.

Re: Airport network problem
try starting here. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300661 Also I had to use Hex vs ASCII for password mode in order to connect to a Windows router. It has something to do with how the Mac Windows handle password encoding differently. John On Jan 19, 2006, at 9:12 PM, Cheryl Goody wrote: Here's the problem.

Re: guidance sought on keeping home synched between Powerbook and Desktop Mac
I've been wrestling with this for a few months now and found that some things work and some don't. I don't think you can keep your entire home directory identical on the two machines using iSync. ISync in 10.4 will do a good job of keeping your iCal data in step, and works well with the address book. But there are some oddities when syncing mail, particularly with multiple accounts that get frequently manipulated. Certain mail messages seem only to appear on one machine, and copies of outgoing messages sometimes only remain on the machine they were sent on. Because I'm using two POP accounts and one DotMac account I get some behaviors I haven't been able to figure out. There are many combinations with each account on both machines and on the DotMac account up on the server. And one other small problem is that I would really like to keep some of my accounting files synchronized between desktop and laptop but haven't found a way to do that gracefully. I keep the files on a USB flash drive sometimes, but that's a fragile system with a chance of lost data. I don't entirely trust flash drives, at least not for data I can't replace. Throw in a Palm device and things get even more complicated. Palms synchronize using a special iSync conduit that writes calendar events to iCal and addresses to Address on the Mac, but puts the palm notes in the Palm desktop application, which is necessary for synching even when you're using iCal for your calendar. Palm suggests users only synchronize with one Mac. I can't imagine what can happen when a Palm files gets changed, the Palm gets synchronized to Mac A, Mac A gets synchronized to DotMac on the Mac server. Mac B then gets synchronized via DotMac with the Mac server and the Palm device gets hooked up to Mac B. Oh, and I think only later versions of Tiger will do the Palm dance. I don't think Panther's iSync can do Palms. The head spins with the possibilities. My final solution is to have my Palm only talk to the laptop, and to do my e-mail and accounting only on the laptop. Then I sync the laptop with DotMac. My desktop Mac just reads the files on DotMac and I avoid making changes there. It's not an elegant system. If a list member out there has a cleaner application to do this sort of thing I hope the solution gets posted.

iWeb vs. HomePage
Haven't purchased iLife '06 yet, but have iLife '05 as well as a .Mac account. Am still trying to get a sense of whether iWeb is a replacement for, an alternative to, or a partner with, the HomePage function of .Mac. In other words, is iWeb basically a more full-featured version 2 of HomePage, but one that can be used independently of a .Mac account? And were I to purchase iLife '06, and use it with my .Mac account, would my existing HomePage sites somehow get merged in with any new sites I created using iWeb, or would I need to continue to use HomePage to update and edit those existing sites? Would also enjoy hearing (if all this isn't too far OT), which of HomePage's many limitations have been improved upon in iWeb.

Re: security re: file sharing/networks
Indeed. Aber's neighbor seems to think she's entitled to use the connection. That's rude. There might be other options though. I heard a friend mention that he had some router setting that allowed him to not broadcast the SSID. I wasn't too interested at the time so I didn't ask what brand of router he was using. But this capability would be a clean solution to the nosey neighbor and still allow Amber to use her own wireless systems, which she ought to be able to do. Masking the SSID might be the only way to solve the intrusion without making everyone uncomfortable. There are also some directional antenna setups that limit transmission in one axis to amplify it in another. But why she should have to spend money to solve this rudeness is beyond me. Hard to live with a neighbor like that though.

If the laws change to allow that, fine, but 1) the laws aren't written that way, and 2) with the vested interests that the service providers have in selling service, they probably won't be. Have I done some signal sniffing? Sure, I'll bet we all have, just to see if we could do it. Did I continue to do so? Nope--in fact I tracked down the person who had the open signal in my area and advised them to encrypt their signal.

I kind of like the idea of leaving mine unencrypted. I'm a bit of a commy nist at heart. I haven't left it open because I'm too dumb to set a password. And maybe my ISP will come after me some day. But as long as there's a marketplace out there I can drop them. The reality of the marketplace is that no ISP is going to find it worthwhile to chase down it's subscribers who don't encrypt. They want more customers, not fewer. For a prime example of what's really happening take a war drive through a college campus. You'll find more open and encrypted networks than your screen can scroll through. If service providers wanted to hunt down malefactors they could do it easily. So far the only example of a theft of services trial was the result of a guy who noticed that there was a neighbor parked in front of his house all the time and when the home owner asked him to stop he didn't. So the homeowner called the cops. It's a bit like the laws about copyright infringement on music CDs. Is there anyone out there who hasn't burned a music CD for a friend or relative? Like the service thing I much prefer paying for my music and I like having the real thing when it's a bit of art I really enjoy. I even like the idea that I'm sending money to the artist.

OT: the long arm of the law
So let's quit being paranoid and let some common sense prevail. Here here. The law is a very flexible thing folks. If all the laws were strictly enforced this country would come to a screeching halt. The underground economy alone is huge. None of those folks on craigslist are paying their state sales taxes on items sold. Cars speed. My neighbors make more noise than is legal and throw their McNuggets wrappers on the street. Some of them do anyway. Legal is a joke. Money and power is king. Got money and power and you can use the legal system to get more of both. But as a practical matter all us little people can and do, and will forever be borrowing on the airwaves. The idea of always obeying all the laws seems to me an impossible ideal. I'm not a strict relativist but I do believe that large corporations will always be using the law to squeeze money out of the general population, and the jails and courts will be full of poor people. For the ultimate example of legal absurdity just take our president, who does anything he wants in the name of national security. No warrants necessary. Don't need to tell you all what I'm doing. I'll just sign a bill with a little excuse me paragraph at the end and call my acts legal. Torture's fine. The very idea of Presidential Signing Statements is strictly illegal, against the terms of the Constitution. The executive branch of our government is not empowered to either interpret the laws nor write them. But ithese signing statements are tacked onto bills because there's nobody out there to stop it. If you support him you think it's not illegal. If you oppose him you want to see the law stop what's being done. The law itself just sort of floats on the lumpy shoulders of police and judges and sometimes legislators. Laws are rules made by men for men's purposes. They have less than nothing to do with morality. Our broadband habits are harmless compared to most of what is inflicted on the poor in the name of the law. Ok, Ok I'm sorry. This isn't a forum for anarchy.

Re: Wireless router that handles AppleTalk
There are a few considerations here. I've thought about this a bit. I have a neighbor who is running an unencrypted network. I sometimes log on to see if network problems are because of my ISP or because of my hardware. Mostly my connection is handier so I use mine. I also have an unencrypted network. She could log onto mine if her ISP gets goofy. I don't think she knows that. But the legalities of exactly who owns bandwidth are undefined. For instance let's say that I pay an outrageous fee for my connection, which I do, but I need to go on a little trip and while visiting relatives I find an unencrypted access point that connects to my original comcast ISP. Am I stealing bandwidth to use it? I would be doing the same stuff at home but ... And what is the situation of my own home use? I have 4 Macs and a printer all clawing their way to my router. Sometimes, like during Christmas when my girls are home with their own laptops, I have five. It's all my own family. I still pay rent for all these kids. Why shouldn't they be able to use my WAN the way they can use the heat inside my house? And why should the woman next door, who has one, maybe two computers and no family be paying the same rate I pay? Is she getting ripped off? I kind of think so. I have also gone down the block to a free internet zone sponsored by the city and connected there. Sometimes I go to the library and they have open connections. Is it somehow unfair use that my neighbor can't take her PC downtown and connect with it? She pays the same taxes I pay. I find it all a bit fuzzy. I leave my network open and my firewall up and watch my router lights. I know someone who borrows her neighbor's wireless connection for free. He knows about it. She admits it would be better if she got her own. And the real disadvantage is that the borrower is at a serious disadvantage because the wireless net owner has no particular obligation to keep the network up. Sometimes it crashes and the owner doesn't care because he's out of town. The borrower has no way to fix it. Tough luck. I wouldn't want that kind of an arrangement even if it were free. Your neighbor isn't going to get access to your machine. You could make her life much more miserable than she could make yours. If you are getting upset with this person why not open your connection (unencrypt it), but then close it down during times when you see her connected. Watch your wireless light on the router. Pretend you have no idea what's going on but just flip the switch now and then. Or go into the config screens and disable the wireless network that way so that you can stay connected over wires. You could really drive up her stress levels and she would probably go out and buy her own service just for the comfort of being able to control it. Oh there are just sooo many annoying things you could do to this person. Change your SSID to a racial slur. Change it to something that pokes her politics. Change it to a number, then make it invisible. You could have her begging for a cable company to charge her an installation fee. Good barbwire fences make good neighbors ya'know. At any rate don't let this person raise your own stress levels one tiny tick. Not worth it. You da boss. Having that Mac gives you the big stick.

Re: slightly OT-Router issues.
Have you tried just resetting the router? This may help if you bought it used. Usually there's a little button for that somewhere. If resetting it doesn't work you should go through the configuration screens to make sure it's not set to have a fixed IP address and that it isn't blocking connections via mac address or connection speed or any of the many ways wireless routers have to block intrusive connections. You may be able to do this if you don't have the original manual by just typing 192.168.1.1 in the URL field of Safari while connected via an ethernet cable. That used to be the default ID of Linksys routers. The default password was just linksys, no caps. the default user name was blank (no name).

Re: G3 Wallstreet CDROM drive tray won't open all the way
I had a similar problem with my PB1400, it was the ribbon cable on the bottom. There was a kink in it. I had to tape it out of the way. John On Jan 3, 2006, at 10:14 AM, Edward Felberbaum wrote: I recently became the proud owner of an Apple G3 Wallstreet. The CDROM drive, M2451, has a problem where when the drive is opened, the tray only slides out *half way*.

Out of desperation I carefully removed the top metal cover of the CD drive and looked around inside but as of yet I do not see what is preventing the tray from opening fully. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? Aside from this problem, the drive works well because I was able to install Mac OS 8.6. You may ask how did I manage to do this when the drive only opens half way? Apparently when I first got the machine, the CD tray DID extend far enough to let me insert a CD - but I don't remember seeing the tray opening all the way, but it must have because it is almost impossible to insert a CD with the tray half open, without scratching the CD.

At any rate the works with tags on hardware are little more than stupidity honey. I've even seen mice and keyboards with little Windows flags on them that care not a jot what OS they're talking to.

Re: OT: Mac mini slowing down...
Hi Caleb, I have a mini and a G4 iBook and the mini runs faster than the book. There is indeed only one RAM slot and it's hard to get to. But more RAM would help. I suspect there are accumulated cache files that could be fouling things us. If he's using Tiger then those cron jobs get run at startup. But MacJanitor might be useful if he's running Panther. I highly recommend Applejack if you're running Tiger. It seems to fix everything, though it tends to make people nervous. It runs as a Unix script on startup if you start in the single-user mode. Here's what you do. Go here and get the installer for Applejack 1.4.1. It's a disk image. http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ Install it. Start up in single-user by holding down command-S. You'll get the command line screen. Type [applejack] (no brackets) and hit return. Watch the lovely lines scroll by. Do not be impatient. Some of the tasks take a bit of time. When it's all done restart the Mini. It may take longer than usual to start up and to start the finder. Don't worry. This is normal. Much should be improved. What's not fixed is wither due to some background tasks which others on the list have walked through, or just the small amount of RAM.

Re: G4-iBook w/o OS
I have a G4 iBook and got new for a discount because it only has a CD drive. That was all I wanted really. The seller, Small Dog, sold it as new old stock and provided the OS. You should know that if you find a G4 without a DVD drive you'll have to specify that your OS install disks have to be CD. Tiger is available on CDs from Apple but the default medium for Tiger is DVD. In fact if you bought Tiger on a DVD you can send the DVD to Apple and they'll sell you the CD version for I think $15 or so. eBay-ers will probably bid the price of that G4 way over $400. I've also run into sneaky stuff like little extra charges because the sellers complain that they are just paying too much for PayPal. I find eBay completely odious. But you may find really good deals via DealMac, where you can sign up for alerts on low prices for G4 iBooks. Also remember that a new iBook comes not only with an OS, but with other bundled applications that aren't part of the OS installation. So when comparing you may find that the loss of things like Appleworks or Quicken may factor into your cost analysis. Caveat emptor.

Just buy the retail CD's for Panther or DVD for Tiger, boot with the C key held down. Nothing more to it than that. -Dylan THANK YOU Dylan. I didn't know about the C key. That sounds simple enough! Laurent Daudelin at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 12/9/05 8:33 AM Depending on the model of iBook, it may or may not boot from that OS 9.1 CD. Any Macintosh will be able to boot from an appropriate system install CD. The CD has a version of the OS so that the Mac can boot from it. The only gotcha is to make sure that the system install CD you have is appropriate for the specific model of Mac you're planning to use it with. -Laurent. That sounds easy enough to figure out by checking some specs at everymac or apple, which I did, and so I'm thinking OS9 would NOT work on the G4/800mhz, first edition. I never had a mac w/No OS, so wasn't sure. Thanks again. Krow Magnum at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 12/9/05 10:47 AM First, the price of the iBook should be discounted because there is no original CD or OS loaded on the iBook. It should be sold with the original OS and include the CD's but that does not happen all the time so you will be responsible to get a licensed OS for it. Yes, thanks. It is discounted, or was, I should say, because I just got email to my query and in their ad/mac description it had said at the bottom of the page Buy Now for $400 but he just wrote me to say that was a mistake, as it was supposed to say that bidding STARTS at $400. I thought it was too good to be true, lol. Of course he said if no one bids on it he would gladly sell it for the $400. I would not buy one that way personally because there could be problems you will not know about until it's got an OS on it. Unless you know the seller personally of course, or can return it if there is a problem. Thanks for that advice. I didn't think about the fact there COULD be problems unknown UNTIL an OS was put on it. And no, I don't know the people but they are a power seller at ebay with refurbs and 30-day warranty only. Many of the Mac specific install CD's like the one you have may not boot and install on any other specific Mac. So your OS 9 CD from your iBook may or may not work. Since it is an iBook CD your chances are better that it will work. You will find out when you boot from the CD and do the install process whether or not it will work for that particular iBook. If you have access to the iBook try booting from your CD by starting it or restarting it with the CD in the iBook while holding down the C key. I love that C key tip, thanks! I wish I had access to it to try it out in advance but not yet and may not even end up with it if the bidding doesn't work out. Installing an OS is as simple as booting from the CD with the C key and following the installer instructions. It's easy to do. I would suggest buying a retail version of OS 10.3 from the swaplist or eBay as soon as possible. Yes, thanks, I already zeroed in on two good deals at ebay for the 10.4/Tiger but I won't need them if I don't get the G4-without-OS. Your G3 iBook can also run OS 10.3 with enough RAM and it would be a much better Mac'n experience than OS 9.1 ever was. I just don't think these 6gig'er clamshells are enough HD memory. I have hardly anything on this current G3 clamshell (IE-OE-MS Office 98, etc.) and it's slow as molasses and bogs down, etc. which is why I was looking for a newer model with more mhz and more ram and mucho bigger HD. Also it's awful heavy on the lap! ;-) If you are going to buy a G4 iBook you should put a decent OS
Re: Software piracy
It does not indicate piracy in any way.

Too many eBay sellers sell computers with a newer OS but no CD's which is software pirating and generally is a sign of their honesty. Without the CD's the hard drive should be wiped clean. So at least he didn't add Panther or Tiger to the iBook to sell it for more money and that's a good sign. I don't know about it being an indicator of anyone's honesty or not; what about situations where individuals are selling their personal laptops after being upgraded?

Re: Safari problem ?
Amber, Since this is both a Mac and a Safari problem I suspect the keyboard input. Safari is cooperative with various language inputs. In fact it's really neat that us Mac users can set our whole operating system displays to read and write in Japanese or German or any number of other alphabets. Go to the International prefs panel and check that you have set your input for U.S., not U.S. Extended in the input section. Review other input settings like the order of language preferences. You might want to uncheck foreign languages except U.S. and see if that helps with the password problems. Then go to the appearance preferences in Safari and make sure you have checked Western ISO as your default encoding scheme. Things change.

Re: USBcam for 10.4/1.5GHz
The icecam doesn't work too bad. If it's like the one I have, it's pretty unwieldy and I end up clamping it to the top of my screen with a big rubber band. It's also manual focus. And it doesn't contain a mic. Since it's USB, I suspect it has considerably fewer frames per second than say the iSight. However, knowing these limitations, it's still not a bad cheap alternative to the iSight. Also, as with many of these cameras, it performs poorly in low light conditions. It helps a lot to have a light facing you.

Re: used Apple Laptops
I have two white ibooks, one a G3 500 and the other a G4 1gig. I love them to bits. I replaced the video cable on the old one, which is how it came to be mine in the first place. But I treat my little lalptop like it's made of egg shells. It goes nowhere without it's little padded case. I don't type and eat. I don't leave it where it might fall and I never leave it in the car. I think laptops are generally rather fragile things. I have heard some stories of bad boards and some systemic problems but the two I've had (the 500 is now with my daughter in Chicago) are quite reliable. That said I think that the days of the SE/30 and it's longevity are gone. I still have three compact Macs that run like champs. New PRAM battery every three years and that's it. Hardware, and particularly laptops, just don't run that way these days. So eventually what you get is going to die. So my advice is to go ahead and get a relatively new iBook, but back it up fastidiously. John.

I would try booting into single user (hold command-s while starting up) and run through the file system check (sbin/fsck -y) and see if that fixes it.

Re: mac to windows printing
The PC has to have some kind of printer sharing ability. Macs can do this, but I don't know about PCs, particularly PCs sharing their USB printers with Macs. One way I would approach it would be to attach the printer to the Mac and turn on printer sharing. This, of course, would prevent printing when the Mac isn't hooked into the network. But with the network set up as you describe any printer sharing has to be done in the PC universe and I don't know much about that part of the cosmos. If you don't print much you could always just plug the printer into your USB port on the Pismo when you need to print.

Best guess is you aren't getting a DHCP lease. Open the Network
Preference Pane and see what IP address your Airport interface is
getting. If it is 169.254.x.x that is what is known as Self
Assigned (the Network Preference Pane will refer to it as such).
It means your Mac couldn't get a DHCP address from a server and
made up it's own address which is usually used with ad hoc networks.
the OSX wireless/ open WAP thing is partly broken as far as I can
tell. Both at my workplace and at the hospital where I was spending
many hours a few months back, I could get online fine with any laptop
except the OSX powerbook.
I could get an IP, signal fine, see the SSID of the open network,
etc. but trying to ping anywhere let alone DNS lookups gav eno route
to host.
Apple support ('book was new) was no help, local admins said yup for
whatever reason OS X can't get online, we have no ideas, but would
like it to work.
I thought perhaps I had an idea of the problem- the hospital had 2
open networks named PUBLIC but on 2 channels, I thought perhaps
things were confused on the Mac due to that (though my Clie UX-50,
Win98, WinXP, and Newton Messagepad were fine (I had lots of time and
trips to work on this :) but the work one, DORA is open and the
only one around.
I gave up. Macs just don't work as well as windows machines
sometimes. I know my karma will take a pummelling but that's the data.

to connect via unencrypted access points but not reliably, ability to
do pretty much everything when on ethernet connections. She was

Re: Mail.app and Keychain
Used to happen a lot on my Comcast mail account, but it hasn't cropped up for a few weeks now. I always found that if I reset my DHCP addresses by shutting down everything from the cable modem to my eyeballs it cleared up. I also tried deleting some of the keychain passwords but that didn't seem to provide a permanent fix. So is everyone who suffers from this mailzheimers syndrome running on a home network with some kind of DHCP router? Mine is a wireless/ wired LAN with four Macs on it. I suspect networking gremlins if all the sufferers are on networks.

Re: Mail.app and Keychain
Its a mail server problem. If mail can't connect to the server it asks for your email password again. It assumes that you entered it incorrectly or it has changed since the last connection. Ignore it and it will reuse the original one on the next mail check.

Re: Airport problem with 10.4.3
Fairly common complaint for most upgrades. Try this: 1 access your base station via ethernet. 2 change the channel on the base station. 3 try and connect via your airport card. This should solve the problem. I usually fixed the problem in the past for most people that lost the connection after an upgrade. John On Nov 3, 2005, at 5:03 AM, Luis Sequeira wrote: After upgrading to 10.4.3, I lost the ability to connect to my Base Station. I noticed that shortly after the release of 10.4.3, there was an update for Airport and installed it, but it made no difference. Also, like other people, I received a message about airport needing access to my keychain. I thought nothing of it, because it seemed quite normal, since there was a new version of the Airport software, and authorized it. I believe there is something wrong with the new Airport software and would like to know if more people are having the same problem. I workaround for similar cases has been to grab the appropriate file from a previous version and substitute for the problematic one, so I would appreciate help in determining which file(s) might be needed. I do have another mac still running 10.4.2, so I migth grab the file from it (alas, this other mac - a BW - does not have Airport, so I cannot use it for testing the Base Station).

Re: Airport Card Causing Fritz? Is it Possible? Fixes?
$75 X 40 = $3,000 = new iBook + Used Pismo + $1,000 which still puts you ahead of the game. Unless you get the new iBook and test another bad Airport card in it and KKKRAaaPowwie! That would be an unfortunate situation. Have you tried any Apple hardware tests on your iBook, or a restore? You're in my neighborhood and we could try to recover your iBook with some boot disks I have here if you want. I'm in 98118, down by Sayers on 43rd.

So here's the deal: A friend of mine in the recycling industry handed me a pile of 40 original Airport cards. He said I could test and sell them to my favorite listers, then keep some of the proceeds toward future buys. Fair enough. I tested 12 of them with success, first in a nice 14 iBook I have, then in my beloved Pismo. All worked well. Then on the--yes--the THIRTEENTH card, the iBook would not boot. I pulled the card, and it still would not boot. Hmmm, I grumbled, I hate these iBooks. Everyone I ever had goes kapop, and are very tough to fix. So I moved the card over to the Pismo, not suspecting the card could be causing anything other than a hiccup, and boom, the Pismo won't boot.

Re: router not working after Apple update
You might try connecting via a wire directly to the router and checking the settings. The DI-514 used the IP address of 192.168.0.1 and the 524 probably uses the same one. But run through the LAN settings and see if by chance you have limited the wireless to some specific protocol or fixed IP or something. Since you can connect when you're directly connected to the modem it's clear that your modem can talk to the universe so the next step is to make sure your wireless router leg can talk to your PB. So go through all the screens in the router setup panels. I assume here you've done this before so you know if you have changed the password or such. If you need to reset it there's probably a little button on the back. I don't have the manual on this machine so I can't look up these things so I need to work from the 514 manual. Anyway if you have trouble get back to me and maybe we can work through the setup screens. I use AIM for instant messaging and use the name stolengreenery. But there shouldn't be anything in 10.4.2 that would prevent talking to that router via airport.

Re: 12 Powerbook G4: an AppleCare and AppleStore assesment
Sorry you've had a bad run at the Apple world, both from weak hardware and blundering support. My own experience with the genius bar and warranty service has been more positive but I'm in Seattle and I had a simpler problem. I find the Apple support a little like some kind of military procedure. One must first go through step A, which is usually going through a troubleshooting phase with someone in India to be certain it isn't a silly user error or something correctable via standard software utilities, and at the end of that Apple gives out a number. The Indian guy, or whatever, logs this number and the troubleshooting steps he went through so that the next guy in the process doesn't need to repeat it all. In the end there is often some kind of warranty replacement, which can involve being deprived of your machine for a week or two, but rarely any extensive data retrieval or tedious hunt for cheaper ways to fix things or find out why they went bad. John was right in suggesting the firewire boot as a possible way to get some data back. Disk Warrior is also very handy there. But actual data recovery, which is the kind of thing they do in clean rooms with drives that have gone to the bottom of the Holiday Inn swimming pool, that's an expensive proposition. It usually involves opening the drive itself and reading each sector and trying to reassemble the data into files that can be read. Expect to pay as much as your iBook cost for this. I rather like taking stuff apart, but that's not everyone's cup of tea. So I guess I don't have as many problems with Apple. I also kind of expect life to toss a turd in my general direction, deprive me of use of something or rob me regularly, so I'm not floored when I get a flat tire or my iPod dies. It's a philosophical position. Life offers very few guarantees, so when any company agrees to fix it's stuff I'm pleasantly surprised. Hope that firewire boot helps somewhat.

Powerbook died and won't go beyond a grey backlit screen on startup 2. took it to Gravis in Cologne, Germany (great place!, competent, helpful 'Apple Service Provider' like we used to have here). They put in a system disk and confirmed my suspicion that the Hard Drive has died (it had been getting progressively slower on startup). 3. After return home this week I went to the local Apple Store and they informed me I needed to get an appointment to speak to a genius and that the genius bar was closed for the day (this was Friday night). 4. I called 1-800-APL-CARE on Saturday morning (one: it hung up on me after about 5 mins of the 8 mins announced (max) wait time; two: after 15 minutes waittime of 10 mins announced (max) I got Eric, who requested I insert a system disk and wouldn't believe the description of above No. 2.) - I could not find my system disk other than an old X.1 which he deemed not an option since I was last running X.3.9 ... After my request was denied to connect me to a repair dispatch to determine whether there is a way to obtain the damaged Hard Drive for Data recovery, I gave up and decided to go back to the Apple Store. 5. Went to the Apple Store on Saturday AM, signed up for an appointment with a genius, got a pager (this alone took 10 to 15 minutes, although the genius bar was not apparently busy) - the appointment was showing 11:30 (about 1 hour after my arrival), but I got buzzed at 11:10 (most people are probably not patient enough to wait too long and I was to find out immediately why: 6. The genius I spoke with mentioned that my only option for data recovery would be to pay them 150 USD to remove and replace the damaged drive after a week where I could have it for data recovery and then send it in to Apple for replacement. Asked whether they could not put a new drive in at that point he informed me that it needed to be an Apple certified part and they could not obtain that. This is where the story ends (for now).

Re: airport express
Clark is right. When they're set up optimally they latch into the network like a shark on a dead whale. I've read some router manuals that suggest setting up your router to be at least five channels different from strong channels in the area. MacStumbler will tell you what local channels are being used. Or perhaps there's just something wrong with the Express. I use non- Apple routers and have little trouble with network reliability so the technology is certainly capable of reliable connections.

I thought this issue would resolve itself when I got my new ibook. Unfortunately it hasn't. The problem persists. I'll go for a period of time without difficulty and then all of a sudden the phantom problem reappears. This is particularly annoying when trying to enjoy itunes wirelessly. First off I'm wondering if anyone else out there has been having this problem. Is this typical of this technology? Secondly, if anyone has had this problem how did you fix it?

Re: faxing from my powerbook
Modem selection is via the Fax dialog box. If you can't find the external modem (You're using an external modem?) then I guess you have a hardware issue. Why not use the internal modem? We're talking phone modems here, the internal things that connect to a wall phone connector via the nice little old-fashioned phone wire. We are not talking about DSL modems connected via ethernet or router of some sort. If you have a phone wire from you powerbook connected to the phone connector on your wall and it's a working phone connection your Mac should find the connection when you're in the fax dialog box.

Re: Outgoing mail password
I've had some smtp password problems recently, but not with Earthlink. I found that turning off my local router and restarting it so that it had a different DHCP ID address solved the problem. Running Tiger with Comcast and a wireless Buffalo AirStation router. J On Sep 24, 2005, at 9:49 AM, Peter Saint James wrote: I'm having trouble getting Mail to send messages. I believe (but don't know) that it's because my ISP (Earthlink) made changes to the outgoing mail server settings. Evidently they made these changes a month ago, but I just started having trouble in the past day. I changed the settings as instructed, but still cannot get the server to accept more than one message at a time.

Re: Xpostfacto
I think it can get around the 8gig limit if you have a second drive thats less than 8gigs. You designate this smaller drive as a helper and all the limiting files are stored there.
