Re: big black patches in iDVD
Amber, I am no expert, but any time I have software weirdness like you describe, I go into Disk Utility and repair permissions. Have you tried that recently?

Seemed okay but then 5 minutes later when I was working on the project, the same patches appeared. I am not sure what to do at this point. Just wondered if anybody else has had the same experience?

Re: international travel-charging issues?
Thanks to Peter, Tim, and Gladys for your helpful advice! Cheers, Kathryn If the charger plugs into a wall socket, the charger should have the relevant information on it. Law requires a label or embossing on the charger (or anything else you plug in). For example, a Powerbook charger says Input: 100-240v 50-60 Hz. That tells you it can use both US's 120 voltage and most of the rest of the world's 240 voltage. If an iPod wall-plug charger says something similar, you don't need to transform the power, just adapt the plug. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wireless router woes
While the wired computers are always able to be online, the wireless connection sometimes doesn't work. The fix was to disconnect the router's power for a moment, then plug it back in, and the two wireless computers would have the signal restored Yeah, mine does that too. I have an Airport Extreme base unit waiting for me to get round to slotting it into place instead of the netgear router. I've had a Netgear router for 3 years now. It's worked well for me, both with my Pismo and my new 15 AlBook. I rarely wireless problems, but when I do, a computer restart usually solves it.

Re: Sony CRX830E upgrade for Pismo
Thanks for your input. Did you have to do the soldering in the drive sled? I'm considering getting the Sony CRX830E CDR-DVD for my Pismo expansion bay. I have found it at a few Mac parts sites, and it's pretty pricey--around $180. However, when I google the part number, I find lots of places that sell it for much less--like $70. Would there be a difference in the drive between Mac and PC vendors? Is there anything I I bought this exact same drive for around $100 a few months ago, and installed it in my pismo to replace the defunct LG CD/DVD drive.

Re: Sony CRX830E upgrade for Pismo
Thanks for your helpful information! --Kate I'm considering getting the Sony CRX830E CDR-DVD for my Pismo expansion bay. snip Absolutely no difference if it's the bare drive only. Check to see if the Mac dealers happen to sell it already installed in the expansion bay unit (doubtful). I've used this same drive in a Pismo and it works great. I hacked the Authoring Support plugin for OS 9, which you can download from the xlr8yourmac web site. With it, the drive is recognized in 9 by Disk Burn and iTunes. In X you can use Patchburn 3 (free dowload) to do the same thing. snip Highly recommended at $70, especially if you have a modified expansion bay unit; though it'll work okay even without that.

Re: iTunes store downloads
I'm not doing anything unethical! I paid for this music at the Apple Store! Ironically, if I had downloaded it from Limewire or another site for free, I would have no problem burning it to a CD that I can play on my car stereo. Something is wrong here! Kate Watch acertain person on this list (who shall remain annonymous) doesn't come with the insinuation that you're gonna be using the AAC files in an unethical manor... As long as I'm not doing anything to prevent the protection, I don't feel I'm doing anything unethical. You can burn your songs to a CD from iTunes and you can import songs from a CD right into iTunes. It's a hassle, but it is permitted by iTunes.

iTunes store downloads
I made my first download at the Apple music store recently. Then I went to put the music on a CD, and found I could not convert the music files to AIFF. Here's the message I got: All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted except songs you purchased from the Music Store. (Purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted.) Don't I need the AIFF format to play on my car CD player? If I am unable to use the music that I download in this way, I think that was my firstand last---download from the Apple store.

new CD drive for Pismo

Are there companies that will let you send the bay in and they will install it, or is this something I could do myself? I've installed memory, and a new processor on a G3 desktop, but that's about it. I don't want to spend too much money as this is an older computer. Thanks for any advice and/or tips!

Re: Pismo DVD Revving really high
I'd like to add a comment on this Pismo CD issue. I've noticed that my Pismo CD tends to do this noisy high-speed spinning when I insert a home-burned CD (using RoxioToast). It will eventually show up on the desktop, but it takes a while. Does this mean the drive is going? It's happened for over a year. Any comments on this? Everytime I insert an audio CD into my Pismo CD drive, the drive begins to rev really high (sounds like a jet airplane). The drive still seems to work fine and the revving lasts only temporarily, but the noise is surely something wrong and unnatural. Is this spelling the end? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks. It depends on the model and make of the drive, as well, apparently, as the cd. All modern CD drives tend to be noisier, and that whining jet engine sound is quite familar to anyone who works with PC's: all the desktops these days ship with these gawdawful 587x speed drives that sound like the Concorde winding up. Once the disk is recognized as an audio CD it slows down. The signs that the drive is going is if this goes on and on, or revs up and down repeatedly before the disk is recognized. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I use Airport on my pismo, and tried a wired connection to see if that made a difference. Nope. If you can, yes, I would recommend that you reinstall. There is something fishy about this, don't what it is. But before reinstalling, what kind of connection do you have to the Internet?

Re: Download problems

Download problems
I've been working on my taxes all day (yuk!) and am finally just about done with the fed form. I went to download the state program from Intuit, and found I can't. Then I remembered that the last time I tried to download something, I had problems then, too. I've got a Pismo running 9.2.2 with IE 5.1. When I look at the Preferences, it shows a bunch of cookies being enabled. The browser does fine with everything else. Hmm...I just tried my Mozilla browser; it won't download either.

Explorer has gone weird!
I have a G3 Pismo with an airport card, connected to a Netgear wireless router. Suddenly today, I'm experiencing some weirdness with Explorer, and along with that I'm having one page on a web site refuse to ftp in Dreamweaver. The explorer thingit won't download, says I'm missing Flash player plugins (I have the whole program!) and refuses to go to the Macromedia site, but will go to other sites. Is my computer demon possessed? I know I probably need to trash and reload, but can anyone tell me how to save my favorites? And in DW, I'm getting parameters are incorrect for my one page. I noticed I had a / in the file name and thought, aha, that's it. Changed it, and re uploaded. Not working. Works in preview in browser mode, but not when actually on the net.

Re: Airport connection dropouts
I have a pismo 400 with an airport card (don't remember which rev). I use a Netgear wireless router with cable internet. I also have had some weird dropout problems. Looking at the airport connection bar, the connection would drop out and then reappear repeatedly. It doesn't happen much but when it does, the problem doesn't go away until I change the tcp/ip setup and then change it back. I can't see it being the microwave, or I would have a much more constant problem. I don't have a 2.4 cordless phone. I live in a self-contained house. Weird. Kate I wonder if other people on this list experience flaky Airport connections. I have a TiBook 667/GB Ethernet Rev B Airport Card and a graphite base station all the newest updates installed. Normally I've got all 4 bars no matter where I have got the TiBook in the apartment but hen suddenly - without moving the TiBook the wireless reception drops completely. Again this happens out of the blue and has no correlation to any particular software I am running at the time. The cordless phone and the cell phone that I have do not change in their activity (unplugging them makes no difference). Once the connection is gone it sometimes comes back on it's own (after a couple of hours) as I can tell from the ErageX error log (I am checking email all 5 mins). If I want to regain connection I need to bring the TiBook right next to the Airport station, then in many cases restart the base station (pulling the power plug) and then change the channel via the airport config utility. After that everything will be ok for a undetermined period of time I have experienced months without failure but also recurring connection failure several times a day. I had already exchanged the Airport card but no difference. I still believe it's probably got something to do with the TiBook, since I never had any trouble with my Pismo. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: usb problems
I reseated the usb card (as well as the firewire card next to it). I'm sure it's in there right. I tried the printer and cable with my laptop. They work fine there, but when I connect to the usb card, it's a no-go. I connected a usb floppy drive to see if the disk would appear on the desktop--interestingly enough, the floppy doesn't even seem to get power from the port. The light doesn't come on, and of course no disk on the desktop. I'm thinking the card is bad. Kate Kathryn Odell wrote: This is a bit off topic, but it does involve a g3.

usb hub-will it work for me?
This is not entirely on-topic, but I'm hoping I can get some help anyway. In my classroom I have 3 computers and one epson printer. Could I use a usb hub to connect all the computers to the one printer? I know I would be using it opposite the way it's intended but it seems like it might work since usb in input and output. However, I think I would need a cable that has two printer type usb ends. Or is there another easy way to accomplish this? We've just been plugging and unplugging the usb cable into the keyboards. Unfortunately I lost a keyboard this way last year through kids jamming the plug in upside down and ruining the keyboard usb jack.

Otherwise you can be screwed and the techs just normally don1t bring them out.

Re: connecting cable modem
Actually ATT says on their web site that you should leave that field blank. I did choose Ethernet, and also DHCP. Thanks for the advice but it looks like I may have to have that tech come out after all. Kate Gary D. Adams wrote: Kate: You should have numbers for a name server address to be input into the TCP/IP control panel in the area at the bottom where it says Name Server addr.. Make sure where it says Connect via that you have Ethernet selected as opposed to Apple GV/56. Where it says Configure you probably want to select DHCP. Also open the Appletalk control panel and make sure Ethernet is selected. Offhand, that's all I could tell you. Gary -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

connecting cable modem
I just got cable internet installed todaywell I shouldn't say installed exactly, but there is a wire poking out of the wall! The installer had said I had to call tech support because they couldn't leave me a cd since I have a mac. I called tech support to see how to get online and they just said they would send a technician out. When I said I could probably do it myself if they would just give me a few tips, they said to type sas.r4.attbi.com in my brower url field and try to register online. As you may guess, I got an unable to connect window. Do I really have to have someone come to the house to get connected? Oh, by the way, this is ATT Broadband.

Re: shutdown impossible
Thanks for the input! My daughter's imac is suddenly refusing to shut down. It will restart, however. Would the system need to be reinstalled? Also, I've lost Sherlock on my powerbook; otherwise everything is fine. Can I just add that without redoing the system software? Thanks, Kate That would be my thought. You can also install just Sherlock by doing a custom install, and select just sherlock. --- Ryan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Dead Pismo
I also have a Pismo 400. Once I put it to sleep and it wouldn't wake up, or restart at all. Dead. I also took the battery out, replaced it, and voila! it started up. Weird. It's only happened that once. Nothing wrong with my ram. Kate vlad wrote: I had a dead Pismo 400 as well...didn't react to anything, happened as in your case, got scared stiff...pulled out the battery and the power cord, put the battery back in and it worked...maybe just luck and had nothing to do with power supply 'cos my 256 meg ram module went dead couple of days later...could it be ram?

Re: wireless networking
So would I need to buy a base station and a pci card for the g3 beige? Kate Mitchell J Laurren-Ring wrote: Pismos can take Airport, G3 beige cannot. You can buy a 802.11b PCI card, but I'm not sure about Mac compatibility or if it will work with Software Base Station. Non-Apple wireless base stations are very cheap now ($150 or so), you'd probably be better off getting one of those. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: QueFire, CDRW not recognized on my Wallstreet using
I'm a little late on responding to this as I've been out of town. But in case you're still having the problem here's my 2ยข. I have the Que 4/8/32 (I think) and have also had problems with the computer seeing the drive. I use it with a Beige G3 desktop with an Orange Micro firewire pci card and with a pismo. Both computers will sometimes not recognize the drive. It doesn't work more than half the time with the beige, and I would say 25% of the time with the pismo. I haven't been able to figure it out, but I suspect the problem is with Que.
