Adobe InDesign CS on 14-inch G4 iBook...

2004-09-28 Thread Michael Shaw
Seriously, folks, is it just me or is InDesign CS really the most awkward 
and un-intuitive Adobe product ever made ?

I can't believe that I un-installed QuarkXPress for this. Nothing is where i 
expect it to be and many of the features and pallets are simply annoying.

You can't turn them off. The power management unit decides when it thinks
that the battery is charged to stop charging it and that's when the lights
go off. Maybe your battery is getting a little old or your power management
unit is confused...

Re: I just ordered a iBook

2004-08-13 Thread Michael Shaw
From: larry Zasitko [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am looking at an iCurve stand but so far have resisted. Mine gets  really 
warm and temps stay around 46 or 47c so may look into a cooling  stand for 
it.


Most of the devices for sale for cooling PowerBooks and iBooks are more 
decoration than function, unless they have fans built into them.

Go to www.xoxide.com and have a look under laptop coolers.
The USB-powered acrylic model that costs a ridiculously low $12.99 plus 
postage is about the best thing out there for cooling an iBook for less than 
a hundred dollars.

Re: Battery question

2004-08-06 Thread Michael Shaw

on 06/08/04 18:05, pamark at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Hi,

 Can someone please tell me how long it takes to fully charge a battery?
 I can get the amber light to stay on for about 10 minutes or so but it
 does not seem to charge the battery.
What portable are you using and how depleted is the battery when you 
recharge it and what are you doing with your computer while the computer 
battery is charging up ?? What makes you think that it is not charging and 
what happens after the ten minutes ? When the 110volt AC power suply is 
plugged into a wall receptacle the light ring on the computer end of the AC 
adapter cable connector should be EITHER amber OR green when plugged into 
your computer.

If the light ring in the connector is neither of these colours when plugged 
into your computer and into the wall then it should be replaced.

right now my iBook battery is fully charged.
If I unplug the iBook and use it for a long time or if I play a whole DVD on 
it without supplying auxiliary external AC power, the drain on the battery 
will deplete it down to 25 or 40% and I will have to recharge it. I connect 
it to the charger that came wuith it.

While the light ring on the power connector is amber the iBook battery is 
taking a charge.

If I turn the computer COMPLETELY OFF and close it up the charger will bring 
the battery back up to 100% and the light ring will turn green in about an 
hour or so. If I plug it in to recharge the battery but I continue to use 
the iBook while its recharging it can take considerably longer to recharge 
the battery.

If I completely discharge the battery every two months or so and then charge 
it back up to 100% it gives me good performance.

Re: Can bad RAM cause video problems?

2004-07-22 Thread Michael Shaw




 I have a Wallstreet that was running fine--no video issues at all.  I
 just picked up a 128mb module and installed it while still in OS 9.  I
 noticed a red outline or glow around dialog boxes after the install but
 didn't think much about it.

 I then installed Panther via XPostFacto and now the video issues are
 even more common.  When moving over the dock I see shadows or small
 rectangles that are left over.  It's almost like the refresh is slow.
 Also, buttons and objects are redish purple.

 So, can the RAM be causing this behavior with the video?  Or did I
 pinch a cable when I installed?   (Which doesn't seem possible)




And when you start up the computer off a PRE-OSX CD do the video
artifacts disappear ?

Is your drive partitioned and can you start up off the OS9.1 System and
turn VM back on ?

 Running DW 3.02 on a Pismo 400 and iMac SE 400 (Graphite)...Both running
 10.3.4   No problems at all..
 Regards,
 Mike K


The problem is that the 1 GHz G4 iBooks came with Panther 10.3.2 installed
and they WILL NOT BOOT from a disk with anything less than OS 10.3.2.

Its not a case of what operating system the Mac is running, but rather a
case of what system must be on the utility CD in order for the iBook to boot
from it.

Therefore all of the utility CDs with previous systems to 10.3.2 on them,
like DiskWarrior and most TechToolPro CDs (previous to version 4) will not
boot the G4 iBooks.

They work on the Pismo and iMacs because DW CDs probably have system 9.1 and
/ or 10.2 on them.

Its obviously an older iBook and you can never tell if the battery has 
been used a lot or a little or if it was conditioned properly when it 
was new. I suggest that you get a NEW battery into it and start fresh 
or you will never have a battery you can trust.

It was an unbelievable $12.99 US plus postage (which was only $7.35

iBook screen mobility question

2004-02-29 Thread Michael Shaw
I saw something on eBay made by Macally that looks like a plastic 
holder for iBooks and PowerBooks that holds the computer up in the air 
so that it cools nicely. The one I saw does not raise the computer a 
few inches but holds the computer almost vertical.

The picture showed an iBook in it with the CPU section vertical facing 
the user and the screen opened up so that it is almost parallel to the 
CPU.

 I have never opened my new iBook any further than it takes to see the 
screen.

 How far can they be safely opened???

I looked through the iBook literature for a picture showing the limits 
of mobility of the screen but there aren't any.

Appartently if your bid is sucessfull you'll get the instructions on

Sounds way too dodgy to me, but I just wondered if anyone out there

Hey Mike,

it doesn't come with a disc copy utility. I could send you a jag

knowledge of jag utility anticompatibility with panther. I don't see 
why it wouldn't work. e-mail me back if you're interested.

COPYING CDs in the Finder

2004-02-21 Thread Michael Shaw
Maybe I have not expressed myself well enough...

All of my previous CD copying experience has involved using external DC 
burners and Toast.

I could make a perfect copy from an original CD in my CD-ROM drive to 
the blank CD in the CDRW drive using the Toast Make Copy command.

Now I have this new 1 GHz G4 iBook that has a Combo drive in it.

What do I do now if I have a CD that I want to make an exact copy of. 
(Please excuse dangling participle)

What goes into the computer first, the original CD or the blank for 
preparation ???

If I have to stick in the original first , what do I do with it to 
create a disk image before I eject it to make a copy of it that the 
Finder can use to make the duplicate?

Why isn't this info in Mac Help in the computer ??

CD burning question: G4 iBook

2004-02-20 Thread Michael Shaw
Very simple I'm sure but I have never had to do this

All of my previous experience with burning CDs using Macs has involved 
VST or LaCie USB external burners using Toast.

I just got a G4 iBook which has a CD burner / DVD player installed in 
it.

Can someone point me towards a simple procedure or write-up about how 
to copy CDs using a Mac like this one with an internal CD writer and 
Panzer.

New Character Enters...

2004-02-13 Thread Michael Shaw
I just joined this list this week because I bid on a 256 MB 20 Gig 
Pismo 500 on eBay on Monday and fully expected to win it.

Well...I didn't.

Then I saw a PowerLogix accelerated Pismo with a 900 MHz G3 processor 
with a Buy It Now of $799.00 on Tuesday.
I emailed the seller but by the time I got back to make a bid a couple 
of hours had passed and someone else grabbed it.

I was really ticked off about missing the second one. My wife insisted 
that I stop playing around and so I ordered a 14-inch 1 GHz G4 iBook 
with 60 gigs and 640 Megs from  the Apple store on the internet..

It arrived about half an hour ago via the screwiest FedEx setup 
imaginable.

The FedEx site shows it going from Anchorage AK to Taiwan to Memphis TN 
to Winnipeg to Mississauga to Scarborough all within 72 hours.
