Re: DHCP problems

2005-10-16 Thread Muddle Man
Laurent,

The router may be set to DHCP but are all the Macs set
to use DHCP?

If they are set up as static that can obviously be the
problem. Or, if there is something wrong with the
router that may be the problem. I've not heard good
things about D-Link in that regard.

Check all the settings and let us know. Also, why a
switch and a router?

 Hello list.
 
 I've been having an annoying problem for the last
 few weeks. I have 6
 computers connected through a switch and a D-Link
 router (all wired).
 
 From time to time, for a reason that still escapes
 me, when a laptop (iBook
 or my PowerBook) wakes up from sleep, it will
 complain that the IP address
 it had is in use by another computer. I have DHCP
 enabled in the D-Link
 router with addresses going from 192.168.0.100
 through 192.168.0.199. Isn't
 the DHCP server supposed to assign another address
 when the previous one has
 been taken? What am I doing wrong?
 
 Thanks for any insight on this!
 
 -Laurent.

Re: 12.1 in. 1.5ghz powerbook

2005-09-14 Thread Muddle Man
Matthew,

I traded up to a 12 1.5 Ghz PB after my G3 900 iBook
broke 3 times in 18 months. I always thought the PBs
were over priced for what they were. Was I wrong! I
researched the 12 PB after my iBook broke the 2nd
time. I decided to give my iBook one more try. Then on
the 88th day of the 90 day warranty for the replaced
logic board it broke again. Enough was enough! Now
that I have my PB I wish I'd gotten earlier! Once
thing I like most about the 12 1.5 PB is that the
hard drive has a head parking mechanism if the
powerbook is dropped. It has a G-force sensor and can
tell when it's dropped.

If I had to complaints it would be these mild
criticisms. A) The bottom gets pretty hot, especially
if it's in your lap while the Mac is doing processor
intensive things (such as iMovie). B) The battery
clocks 3 1/2 to 4 hrs. My iBook was cooler (only a G3)
and the battery could do 5 1/2 to 6 hours without
sweating it.

 Hey guys and girls,
 
 My old Pismo seems just about ready to be put out to

 at least as long as my 
 Pismo has. Any opinions on the 1.5ghz 12 inch? vs.
 the 1.33ghz? and also, does 
 anyone have an idea of when the product line should
 be revised again? If it 
 will be revised in January I can put up with my
 Pismo until then.
 
 Thanks in advance,

Re: great (IMO) vendor for UPS replacement batteries

Re: CCC Tiger

2005-08-16 Thread Muddle Man
I have been using CCC for some time with great
success. However, the latest version, 2.3 is not
compatible with Tiger 10.4. For me, it freezes when I
type in my admin password to start a clone operation.
I have been told this is a bug in it regarding 10.4.
So far, no new updates from the folks who make it. I'm
considering buying SuperDuper for $20 to replace CCC.
For now, I boot an external hard drive with 10.3 on it
just so I can clone with CCC.

 Is CCC working properly with Tiger? If yes, is it
 necessary to clone a just

 any partition as it was

Re: best photo organizer

2005-08-16 Thread Muddle Man
I found this happened to me as well. It happens when
you use iPhoto's built in burn function. It's actually
burning an iPhoto library to be imported into another
iPhoto. You can get around this by selecting the pics
you want and then dragging them on to the CD. Once
copied, the burn will be the real pics and not an
iPhoto library.

Re: macros

2005-08-16 Thread Muddle Man
I had an iBook G3 900 for 18 months. Within that 18
months it broke THREE times. Logic board each time. It
was under the video card recall the first time. The
second time I had to pay the full cost of the repair
(no AppleCare, $350 flat fee). The logic board died
again on the 88th day of the 90 day warranty from the
2nd repair. I got it repaired a third time then sold
it! Good riddens. I was really, really, really angry
and considered becoming a turncoat and going with a PC
laptop. Once the anger cleared and I could think, I
got a 12 PB G4 1.5. It is awesome and I wish I'd done
it sooner! No more iBooks for me. My wife has a 12
iBook. We'll see what happens.

 Hi Claire,
 
 Having used OS 9 until New Year's, I am embarrassed
 to admit that I 
 never used this function (it rings familiar in my
 ears, so I guess I 
 knew about it, but...)... How silly, this sounds
 really sensible to 
 use, especially for people like me, I guess - who
 have joint 
 problems... I use other keyboard shortcuts, like
 e.g. Option+C for 
 copy etc., but that's it... I would be very
 interested in hearing 
 about possibilities for doing this under OSX. I will
 be upgrading to 
 Tiger soon too.
 
 I just got my iBook back for the 3rd time, having
 been without it 
 alltogether for around 4 months, because of that
 little backlight 
 problem. The last time Apple said that the company
 that does repairs 
 for them, hadn't replaced all the parts they should
 have, so they 
 needed one more chance, but their normal practice
 was that if a 
 computer had not been fixed on 3 tries, the customer
 should get a new 
 one. Now I got it back, and see they changed the
 logiboard only, 
 which they did before, so I can't help but wonder,
 if it will last 
 this time. I also discovered that they screen is
 separated from it's 
 frame, so it needs to go back. And I really don't
 feel like letting 
 them have it again, God knows how long it will take,
 and I am sick 
 and tired of it all. Plus the loaner they finally
 gave me this last 
 time (after waiting for 3 weeks, never offered me
 one before), was 
 kind of crappy (pardon my french, but I don't find
 only working a 
 little in iPhoto with 3-4 pics before it crashes,
 too much fun)... 
 Well, I mailed the company, and guess I will be
 calling Apple 
 tomorrow, so we'll see... Hopefully I can soon feel
 that I can really 
 get going using MY wonderful new iBook, with
 everything in order 
 and working and learning to enjoy OS X properly
 (instead of moaning 
 over having to use a mess of a PC or an awful old PB
 loaner without 
 airport and way too little RAM)... That company has
 had this iBook 
 more time than I have since I bought it...
 
 Oh shoot, now this will probably be too long... And
 sorry, didn't 
 mean to dump this on you and the rest, guess I more
 or less blurted 
 it out, can you tell I have had it?
 
 Good luck with the shortcuts, hope it works out!!!

Re: Airport Question

2005-04-13 Thread Muddle Man
Is true that PC card wireless cards are cheaper and
easier to find than Airport cards. I too have an
Airport in my iBook G3 900.

It's important to understand that the protocol used to
communicate over a network is TCP/IP and wireless
802.11b/g. These protocols are not platform specific. 

To give you an idea, let's use my home network as an
example. I have a cable modem, Linksys Wireless B
router, two Mac desktops running wired to the router;
one iBook with Airport, and one Win XP laptop with a
Linksys wireless B PC card. The standard of
communications wirelessly is 802.11b. The router
doesn't care if it's an iBook running OS X or Win XP
with any wireless PC card.

iBooks don't have a PC card slot, so a PC card
wireless card is not an option. There are very few PC
cards that do work with Macs. They only work with
PowerBooks since they have PC card slots in them.

I prefer Linksys over D-link for quality and trouble
free usage. When you get the router don't bother
running any install programs (probably won't have an

Each router has a way for the router to be accessed
through a web page interface. You'll see directions
for that in the manual. This is important because you
will want to lock down your wireless network with a
WEP to keep folks from using your wireless signal to
surf w/o your knowledge.

 Any thoughts?

Re: is my iBook screwed

Mine did that. Very un-nerving experience. Find out if
your serial number matches the range in this kb
article. If so, call Apple and arrange a dispatch.
They will send you a box via DHL overnight. You box it
up and send it off. It'll be back inside three days.
And you'll get a new logic board to boot.

Re: OS X bootable with iMac CD (wasRe: Ti 1ghz)

I did this on my wife's MDD G4. There was a control

when I booted off the OS 9 CD and could not see the
internal hard drive. No need to panic. It's just
because the OS 9 drivers were not installed during the
factory format...

Most free GUI builders leave something to be desired.
I'd try the ones folks mentioned. They'd be good for

Re: Data Rescue (was iPhoto/iChat Question)

2005-04-10 Thread Muddle Man
Ah, the old Trash Can trick... I work for a large
cable provider and am working with the webmaster
updating Macintosh knowledge base articles. I am
removing any instances that refer to temporarily
putting items in the trash. I used to do it since
that's what all the books say to do. To avoid this
type of thing happening (imagine the added factor of
doing this over the telephone!) I will no longer put
items in the trash.

In order for a folder to get created/recreated the
orignal simply has to be moved from the directory.
Creating a new iPhoto library would work just as well
if the original had been moved to the desktop. Heck
even just renaming it works most of the time (some
programs are smart enough to see the folder even after
renaming it). The trash is out, no pun

 Thing is, that left two copies of the iPhoto library
 in the Pictures 
 folder. I put one in the trash and backed up the
 other... Then I forgot 
 the other one was in the trash, and a couple of days
 later, having 
 forgotten I had left the other library in there, I
 clicked on the trash 
 and chose 'empty trash' out of habit... Needless to
 say, the new 
 library was the one in the trash...

Re: iBook 500 Questions

2005-04-10 Thread Muddle Man

--- Amanda Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 1. The 'book can accept an Airport card, but are
 there limitations on which
 cards can be used?

There are two types of Airport cards. Airport and
Airport Extreme. Two different form factors/pin outs.
Airport is the older type that you must use (802.11b
12Mbps). Airport Extreme is 802.11g @ 54Mbps. The
first iBooks that could use Extreme were the G4 iBooks
(I have a G3 900 and it uses standard Airport).

 2. It has a 10GB hard drive which is... well, not
 big. I have a 40GB USB
 drive and want to know if the iBook can boot from
 that drive?

Can't boot from USB. The USB ports on your iBook are
the ver 1.1 variety. Running an OS off that drive, if
you could, would be unreasonably slow. Better to
perhaps get a larger internal drive. If not that, then
a firewire drive. Solves the boot problem and gets you
more space.

 3. I'd like to run OS X on the machine and was
 wondering if the 500 MHz cpu
 would give acceptable performance? I don't do
 graphics stuff... just some
 word processing, spreadsheets and listen to an
 occasional music CD.

500Mhz will do for that. I've run X on a Bondi Blue
iMac 233, so I know a G3 500 can do it. With OS X,
more RAM is always better. Max RAM is best.

Re: Ti 1ghz

2005-04-10 Thread Muddle Man
Short answer: If a Mac can boot into OS 9 then OS X is
not required to be installed on it as well.

My G3 900 iBook died and I had it repaired only
because I need the ability to boot into OS 9. I create
a lot of web documentation for both OSes. I installed
9 first. Got all my 9 apps installed/running and
configured. Then installed X. I have run both my iBook
and a G4 733 with nothing but OS 9 on the drive.

What got confusing is when Apple stopped making Macs
that could boot into OS 9 and could only run Classic
Mode. In those cases OS 9 was actually installed last,
not first. Takes a little getting used to.

  I had assumed that because of this I could somehow

 have to install both OS10 and
  0S9 in order to be able to boot from OS9? And if
 both are installed is there
  some interaction between them even when OS9 is
 booted?
 
 If this PowerBook can boot into OS 9, then you
 should not need to have OS X
 installed. You should be able to boot from an OS 9
 installation CD, as long
 as the CD is the commercial version, not an
 installation CD that was bundled
 with another Mac.

Check your iBook against the serial number range on

If it's not that, it will need to be checked out by an

 a black of 2 or 3, then a faint red of 1 pixel, then
 right next to it are 2
 green lines, the first one being about 3 or 4
 pixels, then a black line of 1

 is a black strip of

 The computer otherwise works fine. I did boot it in

Re: Thoughts on a trade

2005-04-05 Thread Muddle Man
Knowing these things probably would have changed our
suggestions as well.

I struggled with the same exact problem before I
bought my G4 733 QuickSilver. As you can read, I
decided on the single processor.

As I understand it, a dual processor is only about 1/3
faster than it's actual Mhz rating in OS X (since OS X
supports dual processors). For most tasks you'll be
better off with the single 733. The only exception
would be if you are using a new version of Photoshop
and do serious work with it (since it supports mutiple
processors as well).

I had a BW G3 450 before my 733. I had an ATA
controller in it and multiple drives. It worked fine
most of the time, but gave me a hassle occasionally.
My QuickSilver, however, as given me NO problems at
all. I am extremely happy with it. Do yourself a favor
and get as much RAM as you can (I maxed mine out to
1.5 and haven't looked back).

--- Orlando Mac Geek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 First off I would like to thank everyone for taking
 the time to
 asnwer, just a few additional points of discussion.
 
 1.  Portability - While I appreciate everyone saying
 I should stick
 with my Ti Powerbook, my mind is already make up to
 move to desktop. 
 I have a computer at work already and that is pretty
 much the only
 other place I use my laptop.  For portability I
 would have to say what
 I have sucks.  I have broken hinges which means I
 always need to be up
 against the wall.  Also have a battery which only
 gives me about 30
 minutes of use and a lot less if doing anything CPU
 heavy.
  One of the main reasons I want to get a desktop
 is to leave it at
 home where I can have an FTP server setup and also
 want to use it as a
 Tivo type DVR.
  Another problem as I see it with the Powerbook
 is a complete lack
 of upgradability.  I can't put in a better video
 card, can't put in a
 new CPU.  Already maxed out my ram.  I am definitly
 a tinkerer as far
 as my hardware goes.  I enjoy the flexibility that a
 tower would give
 me as far as upgradaibility (if that is even a
 word).
 
 2.  My main question - Still have not gotten an
 answer as far as the
 performace difference between a dual G4/450 and a
 single G4/733.  The
 machine will be used mainly for web surfing, e-mail,
 watching movies,
 and also host a VERY low usage FTP server.  Does
 anyone have any
 thoughts which would be better?

Re: Firewire not working

2005-04-01 Thread Muddle Man
I recommend trying the cable and iPod on a different
Mac. This sounds like a hardware problem and testing
like this will be the only way to figure it out.

If it turns out it is the firewire port, then consider
calling Apple if it's still under warranty.

 Firewire port it will only charge, it will not sync.
  I have to plug
 the iPod into my USB2 card in order to sync.  Let me
 answer this right
 off the bat...YES, I am using the proper cable.  The
 iPod came with a
 firewire cable which I use and get the result above.
  I went out and
 bought one of those USB2/Firewire combo cable,
 plugged in just the
 USB2 cable and boom it syncs.  Tried just the
 firewire part of the new
 cable and same thing, it will charge but not sync.
 
 Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Re: max ram for Wallstreet?

2005-04-01 Thread Muddle Man
There is some truth to this. I've run iMac and
Powerbooks with more RAM than will be officially
recognized. This is typical of Apple's Spec database
site.

 why the discrepancy and who
  is right?
 
 I think you can go up to 512MB in a Wallstreet. The
 Apple web site lists
 192MB because at the time when the Wallstreet was
 introduced, the density of
 the memory chips didn't allow for greater than
 192MB.

Re: Followup Re: generic screen w/no Finder in OS X?

2005-04-01 Thread Muddle Man
An archive and install is a great way to get a new,
clean system on the Mac (ala Clean install of OS 9
days).

However, you will encounter serious problems if you
don't update the Mac immediately after doing an
archive and install. I did this once and tried to open
Mail and some other apps they immediately crashed with
an unexpected error. The Mail version was at OS
10.3.5. The archive and install put it back to 10.3.0.
Once updated, all was well.

 But for future reference: is there a problem with
 CDs being an older
 version than the installed, updated version, or does
 that problem not apply
 to Archive and Reinstall?
