Re: dead had in freezer?
I've used the freezer method when a drives directory has gotten corrupt and I can't see the drive and I get the message that it can't be recognized and needs to be formatted. I freeze the drive overnite, usually its recognized when I plug it in, run diskdoctor and then diskwarrior and I'm good to go. And I have used those drives for years. But I don't want anyone to think that if there drive is clacking or bad then you should continue to use it. In the past when this has happened to me, someone has disconnected the drive before the tower was off so it corrupted the drive directory. And knowing I have tons of files on it, I had to rescue it. So the freezing is a very viable option, at least for me numerous times. Knock on wood. Linda -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Next Powerbook after Lombard?
Hi, I have a Lombard thats driving me crazy. I really love it but will probably end up getting rid of it because I have struggled way to many hours trying to get OSX on it with no success. I upgraded the battery, bought two new certified mac chips 256 and 128 from OWC, a new shell, a 10 gig drive, etc. I was hoping to keep it alive. I even bought a 2.5 external enclosure and installed 10.3 (Panther) on it from another computer and reinstalled it into the Lombard. It starts to startup in 10 but then I get a blue screen and mouse is frozen or a kernal panic. Needless to say no success. Someone suggested 10.2 but I don't have a copy of that and getting tired of investing $ into it. Is there away to upgrade the cards inside? And what would I get? Or should I get rid of it - and what would be the next step up? Would need it to handle most graphic programs like adobe, macromedia, office etc in the OSX operating system? I can't afford a brand new one right now, what would be a step up from the Lombard? I really love my Lombard and would hate to see it go - wish I could find a way to keep it.

Re: Next Powerbook after Lombard?
Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with a Lombard - and I have 3 different certified mac chips various sizes plus 2 others. And all I have is OS10.3. Tired of trying to get it to work. So what model would be a good next step up that would take 10.3 and run all the current programs??? Linda In a message dated 1/29/05 10:22:22 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Linda, Similar problems over here with our Lombard: I was able to install OS 10.0.3 using the original 64 MB RAM chip the Lombard came with. From 10.1 up, one needs al least 128 MB but all the RAM upgrades I've tested, in various configurations up to and including 512 MB, invariable gave me a freeze or kernel panic. So, I would advise you not to waste any money on a copy of OS 10.2. Rather, try to locate someone with a Lombard who has been able to install Panther, see if you can borrow that working RAM chip to install Panther and then swap it for the RAM you have (apparently, for installing the Lombard is much pickier then for actually running 10.3).

HELP with Lombard upgrading to Panther
Hi, I have a Lombard. I tried to put Panther on it and it didn't work. Had a hunch I had some bad memory - or actually one of the chips that is recognized half size due to configuration. Anyway ordered the right chip (low profile for lower slot) now have 64 meg (OEM) on top, and 256 on bottom and the system profiler sees both. Now when I put the panther disk in it continually freezes on the first installer screen (see the outline of the screen but no type) and the computer is frozen - trackpad does work/clock not counting etc.) and can't go anyfarther. Rebooted about two dozen times with no success - freezes at same point. I have 9.2.2 currently installed. Any suggestions? Option? - can I put the bottom memory into the top slot and try with just that? or switch them? I know OSX is finicky with memory. TIA Linda -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

ibook burning DVD's
Hi have a 900mhz ibook (white) with OSX (panther). It has an internal CD-RW. I just bought ilife'04 and want to burn DVD's.

ibook/dvd burning
I have a 933ibook G4 that has a CD-RW burner. I want to cheaply burn some dvd's with a simple menu. I thought I would buy iLife (idvd) and get an external burner. Will this work?

Re: ibook/dvd burning
Thanks Laurent - there was some info at xlr8yourmac about putting a file in the user folder and it should recognize other external drives. I guess one more question - does anyone have any recommendations for a good external dvd burner (R RW) that has experience working with idvd? I have had luck with lacie external cd burners and hard drives - any of those work? or other brands? Thanks Linda -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard OSX
Thanks, for all the suggestions. I think its related to the memory. Will move the 128k stick (actually a 256 but its a dual sided so only sees 128) from the top to the bottom and see what happens. Right now when both stick are in OSX goes only as far as the installation screen, and when I take out the 128 - it doesn't work at all. So it must be the memory. Might have to purchase more.

Re: Lombard OSX
How do I get to the lower slot? The top one is easy to find. The bottom one has the 64 meg chip in, so I thought I would switch them and take out the 64 meg. I took out the top larger chip and only the original 8.6 disk will boot up - the panther disks won't. Any help is appreciated. Also, the lombard has a 4 gig drive - I will be updating in the future but for right now there isn't many programs on it. Thanks, Linda In a message dated 4/16/04 2:07:54 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I got the same model Lombard running 10.3.3 quite nicely. I've been OSX only since Jaguar. In my experience, 192MB isn't enough for OSX to run smoothly. I had 192 MB myself before OSX. (a 128MB+64MB). Upgraded and put in a 256MB chip in the bottom slot and the 128 in the top slot. At 384mb the machine runs fine. My system profiler can't ID the ram chip type but its been running since 10.2 first came out. However since 128MB is the official minimum I'd say the next possibility could be a problem with the ram chips. You could try with just 128MB to see if the thing at least boots ok (assuming you have a 64mb+128mb config). If the machine worked ok with os9 then there might be an odd ram hardware compatibility issue. The other thing of course is to make sure the chips haven't popped out of the slots (known to happen and is worth a look). Wish I could recommend a good ram testing/diagnostic software other than techtool that comes with Applecare CDROM. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Memory Problem
I have a 333 Lombard (8.6) with the original 64mb memory an additional 64MB module . I bought a new 256mb 144 - Pin SODIMM 133mhz SDRAM to replace the second module. When I installed it all kinds of weird things happened: 1- I'm connected to a network via ethernet, and it would have apple share error and the laptop would not start up. And even weirder was that all the type in the error message would be broken up. 2- Then when I disconnected the ethernet cable, it took longer to go through the startup (extension icons) and would hesitate during the first few extensions (apple share then ati grahics accelerator) it then would get to the desktop and just spin away. The text in the top (file menu, date etc would be all broken up). So I never got to the point to be able to check the system profiler about the memory. 3 - I zapped the pram with no change Any suggestions why this is happening and all the broken text? I think that this is the right chip, I checked with a mac tech before buying it. I put the 64MB back in and it works fine. From what I understand it should be able to take a 256 chip. Do I have bad or wrong memory? Is their a way to test it? Thanks in advance for your reply. Linda [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
