Re: iLife Installation Problem
Herb - I ran into this problem when trying to install iPhoto 4 myself and it took me a good while to figure it out. If you go to the utilities folder and open Activity Monitor you'll find that an application called iTunes Helper is running. Kill this and you should be able to proceed with the iLife program install. At least that's what worked for me. Not that I have any idea what iTunes Helper is nor did I install any such thing. Hope this helps! Sam Strong Henley Middle School on 5/1/05 4:47 AM, G-Books at G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com wrote: I am trying to install iPhoto 4 from an iLife '04 DVD on a Pismo running OS 10.3.

I am sure that none of the iLife programs is running. I also have restarted the machine, repaired permissions, etc. to no avail. Any suggestions appreciated.

Wireless Driver Needed
Hi All - We ordered two of the Roamabout Wireless cards from Wegener Media and now my wife can't locate the install CD that we used to install the drivers on her PISMO and I'm trying to put a card into a Wallstreet here in my classroom. Of course her Pismo is running OS X and the Wallstreet OS 9 so she can't just copy the driver from her HD and e-mail it to me and they don't seem to be downloadable from Wegener's site. So does anyone have a copy of the OS 9 drivers for this card that they would be willing to e-mail to me sometime very soon? I assure everyone that we have bought and paid for the cards in a legitimate and upfront manner. No doubt she will find the CD as soon as I get the drivers anyway! Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: extreme prices for non-extreme Airport cards....
My reply follows quote: A: Source for what? you can always get the old orinoco (roam about) cardbus cards from Wegener for $28--it comes with an OS9 driver but you have to download a $20 driver to use OSX from IOXperts, or orange micro--although maybe proxim is now giving the driver away--i'm not sure. If you have a TiBook like I had---this gives great reception because it hangs outside. The WirelessDriver from sourceforge.net support the Orinoco and is free. Works very nicely, but perhaps IOXperts is even better I dunno. Actually I just bought two of the orinoco cards from Wegener last week and they do now come with OS X drivers for free. Popped one card into my wife's pismo and one into a friends titanium/500mhz, loaded the drivers, and they were on the airport network at restart. We're still working out some network printing issues, but as far as web access and e-mail no problems. Sam Strong Henley Middle School -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Help with Wallstreet PMU
Hi All - For those who might be interested here's an update on the Wallstreet problems that I was having. After much taking apart and investigating I am pretty certain that the problem is the PMU. It display's the same symptoms with or without the processor card in so I don't think that it's even getting to that point. So I'll be getting a PMU (look for my SWAP list post in a few moments) and trying that next. Thanks to all who responded both on and off list for their help and suggestions. Original message partly follows: Specifically the symptoms of the Wallstreet are: Screen stays black, no battery charge indication on the little lights on the side, no HD noise, no chime, etc. Pressing the reset sequence written on the back results in the PB alternating between the fan running at full speed with the green power light on and, after pressing, the powerbook sitting there appearing totally dead. Pressing the power button alone has not effect. I have removed the battery and held down the reset sequence for a couple of minutes with no effect other than that mentioned above. Any other ideas appreciated. Sam Strong Henley Middle School -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Help with Wallstreet PMU
Morning all - I have a teacher friend who lost (as in they stopped working) three laptops in a 24hr period (see aside below for details). Needless to say he is not a happy camper. I am trying to fix his Wallstreet so that he has something to work on and from its' symptoms I believe that the PMU needs to be reset, but pressing the reset combination written on the back doesn't seem to be working. Could someone send me specific instructions? It would be much appreciated. Or if you read the next paragraph with the specific symptoms and have another idea, please let me know that too. Specifically the symptoms of the Wallstreet are: Screen stays black, no battery charge indication on the little lights on the side, no HD noise, no chime, etc. Pressing the reset sequence written on the back results in the PB alternating between the fan running at full speed with the green power light on and, after pressing, the powerbook sitting there appearing totally dead. Pressing the power button alone has not effect. I have removed the battery and held down the reset sequence for a couple of minutes with no effect other than that mentioned above. Any other ideas appreciated. Aside: Three down, none to go. Computed #1 is an iBook that is covered under Apple's recall program. The screen failed as is covered and I was able to start it up in Firewire target disk mode and transfer his data to comptuer # 2 - the Wallstreet mentioned above which worked for less than 24hrs. Apple is sending a box for the iBook which will be here on Monday. Computer #3 is another iBook that we borrowed for his use from a lab cart of ibooks at school (yes, with permission). Although we weren't able to get his data off the Wallstreet, he was using this quite successfully until a student tripped over the cord running from his desk and it slammed to the floor. Now it's both dead and broken. Needless to say he isn't allowed to borrow any more computers. Sorry for the length of this post, but I though folks might be interested in the story and I could really use some help with the Wallstreet. Thanks!

Spinning Beachball on Pismo w/ Panther
Hi all - I just re-subscribed to this list to ask this questions, so apologies if this has recently been asked. I just installed Panther on my wife's Pismo last weekend and for the most part she and I are very pleased with it. We are having one recurring problem that I would like some help with though. My wife connects to a server at her school and has shut down a couple of times without disconnecting and then brought the PB home. With Jaguar this was no problem but now when she restarts in Panther she is presented with the neverending spinning beachball of death as it looks for the server. We can't seem to get it to stop looking for the server and can't get to the finder, although we can open some applications. I have trashed the recent servers folder, run fsck (which helped the next time we restarted), repaired permissions, etc., but would appreciate some feedback from someone more knowledgeable than I am about network stuff. Is there a file that I can trash? Some preference pane? Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks! Sam Strong Henley Middle School -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: USB Mouse quirk with OS X? - Logitech
Eric Wrote: I swear this Pismo is possessed. I now have a mouse which only works in OS 9, and then only after OS 9 has got half way through the boot sequence. Early in the boot process only the trackpad causes the cursor to move. It's only after the icons appear (presumably some bus initialisation or driver loading) that the mouse becomes responsive. Tomorrow I'll test it on my tower to see if it'll work in OS X there. Well, it's not the Pismo. The BW does the exact same thing and ignores the mouse in OS X (though, it recognises it an USB device). Does anyone know if this is something peculiar to Logitech mice? Thanks, Eric. I use this same mouse on a variety of computers including my wife's Pismo, a G3 DT, and an iMac, so perhaps I can comment. The behavior of the mouse in OS 9 on the Pismo is normal since USB support is not found in the ROM it must wait for the extensions to load before it sees the mouse. In X you have to install the Logitech software download before the mouse will be fully functional. This download is not included on the CD that comes with the mouse, but is fairly easy to find on the Logitech site if memory serves. It then appears in the System Preferences pane at the very bottom under additional stuff (OK, that's not what it's called, but I don't have an OS X computer handy here at work - something like that though). Then you open this preference pane and set the buttons from there. I am confused though when you say that the mouse is ignored in X. Without the Logitech software installed the mouse is still seen for me. The cursor will move and the buttons will all operate as a single click. I just have to install the software to enable the scroll wheel and programmable clicks. Does the mouse not even move the cursor for you? By the way, I really love this mouse. I have three now and have never had the least bit of problem with any of them. Even my wife became addicted to them! I got them each on sale at our local Office Depot for a measly $14.99, which is a great price for an optical two button wheel mouse in my book (and no, I have no affiliation with either Office Depot or Logitech). I suppose that this is slightly off topic, so please feel free to e-mail me off list if you want to continue to troubleshoot, etc. Sam Strong, Henley Middle School -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Slightly OT: Scanning Software Question
Hi All - Got a software question for you. My wife wants to use an Epson 1200photo scanner with her Pismo running 9.1. She already has it set up with Omnipage pro to do text and really likes it. She needs to scan photo's, tables, images now and we are looking for a nice and simple scanning program to use with the scanner and 9.1. She will mostly be scanning pictures/charts/graphs from documents and pasting them in other Appleworks documents (she's a teacher). We think that even PhotoDeluxe is overkill for this and puts too many extentions, etc on the PB. Before you suggest upgrading to OS X and using the very nice and simple to use image capture program that comes with it, please be assured that I have suggested this and it is not an option for her at this point. So does anyone know of a simple scanning program for saving images that's compatible with 9.1, simple to use, and twain compliant for the Epson 1200 Perfection Photo scanner? Any help would be much appreciated and would help immensely in making me look good in this situation! Sam Strong Charlottesville, Virginia -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Personal Laserwriter printing from Pismo
Hi again all - Just a note to say thanks to all of you who responded and helped to get my wife's Pismo printing to the old Personal Laserwriter through my G3 DT. I ended up connecting the two computers with a crossover cable and enabling share this printer in the laserwriter set-up menu and installing the printer share extension on the Pismo. Works like a charm - and I already had everything that I needed! Thanks again to all who responded. Sam Strong Charlottesville, Virginia -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
