G-Books Google List
Hello everyone. Twice, I have received personal email (blasted to individuals signed up for the google group I think) about issues with the google groups list. List nannies - get your act together - some people seem to be having trouble signing up and once signed up they have no clue as to how to unsubscribe. I had to figure it out myself, since we are given very little instruction. I wanted to use the same email as on the maclaunch server so I used the email signup option (send an email to: g-books- [EMAIL PROTECTED]). That worked fine, except that when I went to the google group page: http://groups.google.com/group/g-books I was told I was not a member. So, I scratched my head and sent a message about this to the list (maclaunch), but got no useful response. The light bulb went off and I realized that I had to sign in online to get into the google group (even though I was already subscribed!!! - got the confirmation email), so I created an account (duh!). All is well now. BUT I would like that people not cull our individual email addresses for their own uses!!! Turtle-Bear -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Moving to Google Groups
I decided to go this route, because I want to use the same email address for the list as I use now. I am told I am subscribed when I click on the confirmation link in an email I received, but I am not receiving any posts and whenever I go to http://groups.google.com/group/g-books I am told I cannot post messages because I am not a member - what gives? I do have a Gmail account, but I don't want to receive list email at that email address. So, now that I am subscribed how do I change my preferences?

Re: http://lowendmac.com/musings/06/0109.html
Are literally using a magnifying glass? How about using the built in zoom function of OS X? It may take some getting used to it, but I have found it valuable. I'm using Panther, so here are my instructions: Go to System Preferences-Universal Access-Seeing-Turn On Zoom In this window you will see the key commands for zooming in and out. I have my 15-inch PowerBook set to its native resolution of 1280 X 854. Also, in Safari's prefs you can set a default text size that will work for most websites.

Yes! Start up from your Panther Install CD and somewhere in the menu bar there is a reset password selection.

When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the spinning gear. When the Installer appears, choose Installer Reset Password.

That's when I noticed that when I clicked on appletalk control pan in classic, it said the application or control pan is not supported in classic How can that be when it was installed with OS 9.2.1 Each update to the OS does make improvements including improvements to the Classic environment, but I can't tell you anything specific. I am just working from my own experience. I hardly ever use Classic these days - only for some old MacDraw II layouts. There are several control panels that are not used under Classic because OS X provides the services, AppleTalk being one of them. Turtle-Bear -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Reasons that Appletalk can't be activated?
First off, I'd recommend going to 10.3.9 - works fine on my Pismo. We have a fairly similar setup, though the Pismo is retired to occasional use. We have an old HP4MP connected via iPrint. Just for trouble shooting's sake, create a new network location with just ethernet (turn off everything else: modem, IR, etc. in Show-Network Port Configurations) and make sure AppleTalk is active and then click Apply Now. In the Application-Utilities folder, open Printer Setup Utility. If your printer is there, select it and click DELETE in the toolbar. Then click ADD and in the drop sheet choose AppleTalk. Hopefully your Apple printer will show up. Whether the printer shows up in the Printer Setup Window depends on the drivers installed with the OS. There is an optional printer driver installer on the Panther install disk that you may have to try. It installs older stuff (like for my Epson 740). Good luck - let us know what is happening.

To make appletalk active open network prefs click on the appletalk tab then select the make appletalk active checkbox. when I go back to that, it is selected!

Re: How to clone desktop's OS9 to PB?
On Apr 21, 2005, at 4:52 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been struggling trying to clone my desktop OS9 system ( apps/data) on my PB to make it my main computer. I've tried so many things I don't even remember them all. Some 'gotchas' I do remember are that some control panels get moved because they're not compatible with Classic mode and there seems to be a Classic folder as well as an OS9 folder (System ?). Desktop: 7500, xlr8 G3, 333MHz OS9.2.2 (under xpostfacto) and the PB is a Titanium G4 1GHz 15 OS9.2.2. In case it matters my OSX is 10.3 but my first need is to replicate the functionality of the desktop as I migrate/learn/upgrade to OSX. Hi Al: There should be only one OS 9 folder on your PB unless you have more than one partition, in which case, technically you can have more, but really, only ONE OS 9 system folder is recommended, so you can remove the one already installed. I'll assume you have the original install disks for your PB so you can restore it if needed. Classic needs at least OS 9.1, with 9.2.2 recommended - I don't think Panther has changed this requirement - anyone please pipe in on this... I have had success just copying the OS 9 folder over (there is no concern about invisible files in OS 9). On startup of Classic OS X will install what ever files it needs to run Classic. The next time you start up Classic, hold the space key down to bring up Extension Manager. Edit your start up set there. You can also go to System Preferences-Classic-Advanced-Start Up and Other Options and start up Extension Manager from there. You can experiment with what start up set works best for you under Classic. Remember to save whatever original set up you had so you can refer back to it, during testing.

No volume level adjustment has any affect on the start-up chime. I used the slider in Sys Prefs pane to (1) lowest before off, (2) all the way down to off, and (3) muted sound, then restarted and each time chime was very loud. Once desktop comes up, the volume seems to be where I last set it, which it still quite loud at the lowerst setting. Previously, I set the volume to three segments using the keyboard volume keys for average comfortable listening for myself. Now, one segment is too loud. I am quite stimied by this. My Pismo is over 4 years old now, and a couple times recently the battery has completely died on me before I could charge it. I think it even died once beyond the point of holding the Pismo in Sleep mode. I think the volume anomaly started soon after that incident. So, I wonder if the internal battery (PRAM) became drained as well, and is now shot. Scott Sure sounds like a PRAM battery issue. How long have you allowed the Pismo to charge undisturbed?

Dance through the OS Xs
I got my PowerBook G3 400 (Pismo) back in August 2000. It was running 9.0.2 then. I have since done the wonderful dance through the OS Xs: 10.0/10.1 (made me cry because I am not a techy at all, NOT ready for prime time), 10.2 Jaguar (at last a real stable, easy to use OS X!!!) and then 10.3 Panther (my love only grows - it runs even faster than Jaguar did!). I have the Tiger disk in the other room (Tiger-prerelease is installed onto our dual G4 450 Power Mac - we are small developers) and I may install it on the Pismo after I get back from Macworld Expo San Fran. OR (more likely) I will FINALLY upgrade my PowerBook. After 4 and a half years, I think I deserve a new computer that can run the newest OS with lightening speed (Halo, here I come...). I have a 8600 in the back room in case I want to run OS 8.1, 8.6 or 9.1 or my old but very good SCSI HP scanner. I have a PB 540 in the kitchen running 7.5.5 nicely as my recipe book. We all cohabitate quite nicely.

Took me 10 minutes to figure out which key that might be. On my recent Apple keyboards I have: control, option (with a tiny alt in the upper left corner), what Apple calls the Command key that has an Open-Apple in the lower left corner and the cloverleaf in the lower right corner, space bar, Command, option, control The alt was added to the option key so that people used to pc machines would know what the key did The escape key just has esc on it. I suspect that the escape key you have is due to some EU decree for the multiple language situation. Marcin means that the symbols he/she describes are used in the menus such as in Apple-Force Quit. The esc key in Force Quit is depicted with a symbol: a circle with an arrow pointing out. When I first started using OS X I didn't know what the heck that symbol was. In the Finder go to the Help menu and type in 'Symbols for special keys' and go to that help document to see all the symbols for keys.

Re: Applecare for Powerbooks
On Dec 17, 2004, at 12:13 PM, Dyna wrote: About the time the G3 PowerBook production was winding down Apple limited AppleCare protection to the first 3 years of life. I take that action as an admission that Apple's hardware is now so unreliable and difficult to repair (compare hard drive replacement on a Pismo to the latest AlBook) that they'd lose money if they guaranteed it past 3 years. Apple may also be trying to manipulate if not force us to buy a new Mac every 3 years. I paid $2200 for my Pismo only because I expected a quality product that would last at least 5 years. After 3 years I am left with a laptop so unreliable I don't take it out of my house. Suffice to say, I won't be waiting in line at the Apple Store to buy a new PowerBook or probably anything else Apple. I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate experiences with Apple products. My Pismo experience has been totally different. I bought AppleCare and had a hard drive replaced in the second year (about 2/3 of the cost of the AC warranty). I could have gotten my battery replaced as well during the last year of AC, but flaked out and had let AC expire before I took care of it. The BTI battery I have has been a great purchase, though - still giving almost 3 hours after more than 1.5 years. It's had a couple of RAM upgrades, larger HD drive and an Airport installed, so I have been in and out of it's guts alot. I travel everywhere with it, because it is my workhorse. My Pismo is 4.5 years old (the design is 5 years old) and has been my best Apple purchase so far. My future iBook or PowerBook will also have AC, but how do I pry that Pismo out of my hands?

Re: Pismo disaster - please help!
Pressing down hard on the processor to reseat it with the upper RAM chip installed is not good for the RAM chip or the slot that holds the RAM, so I hope that was not happening. Also, in every hard drive replacement guide I have seen for the Pismo, the processor must be removed to access the hard drive (see Pismo User Manual and Service Source manual), so that part was okay. As Kyle said get a new RAM chip and see how that works.

Re: dark area on Pismo screen
I just wanted to make a comment (and I am top responding because that is Mail.app's default and I don't know how to change it... I am lazy butt too!). I've had my Pismo since Sept. 2000 and noticed after a few months of use that the screen would be pinkish on waking from sleep. There was a lot of doom and gloom at the time on various lists and discussion boards, speculation that the Pismo screens were bad. Some folks apparently went an got screen or back light replacements. Like I said, my Pismo would wake from sleep pinkish, but within a few minutes the screen was back to normal brightness and color, so I just lived with it. I haven't had the strong pinkish tone since using Jaguar and now Panther. The Pismo is darker in the lower left corner when waking from sleep, but again, within a minute or two the brightness evens out. Does your Pismo do this, is it okay after a few minutes? If so I don't think there is much of a problem. Turtle-Bear On Jun 24, 2004, at 11:10 AM, Tom Wolfe wrote: The lower left hand corner of my Pismo is darker than the rest of the screen.

Re: another wireless question
Dan, We use the snow Airport base station (not extreme). It was fairly easy to set up (followed directions for most secure - for wireless - network). We made a few stumbling mistakes, but finally got it working. Works nicely with our Qwest DSL. DSL Modem-Router---Ethernet Switch---ABS The above ethernet switch is distribution for ethernet throughout our house. I've seen lots of talk about wireless 802.11g PC cards and I would check out http://macwireless.com first if I was going to buy. Seems like a great website. BTW, for our purposes Airport Extreme = 802.11g. You just can't install an Airport Extreme card in a Pismo due to a different type of port and hardware protocol. So the only way to go for extreme speed is a PCMCIA wireless card. Can't actually help you because I haven't shopped yet. Can't help with OS 9 issues and wireless PC cards either, but the Airport card installed in my Pismo works fine on OS 9.2.2 and Jaguar/Panther.

Tom My Pismo also appears to have a problem with sleep and after a lot of playing around with it, I beginning to think it may relate to OS X. At first I suspected that my power manager board has a problem but I think now it may relate to network activity over airport. My problem is I can't get it to go to sleep at all. I haven't booted back into OS 9 to see if it's there as well, maybe give it a shot tonight. 10.2.3 on my Pismo. No problem sleeping. Going to sleep when Ethernet is connected than waking up and switching to AirPort, and vice versa. With Internet-based applications (Entourage, Safari) running or not. I haven't tested with PhotoShop 7, though, so I can't comment. But I have absolutely no sleep problem in all kind of configurations. There might be a specific pattern of apps or settings in your case and we would have to know it in order to test. I'm just providing my own pattern of use here so that with such and such, I don't have any sleep problem. Also running Pismo 10.2.3 and have had no sleep problems. I had minor problems getting the PB to sleep under earlier versions of Jaguar and OSX 10.1 but this rendition seems to work for the Pismo. Though, if I have a non-optical mouse attached it seems to not want to go to sleep the first time I put it to sleep and does not reliably go to sleep on its own when inactive.
