I don't think so, but it wouldn't hurt the situation.

Bluetooth Q

[David Rodriguez]

I've got a bluetooth question for someone knowledgeable.  I am using  
a G4 Ti book.   I'd like to have a better voip connection with Skype  
and go 'wireless' .   So I have been contemplating acquiring a  
bluetooth headset and bluetooth USB adapter.


My question is this.  Most of the bluetooth earpieces out there are  
bluetooth Version 1, which gives a 33' distance, but there are some  
bluetooth V. 2 adapters out there that work at 66'.   So if the V2  
adapter is transmitting at  66', will the V.1 earpiece work at that  
distance or be limited to 33'?  Not to confuse Bluetooth version with  
USB versions.


I suppose the V.2 earpieces won't be long before introduction so I  
could wait, but the price is right now for V.1 earpieces.


The other variable I may have is that I only have USB 1.1 on my book,  
unless I use a USB 2.0 Cardbus (which I have) and plug into that.  So  
not sure if I may get a bottleneck with the factory usb speed but  
that's another issue.


TIA

Dave

Re: further Lombard HD question

Yes, it does need to be a ATA-5 drive. I've tried a several newer ATA6

I would do a Pricegrabber search for ATA-5 drives

Re: Lombard won't boot

[David Rodriguez]

Tim,

What I grew to realize with my Lombard with the bad cache is that  
it's just much better and easier on the book to let it sleep  
overnight rather then shut down.  While the reset was no real hassle,  
allowing it to sleep is easier on the power switch anyhow, bad cache  
or not.So like with any system, once in a while I would reboot,  
just to clear things out.  And once a month, I began to use the fsck  
method as well as DiskWarrior, simply as a matter of preventative  
maintenance on both my desktop and book.  I do the same sleep  
overnight and maintenance with my new TiBook now.


 I never found the bad L2 cache to be an issue for me except when  
maybe the short time I was running OS9 on it, then it would give the  
alert at startup, which took a simple click of the mouse, as well as  
the reset.  It ran much better under Jaguar, then better under  
Panther, and even better under Tiger (which of course requires either  
XpostFacto or installing Tiger on the drive, while it is hooked up to  
another supported system).   So Caleb, definitely Panther is better  
then Jaguar but both ran well.  That said, since I now have a newer  
book, I have put my Lombard up for sale, and while it has been very  
dependable, I will be saying bye to it soon.


Dave

Also, I'm not sure if you are a victim of the Lombard issue with OS  
X that I am :)) but to get it to start I have to push the small  
reset button on the back of my Lombard before every start up. Works  
every time

Re: Lombard won't boot

[David Rodriguez]

Caleb,

Here's what to try.  Follow carefully.  Learned this from someone who  
knows.


Have you tried fsck method?

What you want to do is shut down or restart, hold down the Command  
and S key.  You will then get a bunch of text scrolling across the  
screen.  Once this starts, you can let off the keys.  It will  
continue until it stops and gives you a prompt.


Type in fsck -yMake sure you leave a space after the k.
Then push Enter.  Let it do its thing.  It will begin repairing any  
corrupted unix files used by OSX.  When it is done, you can do it  
again.  After its says repairs have been made, then type   logout


If you use a Journaled Disk, then you want to type infsck -f 
instead.   This will force repair.


The regular OSX  will then begin booting up.  You should then restart.

This has repaired some of the most major problems but instructions  
must be followed to the letter.  If anybody would like to add to this  
before Caleb uses it, please do.

Re: feet

[David Rodriguez]

One valuable aspect of having these feet is that they do provide a  
small amount of airflow underneath if being used on a flat surface.   
Simply keeping the bottom of the book from having direct contact with  
a solid surface allows excess heat to escape.  Some of the books  
provide hardly any so if you are replacing, it might be worthwhile  
finding some just a little taller then the originals.


A few weeks ago I noticed on ebay several people selling replacement  
feet.  Don't remember exactly where it was but some searching should  
produce if you need them.   I'm also going to be ordering a bunch of  
feet (much larger) soon for a project so maybe I can buy some that  
will fit most books too while I'm at it.

Re: putting recording on PB

[David Rodriguez]

I just noticed an app on VersionTracker called 'Audio Hijack'.  Might  
enable you to do exactly what you want.   This is an OSX App, but I  
don't recall off hand which OS you are using.


http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18611

There are several others there that you might try that have been  
around a while like Sound Recorder and Sound Studio, among others  
depending on your OS.

Re: putting recording on PB

[David Rodriguez]

Hi Amber,

I don't know if this will work, but using one of the sound recording  
applications, I wonder if by hooking up the phone jacks from your  
book to the outgoing jack of the answering machine, then playing msg,  
would transmit the voice msg to your book with Recording On?   I have  
not tried this and I don't believe there is any way to hurt any  
components anyhow, but it might be worth trying.   After all, sound  
does travel through the phone lines and your computer modem is  
designed to understand these signals.   May need to turn off DSL (if  
equipped) and turn on modem in Network Prefs.  Could require a few  
different tries using different settings.  Just an idea, no guarantees.


Dave




I would appreciate some suggestions on how to do the following:

I am canceling my regular phone service to have the digital phone  
service installed this weekend.
I have a couple of important messages that I HAVE to save from my  
voicemail and I am wondering how to do it.


I tried using the speakerphone to play the messages and then my  
iPod (with iTalk attachment) to record it but the sound quality is  
abysmal. So, I am wondering if anybody could possibly offer some  
recommendations ?


Thanks,

Amber

Re: Hot Lombard

[David Rodriguez]

Yeah, that's real hot.  One thing  you might check is where the heat  
may be originating.  Pretty easy to tell if under the dvd or just  
cpu.  If the underside of the dvd player is also 'real' hot, it may  
simply be venting towards hard drive and cpu and overloading fans.


Get some airspace underneath the laptop when in use.  As Andrew says,  
don't use a pillow.   With a Lombard, even a hard surface doesn't  
provide the best ventilation but it's better then a pillow for sure.   
You may be lucky that you didn't damage the processor at those  
temps.   As I recall, that is what leads to the damaged L2 Cache.   
You may also want to check that your fans are working properly, like  
no shorts or 'linted' up from long term pillow use.


Dave







Dear listers, and, more specifically, fellow Lombard users,

I've got my Lombard in my lap, as it virtually lives in my  
recliner. However, I was watching some video in VLC when I felt  
things getting hot. I then fired up TemperatureX and saw that my  
Lombard was running a smokin' 183 degrees Fahrenheit. Didn't even  
hear a fan, but I know there has to be on going, because it's  
dropped twenty-five degrees since I've been typing this email. Is  
this normal for a Lombard to get that hot?


Thanks,
Caleb

*All temperatures are CPU readings from TemperatureX.

Lombard Lockup

[David C Bennett II]

Hello group
I have a G3 lombard 400, MacOS 10.3.9, 512 MB Ram. I've been chasing a 
lockup problem for 9 months now. Under moderate to heave cpu load, it 
will lockup. This includes any kind of image rendering ie. photoshop, 
preview, exif viewer, etc. It has happened while 'optimizing' during 
updates, and caused a lot of trouble when it locked up while running 
cocktail. It works fine with iTunes and the DVD player in MacOS 9.2.2. 
Just video loads will it have trouble.

Any thoughts...

Re: Happy story

Oops, looks like he originally posted to the G-list.


Are,

Not that I have a similar issue but after I bought the Titanium G4,  
I was doing a little background research and came across this Apple  
page re white blotches on the screen.  Had a little trouble  
relocating but found it.  Its a Repair Extension Program but only  
deals with the Powerbook.  I didn't see any mention of ibooks.  Was  
your iBook exhibiting the same problem?


http://www.apple.com/support/powerbook/displayprogram/

Anyhow, glad they fixed it.


Took back my iBook G4 933 MHz to the store, because the screen had  
developed more and more whitish blotches. They put in a new screen  
at no charge, no questions asked!
(Here in Norway you have a years "right to complain" on top of the  
manufacturers 1-year warranty. I took it in the day before the two- 
year limit!)

Re: which ipod for a Pismo?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could please tell me which version of the
ipod/s would work with a 400 mhz G3 Pismo laptop, 512 mb ram, firewire

This question isn't quite as simple as one might think. It breaks  
down into two issues:


Interface: FW & USB
Your Pismo doesn't have USB2 so you'll want to avoid the new Video  
iPods (unless you buy a USB2 PC Card and this assumes the Pismo is  
compatible with Type II PC Cards, I don't recall offhand and all my  
docs are at work)


The Nano is also USB only but it works fine with USB1 computers, it  
is just slow to sync. (I'm doing this myself with my iMac at work.)  
Filling a 4GB Nano with USB1 takes a while - less than 2 hours more  
than an hour but I can't narrow it down any better. Since I generally  
change less than 200MB of music at a time this isn't an issue.


OS & iTunes:
You'll want to be running at least 10.2.8 and the newest version of  
iTunes (6). Apple specifies 10.3 as the minimum OS for the new iPods  
but it that's the first OS version compatible with USB2.

Re: Battery Care

[david]

my battery in my wallstreet was only registering a 50% capacity charge so 
i went to the macfixit page and reset my pmu as it suggested. now the 
wallstreet doesn't even see the battery. any ideas?


someone posted info about a battery restoring utility, does anyone know 
what it's called and where i can download it?


finally, what's the final word on whether or not it's a good idea to 
fully discharge your battery once a month or so?


thanks for all the help!

Re: No wakeup problem

[David Rodriguez]

Jim,

I've noticed similar behavior with my airport connection after I let  
the machine 'fall asleep' on its own.  But if I 'put' it to sleep, no  
such problem.  In fact, if after it falls asleep and I wake it up  
resulting in lost connection, I can 'put' it back to sleep, wake it  
up, and connection is fine.  Go figure.


I think there is some discussion on this in the Apple forums but I  
wasn't paying attention to it yet.  May look around this weekend.

2. Ethernet connection either slow or no go, but the airport  
connection does

work. (airport home, ethernet office.)

When I brought it into the shop it also was not booting all the  
way, which

it now does - they changed the logic board.


Before I bring it in again, do you have any fixes to suggest?

Antenna Adapter for Enterasys wireless card

[David Jones]

I have an Enterasys wireless card that I am using with my Lombard 400. 
The card has an external antenna port on it. I am wondering where I can 
get an adapter to plug an external antenna into this card. Any advice 
would be appreciated. Thanks,

You probably won't find any routers that are just 802.11b - g is  
pretty much the standard and compatible with the Airport card in your

I steer people away from Linksys, I've heard bad things about their

Oh boy do I agree here. We completely stopped carrying Linksys

Netgear highly as well as Apples Airport stations for the

said for one stop support. There is nothing worse then getting stuck  
on the Support Merry Go Round of - you'll need to talk to Apple about  
that problem - you'll need to talk to XYZ about that problem.


I'd also recommend just powering the unit up, plugging it into your

turn security on soon afterwards.

Re: Superdrive Question?

[David Rodriguez]

You already said that. :)

Yep, it is possible it is plain broke.  The guy I bought it from said  
it stopped working, well when he dropped a gallon paint can on top of  
that corner (with the screen open).  Yeah, I pictured a totally  
crushed corner too.  But, no serious damage to the palm rest although  
it did impact.  Though not too bad, it is already repaired with a  
little glue.There was no cd in the drive and I have learned that  
this drive uses the same lens for both cd and dvd, so that would  
indicate the cd components went bad.  But I still wonder if the drive  
failure had something to do with installation of some software, but  
no telling at this point.   There were clearly some issues with  
10.3.9.  I still am going to try and get this one working but will be  
picking up a superdrive either way.


Thnx,

Dave

It's possible the drive just plain broke. I have a 1GHz 15"  
Aluminum and the
Combo drive crapped out on me over a year ago, with the exact same  
symptoms
as yours (DVD reads data and played movies, CD didn't read or  
write). Apple

replaced it under warranty for me.

You can add a SuperDrive to yours without any new hardware  
required. I've
purchased and installed them for customers and they work nicely.  
Here's a

link to OWC. They have a good selection available:

Re: Superdrive Question?

Interesting.  Dan A had already sent me the file, but it doesn't open  
as a text file if it is 'saved' to disk.  If it is just drug, then it  
does open as text file for me.


Either way, it didn't work after restart.  So much for that Apple  
forum suggestion...

Found that one here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=231004&tstart=15

I have it, it's a mostly text file that looks like it's a listing  
of some of the audio tracks I've played off CD's in iTunes.:



...snip ?i?n?'?t? ? M?e? ?B?a?b?egrup???


This wouldn't have anything to do with whether the CD works or not.

Re: Superdrive Question?

[David Rodriguez]

But yes RB, they are audio cd's (with data files on them).  Resetting  
the pmu didn't work.


I am running Tiger 10.4.3.  I am wondering if anybody has this  
file?   It is called 'CD Info.cidb' file.  It is your in Users/Home/ 
Library/Preferences folder.  Someone on the Apple site forum said it  
get corrupted but I don't even have it.  I suspect it gets created  
after using some form of cd format, but this powerbook may have been  
upgraded since the drive stopped working, so said file may never have  
been generated.  My guess anyhow...


So now wondering if anybody has it in their folder.  Thanks,
Dave


Actually I have several things to try yet re the combo drive.   
These were data disks so really wasn't considering whether there  
was an audio disk issue.  Apparently there are some files though  
that can get corrupted that I can try removing.  Apparently  
resetting the pmu may also have an impact according to the Apple  
web site.  About to shut down and try that next.


The thing is, yeah I may fix the combo drive, BUT I REALY want  
to be able to burn dvd's on this too.  So I am wanting to take the  
opportunity to upgrade to a Superdrive.  I can always sell the  
combo drive off after I fix it if it happens.


Dave




David...

I'd say a critical question is, "Why does the DVD work, but the  
audio CD does
not?" I'm assuming the DVD audio is fine, correct? If so, then  
clearly there
is no laser registration issue, and the fact that DVD audio works  
indicates the
audio circuitry in the drive is fine. Are you sure there is not  
another,

simpler--but, perhaps less obvious--issue?

Superdrive Question?

[David Rodriguez]

G-day all,

I purchased a used G4 800 DVI Powerbook this last weekend.   
Everything runs fine and its in great shape, except the Combo drive.   
It was damaged by prior owner.  DVD still works but no cd performance  
at all.


So wondering about compatibility of Superdrives.  Specifically, does  
anybody know if a Superdrive from an Imac G5 would fit?  If it's just  
a matter of exchanging exterior drive mounting hardware, not a  
problem.  If there are physical orientation or size differences of  
the drive itself, then that would be an issue.  Obviously they are  
both slot loading.


Could use the information relatively soon.  Thanks,

Dave

The Net Nanny might slap your wrists OTOH, as far as I'm concerned,  
the Mini is a PowerBook without a monitor or battery. The designs are  
that similar. The mini should feel snappier than your Lombard. The  
mini I had in my office for tests was snappier than the two iBooks  
I'd been working on.


Repairing permissions ain't gonna do anything. I'd get MacJanitor or  
a similar program to run the chron based utilities that don't  
normally get run since our Macs tend to be asleep or off when they  
run. I'd also kill caches.


Finally, look at his auto start utilities and see what he's running  
that might explain a sluggish feeling. With the RAM he has he should  
be able to run one good-sized program like Word or Photoshop  
Elements, or a couple compact programs without the computer feeling  
slow.

Re: Intel Macs (Was USB2 for Pismo - Use a PCMCIA Card?)

[david]

Not all G5 PowerMacs are water cooled - though that may have changed  
with the dual core machines. Actually my G5 dualie runs cooler than  
my Pentium machine (judged both by reported processor temps and the  
heat from the fans and the fans on my dualie almost run more than the  
lowest speed.) My aluminum PowerBook does run a good deal warmer than  
the Centrino notebook I have at work. However, before getting the  
Centrino machine I had a P4 notebook that ran just as hot.


What I'm looking forward to is a Mac notebook that gets more than 2  
hours from battery. The only thing I like about my Acer notebook is  
the fact that I get just over 5 hours use of it before having to swap  
batteries.

I should clarify that my G3 runs cooler than any of my PC notebooks

decent temperature. I honestly think that Apple on x86 is the right  
move, but I just hope it's smoother than the 68K to PPC transition.  
As an Apple fan, I'll remain loyal for a long time, however. I have

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu1
and press return.



David--tried your suggestion.

I don't do a lot of mucking around in Terminal, but typed in what you
gave.  I got:

2005-12-13 11:03:52.296 defaults[1271]
Rep argument is not a dictionary
Defaults have not been changed.


Any idea what I need to do/change?

thanks!




There is a space missing in the original suggestion, between  
"IncludeDebugMenu" and "1" (or "0").


Luis Sequeira




Thanks

It should be:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1 to turn the Debug  
Menu on and:


defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0 to turn the Debug  
Menu off.

Re: Safari problem ?

[David Harris]

Hi Amber:

I've noticed that Safari support has improved overall.  But there are  
times when it just doesn't get the results that I need.  Much of it  
has to do with the designs of the web pages, which may or may not  
have an effect upon what you are trying to do.


However, Apple has an interest gem in the Debug menu.  Quit Safari  
and open Terminal (Library > Application Support) and type in the  
following:


defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu1
and press return.

Relaunching Safari gives you a new menu choice, Debug.  It has a  
plethora of cool functions.  Select in the Debug menu User Agent, and  
you can choose from a list of browsers, which includes Microsoft  
Internet Explorer 6.0 (MSIE).  Keep in mind that you are not using  
MSIE, but allowing Safari to receive certain information that would  
only be exchanged if the web browser "identifies" itself as MSIE.


If you implement this option, it may prove two things.  If it does  
work when Safari identifies itself as another browser, it will prove  
that eBay's web design is not too Mac friendly.  If it doesn't work,  
then Safari may need some modifications that may come in the future  
or you should consider not checking the box to keep you logged in.


If you change your mind about the Debug menu, quit Safari, open  
Terminal and type the following:


defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu0
and press return.

Relaunch Safari, and the Debug menu should be gone.

Good luck.

Hi,

not poor typing on my part.


Ebay is a prime example...not only do I have trouble signing in but

Any ideas as to what may be going on ?  I would appreciate any

Re: Titanium Hinge Replacement

[David Rodriguez]

Thanks Bruce,

I had googled but came up with a variety of 'experiences' so was  
hoping to receive some more first-hand feedback here.


I guess the only other question I have for anyone is if there is any  
good or bad feedback on the Rev 1 Titaniums?  In this case a G4 500.

Re: G3 Lombard

[David Rodriguez]

Hi Caleb,

I am using a Lombard G3 400 with a bad processor L2 cache.  I have  
been using it with little problem for the last 5 months this way.   
There is a hassle that comes with it.  Anytime you shut down, you  
must first press the reset button before booting.  In OS9, you will  
get an alert at startup.  In OSX, no alerts.  I am using OS Tiger now  
with no additional problems.  Speed is tolerable.

Titanium Hinge Replacement

Wondering if I could get some quick feedback on the complexity of

Just never been in a Titanium.

Re: Lombard/Tiger/Install Q's

[David Rodriguez]

Hello people of the G-Book list, I have been following this thread,
for I too have a Lonbard that I am trying to upgrade to X.4.3 At the
present time it's sitting at X.2.8 because whenever I attempt to go
beyond X.2.8 it locks up on the gray screen. The stats for the Book  
are

as follows: 400MHz processor, 6gig hard drive, 128mb of ram, which I
believe is the reason X.3 has trouble loading plus the size of the
harddrive, standard video card, cd-rom/dvd-rom.
My question is does anyone else on the list consider the ram to be the
issue here. It runs X.2.8 without a hitch but it sure would be nice to
take it to the limit.
The other thing is, I don't want to have to use XPF on this machine  
if I

don't have to, so I am willing to keep it at X.3.9 if that's what it
takes to not have to use XPF. So what's the verdict.
Thanks for any and all assistance in this matter.
Brad


Hi Brad,

As someone who has just upgraded to 10.4.3 on his Lombard, I'll  
respond while it's fresh.


I believe your post makes many of us wonder if you are installing  
Tiger with the drive in the Lombard?  The only way you CAN do this IS  
if you use XPF because the Lombard is NOT supported by Tiger.   So  
you either need to install Tiger with the drive connected to a  
supported machine's IDE Bus, in a Firewire or USB2 enclosure.


Ironically, Tiger refused to install with the drive in either of the  
firewire or USB2 enclosure's I had.  Not sure why.  I have formatted  
many an IDE drive in both of these so can't give a definitive answer  
at this point why some work and some don't.  Might be the bridgeboard  
used?  Actually I had a third firewire enclosure but it was just  
easier to hook it up to my IDE BUS and it worked first try this way.


I simply removed the hard drive from the Lombard, hooked it up to my  
Sawtooth IDE Bus using a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE Cable Adapter as Master at  
the end of the cable.  You can pick these adapters up on ebay for  
$10-12.  Booted the machine with the Tiger DVD, then installed Tiger  
directly over Panther.  Of course I backed up my Lombard data before  
doing so.  Some advocate doing a clean install of Tiger, but as far  
as I can tell, there was no need for this on my end.  Your mileage  
may vary.  The only glitch I had was a well documented third party  
software conflict which, once I removed it, it quickly fixed the  
shutdown problem I had.


Well I might have addressed more then you had questions about but  
couldn't tell from your post if you were using XPF or if you had  
removed the drive?   You DEFINITELY want more ram then you have.  I'm  
sure others will have more info if you can clarify a bit more.

Re: Lombard/Tiger/Install Q's

[David Rodriguez]

Just to report that the install went smooth.  Operating system work  
just fine, however did have a problem with not being able to shut  
down.  Was forced to remove power sources in order to shut down.   
Went through process of elimination and repairs and searching the  
net.  The last possibility turned out to be Intech Speedtools.  Turns  
out a few of it's files conflict with the Shutdown sequence.   
QuickBackStartupItem and SpeedtoolsDTStartupItem both need to updated  
or removed.  I simply removed for now and the problem went away.


So now happily running Tiger 10.4.3.  Thanks guys for the initial  
input.  Full steam ahead!  (OK, I'm sitting here watching the  
Poseidon Adventure).

Re: Lombard/Tiger/Install Q's

The Lombard will run 10.4.3 and the updates can be done from the 
Lombard itself. That's how I did mine.

Re: Lombard/Tiger/Install Q's

[David Rodriguez]

Dave, why not into getting the L2 cache replaced ? Daystar or Wegener 
can do it. With no L2 , X probably runs like a dog (a bad dog at 
that).


Mad Dog


Hey Mad Dog,

I've been running 10.3.9 with a bad cache for 6 months.  Actually runs 
pretty good so have been content and can't complain.  Definitely not a 
dog but obviously could always be faster too.  When I need to get into 
more intensive work, I can simply jump to the desktop.  Fixing the 
Lombard also hasn't been in the budget as I have been dedicating all my 
extra funds and energy into developing a new computer product.  Can't 
say what it is yet but hope to launch soon.  After it reaches the 
marketplace, I then hope to go out and buy a new laptop.  So until 
then, the Lombard will do.


I guess the big questions I still need to answer are: Will the Lombard 
handle all the way up to 10.4.3?   And, is it best to run the updates 
from the Lombard itself or while the drive is in a supported system?  
(That is, assuming I don't go the XPF route).


Thnx,

Dave

Re: Lombard/Tiger/Install Q's

[David Rodriguez]

Hey Will,

I seem to have a slight dilemma in regards to xpf.

It requires you to turn on the L2 Cache.  Problem is, my L2 cache is 
failed on my processor.  So don't know where to go from here?


I wonder if XPF simply allows direct installation on the Lombard or 
actually enables usage?


The known workaround for putting Tiger on Lombards is to simply remove 
the hard drive, hook it up to a supported machine via firewire or ide, 
and then do the install, then put the drive back in the lombard.   With 
my L2 cache issue, it may be best for me to go this route unless there 
are other issues.


Still reading xpf info and forum to learn more.

Dave

Lombard/Tiger/Install Q's

[David Rodriguez]

Hey all,

Well I've been running Panther on my Lombard with a bad L2 cache for a 
while now.  Have had no problems as long as I remember to push reset 
before booting if I shut down.


I guess its time to upgrade to Tiger now however.  I've looked through 
the archives since September but couldn't find any posts addressing it. 
 So being the Lombard is not supported for Tiger, I have a few 
questions for those running Tiger on their Lombards.  I will be 
removing the hard drive and either using the firewire connection or 
simply install it directly to the ide bus using a 2.5" drive adapter.


1) What's the maximum version of Tiger able to run on the Lombards w/o 
glitches?  Can I upgrade all the way up to 10.4.3?


2) After installing the base system, do the upgrades also need to be 
run from a drive hooked up via firewire on a supported system?  Or can 
the upgrades simply be run with the drive back inside the Lombard?



Thanks In Advance,

Dave

Check the PC and make sure that, in Printer Settings, Properties, the  
printer is shared.  You may need to know the exact address of your  
printer, if it is indeed networked.


Though I cannot say if this will work as I have worked with PCs that

Re: Recommended external DVD burner?

[David Brostoff]

MacWorld had reviews of 16X drives earlier this 
year (you can google it or search directly on 
macworld.com). The LaCie D2 16X DVD±RW was their 
pick for value (Plextor had a faster, though much 
more expensive drive).


Based on MacWorld and other sources, I bought the 
LaCie and have been very satisfied. The unit is 
very solidly built. I used Pricegrabber.com as a 
convenient way of finding a low price.


For media, I recommend Taiyo Yuden 8X (or 16X, 
but only for non-critical data; and remember that 
8X DVD is about 6 times faster than 8X CD) on 
Rima.com.

jumping cursor

[David Freels]

When I'm running Safari, at some point the cursor starts jumping 
wildly all over the screen. I have a saved search for 
"com.apple.Safari.plist" which I trash, empty trash and re-start 
Safari--until the jumping starts up again after about 30 minutes.


This has been an on-going problem since I upgraded to OS X 10.4 and 
still exists with the upgrade yesterday to 10.4.3.


Does anyone else have similar issues? What did you do to resolve them?

Re: iPod logistics...

[david]

Strictly speaking, this isn't the right site for this question, I  
think. Authorization allows you to play tunes from the iTunes store.  
It has nothing with copying back and forth. The iPod and iTunes  
allows music syncing in one direction only. If you want to move tunes  
from the iPod to another computer, the most convenient way is to use  
a third party program. Go to your favorite download site and search  
on 'iPod' and look at the offerings. There are free and shareware  
titles to do what you want.

greetings;

I recently bought a used iPOd from a  coworker, it's been fine, but  
I've started using it on 2 different computers-- and I can't move  
music off the iPod onto the second computer.


I thought that that was the point of "authorizing" each computer-  
it would know it ws you and let you do what you want.


Is this an example DRM working the way it should (restricting my  
fair use right  :) or am I missing something?


There are lots of ways around this, but I'm not sure I care that  
much at this time.


Thanks,

Re: 12" Powerbook G4: an AppleCare and AppleStore assessment

[david]

Tobias - sorry - wasn't clear in my meaning - if all else fails you  
should be able to send the computer to Small Dog. Lakewood isn't too  
far from you (well, depending on where you are in Denver, it could be  
an hour or so I guess. Anyway, my BIL is a Denver cop and he thinks  
highly of an Apple dealer there. It is called the Local Computer  
store or Your Neighborhood Computer Store or something homey like that.

Re: 12" Powerbook G4: an AppleCare and AppleStore assessment

[david]

Tobias - if a local dealer isn't viable, you might try Small Dog.  
Besides being a mail order vendor, they are also a local shop (if you  
are in Vermont) and I used their services this summer when my wife's  
iBook acted up on our motorhome trip.

That's only if your local reseller isn't a bunch of arrogant  
elitist pinheads who think that customer service is when they've  
whacked all the tennis balls at our head, and its time for us to  
throw them back for another go-round.


My, we have a lot of pent up anger, don't we? Perhaps you need to  
find a few dead monitors and smash them?




IMO, from my vantage point as  a consumer, Apple gave the resellers  
nearly 20 years to get the retail stuff right, then gave up and  
created the Apple Stores out of self defense.


Oh, Apple Corp made no mistakes while the local resellers played  
silly buggers? I don't think so. Oh, I know there were some bad  
stores, there always will be. But the three major resellers in my  
area are quite good.


And you ARE one of the few who think the Apple Stores are a  
disaster in the making. Most of the rest of the world thinks that  
they were a brilliant marketing move that's paying real dividends  
for Apple in both bottom line sales and mind share.


They certainly have done a good job of attracting purchasers - many  
of them from the local resellers. When I sell a Mac to a customer the  
customer registers that computer - now Apple knows that person is an  
Apple customer. My customer which Apple is now free to poach. In the  
last two years we lost several large clients to Apple direct -  
because Apple is able to undercut us. And don't tell me our prices  
are too high. Apple sold product to those clients for LESS than we  
bought it from Apple.


I have three influential faculty members who are switchers because  
of visits to the Apple store. (One is the Dean of the college)


Also, don't forget, the Apple store is geared mainly to supporting  
new sales and systems. How many years has it been since Apple  
shipped a G4 tower that could accept an internal Zip (don't   
forget, neither the Quicksilver or the MDD models could take an  
internal Zip. The last one that could was the Digital Audio)


Bruce - if you knew anything about the Apple Genius you'd know he is  
supposed to be familiar with current and past product. Spend some  
time in a store and you'll find plenty of G4 computers being used and  
upgraded.


Next time, try leaving your attitude at the door, huh?

Find yourself a certified Apple repair service other than Apple. And  
the next time you are in the market for a computer think twice before  
buying directly from Apple.


BTW, am I the only one who thinks that the whole Apple Store thing is  
turning into a disaster in the making? When my local Apple store  
opened the 'genius' truly was incredibly knowledgeable. The last time  
I went I overheard the 'genius' say things I'd expect to hear from a  
BestBuy sales-idiot. He was completely clueless about the G3 iBook  
repair extension and didn't know the G4 tower could accommodate an  
internal zip drive.

Dear Listas/essas,

I have been lurking mostly, but recent events warrant some verbage. I
apologize right away, if (when) this gets lengthy.

On my annual vacation this year my Powerbook G4 died (with some 500
not-yet-backed-up photos on it). Here is my story to this point and my
request for help:

1. Powerbook died and won't go beyond a grey backlit screen on startup
2. took it to "Gravis" in Cologne, Germany (great place!, competent,
helpful 'Apple Service Provider' like we used to have here). They  
put in

a system disk and confirmed my suspicion that the Hard Drive has died
(it had been getting progressively slower on startup).
3. After return home this week I went to the local Apple Store and  
they

informed me I needed to get an appointment to speak to a "genius" and
that the genius bar was closed for the day (this was Friday night).
4. I called 1-800-APL-CARE on Saturday morning (one: it hung up on me
after about 5 mins of the 8 mins announced (max) wait time; two: after
15 minutes waittime of 10 mins announced (max) I got Eric, who  
requested
I insert a system disk and wouldn't believe the description of  
above No.

2.) - I could not find my system disk other than an old X.1 which he
deemed not an option since I was last running X.3.9 ... After my  
request
was denied to connect me to a repair dispatch to determine whether  
there

is a way to obtain the damaged Hard Drive for Data recovery, I gave up
and decided to go back to the Apple Store.
5. Went to the Apple Store on Saturday AM, signed up for an  
appointment

with a genius, got a pager (this alone took 10 to 15 minutes, although
the genius bar was not apparently busy) - the appointment was showing
11:30 (about 1 hour after my arrival), but I got buzzed at 11:10 (most
people are probably not patient enough to wait too long and I was to
find out immediately why:
6. The genius I spoke with mentioned that my only option for data
recovery would be to pay them 150 USD to remove and replace the  
damaged
drive after a week where I could have it for data recovery and then  
send

it in to Apple for replacement. Asked whether they could not put a new
drive in at that point he informed me that it needed to be an Apple
certified part and they could not obtain that. This is where the story
ends (for now).

Some additional information:
12" PB G4 (bought from Apple refurb), 1 Ghz, 768 MB RAM, Superdrive,
Airport Extreme, unit has been in my possession for about 1.5 years, I
do have Applecare 3 year extension

Some general venting: If Apple wants to get out of their low market
share they need to improve their service to what it used to be. Don't
hire arrogant, half-wits as geniusses, and phone line support (the
'genius' actually told me he had gotten yelled at over his comments
before - not that it helped, and I couldn't waste more time or energy
with him ;-). Don't design otherwise beautiful hardware with  
components

that fail within 2 years (while I was at the 'genius' bar there were 2
other people with powerbook hard drive failure experience (and there
were not very many people to begin with). If I want this kind of  
lack of

performance I can buy a Dell or another Sony (office experience with
Sony support on Vaio laptops is about on-par with current Apple). Will
we ever get another Powerbook G3 Kanga quality from Apple again? (my
1998 one is still going strong - now has a self-installed 20 Gig HD,
although I may need to solder the power connector for a short soon).

Any help, comments, different opinions/experiences, etc. are very
welcome,
tobias

What I should have said was that RBrowser allows simultaneous

until one file has finished before starting another, as with Fetch.

After some research, I tried RBrowser. The only downside to the free

Re: Tiger on iBook G4?

[david]

Jared:

To keep casual piracy at a minimum, Apple creates its restore/install  
CD/DVD sets so that they work only with the specific model they  
shipped with. The installer runs a utility to insure that the  
computer is the proper model before the installation is started. IOW,  
you couldn't use my PowerBook restore DVD on your iBook.


Since you have an iBook G4 and the restore set you bought is also for  
a G4 iBook, at first blush it would seem you will be able to use the  
CDs. However, if the G4 model you have and the G4 model the disks  
were made for are different the disks may not work. For example, a  
few weeks ago I took my restore DVD to a friend's how because his  
restore DVD was scratched and not working. The only difference  
between his PowerBook and mine was that mine was speedbumped. The DVD  
wouldn't work.

The only reason I bought another restore disk for my iBook is

When you boot from the OS X CD you do not get to the desktop as you  
did with an OS 9 system CD. You are taken immediately to the  
installation program. Using the Application menu, you can switch to  
Disk Utilities or a password resetter.


To grant admin rights to an existing user you can log on as an admin  
user (at least 1 account has to have admin rights) and then you can  
grant additional users admin rights from the Accounts System Preference.

If you can, try and chat with an Earthlink support person.  I lost

Re: Replacing hard drive in PowerBook under extended AppleCare?

That's interesting. I could understand them not covering the drive,

if that could be challenged under the Magnuson-Moss act. That one

warranty claim based on the fact that an aftermarket part is 
installed on the car (one that does not have anything to do with 
problem being covered under warranty). For example, I replace the 
shifter in my car myself, the water pump fails, and the dealer won't 
cover the water pump failure even though it's covered under warranty.


I agree with you, Counselor, but the court (Apple) told me that if 
they saw the drive was replaced, they would assume that was the cause 
of any other problem. That was their rule and there was no reasoning 
with them about it.

In my case, Apple told me I could not upgrade the drive, even by an

VOIP Option

[David Rodriguez]

I was just wondering if and how many listers here use Skype to make 
long distance phone calls over the internet?  It seems to be pretty 
popular and much cheaper then others such as Vonage.  (Of course 9-1-1 
is not available at this time, so this is not a substitute for a 
regular phone in that context)


Now that I've finally got a fast connection out in the rural area using 
Clearwire, I am able to utilize voip   w/o having to wait a few seconds 
for my transmission to reach by friends.  The port Skype uses is also 
not blocked with Clearwire DSL, whereas I understand the one Vonage 
uses is (port 80).


For those who don't know, Skype is a VOIP (Voice Over Internet 
Protocol) program that basically allows you to make phone calls over 
the internet.  With Skype, calls are free to those who also have skype 
on their computer.  If you call to a land line or cell phone, there is 
an average local rate charge and you buy minutes up front using Paypal 
even.  You can check it out at www.skype.com.


I'm also curious how those with powerbooks are dealing with the slight 
inadequacies of their lower quality microphone and speakers, which does 
make for poor voice quality.  I have an old Jabra that clears things 
right up, but my speaker jack seems to have a slightly loose contact, 
so need to find a better headset.  It's also a minor hassle having to 
plug and unplug both mic and speaker all the time, nobody wants to wear 
any kind of headphone all the time.  So I'm just wondering if anybody 
has come up with a better solution?

Re: Replacing hard drive in PowerBook under extended AppleCare?

[david]

Apple's official word is if you open your PowerBook and install a  
different hard drive your warranty is void. OTOH, Apple's general  
working policy is to ignore that after market drive if the warranty  
repair is unrelated to the drive. I've gotten warranty repairs on two  
'books I've installed drives on. In one case the repairing tech HAD  
to have noticed it - it was a tangerine iBook with a CD burner I  
installed.

Actually, "under $20" was to be vague and wasn't the point.  The

checked and saw a lot of 40 128 Meg flash drives going for $3.00.   
So, check things out before you make a snide comment.  Also, I was  
unaware that America's education system has gotten so out of hand  
that one teacher has to deal with 145 students.  I remember a time  
when the maximum was only about 32.


It's time to take a time out here. I teach 3 high school classes and  
2 college classes for a total of 116 students. I happen to share your  
opinion about floppies TODAY but I didn't share it 3 years ago. It is  
only within the last 18 months that flash drives have dropped in  
price enough to consider them possible floppy replacements. Also, I  
don't know where you are getting the idea that 80% of students have  
computers at home. My county demographics last spring showed 46% of  
households had computers.

Re: Yeah! Success! was Re: Help! iCal died!

[david]

Dennis - I'm well aware of the phrase SCSI voodoo but there was no  
voodoo at all. Just people who didn't understand the SCSI chain. In  
all the years I worked as a consultant I only once came up against a  
genuine SCSI related problem that was solved when I isolated the the  
problem to an external drive which the manufacturer replaced. And, I  
can't remember a single SCSI related issue with any of the Novell  
servers I serviced. Further, manufacturers didn't race to provide  
SCSI solutions. Apple had already released revision B of the iMac  
before any adapters appeared. And finally, to suggest that people who  
were heavily invested in non-supported devices were anti-iMac is  
ludicrous. It was quite easy to appreciate the genius of the iMac  
design while thinking the lack of a SCSI port was short sighted.

David, that where a lot of people had different opinions. Those

those that weren't, like myself, embraced the future. Remember the

iMac came out, as vendors rushed to capitalize on the anti-iMac  
market. I think there was even a SCSI Mezzanine card for the Rev A  
& Rev B iMacs.

Re: Does AL powerbook read DVD+R disks?

and +RW only. Great deal, but only if it works!


Thanks.
Chris


Chris,

I've sold lots of cdrw and some dvdrw drives over the last few years.  
If there is one brand I would suggest you stay away from, it is 
Phillips.  I have seen more failed Phillips drives then probably all 
others combined.  You can probably still go onto ebay and find bundles 
of 50 available for cheap.  Do yourself a favor and reconsider.  My 2¢.

I Finally Decided

[David Harris]

Hi:

I apologize for the length of this E-mail.

I was on the fence for a while with my 700 Mhz G3 iBook.  It had a  
broken R-11 unit (where the telephone jack locks in), which I let  
happen through negligence (I left it on the bed plugged into the  
telephone jack and my other half walked by and pulled it out.  The  
R-11 jack still worked but I had to be careful the telephone cable  
didn't slip out.  I had Airport card in it, so I did not need to fix it.


This situation gnawed at me.  I wasn't  even sure that repair on the  
R-11 jack was possible.  I heard it was part of the logic board and  
would require a complete replacement.  Finally, fate helped me  
decide.  I sold my Dell laptop with USB CD-R/DVD-ROM for financial  
reasons.  I called a local Apple consultant and after one day's  
research, he indicated that the R-11 jack was indeed separate from  
the logic board and would run an estimate for repairs.  But why stop  
there, I thought.   The iBook had a CD-ROM drive.  The hassle I would  
have to install Tiger made me decide to get a combo drive.  Along  
with a complete servicing and changing of worn screws and completely  
replaced plastic feet (I purchased this iBook used through a company  
I cannot find, BuyMicro.com), the final bill was $530.35.  I have a  
90-day warranty for parts and labor.


Whew  More expensive then a Mac Mini, I know, but it is kind of  
strange.   I'm glad I repaired the 700 Mhz G3 iBook.  It lets me be  
able to put Tiger on her and sell my 900 Mhz G3 iBook with a combo  
drive that I hardly use, as it is slightly heavier.

Wall Street Rip von Winkle

[David Lesher]

My OS9.2 Wallstreet sleeps when I close the cover but never awakes again.

It tries; backlight comes on, screen is at least grey with outlines, 
"busy" indicator.


But it never wakes. I have to FN+Shift+option POWER to restart.

I deleted the energy saving pref; no difference...


Suggestions?

Re: Wallstreet pcmcia card

[David Lesher]

"Important: Mac OS versions 9.1 and later include a later version of this
software. Installing USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1 over Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 or

Since I am running 9.2.2 on the Wallstreet, any different suggestions  to
get the card  working?  thanks, Del
And thankyou to the 2 people who wrote helping me to get my Wallstreet
restarted!



I was told that the INSTALLER looks for USB devices, and if it didn't

Re: upgrading my wallstreet

[david]

i also see from wegener media:

allegro g3/500 for $270
presto! g4/500 for $220
avanti g3/400 for $99

on the allegro page they also say:

"Why not G4?
Good question.. But think about it. The only real advantage of G4 is the 
Altivec processor, which is rarely utilized, except for video processing. 
And the Wallstreet is really not set up for video processing anyway, so if 
you WERE going to do video, you'd save that extra $150, and get a Pismo. 
So, our opinion is, get the Allegro, save your pennies, and get on with 
life!"

upgrading my wallstreet

[david]

i've been meaning to fix my 250 wallstreet for some time now, i've got the 
sound card/power supply part to replace, i'm getting more ram to install 
(2 x 256), and now i'm thinking... is it worth it to buy one of those 
sonnet crescendo upgrades?


owc lists two models, one is a g4/500 upgrade for $350 and the other is a 
g3/500 upgrade for $200.


i'll likely do the processor upgrade, but can anyone tell me, is the g4 
worth $150 more than the g3? anyone have any experience or knowledge?


thanks in advance.

david

Yup.


i should use SDRAM memory of 100Mhz or greater "PC  100", and use ram with

2-2-2 speed...

You got me there, with the 2-2-2 stuff.


oh yeah, one more question, if i use only one 256 card does it matter what

the
other one is and which slot it goes into?

Nope so long as it fits !


1) All current SODIMMs are "low profile"; will fit in either the upper or
lower slot,

2) the machine is not sensitive to the refresh parameters (2-2-2.
etcetera) unless it cannot make sense of the EPROM on the SODIMM; but
most folks prefer 2-2-2, even though its unproved what the advantages of
2-2-2 are, over, say, 2-2-3,

3) the machine was designed for PC66 SODIMMs, and it may also like PC100
SODIMMs, however,

4) many PC133 SODIMMs which are 256 MB will be read as only 128 MB on the
Wallstreet (any 1998 PB) and Lombard (1999), but will be read correctly
as 256 MB on the Pismo (2000).

The Pismo doc states specifically that this model requires a different
SODIMM specification than the earlier machines (1998 and 1999, e.g.).

I believe the difference is inherent in the 2000's memory controller and
bus architecture, as the 2000 has a 100 MHz bus, where as the 1998 has a
66 (WSI and WSII) or 83 MHz (some WSIs, only) bus, depending upon the
model, and the 1999 has a 66 MHz bus.

I have tried two different manufacturers and three different units of
PC133 SODIMMs in 1998, 1999 and 2000 "G3 Series" PBs, and my tests
confirm these facts.

If you buy a PC133 SODIMM, be sure you have a return option as it most
likely will read as one-half capacity on a 1998 and 1999, but will read
as full capacity on a 2000.

It's been at least two years ... perhaps three or four ... since 256 MB
SODIMMs which were specifically compatible with the 1998 and 1999 PBs
were made.

Since there are no more PC66 or PC100 SODIMMs in the manufacturer's
pipeline, you're going to have to depend upon a dealer's NOS units, or
used units.

Re: extension problem: shared library manager ppc

[david]

so the problem was not with the shared library manager extension, or the 
open transport extension, but with another one called lwLanScannerPPC 
which i don't need anyway (or so it seems). disabling that extension 
solved my problems. thanks everyone who wrote and helped me out.

Same as before, replace it using TomeViewer.  Note that it loads additional 
files so it may well be a problem with one of those.  Also it could be the 
configuration file that's buggy.

What is likely happening is that the extension is fine but some shared 
library that is getting loaded at boot is corrupt.  This is a classic 
extension conflict problem.


Try leaving the extension enabled and disable all the Shared Libraries. 
Create a folder in the Extensions folder called Shared Library (disabled) 
or such.  Then reboot and see if you still have the problem.  If it goes 
away then start trying the shared libraries either one by one or using a 
successive approximation - try half, if it boots okay try half the 
remaining, if it doesn't boot then boot half of the test lot back in the 
disabled folder.

Re: Hard Drive Replacement

[David Lesher]

I went to  and found an 80 GB Hard Drive
(Toshiba 5400RPM):  This Toshiba 80GB 5400RPM drive has a huge 16MB buffer,
improved noise reduction, and low power consumption. Here is a link to specs
for the 8026GAX. This drive has a three year warranty from Toshiba Note:
This drive is compatible with all G3 and G4 laptops. 8026GAX.

At the same site, also found:  This is a Hitachi Travelstar 7K60 60GB
7200RPM 2.5in ATA-6 Mobile Hard Drive w/8MB Buffer. Here is the spec PDF for
the Hitachi Travelstar 7K60. This drive is equiped with a large 8MB Data
Buffer and a 7200 RPM Spindle Speed for increased performance. Note: This
drive is compatible with all G3 and G4 laptops.



You touched on an issue -- power consumption. Faster drives will draw 
more power, and run hotter.

Once you restart you can drag your old preferences etc into the new system

should/might work.


By the way some of your older apps like Explorer might have to be upgraded, 
especially the ones that insist on the opentransportlib file. Sorry if its

No, I don't think so. I found a genuine HP toner for an HP printer that 
uses

the same engine than my LaserWriter 16/600PS for $25 on eBay. I am sure you
could find one for your smaller LaserWriter that could potentially be even
cheaper. The trick is to find out which engine your 320 uses. It is most
likely from HP or Canon. If you look around, I'm sure you can find this 
out.

Search for a toner vendor on the Internet. Then search for your printer
model. They will probably lists which printers use that same toner. A lot 
of

companies will sell somebody's else printer by putting their own brand
sticker on it and maybe change some cosmetic parts to make it not too
obvious. Once you found which printer engine you have, do a search on eBay
for toner and that model. You will likely find a ton of them. Try to stay
away from "generic" ones.
