USB Connector
Hello All, I need a USB to Headset connector ( adaptor ) sothat I can connect my headset to my ALPB 17 when using Scype. The headset has two connectors, one for the headphone and one for the mic. When I connect the headset to the laptop I insert the headphone connector in the headphone jack and the mic connector in the audio line-in jack. The headphone works but the mic of the headset is dead. Sound manager is adjusted to Audio line-in port and Headphone line-in port. In a forum of Skype I Read that I should use the adaptor described above however phoning two computer shops drew a blank. They claim never having heard about such an adaptor. Does it exist ?

To check this assumption I carefully tapped the front two corners vertically on my 'real' desktop. I chose the front as normally one closes the PB by turning it on it's small back so tapping in the opposite direction might 'reset' the connection. Assumption confirmed, the keyboard works. I have to inform Laurent that the PB 17 has no little switch to lift the keyboard out. I have the service doc on my PB but the accessibility is daunting so Ill check first with AppleCare as we have an Apple Store in the neighborhood who might fix this at short notice.

You can purchase the connector that goes from the card which has a connector for a CB antenna on the other end(I got one on ebay quite a while ago), which will give you range of between one half and two miles if the antenna is placed high enough. You will have to modify the ABS case to allow the cable to extend outside to be able to attach the external antenna. There are also commercial antennas available for ABS which already have the correct connector to plug onto your Airport card. Tom Thank you Tom.

WiFi range?
Hello All, Having trouble with my wireless range. Set up: DSL modem in the hall Airport Base Extreme in the study at 6 m. distance from the modem 17 PB running OS X v. 10.3.3. The APBE is mounted on the side of a wooden cupboard ± 2 m. from floor level and facing at 1.5 m. a window out to the garden. Signal level shows 12 of the 15 dots lighted. Building is bungalow type with brick walls. I know that range is influenced by many factors but I would expect a range in my garden to reach 25 m. but it doesn't. My Kensington WiFi finder also does not recognize the base station at this distance. Any advice? TIA, greetings, Andre. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Video Stream Messages.
I just heard that you can attach a video stream to an e-mail but only in Windoze, not Mac's. Is this correct and why? Greetings, Andre What do you mean exaclty by video stream? A video stream is usually a server providing video over the network while the client plays it in real time. Usually, that means providing the URL to the server's video stream. So, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to provide a URL in an email. If you mean being able to play the video from the email application you're using, then you may be right. I only used Entourage so far and it hasn't the ability to play video streams from an email. Maybe another email application on the Mac would be able to do it. In any case, it's usually just a matter of copying the URL to the video stream into your browser. If by video stream you mean attaching the video file to the message, then, again, I don't see why you would be able to do it from Windows but not from the Mac. It would depend on the size of the file and whether your ISP limits the size of emails you can send. -Laurent. Thank you Laurent for your elucidations. It's clear now.

Just set the preferences in Image capture to share devices in one mac and to look for shared devices in the other. I have tried to do it myself, to see if it would work. I was able to share my digital camera, but my scanner (actually an hp printer/scanner/copier) could not be shared (it did not even appear in the list of shareable devices in Image Capture).

CCC Trouble.
Hello All, My excuses for approaching the wrong list as well as spelling Trouble mistakenly. Thank you both Laurent and Eric for your quick reactions. Found out that the problem was a bootable system on the target disk and when on second try I first erased the target disk, all was well. Thank you for your input.

CCC Truble.
Hello All, Today I cloned with the help of CCC one iMac Rev C 400 MHz running OS X v.10.3 on a FlatPannel 15 800 MHz iMac running also OS X v. 10.3 Everything went smoothly and CCC reported after 45 minutes that the job was done. When I restarted the target machine ( FlatPannel ) everything looked alright and the window opened, asking for Name and Password. When these were entered the machine 'shuddered' and stayed where it was. When we checked the source machine, Name and Password opened the HD without 'shuddering'. Is this a joke? How to get around it? TIA and greetings, Andre. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Still struggling with my new PowerBook.
Hello All, My new 17 G4 PowerBook is still fighting me. Earlier I reported about TT de Luxe supplied by AppleCare won't do its work and though I called AppleCare last monday they have not reacted yet with a solution. Yesterday I found out that my Canon 5000F scanner and my i550 printer won't do their work. Refreshed the drivers but still no go. On my trusted 15 Flatpannel 800 MHz also running OS X v.10.3 no problem whatsoever. The latest surprise was that this machine refuses to clear the PRAM by pushing Ctrl+Alt+P+R at restart. It chimes only once whilst I'm holding the keys and does its normal startup. Tried three times. My friend the Flatpannel does it by the book. Any solutions for these problems. I'm still waiting for reactions from Canon. This PowerBook is full of surprises, though it is a beautiful machine. Can anybody help me with an explanation and possible solution?

Re: Still Struggloing.....
Hi Laurent, I'd be willing, albeit with great pain, to trade you my PowerBook G3 for your G4 if you want. I don't have any problem zapping the PRAM and it also runs 10.3.2 and is beautiful. Let me know what you think... Well, it's a different machine. I won't consider your offer before I find the reason for my problems.

Strange Riddle.
Hello All, Got my 17 PowerBook a few days ago and wanted to play with the TechTools de Luxe CD that was supplied with AppleCare. It appeared on the desk top, I could open it but when I restarted with C it started to make the usual driver noises but stopped after about 1 minute with a blue Screen. Every attempt ended the same way whereas my Flattop 15 iMac had no problems arriving at the working stage. Then I tried my DW v.3 same situation, not finalizing installation from C. Talked and exercised for close to an hour with the AppleCare Helpdesk, no solution. Both CD's work allright on both my flattop aswell as my wife's iMac SE. They proposed to replace TechTool so I said what about DW. Now I'm stuck and cannot use either of these CD's on my PowerBook for good housekeeping. Has anybody encountered such a situation and what would be the solution. Greetings, Andre. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Thank you David, this is a great relief and I have ordered all that is required. Now comes the shuttle exercise. Presume the new Pbook comes pre-installed, maybe even with the bundled software. Can I CC clone all the contents of my Flattop iMac to the Pbook or should I follow a different method. Same goes for my wife's 400 Mhz SE iMac once the Flattop has been cleared and reformatted. Many thanks for your or anybody's suggestions. Greetings, Andre. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Upgrading.
Hello All, I'm a new subscriber, living in the Netherlands and using Mac's since '89 but never owned a laptop. To clarify my alias in my e-mail address, I'm also a fervent fly fisher and Invicta is a well-known wetfly. My present home-system is ADSL ethernet modem Vigor 2200E router and one Flatpanel 800 Mhz iMac, 1 GB SDRam, running OS X v. 10.3. My wife has an 400 Mhz SE iMac connected to the same router aswell as a spritly SE/30 with OS 7.5 and 128 MB, to play with. We decided to acquire an iSight to communicate with my son in Needham, USA who has a G 4 iBook, 14, 933 Mhz, 640 SO-DIMM also running OS X v. 10.3. As the 400 Mhz iMac is too slow for iSight I decided to give my Flatpanel iMac to my wife and get a 17 Powerbook for myself. To make the powerbook free from cables I intend to install an Airport base station without modem connected to one free portal of my router. The laptop can than be moved around in the house and in the garden aswell, weather permitting. Would this setup have your approval or have I forgotten some or more things?
