Re: accessing mpeg video files on OS X ?
The most flexible way will cost you $20 - that' s the price of Apple's QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. With that installed, you can use the wonder - and free - program MPEG Stream Clip to export the video to dv. Hi Luis, If I buy this MPEG2 Playback component, will I then definitely be able to convert the MPEG video to DV ? Will it convert any MPEG video file or just certain ones ? Amber I have this component installed and I can convert MPEG2 files to dv, to quicktime movies, etc., using the free MPEG Stream Clip. For using with iMovie, either export directly to DV (File-Export to DV...) or export to Quicktime and select the appropriate DV codec. I can also view these MPEG2 files (but not edit them) in QuickTime Player (which is why they call it *playback* component; even QT PRO - which I have - cannot edit MPEG2). Of course, I cannot guarantee that this will work with *any* files; but since you can already play your files, you can probably confirm in VLC if they are indeed MPEG2 and, if so, this procedure will most likely work.

Re: Anyone use iDVD in here?
I made a couple mistakes in making a .img file with my iDVD project in it, and cancelled the creation a few times thinking the program had frozen, when apparently it hadn't. In any event, the file I wanted did not appear in the place I specified in each of those occasions, but I still lost several gigs of space due to files that never materialized. How can I get that space back? Brian Well, they are there on your hard drive... try to search in the Finder for files, say, larger than 500MB. If nothing meaningful shows up, it may be that those large files happen to be in invisible directories, which aren't searched by default (or not at all). You might still get them in the Terminal. Try sudo find -size +1048576 -print (enter your password when requested) The ouput is the path and name of the files with size greater than 0.5GB (size here is expressed in multiples of 512 bytes, for historical reasons). That should give you enough information. Then you can either delete them in the Finder or using the Terminal. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I recently replaced the printer 'cause it finally died but it had nothing to do with the adapter. The reason the Belkin adapter needs drivers in the first place is due to the fact that it doesn't do what the Microtech adapter does, which is simply fool OSX making it think it's all USB devices. In fact, under System Profiler, SCSI still says no devices found, and yet under USB all the devices come up, with the adapter showing up as a USB hub. THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember when using these adapters is to have an ACTIVE terminator on the last chained device, NOT a passive terminator. That simple mistake can cause the devices to simply not work, or worse, damage everything. Hope this info helps in your SCSI quest.

As far as autostart utilities go, I'll take a look at those. The thing has only had a total of 3 hours downtime since the day Tiger came out, and that was only because of a power outage. I don't know, but I may be replacing my Linux server with some Mac minis if that keeps up... Now, where do I get MacJanitor, so I can try it? Do you mean it has been running for months without shutting down or restart? That is awesome, but it may well be the cause for the slowdown (with large caches creeping up, and memory fragmentation).

Re: TV tuner for G4 PB
I'd like to record TV on my 15 G4 PB, OS 10.3.9 and am wondering what's the best tuner/software etc. A friend with a PC recorded a show for me and I can't say I'm impressed with the quality of either the video or the audio. If that's the best I can do, I won't bother. Any suggestions? Willi I have an EvolutionTV, from Miglia (www.miglia.com). It connects to my PB (TiBook 1GHz) via usb2 on a Cardbus Card (it *might* work in the regular usb1.1 ports of the TiBook, but I did not try it). It does hardware compression in MPEG2, DivX or MPEG4. It has an analog TV tuner and also composite and s-video inputs (great for finally digitizing those old tapes). You can do sheduled or live recordings, timeshift live tv and more. The video quality is outstanding and the software is constantly being updated. For the record, the EvolutionTV can also be driven with EyeTV software (at a cost), though [my limited knowledge of EyeTV not withstanding] I much prefer miglia's. Included are plugins that let you do basic editing (like removal of ads) and even creation of dvd's from with the EvolutionTV application.

Airport problem with 10.4.3
After upgrading to 10.4.3, I lost the ability to connect to my Base Station. I noticed that shortly after the release of 10.4.3, there was an update for Airport and installed it, but it made no difference. Also, like other people, I received a message about airport needing access to my keychain. I thought nothing of it, because it seemed quite normal, since there was a new version of the Airport software, and authorized it. I believe there is something wrong with the new Airport software and would like to know if more people are having the same problem. I workaround for similar cases has been to grab the appropriate file from a previous version and substitute for the problematic one, so I would appreciate help in determining which file(s) might be needed. I do have another mac still running 10.4.2, so I migth grab the file from it (alas, this other mac - a BW - does not have Airport, so I cannot use it for testing the Base Station).

Re: PowerBook G4+Sony Ericsson T610=?
Hi would it not be easier to just get a blue tooth dongle and go that way. I think the T610 has built in bluetooth.

Re: linking Wallstreet and Albook with ethernet?

The iBook doesn't have SCSI so he can't boot the WS in target disk mode. Could he boot the iBook in firewire mode and use a firewire PC card to mount it on the wallstreet? We'd need to find him a firewire card for the wallstreet. Could he connect the two computers with an ethernet cable? It would be slow but we could do it with existing ports. Do you need a crossover cable or a regular one? Any links to tutorials? Thanks Andrew It's perfectly doable using an Ethernet cable. If the iBook is a fairly new model, you can use a regular cable (recent macs use auto- sensing ports). For older models, you'd have to use a crossover cable or a hub. The firewire pccard would be faster, but since you don't have one already I'd say go ahead with ethernet. Make sure you turn file sharing on. If you need more info just ask here or email privately.

The newest version can do both FTP and SFTP (older versions can do only regular FTP). Both have a nice drag and drop interface and have worked well for me. Of course, there is also a client (actually, two!) already installed on your mac: the Finder and the Terminal.

It should be of the form ftp:// something.com If all goes well, you'll have a volume on your desktop just like any other and you can just drag the folders you want to your mac (but, afaik, not the other way around, as the ftp volume mounts as read only).

Full screen movie in QuickTime (was Re: AVI files)
And if you want to play the avi files full screen in QuickTime (not the pro=
version), you can do it with an AppleScript. Here's the code to run it on=
your PowerBook display (1) or a second non-mirrored display (2). Open the=
movie before you run the script from the Scripts menu.
display dialog Which display do you want to show the QuickTime movie on?=
buttons {1, 2} default button 1
set dispNo to ((button returned of result) as number)
tell application QuickTime Player
activate
--rewind movie 1 -- uncomment if you want to rewind before starting
=ABevent MVWRenfs=BB =ABclass devi=BB dispNo
play movie 1
repeat while (the playing of movie 1 is true)
delay 5
end repeat
=ABevent MVWRexfs=BB =ABclass devi=BB 1
rewind movie 1
end tell
A much simpler script does the trick (at least if you don't have more
than one screen):
tell application QuickTime Player
present movie 1
end tell
This is what I have in my Scripts menu.
To install, do the following (in Tiger): go to Applications-AppleScript and:
1) open the AppleScript Utility
Make sure the checkbox Show script menu in menu bar is selected.
2) Open Script Editor and paste or write the code for the script.
Save as compiled script with a descriptive name (e.g. Full Screen)
in ~/Library/Scripts (create the folder it does not already exist).

Re: OS X on G3 Series PowerBook
I appreciate your input. I don't know if waiting and trying to Load OS X later will do much good. I have been trying to load OS X for almost a year, trying every few months. Recently, I upgraded my disk drive from 4 Gigs to 12 Gigs, and formatted the disk into two partitions, the lower one being 8 Gigs. Of course, I will keep trying, but I don't have much confidence that it will ever work. The only OS X system disks I have are OS 10.2. These disks loaded OK on my G3 Blue White 400 Mhz Mac, so I think that the disks are OK. Just a thought... it may be wiser to set the first partition to be a little UNDER 8 Gigs... I suppose this is a stupid question, but, are you using XPostFacto? Have you tried using it? I don't think it is stupid at all. However, the Wallstreet is supposed to allow 10.2 WITHOUT XPostFacto; it should be needed for 10.3 and newer, though. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet, OS X and Wavelan Gold
This message written: Tuesday, 6 September 2005 20:44:45 PDT Have been trying to learn OS X. Installed 10.2.8 on a Wallstreet/300. Seems faster than I expected. The only hangup seems to be that now I can't get the Wavelan Gold working. I installed a Sourceforge drive that is supposed to work, but no go. It shows up in the list of PC cards in the menu bar, but is not shown as a choice in the networking control panel. Any suggestions? Ken I'm not sure if this helps, or if it works the same way in 10.2.8 (I have only Panther and Tiger), but won't hurt to try: Open System Preferences-Network and then choose Network Port Configurations. See if either: it appears there, but is unchecked (so, check it!), or it doesn't; in the latter case, try the New... button and see if you can add a new configuration using that port (which could be called Airport or some name related to the card or driver).

Re: How to stop iPhoto from auto importing
Good thing to know. I'm satisfied with the default set up but I sure didn't realize that the capture app was the one to change the setup. I've been using iPhoto because of the integration but it took me a while to control the automatic filing which can drive you crazy when you are looking for the actual photo file. dan I don't know why iPhoto is not like iTunes in this respect: in iTunes, a Get Info on a song gives, among other things, the full path of the file. Nevertheless, if you need quick access to an actual image file, you can either or get a *copy* of the file by dragging the image from iPhoto to, say, your desktop; or you can drag your image from iPhoto to, say, GraphicConverter's icon in the dock. This will open the image in GraphicConverter. Then not only you can edit it in place, but a simple command click on the window title will show you the full path. Granted, this is a workaround for what should be directly available in iPhoto, but still it showed (to me) that iPhoto *can* play nice with other photo editing applications.

This is where you can select which network ports you want to use. Make sure that there is something selected there.

Re: ethernet help
Hello, I am having a problem with my 300mhz ibook. I was using it on the internet through my router and it kept dropping connections. Then all at once it will not connect at all. I went to the network settings and it kept going back to internal modem setting. I finally got that problem fixed, but it still won't connect. I have two other computers running though this same router with the same connection and they are working fine. I have traded eithernet cables, I have traded ports on the router, I have reset the router and restarted the computer, and just about everything else I can think of. Does anyone have any other ideas? or do you think my ethernet just went out in my computer? If so would a wireless usb ethernet connector work? I am running OS 10.3 . Thanks, Pam - Did you look at the Network Status in System Preferences-Network? It should give you a hint as to, well, the status of network interfaces. A working ethernet connection should present a green light and say Built-in ethernet is currently active and has IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. A yellow light may indicate that the ethernet is using a self-assigned IP address (and the text should say so). A red light may indicate that the mac does not sense there is an active connection there. This information could help figure out what to look for.

If the printer driver is some kind of network kernel extension, then the version for 10.3 won't work with 10.4 because Apple made some changes to th= e network kernel API and drivers have to be modified to work properly under 10.4. I'm not saying that this is the problem, but it could be and, in this case, there isn't much you can do except complaining to HP... -Laurent. While I strongly agree that HP's drivers for Mac OS X are poorly written and don't play well (or at all) with multiple users (i.e. fast user switching), I have been able to use my all-in-one under Tiger, using the very same drivers that I had in Panther. I would suggest you remove and reinstall the HP driver and see if it makes a difference. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: DVD -R/+R in Pismo?
I had heard from a fairly good source that those at Apple chose to use DVD -R as the way to write to disk. I don't know if this has anything to do with the way the system reads the disk or not and I don't have a DVD/R drive to test. Don't quote me on this because it could be wrong. My 2 year old TiBook can not read DVD+R discs either. I suspect only fairly recent macs can read DVD+R. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: filling out a form
I'm the guy who asked about over quota on email, and caught a little flack for asking the wrong kind of question. Sorry, but after a week of confusion it was you guys that helped. So I'm going to risk asking another questionable question. I thought I could fill out a form with my clamshell ibook much the same as I use too with a typewriter. (I'm working with mac os x 10.3.9) So I scanned the form; but I can't figure out how to fill it out. It's like trying to type over a picture. I've probably got over 40 hours into this now and it's not so much the specific form as it is learning how to do this type of task. I've even downloaded a trial version of bbedit 8.2. But I'm lost and it seems I've asked everybody and only gotten blank stares as a result. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? And if so could someone please tell me how? Sincerely, Dennis P.S. Thanks to everyone who helped with the over quota thing. You made it simple. I use a little shareware program for filling out forms that are in pdf format. It's called FormMate. For my limited needs it's worked great. It lets add as many text fields as needed, and insert pictures as well (like a digitized sigtnature, for instance). As some people have noted, it appears that Tiger brings the capability to do this. My copy of Tiger is, alas, still in the mail. I expect to get it tomorrow :-) Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Ditching OS 9
A Quick Question... I finally have all the software needed for OS X and want to delete OS 9/Classic from my iBook. Is there any easy way to do this or is a clean install of X the way to go? Reinstalling X is not a huge issue, but if I can save a few hours, it'd be nice! Thanks for any advice y'all might have! Amanda Drag the folder named System Folder (NOT the one called System, this contains Mac OS X!!!) and the folder named Applications (Mac OS 9) (again, NOT the one just called Applications) to the trash and empty the trash. That should about do it. You don't have to worry about preference files, as Mac OS 9 apps store those in a folder inside the System Folder. Do make sure you don't actually need it (or can easily install it back) before you do this. You could, for instance, keep a backup of the two folders on one or two CDs.

Re: Which Mac OS X/Virtual PC version for my Wallstreet?
Mac OS X Panther runs pretty well on my Wallstreet, with the help of XPostFacto. Only two tweaks, well documented in the web, that I had to apply: 1) remove a file with a name like ATIRageProGA.plugin (don't have my Wallstreet at hand now to confirm) solved some color problems - the display had a purple cast and dragging windows used to leave shadows behind; after removing (or, for precaution, moving it somewhere else) this file, all went well. It is said that an even better solution would be to replace it with the one present in 10.2.8, but I did not have that. 2) download a kernel extension (iirc) was required to support the ejection of cardbus cards. Someone had this already available. After 1) and 2), my Wallstreet has been rock solid as a secondary mac (my TiBook is my workhorse now). I applied several updates after that, all coming through fine via Software Update (no need to run XPostFacto for those). That said, I imagine *any* virtual pc would be dog slow on this machine... Luis Sequeira Fellow PowerBook-philes, I am in the process of building a cheap laptop for my GF so that she will have a machine while she studies abroad in Rome, Italy this summer. Consequently I am putting together a PowerBook Wallstreet from various parts and machines I've found for cheap. This will either be a 300mhz G3 or 466mhz G3 with 512 MB RAM and a 40 gb drive. Wanting to endear my GF to Macintoshes I was looking to put OS X on the machine. The problem -- I am not sure which OS X should go. As I understand it, OS X.2.8 is supported without the requirement of any other programs for loading it (such as XPostFacto) on the Wallstreet. However, as I also understand it, Mac OS X.3 had a significant spead increase over X.2 because of code optimization. Further, I understand X.3 is the best Mac OS X for laptops. The problem is that OS X.3 is not supported natively on the Wallstreet and I would need XPostFacto to get it to work. Further, XPostFacto's website lists problems with the video when installing OS X.3 on a Wallstreet. Does anyone have any experience on this matter? In other words: Which Mac OS X version is the fastest/most stable on the PowerBook Wallstreet? Lastly, my girlfriend is a Classics Major and uses a program written for DOS which helps her study (a sort-of Dictionary like program). I would like her to be able to access this program while abroad and therefore was looking to get one of the Virtual PC versions. As I would like to be running Mac OS X, and as this is only a DOS program, I am wondering if it would be best to get the lowest Virtual PC version I can find (4, 5 or 6?) which will run on OS X? I have unused copies of Windows 98 and of Dos 5 6, but which Virtual PC would have a decent ease of use and decent speed for a Mac OS X computer like the Wallstreet? Would Virtual PC 4 or 5 work? What about Virtual PC 6? Any comments or ideas on this? Sincerely, Pacer -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: which way to connect to tv
I know you can do a video connection and an s-video and assume that all require different cables. Which is a better connection to the tv??? Are there cheaper non-Apple cord equivalents available? Pat :) It depends on the inputs the tv has. Most have composite video with RCA plugs, some have S-video, and some others have VGA and even DVI inputs. In a Powerbook with DVI output (most G4 Powerbooks since the 667MHz model, I think), I'd rank them as 1. DVI 2. VGA 3. S-video 4. Composite (though not an absolute scale; I suppose 2. and 3. may be reversed, depending on tv models). All these options are available from the Powerbook side; of course, the tv could limit your choices. In this case, cables are not a major concern, since they are quite standard. In an earlier Powerbook, you'd rule out DVI, but the rest is about the same. In an iBook, the picture is somewhat more complicated. In some models there is no S-video out port per se; some models do allow an adapter to be attached to the mini-vga port, giving the options of vga, composite and, in some, s-video. On older (white) iBooks (until about the end of 2002) there is a mini-vga (and included adapter) and a composite port, but this port carries both video and audio signals and has a connector similar to the usual stereo mini-plug (with 3 contacts instead of 2). The plug is similar to the ones used, e.g., in some camcorders, but the order of the contacts is different (so that the same port could be used for audio only, with a regular stereo mini-plug, and for audio/video).

If I try to add to it, I am prompted for my password and the folder seems to be opened but when I drag to it I am told again that I don't have the privileges.

Re: re home net
Vicki, The graphite ABS cannot be used as a bridge. The ethernet port on the station is designed only as an uplink to your DSL/Cable modem. New versions of the ABS -- Snow and Extreme -- have a dedicated WAN port that allows bridging. Having said that, there's several inexpensive alternatives these days ($100) that you should be able to find at your local computer store that will allow you to bridge your network. As a side note, if you run an 802.11b (11 mbps) base station or client on your 802.11g (54 mbps) network, it will cause the base station to revert to 802.11b (slower) speeds. To take full advantage of the 802.11g protocol, it's best to ensure that all clients are 802.11g capable and running in full 802.11g mode. HTH, -patch P.S. Here's a webpage with more info: http://www.vonwentzel.net/ABS/Evolution/index.html Maybe this does not help, but the Graphite Base Station *can* be used as a bridge. I have one. It is set up with a checkmark on Enable Airport to Ethenet Bridging and with all options for Nat and Dhcp turned off. Granted, my setup is different than Vicki's, in that my base station is *wired* to the modem/router and my 'books connect *wirelessly* to the BS. Nevertheless, wired and wireless computers do connect to each other and to the internet. Whether this may also work the other way around, I do not know, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Re: Windows Wireless on a Mac Network
My reply follows quote Thanks for your input, Mike. I took your information to heart and bought a Belkin 802.11g card for my Dell Latitude. I really didn't want a g-card, but that's all the local CompUSA had at the time and I needed it right then to help my son trouble-shoot a problem on his Windows network. Anyway, I wonder if you would be kind enough to help me sort through a few things with this Belkin/Dell setup? I know very little about the Windows side of things. (Then why did I buy the Dell? Well, I have one specific need that can't be done on a Mac, and that will also require being able to download updates from the Internet. So I want to share the Internet connection on my Airport wireless network.) Unfortunately, I have a very limited network. I'm using the modem in the ABS to connect to the Internet. It works fine for the Macs that I have connected (albeit pretty slow). But, so far, I haven't been able to get the Dell to get an wireless Internet connection on that network. I wonder if that's due to my not having the Dell set up properly. I was able to connect to my son's wireless cable modem without any difficulty, so that much is known to be working. The Dell utility says it's connected to my Airport and the Dell icon at the bottom right of the desktop turns green. The signal strength shows something like 85%, so all is good there too. But I can't get MSIE to connect to the Internet. When I checked to Belkin settings, I saw that it was trying to use a 192.x.x.x IP address, whereas my network is using 10.0.1..x. So, with a little help I went into winipcfg and manually changed the settings there to 10.0.1.5 for the Dell, and changed the sub-net mask to the right one. I didn't know what it was referring to when it listed gateway (are they using that term for the router?) so I didn't put any info there. And I didn't set any place to enter primary or secondary DNS IPs. I can't help but wonder if one, or both of those are what is preventing the Dell from using the Internet connection on my network. When I run winipcfg again, I don't get the same dialog windows to fill-in or change, so I'm not sure how to enter the gateway or find a place for the DNS IPs. Any help you can provide would be **greatly** appreciated. I can't ask these questions on a Mac list. The next best thing is a kindly Mac user that's familiar with Windows. :-) P.S. Just a reminder, I'm using Windows98 on the Dell. Thanks in advance, Bob Not having DNS Servers set is probably the problem. If you use manually selected IP addresses, you should set the address of a DNS server. You could also set up your base station to use NAT and DHCP; then you only have to set the pc to get an IP address automatically (I think that's more or less the phrase), which means that it will try to get not only the IP address but also the DNS info from the DHCP server (in this case, the base station).

Re: Headsets
This seems a silly thing for Apple to skimp on. The mechanism is already there for the built-in mic. Seems like it would be simple to make it work for a plug-in mic. In fact, the built-in mic is nearly useless anyway. It just picks up the noise of the computer. It would make more sense to leave it out and include an external mic as standard equipment. I agree. The device suggested seems to be a good one, but I wonder about an alternative. Would a bluetooth headset work by itself, without need for a device such as iMic? I have no direct experience, but I have read reports of people for whom that works - i.e. the bluetooth headset appears as an option for both input and output in the sound system preferences and can be used for, say, ichat or skype (or even inputting sound for iMovie); and people that say it does not work for them. My take is that some bluetooth adapters are more compatible than others (and the same is probably true for the headsets). The best option, if available, would be to try before you buy. I, for one, am very pleased with bluetooth functionality (using a cheapish Anycom adapter in my TiBook), but I don't have a headset, so I can't try that.

Re: Headsets
And I thought this would be simple. I want to buy a headset for my Powerbook G4 to use mostly for language programs. I am finding many different kinds with many different prices and little explanation of what makes one better than another. What is the experience of people here as to specifications, features, and brands to look for? TIA Peter I can't comment on models of headsets, but I want to point out that the sound input port is line level, which means that most mics don't just work. I have heard time and again people saying the headphones work, but not the mic. For me, the solution has been to connect (basically, *any*) headset to this nice little gadget called iMic (from Griffin). It connects to a usb port and gives both sound in and out. It has a little switch that allows the sound in port in it to be either line level or mic level. Works like a charm, no drivers needed in Mac OS X, and even works in one the usb ports in the keyboard (that is in my BW). Just select the iMic in the input and output panes of the Sound system preferences and there you go. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

(I know this from experience with 802.11g cards from Belkin itself, where some work witout drivers, some don't). Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: USB 2 card for Pismo
Isn't the PCMCIA slot much slower that USB2 which will slow down the card? Tom Technically, it is a Card Bus slot. All Powerbooks since the Wallstreet have them and it is more than enough for USB 2, or firewire, and I guess probably firewire 800 too. The PCMCIA actually became PC Card, before the new Card Bus standard arrived (32 bit vs 16 bit, offering a wider data path and more speed), but often people use these monikers almost interchangeably. I am not an expert on this, but this how I understand it. More knowledgeable people, do feel free to elucidate! Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Peripheral buying advice needed (slightly OT)
From: Luis Sequeira [EMAIL PROTECTED] I actually have a Miglia card that sits inside my BW (upgraded to a G4 processor; this card seems to need at least a G4). It's ok, but: can not do DivX or any version of MPEG4 compression (the processor is not powerful enough; have to settle with M-JPEG compression) and cannot be used with a mac except a PowerMac (since it is a PCI card). I have just received my QuickSilver 733MHz, if I bought a PCI card for that, would that be enough power to encode stuff ? I presume it has to be done in real time as the incoming feed won't pause... Larry Yes, it has to be done in real time. Yes, you can encode stuff, at least in M-JPEG (like I said, that's what I use in my G4-upgraded BW, which has a slower processor (550MHz vs your 733) and probably slower bus too (100MHz vs your, I think, 133). I use a quarter-screen resolution at full frame rate (25fps) and about medium quality. It scales reasonably well to view full screen. My only real complain is that audio gets out of sync after a while. Not sure if it is because the processor isn't fast enough or a limitation of the codec or what. I don't think you'd be able to do MPEG-4 or DivX, though. For comparison, I sometimes convert the recorded material to DivX using my 1GHz TiBook and it tends to do it in about real time (I didn't measure it accurately). I also tried to encode MPEG-4 directly from a dv stream into the firewire port (using BTV Pro) and it failed miserably (dropping frames left and right and slowing the machine to a crawl), but I now think that may have to do with not having Quicktime Pro installed. I did not have a DivX codec at the time, so I did not try that. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Peripheral buying advice needed (slightly OT)
4. Analogue - Digital video in box Firewire A little unsure, but I am looking at a low end but useable unit, I have seen the odd DivX licenced unit (Plextor ConvertX PVR DivX)... That would be great, but I looked at their site and it seems to be windows-only and usb2. I would love to have a box like that (doing the compression in hardware). Firewire would be the best, but I could settle with usb2 if it worked with a mac - then I could use it with my Powerbook (so it is slightly ON topic :-)).

Re: Peripheral buying advice needed (slightly OT)
I think LaCie 's burner is a good choice as is the HP printer (I have one myself). For the Analog Digital converter, take a look at Miglia products. I've seen them at CompUSA, Mall, Zones, JR, even SmallDog and OWC! There's a $40 mail in rebate on the DC converter. If you don't want the full frame by frame editability and simply, try their new Evolution TV box or their current PCI DVR tuner card(if an internal solution will work for you). I had not seen this post when I previously replied... this new Evolution TV box seems very promising and reasonably affordable. Another option, also usb, is from Elgato. In addition to their EyeTV firewire products, they have just introduced EyeTV wonder usb. It seems to be even cheaper than the Miglia product.

Re: Network Questions
Hi, Thanks for the help. Still not sure what to do, but to help clarify, my stay will be in Vienna, Au. The apartment owner says: the active connection cable box is in the studio some 30 feet away from the first virtual working desk in the apartment in the living area. Not exactly sure what that means, but maybe someone out there can shed some light. Doesn't sound too promising to me. Maybe I'll have to find another wireless connection, or go the dial up route? Regards, Tom Adams How does he reach from the cable box to the virtual working desk? A long ethernet cable? Or does he have wireless already? Sounds to me that you may get by with a wireless router connected to the cable modem (don't know about Austria, but here in Portugal these go for about 90 euros).

Re: Network Questions
Hello Everyone, I will be staying in a home in Europe for several weeks, where there is a Mac G3 hooked to a broad band connection. The owner says that he has no active proxy and it is set up to work only with his computer. He believes that he has a static connection, but is not sure. He is not opposed to trying a router, or a wireless router, to share the connection, but he doubts it will work with my PB G4. I was also thinking that a switch and an Airport Express might work to keep his Mac connected, and allow my AP Extreme PowerBook to connect wirelessly. It would seem to me that it would have to work, but surely some one out there can tell me with a bit more certainty. Any suggestions? Additionally, I am using a Belkin 54g WiFi router in my office. Belkin claims that my 2.4 GHz is interfering with the wireless connection. Are there wireless routers that are less susceptible to this type of interference? Any help appreciated. Regards, Tom Adams please also send response to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It basically depends on what kind of modem is being used. In some places, like in my country (Portugal) and other countries in Europe, many adsl providers offer packages that include a modem with USB connection (stupid though that is, of course). If that is the case, the simplest option is to share the connection (assuming the G3 is running Mac OS X) through ethernet. I suppose an Airport Express might be connected directly to the G3 so that you can connect wirelessly. If the broadband connection uses an ethernet modem, then you may need a router. Some modems may also act as routers (even if they have only one ethernet port), so in that case a switch could be enough, mas I wouldn't count on that.

Re: Network Questions
From my experience, i don't think there is a need for such convolute scheme. Most people, if they need to change the computer that connects to a cable or dsl modem, just have to turn the modem off so it can accept a connection from a machine with a different MAC address. And changing the modem itself is no big deal at all. Just put the new modem (say, if you decide to replace an adsl usb modem with a wifi modem/router), configure and go. Luís Sequeira The only option for you is to get router that enables you to change MAC address. Most European operators register one MAC address for a location and do not allow any other machines to connect/share the connection. If your friend has Ethernet cable connected to the computer there is some hope. The way to do change his setup is as follows: 1. When his Mac G3 is up open Terminal and run the ifconfig command. Then note the MAC address of his connection (it is the long hex number next to the word 'ether' for his network card - the one that has IP address - e.g. has IP address next to the word inet). 2. Setup the router / wireless hub - in the setup of the WS hub change the MAC address for the external interface to the MAC address you recorded in step 1. Do not plug the network to the hub just yet. 3. Take the network cable from his Mac and plug it into the router, connect other PCs to the network and everything should go fine. Not sure if Belkin supports the custom MAC address, but keep in mind that the crazy Europeans (I'm one of them) have different power source than US (e.g. 220V/50Hz).

Re: Open Firmware for Powerbook Superdrive?
I seem to recall someone talking about an Open Firmware update for the Powerbook Superdrive which would allow it to use DVD-RW and also let it burn at 2x speeds. Does anyone have more information about that? TjL There is a firmware upgrade meant for at least some TiBooks with superdrives. I have it installed (Powerbook G4 Titanium 1GHz) and have had no major issues with it, but mind you this is a totally unsupported thing, and you may well ruin your drive if something nasty happens during the upgrade. This upgrade allowed me to burn DVD-R at 2x (originally 1x), and also to double the burning speed for CD-R (16x vs 8x) and CD-RW (8x vs 4x). Support for DVD-RW, though, is not very consistent. I have burned one or two successfully, failed some others, but in at least one occasion an apparently successful burn produced a disk that wouldn't be recognized and was even hard to eject. In that event Disk Utility could not be used (it kept the spinning beach ball, apparently trying and trying to read this disk). I had to restart holding the mouse button to get that stubborn DVD-RW out of the drive. Remember, this is *unsupported* and, if something goes wrong, can render your drive unuseable.

Re: watermarking groups of photos at same time?
Does anyone know of a MAC supported software that will do watermarking on batches of photos at the same time? All I can find is PC softwares :-( I know photoshop can do this, but that is one photo at a time. I have hundreds of photos that I need to do this to. Please respond off list. Thanks in advance! Kim :-) Graphic converter? It can batch process files but I'm not sure if this is one of the processes. John Yes, I think Graphic Converter can do that rather nicely. Use Convert and Modify to apply a number of effects to a bunch of images at the same time. For this, you'd want to checkmark Use batches and the edit the batches to contain Insert PICT. Parametrize as you wish it and there you go. My little experiment with that worked almost perfectly, placing a test watermark in a few pictures. Only thing is the transparency seems to be reversed (so I had to invert the alpha channel of the watermark for it to work correctly in the batch).

Re: 1 printer, 1 Mac, 2 accounts
The exclamation mark means that print jobs are stopped. A very common problem with hp all-in-ones (I know, I have one) is that they don't play well with fast user switching. In my case I cannot print at all when more than one user is logged in at the same time. If that is your situation, try to restart and then log in to only the second account. Also, after waking from sleep, problems tend to appear with these printers. One way to recover, without restarting (or logging out and in again) is to 1) open Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities) 2) select the hp communications process and kill it (you may type hp in the little search box first to locate it) 3) In the Finder, open Library/Printers/HP and double-click on the hp communications icon to restart it. This is a faceless background application that does not show up in the dock, hence the tortuous way to kill and restart. Usually, doing 1)-3) (with only one user logged in!) and starting jobs in the printer (double click the printer name in Printer Setup Utility and click Start Jobs in case they are stopped) restores functionality. Of course, if it does not appear in Printer Setup Utility, that harder to do...

Re: Superdrive and DVD-RW?
DVD-RW works fine for recording data but iDVD used to reject them. I read some hints on how to get iDVD to accept them but never tried it (look at http://www.macosxhints.com/ ) and I seem to recall someone claiming the problem no longer exists but I wouldn't swear to that. Hmmm, I bought some CompUSA branded DVD-RWs and after trying 4 disks I came to the conclusion that my TiBk 1GHz SuperDrive didn't support writing to them (although the specs says it should). So my question is, was that just a case of low-quality, (virtually) generic media? Or something else? Covert settings? Faulty SD? Sunspots? -Al Terego The original TiBook 1GHz superdrive is NOT supposed to work with DVD-RW (only DVD-R). I have one. There is an unsupported, do-it-at-your-own-risk firmware upgrade which, in principle, allows you to do two things: double the burning speed for supported media (DVD-R at 2x, CD-R at 16x, CD-RW at 8x) and also burn to DVD-RW (at 1x). I did that and can do the first of those happily. Burning to DVD-RW is still not working great. Some burn, but give problems later, some give burning errors. I have been told that writing something to a DVD-RW on a different drive and then erasing it makes it work ok, but I have no other machine (mac or pc) that can write to DVD-RW, so I have no way of testing this claim.

Re: Multiple mail accounts (was Questions: OS Upgrades, browser/Mail/News choice)
At this stage, the only feature you've mentioned that Mail doesn't have (set automatic check intervals on a per-account basis) is entirely unnecessary for anyone with an internet connection faster than a 14.4k modem. Cheers, Ben I (almost) stand corrected. You're right that having different intervals on a per-account basis is not terribly important. I would gladly switch to Mail... now I tried it and it imported all my mail from Eudora quite nicely. Good. It appears to do almost everything I need. It does not import my accounts (personalities in Eudora parlance), but I can remake them. Not a big deal, I have currently 10. I can select, on a per-account basis, whether to check mail automatically. What I can't seem to do is to check mail for a specific account, or set of accounts, individually. Let be more specific: I have a few accounts for specific purposes that are not used daily. In Eudora, I can have these set up so that Check mail does not check these accounts. One, for example, is an backup account with a free ISP that only allows POP when using one of their modem connections. I want to be able to keep this account accessible but disabled, in the sense that manually selecting the Check mail command does not try to check mail from this account. I don't find any way to achieve this. Now in Eudora I can leave the check box check mail on manual checks unchecked and, when needed, bring up the personalities pane, select this (and possibly others) personality and hit the check mail button, thus checking mail for this personality, while the regular check mail does not affect it. Can I have this sort of functionality in Mail? I would love to. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Trouble with Quicktime viewing
Yesterday I tried to watch the MacWorld keynote address on my 1.5 GHz PowerBook with 2 GB RAM. It seems that I have the hardware for it anyway. We have DSL. It interrupted and quit so many times in the first 20 minutes that I watched it on my son's 2-year old PC instead (with XP Professional), where it had to rebuffer (I think I spelled that right) only twice, and then started right back up. His computer was using Quicktime as well. In trying to console me, my son suggested that I had probably tried to watch the keynote when a million other people were also trying to log on. This type of trouble occasionally happens to me, and my son's computer seems to not have this trouble. I do not have Quicktime Pro, although I'm asked if I want to upgrade each time it opens. Is that my problem? Any suggestions? Any buttons I need to click? Thanks, Claire You definitely have more than adequate hardware for that :-) I would check the Quicktime preferences, especially regarding the connection speed (make sure it's coherent with your dsl connection) and transport setup (make that use this protocol and then choose HTTP and port 80).

Re: Wallstreet S Video Hot swapable?

Re: Apple menu additions
There is a way to somehow reproduce this behaviour in Mac OS X, that requires no extra software: create a folder, name it whatever you choose, say Apple Menu. Put aliases to stuff you would like to have on your Apple Menu. Drag this folder to the Dock (unfortunately, you can only put it at the end closest to the trash can). There you have your Apple Menu in the Dock. You can add or delete from your Apple Menu folder at will and changes will be reflected immediately, as in the original version. Luis Sequeira Luis, Have you tried that yourself? I just gave it a go, initially trying with an alias of my hard drive, thinking I could easily navigate to any folder on it. However, the Dock doesn't take it. I've tried with a simple folder, no go. It seems the Dock will only accept applications or documents, no folder. Or am I missing something? -Laurent. -- Laurent, I have dragged my Applications folder to the Dock and it works, *But* I have to either click and hold or control-click. I forgot to mention this (I actually don't use it that much). It produces a hierarchic menu (in a brief test I went up to six levels of nested folders :-)). Remember, it MUST go in the section of the dock where the trash can is. You can't just put it beside your documents (or it is rejected, which, it appears, is what happened to you). I am running Panther, but I think it should work in Jaguar also (but don't have any Jaguar running mac to test it). Luis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Ram in a Wallstreet
There's no RAM 'on board' on any G3 series Powerbook. The Kanga is a G3 PowerBook. It has 32-Mb RAM on the logic board. Both posters are right... The expression G3 SERIES Powerbook does not include the Kanga; and all G3 SERIES Powerbooks have no ram onboard. And the Kanga IS a G3 Powerbook and has ram onboard.

Re: Mac keyboards (was: Shift-apple-cmd-power key combo?)
And don't get me started on the following issue: the popular shortcuts in programs (Photoshop, for example) are activated: - by Ctrl (Ctrl-S) on Windows. Ctrl is the leftmost key on most PC keyboards. - by Command (Command-S) on Mac. Command is the key just left to the spacebar on Apple keyboards. - by Windows key on a PC keyboard connected to a Mac. Windows key is exactly in between the keys mentioned above. - by Ctrl key on Mac keyboard connected to a PC. Talk about confusion and inability to use your muscle memory! I don't blame any platform for this problem, and I see no simple solution to it [1], but this is 20 years after both platforms started and we're still suffering... Simply put, the keyboard shortcuts for many of the actions we now take for granted were already in the first Macintosh (128k, back in 1984). These included Cmd-c for copy, Cmd-v for paste, Cmd-a for select all and such. When Windows appeared a few years later, they decided to use the same letters, but alas the Command key was not present on pc keyboards (as is not, to this day), so they used Control instead. Then macs started to come with a Control key, as well a Command key. There was also no Alt key in macs. There was an Option key, which was marked with the railway symbol from early on. Nowadays, it is marked Alt, but old time mac users (like me :-)) still think of it as the Option key. Kind of strange, when you tell someone something like drag the icon while holding Command and Option to create an alias and people say I don't have an Option key in my keyboard.

Re: Apple menu additions
Hi Claire I use the Dock to open all my applications and I'm very happy with it. I just like the hierarchy part of the apple menu in the earlier OS's. It's just a faster way to get to things that are not used as often. I downloaded Classic Menu from the Version Tracker site. It's very simple and works great. By the way, does anyone remember Now Utilities? Isn't that where Apple got the idea in the first place? Dean The hierarchy in the Apple Menu directly mimicked the one inside the Apple Menu Items folder. This was, in my view, quite elegant.

Re: regular PB maintenance
I bought my 17 1.5 GHz PowerBook last summer, and then installed 2 GB of RAM a few months ago. While I am not running anything high-powered right now, I have not noticed any improvement in going from the 512 RAM to the 2 GB RAM. Not only that, but things are beginning to slow down, as if my hard drive was nearly full. (I have 53 GB left of an 80 GB drive.) I may have asked this question last summer. I am wondering what routine maintenance can/should be done on a PowerBook to keep it in tiptop running condition. Thanks, Claire In my experience, the performance tends to degrade over time, but there is an easy solution. I periodically run the fine and free utility OnyX and have it done the maintenance tasks (like clearing cache files, virtual memory files and all that). My children's BW G3, which I had neglected to do that on for months, all of a sudden seemed like a completely new machine after doing it. Of course, the benefits will not be as evident if you do it regularly, but then again neither will be the degradation :-) As a side bonus, OnyX also lets one control other nice details, like having both scroll buttons in both ends of scroll bars, or adding a quit command to the finder, or safari's debug menu, etc. Incidentally, these routine maintenance procedures are usually preset by the system to occur daily, weekly or monthly at some late night hour (2am, or something), but most people don't keep their macs on overnight, so they are not run.

Re: PB (10.3.5) to VCR/TV display
I have an S-Video to RCA adapter (which came with my Dell laptop). I have a cable with 3-prongs (white/red/yellow) on each end. I plugged the yellow into the VCR in RCA jack and plugged the other end into the SVideo to RCA adapter and plugged that into my Powerbook. I rebooted the Powerbook with this all plugged in and the VCR turned on. I went to System Preferences Displays and clicked 'Detect Displays Nothing. It seems to indicate a bad (or not compatible) adapter. Using the S-video adapter that came with my Lombard, I had no problems, TiBook and Lombard detect displays in a blitz. Trying a third part adapter yelded no success. Also note that adding an additional Scart/white-red-yellow to the chain (when the VCR does not have RCA in -I mean the yellow one- and you use the scart-in) disrupts the whole game, at least in my experience. cheers, gianfranco I think it all boils down to how the mac can sense that there is a tv monitor attached to it. The S-video port on the PB actually has more pins (I believe 7 vs 4) than a regular S-video plug. The adapter that comes with the PB has these extra pins, one or more of them actually carry the composite video signal. The adapter just gives you a regular RCA jack to get the composite signal from. The bottom line is that the PB can output BOTH an S-video signal AND a composite video signal. (So the adapter is NOT converting any S-video to composite). I don't know the Dell, but it could be that the adapter you have may actually be a CONVERTER (with the 4 S-video pins and some circuitry that converts the signal to composite). If this is the case then probably the mac can no longer sense what is a the other end of this circuitry.

Re: advice re secondhand laptop configuration
Well, if both printers are serial, then you would not be able to use them in OS X, unless you get a USB to serial adapter like the Belkins' one. If you do get that kind of adapter, then I would suggest a Pismo. Otherwise, a Wallstreet might be better since it has serial ports but, remember, you won't be able to run OS X and print. Furthermore, if you go with a Wallstreet, the last officially supported version of OS X to run on it is 10.2, although the hack XPostFacto apparently lets you install 10.3 on a Wallstreet and other officially unsupported Macintosh... -Laurent. -- Running 10.3.4 on my Wallstreet 233MHz (384MB of RAM) with the generous help of XPostFacto. It is completely stable and significantly faster than Jaguar. (Your mileage may vary, of course) That said, I think that the Pismo is probably the choice I'd make: usb and firewire built-in, plus dvd support on OS X, and the fact that it is a new world rom machine make this a better choice, in my opinion. You can get usb, firewire and wi-fi (and I have) on the wallstreet via cardbus cards; Airport can be had on the Pismo internally. On the Wallstreet you can have at most two, or perhaps one at a time, depending on the thickness of the cardbus cards. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Belkin wireless
Just a quick to let you folks know that the Belkin wireless 54g cardbus card WORKS with Panther (I'm the person who inquired in this list whether or not it did). I read in lowendmac that it should work with Airport 3.1, so I went and bought it. It worked right out of the box on my Wallstreet (running 10.3.4 *very well*, thanks to XPostFacto). It appears in the menu bar as Broadcom 802.11g (afaik, this indicates the kind of chipset the card uses, so other cards with the same chipset ought to work, too). Also, if a version of Airport 3.1 or greater is available for jaguar (I don't have any machine running jaguar, so I don't know), then I imagine it should work also. As far as using it, it works just as if the machine had an airport card. Now I have a nearly 6 years old machine, which can do Panther, and has Firewire (Newertech card), Usb 2.0 (another Belkin card) and wireless g. And I did not install any drivers, these cards were supported by the drivers included in the OS (for the first two, I can confirm that they work with Jaguar). That's one thing to consider when people are choosing between a new iBook and a new Powerbook. Who knows what new technologies do arise in the next few years?

Re: Adding printer to a Pismo 10.3.4
Greetings Lista's, I am running 10.3.4 on a Pismo and am trying to add a PLW NTR printer to the system via an Asante bridge that I just got...I have the unit hooked up according to the directions but have absolutely no idea how to add the NTR as an available printer in 10.3.4 When I go to the Apple help site it shows that the drivers for this printer are included on Panther. Unfortunately, I just can't figure out how to add the printer or get the system to recognize that it's hooked up.. I really need to get this done as my regular printer, an Epson 740 is 125 miles away..back home. I called A/C for help and since I bought Panther over 90 days ago they wanted to charge me $49 to talk about it Is there anyone in the group that can help me with this problem? I have a cell phone that gives me free calls after 9pm so I would gladly call whoever can help in order to walk me through the process.. The Personal LaserWriter NTR is an AppleTalk printer so, assuming your bridge is working fine, the printer name should appear in Print Setup Utility when you choose to add an AppleTalk printer. -Laurent. Maybe the printer does not appear automatically. I think that it was not as simple, when I added my Deskwriter. Let me try to recap; maybe it will be useful. 1. Make sure that AppleTalk is active on the required connection in your mac; that should be the ethernet port - go to Network Preferences, select Show: Built-in Ethernet and click on the Appletalk tab. Then select the box that says Make Appletalk active (if it was not already, then you found the likely cause of your troubles). 2. Try and see if the printer now appears: go to Printer Setup Utility, and click on Add; then select Appletalk and see if it is there. If it is, then you're ok. If it still does not appear, then maybe you need a slightly more complicated route. 3. Open Terminal and type atlookup (without the quotes). [Don't worry, that's the only thing you have to use the Terminal for] Wait a few seconds. A few lines of output such as ffd6.10.84 HP LaserJet 4ML:LaserWriter should appear. If the printer is recognized in your Appletalk network, a line similar to the above but with some name involving Personal Laser Writer should be among them. Note the second part of the line (I'll use the one above as an example here, substitute the relevant names). 4. Open Printer Setup Utility, HOLD the OPTION KEY and click Add. Choose Advanced and then Appletalk Printer Access Protocol. Under Device name:, choose a name you wish to call your printer by. Under Device URI:, you should put something like pap://HP%20LaserJet%20ML/LaserWriter (note that you should: a) keep the pap:// b) replace the other colons ':' with slashes '/' c) replace spaces ' ' with the characters '%20' Finally, under printer model, select Apple and then the right model for you (or the most similar); in my mac, there is an entry for the Personal Laser Writer NTR, so you may be in luck!

Re: AIrport Extreme Printing.
I tried to get some help in the apple forums, but have had no luck so far. This week I got an Airport extreme base station to go along with my iBook G4. Setting up a network was pretty easy- I have my iMac G3 wired in, and the iBook connects wirelessly with an airport extreme card. The built in modem is great, lets me connect to my ISP via 56k, which is my only option right now, wirelessly. The network works great, except for the printer I have plugged into the base station. I have a HP PSC 750 plugged into the base station USB port. The software for it is loaded on both the iBook and the iMac, and both computers see the printer in the network via the rendevous selection, but I can not access it with either computer in any way shape or form. The one lead I have is that when trying to access the printer via rendevous it says the drivers are not loaded. Can anyone help? TIA, Brian HP drivers are usually awful... may I inquire what is the version of the driver you have? 6.3.6 (the one, regrettably, in the hp site the last time I checked) is a total disaster. The previous, 6.3.4, is better. The first thing I would do is revert to version 6.3.4, if possible. IIRC, my printer had written in the box something to the effect of networking NOT supported; but, since mine has worked, even wirelessly, via usb printer sharing, i'd say there is hope. I think you should add the printer as HP all in one printing (or something to that effect), not as rendezvous. You should then be given a choice of usb or tcp/ip; the logical thing then would be to choose tcp/ip and put the ip address of the base station (probably 10.0.0.1, but you can find that out with Airport Admin Utility). I don't have a base station with print server, so I cannot test this. HTH Luis Sequeira I -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Virus FUD (was Re: DW or TTP? fork from Re: OS 10.3.5)
I hear you but I just can't seem to justify 100.00 (per year) for a virus program and other stuff I just don't need. I would rather spend 60.00 on a single program. I realize that virus on a Mac are the least of my problems but I am getting an amazing number of them through email. I believe I am passing them (unwillingly) to others who use Windows. I just want to take all precautions. There is no way you are passing those virus unwillingly. People may believe they receive infected e-mail from you, but that is because the viruses send e-mail with fake addresses: if someone with an infected windows machine has your address, then a virus may send infected messages that PRETEND to come from you to other people in this guy's address book. Then some of these messages may bounce and, of course, they bounce to you (the ALLEGED sender), but you did not send them and there is nothing you can do to prevent that. They can keep sending those messages regardless of you (no AV software, and not even turning off your mac forever can do anything about it).

To fix it restart into OS 9, put it to sleep, wake it up and then restart back into OS X and hopefully, all is well. Like James said, he tried to boot into Mac OS 9, but somehow he couldn't. I suggest resetting the PRAM (Cmd+Opt+P+R at startup until you hear the chime about four or five times, then release the keys). That, in principle, should make the Wallstreet boot into Mac OS 9 (which is the default OS for this machine), so that your suggestion could be applied.

Audio and Panther (was Re: Jaguar on Beige G3)
At least in the Powerbook, unless audio in is vital, Panther is the way to go. Do you mean that there are problems with using the audio inputs under Panther? I had never heard of that. I am running Panther on my 1GHz TiBook and was planning to do some (admittedly basic) audio stuff: digitizing some old audio tapes and LPs. Should I expect problems? I thought it would be pretty straightforward, as I once did just that on a Wallstreet with Mac OS 9. Luis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Scanner repetition. (and Rendezvous accolade)
You can't. The airport USB is a print server only. There are two ways to do what you want. One is to connect the scanner to another computer and share it that way. This is dependent on the scanner software having a sharing feature. Keyspan has a device called a USB Server http://www.keyspan.com/news/news.040108USBServer.spml. They were showing it at MacWorld San Francisco but it doesn't look as if it's released yet. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway I was afraid of this. I'll look at Keyspan maybe it's a solution. Thank you Clark, very much. Greetings, Andre In Panther, one is supposed to be able to share scanners (and digital cameras) through Image Capture. If you have a desktop machine running Panther, and your Powerbook is also on Panther, then you may be able to achieve scanner sharing that way. 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). This was not a total surprise, because hp explicitly states that this psc 750 is not networkable (and it does not even work as a shared printer with usb print sharing :-(). Depending on the scanner model that you have, you might have more luck. I can't help expressing my admiration for Rendezvous... I could see my (Powerbook connected)digital camera pictures in Safari (running in my kids' BW) by just selecting it from the Rendezvous tab... no need to look for addresses, etc. (though it also works with http:/address.of.sharing.mac:5100). Amazing! Luis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OS 10.3.3
10.3.3. on a Pismo. It claims that networked servers will appear in the sidebar. But that applied before in my 3.2. Can't discern any changes - good or bad. What should I be looking for? (I'd love to be able to make appearance changes - fonts etc - in iCal). TONY Only networked servers that were connected by entering their address directly (or by selecting from the favorite servers list) used to appear in the sidebar (and on the desktop). If you used the Network button in the sidebar or the browse button in the Connect to server dialog to find a server, then it would NOT appear in the sidebar. This has (at last!) been fixed in 10.3.3 (this strange behavior had been introduced with 10.3). Luis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Swapping out a DVI TiBook display
Scott, How much did you pay for the display? I have a Ti 500Mhz with a broken LCD display, and was wondering if it is worth to replace it. Luis On Mar 6, 2004, at 7:57 AM, Scott Howe wrote: TiBook Swap out update: The LCD that my client bought on ebay was defective. I will soon be sending out the sellers info to hopefully prevent others from getting burned. I just don¹t have it right now. Other than that, the swap out was successful from a purely technical view. I won't say it was easy. It was delicate and nerve wracking, but successful. Copius amounts of Super Glue seemed to do that trick with the hinges too. It was rock solid. If anyone has to do this procedure in the future, contact me and I'll help out if I can.

I'd love to get the skinny right from Apple as to how they do it. I've wondered what sort of adhesive Apple used in the TiBooks as I currently have a pair of disassembled TiBooks and would like to shtick 'em back together again. Recently I stumbled across some relevant info in one of Apple's patents, patent number 6,574,096 - Use of titanium in a notebook computer. It's got lots of details on the TiBook's design and construction, plus it has interesting 'discussions' about Ti glue - go down about 2/3 of this page (or just repeatedly search the page for 'glue'): http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser? Sect1=PTO2Sect2=HITOFFu=/netah tml/search-adv.htmr=80f=Gl=50d=PTXTs1=apple.ASNM.p=2OS=AN/ appleRS=A N/apple From the above page: Virtually any type of glue suitable for bonding injection molded materials to titanium or titanium alloys may be used. An exemplary glue suitable for use in various embodiments of the present invention is Lord's glue 201/19 manufactured by the Lord Corporation of Cary, N.C. Here's on Lord Corporation's web site is their Engineered Adhesives page: http://www.lord.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=520 I had a heck of a time finding just what sort of glue is '201/19', but eventually found infos in this doc: http://literature.lord.com/root/other/ Metal_Bonding_Selector_Guide.pdf ACRYLIC ADHESIVES - LORD 201/19 Applications - Bare metals, plastics and composites Working Time - 5-8 minutes Handling Time - Fast, 12-16 minutes Full Strength - 2 hours, heat cure typically not recommended Easy to dispense, Self-leveling Comments - Minimal surface preparation, fast cure, good environmental resistance. Now I just need to follow up and find a source from whom I can actually purchase some of this stuff . . . Scott, can you tell us what sort of epoxy you used? And how it seemed to work? I was concerned that many epoxies are brittle, and so maybe not good for a device that gets so much handling. Not that I know much about epoxies, or the above mentioned ACRYLIC ADHESIVE either . . . hth, Dan K PS: for a search that calls up all of Apple's patents, an interesting adventure in its own right: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?
