Re: OS X on Lombard

2004-12-23 Thread rama chavy
hi, i remember reading that the lombard is picky about having more than 
256mb ram to install os x. i can't remember if it prefers the 256 in 
the lower or upper slot. after the installation of os x, reinstalling 
the ram should work fine. hope this helps.

Hi All,
For a few days now I have been trying in vain to install OS X (10.0.3 
as well as 10.2) on my daughter's 400 MHz powerbook Lombard with 320 
MB of RAM and a 6 Gig hard drive, that had been running OS 9 without a 
glitch essentially for as long as she had it (2 years).

The first try, installing it over OS 9.2.2, didn't get me anywhere so 
I wiped the hard drive clean, partitioned it into a 5 G part for OS X 
and a 1 G for OS 9, installed the latter without any problem, tried 
several other OS X installs but never got any further than about 2 min 
before the predicted end ( generally, however, it crashed long before 
that) after which, invariable, I found myself with a crashed 
powerbook. In those cases, a check with Disk First Aid revealed that 
the OS X partition had been corrupted but after a repair, the same 
seems to happen again albeit that the hard disk seems to be corrupted 
in different places.

If there is anyone out there who has had similar problems and was able 
to solve them: we are very eager to hear your suggestions!

Thanks,
Peter

iDVD doesn't support burning to external DVD-R drives, but there is a
patch. I've used it successfully on a G4 Cube with an external  
firewire
burner.

That said, I think the encoding will take a quite a bit longer on a
Pismo G3 than on any G4. I'm not sure how well iMovie runs on a G3,  
so
you'll have to play with it.
AFAIK, iDVD won't run on a non-G4 system because it relies on Altivec,
only
present in the G4, to perform the encoding.

Re: OT: Siemens M65 phone MacOSX

2004-11-05 Thread rama chavy
OS X has 'Bluetooth File Exchange' in Applications/Utilities, which 
allows you to transfer pictures, sounds, themes, etc. to and from your 
phone via bluetooth (IMHO faster than IR). Also via iSync free from 
Apple, you can sync up Address Book and iCal with your phone. Check the 
list of compatible devices  http://www.apple.com/isync/devices.html  . 
For the Pismo and T68i all you would need is a USB Bluetooth adapter. 
Another great reason to upgrade to OS X!

How about a Sony Ericsson with a Pismo G3 (400mhz) using OS 9? what 
kind of drivers or cables would i need and where would i get them?
If your SE phone has an IrDA (Infrared) port [such as T68i and later], 
you can use GSM Remote [check on VersionTracker] to connect it to the 
Pismo under OS9. This will allow you to back up your phone number 
information to Pismo.

You can do the same ( more) on OSX if you use the free Ericsson 
Client [again see VersionTracker]. It can connect via IrDA  
Bluetooth, and allows you to back up your phone numbers, camera 
pictures etc.

HTH.
