The G3 card may be low res.

A look at LEM archives from that era might give an idea for a card. Or ask
sellers on the swap list.
Early in the century(!) the video list was way more active.

It doesn't matter, VHS is "low res" (640x480).

You can digitalize at 640x480 using Apple Video Player in OS 9 using a  
Beige's WINGS AV card input.

Re: Leopard Mail.app issues

[Bill Connelly]

I've been experiencing some relative random crashes and inability to  
send e-mail from time to time, too.

Leopard 10.5.7, Mail.app Version 3.6 (935/935.3), Verizon DSL POP  
"outgoing.verizon.net".

Its usually my 5th in the list mailbox that just spins from time to   
time. Others get sent, but this one's acting weird.

I concluded it might have something to do with a Rule that I had  
constructed to send Junk mail to a spamnotcaught type service ...  
Verizon has changed that, and I haven't traced the changes down  
yet ... I believe it a new Verizon "spam not caught" address.

I also thought hacker?

Still unresolved.

I just noticed in my Account for this outgoing server used for the  
troublesome mailbox, somehow "Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL)" had been  
checked. All 4 other accounts had it unchecked.

I'm now using same settings, Use default ports(25,465,587), for all  
accounts. Will see what happens.

Re: G4 with Tiger has problems recognizing USB drives

[Geke]

If anyone knows how I can make the Mac ignore that my MP4 player is
"violating Section 9.3.5 of the USB Specification" (like Windows XP
does...), I’d be happy.

But, as I know now that I can use the micro-SD card on the Mac, and
that card goes into the player, it’s almost as good: I can put stuff
on the card first, then when I’m near a PC, move things to the
internal memory of the player.

When buying a reader, watch for the spec "SDHC". At geeks, there is
this one:
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=CX-R6368A-2-BP&cpc=SCH
or even cheaper at ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330340836109

Thanks for the help!

In the future, please zip the crash logs and provide a url to 
download them.  Sending them in plain text, wrapped and re-wrapped by 
mail programs, just makes them nasty to read.  A free service such as 
Dropbox works really well for passing such archives around.  A 
service like pastebin.com works well too.

Apple ran to my head and made me nuts. Crazy believing that stuff works 
a whole lot more time than they don't. I've been trying mail.app and 
have come to the conclusion that I'd stick with T-Bird. I do love the 
option in mail.app to copy and reply, this gives a clean response page, 
allowing you to respond to a single or many lines from an e-Mail, 
discarding the rest which won't show up in your response. I wish someone 
can write a plugin that puts this feature in T-bird. At times I tell 
mail.app to get  new mail and it just sits there. Restarting it always 
work though...but...really?

Apple Mail makes me run screaming for Eudora.  Its inability to give 
good feedback when a problem occurs drives me nutz!

The source indicates version 10.0.12.36, so Flash 10; the current Mac  
version is 10.0.22.87; adobe says 10.4 or better for OS X.

You can go here  to get  
Flash 9 and see if it works, but generally, 10.2 is the OS X  
equivalent of Windows 98 nowadays...meaning it's pretty much obsolete.

The site works for me on 10.5.7 with Flash Player 10.0.22.87 in Safari  
4.0.2, but it takes a long time to load, and I have a fast connection,  
and a fast dual 2.3 G5.

I don't think you'll be able to make this work in 10.2.8. It seems  
probable this site requires both a fast connection and a fast computer  
to display properly?

Freezing after going to sleep????????

[Ricardo Sevilla]

Ok so I have a weird problem. I keep having my g4 either crash or 
whatever on me. Here is the scenario as it has occured many times to me 
in just the past week. I have my g4 sawtooth that has been upgraded to a 
owc 1.2ghz processor with 2 gigs of ram. it has a 500 gig hdd and a 
superdrive in it. so far the only thing that has not been upgraded is 
the video card. I thought i would do it but I think i might have to do 
this sooner than I planned. the problem happens rather frequently now so 
it is time to dedicate some serious time and money (if I have to) to fix 
this problem. I will turn on my computer and everything appears normal. 
except for the fact that my external hdd takes about a year and a half 
to mount on my desktop if it ever does decide to mount. now this is not 
the problem while allowing the computer to got to sleep on its own I 
will  try to wake it and it will not wake up, well I shouldnt say it 
will not wake up because the mouse will appear on the screen but nothing 
else will show up. this is after the screensaver comes on though. while 
it "freezes" the mouse still appears and is moveable and controllable

still nothing. I have looked at the console log and the only thing that

that thank you to all that read this and PEACE.

It definitely does not need a fast connection or a fast computer. I  
have it fully loaded, in a few seconds, on my not so fast iMac. It is  
abit choppy I must say, with Opera 10 Beta 2.

Flash Player 10 system requirements according to Apple are a 500MHz

G4 MDD?

[DAN A CURRIE]

Hello All and Lady Witt,

I am wanting to upgrade my children's (my old) G4 MDD 1.25 Dualie, 2 GB 
RAM, 3 HD, OS10.5.4 to the 1.42 Ghz Dual processors and heat sink.

The buss speed is 167 so I should have had no problems.

However, when I swapped the processors, heat sinks (big brass one), 
pressed the cuda button and then powered up and I got the "boing" but 
the monitor did not display anything. I tried again and still the same, 
I then put everything back as it was and it started just fine and is 
running now.

What did I get wrong??

I believe this ability to move the cursor without any action, is a  
sign that the System HD isn't active any longer. When I used to boot  
from external Firewire HDs sometimes the connection to the HD would  
fail, and if I hot-re-plugged the Firewire cable or cycled the power  
to the Firewire enclosure, or both, sometimes the System would spring  
back to life again.

If this only happens after sleep, you should either uncheck the option  
to "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" in the Energy Saver  
preferences, or disable sleep completely. I never use sleep on any of  
my Macs, so sleep was not a cause of the similar issue I've seen with  
Firewire HDs, but I'm almost certain your issue is the System HD not  
waking and being off-line to the System.

If you need sleep, you might restart once in Safe Boot by hold the  
shift key at startup which will rebuild the cache files. Then boot  
again normally and see if that helps? I wouldn't hold my breath.

Another thought: If your 500GB HD is a Seagate, some of these had bad  
firmware that was causing problems. AFAIK you'd need a PC to upgrade  
the firmware. Here's a website to check for bad Seagate HDs:


You'd get a lot better System response if you got a new video card to  
replace the AGP Rage Pro. There are AGP cards that support Quartz  
Extreme & Core Image/Animation that will give your System a boost  
almost as great as the CPU upgrade. I don't believe the Rage card has  
anything to do which this dynamic "freeze" you're experiencing, but I  
do know a new card would dramatically speed up even common things like  
scrolling large complex webpages.

Re: G4 MDD?

[Jonas Ulrich]

Make sure that all the connections are clean. Then when you have the new
processor in, as soon as you here the apple chime, hold down: command(the
one with the apple) + options + P + R. The computer should restart again and
you should here it chime again. Let it chime 3 or 4 times and then let up
and see what happens.

I have tried booting into safe mode by holding down the shift key but it 
doesnt do anything. This is what it does. I hold down the shift key, 
while I press the power button and then the boong sound occurs. 
After the sound nothing happens even if I hold the key and even if I let 
it go. NOTHING. Am I doing it wrong? I truly appreciate the resonse.

Sometimes, this could mean the HD is going / gone bad.

Will it startup from the OS X DVD?

You can also e-mail Seagate Support and give them the model number of  
the drive. to see if its one that had bad firmware ... but I don't  
think the 500GB ATAs did (mine did not).

I would reseat the ATA cable connectors, and see if that solves the  
problems. Make sure it is properly jumpered (I believe the safe  
setting for a single Seagate drive is Master).

Also would try another HD, physically in place of the current one.

Sometimes bad RAM can disguise itself in a number of ways ... you  
might remove all but one stick to see if it starts up.

Just guessing as to what I would do ... didn't you have this problem a  
few weeks ago?

Exactly.  The system gets as far as it can, but quickly everything 
gets "stuck" waiting for the memory manager to page things in, from 
the swap and other image files, from the HD that isn't responding. 
Then things start to fail faster and faster until the deadlocks 
bollux everything, even the high priority routines like moving the 
mouse cursor on the screen

Memory, bus, or HD problem.

Please *zip* up your entire system.log and email it to me. I'll take a look.

In the mean time, run a Verify Disk pass on all volumes.  Make sure 
your file system is intact.

For now, stop it from going to sleep and disable the HD sleep too. 
Then go update your backups!

Not overly useful.  Need to see the *whole* log.

That segment shows you have the right ROM for that card.

Re: G4 MDD?

[Chance Reecher]

I have no idea if this will help, but I recently had an experience
with my MDD that might be helpful.
I own a 1.42 ghz MDD that had been acting up. I traced the problems to
the motherboard, and bought a replacement on ebay.
The replacement had a 167 bus speed, but was a different model number
than the board that came in my MDD.
When I tried to boot my G4 with the new board and my 1.42 processor, I
got no video and it never showed up on my network.
I'm guessing that's what's happening with your MDD right now. I may be
wrong, but it sure sounds like what was happening with mine.
