Re: How do I tell which connection

[Chance Reecher]

If the AP Express is wired into your network, there is no need to keep
Airport active. I have an AP express that I don't even use for wireless
that is just connected with an ethernet cable and it works great for
AirTunes.

OT - How do you get a TextEdit file with half inch margins?

[Jonas Lopez]

Dear Listers,

How do you get a TextEdit file with half inch margins? 

I have tried everything and did get a 1 inch margin, but no half inch, can you 
help or send an attachment (off list) of your work file.

Version 1.4 on G4 10.4.11.

G4 QS (2002) power problem?

[mythmaker18]

My Quicksilver G4 has suddenly developed what I can only describe as a 
power problem. I have it configured with three hard drives and an optical 
drive. Two hard drives (including boot drive) are connected to the standard 
hard-drive controller on the motherboard, the optical and third drive are 
connected to the other.

Everything has worked perfectly for quite some time.

Recently, I did a bunch of drive swapping so I could troubleshoot a 
problematic drive for a friend. When I re-assembled "my" drives back into 
their original configuration, I suddenly developed this problem. Whenever I 
go to start up the system, one of two things happens: I either get the 
flashing question mark, or the system acts like it will start up, but after 
the grey apple disappears from the screen (just before the "Welcome to Mac 
OS X" screen is supposed to appear), the computer turns itself off!

The boot drive has been recently run through (and repaired by) Disk 
Warrior. 

The REALLY odd thing is that when I connect my boot drive to the OTHER ATA 
motherboard connector (where the optical drive usually goes), the computer 
starts up just fine. The other thing that's different in this setup is that 
since the normal 4-pin power connector won't "reach" that far, I had to 
unplug that one and plug in the "spare" one (the unsed one that reaches to 
the spot on the lower front of the case).

So, I'm guessing either the power supply is going bad or the primary ATA 
connector, unless someone has some other ideas? If it is the power supply, 
you think I'm okay to keep using it with the good "spare" connector, or 
should I just start looking for a secondhand power supply and do a 
replacement ASAP (if that's even the problem).

I cannot help you with TextEdit (I never liked it), but I strongly suggest
you (and anybody else ;-) to try iText instead!

Alas, it's webpage was based on MobileMe, no more available, but you can
find it elsewhere, e.g. here:
http://download.cnet.com/iText/3000-2079_4-11309308.html

It's nice, it's friendly, it has more features than TextEdit, it's simpler
to use, and it's free!
I've been using it since OS9 times, and I never found anything better for
simple (and even not-so-simple) text handling.

And, yes, with iText you can set your page margins (in the Format/Page
Layout menu), as well as a lot more.

Does the G4 boots Ok if you have just the boot drive connected?
(in its regular place)

We need to know if the problem lies in that specific drive or placement, or
in presence of all the drives.
3 HD and an optical might be too much for the power supply? Do you have many
PCI cards inserted? (they can suck power as well, especially a fast graphic
card)

If things change just using a different power connector, it should have
nothing to do with the power supply: it should be a failing connector (but
that should fail the boot process, not make the G4 switch off - unless
there's a short circuit!).

Hello John:

This sounds similar to a problem I used to have with ClarisWorks and  
Appleworks.  The signature file from Acrobat may only be pointed to  
from the document you want to send.  It may require both files to show  
that the document is "signed".  You alluded to this earlier.  You may  
be able to use shift-command-4 to take a picture of the signed  
document and send it.  You may be able to open the "signed" document  
in another editor, Photoshop, Preview, TextEdit, Acrobat 9? etcetera,  
and save a single "signed" document file that way by saving in several  
different formats.


Just to be clear, either way, your email client apparently is not  
including the "signature" file from Acrobat.


Second thought, hard way:  Print document out, sign, scan or take  
digital picture (digital camera), send.  Maybe Kinkos (Fedex) could  
help here.


Hope this helps.

Bob

Since you confused it with drive swaps did you hit the cuda button or

Hello Mythmaker:

Always go back to the simplest configuration, then vary until you find  
the problem.


Use the most trusted drive with the known good connection (CD ATA  
connection), then your other drives one by one on the more trusted  
(CD) connection, if that works, try the trusted drive with the suspect  
connection.  Continue using one boot source at a time until problem  
reoccurs or adding additional drives causes the problem.


I suspect that your friends problem drive hurt your ATA controller.  I  
used to trouble shoot drives all the time for friends and family, but  
I finally realized that a bad drive can damage your motherboard.  I  
put problem drives in external drive cases or save to the side to be  
used alone.  My drive and motherboard problems have dropped by about  
90% over the past 3 years.


So, I'm guessing either the power supply is going bad or the primary  
ATA connector, unless someone has some other ideas?



You should be able to find pinouts (voltage for each pin of your power  
supply connector) on the web and use a voltmeter to check them.

I did hit the cuda switch. Even changed the PRAM battery, though I

I think TextEdit has draggable tabs - the small icons on the top ruler -
for the side margins and you can use simple multiple returns for the top and
bottom margins - half inch would be around three 9pt or 10pt line returns to
give around 36pts including line spaces.
