Re: thumb drives (jump drives)
You mean that 9.1 accepts the thumb drive without problems but for some reason 9.2.2 does not? The machine I am having trouble using the thumb drive with only has 9.2.2 on it - that is the the point of the thumb drive - to move stuff form that computer to the one with 10.4. --- parishky...@gmail.com wrote: From: Kyle Parish parishky...@gmail.com To: imaclist@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: thumb drives (jump drives) Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2009 23:07:25 -0700 Try clicking on the apple in the right corner.

Re: thumb drives (jump drives)
Basically I am saying that I have had a lot of problems with 9.2, compared to 9.1.

The package says it works with Mac OS 9.1.x+ and OS X. I got it to transport files between my trusty Dalmation and the new FlowerPower I just bought. The Dalmation has OS 9.2.2 on it and the Flower Power has 10.4 The thumb drive's icon appears on the Mac with OS 10.4 but will not appear on the desktop of the Dalmation with 9.2.2. Is there something more I need to do when or after inserting it into the Dalmation to make it work? I tried simply inserting it and also leaving it in while rebooting. How is the flash drive formatted? What brand? Most flash drives are in FAT32. Some of the later SanDisk units have problems with Macs. I suspect that OS 9 does not like whatever format is on the flash drive. See if you can reformat it into HFS+. That should work fine with both iMacs, but then it will likely not be compatible with Windoze PCs.

Re: Firewall ports?
Firewire, or IEEE 1394, ports allow for daisy chaining, so as long as you have another Firewire ports on either of the external back up drives, all you have to do is plug it into one of them. I too have a 1.42 Ghz eMac and that is what I do. All it takes is a standard Firewire cable to connect one to another. I believe you are allowed to daisy chain up to 7 before you are required to have a hub, but not sure about that part. Garth In a message dated 2/1/2009 1:44:08 P.M.

Re: mac compatible monitor?
Kathy K wrote: I have a G4 quicksilver, about 7+ years old that I am looking for a monitor for. I just bought a 19 Acer lcd monitor that I thought was going to work with both PC and Mac (I was thinking of sharing the monitor between two computers). I discovered it works with the PC but not the Mac. With the Mac, a message comes up that says it can't transfer the data or can't interpret it or something. (If the exact message would help I'll plug it in again and repost.) I did quite a bit of searching online before I bought this monitor, and thought it was PC/Mac compatible... but maybe I ended up purchasing the wrong model. So, the question is - is there an adapter that would make this work with the Mac? Or do I need to shop for another monitor, and if so—how do I find one for sure that will work with this G4? (Other than buying an Apple monitor.) Odds are it is just an unsupported resolution or sync frequency. Do you have a second monitor attached to this computer? If you do then bring up System Preferences / Display. Click on a button called something like Collect Windows. It will bring both Display System Preferences windows to that screen. You can then change the resolution and sync. Try setting it to 800 x 600 @ 60Hz. You can then set the resolution to the monitor's native res and try different sync settings. If you don't, try doing a PRAM zap. This will reset the monitor setting to something likely to work. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
