RE: Compatibility JVC Averio Video Camera HD Mac

2010-09-07 Thread Eric Volker
According to a quick Google search, the JVC Everio saves files in a
non-standard format that uses a .MOD extension. Here I'm assuming that you
can connect to the camera OK, but are seeing your videos saved as .MOD
files. Preliminary research seems to indicate that if you simply rename the
file from whatever.MOD to whatever.MPG, you should be able to open it in
Quicktime. Let us know if you have any problems renaming the file.

Several G3 iMac DV 400 MHz questions

2010-09-07 Thread Dennis B. Swaney
I originally posted this on Apple Discussions but thought I'd ask here 
also. Please ignore #1 as I have determined that the updater is not needed.


My sister has asked me to wipe out everything on the hard drive and 
reinstall Mac OS 9.2.2 plus Mac OS 10.4.11. Since it has been YEARS that 
I've done any OS 9 installs I have a few questions.


1. Before I start wiping and installing, I want to see if iMac Firmware 
Updater 4.1.9 needs to be installed. Is there an entry in Apple System 
Profiler that indicates this?


2. I plan on erasing the hard drive and have it zeroed. Since I know 
it will boot up into FireWire Target Disk Mode, I was planning on 
erasing the drive that way. Any problems doing it so?


3. Since I have a 9.2.2 install CD, I will boot from it to install Mac 
OS 9.2.2. However, how should I go about installing Mac OS 10.4? Boot 
from the DVD, or just do the install while the iMac is running on 9.2.2? 
I've never installed both OS 9.x and OS 10.x from scratch before.


4. Since I don't have any way to connect this old iMac to the Internet, 
is there any other way to run the Software Updaters for OS 9  OS 10? 
Perhaps by connecting it with an Ethernet cable to my PowerBook and 
sharing it's Internet connection?


Any other advice would be welcome.

Re: Several G3 iMac DV 400 MHz questions

2010-09-07 Thread Elliott Price
Dennis,

 My sister has asked me to wipe out everything on the hard drive and reinstall 
 Mac OS 9.2.2 plus Mac OS 10.4.11. Since it has been YEARS that I've done any 
 OS 9 installs I have a few questions.
 
 2. I plan on erasing the hard drive and have it zeroed. Since I know it 
 will boot up into FireWire Target Disk Mode, I was planning on erasing the 
 drive that way. Any problems doing it so?

Nope, no problems. I do this all the time. Depending on the size of the HD, 
zeroing could take a while... 

 
 3. Since I have a 9.2.2 install CD, I will boot from it to install Mac OS 
 9.2.2. However, how should I go about installing Mac OS 10.4? Boot from the 
 DVD, or just do the install while the iMac is running on 9.2.2? I've never 
 installed both OS 9.x and OS 10.x from scratch before.

I don't think that the 10.4 installer will run in OS9. Best to boot from the 
DVD. If you're going to use OS9 in Classic mode, it would probably be better to 
install OSX first.


 
 4. Since I don't have any way to connect this old iMac to the Internet, is 
 there any other way to run the Software Updaters for OS 9  OS 10? Perhaps by 
 connecting it with an Ethernet cable to my PowerBook and sharing it's 
 Internet connection?

That'll work. I do that all the time. On your Powerbook, just go into the 
Sharing preferences, and turn on Internet sharing from Airport to Ethernet. 
Make sure that both computers are set to DHCP. Be sure to turn it off when 
your'e done, because it can cause networking problems. This works OK sharing 
internet to OS9, but it's harder to get OS9 to connect up to the internet while 
doing this. 


 
 Any other advice would be welcome.

If you can, max out the RAM. It'll run so much better, and your sister will 
never regret it. Especially if you're going to be running OS9 in Classic mode. 

Elliott

Don't forget to partition the drive while you're in Disk Utility after 
you zero it out.


Internet sharing has never worked for me as easily as it seems it should 
be. Be sure to turn off the firewall in the Sharing or Security 
preference pane (depending on OS version). Whenever I've used internet 
sharing I've always ended up having to futz with it, sorry I can't be 
more specific than that.


You could also just disconnect your PowerBook and connect the iMac 
directly, that might actually be easier. Another way to go would be to 
get a router, not only does that allow you to connect more than one 
computer to the internet it also provides a hardware firewall.

That's fine. But since you need to boot on the OS X DVD, why not just
use Disk Utility from it?

When you initialize the disk, be sure to include the OS 9 drivers - if
you want to boot on OS 9. Otherwise all you can do with the OS 9
installation is use it as Classic mode under Tiger.

Boot on the OS X DVD and install Tiger. Boot on Tiger. Insert the OS 9
disc and run that installer.


4. Since I don't have any way to connect this old iMac to the
Internet, is there any other way to run the Software Updaters for OS 9
 OS 10? Perhaps by connecting it with an Ethernet cable to my

Internet connection sharing would work just fine. Sharing system
preferences, Internet tab. It will turn your PowerBook into a router for
a while...


Thanks for the info, Dan.

I haven't tried booting from the Tiger disc yet, but I'll give it a go.

Another decision is should I partition the drive and put Tiger on one 
and OS 9 on the other, or should I just leave the 40 GB drive as 1?

I did not see a Mac 4.5 in Mactracker so I am going to assume it is as 
you said a Power Mac. Technically this should go to either the G list or 
the Jaguar (10.2) list. Also when starting a new thread it is best to 
create a new topic rather than hijacking an existing topic. When a topic 
gets hijacked your message gets buried with all the messages relating to 
the original topic. You'll get better results with a new topic.

iTunes 10 will not support Jaguar (10.2), Panther (10.3), or Tiger 
(10.4). If you look around Apple's site, either under iTunes or under 
support you should find a download for a version that will run on 10.2.8.


Also I would suggest upgrading to Tiger if you can as it is more refined 
and supports more software. Apple no longer supports it but it is much 
better than Jaguar. Ever Panther would be a little bit better, Jaguar is 
about seven or eight years old now. Unfortunately Apple's OS' don't have 
the longevity of Microsoft's.

First things first.

First of all,tell us what Mac, what version of the OS you're using.

I can state that the email message in your sister's email box almost certainly 
(99.%) did NOT come from your computer...spam just doesn't work that way 
these days. The From: line is almost certainly forged.

Second the date being wrong is more likely due to a dead PRAM battery, and your 
normal wireless network wasn't enabled for some reason? There is no dialog I 
can think of you could get that would ask abot 'allowing or denying' incoming 
networks.

Tell us *exactly* what the error says.

Finally, the odds are enormously *against* you having a virus on your mac.
