Re: Printer advice
I use an Epson WF-3540. It is an all-in-one printer, scanner and fax. Prints double-sided. Has LED touch-screen. It can be wired or use wireless networking. Has two paper trays, It has AirPrint. Very Mac friendly. Have had it a year now and it has proven to be sturdy and high quality.

Re: G5 archive install - how to go back?

I believe (rather late at night) I clicked 'Archive Install' but disclicked on 'save network settings' as I wanted new network drivers installed. 465 G HD is showing 191 G available so 275 g on disk - I presume there is much more on drive than just 10.5.6. How can I find old sys files? Old sys is not offered on 'select startup disk' I just went through getting wifi to work (finally) on my G5 tower. After much googling found out that 10.5.6 is very flaky when it comes to wifi so you definitely want to be on 10.5.8. Also are you getting a failed connection message or an invalid password message? I was originally getting failed connection but after fiddling about I started getting invalid password. I knew the password was correct but it just refused to accept it. Turns out I had to allow WPA passwords on my Airport Extreme router and select WPA for passwords on the G5 (WPA2 wouldn't work). A couple of things people reported re upgrading to 10.5.8 - first you need to be sure to install the 10.5.8 combo update last after other upgrades are installed. Also I had to make the ethernet service (network settings panel) inactive for my Airport card to work (got rid of the failed connection message and then became invalid password, which I described above). Now it works fine, although it is slower than ethernet, but I got rid of that long cable :) Hope this helps.

Re: iMac as an alarm clock?
At least on Tiger, you go to the Energy Saver preferences and then select Schedule.

I have stumbled upon this app called iRooster, but it costs as much as my Mac did, so that will be a last resort.

(I'm pretty sure this works the same in 10.2 although it might be a little different) As for logging in, if you're logged into the computer while it went to sleep, it'll wake up and already be logged in. If it's off, you'll have to turn on automatic login in the Users pane, I don't see any other way to get it to log in, since it can't run programs or anything when it's not logged in. Umm as far as getting iTunes to play... Not sure. If 10.2 has iCal, you can set an alarm for a few minutes after you have it start (allowing time to start up). I haven't messed with it much, but in iCal I'm pretty sure you can configure it to do something, perhaps run a script. (I'm pretty sure Automator scripts don't work in 10.2...) Perhaps someone here can find/write a script that would give iTunes the Start command, and Play command. Or, if you want to set iTunes to start up on login, you'd just need a Play script. I have had a *little* bit of AppleScript experience, and I don't think it would be that hard. If I have some time, I might see if I can script something up that does that. (But don't count on it... I probably won't be able to get it to work lol) There are alarm clock apps, as Nestamicky suggested, but I think they cost some money. You might look into something like that. I found that just having my computer wake up in the morning woke me up, just from the brightness, and the noise of it waking up. So you might just see if that's enough to wake you up before you buy an alarm clock, or try to find a script.

I'm not on my mac now so I can't walk you through it, at least to make it startup and log you in. But go to the power management panel on Preferences and you'd find it. As regards getting it to play, there's Alarm Clock Pro which does a bunch of stuff, including running scripts, when the alarm goes off. Others here might have suggestions for a free app. I suppose someone might even guide you to an automator script that may do this. I'm watching this thread to see responses to those points.

You can try the LEM Swap group, I bought two 512 mb memory sticks (PC133 SDRAM) there to bring my G3 up to 1 gb. Prices were good. It is very easy to add RAM, there is a trap door that opens to reveal the two memory slots. 1gb is the maximum RAM for the G3 iMac. I also added a DVD drive to replace the CDROM which was flaky and upgraded to an 80gb drive which I also got from the LEMSwap group.

Re: putting a DVD into a Ruby iMac?
Hello , I replaced the CDROM in my 500mhz G3 (1 gb RAM) with a DVD/CDROM a few months ago so it is not only possible it worked great. The swap is pretty easy and requires just a screwdriver. Some of the screws are rather small so it helps if the screwdriver is magnetized, especially if you drop one in the machine :) The instructions for opening up the iMac G3 are available online. I used the drive to install Tiger but never tried playing a movie until just now. In fact it's playing a movie right now. It doesn't play in full screen but covers most of the screen, preserving the aspect ratio of the movie format. One thing I can tell you is I had to close most other applications to get the DVD to play smoothly, but it is only a 4x DVD. Freeing up CPU and memory makes the movie play much better, With OS9 installed on your machine performance may actually be better...

Re: Help, my date and time is wrong! =(
sounds like your time zone is wrong... I had the same issue but changing the time zone took care of it. Click on the time up in the top right hand corner, select Open Time Date and then make sure you have selected the closest city to you and it should adjust accordingly (after you select Update Now...). Hope that helps! If your clock is off every time you power off and back on, then your PRAM battery is most likely dead. This is relevant to an older machine. I just replaced my battery and now the time stays dead on and my computer doesn't think it's 1970! jd On Oct 28, 2008, at 12:03 AM, Molokaicreeper wrote: I have it set to the time server in Apple Americas/US time it says my time is 2am, but everyone around me and google says my time is 3am Please what is going on?
