Subject: Isync
Date: Sun, 27 Oct 2002 11:05:03 +0800

Hi all, has anyone got Isync working between two networked Macs? I am
aware you have to have .Mac membership and that you have to have your
.Mac Member name and password in 'System Preferences>Internet'. I
thought my problem was that I had not registered for Isync and Ical as
it suggests you do in 'Ical>register Ical' and the same for Isync. I
tried that and got dumped into a product register which was no help at
all. I then contacted the helpful people at Apple Mt Hawthorn and
they suggested the apple help line which I tried :-( I was told,very
curtly,that they did not need registering. When I tried to politely
point out what it said in the programme I was given the answer "It
does not need registering".

I am obviously missing something and would be grateful for any help.
TIA
Mac

Superdrive Updater

[Reg Whitely]

Dear WAMUGgers with Superdrives

I just stumbled across this important update at 



It appears your drive might be damaged if you attempt to use the 
superdrive with new high speed disks soon to be made available:


"Important information about using high-speed media with your 
SuperDrive-equipped Power Mac G4 or iMac."


DVD media Apple is the industry leader in providing affordable and 
easy-to-use DVD authoring systems. Although all SuperDrive equipped 
Macs are compatible with all currently shipping 1x and 2x DVD-R media, 
new higher speed media will become available later this year — it is 
important that your SuperDrive be up to date before using this new 
media.


Using new high-speed media.
The DVD Forum recently released specifications for new high-speed discs 
for DVD recording (4x for DVD-R and 2x for DVD-RW). Media based on this 
new specification is expected to be available later this year. All 
SuperDrive equipped Macs can easily be updated to be compatible with 
this new media. Apple is providing a quick and easy way for customers 
to update their SuperDrive before this new media becomes widely 
available. This update will be available as an automatic update and as 
a manual update for both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.





Why do I need this update?
We recommend that all SuperDrives have this update. Some SuperDrives 
may already have it installed (see the section below which explains how 
you can check to see if your SuperDrive needs this update). One of our 
suppliers, Pioneer Electronics, Inc., has advised that some of its 
DVD-R/CD-RW drives (including some Apple SuperDrives) may be unable to 
recognize the new high-speed media, and that using this media may 
permanently damage the drive. Additionally, this update enables you to 
eject discs that do not comply with the CD specification or have 
mastering errors.


How do I know if my SuperDrive needs this update?
That’s easy: If you have a 17-inch flat-panel iMac, an eMac with 
SuperDrive or a new Power Mac G4 (introduced in August 2002) with 
SuperDrive, your system is already compatible with the new media. 
Models that do not have a SuperDrive do not need the update. If you 
have any other SuperDrive equipped iMac or Power Mac G4, you may need 
the update. You can easily verify if you need the update via the Apple 
System Profiler application. In Mac OS X, you’ll find the Apple System 
Profiler in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder. In Mac 
OS 9, you’ll find it in the Apple menu.


To verify if your SuperDrive-equipped Power Mac G4 or iMac needs the 
update, click the Devices and Volumes tab of the Apple System Profiler 
application, and then click the CD-RW/DVD-R disclosure triangle to see 
information about the device. If the Vendor Identification field names 
a manufacturer other than Pioneer, you don’t need the update. If the 
Vendor Identification field names Pioneer as the vendor, you may need 
the update. For drives with the Product Identification DVR-104, no 
update is required if the Device Revision number is A227 or higher. For 
drives with the product Product Identification DVR-103, no update is 
required if the Device Revision number is 1.90 or higher.

CD Drive and RW CDs

[Mervyn & Giuliana Bond]

My machine is a PowerMac Performa 6400 running OS 9.0.4.

A RW disc burnt on Toast on an iMac was given to me to read and my 
machine could not "see" it, that is, no icon appeared on the Desk 
Top. Ordinary read only disks can be seen without any bother.


Any thoughts please?

Merv

explorer favourites

[seymours]

Hi guys & Gals,
I am at present transferring files from a G3 B&W to a G3 powerbook. I 
have done all that is necessary but I can't figure out how to transfer 
my internet favourite sites from explorer, as I don't know where they 
are. Both computers are running system 10. 10 .1.5 and 10.2 
respectively. Can anyone tell me where they are?

Thanks in advance

6100 vram

[Meg Travers]

Hi all,

Yes, I have another couple of "project" machines...
I've got a couple of 6100's that I'm trying to make "go" so that I can
give them to computerless friends, but one of them doesn't have any
vram in it :-(

I don't suppose anyone has any just laying about or that they'd take
very little cash for? And if you have any spare ram for these as well...

Give me a shout if so :-)

Cheers,
Meg
