Ethernet Issues on PB G4
I used a friends PowerBook G4 on the weekend. At home I used a static IP / ethernet setup and updated it to 10.4.11. I then went on the road and installed and used a Three mobile broadband modem (drivers downloaded before I left.) Now I'm back and not for love nor money can I get it to work on an the ethernet network. I've removed the wireless modem device, checked all the IP settings (unchanged from before), the ethernet port is shown as connected but no browsing / seeing other machines on the network. Tried a PRAM reset without luck and new IP address. Any thoughts people? Cheers, Antony. -- == == = = Antony N.

That way you have a fresh starting point.

Re: Bad sectors on PB G4 - Need help
OK ! So you have a Laptop G4 with hard drive problems . That is not unusual for a Laptop and the most reliable answer is probably a new hard drive . See here : http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/powerbookg4/ topic2024.html Some people enjoy Tech tools . other's find it troublesome .

Re: Battery/Power Management on Al PB G4 using 10.4.7
Hi Greg I had same problem with an iBook G4. Took it in to an apple dealer as it was under warranty. They didn't know what it was, but exchanged the battery and that solved the problem. I did then read something about it at the Apple Support section of Apple's web site, acknowledging a battery problem I think.

Re: Battery/Power Management on Al PB G4 using 10.4.7
Hi Greg, The manual for your PowerBook probably stipulates that you must calibrate your battery within its first week of operation, and maybe periodically (check the manual for details). This is typically of Lithium Ion batteries (e.g., mobile phones are supposed to be recalibrated periodically to prevent them cutting out unexpectedly). From the sound of it, you battery does not know its full and empty capacities. To fix this, recalibrate it according to the PowerBook User's Guide (or buy a new battery). FYI The PowerBook has various low-power modes: low power warning; normal sleep; hibernate; abrupt power failure. Your battery has been progressing from hibernate down to abrupt power failure as the un-calibration gets worse. James.

Is this perhaps a PISMO Power book, has USb and Firewire Ports ! ? If you have been able to start with CD you should see Hard Drive on the Desktop . Look on that Hard Drive for your System Folder and inside it The Apple Menu folder. When the System is blessed there will be a little Apple sitting on the Folder. However , looking at your description I'm not sure . You said I rebooted with the USB and a music CD in the drive and thats where we are at the moment. Have been able reboot from CD but its 9.0. Does that mean you got the Music CD out and and put the System CD in ? If so, and you have done what Ronni suggested above and still no joy, then :- 1. Start from your CD, go to the Hard drive -System folder -System File . Double Click the System File and I think it should open like a Folder and show you a list of Fonts. If it comes up with an Error message it will be corrupted . If you have backups of YOUR system it is possible to get it going by dragging out the corrupted file and dragging in a good one , otherwise you will need to do a Clean Instal reinstallation . More on that if you have to do it. 2. If the Apple Menu Folder has the Apple on it , your problem could be just that the Power Book has it's knickers in a knot. a Pram Zap may fix that . At Startup before the chimes,hold down Apple + Option + P + R until the startup chimes sound for a second time . Lets know how you make out !

Open the Hard Drive Window and System Folder Window so you can see both. Move the finder from the System Folder to the Hard Drive then move it straight back to the System Folder. This should then re-bless the System Folder if it wasn't blessed before. Then see if you can restart and boot off the Hard Drive. Fingers crossed!

Tv on PB G3 pismo
Is it possible to watch TV on PB G3 Pismo? If so how? John
Re: Tv on PB G3 pismo
Is it possible to watch TV on PB G3 Pismo? If so how? John That's really two questions: * Is it possible to get TV input into a PB G3 Pismo? Yes. The USB EyeTV is a solution for standard TV. If you need HD TV then you'd need the FireWire version (although technically that requires a G4 minimum), and most reviews seem to indicate that a G5 is necessary for HD TV playback. You can also watch live TV from the USB EyeTV on a Pismo. (You could also pass TV from a source with a tuner (such as a video recorder) in via a firewire video camera or other firewire converter, but this is much more involved). Note that EyeTV TV Guide solutions aren't the greatest in Australia (although this is gradually improving...) A review of the EyeTV 500 is at http://www.eff.org/broadcastflag/eyetv500.php Note that the better the resolution you want, the more disk space it takes. The EyeTV USB takes up abour 600Mb/hour. DV camera video is 12Gb/hour. HDTV video from the EyeTV 500 is about 6Gb/hour. If you want to purchase a HD TV recording solution you should do so before the US FCC mandated 'broadcast flag' comes into force, after which TV stations can determine whether or not you're allowed to record particular programs. Both EyeTV solutions are detailed at http://www.elgato.com/ or ask WAMUG regular Daniel Kerr at [EMAIL PROTECTED] * If the TV is pre-recorded (say, by an EyeTV or downloaded from one of the various sources on the net) you may be able to play it with QuickTime Player, or the free VLC, available from http://www.videolan.org/ If you just want to watch TV on a spare monitor you have lying around, you could try the AverMedia TV box http://www.scorptec.com.au/index.php?catid=0035order=manufactureroffset=30 Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer Join Team Sungroper in the Opinions for hire [POQ] 2005 World Solar Challenge http://public.xdi.org/=Shayfnord http://sungroper.asn.au/
Re: Should I upgrade from 1ghz PB to 1.5ghz?
Monday 18th OCT, from Macintouch :- Stefan Wunner, editor of the German-language MacGadget website, emailed us about new iBooks said to be set for a debut next week: Apple is going to introduce a revised iBook G4 product line next Tuesday. Besides the usual hardware improvements (speed bumps) there will be price reductions for at least one model. The new iBooks G4 are expected to ship next week to resellers and distributors.

Hi guys, Something to think about. Back in 1988, I bought an old 2 drive SE, then in 1989, I came to Australia and Naturally I brought my SE with me. I looked at the back of the machine and there was a power tag, which told me that the SE was usable both with 110V/60Hz 240v/50Hz, and since my power cord came out of the back of my SE, and after many hours of consideration I figured out that all I needed to do was change my power cord. And every Mac since has had the same type of power supply.

pb g3 internal fan
is the internal pb G3 fan software or hardware controlled? (ie turning on and off).. I've installed YDL 3 on my pb and i never hear/feel the fan coming on... cpuinfo shows 55-57C most of the time, and upto 65C which thrashing the CPU... underside of laptop feels very hot. maybe i should replace the fan, not sure...

Hi, In message [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Thu, Jan 29, 2004 at 10:06:16AM +0800, James Mandy wrote: is the internal pb G3 fan software or hardware controlled? (ie turning on and off).. I've installed YDL 3 on my pb and i never hear/feel the fan coming on... cpuinfo shows 55-57C most of the time, You shouldn't normally need the fan in those conditions. and upto 65C which thrashing the CPU... There is a chance that the fan should be used that case. As far as I know, there may be two temperature sensors -- I don't recall the fan activity being correlated to the on-die CPU temperature. Mac OS normally controls the fan and there are possibly two different fan speeds that it can select. However, the power management unit can also control the fan (though it is likely that it kicks in higher temperatures than Mac OS). It might also shut down the computer without warning if the temperature exceeds some level (this is probably not configurable via software). So, I suspect that in the absence of Linux doing anything to the fan, the PMU will kick in of its own accord. I suspect it is technically possible for Linux to control the fan, but Apple might not have documented the method. For some non-technical, common-sense suggestions: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30612
External speakers for G3 PB

The sound from the internal speakers isn't too bad, but are external speakers available? Both the USB ports are in use. Would I need to buy a USB hub? Thanks, Michael Hawkins. Mike, Go for a product like the TDK. The system plugs into the headphone jack left of the ESC key. I got a system from Hardly Normals at $149. Brilliant sound. You have the sub woofer on the floor and the two small towers L and R of screen. Its powered from the mains. Now all you need is a darkened room, full screen visuals and a little tinkering with iTunes set up and you're set. I heard from a person (who thinks MACs are the lowest form of computer life) that iTunes is vastly superior on the MAC than the Windoze version.

Kind Regards Daniel Kerr Further to this, if you do decide to upgrade to a Bluetooth phone I'll just share this, it may be useful. After a lot of looking around for a nice new Bluetooth mobile that was Mac compayible I found pretty much my only option to be the new Ericsons. Not only are they Mac compatible but it appears as though they are recommended for use with Macs rather than PCs, the brochures featuring them that I picked up show them working nicely with an iMac in the pictures, and they're really nice phones. Of course, if anyone else can recommend other Bluetooth phones, with all the extra gimmikcs and gadgets built in (I love my gadgets) that are Mac compatible I'd really appreciate it because I'm about to upgrade my phone and want to know all my options. After asking at Optus shops, Telstra shops and a few other phone shops the only Bluetooth Mac compatible phones they could find were Ericsons. I'm not too unhappy, they are really great phones as I said, but it would be nice to play with a few more before I fork out the money for one.

PB G3 Firewire screen
After two strangely dissappearing posts here goes once more: My pismo recently dies with a broken logic board and processor card (presumely i broke theese when putting in a new hard disk). It hurts, the machine was bought late in 2000 and cost me just under AU$7000. The spare parts from Apple exceed the value of the machine, so it's not economical to repair. I have disassembled the machine and will sell the LCD screen to anyone interested for AU$260 or so. It has no dead pixels as recently established with Pixel Check.
