Re: TiBook Lifespan
Wait...Apple lied about supporting older computers from the G3-G4 and probably did it with the G4-G5 transition or lack thereof. FCP 1.5 ran on a G3 then came FCP2 and you needed a G4.

Re: Power Inverters

Re: Dead Pismo
Get a copy of DiskWarrior as fast as you can and run it...It will probably take quite a while to do so but hopefully it will work for you...I had similar problem in July of '03 when my Pismo acted that way...I was able to get it started once in a while in OS9 but X just hung there...When I got DW it took a while for it to load from the CD but it finally did. The fact that it starts from the Restore CD shows thatthere is power etc...It sounds to me like the HD got really corrupted...As I said, I thought thatI had hardware problems also and it turned out ok..The Pismo is still running merrily except for that [EMAIL PROTECTED]* LG DVD drive that died...Hope this helps!!! Regards, Mike K CHARLES RICHARDS wrote: Good morning all. I used the old paperclip method and opened the CD drive and inserted the Restore CD and hit the power key and the system booted up to OS9. The battery shows one light and so I tried to boot up from the internal HD which has OS 10.3.6 . I get the big apple no spinning wheel and it just hangs with the big apple showing. I get the usual start up sound as well. After waiting 5min or so, I give up and press the power key+apple+control to restart holding down the C key to start again from the Restore CD and it will do this. How frustrating. Any suggestions any one? The other thing to consider would be the PMU. I'm thinking about all the components that have to do with power management. The PMU and/or the Sound Card are the most likely culprits of your problem. I'm not so sure that the logic board would be at fault. That's not to say that it couldn't be but... As for the PMU, it is separate from the mb. Follow this link to see a picture of it: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Power___Charger_PMU_Battery_Board_Pismo- p-16137.html It is on slide 22 at the 'take apart' link I sent you yesterday. There is this from xlr8yourmac.com about the PMU reset: ...Most often it is due to a dead cell in the backup battery, or just a corrupted PMU. The problem is that you can't reset the PMU correctly from a dead backup battery. You can zap the PMU, which will get the backup battery charging again. Then reset it in a few hours when the battery has some charge. The steps are below. If this doesn't correct it, then they most likely have a bad (not just dead, but bad cell) battery that is corrupting the PMU on its own. The first suggested fix is an accurate set of PMU resets as follows. RESETTING THE PMU A corrupted PMU (Power Management Unit) board can cause many sleep/startup issues. The PMU is the Power Management Unity of the system. When the batteries are completely drained, draining too fast, or a battery with a bad cell exists, or if the AC adapter is unplugged from the wall, but left connected to the PowerBook, the PMU can become corrupted If the internal motherboard backup battery has become completely drained, then a 2nd PMU reset will be needed about 4 hours after the 1st PMU reset and the system has been plugged in for at least an hour (once the motherboard battery has enough power to reset the PMU properly). The first reset (due to a dead MB battery) wipes the PMU. The second reset (using the charged MB battery) rewrites the PMU with long-term firmware. Before resetting the PMU, check all connections. If possible. Put the system to sleep and insert a known good battery, then test. Reset the PMU as follows: Unplug the AC from the PowerBook. Eject the battery(s). Depress the PowerBook reset switch ONE TIME (in the back by the modem, marked by a white triangle). Wait 10 seconds. Replug the AC. Reinsert the Battery. Restart the system. After the system has had about 4 hours of plugged in time, repeat the PMU reset as outlined above. This will rewrite the correct PMU code using the trickle from the motherboard battery's charge to do the writing. If the system still does not charge/drain/startup correctly. You can try a hard motherboard reset. Follow the same instructions above, but after #2, lift the keyboard and unplug the motherboard battery (lower right above CD bay, three wire connector), wait 10 minutes then proceed. After running for an hour on AC, do a normal PMU reset. Best regards, Gary Dailey DaystarTechnology.com A. M. G. D. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

St.Steve
Q U O T E D Then did St. Steve raise on high the Holy G5 of Cupertino, saying, 'Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine Dell enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the renderings of lambs and toads and tree sloths and fruit bats and orangutans and lickable icons. ...

Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two-point-five, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the GHz, be reached, then thine will be great and powerful in my sight, however if thou shall have more than one button on thou mouse, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff thine's life.' -- Justin Evers, in his Reading from the Book of Apple, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20, attempts to explain why Apple's G5 chips haven't yet hit 3 GHz.

Re: Applecare for Powerbooks
BUY IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! I have a Pismo and had to have the Main power unit, cd/dvd drive and a bunch of other stuff replaced near the end of the 2nd year...I have all the paperwork somewhere..but I will say that it was the best $$$ spent outside of the Pismo itself...I also had AC on my iMac SE 400 and the only thing that that ever needed was a new PRam battery...so YMMV as they say...I don't know if I would spring for AC on a new desktop but would definitely do it for a laptop ...simply because of the form factor...The laptop usually gets moved around and can be dropped as well as possibly being more sensitive to bumps etc. because of the miniaturization of parts compared to the desktops.

Not sure..BUT.. are you running the Permission Repair from Disk Utility or from the original disk?

Re: OT: Internet Service Provider?
James, I was with earthlink dial-up for 18 months until Verizon DSL became available to me 10/03...Switched and haven't regretted it...Running an imac se 400 pismo 400...both 10.3.2 w/ 1 gig ram and airport along with a gateway 333 desktop W98SE w/ a lucent wireless card in it...They all run at the same time and the dsl works flawlesslyThe only problem has been that occasionally when friends in Australia, England and Germany send stuff it never shows up..I talked to Verizon about this and they denied having blockers running...but it seems that right after I complained about the problem, it disappeared. Also, I get the Register newsletter from London daily and that was blocked for a while until I called and I haven't missed any issue since early December.

When I got home and started to run it, it took about 2 to 3 hrs to run but it did fix everything eventually and I haven't used Norton since...Don't know about any later release of it...We were fortunate to have gotten the 30 gig iPod right before the mess occured and were able to back up the entire 9.2.2 stuff to it via FW target mode...Reformatted entire 60gig Maxtor hd and started over...I run DW about every 2 weeks or so, along w/ Panther utitlity repair permissions etc on the 10.3 partition.

Pismo 400,10.3.2 PLW NTR
Greetings and Happy New Year Lista's, A quick question for the cognoscenti in the groupI have a Pismo 400 and an Imac SE 400 that I have been using with 10.3.2 and a PLW LS via a Keyspan serial/usb converter. The systems have worked perfectly until the other week when the LS showed a scanner motor malfunction and diedI do have a PLW NTR that works perfectly with my Performa 5200 (8.6) and LC II (7.0?) and want to know if I can use it with the Pismo/Imac via the Keyspan converter.. I also have a Dayna Ethernet to Local Talk bridge unit that I got off the LEM list but there wasn't a manual with it and I can't figure out how it worksEvidentally Intel bought out Dayna and has ceased supporting any Dayna products. The NTR was used by my wife at her school and is in great condition and I have a couple of toner carts that I can use...The printer is rarely used because I dropped Earthlink dialup and switched to Verizon DSL in October. So how about it??? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions about the possibility of getting this combo to work? If this is deemed OT, I apologize in advance..Any replies can be sent off list if desired... Again..Best wishes for a safe, happy and prosperous new year to all the list members Regards, Mike K -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Kernel Panic
Damn it!!! I KNEW I should have kept my mouth shut!!! After asking about a panic, I experienced one for the first time ever yesterday after my son installed NetBarrier on the imac se 400 (10.3-1gig ram- 60 gig Maxtor hd). Got the screen with the restart message and was only able to get it restarted in firewire target mode from the trusty pismo 400.(10.3-1gig ram-12 gig (?) hd) It would start up and get part way through then lock up. He was able to remove NB successfully that way andall seems to be ok now. The question now is what should I do to check for any potential problems on the imac? I ran DiskWarrior 3.0 last night and it found some problems that it fixed. Is there anything else that I need to do in this case?

Re: A new start and Pismo Upgrades
Just a quick question...Am I correct in presuming that the members that have updated to either the G4/550(?) and/or the G3/900 on their Pismo's are working with machines that are no longer covered by AppleCare? I just had my Pismo returned from A/C and the following items were replaced...Board,I/O Logic (P8) Board MPU 400MHZ (P8) Board Power Supply (P8) and a new Lithium Ion Battery. The machine will be covered under the A/C until the end of summer 2004. I would like to upgrade it and am probably leaning towards the 900 path. However, does upgrading void the A/C ?

What a P.O.S. this is!!! Can anyone tell me how to mark messages that I keep as VIP..Lesser VIP,etc?? Also..any suggestions as to an Excellent tutorial book for this P.O.S. OS? I was forced into it because of a Maxtor 60 Gig HD wipeout on my iMac SE 400 and my son reformatting my Pismo 400 to 10.2.6 completely. He is gone and I am stuck with this P.O.S. I and my wife had been perf3ctly happy and comfortable with 9.2.2 and then disaster struck.. This Safari thing seems as useless as ti*s on a boar hog... The problems I am having w/ 10.2.6 are ALMOST enough to make me want to go back to my C=64 and C=128's...Not to mention the decrepit Thinkpad 560 and my son's P.O.S. Gateway!!! Also, I guess that I am completely scared of screwing something up royally with this OS..ie..fsck etc...What does that stuff mean?? I do have Disk Warrior 3.0..That enabled me to at least rescue the iMac partially...At least it boots up in 10.2.6 but asks me for a password before it will load..(My wife wants me to just throw everything out...) If I run that a least once a week will that keep me safe??? I really need some help here...I have been using Macs since I bought my Performa 5200 in 6/96 and moved from Commodore..

Re: G5
I think the idea is to have a lot of fans spinning more slowly (and quietly) rather than a few spinning quickly (and loudly). Which doesn't necessarily imply a hot processor. TimH For a quiter fan you would want to have a slower revolving prop and smaller diameter. The faster a prop spins and the larger the prop the louder it is. This is why propeller designers for airplanes try to make their props shorter and reduce their RPMs. JK -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

This only applies to Powerbooks under Applecare and through Apple...yes? (because it d*mn well does not apply to any other machines brought into any of the shops that I have ever worked at). well through Apple at least. no charge for repairs under AppleCare Protection Plan, of course. 2. This was implemented relatively recently? couple of years ago. The reason I ask is that I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Why would Apple transfer data off of a drive? Why would they offer to take that responsibility with thousands of failing machines a year? If the processor is bad they would have no reason to transfer data. If the drive was truly bad the transfer (most likely) wouldn't be very successful. What would be one situation where that would be a necessary and sucessful operation? it's an non-guaranteed option, value added service. the Apple's retail stores will offer the same service if you carry-in to them, as well. even if someone accepts the $50 data transfer fee, Apple doesn't charge if data transfer was not necessary (that is, the hard drive doesn't need replacement or reformatting, then there's no transfer and no charge). Apple also doesn't charge you the $50 if the transfer is unsuccessful. most often, data transfer is essential when there is still troubleshooting to be done before the issue is isolated to a specific part. for instance, i often will perform a clean install of the Mac OS before replacing any parts. On some machines, I will even wipe the drive and restore from the Software Restore CDs My goal here is to make sure that (a) if I replace the part, it fixes the problem and (b) I replace the right part. Also, if it's a software issue, no part is ever going to fix the problem. A large percentage of people tend to insist that every problem they have is hardware...

If you have not spent the extra $350 to purchase Applecare I HIGHLY recommend that you do so...especially since you are having problems now. It will protect you in the future.

Re: OT, courthouses, Re: dial-up connection with Powerbook G4
The reason for not allowing stuff in the court room if you are seated as a juror is so that you have to rely ONLY on admitted testimony or evidence...you may hear something that is ordered stricken ie.not allowed to be considered in deliberations, and you may have it entered in the computer etc...The attorneys want your full attention during the preliminary screening so they can try to decide whether or not to strike you as a prospective juror...that way they won't waste a challenge during voir dire examination if you are picked. regards, mike k btw...I have been called 4 times here in central PA and picked for 2 trials...knew people involved in the other 2... Also, many people won't register to vote because they think that jurors are picked from voter registration lists...Here in PA the courts use the state DMV driver license lists to gather the pool of prospective jurors. Anne Judge wrote: Is the purpose of the jury to do their own work, or to serve the country . . . I was thinking of the jury selection I face this month, not the trial. I've only gotten as far as jury selection in my experience so far, and it mostly involves sitting in a room doing nothing. All morning the lawyers confer, then after lunch prospective jurors (dozens of them) are called into a room one by one (stretching through the whole afternoon) for the voir dire, where they decide if they want you. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: printer advice Epson 740 ink
Hi, Before you buy a new printer, replace the color cart and run the cleaning routine several times...Last fall the same thing happened to me...Lost the colors but the indicator showed over 1/2 full on the cartIt was a 3rd party cart and the ink had dried up...Installed an epson cart, ran the cleaner several times because the head was crummy and now it works fineAlso change the ink cart asap after the low ink indicator shows up...If you don't, and continue to print you may get 10 or so pages (depending on amount of text etc) but the heads will dry up quickly and take a lot more to clean and recharge... HTH, Mike K Kathryn Odell wrote: I've been using an Epson 740 since before I got my Pismo. It's been great but is suddenly not working with yellow and magenta. I've cleaned the print heads about 10 times and replaced the cartridge, so I'm thinking I may need to just break down and get a new printer. If I buy one it might as well be a printer that comes with a 10 driver as well as a 9 driver. Anyone have any recommendations for a fairly inexpensive (under $200) printer that can print photos pretty well plus handle a pretty good volume of just ordinary print jobs? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Pismo power problem
Hope someone can help with this Last nite (sat 8/10) My wife was using the Pismo 400 after I plugged the ac into the wall...after about 2 1/2-3 hrs, she called me to say the screen was darkening up...The warning about being on reserve battery appeared and we quickly saved her documents. The pismo then shut off and is now totally dead...no power at allThe one thing I checked immediately was that the ac was in a working socket since the yo-yo was cold...as if it had not been on at all. Evidently it failed when I plugged it into the wall and now I have no way to charge the dead battery. Has anyone had this happen and also, do you think this is covered under Applecare?
