Dead Seagate
Have a **Seagate 9SL154-302 ST31000528AS Barracuda 7200.12 - 1 TB SATA II in a Newer Tech Mini Stack v 2.5 I/O 1394A+USB2.0+HUB Not that it matters, but running 10.4.11 as a Mini external boot drive to run PPC apps. One morning... NOTHING. Suddenly, drive is not recognized at all. I lost some files as I'm not too diligent about backup but not a disaster. This is my first HD failure. I sort of presumed one might see some sort of weirdness or gradual malfunction. Should I disassemble the Mini Stack and check for connections? I did reverse and then swap fireware cable but did not change power brick as it fires up, makes usual startup wine, light comes on, i.e. makes familiar noises.

Early MacBook comparisons
As per my interest in upgrading to the Intel world while retaining PPC capability, I've decided to look for a MacBook for improved video card (over Mini) and portability. So, I've been looking at 13 A1181(early) 15 A1175 17 A1151 When I eBay search on these, a substantially different number of hits come up for each model. More for 13, less for 17. Mostly batteries and parts, of course. One might presume that this difference points to number of units originally sold, but just to check: I'm wondering if those who work with these things daily, might comment comparatively on the relative durability, or any know service issues for these earlier MacBooks.

Stop gap hardware recommendations ?
I've been monitoring discussions on Apple's OS progression and the changes in hardware requirements. Since I'm running a Mini G4, I feel I'm rapidly receding into antiquity. The main issues are CPU speed and the ever increasing number of cool 10.5+ only apps. I've lived with the speed thing because my WiFi ISP speed has been limited. However, now they've increased their bandwidth, so I can get up to more commonly reasonable internet speeds. Here's my OS/software criteria: **Accept that Classic is no longer an option (run separate machine if necessary) **Want to retain PPC apps for now, so need Rosetta and apparently can only max at 10.5 OS **Cannot afford to change/upgrade my HDs to GUID. **Would like best video card/system possible ** Assume a Mini is most affordable option So, I'm hoping for some advise or direction on which generation of Mini would/could maximize my options. I understand that this might be a Mini forum topic, and happy to migrate if necessary.

The third power drop feeds the well pump, water clarifying equipment, and water pressure pump that serve the entire property. i figure in a pinch I can power cord connect some refrigeration located at this location as well. This connection has a manual transfer switch that allows manual hook up to our 7K Honda powered Dayton portable. I'm consistently amazed by and appreciative for this List. It's an invaluable resource of generous expert advise and friendly helpful opinion. This thread has been especially interesting: besides providing some assurance regarding the generator hook up, it also prompted me to turn off my external drives until they are needed. thank you, Cliff -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

back up generator question
We live in a rural area where power outages occur commonly. I just purchased a 800 Rated Watts/900 Max Watts Portable Chicago Electric Generators http://www.harborfreight.com/800-rated-watts-900-max-watts-portable-generator-66619.html in hopes of having back up power to run our WiFi ISP antenna, computers and a light or two.

I'm running 10.4.11 on G4 Mini Every time Firefox updates it tells me I must update Flash Player NOW. So I download and install Flash Player 10.1 but where does it go?

I have VGA cable with DVI-to-VGA at the Mini. But, I think I've stumbled on a fix. First, POI: I'm booting from an external drive Firewired to the Mini. Lately, after reconfiguring the daisy connections of my Mini and 4 external drive, when I Shutdown and then restart, the Mini drive boots (not sure why). OK, so, I shut down to check the DVI ports to make sure I need a male to male DVI cable. I disconnect the VGA/DVI adapter at the Mini and replug. Reboot and the Mini drive boots, AND there's FULL SCREEN. In fact I have to reduce the horizontal size to fit. A check of the MenuBar Display menu and the selected resolution is 1400x1050 There were three options showing 1400x1050 , 1600x1200 and 1920x1080. The image is kind of stretched and the fonts a bit too large. So, I select 1920x1080. Voila. full screen (no front or back doors). some adjustment required. Then I go to System Preferences/Displays and select 1920x1980 and we're back to doors I repeat the above, get full screen and reboot to my external drive. Now I have three options in the MenuBar Display menu: 1600x1200, 1920x1080 and another 1920x1080. One 1920x1080. options gives be partial screen, the other full screen. Go figure. I wonder Kris, if this has to do with the VGA selection. Anyway, the font issue isn't resolved, but I can live with it and I have full screen.

Mini G4 10.4.11 ViewSonic monitor resolution
I'm running 10.4.11 on a mini G4 Bought ViewSonic VA2323WM 23 monitor. Plug Play. Looks great, except the VA2323 calls for 1920x1080 60 hz display and will only accept 800x600 and 1024x78 as alternatives. Everything else is out of range. So two things about the 1920x1080 setting. 1. The window does not fill the screen. Even when Horizontal size is maxed, there's a 5/8 border on on the left and 3/8 on the right. 2. While I can adjust font size in most app windows, the OSX menu bar is much smaller than I like, as are all the bookmark bars etc in other apps. In my limited past experience, modifying the resolution generally gave one an acceptable balance. So far no response from VS tech Wondering if there's a driver that allows for more options or did I purchase and incompatible unit? Thanks in advance for responses.

Regrettably, I didn't look at the SD settings (this drive to that drive), but, did note that it was taking a long time to smart update.

But, almost certainly didn't do anything else. Also, to correctly use Data Rescue you'd need access to another clean HD. I understand this and figure(d) I'll need another TB drive to recover.

Kris, my report was base on running only the DR Quick Scan Your comments reminded me that I had other DR options, and I tried the DR Deleted Files Scan. It promised a 13+ hour run, so I'm postponing until I get back home. Then, there's also the Thorough Scan option. So, thanks for the imput and encouragement. I'm hopeful again. And, yes, it's a lesson learned. Cliff -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Data rescue take data from them and write another disc, no change on old drive... That's the best way. I'm running 10.4.11 on a Mini G4. Hmm. Since I inadvertently cloned from a smaller drive (d1) to a larger drive, thus erasing most of what was on the larger drive (d2) I'm suddenly thinking that any recovery will require a third drive (d3) of equal size to the d2. Is that right? or will Disk Recovery buffer recovered files (from d2) and progressively write back to d2?

Tracing hot keys
Mini G4 10.4.11 I use a screen capture software that I access with the hot keys command-shift-4 which gives me a little circle with cross hairs and and drag a section and it snaps a jpg to the desktop. I seem to recall that I loaded this app because it permits selection of the image format whereas Grab limits one to tiff files. Anyway, for the life of me I cannot remember or locate this app (even though it works). Is there a way to trace the hot keys to the app. ? thanks Cliff -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

File Recovery
Color me stupid. I have two 100 GB drives: one's my basic boot drive (D1) and I SuperDuper copy to the other (D2) as backup. When I travel to where my wife is taking care of her parents, I back up to the second drive, take it with me and boot from it thru her iBook. I also have a tera byte drive (D3) that I use for storing av stuff, like video projects, ripped DVDs etc. Last I looked it had about 250 GB unused space on it. Here's the rub. I backed up and packed up D2 D3 and drove to Santa Barbara. There I discovered that I must have inadvertently backed up D1 to D3 as all the AV files are gone. Swell. OK. what to do? Local Mac shop whats $300+ to recover. Looks like file recovery software runs about $100. Any recommendations for what works. And, of course, I might just let it go. Advise and comments appreciated.

First effort was a false start when using a monoral VHS player (the sound was out of sink in the capture). Switching to a better VHS player did the trick and I've successfully capture/converted a VHS film. But, format that I can use to burn a DVD? As far as I know, iGrabber generates only .mov files. So, you'd have to use iMovie to convert to .dv and iDVD to burn. There may be other conversion software. I've used MPEG Streamclip. I also use a screen capture app Snaptz Pro X and, of course, there are others. SPX captures the screen or portion thereof and creates a .mov file. So you could capture the screen from DVD Player. Both these options do it all in real time and create very large files. hth Cliff -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Mail add on apps?
Having made the Mail plunge from Eudora I'm looking for an add-on that will apply Rules after mail is received. Mail Act-On http://www.indev.ca/MailActOn.html looks like it might fit the bill.

I figured it out. One can have only so many icons in the Menu Bar. You can reorder them by Command-drag. Delete by Command-dragging off the bar. I deleted one and the Apple Script Icon popped in.
