Re: HD remounts
Had a similar problem with an iMac at work and it also would go to sleep at very spontaneous moments, typing, drawing, whatever it didn't matter just went to sleep, hit any key and it would come back. When the HD icon disappeared off the desktop, it would cause the drive to disappear from Disk Utilities as well, I would wait a few minutes and it would re-mount itself. So I do a reinstall of the system (basically a Snow Leopard version of archive and install). So far that seems to have taken care of both issues. And for those about to ask yes I checked and reset all the energy and screen saver settings, Dumped appropriate prefs and so on before the reinstall.

You've got a USB issue here. First your iPod Touch isn't recognized, now you're saying your HDs are drop off the screen which isn't supposed to happen ever, and both are USB related. You've got a bigger problem than a HD sleep issue because your iPod is definitely wrong behavior for certain, and it has nothing to do with software on your G5, it's a pure hardware issue. You should look in your UtilityConsole logs for error messages related to USB. It's likely you'll see error messages. If your USB ports are bad, you may need to purchase a USB PCI card.

Re: two macs plugged into the same usb hub?
I've got a printer plugged into my usb hub... I power that mac down, I get no printer on the other macs on my network? so can I plug another mac into that usb hub without problems? Hmmm. As I understand the term USB hub, it is a device that breaks a single host port into several subservient ports. The ones I have all have a cord that plugs into the host machine USB port and then devices plug into the hub ports. It seems to me that it is not designed to share the ports among several hosts as you would seem to be attempting. When you power down the host Mac, the ports become dead as the host is dead. Sounds like you need an ethernet printer sharing device if you want the printer to essentially stand alone regardless of which Mac is down at any time. I use a USB 2.0 Manual Switch Share Hub. It allows the use of two computers to share up to 4 USB devices, in my case an inkjet printer, a laser printer and a scanner. I found mine for about $15 two years ago. It has two buttons on top, one for each computer, push the appropriate button and that computer has access to the devices. One or both computers can be running. Access to USB devices simultaneously is not possible. I can print/scan with one computer then switch to the other no problems. No software/drivers needed, just plug it in (including power cord) and it works. Hope this helps.

OT: Why do scanners die with OS upgrades
It seems that I have to replace my scanner every few OS upgrades. My question is why do the upgrades make the scanner a paperweight. So either don't upgrade or buy a b\new scanner. I look more carefully at reports on people who have upgraded. but when I purchase a new computer it has a different (newer) OS running. I understand there are ways around the issue.

Re: 10.5 on a G5
Hey guys, Everyone was a big help on my last post about moving a hard drive, thank you much for everything. Wanted to get peoples opinions on running 10.5 on a G5 1.8, 7 gigs of ram 160 gig HD. Opinion on the net seems to be mixed, with some saying is great, others saying is bad, some saying it gets better as the OS is updated. Does anyone have any personal experience with this?

Hard drives seen but not mounting
A couple of questions about hard drives and synching. I have a dozen IDE hard drives of assorted sizes and makes from 4GB up to 250GB that maybe one or two are definitely bricks. When I hook them up in an external enclosure some show up in Disk utility (only the first line, the second does not show on the left hand side in the listing of drives) and they don't mount. I can't run first aid and it looks like I can reinitialize some of them but not others. Before I try the reinitialize option I would like to see what is on them first. Drive Genius and Tech Tool do not see them either, only Disk Utility does so far. The others mount and run fine. I have tried different USB and firewire ports and cables, a different enclosure as well with no improvement. Looking around the web I am reading that since I am using (a PowerMac G5 with) Leopard 10.5.8, that may be causing the problem. It has been suggested that I check them while running Tiger or even Panther. Before I install Panther or Tiger on a drive and run it in the G5 I was hoping someone had some experience with this issue and could offer some guidance.

iTunes music folder synching
I am trying to consolidate old hard drive and disc back-ups from many years and computers, the biggest issue is the iTunes Music folders. I know I can select them from within iTunes and consolidate, the problem with that is I will get a boatload of duplicates. My question, is there a way to sync these folders (without adding them to the current iTunes library) from within iTunes or would using something like Chronosync or the duplicate function in Drive Genius work on the backed up iTunes Music folders, basically creating a master back-up music folder?

Highly unlikely. It has been suggested that I check them while running Tiger or even Panther. Largely BS evidence. Where are the drives coming from? If they're coming from Windows systems they may be NTFS, and if they were unmounted in a 'dirty' state, they may not be mountable with out the force option, which (iirc) Disk Utility does not offer. You need HTFS-3G for OS X: NTFS-3G for OS X http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/ntfs3g.html This also gains you REad/Write access to NTFS volumes.

Check out ebay or Craigslist, be patient and you can find them at a decent price, around $30-$50. mr --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

Re: Flash woe(s)
I don't believe you can do it in Flash. I believe the Flash Converter software included with CS3 may be able to do it. Otherwise it is a cumbersome process.

I have been a happy G5 owner for a few years now(a 1.8, then a 1.8 Dual, now a dual core 2GHz) plus an assortment of G5's at work.

Re: G4 QS question
So she meets 2 out of 3. Unfortunately, the one she does not even come close to is the most important here, and that is the processor. The QS 733 has no L3 cache, so it runs like a 533Mhz with a cache. Which is basically 1/3 of the speed of a G5 1.6. A processor upgrade will get her close, but one that gets close will run about as much as a used G5 Mac. So, the question is: How badly does she want to run World of Warcraft at playable frame rates? Len Thanks Len, the box the software she had originally installed indicates a different picture, the system she has should work. BUT she has performed all the online upgrades, so that is probably the issue. And she wants to play it alot, so I guess she will be saving up her pennies.

Re: how can I lock G5 case ?
On the back of the computer near the top left there is a lever that pulls out (the one you use to release the side panel) flip it, push it back in and you slide a lock with a bike chain/cable, laptop style cable or just the chain attached to a rather larger attack gerbil through it and they will no longer have access to the inside of the machine.

Re: Reasonable Pricing for Selling a PowerMac G4
I listed a couple on ebay for $40.00 starting price. They are still in my barn. Be aware of shipping costs. To ship a G4 from Oklahoma to California is $70.00+/- via UPS. I would say that a G4 sawtooth isn't really worth that much anymore, perhaps locally you could get something for it. No matter what you put in it, you're still hindered by the bus speed. My experience has always been that you may as well sell off the parts when a computer gets too old. There's always a few die hards that think they can make their computer faster. Sometimes, I would have been better off just getting a new computer than keep putting more money in it. Parts are easier to ship and sell. Then you can put the computer in it's orginal state and get a few bucks for it. It's like putting too much money in a house that only has so much value. That's my 2 cents worth.

And decided I would want to sell my system, I have been trying to find listings on ebay or the swaplist but I haven't found any that matched my configuration very well.

8 gig SanDisk Micro Cruzer does not work
I just purchased an 8 gig SanDisk Micro Cruzer at Staples for $13 on Black Friday but I am having problems with it in Mac OSX.4. It's suppose to work in OSX. I did not install U3 (is there anybody that uses it?). It will copy for awhile and then it just hangs and stops copying. I don't want to use it anymore because I have to force quite the computer to stop it. I have absolutely no problems with it running WinXP. I have never had problems with any Flash drives up till now. Anyone else having problems?

iTunes and duplicating songs
_Another odd thing about iTunes is why the default is set to Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library. Every person's Mac that I have looked at has duplicate songs because of this default. Why would you want this fault anyway? If you rip a CD, sure it would go into the iTunes folder but if you place songs on another hard drive or somewhere else, why would you want it to placed it in the iTunes folder. I've never seen an mp3 player even have this feature, much less a default. I'm sure somewhere the programer had a reason for this but I can't see a good one, unless someone else can come up with a good reason for this default. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

iTunes
Are there any other alternatives than iTunes for the Mac? Perhaps i am missing something but I don't understand why there isn't a Now Playing window.

Re: iTunes
Just a message from Doug... is MusicMatch still active? It seems ever since Yahoo took it over, it went in obscurity. Version 10 is the last know version. Actually there used to be a Mac version and is still available. http://www.tucows.com/preview/204005 . You can still get all the Windows versions. Version 8 and 8.1 seemed buggy. Version 9 wasn't too bad but version 7.5 was the best and still works and flawlessly burns CD's. I believe it used Roxio's burning program. I like the way it groups complete CD's and how you can expand and collapse them. It makes the library very neat and tidy. I still use it. http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=mmatch Not exactly sure what you are talking about Ray, iTunes has about any kind of display you might want. If you are talking about a small window which displays the current song, just press the green button and the display changes to that the green button is not exactly what I was look for. Most mp3 players on a PC have a Now Playing window. iTunes might have something like that but I can't seem to find it. It's not obvious. As you play each song it automatically goes to this Now Playing window. Once you are finished you can burn from that auto generated playlist, although if you want to save it, you have to drag it over and save it as a playist. MediaMonkey has been my favorite mp3 for awhile now. My favorite still to this day is MusicMatch 7.5. This was MusicMatch peak, it went downhill from there, in my opinion. MusicMatch 7.5 lacked some important features like CD-text I think I understand what you are talking about now, but no, I don't know if iTunes can do that unless there is an Applescript available to do it. Might be a utility program like that somewhere, but I haven't looked for anything like that. I know I use RadioLover to do something similar, it will save streamed songs to a directory and sometimes I burn those to a CD for listening to in the car. Of course, come to think of it that list is also available in iTunes. I have burned those CD's from there as well. May give MediaMonkey a try next time I'm over on the Windows side of things.
