Re: Blinking

2017-10-07 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
Someone here ( probably Bruce ) will know instantly what this means. But
until they get here you could try what I a lesser mechanic would do.

I would shut down and look at all connections. I would look inside to  see
if any sings of electrical odors or visible signs of burning was present On
any boards. I would pop the RAM and reseat it. I would pop any boards
present and reseat them. I would reset any non volatile RAM.

If the problem reappeared after a reboot I would disconnect everything and
take the machine outside for a bath.
 Placing it on a stack of newspaper I would pull all the cards and RAM.
Using contact cleaner or 90% rubbing alcohol I would douse it all and scrub
it with an old toothbrush. Paying special attention to contacts on card
edges and inside of slots. Looking for corrosion ( green gunk), or very
dull looking metal.
I would use a very soft paint brush  and more liquid to wash and scrub  all
sides of every board looking for soot, burn marks, broken contacts, bad
solder joints.

Rinse everything and look at how much grime  or airborne tobacco smoke
show up in the rinse on the paper. I have revived several Old Macs by just
doing this alone.

Blot it with clean paper towels to speed up air drying.

You might find that reseating things, or cleaning a dirty contact solved  a
problem.

Also on your model give the PMU button a tap.
You can find a diagram or photo online.

Some software issue may be involved somehow, but my gut tells me it is a
hardware thing. Connections are always the first thing to look at.

Compare the libraries for the display settings.
Open two windows or use a file manager utility like FileDaemon to look at

Re: Cursor and PRAM Issues

2017-03-21 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
If this machine does have a CUDA it is separate issue having to do with
hardware config.
Very often forgotten on the pre G3 machines.

If anything was changed hardware wise such a machine with a CUDA would not
see the current config but be set for an old one.

HD changes, memory, bus cards etc.

Re: Should I upgrade my 533 MHz Power Mac G4 to Leopard?

2016-11-16 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
Do you ever use benchmarking?
Do you keep records of it?

go ahead, Benchmark your prestn OS. And also give it a task on a file to
accomplish like sending a 5 GB movie file to an external drive and write
down the time.

The install your dream OS and perform the exact same tests.  Compare. Then
you will know for yourself and no one can second guess you or lead you
astray. You can always shift back.

Off hand bloatware is bloatware.Asking you system to handle Bloat is just
asking for trouble.

A balanced system is always the most usable.Rarely is much if anything
gained by adding CPU load or leaning into more RAM overhead.

Re: Adobe CS2 licence broken

2016-09-09 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
I gave up trying to leverage freebies when I decided to at least try to be
serious about what I was doing.

I could not afford the Adobe programs I wanted. Suffered years of
disappointment. Thought I would have to save to buy just one. Actually did
get Dreamweaver CS2. Got some Adobe access through the University, taking
classes ( you could register as a Senior guest perhaps?)
Wound up using GIMP, work got done but not in a happy way. And open source
video proggies never worked for me.

I accept Adobe Cloud as the blessing it is. Cheap enough  because it keeps
me from doing stupid things with the money.

I recommend it.
Having programs that ACTUALLY WORK , can do the many things better since
CS2, with support is VERY satisfying.

YOUR WORK WILL GREATLY IMPROVE

YOU WILL HAVE A LOT LESS TO WORRY ABOUT

Re: Removing obsolete apps

I do no longer have newer Macs at home.  I used University machines for FCP
into the Intel era. I also have MasOS 10.1 at home. I do not recall ever
calling them apps.

I am old school. To me small programs are "utilities" or "tools".

Re: My quicksilver...not so quick odyssey.

Go Backwards  on the OS versions. Find one that is much less bloat.

A balanced system is better than one with bells and whistles that clog it
and make it troublesome.

Re: (1st post) Can a G4 be upgraded to handle current DAWs?

2016-01-01 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
Give an idea of your budget. And how much work are you willing to do to
keep up an old OS and keep it free of bloat?

How much do you know about work flow? Chopping big projects into smaller
parts?
Also what do you know about audio, and the various bit strategies etc?

Some folks can produce on an iPad. or a phone.

what equipment do you already own that you want to keep. If there were
newer alternatives would you go to them if they were cost effective or is
there emotional baggage that might go with keeping old stuff if
connectivity is a problem ?


If money is a problem but you have lots of time and patience a G4 would be
better than nothing. Just know that if you need specialty items to get the
audio into the machine , even used vintage stuff can add up fast..

Mac OS is fine. But again what software do you intend to use? What are it's
limits ?

Finding the right Android tablet for cheap with a 4 core nVidia  and some
cheap apps could be more satisfying. Your mileage may vary.

If you Dream of Ableton, Logic, Pro tools or Audition  newer than about 5
years old a Used PC would be easier.

Consider your wallet, time and what you want to accomplish

Who is your audience?


Those are things only you can decide.

Re: Swap out video cards: G4 867 dual into G4 1.25 dual?

2015-10-26 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
Pulling the battery will dump the PRAM memory. If there is a CUDA switch on
the mobo yes, get a small stick, reach in and hold it down at least 60
seconds.

CUDA looks like a tiny silver square with a black or red tiny button in the
middle.

Somewhere online there will be a photo or digaram of your mobo.

Does that machine have a PRAM and CUDA button? If so dump both no matter
what you do. It could just be old settings and config causing problems.

Re: SATA PCI Card for G4 Sawtooth?

2015-10-02 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
Reach in with a long reach bit and drill the head off the screw.

You have a google account so you already have Google Drive.
And you can delete it from the Google Drive later.

opinion. And in a rather small SIG and a restrained one compared to those
seen here 10 years ago.

Actually by the traditions of LEM it is your extra post that is "off topic "

Re: OPTIMIZE Crashed my Quicksilver Also

Optomize = kill off these old boxes so these cheap a**ess will buy some new

The phone and mobile application marketers are now seeking other venues to

I swear there is an Android app that kills power supply battery chargers on

I don't believe what any of them are saying.

Re: Hard Drive problem with G3, 266 mhz tower

2014-04-14 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
Starting with the extremely simple basics  you ahve already;

1. Cleaned all port and cable end connections with an old toothbrush and
contact cleaner or  isopropyl alcohol. Scrubbing them thoroughly.

2. After plugging them in and trying to boot up, wiggled the cables along
their length to see it you could hear any tentative sounds from the hard
drive.

3. Inspected  cables for damage of any kind.

4. Made a continuity check on any suspect cables.

5. dumped the PRAM.

6. Reset the CUDA switch on the motherboard  ( I cannot recall if that is
PCI  only.)

7. Made sure the motherboard battery is in good shape.

They all have 'issues'. But Android is getting better. I just do not care
for the commercialization being pushy on anything. But it is the price of
fewer jobs and the rise of home schooled developers. Corporations get rich
while home based  'code farmers' sweat in the noon day sun.

Sad, Androids I have seen all have  miniSD slots. How about iPads? Any

How the heck do you expand storage?


I guess that leaves the USB device option to transfer files .Or  upload to
cloud storage like Google Drive  for the transfer.

It is impolite to make assumptions here about the motives of others. An LEM

I still think the miniSD transfer is viable.

? ? ? ? ? ?

Went on LEM G list just now.

Ads are optional I see the same messages I see right now in my Google mail
page.
In fact if I open my mail and the list page in separate tabs I can read
them like in a mirror.
I don't understand what is being said here.

So there are more lists and Dan is getting money from ad placement to run
the lists GOOD  I hope he gets the support he needs to keep LEM going. I
recall when the list came together  for a fund drive to keep it going.

LEM has never been a democracy so rules have pretty much worked to keep the
lists on point. So substantial help has flowed here . Good job Dan Knight
and LEM !

Re: US Java alert?

2013-01-29 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
The DoD is telling people to turn off the Java plug in. While governments
websites have forms that depend on it to be active.CNet says Oracle may not
have a total fix for years.
Turn off the Java Plug in and experiment. You tell me if it is a Java
script or Java or any other distinction you want to make.
I turned off the Java Plug in weeks ago and found online transactions I
could not do. And this is after installation of a Java script  blocker
months before that which allowed the same forms to be active.

Sooner or later you will run into an online form that is important to you

If you have no toher cables to try get  rubbing alcohol or contact cleaner,
an old tooth brush with power disconnected  scrub  the cable ends and all
ports,  briskly and completely.  Look for loose or broken pins. Bad cable
insulation etc.

The starting point for  repair should always be the obvious elements. And
this gets them out of the way if it is something more complex causing the
failure. I have  had many great monitors that people thought were  totally

For me CS6 apps are harder to pick up. Have let up on studies at CS3 5
years ago. and gennerally being away from Adobe.

Lynda.com will teach you anything about Adobe and 1000 ( more than 1000
actually) PC and Mac apps for $25 bucks a month and is worth fifty times
that much just for the Adobe.

Creative Cow forums and countless web tutorials that are free would  help
if you could not afford Lynda.

Apple slags itself  every time it makes decisions  that effect users of
expensive and powerful machines that are not really that old.

Say what you will I believe some others here agree. It does not take that
much to play flash files. Why does it have to be such a struggle?

Why bring Adobe into it ? What next, question ever other web accepted file
protocol Apple does not wish to support for old machines. That will be a
growing list daily don't you think ? A strange attitude for  anyone who
supported Motorola machines for so far back. Keeping old Macs as viable as
possible is what this list is all about.

Since when is telling it like it is verboten here ? Apple supports Windows
users and caters to their needs better than their own customers of long
standing. Some will agree. Other not agree. Simple.

Emulate Windows !

Apple in it's wisdom alienates its most loyal core of users and caters to
the antithesis of Apple fandom. All in one fell swoop.

Brilliant marketing ploy !

If you ain't got the dough Apple does not want you using their machines.
Even the ones you bought and paid for.
the best is only for those who can ante up.

Re: Selling software?

2012-08-19 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
10 years ago I bought a lot of software and associated hardware on LEM Swap
list.  I always made sure I got the original codes. I believe non had been
registered before, which was common in those days before all software
demanded a call home..

Sometimes I would buy an unregistered seat license. Also common  then.
It was policy then that SW that had been registered could be abandoned by
the registrant by a letter or email to the publisher. And transferred to
another user.\

Re: Music stream capture app?

2012-08-09 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
Nice analogy. However  you do not need to know much to use Audacity. I was
introduced to it in University where they try to get software for basic
student use that  is common to a class yet does not bear even more
financial burden. Many students struggle to buy books  and other gear.

Audacity was used in all of our  NLE and webmedia courses  as a tool for
audio capture mostly but some introductory process work as well. It has
just gotten better over the years. In it's way Audacity is far better than
the image processor GIMP which suffers a much worse interface, and much
more inaccurate and misleading instructions and tutorials.

Powerful, yes. Usable? Absolutely.

And a CNC machine that easy to get started on would invite further
experimentation for sure. It might even be a source for a world of fun.

Eight years ago this conversation might have been thought impossible. Many
Macheads would have been flabbergasted at the thought of an Intel Mac or an
OS that would leave them so far behind.

5 years ago there was outrage over the hackintosh movement and letting Mac

That can " run it " having the CPU codes for the G3. I wasn't even thinking
along those lines. It has been so long since I had to worry about an OS not

I can't conceive of running a G3 on any Mac OS before 8.6 (USB support)
And actually OS 9.0/9.1 can be tuned to really fly.

So why go even further back?

I say this because I had a lot of stability issues with the 7s.

Re: iMate battery life?

I think some of my older digital cameras and camcorders use the CR1225.

A lot of toys use them too I am sure..

Re: Free memory vs Disc burning

What if it is something between the mobo and burner? A bad cable for

Could you borrow another burner and try ? Or another cable?

Re: Free memory vs Disc burning

Have you tried slower write speeds?

Other brand disks?

Is the optical lens clean and free of hairballs? I have had that problem
with old drives.

Also old dry grease on the gear track can gum the write process.

Have you tried a logging utility to get a better error record?

If this was OS 9 I would allocate more RAM to the program. Might you
consider running classic and using an appropriate application after setting
more RAM in the "Get Info" panel?

Do smaller files burn OK with the same set up ?

All cables and ports clean?

Fair enough. I was not aware 10.4 was similar enough in settings and prefs
files In Leaopard to be that easily transferable. Or that the list of apps
with such would also share such.

Why not just use a file manager utility to move your wanted files?
The simple old fashioned way to batch process ?

People do not have to be locked into the new-fangled software method
mindset do they ? Come on.

Sure, if you want to totally ignore everything I said.

This may be a fine file " gallery" if all you want is to look and access.

I thought you are a media professional inundated by the need to simplify

Re: So much data, so little organisation...

2011-11-29 Thread W.Adrian D'Alessio
What you need is a good old fashioned program known in olden days called a
file manager. On my old Macs i swear by FileDeamon.

A two pane view of any two volumes on the system in a list view cuts
through the modern method confusion and gives a clear understanding of the
files and volumes you want to deal with.. And leaves everything else out of
the way.

Forget trees and window drag and drop. to move or delete or compare
volumes, and see, hear or read files , renaming archiving etc, whether one
or a thousand use a file manager. In the Amiga days these were common. and
for power users they are still popular.

Masses of files and multiple volumes? I would not think about tackling them
any other way.

And to reiterate facts i made clear on the PCI Macs list long ago;

No, finder is not a good file manager for bulk file handling.

No, file managers that insist on tree views are not good file managers they
interfere with work flow.

Two pane managers are best. they cut  through the BS.
