Neil, You started this thread with this statement.. :- Have been having some trouble over the past few weeks with connection drop outs and the occasional inability to connect to my ISP. Telstra assures me there are no issues with the line, but the problem seems to have only started after Telstra completed some line work near our place recently. You were basically OK, but now it is in trouble ! ? So what line speed were you getting before ? His main advice was to change the modem settings from v90 modem to v34 modem as he discovered we were more than 5km from the exchange, and the v34 settings are much more stable and better suited to the type of line we are on. Changing the modem settings will apparently make no difference to our line speed, as the maximum we can achieve through the ageing copper Age has nothing to do with it ! Distance is the controlling factor ! is 33 Kbps Nonsense ! Your maximum speed is controlled by the line loss ! Chances are that if Telstra did do work on your line then they could have Swapped your OK line cable pair for some new cable of a lighter gauge and as a consequence a higher loss. It was quite normal practice in the country to use higher gauge cable to produce a lower overall loss on longer circuits. It was the only way they could keep the lines within the design maximum loss parameters. I don't recollect you saying what OS you are using ! ? If it's up to OS9xxx then a Modem script adjustment may improve the drop outs without losing any speed, and I may be able to help. Bob Howells (you might have guessed we are in the bush!). We'll see what happens! Still - it is nice to know that not all the Telstra techos a) only work 9 to 5, and b) haven't all been shifted over to getting Bigpond up and running again ;-) Cheers Neil
Troubleshooting the PowerBook G4 15 (FireWire 800): White Spots on Screen
This post is currently up on MacFixIt: 'There have been a number of complaints of white spots on the displays of the new PowerBook G4 15 (FireWire 800). MacFixIt reader Alwi Yunus writes: I've had the problem occur on my PowerBook purchased the day after the release at the retail AppleStore in Newark NJ. I had the screen replaced back home in Malaysia but five days after the screen replacement, the spots are back in the exact same configuration and place. I'm convinced that the problem does not arise from the screen itself but from the bottom half of the clamshell - from heat generated by the bottom half of the powerbook damaging the display when the powerbook is closed. That is the only explanation I can think of for the problem recurring in the exact location of the original spots. I've put up pictures of my PowerBook at http://homepage.mac.com/alwi/PhotoAlbum10.html'. About a month or so ago a single white spot appeared on the screen of my now 16 month old iBook (roughly in the position of the one on the left of the screens in Alwi's pictures). Anyone else seen this on either their existing iBook or TiBook? I'm covered by AppleCare but probably won't bother using it at this stage ... I'll see if the problem gets worse. Alwi's heat explanation sounds plausible. Until recently I lived in a caravan and in summer the iBook fan was always on during the daytime when the external temperature was 38 degrees Celsius or above (God knows what the temperature was in the van but it was HOT!). So my screen was subjected to some high temperates upon closure during the course of last summer. --- Richard Kay Fremantle Western Australia

I think you'd need to be a Motorola insider to know the full reasons why development of their PowerPC technology has all but stalled, but it's no secret that one of the reasons Apple has stayed with Motorola for so long has been the lack of a Velocity Engine (aka Altivec) in the IBM product. The presence of this component is very important to Apple, and it was their willingness to help IBM incorporate it into the G5 which has allowed the G5 to come to fruition now. Don't expect the Motoroloa G4 to disappear from Apple products any time soon, though.

Mac Vs PC
Hello all Q: Which is best? A: All of them at once! To me they are still just tools/toys, I guess I'm a digital atheist. I agree with this article's points on almost everything except of course usability. I wonder, did the testers instinctivly go to 'Help'' for help or maybe their experience of 'Help' hasn't always been so positive. A quick search in Help on 'The Dock' would tell the user: 'To add an icon to the Dock, just drag it from a Finder window to the Dock. Put application icons to the left of the line in the Dock, all other icons to the right.' Also, if the user looks to the top of their Finder window they will see 'Applications' So for my money, I would not have deducted as many points on that category. Cheers Paul

The goal is for quantity rather than quality so rather than, say, an hour of HDCD quality looking at, for example, 20 hours of 192bps MP3 playback.

I've yet to come across a home DVD unit that couldn't play a DVD-R or DVD-RW that I've created on my PowerBook. Pioneer, Philips, Sony, Marantz, Luxxor(sp?) - they all played them . Given my reading of the DVD standards (the 200'ish page abridged version ) I'd be worried about a consumer unit that supported DVD + R but not DVD - R as DVD-R disks are supposed to present to the units media reader (laser unit) as identical to standard DVD disks (same wavelength same reflection pattern etc) so not been able to read DVD-R or DVD-RW a deleting established standard rather than a missing extra option and that in my books is a BAD THING...

Entourage
Hi All, Well after not receiving a single reply to my issues with Mail I decided to give Entourage a go. So far it seems a bit weird but full featured none the less. I have a couple of issues though. 1. I keep a spam directory to move emails to that have been marked as spam. I just deleted all the emails in that directory and according to the IMAP folder list I still have 263 emails in there? A similar thing is happening with my INBOX, telling me that I have 8 new emails, but none in the folder are listed as unread and I have even highlighted everything in the folder and selected 'Mark as read' and it still says I have 8 new emails there? 2. Is there a shortcut sequence for applying rules? Also is there a way to create a rule based on the currently selected email? 3. I kind of feel like I have sold out by using MS Office v.X, what is the point of having iCal, Address Book, iMail, Appleworks, etc if I go and use Office so I would really like to get my Mail working again, but until then I am stuck. Have other people who do use and like using MS Office removed Appleworks and the rest of the now redundant software on there Mac? Cheers, Adam.
Re: Entourage
I don't know exactly what you mean but I believe the only way to create rules is through the Tools menu then under Rules or by right clicking on the message. It then gives you the Criteria options and auto fills things like subject and other headings (to match the selected email) when you select them. 2. Is there a shortcut sequence for applying rules? Also is there a way to create a rule based on the currently selected email? I personally think Microsoft Office is fantastic. While I'm not a huge Windows fan I think the applications Microsoft write for the Mac are great. Entourage is my choice of email program, MS Word is the best word processing application I've used, Excel is good, PowerPoint is also good for what it is but seeing as I use Macromedia Director I don't see the need for it anymore. Its a pity they don't make Access for the Mac. Actually, my only complaint about MS Office for the Mac is the lack of help assistants we get. I want the cute little dog or cat like the PC users get! I don't have Apple Works or anything else on my Mac. 3.

Missing mail

I heard on the news that telstra were having email problems and I wondered if this might be related (I'm a bigpond customer) but although I had a few failed to retrieve messages I seem to be connecting receiving mail - just not all of it?. The other thing I noticed was mail that seemed out of sequence, eg I recieved lots of the replies replies to the replies for Peter's recent ical color problem long before I received the original message. I tried checking the archive to ascertain how much I might have missed but the Yahoo one stops where the list got migrated. Anyone else having similar problems? if so are you telstra customers?

Re: Entourage
Adam Sometimes the local IMAP folder and the server get out of synch wrt unread mail. The way I usually fix it to right click (or control click if you only have one button) on the folder and select Empty Cache. Once this has completed I click off the folder and click on it again. The folder should then re-synch with the server and get the unread messages count right again.

Virtual PC - OS9/OSX
I've just bought virtual PC v6.1 with windows XPpro (as part of the Office X pro package) I have a couple of questions for any Virtual PC v6.1 users out there: 1) Virtual PC comes on two CDs. I successfully installed on my 800MHz G4 15 iMac (running OSX 10.2.8). All this from the first disc - I was never asked for the second disc. The second disc is labelled Additional system files and by inspection contains 483.4MB of Windows files (5474 items). There are no read me or text files. Does anyone know what these files are, what they are used for, in what circumstances I would need them?? 2) When I'm on the road, I'll need to install on my 400MHz G4 Ti Powerbook and I was thinking of installing OSX on the powerbook. The documentation say that VPC 6.1 will run on OSX or OS9 but that it needs a 500 MHz or faster processor in OSX - which rules out the powerbook. Presumably I can run VPC if I boot up in OS9 - would that mean that I should be booted in OS9 when I install it. Does VPC install different versions of the software for OSX/OS9. If not and I mistakenly try to start VPC when in OSX what might happen: - it refuses to launch - it tries hangs - it launches but is not usable - it brings the mac to its knees the first three would not be a problem but the last would be a worry - is there any potential to crash/corrupt OSX. The powerbook only has a 10GB drive so I don't want to partition - presumably it would be OK to have OS9, OSX VPC on the same partition provided I restarted in OS9 before launching VPC.
