G3 Powerbook screen died- using TV???
Can I use a TV to view my G3 Powerbook desktop? The monitor screen has just about died (stupid apple) and now I want to be able to use the computer through my TV. Some times, at a certain angle, I can see the screen; I have the adaptor cable for video in/out, but how can I set the monitor control panel up for the external tv screen? The monitor control panel doesnt have any options of this kind, and there is limitted help in the apple help tuits. Or am I supposed to tune the TV INTO the powerbook (ie the other way round)?? OS 9.2.2, G3 Lombard Powerbook, 230RAM Please help ~ Robert Griffin Morgan www.amitar.com.au/~morgan/tonepoet/ 8123364136 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: G3 Powerbook screen died- using TV???
Thanks for your reply. The screen is 90% of the time covered with stripey colours. Sometimes, at a certain angle, I get the desktop, but most of the time just a colour spectrum. Your link doesnt seem to be working. do you still think it would be a cheap thing to fix? ~ Robert Griffin Morgan www.amitar.com.au/~morgan/tonepoet/ 8123364136 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jarred Flatman [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/25/03 17:06 PM It sounds like that if you can see the screen at angles or out in the sun or under light that your backlight has gone out it is a fairly cheap part to replace as you can see http://www.powerbooktech.com/component,name-LCD-Backlight-for- Powerbook-Pismo-(LG),type-Pismo.htm that one is for the lg display pismo and is in US prices of course.

firmware update problem
Thanks to everyone who helped with my problem concerning networking. Yes, I have OS 9.2.2, the only prob I couldnt solve was dragging the shared folder onto the Shared Items box and setting it with guest access privelidges. Another question, if I may; I cannot for the life of me find the firmware update for a Powerbook G3 (lombard) on the apple site so I can install OS X. Does anyone have this file that might be able to send it to me? Or tell me a direct link where it lies Thanks again to all. Robert.
Firmware update for G3 Powerbooks
Rod, thanks for your reply. Yes there is firmware updates on the install CD but only to support G4 powerbooks. There isnt any support for G3 powerbooks.

If you are using 10.2 install disks, have a look in the Utilities folder. There is a Powerbook firmware updater hiding in there!

guest networking
Can someone tell me how I can get networking over two macs via an Ethernet cable to receive guest connections? Sorry if this is a newbie question- I just can't seem to find anything in any relevant control panel that will allow the guest option to appear after choosing the other computer in AppleShare/Chooser. Thanks all for your time. Robert.

itunes
Dear Brett , I noticed you posted a query about exposing your mp3s to itunes for OS 9 and X (itunes 3). Did you have any luck with responses? There wasnt any replies in the WAMUG archives. Like you, I want to have access to all my compilations in both operating systems. Thanks for your time and I look forward to your reply.

Re: Recording LP's
Toast isnt worth using due to all the hiss... Get ProTools from www.digidesign.com It comes in a free version and will do the trick.

Re: LaCie 40*CD-RW
I have a Lacie external drive and have had no problems. Its quieter and quicker in mounting CD roms than the apple ROM Drive in my imac 333. Actually, it mounts cds that the apple drive won't (yes, I havent worked that one out yet either!). Burns cds fine too.

I have been quoted $500 for the Lacie model and would urgently appreciate comments as to whether the Lacie is the machine to buy or whether there is a better alternative. I basically need the drive to back up files and to transfer files between the G3 and PC computers at work. Naturally DVD compatibility would be an advantage!

Should I buy OSX?
I am a Macite in the field of computer music generation using MIDI etc and am thinking about getting OSX. Firstly, would it be beneficial in my situation? I have heard it is only advantageous for unix related use. Most of the apps I use are not compatable with OSX so therefore would have to use Classic which aparently chews up much memory. I also use Photoshop. What advantages would there be for me to make the upgrade (I have OS 9.2.2 atm)? I have am imac 333 with 256 RAM with 9 GB. Will I have any problems with my configuation if I did upgrade? Thanks in advance to anyones help.
