 Further to the saga of the Sawtooth I donated to the neighbors kids

 I've managed to borrow a 21 monitor that fits the existing  
 connector,
 just to check the graphics card, but now the sawtooth is kernel
 panicking after bootup. Sometimes it gets as far as the desktop  
 before
 the kp. If  it gets to the desktop, we get the spinning wheel and no
 mouseclick response.

 The boot screen and desktop are VERY large, and I suspect the kids
 have set the resolution to a quite low setting. Perhaps that's why  
 the
 17 monitor became defunct.


 No. Lower resolution would not affect a monitor.

 Would this be the reason for the kp's, and is there any way of  
 setting
 the resolution to a higher value before the kp.


 No. MOnitor settings would have nothign to do with the kp

 This sounds like hardware.

 Does it do this in safe mode?

 Mount it in FW target mode and see what the panic logs say.



G'day, and thanks Bruce. The sawtooth runs fine in safe mode, and I  
removed all the startup items and reset the resolution, but it still  
kp's when starting in normal mode. Also removed the processor and  
cleaned out a copious amount of firmly set dust under it.

I tried repairing permissions but only got a spinning wheel for 30  
minutes while reading the data base, so cancelled.

Also, the Airport card has stopped working. Is this normal in safe mode?

I think a system restore is in order on the weekend.

Perhaps my Logs that gave me a kp (when I tried to look at them with

the Startup kp (caused by the bad RAM)?

That's the kind of maintenance OnyX might help with ... just wondered
if other things might be need to be considered.

 Keep an eye on your system, but if it runs without errors, you're
 generally fine.


Will do.



Also in the QS, I had recently replaced a DVD RW Pioneer A106

external case, since it was appearing to read sometimes and not at
other times. Could that have been other evil effects of the bad RAM?
I'll test the removed one in my Yikes. Could use the RW capability ...
current one is R only.

  Hints on recovery from bad ram?

 Replace it with a great sigh of relief and a good beer, if you're so

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.  As far as viewing in the full mode,  
you can select from many different views.  I prefer to use the party  
shuffle with each album displayed on screen as played.  HTH

Adding a cpu fan to a Yikes!-style Mac ???

2008-11-27 Thread insightinmind
I recently oc'd my G4/400 to 450, and it is running fine. I want to  
add a cooling fan just the same ... perhaps try taking it to 500  
under the control/watchful eye of XLR8 MACh Speed Control 3.4.2, so I  
can moderate the L2 cache speed.

Anyone have experience adding a cpu fan to a Yikes! (or similar heat  
sink covered) cpu?

How is a best way to attach it?

Alternatively:   Maybe just figure where the cpu ends up when the  
case is closed, and mount a fan on the inside of the case would be a  
better alternative ... avoiding modifying the mobo attached cpu card  
heatsink ... and move the air across the heatsink instead of straight  
down?

Suggestions welcomed.

Individual jumpers may have been the problem; I used a mixture of individual

make the proper contacts.

Xlr8yourmac.com has a number of articles for upgrading to a G4 Zif and 
resetting the clock speed on the Yikes! and Yosemite logic boards. One article 
recommends using Radio Shack P/N 276-1512a jumpers if the the proper jumper

again.

Re: APB 4 Pal: Mac Print Fax Spins Forever Without Finding (HP) Print Driver

2008-11-27 Thread Anne Keller-Smith

Hiya ~ Not an expert but my first try might be to temporarily remove 
all the extraneous drivers from the system to give it less to look for. 
Maybe it'll find the one that's there for the HP printer?

Other thing would be to de-install all the HP software, maybe there's a 
conflict occurring there between Apple's stuff and HP's stuff.

As always you're trying to find out where the stoppage is (you've done 
this) and then try to eliminate variables until you find the problem.

Good luck!

 Hi, I've got a friend with an urgent problem because she needs to 
 print and
 can't, so hopefully we can resolve the issue this morning.  We thought 
 her
 printer was bad but it's not- there's a problem in Apple Print  Fax.

 She is using a 1.25 GHz 1.25mb RAM Q16 G4 15 PowerBook that was at OS
 10.3.9 and she paid for me to upgrade it to Leopard for her.  Leopard 
 in
 general seems to work fine for her aside from this.

 The problem occurs with her old HP multifunction printer as well as 
 her new
 HP printer.  When she goes into Print and Fax to add a printer, the 
 printers
 both show up as connected via USB, and it's a live reporting because 
 if we
 unplug the printers from the usb, they disappear from the list of 
 printers
 we can choose.

 In both cases she has installed the HP software first- from the HP 
 site for
 the G55, from the new CD for the new printer.  We also know that the 
 HP G5
 printer Gutenprint driver (for her older printer) comes pre-installed 
 with
 Leopard's other HP drivers, so it's almost as if she didn't need to 
 install
 the HP full river set except that she might need the scanner also.

 When she CHOOSES the HP printers, that's when things go weird.  
 Normally you
 have to wait a second for the Print Using dropdown to pick the HP 
 driver
 or, if no driver is found, it should give up and let you choose one- 
 right?
 Well, the little wheel never stops spinning, the system never settles 
 on the
 correct HP driver- though we know they're installed- and therefore we 
 never
 even get to choose the driver ourselves.

 I don't really care that the system FIND the right driver- is there a 
 way to
 get it to NOT look for the driver, so that we can pick it ourselves 
 from the
 list?

 I also have had concern that with the new HP universal print driver (I 
 think
 it's become that on Macs as well), the computer actually find TWP 
 printer
 drivers for each printer- the exact one and the universal one- and so 
 it
 just hangs for lack of being able to decide on the correct driver.  
 Of
 course that could all be in my head..

 Has anyone seen a problem with Print Using neither landing on a 
 printer
 nor giving up?  Is there a way around it?  NO desire to use a generic 
 LPR or
 similar workaround when the printer is fully visible to the computer 
 via
 USB.

 Thanks in advance.

Heya Everyone...

Many thanks for the replies!!!

I tried several things and ultimately it was Goo-Gone and alcohol swabs that
did the trick. THANK YOU! (Yes ³shouting² because y¹all are great!)

At the risk of going deeper off topic with this... The monitor isn¹t the
only thing I got. If anyone is handy with SGI products, I have more
questions. Please contact me off list.

Thanks a bunch!

I would not want to see this feature.  My reasons:  Right now, Flash 
(to give one example) is distributed by Apple.  The vers they 
distribute is OLD and very buggy.  This shows that Apple has little 
to no commitment to keeping us up to date.  Heck, they couldn't even 
be bothered to include an up to date version of WebKit with Safari!

There are some fine pre-packaged auto-update mechanisms available 
currently.  Sparkle, used by many apps, plug-ins, etc, is one such 
free one.  We don't need Apple interfering in what already works. 
Apple should be FIXING what they currently have, not crushing other 
developers.

The other issue here is that the 3rd party add-ons are simply not 
ready for this Safari update.  So even if Apple gave you 200+ 
tick-boxes for those items... it would do no good.

...I read an article the other day berating Apple for releasing 
Safari 3.2.1, because it was unscheduled.  Geeze.  If you don't 
release fixes in a timely fashion, the press rakes you over the 
coals.  And if you do release them as soon as you have 'em, they rake 
you over the coals anyway!  LOL

Re: Plastics Care

2008-11-27 Thread Paul

I too would recommend a Mr. Clean white pad (Magic Eraser). It's
made in Germany, and I've even found identical pads in dollar stores,
also made in Germany. Walgreens now has a store brand version.

I've used them fairly often to remove indelible marks from computer
plastic. With little effort, the plastic looks like there was never a
mark on it, and there's no indication that anything was used on it.
They're also good for getting things like grape juice stains off
kitchen countertops. They are mildly abrasive, so use them as little
as necessary.

If you already have the super-fine steel wool (and no white pads), you
might as well try that first.

Re: Further Upgrade Discussion?

2008-11-27 Thread Paul

I bet your disk drives are now the main bottleneck, so starting with
inexpensive (but effective) changes there should give you relatively
large payoffs.

If you're using the original IDE controller on the motherboard, your
throughput is pretty limited. Your current hard drives are probably
faster than the controller's ability to communicate with them. I think
the cheapest way to increase your performance noticeably would be to
get a faster IDE card. (SATA is not necessarily faster than IDE.)
You'd need to make sure that you don't need to boot from a drive
that's connected to the motherboard's controller, but my educated
guess is that this isn't a problem.

Another major factor in disk speed is how fast the platters spin.
Faster spin reduces latency/random access time. If your main hard
drive is only 5400 RPM, see if your second drive is 7200 RPM or
faster. If it is, I'd suggest putting the system and other high-use
files on it.

If you're still using the original hard drive, check the specs on it
and think about replacing it. You can always turn it into an external
drive and get more use out of it.

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

 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.

I do remember it had a great ripper on it.  Very fast too.  I think I  
burned more than a few CDs with it.  The same thing happened to  
WinAmp when AOL took over that.  Complete bloatware these days.

Re: What wireless cards can you use in a Pismo?

 Someone near me is selling a Pismo G3 Power Book, and the ad doesn't

If on 10.3 or 10.4, there are three USB 2.0 802.11b/g chip sets which  
have full manufacturer support for MacOS X: ZyDas (now part of  
Atheros), Ralink and Realtek. All are backward compatible to USB 1.1,  
which is what the Pismo is.

The AirLink101 AWLL-3026 is ZyDas-based, and has been discontinued,  
but this same chip set is also used by Macsense, ZyXel and several  
others in currently available products.

The AirLink101 AWLL-3028 is Realtek-based.

You probably won't find MacOS X drivers even mentioned in any of the  
literature, but the manufacturer's web site has the drivers. For the  
ZyDas products the current driver is 4.5.70. A separate driver  
installer is available for 10.3 and 10.4, and the 10.4 driver  
implicitly supports 10.5.

The original 802.11b Airport card, if available, would be my first  
choice. In fact, that's what I've got inside both of my Pismos.

The old Buffalo G54 802.11 b/g cards would work, but they're getting
hard to find. This Belkin card uses the same chipset and is recognized
by 10.3 and 10.4:

Did you try the add printer thing? I had something similar happen with my
hp. Try installing drivers for it if there is any.

Re: What wireless cards can you use in a Pismo?

2008-11-27 Thread jonas ulrich
DO NOT GET A USB WIRELESS CARD. THEY SUCK. ok maybe not if you have usb 2.0.
I got an airport extreme compatible card for my Lombard (the model back from
the pismo) and it is fast and if fits in the PCMCIA slot so it's out of the
way as opposed to usb. I paid $20 on ebay for it.
