The SPOD indicates that the browser was waiting for some resource to 
be made available.

Could be slow running scripts.  Could be a full HD; lack of cache 
space.  Could be a lack of memory (the app had to page excessively). 
Could be ... any number of things.

The Daily Kitten (disgustingly cute factor aside) has a lot of script 
for such a simple page.  It's now 1am and it loaded quite slowly here.



>Also, do I want to use Dashboard?

How much spare memory and CPU you gots?  Dashboard is a PIG, sucking 
up about 40 MB RAM and a few % cpu even when inactive.  Dashboard 
Widgets, aka Javascript applets, rarely do much that you can't 
already do with a real app.  Me and mine - we have Dashboard disabled.

FWIW,

G4 Question

[Stephen Conrad]

Periodically when using my G4 Quicksilver with either Firefox or
Safari and I have a few tabs open I get the spinning beach ball. The
sites are email or ones like The Daily Kitten.
What might cause this?
Also, do I want to use Dashboard?

Please, can you, another list nanny, the list mom, or all of you

a solution to this issue? It's been happening for several weeks now. I  
wonder if it's because of the hyphens in the list name? It seems  
likely the parser could be confused about all the extra hyphens?

I tried to use CCC to copy my Start-up HD to another HD and almost all
the files it did copy are in folders I now cannot access.
it never finished the copy and I finally gave up.

I would start running Disk Verify in Disk Utilities.  I'd do it on  
both drives but the source is the most important.  If that doesn't  
give you a clean bill of health then you need to fix that first.

I have used CCC over 1,000 times and only had occasional trouble with  
it (I can't recall off hand what problems I had).

Re: Sonnet Encore upgrade for desktop beige G3

[Ralph Green]

Howdy,
  It has been several years, but I did the same upgrade to a Beige G3.
I had trouble installing OSX with the G4 in place.  The OS was version
10.2, I believe.  I put the G3 back in place for the install, then
installed the G4 enabler from Sonnet, and put the G4 back in the system.
It ran well for another year or so before I traded the system to someone
who needed a fast desktop that could run OS9 for some software he
already had.  So, I would recommend putting the G3 back in place for the
OSX install, if this is possible.
Good luck,
Ralph

I had trouble with CCC. I had a corrupted file that would either hang  
CCC or crash the system. Once I tried a a few times, i noticed that  
the hang was on the same file. I trashed that one file and everything  
went fine.

So see if you can see where it is hanging or crashing. That might be  
the problem.

Cloning Hangs G4 Quicksilver 867

[yersinia]

Hiya Listers,

With all the wonderful praise all over this list and the Net in general 
I've seen for both Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper, I'm totally and 
completely shocked to say I'm having this problem -- I can't clone with 
either one of these programs, and worse, they crash the Finder.

The Mac is a G4 Quicksilver 867 running Tiger (10.4.9) with two internal 
hard drives I want to clone to two partitions of a new OWC Mercury Elite 
Pro 500 GB external USB/Firewire drive. Both CCC and SuperDuper hang up 
in the cloning process -- the cloning process itself stops prematurely 
(well, CCC got through one drive once but said there were errors so I 
don't trust it) and then the Mac itself too (I have to reboot the Mac to 
get rid of the beachballs because "relaunching" the Finder kills it).

I was having a problem getting the external HD to show up on my iBook -- 
I took that to the G-Books list and while it's OK now, I don't really 
know why, and Kris Tilford suggested over there a possible firmware 
issue (my OWC drive having the 934 chipset) with THAT. Well, could I be 
having a firmware problem interfering with the ability to clone?

Or am I just about the only Mac user in existence who can't use CCC or 
SuperDuper?

Thanks,

~Yersinia.

The Zif upgrade works just fine, but you need to reset the mobo  
jumpers. OWC has a handy chart:



This applies to any ZIF upgrade.

Hmmm..with a ZIF upgrade, I'm not sure. I do know that daughter-card  
based processor upgrades, such as those in earlier and later Macs  
needed software, but with the ZIF you're just replacing the CPU  
itself, not all the rest of the architecture, so it should Just Work,  
once the jumper block is properly set.

The 733, first 867 and dual 800 do not have large drive support. The  
800, 933, dual 1GHz and the second 867 (marketed to education) do have  
large drive support,

omnipage pro is a dead product; it's not been updated since 10.1.

Readiris is hideously expensive.

Abbyy Fine Reader is $100  It at least  
runs on modern macs :-)

Sonnet Encore upgrade for desktop beige G3

[Gorka Martinez Mezo]

A couple months ago I bought in eBay an used 500MHz Sonnet Encore ZIF card to 
upgrade a Beige desktop G3. The seller send me a pdf file with the installation 
instructions but nothing else.

Due to work/burned computer/personal issues I wasn`t able to have a close look 
to the upgrade intil now. I have read the instruction manual and I have some 
doubts.

* First of all, has someone tried this upgrade before? Any tips?
* As I can see, I need to install de software included in the Sonnet CD to 
install de G4 card, is that correct? The computer is currently running Mac OS 
9.1 (Spanish), has 416Mb of RAM, a FireWire/USB PCI card and two HDs. It havent 
been used for some years, but runs smoothly so far. VRM is correct.

QuickSilvers are maybe on the large drive support.  Those known as QS 
2002 (introduced in 2002) do support large drives.  Previous models do 
not and will only access (and format) the first 128Gb without any

What OCR for Leopard?

[Al Poulin]

Dual posting here, no answer after two days on two other LEM lists.

What OCR software packages are there which run well on OS X 10.5
Leopard?  Any favorites?

I've seen references to Omnipage Pro X for Macintosh and Readiris
as independent packages, and even OCR capability in Vuescan and Adobe
Acrobat.

My old Omnipage 8 SE will not install in Leopard on a G4 iBook nor
Intel iMac.

Re: Screen of death

[Richard Gerome]

Hey Tim,
 I had an experience a few yrs back on my 466 Clamshell but my screen 
burned... When I installed a new screen it ran fine for a couple months then 
one day it went into a shake and burned up again... It left a ghost image of 
the last webpage I was on both times this happened... So then I replaced the 
screen again and did a clean and reinstall and haven't had any problems 
since!!! So maybe you should do a clean and reinstall, it might just be you got 
a bug in your system??? If you do a clean and reinstall and load that USB 
wireless adapter and it does it again it just might be the USB devise that has 
a bug in it??? If you have an iPod you can download all your programs into it 
and save them when you do the clean and reinstall them when it's up and 
running...   Rich

This is VERY strange. You're saying you get a panic screen, and if you  
leave it alone, it continues to boot normally? I've never heard of  
this before. I'd guess perhaps you're missing something - perhaps it's  
rebooting a 2nd time automatically?

You could try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup, and  
then reboot normally again and see if that helps?

Screen of death

[Tim Gochnour]

My son got a new USB wireless adapter for his MDD running 10.4.x.  He  
stuck it in and restarted the computer before putting in any drivers  
for it.  The computer went into startup mode then immediately shut  
down.  Now every time it starts up, it goes into the grey screen of  
death (the one that says the computer must be restarted by holding  
down the power button.)  If you leave it alone, it goes away and  
starts up.  How to get this screen to quit appearing???

I think you will "see" only 128GB on your new harddrive (you can still use it).

Hi Joan,

I used this site for information on my own PowerMac G4:

http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/machine.php?name=powermac-g4-quicksilver

If you're running OS X 10.4 on it, try using SuperDuper! to clone the
current drive onto the new one,
then make the switch. You can put the new drive into an enclosure
before starting the upgrade.

Installing new internal hard drive on G4

[joan]

We have a desk top G4 Quicksilver and want to intall a new 320 GB
Western digital hard drive. Does anyone know a site that will guide us
through the best way to do this? Is cloning the old hard drive onto it
the best?

thanks,
Joan

Don't do that, you'll break it!

"Network" isn't really a folder, but a gui interface into the network  
browser made to look like a folder.

Wha the heck are you doing to your system?  You're trying to 
totally break networking?

If you want to remove the Network icon from the Finder window 
sidebar, change the Finder's preferences!

Make backups.
Let Software Update apply the combo and all the other updates - java, 
itunes, safari, etc.
Make backups.

Hopefully you mean the 10.4.11 PPC COMBO Update? You won't be able to  
install the non-Combo update, it only updates 10.4.10 to 10.4.11.

It's always a good idea to have a copy of the most recent Combo  
Update, but after installing it, you should use Software Update for  
the others unless your connection is flakey, or you're psycho about  
having copies of everything you install. You can set Software Update  
to "download only", which gives you control, and a permanent copy, but  
lets Apple figure out which software you need. I use Software Update.

After installing the 10.4.11 Combo Update you may need to run Software  
Update more than once to get all the current Security Updates. By all  
means, install all the latest Tiger Updates. 10.4.11 was released Nov.  
14, 2007, nearly two years ago. It's the final release of Tiger. No  
version of Tiger is better. Good luck!

10.4.11 upgrade for iBook G3/700

[Ralph Green]

Howdy,
  I have a very nice iBook G3/700 now thanks to someone on the LEM Swap
list.  It is a nice upgrade from the G4/400 tower.  The upgrade on that
tower with a QS CPU did not work as well as I hoped, but I'll try again
later.  For now, I am wondering about OS upgrades.  It came with 10.4.6.
I am downloading the 10.4.11 PPC updater now.  Before I install it, I'd
like to know if there is anything I should be worried about.  I have
plenty of free disk space(24 gig).  Should I apply the update, or is
there some reason to stay with 10.4.6 or some other version?
Good day,
Ralph
