Re: iTunes 9 PPC Macs
I still have the very first iPod and still use it for music and as an external HD!!! Yrs ago when they went from 1.0 to 1.5 it pissed me off because it down loaded a clock in mine and it burned up the battery twice as fast... How many clocks do we really need anyway??? When ever my computer ran software updates I always unchecked the iTunes ones after that... Now the only good thing that came with the updates was somewhere through out the yrs it pulls the album titles and song tracks from the internet so I don't have to type them in anymore!!! So I learned something with this, we have to take the good with the bad... I say uninstall iTunes 9 and go back to iTunes 8!!! I also read something else here with these threads is: You can only link one iPod with 2 computers??? Maybe this is why I can't get it to work on some computers, but it does work on more then 2 of them???

Re: Weird happenings
So, just to be sure, you don't have Picasa or Google Earth or ANY form
of Google app installed? That's normally why you'd get Google Updates
even trying to run at all.
At any rate, a quick Google of your problem (sorry, couldn't resist)

Strange Applejack behavior
Updated iTunes on my G4 with OS 10.5.8 and had Mail start up over
night. Checked and system preference accounts is not set to open Mail.
Under preferences for Mail is set for Thunderbird to be the default.
So I ran Applejack and typed in r for restart. In red letters I got
{ 41 918448} UniNEnet:restart Receiver over and over and was
continuing until I used the restart button. Any ideas?

Groups Archives disapppear
I've been trying to help someone with a problem, and needed to access the archives of the group, and it appears Google has dumped most of the archives for ALL groups except for recent postings within the past few years? This seems crazy. There is detailed information in the archives that is nearly impossible to recreate. Google started their Groups by purchasing the USENET newsgroups archives from Deja News in 2001. At that time, if I searched for posting in All Groups using my brother's name, I'd find search results going clear back into the early mid-1980's. Now, results barely reach back a couple years, and there seems to be no access to an advanced search that would give access to all the old archives, assuming they still exist? It appears to me that this move to Google Groups isn't the wisest choice. Our archives have be split into disjoint sets and now are completely gone forever for older postings. I don't know how much space these old text postings take, but it must be miniscule compared to modern sites like Flicker. Google has really let us down. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Can you create other folders in y/ that are seen? IOW, make sure y isn't foo. Yes, that was a strategy I was about to implement (I have many folders with the exact content of the invisible one) but one worry was my being able to delete the invisible one later. I was thinking maybe I will run into trouble there. Perhaps z is set to be invisible? Perhaps z is set to not be viewable by you? The easy fix is to just create a new folder in y/, move z's stuff into it, then remove z. I have deleted Application, Font, System and Kernal caches. What would they have to do with this problem? Nothing! I panicked in ignorance about the cause of the problem! I also boiled 4 frogs and a snake head and made soup and ate. I still have no idea how it happened. In fact, I solved the problem using terminal. Here is a snip from a post of mine elsewhere: I found SetFile in an old update package I had in Library.

Re: Upgrading a Beige
I recently put a Sonnet G4 in my BlueWhite. Works fine now I've sorted the firmware - Sonnet's tool for this didn't work, but one from someone else did. Liam, do you have the G4 enabler CD? I got a Sonnet G4 card for my beige G3 but without the CD! Would you be interested in a deal??

You can go up to a 10x multiplier I think, but I never saw any ZIFs fast enough to handle that multiplier. I always had success taking a B W processor 1 step faster in a beige with no problems. ie, a 400 to 433. Once or twice, I was able to get stability at 2 steps (400 to 466) with lots of cooling. But I always had a lot of drives and could never get enough cooling to run that way for too long. Good ol' OWC, still has the beige jumper setting chart up. Here is is: http://eshop.macsales.com/Tech/Load_Page.cfm?page=beigejumpers.html Unless you really want to live on the edge, I would stick with the 66MHz bus and 33MHz pci settings. Some beiges (Rev A Motherboards, iirc) had a chip near the processor called, iirc, the grackle chip that was rated at 83MHz. Looking near the processor, it is a purplish colored chip and if the numbers end in -83 you could POSSIBLY overclock the main system bus to 83MHz. As far as I know, the highest multiplier was 8x, which gives 533MHz at 66MHz bus. OWC was always friendly to overclockers and my guess is that if there was a was to take a 533MHz rated chip to 566 or even 600, they would have shown it, with the usual disclaimers.

Re: Final Cut Pro Problem

I purchased a little (non-HD) Canon FS100 video camera about 9 months ago that records to a SDHC card. The images and sound are incredible, but I have never worked editing or downloading them until now, because the quality and color was so impressive, I just displayed them right out of the camera. Now, when paired up with a wireless mike, the FS100 makes a very good platform for talking head videos. At least that's what I thought. The FCP does not recognize the individual files that the video seems to be broken up into (last count, about 32 all of the same length) and only accessible down 3 clicks until the individual file are reached, and then only as part of an import attempt that has them listed as standard ie: I think they are talking format, since no other choices would allow me to click any levels of names/directories more than once. At the point of the individual file name (using .img), the program comes back with the error code saying it doesn't recognize the file format. I attempted to access both the file downloaded to the desktop and directly out of the camera. Neither the card directly out of the camera nor the file downloaded to the desktop is readable.
