WebKit Nightly warns about plug-ins by default - just in case the 
plug-in interfaces get changed.  It's a general warning to make you 
aware of the fact that there could be problems, so you need to keep 
up with things.

Either quit and relaunch Safari more often or switch to WebKit

While Safari is this big, how much free space is available on your boot volume?

Re: Target Disk Mode FireWire has lots of problems

[Kris Tilford]

When you describe these problems, it would be nice if you'd post the  
exact models of Macs you're using, and the exact OS version you're  
using. The term "G4" could describe either a desktop or laptop, and  
there so so many combinations of various G4 models and OS versions  
available for them.


It's strange that it's asking you to partition the HD. I'm guessing  
that perhaps you've got a PPC G4 and an Intel Mac? If that's the case,  
you're probably going to have problems. I believe a PPC Mac can  
actually boot 10.5 Leopard from a GUID partition format rather than  
the normal Apple partition format. I also believe that if you're  
booted on an Intel Mac it will not install onto an Apple partition  
format HD, so you'd be required to reformat to GUID before the  
installer would work correctly.


If you're using two PPC Macs, the question would be "why" is the  
installer asking you to "partition" the HD unless it's detecting that  
it's perceived as a "wrong" partition format? If you only "erased" the  
HD rather than "partitioned" the HD, the original format should still  
be correct, so the installer shouldn't warn you unless it's an Intel/ 
PPC thing.

My personal experience with eSATA has been mixed. When it works it's
great. When it doesn't, I really am never all that sure what's wrong.
Rather than troubleshooting it, I'm usually more just fiddling around
to try to get it to work.

I've always assumed that the problem is most likely in one of three places:

(1) The SATA controller which in my case is usually the chipset on my
(PC) motherboard. This is usually the last thing I worry about mostly
because if it is bad, then I assume I would have problems in all drive
situations, not just eSATA. This can be tested just by attaching
another drive or even by removing the drive you're having a problem
with from the eSATA enclosure and connecting it using an internal SATA
data & power connectors.

(2) The controller/bridge chips in the external enclosure. Again, I
hope it's not this because it would be a beast to track down and
verify.  The only way that occurs to me to approach it is by process
of long & tedious elimination.

FWIW, I do sometimes try power cycling the enclosure on the off chance
there was a race condition when things were supposed to initialize ...
something you'd hope would never happen at this point in computing
hardware history ... but who knows?

(3) The cable or the cable connection. Since the cables I have are
usually all included for "free" with some other accessory I bought, I
assume they are made the cheapest way possible and thus are for me the
most suspect. However, I think as often as not it's just some sort of
bad connection. Removing and replugging the cable or even just
"jiggling" it can sometimes be enough to get a proper connection.

As an example, I just powered up an external enclosure which is eSATA
attached. The drive was not recognized. After tinkering with some
other things I eventually pulled the eSATA cable from the enclosure
and replugged it. This caused the drive to be recognized. Go figure?

If fiddling with the cable doesn't help and you have access to another
eSATA cable, I would at least try it. Possibly you might be able to
coax the manufacturer to send you a replacement cable? Miracles
sometimes happen, no?

IMO, the more I fiddle with it, the more eSATA ... and SATA connectors
in general ... feels like one of those nifty ideas that was released
without thinking it through and/or refining the prototypes enough.
Probably an inevitable problem when the companies that sell the tech
are also responsible for the specs. They're more concerned with
getting something out the door than with making it more bullet proof.

for our G4, G5 and so on? Any help will be appreciated. BTW I did  
purchase the 6 to 6 config for $22.


All Macs with Firewire400 use 6-pin connections. The other end depends  
on what you're connecting to, they may be 4 or 6 pin. FW800 cables are  
9 pin and are another kettle of horses.


Also, you sorely overpaid for that 6-6 cable. A 6pin to 6pin 6 ft  
cable is $2.75 at Monoprice





I never buy a cable anywhere else, unless I need it immediately (and  
at that our local electronics supply store is still cheaper than Frys!  
I bought a FW800-FW400 6-pin cable there for $11.)

Sounds like either a bad Sata controller (or trace on the internal

Re: Beige G3 not booting from CD!

The G3 connects fine! Is the Performa the one not behaving! The Ethernet card 
goes into the PDS slot.

But are you using a PCI Ethernet card? Why don't you use the RJ-45
interface on the motherboard? (of course it is 10baseT, but it should
work well if you're not doing any network-intensive work!)

Asantes have trouble with auto-sensing routers... (at least the NuBus
versions did, not sure about the PCI ones!) I have a IIci with an
Asante card, and the solution for my problem was getting a 10baseT
hub! :P

replaced the battery (one screw to open the case, slide battery out
disconnect two color coded leads, then reverse to install) and was back in
use.  The APC models I've had didn't seem as easy to get into, so I've never
replaced a battery in one of those.


Thank you both for your time and contribution, Jack and Anne.

Now that's not bad budgeting. I admire you, Jack. I wasn't interested
enough to get a
replacement battery for the APC - The cost is too close to a new w/
free shipping (Which I got). Plus, I have no idea how long the
replacement will last and if it doesn't have the reports that it would
last as long as the manufacturer's new one I figure: Why not buy a new
one anyway?

The APC was showing odd signs I didn't consider until now, like it was
beeping sometimes and of course, the power has been going out a couple
times every couple weeks.
Anyway, thank you! Lots more gardening ahead in my yard!

If the APC is A Back-ups e s 550 I would be interested in the switch or 
case less battery. On mine the switch won't move and likes to cut off on 
it's own. Most of the time dropping, walking heavy or stomping floor 
causes status change. Today if shut off 5 times in 4 hours, needless to 
say it's out of service.

If It compatible post off line.

Opera (WHY Try?)

[Wallace Adrian D'Alessio]

First there was Mozilla- Netscape. The best of it's day. Reliable stable
relatively trouble free.

Now it is Firefox. Yeah there were a few probs but they fixed them fast.
have used it with Mac OS, Winblows and Lameux. Practically falls of the web
and onto your hard drive. Easy editing, management, and settings.  Great
plug ins and add-ons.

Reliable, stable, works great with antivirus ware, fast and friendly. I
would not consider any other as a primary browser under current conditions.
