That's a lot of excellent feedback and commiserations. 
I've ordered a usb HD connector  to test the drive.
And, of course, it ramps up awareness of need to back up consistently.
Fortunately, as mentioned, this drive is used only for PPC apps which 
really amounts only to iMovie 5.
I transfer files from my MBP and export vids to vimeo so nothing of 
importance gets parked on the drive.

I should worry more about my MBP though.

As always, thank you LEM list, et.al.

Dead Seagate

[Cliff Rediger]

Have a 

**Seagate 9SL154-302 ST31000528AS Barracuda 7200.12 - 1 TB SATA II

in a

Newer Tech Mini Stack v 2.5
I/O 1394A+USB2.0+HUB

Not that it matters, but  running 10.4.11 as a Mini external boot drive to 
run PPC apps.

One morning... NOTHING. Suddenly, drive is not recognized at all.

 I lost some files as I'm not too diligent about backup but not a disaster.
This is my first HD failure. I sort of presumed one might see some sort of 
weirdness or gradual malfunction.
Should I disassemble the Mini Stack and check for connections?

I did reverse and then swap fireware cable but did not change power brick 
as it fires up, makes usual startup wine, light comes on, i.e. makes 
familiar noises.

Recommendations and commiserations welcome.

We'd issue fancy diplomas (mail order only of course) that displayed

   1. We may be slow but at least we're expensive.
   2. We save you money because we don't use tape measures.
   3. We guarantee 1/4 inch tolerance.

Now, I see we confused the terms: we were jury rigging but
our creed describes jerrybuilding.

Nevertheless, Jerry Rig lives on and continues to respond to our needs
when low or no budget constraint demand.
However, now we call his work, cardboard solutions.

Converting video to HTML5

[Cliff Rediger]

I have a familiar routine for creating relatively small .mov files in
iMovie
and then converting the to .swf (Video2SWF)
for posting on a web site using Dreamweaver.

I convert to .swf because they
   are smaller files
   easier to make play on click
   and more universally viewable

However, now, as we all know
flash has it's limitations.
For example, my 105 and 95 year old in-laws cannot see these videos
on their iPads.

Can anyone recommend an app that converts .mov or mp4 files to HTML5?

Early MacBook comparisons

[Cliff Rediger]

As per my interest in upgrading to the Intel world
while retaining PPC capability,
I've decided to look for a MacBook for improved video card (over Mini)
and portability.

So, I've been looking at  13 A1181(early)
   15 A1175
   17 A1151

When I eBay search on these, a substantially different number of hits
come up for each model. More for 13, less for 17. Mostly batteries
and parts, of course.

One might presume that this difference points to number of units
originally sold,
but just to check:

I'm wondering if those who work with these things daily, might comment
comparatively on the
relative durability, or any know service issues for these earlier
MacBooks.

Thank you
Cliff

 There are still a few times where defragging is warranted, but they're rare

 preferred Defrag is  backup, reformat, restore.

 For video projects you should really have an entire drive designated for your

Stop gap hardware recommendations ?

[Cliff Rediger]

I've been monitoring discussions on Apple's OS progression
and the changes in hardware requirements.

Since I'm running a Mini G4, I feel I'm rapidly receding into
antiquity.

The main issues are CPU speed
and the ever increasing number of cool 10.5+ only apps.

I've lived with the speed thing because my WiFi ISP speed has been
limited. However, now they've increased their bandwidth, so I can get
up to more commonly reasonable internet speeds.

Here's my OS/software criteria:

**Accept that Classic is no longer an option (run separate machine if
necessary)

**Want to retain PPC apps for now, so need Rosetta and apparently can
only max at 10.5 OS

**Cannot afford  to change/upgrade my HDs to GUID.

**Would like best video card/system possible

** Assume a Mini is most affordable option

So, I'm hoping for some advise or direction on which generation of
Mini
would/could maximize my options.

I understand that this might be a Mini forum topic, and happy to
migrate if necessary.

Thank you
Cliff

I like the idea of looking at the books. would provide some

I'm presuming by early gen you mean 32 bit architecture.

Which raises a question about compatibility with iPads etc. Are not
the latest iPads 64 bit arch.?  Of course, that's a future
consideration.

Also, to be clear, you're saying that 10.6.8 is compatible with

Very useful overview, though kind of discouraging

I have four.

I have other questions,
but I think they'll go better in a separate thread.

Intel Mac PPC apps

[Cliff Rediger]

Well, I'm seriously considering upgrading from my Mini G4
to an Intel Mini.

A quick google suggests that with Rosetta
or other such utilities
one can effortlessly run PPC apps in Snow Leopard
on an Intel cpu.

Also, what about Classic apps. ?
  There's one I just can't live without, viz. INCONTROL
  no ToDo/Calendar app like it anywhere that I can find.

Comments and experience appreciated.

Cliff

 Use Keychain Access and go delete all saved internet passwords for Yahoo. 
 This has cleared up similar issues Ive seen in the past.

Thanks for that suggestion Bruce.
I did try that and since I use 1Password I also deleted all yahoo
entries.
Still no joy.
I now cannot POP mail yahoo at all.

Kind of surprised at Yahoo's site and help. Full of false references
and incomplete information.
The do not even mention Mac Mail in their set up advise.

Thanks for the response Dan.

Yahoo doesn't make it easy to contact them.

I spend hours trying many different configs.
Finally, for now anyway, I'm having Yahoo mail forwarded to my other
email address.
I have Mail rule that puts the forwarded emails into a mailbox, but
to get them up near the Inbox, I have a Smart mail box that draws from
that forward box.
It's a jury rig but acceptable for now.
Seriously, considering dropping Yahoo, except I've had the address for
so long
and it's associated with can't-remember-how-many accounts.

 Did you figure out what caused the problem?

Bruce,
First I cloned the external drive from another drive and I naturally
became the administrator. Then I added GLK (father-in-law) as a User
and then made him the administrator. (The plan was to boot from this
drive and/or clone it back to his internal drive.) Then I drag/dropped
GLK's backed up files to the new external drive. Most of the files
(but not all) were locked, read only, with me as the owner. I had to
unlock, change ownership and then I could change folder color.
I don't think this answers cause. That is, I don't know what I could/
should have done to avoid the laborious file by file fix.
Fortunately, GLK doesn't have much on his drive.
Maybe it's the drag/drop file thing?

Folder Label Color settings ?

[Cliff Rediger]

Running Tiger on G4

While transferring files from my father in-law's G4 internal HD
to an external HD
I colored the files that I transferred to keep track.
It seems that the folders or files that I dragged and dropped before
coloring
now allow me to uncolor them on the new drive.
But if I colored them before transferring, now I cannot uncolor them
on the external.

Not a big deal really, but any suggestions are appreciated

No Valid Packages Error ???

[Cliff Rediger]

My father-in-law, George (94 years young), has this PPCG4 tower I
guess you call it, running 10.4.11.

It's quite slow (to my sensibility) and he regularly has things fail
to open or other troublesome  stuff that is frequently solved by re-
booting, which of course he forgets to do.

Anyway, I'm thinking Hey, why not repair permissions and see what
happens. But, to my surprise, I get an error message informing me that
First Aid Failed! Disk Utility stopped repairing permissions on HD
because the following error: No Valid Packages

I told George that he had no valid packages, and he agreed, but we'd
still like to have his Mac run smoother.

Suggestions appreciated.

Happy New Year to all

iTunes EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

[Cliff Rediger]

Tiger on miniG4
itunes 9.2.1

When i try to burn a play list in iTunes
iTunes crashes

error report reads:

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:  KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x7fbda691

Log in as different User: No problem

Google search turns up EXC_BAD_ACCESS problems with almost any app.
so apparently not app specific.

various recommendations including clearing caches, trashing prefs etc.

Advice appreciated.

 Why not burn directly within iTunes?
 Why not upgrade iTunes to 10.1?

I too wondered about this Consul log entry, Kris, since I AM trying to
burn directly from iTunes.
i.e. select playlist / burnplaylist (button at bottom right)

is iTunes 10.1  Tiger compatible?

You know, I haven't burned a CD for awhile so not sure if immediately
previous activity is relevant;
but, for the record...

A friend, who has gone Intel, gave me his 12 PB G4 that he could not
boot after HD replacement.
I got it running and set up a local LAN profile.
Naively (read unthinking) I gave the PB the same user name as my
Mini.
The Mini didn't like that, so I changed the PB name.

Next project was CD burn and all the trouble.

 you absolutely MUST have a high quality UPS

I have a APC UPS before our wifi antenna and router AND another APC

 will you
 put the generator outside and run an extension cord in thru a door or
 window?   generators are quite noisy, and an open window, even a
 crack, will let a lot of cold air in.

That's the plan exactly. Not ideal but could work for short outages.

We have a 50KW generator on the property with a auto transfer switch

but since there are three meters on the property I guess it didn't
work to
connect the service cottage to the auto system and generator.

The third power drop feeds the well pump, water clarifying equipment,
and
water pressure pump that serve the entire property.
i figure in a pinch I can power cord connect some refrigeration
located at this location as well.
This connection has a manual transfer switch that allows manual hook
up to our 7K Honda powered Dayton portable.

I'm consistently amazed by and appreciative for this List.
It's an invaluable resource of generous expert advise and friendly
helpful opinion.

This thread has been especially interesting: besides providing some
assurance regarding the generator hook up,
it also prompted me to turn off my external drives until they are
needed.

thank you,

I just purchased a 800 Rated Watts/900 Max Watts Portable  Chicago
Electric Generators

http://www.harborfreight.com/800-rated-watts-900-max-watts-portable-generator-66619.html

in hopes of having back up power to run our WiFi ISP antenna,

But, then I seem recalling that there are possible issues in the type
of power a generator provides and the type computers like to receive.

I'm running 10.4.11 on G4 Mini

Every time Firefox updates it tells me I must update Flash Player NOW.
So I download and install Flash Player 10.1
but where does it go?

I have Macromedia Flash 8 installed and in the sub folder Players
SAFlashPlayer appears and it appears again in the sub-sub-folder
Release. Who two I don't know.
This is the player that opens when I click on a .swf file. and it is
vs 8.

Spotlight turns up nothing.

I read Dan's Feb post regarding the beta 10.1 with all the
recommendations and caveats, but
I haven't noticed any significant problems with web sites etc.

So I guess I can live with vs 8 or perhaps download vs 9, but can't
help wondering where 10.1 goes when the installer seems to finish
fine.

Advise appreciated.

Can't purchase from ITunes (error 1008) fix

[Cliff Rediger]

Back in November 09 I posted that I couldn't purchase from iTunes
receiving an error message 1008.

I'd upgraded to 9.1 and the only fix that worked was to revert to v 8+

recently I succumbed to the relentless update notices and upgraded to
9.2.1

Everything worked fine until I traveled with the external HD from
which I boot
and on the road booted from my wife's iBook.
When returning to my MiniG4 the previous error reoccured.

Found the fix on the Apple iTunes forum.

In Systems Preferences/Sharing
Change the name of the computer
restart

Once again, my novice status has been flushed out.
I'm not sure what the sensor is for.

but this tape isn't any requirement, it's simply
to keep the wires from moving around, and there's little or no danger
if the tape isn't replaced.

Once, one my enclosure fans seemed to be over-running and someone
suggested
that  I may have the sensor taped in the wrong place.
Correct place, they said, is in the center of the HD, and that seemed
to help.

So, maybe it's the Enclosure Temp Sensor of which I speak.

If electrical tape will work, I'm good with that.
Why use Kapton tape to begin with? I wonder.

I have VGA cable with DVI-to-VGA at the Mini.

But, I think I've stumbled on a fix.

First, POI: I'm booting from an external drive Firewired to the Mini.
Lately, after reconfiguring the daisy connections of my Mini and 4
external drive,
when I Shutdown and then restart, the Mini drive boots (not sure
why).

OK, so, I shut down to check the DVI ports to make sure I need a male
to male DVI cable.
I disconnect the VGA/DVI adapter at the Mini and replug.
Reboot and the Mini drive boots, AND there's FULL SCREEN.
In fact I have to reduce the horizontal size to fit.
A check of the MenuBar Display menu and the selected resolution is
1400x1050
There were three options showing 1400x1050 , 1600x1200 and 1920x1080.
The image is kind of stretched and the fonts a bit too large.
So, I select 1920x1080.
Voila. full screen (no front or back doors). some adjustment required.

Then I go to System Preferences/Displays and select 1920x1980 and
we're back to doors

I repeat the above, get full screen and reboot to my external drive.
Now I have three options in the MenuBar Display menu: 1600x1200,
1920x1080 and another 1920x1080.
One 1920x1080. options gives be partial screen, the other full screen.

Go figure.
I wonder Kris, if this has to do with the VGA selection.
Anyway, the font issue isn't resolved, but I can live with it
and I have full screen.

My previous Del 19 was VGA.
Based on your experience, it doesn't seem to make sense to try a
straight DVI connection.

Mini G4 10.4.11 ViewSonic monitor resolution

[Cliff Rediger]

I'm running 10.4.11 on a mini G4
Bought ViewSonic VA2323WM 23 monitor.
Plug  Play.
Looks great, except
the VA2323 calls for 1920x1080 60 hz display and will only accept
800x600 and 1024x78 as alternatives. Everything else is out of
range.

So two things about the 1920x1080 setting.

1. The window does not fill the screen.
Even when Horizontal size is maxed,
there's a 5/8 border on on the left and 3/8 on the right.

2. While I can adjust font size in most app windows,
the OSX menu bar is much smaller than I like,
as are all the bookmark bars etc in other apps.

In my limited past experience, modifying the resolution generally gave
one
an acceptable balance.

So far no response from VS tech

Wondering if there's a driver that allows for more options
or did I purchase and incompatible unit?

Thanks in advance for responses.

sync iTunes Music

[Cliff Rediger]

iTunes 8.2
on Mini G4
10.4.11

I have two iTunes Music folders
can't remember what I was thinking at the time
probably space, so created second iTunes library on external drive.

now with more HD space, I'd like to synce iTMF 1 with iTMF 2

that is ignore duplicates
copy tunes and info from iTMF 1 (that is not in iTMF 2) to iTMF2
and ignore tunes and info already in iTMF2 but not in iTMF1.

Sync may be the term that defines that, but

suggestions, software recommends and shared experience appreciated

I have three (actually now four)

I boot from the older one (80 G) and have a 1T drive and 250G drive
daisied to it.

I agree with the fan issue. seems to run than I'd like and is
significant white noise.

In general they work for me, but I'm interested in the problem you
report.
Here's my version.

I've been using the 1T drive mostly to boot from when doing AV big
file stuff
so that I'd have sufficient scratch disc space.

Occasionally when booted from the (lets call it a 2.0 mini) things
freeze up with the spinning ball.
If I eject the 1T drive the problem disappears.
Maybe an address problem or something. I'll have to remember to find
the Log next time.

Otherwise I've been happy with the Mini Stacks
and just bought another 2.5 with a 1T Seagate drive so that I can back
up one to one.
I also took advantage of a recent (current?) Seagate deal (see their
site) on their 500G FreeAgent firewire drive.

Peter, in our case no key options work at all.

 An alternative is to rip the DVD and then selectively burn  
 individual DVDs which have one chapter, namely the functional chapter  
 which could have been selected if you could get past the badly  
 authored chapter.

The Ken Burns discs stand out as Not Being Rippable.
I like to burn NetFlix disc to HD for later viewing.
None of my ripping softwares produce a playable version
even in the set discs 1-3.
Though perhaps if I explored burning them with initial chapter bypass
as you suggest they might work.

For now, we'll simply view KB on a standard DVD player

Thanks for the responses.

DVD drive ?

[Cliff Rediger]

We've been using our iBook G4 DVD drive to watch Netflix DVDs.
Never a problem. Until now.
It plays most all  DVDs but we've had three Ken Burns National Parks
Disc 4 fail.
All exactly the same.
Plays the if you copy you'll be punished warning then nothing
no menu

We did have some skipping problems so

I tried a cleaning disc from Radio Shack, but it also never produced
any menus
and could be ejected only by rebooting the iBook.
Not sure if it did anything but
other DVDs are presently playing fine.

Go figure.
Wondering if this might be a sign of drive failure.

Comments appreciated.

Thanks for that thorough response Kris.
I guess part of my trouble is that I'm not sure what happened.

Typically, I back up my boot drive to another drive that I take with
me when I travel along with the  1 TB drive.
Regrettably, I didn't look at the SD settings (this drive to that
drive),
but, did note that it was taking a long time to smart update.
Still, I figured this was because I hadn't backed up for weeks, and I
don't recall it taking an hour or two.

I may have booted the TB drive when setting up, not sure. But, almost
certainly didn't do anything else.

 Also, to correctly use Data Rescue you'd need access to another clean  
 HD.

I understand this and figure(d) I'll need another TB drive to recover.

While you may be able to compile a list of recoverable files using  
 a smaller HD,

That's what I thought and hoped. But I don't see anything in the
recoverable files that look like my lost files.
   
 I still think there SHOULD be MANY recoverable files using Data Rescue  

At your prompt, I'm going to look again

 UNLESS the HD was zeroed, and zeroing a 1TB HD is a fairly long  
 process that's not normally part of a SuperDuper backup.

right. Thank you

Your comments reminded me that I had other DR options, and
 I tried the DR Deleted Files Scan.
It promised a 13+ hour run, so I'm postponing until I get back home.
Then, there's also the Thorough Scan option.

Tracing hot keys

Mini G4 10.4.11

I use a screen capture software that I access with the hot keys
command-shift-4
which gives me a little circle with cross hairs and and drag a section
and it snaps a jpg to the desktop.
I seem to recall that I loaded this app because it permits selection
of the image format
whereas Grab limits one to tiff files.

Anyway, for the life of me I cannot remember or locate this app
(even though it works).

Is there a way to trace the hot keys to the app. ?

File Recovery

[Cliff Rediger]

Color me stupid.

I have two 100 GB drives: one's my basic boot drive (D1) and I
SuperDuper copy to the other (D2) as backup.

When I travel to where my wife is taking care of her parents, I back
up to the second drive, take it with me and boot from it thru her
iBook.

I also have a tera byte drive (D3) that I use for storing av stuff,
like video projects, ripped DVDs etc.
Last I looked it had about 250 GB unused space on it.

Here's the rub. I backed up and packed up D2  D3 and drove to Santa
Barbara.
There I discovered that I must have inadvertently backed up D1 to D3
as all the AV files are gone.

Swell. OK. what to do?
 Local Mac shop whats $300+ to recover.
Looks like file recovery software runs about $100. Any
recommendations  for what works.
And, of course, I might just let it go.

Advise and comments appreciated.

Switching to a better VHS player did the trick and I've successfully
capture/converted a VHS film.
But, format that I can use to burn a DVD?
As far as I know, iGrabber generates only .mov files.
So, you'd have to use iMovie to convert to .dv and iDVD to burn.
There may be other conversion software. I've used MPEG Streamclip.

I also use a screen capture app  Snaptz Pro X and, of course, there
are others.
SPX captures the screen or portion thereof and creates a .mov file.
So you could capture the screen from DVD Player.

Both these options do it all in real time and create very large files.

Mail Act-On   http://www.indev.ca/MailActOn.html
looks like it might fit the bill.
I'm wondering if others have experience with Mail Ac-On
or other similar apps compatible with Tiger?

thank you

Cliff

Apple Script Icon in Mail Menu Bar

[Cliff Rediger]

on Mini G4 Tiger
the Apple Scripts icon appears in the Menu Bar in
Safari, Firefox, Camino
but not in Mail or FileMaker

must be a way to get it there.
any advise or comment appreciated.

I figured it out.
One can have only so many icons in the Menu Bar.
You can reorder them by Command-drag.
Delete by Command-dragging off the bar.
I deleted one and the Apple Script Icon popped in.
