Re: alg5 accidentently deleted a folder and emptied trash

[Lawrence David Eden]

I agree with others who have suggested keeping backups of your computer.  IMHO, 
the external drive that runs TimeMachine should be ON 24/7.  I have 2 external 
drives:  1 runs TimeMachine and the other runs SuperDuper!.  SuperDuper! is 
like CarbonCopy Cloner in that it runs on a schedule that you determine and you 
can use the external HD to boot your Mac.  Very valuable.

Re: Camino won't start anymore

[Lawrence David Eden]

 zap the PRAM.  COMMAND OPTION P R until you hear several restart chimes
Then restart holding COMMAND OPTION O T (the letters)

at the prompt type:  reset-nvram  (RETURN)
set-defaults (RETURN)
reset-all(Return)


Your Mac will restart and, hopefully, Camino will be reset as well.


Larry





Hi,

Lately my main browser is TenFourFox but 
sometimes the QuickTime Enabler won't recognize a 
YouTube video. So I quit TFF and want to start 
good ole Camino but the app tells me it's already 
running!


It isn't. Restarting the Finder or rebooting my MDD doesn't help.

Has anybody had the same experience? Is there a 
workaround? TIA for your comments.


Best regards, Jörg.

Re: Web sites suddenly blocked

[Lawrence David Eden]

A great solution is to find the fastest DNS serves in your area. 
Download a free copy of Namebench.  It will find your best 
alternative.

It sounds like a DNS hijack.


Change you dns provider with the instructions here:

If you don't like google DNS servers, use the one provided by your ISP.

Re: DT Beige G3 to Sonnet G4 upgrade

I have experience.several years ago.  IIRC, during the 
installation process some of my RAM became unseated,  and I had your 
exact issues.  Go back inside the Beige and make press the RAM cards 
in again.


Hope this helps you.

Has anyone here had any experience with installing a Sonnet G4 CPU 
500Mhz upgrade?  I have installed the Sonnet software on my current 
OS 9.2 and then powered down and installed a Sonnet G4 CPU in my DT 
Beige G3. On power up the monitor and disks come on, but no chime.


The manual says nothing about having to pull installed PCI cards or 
the CUDA, PRAM battery or any of that, but I am wondering if some 
additional procedures might be necessary to make the G4 come to life 
on the mobo.

Re: Problem with ColorSync Profiles?

[Lawrence David Eden]

Try zapping the PRAM.  I had this issue when I changed monitors on my 
old Smurf and it took care of the problem.



Larry





Hi All,

I powered-up my G5 today and it was all a shade of blue. My first 
experience of ColourSync. I ran the first aid thing and got this:


/Library/Application 
Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/CoatedFOGRA27.icc 
Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct. 



So...I found this http://forums.adobe.com/thread/371295 and removed 
the description from the Coated FOGRA27 profile.


Since then the repair utility tells me all the profiles are good but 
everything is still very blue. It's better than it was (i think!) but 
seems like there's a real lack of the colour red in particular.


Is there a way to re-install all of the profiles?

I don't have the system disks as a bought a preloaded HDD from eBay. 
It came with an older Photoshop version and Elements and this may 
have caused the problem.


Thanks,
Evan

Re: G5 2.7 RAM upgrade.??

[Lawrence David Eden]

I had a similar experience with my wife's iMac G5 (2005).  I bought 
bargain RAM online and the G5 did not recognize it.  When I replaced 
the RAM with RAM sticks that I bought from OWC, I had no problems. 
If I learned anything from this it is that the brand of RAM is 
important.  I was able to return the bargain RAM for a full refund, 
so the only loss was the loss of time and perspiration.

Re: can *anyone* advise on Flash PPC problem??

[Lawrence David Eden]

Use HTML5 instead of Flash.   Look here:

http://www.youtube.com/html5






1.8 DP G5/Leopard PPC. Flash stopped working on OmniWeb when I
installed Leopard Webkit, which I've now uninstalled. Does anyone know
why this happens? I even reinstalled OmniWeb, no Flash. I even copied
my known good fake version of Flash 11.5 and placed it inside OmniWeb.
That version the OmniWeb prefs read as invalid, and the version in
Library it reads as registered---but not loaded. In any case, no
dice, no Flash on Youtube.

Why Why Why? Can anyone imagine a fix?

Re: Mac Pro Testing Suggestions

[Lawrence David Eden]

Dear Listers,

I would like our Group to start including Intel Macs.  I think that 
many of us are using old G3s, 4s and 5s as well as Intel models.


Your thoughts?

Re: Redirect iTunes?

[Lawrence David Eden]

You need to direct iTunes to Import Library. 
During this process, you tell iTunes where to 
find your music and moviesin this case: the 
path will be your back-up drive.


Larry



Hi,

A big HD with all my music and loads of movies 
died recently and when I want to play a selection 
of tracks in iTunes now I have to show the app 
where to find it. iTunes asks to be shown the 
path to every single track.


I'm happy that I made a copy of my music recently 
with the exact same directory (hierarchy or 
folders) but I cannot find any function in iTunes 
where I can tell the app to look for the rest of 
the music it used to play and thus rebuild its 
catalogue.


Do I really have to redirect iTunes to every 
single track?? This is a real PITA. Running 
iTunes version 7.7 and the last version of Tiger 
on a dual MDD. TIA in advance for your comments.


Best regards, Jörg.

Re: UhOh ... Flash 11.5 Only

This hack worked for me.  I wanted to be able to listen to Pandora

10.4.11, Pandora showed me the doorafter the hack, they were much 
more cooperative.



Larry






  Try this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2016390/FPforFBPPC.zip
 
  It's a hacked Flashplayer plugin pretending to be a newer version.
  It worked on my G5 iMac, G4 Powerbook and many others. It doesn't
  work with every site that requires a newer version of Flash but it
  does with most.

 What is the source (site) for this? I believe I have seen it before ...


It's been around. It's a Flash 10.1 with a hacked version number, which
does seem sufficient for many sites, but it still suffers from the bugs and
security issues of that version.

Flash needs to die.

Re: Better keyboard for my G4

Thanks for that valuable information, Bruce.  I 
bought a keyboard for my Mac that was made by 
Kensington.  It was inexpensive and the action 
felt great, but the Command, Option and Control 
did not function like a Mac keyboard.  I plan to 
give this software a try.


Here is a link to the Kensington:  http://www.jr.com/kensington/pe/KEG_64370/
The only downside for this model is the lack of 
any places to connect USB devices to the keyboard.

You may be able to swap those keys in the

Audio

[Lawrence David Eden]

Greetings Listers,

G4 Yikes! running Tiger (10.4.11)

Somehow a mini plug, that I was using to run my external speakers, 
broke off inside the Yikes' headphone jack.  Trying to retrieve the 
broken portion of the jack has proven difficult.


I have some old Mac parts laying around and thought that maybe I 
could remove the blocked headphone jack and replace it with a 
different one.


My other great idea is to use my drill and go through the metal 
casing of the jack and see if I can get a better view of the broken 
piece and remove it.


I am sure that I can count on all of you to help me put out the fire

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Larry

Re: going to an Intel iMac

[Lawrence David Eden]

I just tried using Migration Assistant:

I am trying to get my Intel iMac to look like my DA G4.

I used my external FW drive that has a recent CCC of my DA's HD.
I allowed Migration Assistant to create a New User Account instead of 
updating an existing account.


Now I have a few questions:

I did not migrate my USER folder.   Is this what was meant by 
allowing Migration Assistant to create a new user?


How do I move my iTunes library over to the Intel iMac if I did not 
copy my user account?

Did my passwords and authorizations import with the Migration Assistant?

I am really enjoying the learning experience...and am thankful that I 
don't rely on the iMac.  It kind of eliminates the pressure  :-)

going to an Intel iMac

[Lawrence David Eden]

Dear Listers,

I am currently using a Dual Processor DA G4.  This Mac runs Tiger (10.4.11)

I recently acquired an early model Intel iMac that has Snow Leopard installed.

My question is:  Can I use CarbonCopyCloner to transfer the contents 
of my G4 over to the Intel?  I realize that there are different 
operating systems on each Mac, and that the Intel would inherit the 
G4's Tiger, but I have the Snow Leopard DVDs and plan on a reinstall 
of Snow Leopard to the Intel iMac after the clone is complete.


Will this work?

Thanks,

Larry

Log into the router's GUI interface using IP address 192.168.1.1 and then
list the log, check it out, and, finally, issue the REBOOT command.

This can be done from any computer on the Intranet side of the router,
using your favorite browser.

router question

[Lawrence David Eden]

Greetings Listers,

I am using a NetGear wireless router in my home, and quite often, 
especially when my children are at home.the router needs to be 
reset in order for me to get online.  If I unplug the router (from 
the electricity)for a couple of seconds and then plug it back in, I 
can always get back online.  My G4 is connected via a CAT5 cable. The 
problem is: the router lives in my garage and is not close to my G4 
in the basement.
Is ther a command of some kind that I can send to the router from the 
basementor must I continue to make that long walk to the garage?

Re: New Member to this list

[Lawrence David Eden]

Welcome.  Before I switched to Mac, I was an Amiga Man too.


Larry





Hello one and all of the G-Group.

I currently have too many G3, G4 and G5 Mac computers, but I am trying
to sell some of them.  My interest in them is in using both MacOS
(versions 9 and 10) and MorphOS on these fine old systems.  For those
that don't know what MorphOS is, it is a re-write of AmigaOS3.1 for
PPC hardware and it started out 11 years ago on Phase5 PPC accelerator
boards for the Amiga A1200, A3000  A4000 computers.

It is a very lightweight operating system, dubbed the Lightning OS.
Although I like MacOS9 and MacOSX and use 10.5.8 for most of my
computing needs, I support the growth and expansion of MorphOS and
hope to be able to use it as my primary operating system very soon.
MorphOS3.0 is about to be released and will include support for the
last few G4 PowerBooks produced by Apple (models 1106, 1107, 1138, and
1139).  MorphOS2.7 is the currently released version and it supports
all G4 Mac Mini's, the 1.25GHz  1.42GHz G4 eMac's, almost all G4
PowerMacs, as long as you install an ATI Radeon video card in them.

For Mac owners that no longer enjoy using MacOS9, or MacOSX on their
slower G4 Mac hardware, you might want to give MorphOS a try, as it is
a free download for the 30 minute time limited demo version.  After
the 30 minutes expire the system slows to a crawl until you restart
your computer and then you have another 30 minutes of unrestricted
speed for free.  If you like it you can purchase a license keyfile
that will remove the time limitation and all updates are free for
registered users.

Proof of concept demonstrations of MorphOS have also been shown on a
dual 2.7GHz G5 PowerMac and a 2.1GHz G5 iMac, though the developers
have stated that they are concentrating on work to perfect MorphOS for
the currently supported G4 Mac hardware before they spend any time
working on porting MorphOS to the G5 models.  Release of MorphOS3.0
with support for the 1.67GHz G4 PowerBooks will be a huge step forward
for all Amiga Like operating systems.  MorphOS is capable of running
most AmigaOS3.1 friendly software natively by using a 680x0 to PPC
Just-in-Time compiler/interpreter.  There are also many new MorphOS
native applications and games, or ports of applications and games from
other platforms.

I am bound to have many questions for the Mac users on this list, as
my experience with MacOSX is limited to only the last 5 years or so.
For example, I need to clone the hard drive in my dual 1.25GHz G4
PowerMac which has an Avid Meridian video editing system installed in
it.  I bought 7 of these systems from a studio that was upgrading
their studio, with the break-out boxes for audio and video input/
output and USB dongles, but one of the systems had a damaged hard
drive and I am trying to restore use of the Avid Meridian editing
hardware and software by cloning the hard drive from one computer to
another.  Since I have the USB dongles for all of the systems and both
the PCI cards inside the computer and the break-out boxes for input/
output, plus the USB dongles are required to use the software, I don't
see why the software on the hard drive would be protected from
copying, but it apparently is, as I have been unsuccessful in my
attempts to copy the Avid software from one hard drive to another.
Any help would be appreciated.  I can also use Ubuntu PPC 10.10 to
clone the drive, if there are any tools for Linux that would be easier
to use than trying to do it with MacOSX.  The Avid Meridian software
only runs on MacOS9.2.2, if that makes any difference to any of you
trying to help me.  Thanks and I hope to get to know more of you on
this list in the future.

Regards,
AmigaDave

All of a sudden my Verbatim USB drive (AC320GB) will not work when 
connected to my Targus USB hub. The hub is powered, and the power 
supply seems to be working. All other USB peripherals work fine when 
plugged into the hub, and the Verbatim drive works fine when plugged 
directly into a USB port on the computer. Could this be an indication 
that the drive is failing? Disk utility reports all is okay with it.


Computer is a dual-processor MDD running 10.4.11.

TenFourFox

[Lawrence David Eden]

Listers,

I recently installed the upgrade of TenFourFox (7.0) on my Mac G4 
running Tiger (10.4.11).
TenFourFox is telling me that I need to install the Flash Player 
Plugin and here is where the trouble begins.  I am unable to find the 
PlugIn on the Internet.  The only versions that I can find are for 
Intel Macs.


Interestingly, I also use Camino and it handles Flash just fine so I 
know that the plugin is somewhere in my System.  Safari can also 
display Flash material.



Can I copy the plugin that Camino uses and make TenFourFox see it as well?
I need step by step instructions.


Thanks,

Larry

strange behavior

I am noticing some unusual behavior recently with my ZIP drive:  When 
I try to eject the ZIP disk, I am told that the ZIP can't be ejected 
because it is in useeven though it is not.


In order to eject the disk, I have to give the command twice.

Anyone seen this behavior before?  Is there a remedy?

Re: Beige PowerMac G3 266 Firmware

When I failed to pay attention to the limit XPF would not install

No! Bruce was right, the Beige has the 1st 8GB restriction, you may

In order to make this work, you'd either need to add a partition 
within the 1st 8GB or boot the HD from an external Firewire 
enclosure (only the Beige internal ATA bus has this crazy 1st 8GB 
restriction).


There are ways to non-destructively add a partition, but these 
generally require at least Leopard or Snow Leopard to 
non-destructively add a partition using Disk Utility. There are 
other programs such as iPartition that can add a partition to a 
active HD.

Re: Quicksilver HD backup problem

[Lawrence David Eden]

Have you tested the FW drive?

Larry Eden








Hi. I have a Quicksilver 2002 G4 with an OWC 1.8 Ghz CPU upgrade. The
hard drive is a Seagate Barracude IDE 80 gig drive. It's a few years
old, but has gotten only moderate use.

The computer is working perfectly, but I'm unable to back up the hard
drive contents by any of several different methods.

I've tried cloning the HD contents to my external FireWire drive,
using both Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper. In each case, the clone
operation starts but then stalls within a matter of minutes.

With CC Cloner, it states at the very beginning of the cloning
operation that There may be a physical problem with the disk. When I
check the option to continue, it runs for maybe 5-10 minutes, copying
maybe 2 gb or so, then freezes.

With Super Duper, it starts normally, runs 5-10 minutes, then states
that some particular file can't be read or written and freezes.

With either program, I can't opt to stop the cloning operation, you
can't force-quit the program, and I'm forced into a hard restart using
the power button.

I tried running Disk Warrior, which detected very little out of the
ordinary, and Disk Utility, which found very little was amiss with the
disk permissions. Neither made any difference, and the cloning
attempts still failed.

I then tried something short of a full cloning operation, erasing the
partition of the external FW drive and then trying to spot-paste the
System folder onto it. This promptly choked as well.

The one operation that succeeded was that I was able to burn a half-
gig or so of files onto a DVD, using the internal burner, without
incident.

The hard drive isn't making any untoward noises, and the computer is
operating perfectly normally. But having irreplaceable old Classic
apps, family photos and business data at risk makes me really, really
nervous.

Probably the best suggestion I've heard so far is to use my MacBook
Pro to copy this computer's HD contents by putting the G4 in target
disk mode (though I'll have to buy a FW 400 to FW 800 cable to try
it), on the theory that it will allow the MacBook Pro to do the heavy
lifting. As for me, I know nothing.

Could the problem be something other than the hard drive?

Thoughts? Theories? Suggestions?

adding printers to a G5 iMac

[Lawrence David Eden]

Dear Listers,

My wife's iMac G5 is currently connected to a Lexmark laser printer 
that works fine. She wants me to connect a color printer to the 
iMac The problem is, I can't ADD any other printers to this 
computer.


I have been talked through the process of adding printers (OS 
10.4.11) by a tech person at Canon, but we were not successful.  The 
printer I am trying to add is a Canon Pixma MX300.


The iMac sees the new printer and it is listed as being connected to 
the Mac via direct USB in System Profiler, but the iMac can't find 
the driver that the Canon tech and I installed and  re-installed.


The printer works fine when connected with the same cable to another Mac.

I suspect that the problem is caused by some sort of conflict in the 
G5, but I don't know how to fix it.  Can any of you suggest a cure?



I have run Disk Warrior, Disk Tools, repaired permissions, zapped 
PRAM,  reset NVRAM and defaults and tried using a different USB port 
and cable.  No problems were discovered





Happy Holidays to all and thanks for your ideas and input.

Mac OS X up thru Tiger fully supports the Smurf, so XPostFacto is not needed.

(Hi Larry!) When I installed Tiger on your revived from the dead
Smurf I did straigt off the OEM 10.4 DVD. XPF was not needed. If 10.4
doesn't install properly on a Smurf I would look for hardware problems
(CPU going bad, RAM needs re-seating, DVD drive needs cleaning, hard
drive failing, etc.) then do an erase and clean install.

No System freezes.  I just can't complete the operation because the

older printer and a G5 iMac

[Lawrence David Eden]

A friend recently gave me a Lexmark X75.  I downloaded the Lexmark 
drivers from their website, but it seems that the X75 is unsupported. 
The G5 can't find a driver...but it does see the printer and 
identifies it by name.


Are there any other ways to solve this problem and get the X75 up and 
running on an iMac G5?


Thanks,

Larry

Smurf startup issues

[Lawrence David Eden]

Listers,

My G3 BW will not boot up.unless I use Safe Mode.  When I try to 
boot normally, I see a rectangular black box in the center of my 
monitor.  The box appears pretty early in the start-up sequence.


I have nothing connected to the G3.  No printer or CAT-5 for 
internet.  The OS is 10.4.11 and the G3 has 1 GB of RAM.


I have done a complete re-format of the HD (20GB Maxtor).  This hard 
drive will start my Sawtooth Mac, but not the Smurf.


Any ideas what might be causing the problem with the Smurf?

Thanks,

Larry

Can a Smurf G3 be booted into Target Mode?

I want to upgrade the OS to 10.4.11 but the Smurf does not have a DVD drive.

Re: OT - to UPS or not to UPS

[Lawrence David Eden]

Most people are too cheap to buy good surge protectors (I definitely 
fit into that category!).  That's where the marketing for the UPS 
comes in -- you end up buying the better surge protector because 
it's part of the UPS box.




What should I look for if I was in the market for a good surge protector?
Are there specific ratings that are a must?

A good surge protector sounds like cheap insurance.
Can you give make and model?

G4 MacBook

[Lawrence David Eden]

My daughter is complaining that her 5 year old MacBook is running 
slowly.  OS 10.4.11


I ran Disk Warrior on the HD and it found no issues that needed fixing.
I also did a deep reset on the computer but she saw no improvement.

The HD is not full

What else should I try?

You can try this: (it may or may not work)

Go here http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/ and download the package.

Double-click on it to ungzip/untar it. Go into the resulting folder 
and find the PPD folder. in there open the hpcups folder.


Find the file hp-psc_1500_series.ppd.gz, drag it to your desktop or 
someplace else you can find it easily.


Double click on that file to ungzip it.

Back in system preferences, select the HP printer, and when it asks 
for a driver, select 'Other'. Navigate to the ppd file you just 
uncompressed and select it.


See if it works. It may not support all the printing functions, and 
scanning and faxing won't be supported but you'll be able to print 
if it works.

school issues

[Lawrence David Eden]

Can connecting a Mac to my school's internet cause problems?

I was told by our tech person that connecting my old iMac at school 
will cause viruses.


I was wise enough not to argue the point, because the simple fact 
that they were concerned was all I needed to realize that I was going 
to lose any argument


I am hoping to re-open the issue at school.where can I find the facts?

Dual 500 G4

[Lawrence David Eden]

Dual 500 Mhz G4
1 GB RAM
2 internal HDs

I have MenuMeters installed so that I can monitor the activity of 
each processor.


This evening I noticed that one of my processors was not 
running--MenuMeters showed 0%.

To remedy the situation I zapped the PRAM, did a low level reset and restarted.

The G4 restarted in OS 9.2.2, and indicated that my date and time 
were incorrect.  When I went to the Date and Time Control Panel to 
set the date and time, my Mac crashed.


I ran DiskWarrior and it repaired several itemsthe same issues on 
each of my internal drives.


I don't know what the problem was with my date and time, or why the 
Mac crashed when I tried to set it.  My PRAM battery is freshyet 
the date showed as 1904.  Strange.


Thankfully, I am back to normal now.

What is the keyboard command that allows you to re-start and then 
select a startup disk?

Re: installing older software

[Lawrence David Eden]

I have a working Quadra 950 (33MHz 68040 !!!) equipped with the 
standard internal floppy drive and with a SCSI cd burner I installed 
in it. It runs OS 7.6.1 and is just the sort of thing you'll need.


Email me and I'll do it for you :-)

Are you sure you can run that old s/w on a G4?



Thank for the offer, but I have some older Macs at work that might be 
able to handle the job.  As for the old software:  this is one more 
reason that I like my old G4:  I can still boot into OS 9 and run my 
old software.

 Larry,

 Other than getting a USB floppy, you can make Disk Images
 of the floppies from a computer with Disk Utility installed.
 Burn the Disk Images on a CD and transfer them. Disk Images
 are the equivalent of a physical volume such as hard drive,
 floppy, etc. You just double click them on your desk top and
 they act like a floppy.

Under OS 9.2.2 you will need the drivers for the printers (probably

IIRC, The Stylus 600 needs a printer port or a serial port to connect

Re: Mozilla Firefox

I am not getting any music to play on www.myspace.com though. Any suggestions?




When I switched to Camino, I had to re-install some itemslike 
Flash Player.  I got everything working by making a comparison with 
Firefox to see what settings and programs I needed.


One thing to try other than the above, is doing a RESET CAMINO from 
the menu bar.  AS you are early in your experience with Camino, you 
have nothing to lose.


Hope this helps.

Re: Why are you (still) using PowerPC-based Macs?

[Lawrence David Eden]

For me, the answer is simple:  My G4 PPC works perfectly and runs the 
software that I need at an acceptable speed.  An added advantage is 
that my G4 can still boot into OS 9 when needed and I can connect my 
old SCSI hard drives easily too.


I have several friends that insist on buying the latest and the 
greatest from Apple or various software vendors.  I, on the other 
hand, am happy with what I have.  My only complaint with my G4 is 
that it is a little jerky when I watch videos on the 
internet...voice and video are a little out of sync.


My wife has a G5 iMac, and I have an Intel based laptop that one of 
my schools issued meboth are very fast and very slickbut 
neither Mac  makes me envious.  So, in short, I will upgrade when I 
have to but probably not before.

Re: Laserwriter 4/600 cartridge problem

[Lawrence David Eden]

I bought a reconditioned cartridge for my LaserWriter 4/600 ages ago.
Not used it all that much (this is the bit that hurts!) and it
suddenly started causing darkish tones on one side of the paper that
was printed. I pulled the cartridge out and it was extraordinary,
when I tried to gently sway it to even the toner it simply started
to leak out of both sides like it thought it was a sand egg timer.
Bloody hell! Why would the toner do this, are there seals that
deteriorate?

Anyway, appreciate anyone knowing where best to get a replacement (I
am so loathe to get rid of it, I even have a perfect spare machine!
But perhaps I should just buy a new USB machine, they are cheap
enough I guess. I already have to start a 7300 on 9 to use it from my
Quicksilver on X via ethernet and a little apple supplied program...

I went through this very problem with a replacement cartridge for my 
LaserSelect 360.  Rather then tell you where I bought the cartridge, 
I will tell you this:  my NEW USB printer works much better than the 
LS 360 ever did.  IMHO, you should forget about the 4/600.  Don't 
waste any more money trying another cartridge when for about the same 
price you can join the 21st Century.

Re: Beige G3 suddenly won't turn on

[Lawrence David Eden]

When you open a Beige, it is easy to slightly unseat one or more of 
the cards.  Press down firmly on all cards.  Also know as The Push 
and Pray System for fixing computers.









G3 zif and spare RAM from the BW.  But, now that I have opened the
case and removed parts I can not get the Beige to turn on.

When I press the power button the PS fan comes on for about a second
and then shuts down.  That's it.  I have tried leaving the battery out
O/N and resetting the MB, I have put the original 266MHz zif back in,
tried it with all the RAM modules it previously used, and without, and
tried it with all PCI cards removed.  Same thing.  Did I accidentally
fry the MB when I removed the cards?  I now see a warning sticker on
the top of the PS that says you must turn off the computer and wait 5
minutes before removing cards from the slots.  I think I had actually
had the computer off for more like a day when I removed the cards, but
maybe my memory is faulty.  I can't think of anything else I might
have done to it.  Anyone seen this failure more before?

Re: LaserJet 4100n problem

[Lawrence David Eden]

I had similar issues with an Apple LaserSelect 360.  I tried several 
new toner cartridges/  I cleaned everything.twice, but no joy.

I hated to part with my faithful servant after so many good years, 
but I gave in and bought a Lexmark Laser printer.

If I learned anything from this episode it was that printers are not 
worth the time and trouble to fix.  In the long run, it would have 
been far easier and much less expensive to just buy a new printer.

FWIW, the Lexmark E120 that I bought, is better in every way than my 
beloved 360.


Your mileage may vary

Larry






Hi,

Hoping someone can point me here...

Our LaserJet 4100n is having some print problems -- light areas on
the pages, schmutzy dots, some light vertical bars.

M'housemate thought it was a toner cartridge issue, so he tried two
others (not new) - didn't fix.

I grabbed the original toner cart (real HP), tipped it a bit, and put
it back in.  That made the pages print evenly (yea, the toner level
is low), but still with some schmutz and several vertical light bars.

Then I followed the directions in the manual... Printed the cleaning
page, used the cleaning page, printed a test.  Immediately schmutz
went away!  Five more cleaning pages later, and all the light bars
except one have gone away.  That remaining bar is about 1/8 wide, 3
3/4 from the right edge of the paper; light but annoying.  It's
quality has not changed at all, during the last couple of cleanings.

What should I try next?  Is this a fuser problem?  Or is this a
roller problem?  Or?  If it's a roller, how do I figure out which
one?  How do I get in there to clean?  I've been looking for some
sort of doc online that shows the internal guts of the thing, but so
far nada.

According to the printer's web interface, the maintenance kit is at
67% and the HP toner cart is at 4%.

Thanks,
- Dan.

Re: Fantom Drives

[Lawrence David Eden]

Does anyone have an opinion on Fantom Drives?





I own 2 Fantom Drives.  I am pleased with both.
My first Fantom was USB onlyso it was not bootable.  The second 
is FW and USB 2, is bootable and I use it to back up my main Mac and 
also have several disc repair programs on this drive.

Both models were very inexpensive

installing old software

[Lawrence David Eden]

Question:  Do I have to boot my G4 in OS 9 if I want to install OS 9 
software, or can I simply launch Classic and then install the old 
software?

An example of this dilemma:  OSX informs me that the version of 
QuickTime that I have installed in my Classic System Folder is not 
recommended.  If I download a newer version of Quick Time, how do I 
install it, and will it interfere in any way with OSX?

Re: Classic on Ruby Red iMac

Jim, I have the CD of 9.0. Held down the C key and booted from the CD.
The install attempt failed. I got a message that said I could not
install 9 on the volume with 10.4 and to choose Options. The choice
there was a Clean install and I don't really know what that entails,
so I quit the installer. What did I miss doing?

The iMac firmware is up to date.

Jane,

A Clean Install is what you want.  It creates a new System Folder, 
and that folder will be OS 9. You will then have Classic on your iMac.

Re: Question about USB ports?

[Lawrence David Eden]

My G4 has USB 1 and I added a USB 2.0 card in one of the PCI slots. 
When the G4 is sleeping with a device (iPod) connected, the OS thinks 
that the device has been improperly removedeven though the device 
is still connected to the port.

So my question is this:  what devices benefit most from USB 2.0?  I 
have a Kensington mouse, a MIDI interface, my computer keyboard, and 
a Lexmark laser printer.

Re: Leave Runnin? Or Not?

BW G3s (Smurfs) do not sleep.  They do sleep the monitor but the

fair amount.

Re: Leave Runnin? Or Not?

I used to turn my Mac off whenever I was not using it.  My intention 
was to save electricity.  However, a few months ago, I had some 
startup issues with my old Smurf and I began leaving the computer on 
because re-starts were traumatic.
Those issues have all been resolved now (Thanks, DC), but I found 
that the convenience of having my Mac on all the time was worth the 
electricity I was burning.  I use sleep mode and my monitor sleeps 
too. I have not seen any difference in my electric bill.

Re: iMac G3 won't boot

[Lawrence David Eden]

Hey Larry,
Does it just seem to take a very long time to boot or it doesn't 
boot at all??? Also what it the processer speed??? I had this 
problem with a 366 G3 Clamshell iBook and it was running Panther 
10.3.9 so I down graded it to Jaguar 10.2.8 and the problem went 
away... Now I know there will be some people out there who will say 
there is nothing wrong running Tiger in these G3's but I tried 
everything I could think of and couldn't get it to boot up any 
faster... Even with Jaguar in the 366 takes a little time but is 
probably twice as fast then Panther was. I have a 466 Clamshell 
running Jaguar and I have booted them up together at the same time 
and the 466 always beats out the 366 by maybe 30-60 seconds... Also 
I forgot to mention these machines are maxed with memory 576mb... 
One thing great about the towers (desktops) you might be able to 
increase the proc speed and I would always max the memory!!! 
CoolKat


It won't finish bootingI fear that the HD is a little long in the 
tooth as suggested by one of our colleagues on the List.
Interestingly, it was working fine until I updated JAVA via Software Update.

The processor speed is 400 MHz

Out of curiosity, what do you intend to use the USB 1.1 ports for?
(I'm assuming you meant USB v1.1 since AFAIK v1.0 was not widely
adopted.)

I've got a PC laptop (or maybe two) around here which only has USB 1.1
ports. The only thing USB 1.1 is good for (IMO) is attaching low data
rate peripherals such as a mouse or keyboard or printer or maybe
moving non-big files to/from USB attached storage. I suppose it would
be OK for copying pictures from a camera if they weren't too big and
you had patience.

OTOH, I have also tried to use USB v1.1 to attach an external drive.
My experience was that it really won't work for most of the things
people might want to use an external drive for these days.

I'm guessing you mean the 5200 LC?  You might be confusing these with the
AIO G3's which DID have 3 PCI slots, but the 5200 LC's (which are AIO type
computers) are older and only have 1 LC PDS slot.  If they are 5200 LC's
then unfortunately you can't use the PCI card =(.

installing Classic over Tiger

[Lawrence David Eden]

I (we) have solved my problem with OS 9 installation over Tiger.

I was attempting the installation on 2 different Macs.  One was a 
front loading iMac G3 and the other was an iBook G4.

I was able to boot from my OS 9.2.1 CD on the iMac only.  The 
installer was able to run and I had to do a Clean Install of OS 9. 
The installation was done over an existing Tiger 10.4.11 and I did 
not need to reformat my HD.  I do not need to boot from OS 9; just 
run a couple of simple programs, and that problem is solved.

The iBook is another story.  Apparently, due to a user stupidity 
error, I thought that I was booting off the OS 9.2.1 CD..NOT SO. 
And that is why the iBook kept telling me that it needed an OS 9 
System Folder in order to run the installer.  Looks like I will have 
to dig up the CDs that came with the iBook if I want to install 
Classic.


So, many thanks to my colleagues on this List who have offered spot 
on advice on how to solve the mystery.  You have all contributed to 
the education of this old Mac user, and I am grateful.

RE: installing Classic over Tiger

[Lawrence David Eden]

.you can slap OS 9 onto a disk anytime.
If you want to boot from it (not just use it as Classic Mode) then
you need to make sure the driver was put on the disk when it was
initialized.



Here is where I run into trouble.  The Mac needs to run Classic in 
order to install Classic.
  When I boot from the OS 9.2.1 installation CD, the Mac boots just 
fine, but when I attempt to run the installer, Classic tries to 
startand then informs me that I do not have a usable OS 9 folder 
from which to run Classic.  Frustrating!

Re: iMac G3

[Lawrence David Eden]

  Booting into Safe Mode (by
holding down the Shift key), clears the system and kernel caches then
rebuilds them.  After that just reboot normally.

I tried Zapping the PRAM and doing a low level re-set (set-defaults), 
reset-all).


Does that accomplish the same thing as your suggestion?

crash on shutdown

[Lawrence David Eden]

Here is what I did:

I used target mode from an iBook G4 to my iMac G3.  I needed to use 
the iBook's DVD drive to install an upgrade to OS 10.4 onto the G3.

The installation ran smoothly, but now, when I shut down the G3 I get 
Apple's small black multi-language screen that tells me that I need 
to re-start my computer.

I ran Disk Warrior and found NO problems on the G3

Any ideas what might be going on with the iMac?

monitors were that inexpensive, I would rather 
have gone with one of thembut you know the 
drill.

So the pros:  Price and performance
The Cons:  none

Ultra-SCSI on a G4

[Lawrence David Eden]

Greetings,

I have an Adaptec AHA-2930B(Mac) that prevents my G4 from waking from 
sleep.  I have removed the card and the Mac sleeps and wakes on 
demand.


So, if I want to connect my external SCSI drives, what do I need to 
install?  I use the SCSI very infrequently, so my question is more 
about getting an education than solving a problem.

Larry

MacBook Pro

[Lawrence David Eden]

My daughter has a 4 year old MacBook Pro that she tells me is 
starting to run noticeably slower.  She has plenty of HD space and 
RAM and a G4 processor.

What can she do to revive her old Mac?  Interestingly, her Mac will 
not boot from my DiskWarrior CD.   I am using version 3.0.3.   Any 
suggestions?

Thanks,

Larry

Re: OSX10.4 on G3

[Lawrence David Eden]

Clarke
He said early model... I would assume (knowing the saying) that he means
tray loader or maybe pre firewire.


The iMac has built in FireWire, USB.350 Mhz.
The CD is a Slot Loaderno tray.




More info on model would help us give u an definitive answer.


Hope I have provided the info you need

MacBook Pro has an intel Core Duo or Core 2 Duo processor.  Perhaps
you mean she has a PowerBook G4?

What can she do to revive her old Mac?  Interestingly, her Mac will
not boot from my DiskWarrior CD.   I am using version 3.0.3.   Any

Use a tool such as OnyX to run the three system maintenance tasks,
clear caches, etc.

Re: OSX10.4 on G3

[Lawrence David Eden]

A question for the List Mavens,

I have an iMac at one of my schools.  It is an early model and does 
not have a DVD drive.  I have 10.3.9 installed and want to upgrade to 
10.4x.  I have Apple's 10.4 update disc, but it is a DVD.

Is there another way to upgrade my iMacor must I purchase a DVD drive?


Thanks,

Larry

Re: Sonnet Encore upgrade for desktop beige G3

[Lawrence David Eden]

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.

Gorka


I had a similar set-up that worked fine for years.  The directions 
that you list above are correct.  IFRC, you have to take a look at 
the Beige's current processorthere were issues with some of them 
that interfered with the installation of the Sonnet card.  Do you see 
that in your instruction manual?  If you are planning on installing 
OS X, be sure that the Sonnet is installed first.
