Re: (1st post) Can a G4 be upgraded to handle current DAWs?

2016-01-02 Thread Robert H. Baucom 
Don’t know about  Full Studio requirements, but if you can find the upgrade 
items at a reasonable cost … you quicksilver can  be converted to 1.4GB (I 
bought one)
A SATA SERIAL ATA PCI CARD (Sonnet) and max the ram (4GB) … I think should able 
to handle a home system. Of course it would be better if you had a Mirror Door 
G4, but I’d think a Quicksilver would work. Some people used DA’s.

I'm trying to find the most cost effective path to a Mac that can run one of

I have my old G4, and I just assumed it's too limited in terms of max RAM 
capacity, motherboard etc., so that no matter what I jam in there, it could 
never run at the level these applications demand- esp. for editing etc.
Then I came across a couple videos of guys using beefed up G5's, and thought 
I'd at least ask.
According to 'common wisdom', if I were to put together an '06-'11 Mac Pro, 
they'd need to have something like this onboard:
Apple Mac Pro 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core Xeon 16GB 240GB SSD 640GB to compete with the 
newer systems the software is optimized for.
With that in mind, is it an exercise in futility to even attempt to throw $ at 
my old Mac, or has/is anyone having success in a home studio setting with one?

Re: Apple Mail questions

 What everyone is telling you is true . I keep the same computer you have - 
Offline to Handle my Finances. That way there’s no danger  of anyone hacking 
into my accounts or password lists …  or stealing date. 
Though I’m using a mid 2012 APPLE Pro Tower with Yosemite OS 10.10.1 … I can 
only recommend getting a unit that will at least run the Maverick OS. 

IN FACT, I suggest you just stay with Maverick, the Calendar is simpler to make 
alerts and considering  other features dropped in Yosemite. PLUS, Yosemite is 
BUTT UGLY.   The Safari Icon is moronically, dimwitted, as is the contacts 
icon. BUT, I love Apple Mail.

 Hi,
 
 Sooo... I switched from Eudora to Apple Mail and am having a few growing 
 pains.
 (QuickSilver 2002, Leopard)
 
 I used EudoraMailboxCleaner, rebuilt the resulting mailboxes in Apple Mail, 
 and got most of my filters er a rules working.
 
 My first impression of Apple Mail was that it's a POS because it was 
 abysmally slow.  Turns out that to rebuild a mailbox, Mail opens each and 
 every message for *writing*, not just reading - so when they're closed, 
 fseventer throws them at ClamXav and Splotchlight for that unnecessary 2nd 
 and 3rd rescan.  Splotchlight, of course, goes into convulsions from being 
 given so much work to do, mangles its indexing, and throws thousands and 
 thousands of errors at the console, which then requires several cpu hours of 
 the logger process futzing around.  sigh.  So I beat it all with a stick, 
 disabled Clam and Splotch, let the rebuilds finish (21 years worth of mail!) 
 then let Splotchlight spend the night reindexing from scratch.

Well, to be honest, moving to a modern version of the OS will help a great 
deal...the computer is 12 years old, the os is what, 7? 

With Snow Leopard (iirc) Apple moved from monolithic .mbox mail files to .eml 
files in directories, which speeds up message management by a gazillion times. 
Spotlight was vastly improved over the years. I have users with tens of 
thousands of emails in their mailboxes and normal performance. 

Spotlight actually works now :-) It's quite useful, and I haven't seen a 
machine bog down with indexing in a dogs age. Apple's made a lot of 
improvements over the years.

 
 Ok - the questions:
 
 Other than installing a newer WebKit system-wide (which has stability 
 issues), is there an easy way to point Mail to using a newer build?  The 
 newer builds are much faster at displaying image heavy messages.
 

No really, because Mail is calling the system Webkit libs; again 'getting a 
newer version of the OS' and, hence, moving to an Intel system is a surefire 
way to improve performance.



 How do I tell Apple Mail to throw a message to my default browser?  Now and 
 then, friends (peecee users) send me poorly formatted html messages that 
 get mangled by WebKit.  I know by previous experience that if I throw them at 
 a non-webkit browser (eg: TenFourFox), they display just fine.  In Eudora, I 
 did this by selecting the message then hitting an open in browser button.  
 What is the equivalent for Apple Mail?

There really isn't one; because Mail is using (theoretically) the same engine 
as the default web browser. Of course, since your system Webkit version is 
ancient, you'll run into issues.

 
 How do I quickly grab in-line photos?  Some people send me messages that 
 contain dozens of photos.  They're in-line - dragged into the message body, 
 not regular attachments.  In Eudora, they appeared as files in Eudora's 
 Parts folder - easy to grab from Finder.  Where does Apple Mail stash them?
 

I know that in current versions of mail there's a kind of pop-up menu that will 
let me select any or all attachments to save. 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4pojrv6fatugfvu/mail%20attachments%20menu.png?dl=0 
IIRC there were attachments buttons in the tool bars that did the same thing.

Explore the toolbar customization menu, there's a bunch of useful tools that 
aren't in the standard set.


 How do I create a rule to move sent messages to their appropriate mailbox?  
 I'm accumulating mailing list replies and such in the Sent mailbox.  I'd like 
 them to automagically move to the right mailbox, to keep the threads intact.

I'm pretty sure if you add a rule to the Sent mailbox you should be able to do 
what you want.

Re: Mail corruption issue:? Testing Ram

2013-08-19 Thread ROBERT H. BAUCOM 
It's been so many years since I've had a bad RAM chip … had to dig back in my 
memory.
On my Quicksilvers, I found that sometimes a chip would not be fully seated in 
its slot. 
Check that they are correct and try it.  If that doesn't do it, Pull one of you 
Ram chips and restart. If still no working, replace that chip and pull the next 
one. By the process of elimination you should be able to determine if, 'in 
fact', one of them is defective. If none of them are defective, one of the 
smarter folk will have to help you. I've never had this 1.2GHz Quad-Core Intel 
Xeon open in the 14 months I've had it. No need to.

I am using Mail 2.1.3 on 10.4.11 installed on a G5. Something became corrupted

I tried everything I could think of. Ran disk utility, ran everything in OnyX, 
booted in Safe Mode, removed Plist. Heck, I got so desperate I even repaired 
permissions. Nothing helped.

Having to get Mail up and running, I copied my existing mail folder from 
Users/me/Library/mail to another disk and started Mail fresh. I tried importing 
the mail from the previous folder and it would crash upon opening after import.

The main error message I see in crash log is:

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:  KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x8a7ad83d

Which googling implies bad ram. No new ram installed in months, no other apps 
crashing.

What I am looking to do is get my old mail back and into Mail. I have tried 
dragging individual messages ( 1070409.emlx ) onto Mail, but that doesn't work. 
I can double lick an .emlx and it opens in mail, but I can't search them and I 
have thousands of messages I am trying to recover, so opening each, then 
forwarding it to me is not a real option.

Thanks for any help,

Re: upgrade eMac

2013-06-22 Thread ROBERT H. BAUCOM 
I don't know which eMac you have, but I bought a used eMac G4, 1.25GHz several 
years  ago. Loved it as i had my SE30 *  back in '93. 
My wife has used it for her eMail these past three years. I had upgraded it to 
OS10.5.8 (Leopard) way back when. It's a great OS and very stable. I recommend 
it with  out any reservations. I bought an eMac 10.5 install disk for it 
several years ago. and did the upgrade to 10.5.8.
The only minor problem that I had was having to upgrade Apple Works from  ver 
6.2.7 to 6.2.9. The good thing is. it will run Quicken 7. The last good Money 
Management app they made. So saying I have put OS10.5.8 on my Quicksilver and 
Quicken 7. Since it's not connected to the  internet, I keep all our finances, 
investments, income tax and password list on it.
The Quicken Essentials SW, sucks  in my estimation.

 That contains a complete copy of your memory.  It's created by the OS when it 
 goes into a deep sleep.  The complete copy is required because at that point, 
 the Mac essentially turns itself off.  When you wake it up, memory is quickly 
 reloaded from that file.  You can get rid of it by disabling deep sleep.

 You can delete that.  Good idea to make a backup of it first, just in case.

 the voltage regulator  power supply sometimes have a residual charge that 
 keeps the CUDA from properly resetting. To be certain the CUDA is reset, 
 you'll need to remove the PRAM battery and the cable from the power supply 
 to the motherboard, THEN press the CUDA and WAIT about 5-15 minutes, then 
 press the CUDA again, and reassemble the cable  PRAM battery.
 
 If this doesn't work, remove PRAM  PS cable again, and let it sit

But, when Steve Jobs stopped licensing the PowerComputing® clones … it Chapped

Had a PowerComputing Power 100 (100 MHz 601 processor) that I bought used for

Cost me a $100.00 for a new one. 
Then read they were a problem on PowerComputing models ... So, being my

power supplies … and with  several machines out there in my family … never had 
a Power Supply go out on one of them over the  next five to seven years.

 think that this part may have failed as I cannot think of what else would 
 prevent it from getting any power. Could a power surge possible ruin this 
 part and not damage the AC power/charger device?
 
 If the battery shows a full charge, and the system won't boot off of just the 
 battery, I'd say that the DC board on it died.
 
 Kinda fiddly to replace :

 You'd need to mask off the rest of the board with foil and be very careful, 
 but you can fix these broken solder joints if you're lucky.

Re: G5 Power Mac Failure: Replacement SATA OSX

2013-02-02 Thread ROBERT H. BAUCOM 
AT THE VERY LEAST GET OS10.4.8 …. It proved for me to be a most stable OS and 
would work with a lot of the later software. I still have a 2000 Quicksilver 
W/Sonnet 1.4 GHz upgrade on OS10.4.8: running Quicken 2007 and Apple Works ver 
6.2.9. Bought me a New Apple Pro Tower G5 and work more on the ole Quicksilver 
since the Short Cut Commands are more familiar.

 My G5 appears to have experienced an HDD failure and now hangs at boot on 
 the logo screen. I bought it with Leopard pre-installed so I'm now in need 
 of a replacement SATA drive and a copy of OSX. Money is tight so cheapest 
 possible options. I only want to use it for Final Cut Express 4 and Adobe 
 Creative Suite CS3.
 
 
 SATA HDD
 I was thinking something less than 100GB just for the OS. What are the 
 implications of type or speed of SATA drive? I'm only aware that 7200rpm is 
 best for video scratch disks but what about OS? I have a 320GB in there for 
 video scratch purposes.
 
 OSX
 I think I can get by with Tiger? Certainly true for FCE 4. Is Snow Leopard a 
 stand-alone OS? Can't seem to find any G5 original installation disks for 
 sale. Now cruising eBay.
 
 G5 / 2.0 / DP / 512MB
 
 The LEM Swap list may be better than cruising eBay. SATA drives the size you 
 need are not terribly expensive and appear frequently; or just post a WTB. 
 Even new or refurb drives from retail sellers like geeks.com or newegg.com 
 are reasonably priced.
 
 
 CS3 only requires OS 10.4.8 and I your G5 will boot from any retail version 
 of OS 10.4 (black label) unless it is a late 2005 model and then you will 
 need 10.4.4 --according to Mactracker. If  you don't need 10.5 for any other 
 software or its features the retail (black label) versions of 10.4.x will do. 
 A free upgrade to 10.4.11 is available from the Apple support site.
 
 
 Oh, and you may want to upgrade the RAM, 512 MB is very light for any version 
 of OS 10 not to mention FCE and CS. --glen

Re: Mac Pro Testing Suggestions

2013-01-10 Thread ROBERT H. BAUCOM 
I agree that Mountain Lion is a pain in the posterior to any old time, Mac 
Proficient, Senior. That being the case, I use my new Mac Pro Tower, 1.2 GHz 
Quad-Core Intel Chip for email and certain projects …   BUT , I keep my 
Quicksilver with AirPort/Wifi turned off for my finances and investments. It 
runs Leopard OS11.5.8 and Quicken 2007 PLUS ) It has the discontinued Apple 
Works 6.2.9 on it. 

It seems that  everything New Apple comes up with … drops a feature that I had 
used everyday. Such as back then, Macro's on Apple Works word processing (which 
really chapped my tail) … and then, they dropped Apple Works). With Mountain 
Lion's Pages there are also no Macro's. In can't find a way to increase the 
Print size in incoming Mail, etc. etc.

For that matter, I know of a person (very  much more Macintosh Knowledgeable 
than me) that does high end home remodeling. He stayed with OS9.2.2 in  his 
business, because: he had all the drafting software and I quote, I don't have 
time to waste learning a New System and all the short cuts every time Apple 
changes the OS. The older software that I own does the job just fine.

In my case, All my envelopes, Letter heads, lists, contracts, etc are Apple 
Works documents. 

Pages is too similar  to MicroSuck WORD to me … And I rejected Werd many 
years back. For writing, I changed to Nisus Writer Pro years ago. To submit a 
manuscript, which MS Werd is the  only thing most editors will accept these 
days, Nisus writer will convert it to MS Werd for submission.

 I respectfully disagree.
 First, if you don't know the OP needs, how could you know what's best for
 him?
 Second, Snow Leopard has - at least - a couple benefits over Lion / M.Lion:
 - SL can still run PPC applications (via Rosetta)
 - the interface is - IMHO - better and clearer.
 
 I had to use a Lion-equipped Mac, and I was lost! :-o
 The user interface and Finder didn't behave like I was used to; Mac's user
 friendliness my @ss!
 
 
 
 (and I'm a long time Mac user, no newbie)
 
 Thus no, newer is NOT always better. ;-)

Re: Apple --AHT images?

Checking the net, here's what I found.
1. Honestly, AHT is useless junk. It's not worth your time stressing over it 
not working. – Dan Barrett Apr 29 at 12:46
2. I suppose AHT has some uses, but mostly I just want the time back I spent 
trying to use it and then trying to see what the messages mean if it actually 
finds something (or dealing with the occasional false positive result.) Or what 
@DanBarrett said. – bmike♦ Dec 6 at 2:03

Re: PRAM BATTERIES PowerMac G4 Quicksilver

2012-11-08 Thread ROBERT H. BAUCOM 
When All Electronics (http://allelectronics.com/   ) ran out of them,  
I quit buying them 20 at a pop. Every since I used   OWC (other World  
Computing) is as my Mac Battery source.

After just sitting for a year, my first guess would be the PRAM  
battery,

but there could be a number of other things.


Nominally 3.6 volts, these usually measure 3.68 volts when brand-new.

Although many Macs will run properly when the PRAM battery voltage has
reduced to 3.0 volts, these batteries should be considered dead when  
the

voltage has reduced to 3.2 volts.

These 1/2 AA-sized batteries are stocked almost everywhere. Radio Shack
has them if nobody else does.

These are made by many battery manufacturers all over the World.

My own fave is the Maxell (Japan), but Tadiran (Israel) and SAFT
(France) are good, too.
