You can go to System prefs Networking and in the advanced section of the ethernet, Look in the Hardware tab (may be different in 10.4 and 10.5, but on my system it has the following: Configure: Manually or Automatically Speed: Autoselect, 10baseT, 100baseT, 1000BaseT Duplex: Full-duplex, full-duplex Flow Control, maybe Half-duplex (mine doesn't show that, but it may not be relevant under gigabit) MTU: Standard or Çustom. You might be having issues with speed and duplexing. Try setting those manually. been there, done that - no change Supposedly there are ways to set your MTU for better performance with specific networking setups, and you might be able to fix something like that, but I don't have any direct experience.

If wireless, would you consider resetting your wireless network settings, including keychains? This is presuming you made recent changes to your router. That the speed on both machines is the same, would suggest that the issue, the bottleneck is on your router. It's indeed strange that both machines will trottle at the same speed. If you have another router at home, I'd suggest you dig that out and try it. Alternatively, if you can bypass your router, that might be good.

Re: adding memory to iMac G4

I'm not sure how pricey a 1GB DDR SO-DIMM is going to be.. Greetings, Eelco. Thanks for the question, looking closer at the G4 iMacs I see that it isn't just the USB 2 models that have an actual 2GB limit. According to Mactracker: 1. The original G4 iMac, was produced Jan 02 - Feb 03. It uses (1) PC133 144 pin SO-DIMM and (1) PC133 168 pin SDRAM for a maximum of 1GB RAM total. 2. Was produced Feb 03 - Sep 03. The 15 800MHz model uses the same RAM as V1 above, with the same 1GB limit. 3. Was also produced Feb 03 - Sep 03. The 17 1GHz model, uses (1) PC2100 200 pin SO-DIMM and (1) PC-2100 184 pin SDRAM. Apple lists the memory limit at 1GB but the actual limit is 2GB. 4. The USB 2 model was produced Sep 03 (Nov 03 for the 20 model) - Jul 04. It uses (1) PC2700 200 pin SO-DIMM and (1) PC-2700 184 pin SDRAM. In case anyone is wondering why Apple listed some G4 iMacs at 1GB maximum but in reality 2GB is the maximum I think originally each type of RAM was only available up to 512MB per stick for the 1GB limit, but in time higher density 1GB sticks became available and Apple didn't change their specs, maybe to avoid support liability. Then again I could be completely wrong. ;-) In all of the above the SO-DIMM is the user (easily) accessible memory and the SDRAM is the factory (know how to replace thermal paste) memory. These iMacs do not support DDR, and I believe that the memory sticks do not have to be of the same capacity.

Like testing RAM in SU rather than the boot volume? Permissions repair will do nothing whatsoever for this issue, since that applies to executable files only.

I should have mentioned that Western Digital's enterprise drives are warranted for 5 years and have a good reputation. They cost a bit more, but worth it in my mind. Also it is a good idea to maintain an incremental backup, a la Time Machine, for retrieving data that has been lost or corrupted; and a bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper! so you can get back up and running quickly in the event of a catastrophic failure.

During this conversion, most video is available in both formats, and the specific format streamed to your computer is determined by the site dependent upon your browser. It's likely you're getting an HTML5 stream and thinking it's a Flash stream.

I tried Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Camino User Agent strings in Safari and they all loaded youtube.com fine. A larger point is: you have browsers that work, why are you worrying over the ones that won't? Simply because I liked not having Flash in all of my browsers, that was the only reason I started using Chrome in the first place. Any page with Flash that I want to see I drag the url to ShoveBox for later viewing and I avoid Flash issues with my primary browser.

Re: Mapping Out Bad Sectors
On 2011/10/04 09:34, John Martz so eloquently wrote: My understanding is it works this way. If the drive attempts to read a sector and the read fails, the sector is marked as pending. It is not remapped under the rational that the read may succeed in the future. So if you see a non-zero value for pending sectors in the drive's SMART data, this is what has happened. If you write to a sector and the write fails THEN the sector is remapped (if possible). This is tallied in the Reallocated Sectors Count, I think. The drives firmware keeps track of the remapping and reads/writes to that sector redirected from that point on to the remapped sector. The gist is that if you have bad sectors and you want to force the drive to remap them you have to write to those sectors. One way to do this is to perform an erase of the drive i.e. write zeros (or whatever) to every sector on the drive. A format in and of itself may do nothing. It all depends on what sectors on the drive the format writes to. FWIW, I'm not sure what the phrase low level format means with any drive sold this century. For quite some time the format of a hard drive is fixed once it leaves the factory and this can't be tinkered with other than remapping bad sectors via the firmware. And, yes, if you have a large number of either pending or reallocated sectors on a drive, it is a cause for concern about the health of the drive. Especially if the number keeps going up. FWIW, I looked this up on Micromat's website and it said that their write zeros function does not map out bad sectors. They suggested using Disk Utility.app, though there may be other 3rd party apps that can do it too. My main concern is if I do a low level reformat with all zeros, and then at a later date reinitialize the drive, would it then lose it's updated map and revert to the factory's map?

Re: efficient EMac HD transfer
On 2011/08/29 08:10, Don Wakefield so eloquently wrote: Please help me with my EMac 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 / 768 MB DDR SDRAM running Leopard 10.5.8. My internal 80 GB HD is becoming a bit crowded sharing space with all my data and application files. So I have just copied the application and data files over to a new 1 T external HD where they have plenty of elbow room. My question is: Is there a simple way to convince the OS to stop looking for the various links on the original internal drive and coax it instead into finding them on the new drive? I wish to decommission the original files, leaving only the OS on the internal HD, and I would like not to have to relink each individual lost link to its new location. Relinking one by one would be a pain. What is the most efficient way to accomplish the transfer? Your suggestions are welcomed. Do you mean to say that you want the OS on the internal HDD, and you user folder on the external HDD? IF THAT IS THE CASE, go to System Preferences/Accounts, and authenticate as an admin if the lower left padlock is locked. Control click (right click does not seem to work) on your account in the list of accounts on the left. Advanced Options… will appear, click on it and you will be shown several advanced options. As the name implies, these are advanced features. Messing with them could leave you permanently logged out.

Re: Mail Question

On the flip side, if you want to see who you sent a message to previously using BCC, double-click the message and when it opens in it's own window it should show who the recipients were.

Re: 10.5.8 G4 Won't restart
On 2011/08/11 15:37, Vince Meghrouni so eloquently wrote: When I try to properly shut down or restart my G4 Quicksilver OS 10.5.8, the icons leave the screen (the screensaver image - is that what you call it? - remains) and the beach ball spins forever. I can shut it down with the power button and bring it back up. I zapped the PRAM. I've repaired permissions and run disk repair. The disk repair had to make some repairs, which seems a little ominous to me. But it's back to square one. I can't paroperly shut down or restart the machine. Sound familiar to anyone? I had a similar problem, when I tried to logout Leopard everything would quit, even the dock menubar, and then it would just hang for as long as my patience would last (overnight once, still had to do a hard shutdown). But I don't recall seeing the SBBOD. Doing a Safe Boot (hold down the shift key after the 'bong' tone) helped a little, but not for very long. Finally I gave up and went back to 10.4. Software needs brought me back to 10.5, but this time I did an Archive Install, instead of an Upgrade install and I haven't had the problem since. So my question would be, did you install Leopard as an upgrade or as an archive? If it was an upgrade, you might try doing a clean install or an archive install, backing up your data first of course.
