It comes as a Classic compatibility option that you can install from your restore DVD/CD that shipped with your computer. The Classic OS 9 operating system that ships on the restore disc is not a standalone bootable operating system. It's a crippled version of OS 9 designed to provide Classic support only. -- Chris From jpfreeman at mac.com Fri Apr 1 07:58:58 2005 From: jpfreeman at mac.com (Jim Freeman) Date: Fri Apr 1 08:20:14 2005 Subject: [Ti] internet banking from my Powerbook In-Reply-To: References: <66df5ac68c4cd776cd419812f823a120@mac.com> Message-ID: <072a4ea0b50cf1c5687b9702b48a0b5e@mac.com> Since you guys brought up the subject I might as well mention one of my biggest computer dissapointments. I used to use Quicken to download and keep track of financial information. But my bank in California at the time stopped supporting Quicken for Mac, and now I'm in Canada and my bank here only allows me to download transactions in some strange windows format that Quicken won't import. Things worked so well when I could just push the update button in Quicken and all my transactions were automatically added to the register, even though Quicken was a lame program. Now my banking information is all pretty dispersed and I have no easy computer way to keep track of it. It's all web-based now -- credit cards, bank accounts, brokerage. I can't manipulate information the way I like and most of the banks only allow acces to the past couple of months.

In my opinion, and I've used a *lot* of bags to carry a lot of various PB's around the world, the Brenthaven bags, designed exclusively for Apple and the Powerbooks, are the best value wise. They may be more expensive than other bags but you get what you pay for. I have a bag for the 15" PB that is over 3 years old, has been around the world (Tokyo once, Paris 3 times, New York, Dallas, SF, etc) and you can't tell it apart from my co-host's brand new bag - we had to get identifying tags to tell them apart. :) And these bags don't get babied. They get thrown around, stuffed into taxi trunks in New York, thrown on the floor in press rooms in Paris, left behind in bars in SF (don't ask) and they not only don't look the worse for wear, they protect thousands of dollars of electronic, computer and video gear stuffed inside of them. As you can tell, I *highly* recommend them. As a matter of fact, I so highly recommend them, I actually *bought* one.....and if you know anything about the media, we *hate* to buy anything. :) -- Shawn King Host/Executive Producer Your Mac Life http://www.yourmaclife.com From jwegriffin at mac.com Fri Apr 1 13:27:14 2005 From: jwegriffin at mac.com (John Griffin) Date: Fri Apr 1 13:27:35 2005 Subject: [Ti] Entourage acting weird!

I am very backup oriented since a few years ago when I had very subtle motherboard problems that really made a lot of trouble (luckily-I was backed up, but there were a few scary moments). Today with firewire disks so inexpensive, if you aren't already backing up, you should consider it. It's also a great way to "test" your hardware, because making clones (I use Carbon Copy Cloner) doesn't work many times when there are weird, small, intermittent, almost undetectable problems brewing.

Robert - this is my overview: if you have a computer, you ought to have a backup; if you have a laptop, you must have a backup. In (my) early days of Mac (1990...), in a Corporation, we had a Retrospect network backup system for our desktop Macs that ran every lunchtime. I also had a massive ('why do you need such a big one') 128 Mb magneto-optical drive which I used for my own backups. Since I started travelling with a laptop (1997, the Powerbook 3400c), then a Ti-500, now an Al-125, I have my own backup system(s). Always using Retrospect. I currently use Retrospect Express 5, working through the FW400 port. Absolutely no problems at all. I have created (easy) scripts that run all the backup tasks. I have a 120 Gb 7200 rpm external LaCie HD at home, that runs an incremental backup every night. I have a 100 Gb 4500 rpm 2.5" Toshiba drive in an external Mombay case in my office, that runs an incremental backup every morning. I also backup my key files to another partition on my internal HD every morning and night. I have two other Toshiba 2.5" drives, that I use in the Mombay, for copies of my iPhoto and iTunes folders, which are quite large now. I update the backup copies from time to time. From time to time I burn a CD or more often a DVD of my key files, and email archives. Last time I was in Geneva, I tried to buy a large (250 Gb) LaCie FW800 external disk for backup, but there were none available.... (all sold out). These kinds of disks/interface do not seem to be on the market at all here in Saudi Arabia. USB only. With the amount of data I now have, the faster FW800 interface will help when I have to recycle (make a new) backup, which I have to do when the disk is full up. With a bigger HD, I can also keep the previous backup. hth regards, Trevor From alan at alanthompson.net Wed Apr 6 08:08:38 2005 From: alan at alanthompson.net (Alan Thompson) Date: Wed Apr 6 08:09:01 2005 Subject: [Ti] Please describe how you do backups?

Your backup solution depends upon how much data you're willing to lose when your equipment fails or gets lost/stolen: 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, etc. If your stuff is at all of any value, use a professional backup program (Retrospect is popular, Tri-Backup is equivalent and saves files in Finder format. I think there are a couple of others also). They are pretty cheap ($50 or so) and give you lots of flexibility for a variety of backups. You will want to back up different kinds of data on different schedules. The cloning backups are nice and simple, but you get no history of your files if you want to go back 3 weeks and recover something you accidentally deleted but didn't realize so until last night. You will want to create a bootable backup of OS X to recover from problematic system updates. You only need to do that occasionally unless you add applications every day. You will want to do frequent incremental backups of your home directory and keep about 3-6 months worth of backups if you create new documents/mp3/photos each day or two. That can be done without using too much disk space if you filter out backups of cache files and disk images. If you don't empty the trash until after the periodic incremental backup, you have a nice "undelete" capability. Firewire disk is best because of effective cost and speed. If you have vast quantities of video and image data, tape will be necessary You will want to create DVD backups of your important documents/music/photos and put them in a safe deposit box or other safe off-site place to prevent loss from a catastrophic disaster or loss of your system AND backup disk (backup disks can be accidentally erased too). Once every month or two should be good for most people who are very careful with their backup disks. There are some who have much more stringent backup needs (i.e. if your business' operation or existence depended upon your data), but the above strategy should be a pretty good tradeoff of effort vs. safety for most home users. -- Dennis Fazio dfz@mac.com From chris.olson at astcomm.net Wed Apr 6 16:52:35 2005 From: chris.olson at astcomm.net (Chris Olson) Date: Wed Apr 6 16:52:51 2005 Subject: [Ti] Please describe how you do backups?

I use rsyncX, back up to the network server: * my entire home dir (/Users/chris) * /Applications/ * /Library/WebServer/Documents/ (because I do web development and have files there) * /Library/StartupItems/ (because I have some special startup scripts installed there) * /etc/ (because I have my system highly tweaked) * /usr/local/ (because I run MySQL and some other Unix software that's installed there) * /opt/ (which your system won't have unless you have Darwin Ports installed) * /sw/ (which your system won't have unless you have Fink installed) The rest of the system is easily replaced or restored, so it's not worth worrying about, IMHO. -- Chris From lists at tntluoma.com Wed Apr 6 22:23:15 2005 From: lists at tntluoma.com (Timothy Luoma) Date: Wed Apr 6 22:27:01 2005 Subject: [Ti] Re: Please describe how you do backups?

I also took the opportunity to take out a few niggling imperfections on the mold, the last few showed them up, and once i knew they were there I couldn't sleep right till they weren't. i'll then be taking credit cards directly, and will price them at 225 shipped anywhere, 195 to list members. still too much? a cheap alternative: There are several sleeves that work to protect from scratches and vibration, but not much else. I have tried about a dozen, most from out of the country, and grudgingly settled on one from japan, made by COMSTYLE(~30 bucks). i believe it's similar to the now available in USA zeroshock(i have a smaller zeroshock i use for PS and cables). one of these coupled with thin and very stiff "trauma plates" (i've used aluminum, carbon and titanium) has protected mine for over a year of worldwide traveling and daily skateboarding and other rough bangs reasonably well. not as good as my carbon hardshells, but the comstyle case uses .25" (vs .5" on mine) per side of similar damped foam, which is what does the protecting. the hard outer case or trauma plate just distributes a point impact over as much foam area as possible. in everyday use, i've twice dented my 1mm aluminum rear trauma plate. whatever did that would've just wrecked my poor book. you can use 3m spray adhesive to glue the trauma plate to the foam case, for a working solution at about fifty bucks, but that's ug-lee. For the record, I only used this trauma plate setup in a very tough oakley backpack, which has it's own padding against the wearer's back, and i had a trauma plate per side, and was genuinely careful. I didn't spend almost a year developing this case design for nothing. i have 4 friends who've destroyed their laptops (one was a toughbook too) in just everyday transporting to and fro work or the machine room. i can't afford to loose my tibook, and wanted some peace of mind everyday, so i had to make them. they really work well, and ok, i'm done plugging. my website has the info. suffice to say that the thin damped foam sleeves can be made to work well if you're careful! stay away from non damped foam as the foam doesn't absorb any of the shock, and transmits all of it and the vibration it sees into your precious lappy. -Jason Economou Carbotron Composites kradcarbon.com On Apr 5, 2005, at 8:19 PM, Matt Covey wrote: Right on the heels of the 17" recommendations I'd like to ask about a sleeve for the 15" (Al).

Well, the problem is that the Sennheisers are high impedance headphones, so you'll need to turn up the volume a lot, and consequently wear down the batteries faster. Also, the 595s are 'open-air' headphones so they won't have much isolation. But, the 280s are closed, and they are well regarded. One place to buy and research is: http://www.headphone.com, or a great forum is http://www.head-fi.org. The best sounding direct from an iPod or portable are the Grados, the SR60 can be found for $60-70 bucks. But, they are also 'open-air' and they're not nearly as comfortable as the Senns. erik g Actually the best are the Etymotic ER-6i s that dealmac recently mentioned (the ER-4 models are the best, but they are in the price range of the HD595s), but, they are in ear phones. They're great for long plane rides, great isolation, and their impedance is specially matched to the iPod (I got a pair for my roommate after he was always using my ER-4Ss).

Earbuds don't work well for me, either, and I also prefer over-the-ear headphones. I decided on Bose Triport headphones; many Apple stores use these in their stores for you to listen to iPods. They're not cheap at $149, but they really do sound great, and work well for both my iPod and my PowerBook (movies or iTunes). I've had them for about 9 months and have been extremely happy with them. Here's a link to them on Bose's site: For full size headphones they're still quite compact, lightweight, and come with a nice carrying bag for some minimal protection. Bose's QuietComfort 2 headphones would be even nicer, with built-in noise canceling, but at $299 they were out of my budget. If you do a lot of flying, however, I'd seriously consider them, as the noise canceling feature is really nice and works very well.

I could be wrong, but I don't think this is the case for the HD-280s. I bought mine a while back on the advice of people I consider knowlegeable, & they said the 280s were better than most in that department. I was primarily comparing them to Sony 7506s at the time. That said, the HD-280s have been super headphones, very comfortable & great sounding to my "semi-pro" ears (a lot of video production & editing). Mine have traveled with me extensively & have never needed any of the readily available replacement parts, but I'm glad they're there. I don't feel like they are disposable if you know what I mean.

Tim - since More Info activates the Apple System Profiler, it is probably this link that is broken. Assuming that you have not accidentally deleted ASP, then perhaps some disk repair utility may fix this link ?

If you moved it or the Utilities or Applications folder, that could be the problem. It should be located at /Applications/Utilities/System Profiler. It's also possible that your copy is somehow corrupted - it takes more than something with the right name in the right place for the button to be active. If you can't get yours to work, you might try using an application like TomeViewer to extract it from the 10.3 install disks, or copy it from somebody who has a working copy.

Hope it helps. -- ScreenCleaner Pro 1.0.0 Over time, your LCD or CRT monitor will gradually fade in brightness and contrast. This fading is inevitable, because the backlights for LCD screens eventually fade, and the photo-reactive substrate on CRT monitors eventually degrades. ScreenCleaner Pro rectifies this situation by altering the gamma of your monitor to compensate for monitor degradation, so it will look as good as new. Don't toss out that old monitor, just run ScreenCleaner Pro on it, and watch your old monitor gain a new life. Simply let ScreenCleaner Pro run in the background, and it will automatically analyze your monitor's gamma curve and relative luminescence. After enough calibration data has been collected, ScreenCleaner Pro will adjust your monitor to like-new condition. The analyzation/calibration process can take up to 10 minutes, but you can work normally while ScreenCleaner Pro is analyzing your monitor; simply let it run in the background. http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/freebies/ -- regards, Gonzalo "La t?l?vision n'est pas le reflet de ceux qui la font, mais de ceux qui la regardent." -Fran?oise Giroud From alan at alanthompson.net Sat Apr 9 13:10:22 2005 From: alan at alanthompson.net (Alan Thompson) Date: Sat Apr 9 13:10:31 2005 Subject: [Ti] Re: Please describe how you do backups?

Ooops! It was never dim to begin with! Yeah, this came out, oh, say about 8 days ago, I believe. ;-) You might try using the Colorsync calibration in the Displays preference pane->Color->Calibrate. It won't make the backlight any brighter, but it might make the screen look a little better, depending on your preferences. There should also be a few pre-set color calibrations already in there that you can compare to.

I suppose I am trying to get my head around when I will get my next significant speed boost versus my (18 month old) Al-book. I know of nothing (chip-wise) round the corner.... Where can "more speed" come from ? Is there are any likelihood of a faster bus in these laptops if the chip is only evolving slowly, if that will help us, speed-wise ? My next step may be a 7200 rpm hard disk, and a RAM increase from 1Gb to 1.5Gb.

There's already dual-core G4 processors, and dual-core G5's are under development. The Power4 and Power5 have been dual-core for quite some time. I'd say the Power architecture is considerably more advanced than x86. In fact, vastly more advanced than x86. x86 just has lots of marketing hoopla. -- Chris From rob.morris at earthlink.net Sun Apr 10 10:31:45 2005 From: rob.morris at earthlink.net (rob morris) Date: Sun Apr 10 10:31:53 2005 Subject: [Ti] [OT] multi-core chips / more speed In-Reply-To: <604ecba82cff6717c5e66a61636396ad@astcomm.net> Message-ID: > From: Chris Olson > Subject: Re: [Ti] [OT] multi-core chips / more speed > > On Apr 10, 2005, at 9:26 AM, Dr. Trevor J.

There are developments in the works for the dual core G5s that Apple is looking at for the iMac, G5 towers, etc that has been mentioned in various trade publications. The G4 dual core is the most likely candidate for the PowerBooks as the G5 dual cores do increase heat even more and is a workaround they are working on. With the iBooks, powerbooks still utilizing G4 processors, they are the most likely candidate for the dual core G4 Freescale chips that were announced last year. The x86 is mostly hype and a bit behind the curve so to speak.

Bill Reburn was somewhat right in his comment that 1600x1200 @ 75 Hz is the max; that's the highest resolution that your computer can do at millions of colors with the internal LCD still on. The video card can go up to at least 1920x1440 at 75 Hz; millions of colors with the internal LCD off, or thousands with the internal LCD on.

I really have to disagree with the "all hype" AMD has really brought affordable power to the desktop with the hammer(a64) and before that the athlonxp. currently, if anyone should be accused of hype it's apple with the under achieving G5s. basically taking the performance per clock away so clock speeds can go up, the marketing guys must be happy. Intel has just stopped doing this, with their pentium M and they were really the hype-pushers. the biggest problem with the PC world is that they've somehow gotten stuck with the lousy X86 architecture. blame it on microsoft, intel, IBM, or whoever you want, it still is the weak link in pc land. amazing what can be done despite a lousy architecture! although apple uses the power architecture proudly and makes a big fuss of it, IBM has been doing incredible things with it, on all scales. anyway, in userland, where real world speed is necessary, just my personal experience: i do most of my real work (maya, CAD, etc) on my pcs, which are actually just AthlonXps. stacked up against top of the line G5s vs a nearly two year old $700(then) slightly overclocked 2.5ghz single athlonxp machine, tested four months ago, the athlon is still consistently on par even with a quarter the ram(1gb vs 4) and only one processor vs 2. nothing else i use is available for OSX, but they are seriously processor intensive, and maya raytracing and shaders being quite processor intensive itself has proven to be a good barometer of real world computing power for me. a 1ghz g4 is ~3.5 times slower. my 800 tibook is about 5 times slower, so i don't even bother. results are similar on scenes that uses 80mb or ram or 900(pretty hard to use this much ram in my scenes). my father built a current budget 64bit hammer system for the express purpose of FEA. his machine is a good 35% faster than my main box, and here's the killer, it's that much faster running linux, using all the windows apps(my maya) in a VMware winXP! that machine was only about 800 bucks last month, and i don't think he'll ever use enough openGL to max out the 6600GT. I dont' think i really need to compare a laptop with this kind of power vs any powerbook. and they're out there. even a decent pentium M laptop can outmuscle the fastest powerbook. but osx is so much nicer and easier to work with than anything readily available for the x86 architecture that the raw available computing difference isn't apparent until you really start to crunch it, and by that time, you're already in love with your mac. i know i am. they're just "nicer" machines, and osx seals the deal. i use my mac all the time. i wish i could use osx on my pcs. all non-power work(like spreadsheets, business docs etc.) i do is done on the much more reliable and enjoyable tibook. so if you can stand it when you want real computing power, a current dual hammer(proccessor or soon, core) setup can rock hard the g5s, and for much much less power(watts) and dollars. x8664 isn't behind the curve, their curve is in a different graph, in terms of power, ahead. makes sense really, the hammer is just an x86ified evolution of one of the best processors of all time, and still one of the fastest : the alpha. yes, so good, they end up making more every time they announce canceling production. DEC really made the best processor way back in 88. nobody really wants to admit it, but DEC was always two steps ahead of everyone. it's a shame the last and best, alpha EV8 never saw production, and x86 goes on. yuk. but i guess it works. btw, i'm typing this from my mac with the big HKS on it, and my main power pc has two old "power computing" stickers on it, right by the mopar, vortech, perma-cool and EBC ones. so confusing this allegiance thing... -Jason Economou Carbotron Composites kradcarbon.com From jelyon at mac.com Mon Apr 11 08:04:09 2005 From: jelyon at mac.com (John Lyon) Date: Mon Apr 11 08:04:19 2005 Subject: [Ti] Re: multi-core chips / more speed In-Reply-To: Message-ID: [This is not a flame.] Perceived or measured differences in clock speeds is all well and good, but there are some of us who don't hang on every tick of the processor's internal machinations.

All the stuff is just cram-packed into a smaller casing. That's about the biggest difference between the 15" and the 12". The techies just have to keep better track of what goes where. The 15" has more breathing room and is more spacious inside. So it doesn't look as cram-packed as a 12" There are various guides to opening up the 12" and the 15". If you feel you are competent in opening up the PB, then the size wouldn't matter. But if you don't imagine yourself opening up the PB on a regular basis then don't sweat it. I'd base my buying decision on something else besides being more difficult to repair.

No. Actually, at least to some extent, Safari and Mail *will* be sped up with multiple processors. First of all, even applications that can only use a single CPU will speed up because they don't have to compete as much with with the OS overhead or other applications that are running at the same time. Anyway, you can get a little bit of an idea of which applications might be more affected by dual processors by looking in Activity Monitor at the list of processes. Anything with more than 1 thread *might* be sped up. Each thread is a semi-independent set of instructions in the application. Of course, there is almost always some level of communication between threads, and how tightly the threads are coupled varies. On top of needing more than one thread to really take advantage of extra processors, you need to make sure that these threads actually have work to do at the same time! This is a lot harder to determine. However, at the moment, Mail has 9 threads, and Safari has 6 on my computer. Yours may be different depending on what they are currently doing, and what they have been doing. I don't know what any of those threads do, but if at least two of them need to do work at the same time, you'll get some amount of benefit. As mentioned though, most CPU-intensive applications will benefit the most. If you talk to somebody who has a dual-CPU machine, you'd get a better perspective than mine, I imagine: I'm working purely on theory here. If anybody wants to contribute towards my upcoming purchase of a dual G5, I'll report back to them when I get it. ;-) From jpfreeman at mac.com Tue Apr 12 17:36:42 2005 From: jpfreeman at mac.com (Jim Freeman) Date: Tue Apr 12 18:14:48 2005 Subject: [Ti] Tiger, tiger, burning bright?

Ask him - should've included his E-mail address in the last post, it's lord.flipper@gmail.com. Hmmm, what a coincidence... I'm looking to sell my PowerBook in a few months. ;-) No Titaniums came with 128 MB VRAM. The prior model 1.5 GHz (from 2004) and current 1.67 GHz 15-inch PowerBooks and prior model 17-inch have 128 MB VRAM as a configure-to-order option only. The current 17-inch model is the only one with 128 MB VRAM standard. That said, I'm not sure you need 128 MB for most things; I have a 1 GHz 17" PowerBook G4 with 64 MB of VRAM which I use with dual displays most of the time. I don't bother unplugging the second display when I play games, because I just don't notice a big difference by doing so. The Bare Feats URL below essentially confirms that, unless you really need the extra 2 or 3 fps in an intensive 3D game, you don't need the extra VRAM. http://www.barefeats.com/pb12.html On Apr 12, 2005, at 9:42 PM, Kynan Shook wrote: > This message isn't from me, but rather our dear friend ~flipper who is > currently having problems posting.

The Mach kernel does the thread scheduling for the cpu(s). Mach does a very good job at SMP - it was designed for it. Both Carbon and Cocoa applications can be multithreaded but Carbon will use Multiprocessing Services (as in Mac OS 9). Cocoa uses the NSThread class with NSThread's detachNewThreadSelector:toTarget:withObject Some applications like Safari will throttle the threads if one requires the other to be at a certain point before continuing by using condition locks (NSConditionLock). But if an app uses a lot of condition locks or passes many objects and messages between threads, application performance can suffer. Safari, by design, does not benefit from dual processors. Neither does Mail, Sherlock, iCal, Finder, and most other every day applications and utilities. Only cpu-intensive tasks and applications really take full advantage of it. Because of OS X's pre-emptive multithreading capability, along with the Mach kernel's capability to schedule and switch threads many times per second on one cpu, you just don't notice the difference until the total system load on one cpu reaches 100% cpu time. -- Chris From phadams at mac.com Wed Apr 13 00:21:49 2005 From: phadams at mac.com (P.

It is in my opinion expensive, borderline broadband (500 to 800 kb/s download and no more than 200-300 kb/s upload) and the connection is sometimes a bit flakey, but certainly a relief from dialup. There are no alternative broadband providers in my area, but when and if DSL, cable or wireless come into my community I am out of satellite before you can say ?FAP.? Oh, yes I forgot to mention FAP. It stand for Fair Access Policy and what it means is that you are allocated a certain quota of MB that you can down/up load. My space is 500 MB a day (which comes with the Small Office package). After I exceed that, my speed gets suddenly cut down to dialup speed. It is the analogy of a bucket. As you take water out of the bucket, a bit of water trickles in. If you take water out much faster then it is going in, you hit the bottom and you can only work with the speed at which the water trickles in. The best thing I can do when this happens is shut down and wait until the next day when my bucket is full again. With the Professional Packages comes a Static IP and ?enhanced Upload? which means the upload speed is at least bearable. And you get the larger bucket plus a larger sized dish and connection to one of the more reliable satellite transponders (I am on the 1390 Mhz transponder on the Horizons 1 Satellite). I am sure there are other Satellites for use with Internet connection. The Tacheons which up to now have been used solely by the Defence Department and other Government communications needs have been released for public use and soon the Anik F2 will be used for Satellite communications (Wildblue in the U.S. and Bell Canada).

One chapter: With DirecWay, you have to keep paying your monthly fee even if you don't have service. This keeps your account active because they will not repair accounts that are inactive. Then you have to *apply* for a refund. Since my service was out for over a month, such a refund had to be approved by Somebody Else (not the ingoranus I was talking to in billing). I have about 30 more chapters, including the FCC and the BBB, missed appointments, etc. [sigh] But I have no choice. Although I get at least 10 mail and phone solicitations per month from Verizon DSL, they won't upgrade the phone lines and I can't really get it. That hasn't stopped them from annoying me. Bottom line: if you have an alternative, use it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The downlink from the satellite works through proxy programs, one on the ISP's side, and one on the receiving computer. This last one is only available for Windows. I have dedicated a simple Windows box on my LAN for this purpose that in turn serves as a proxy server providing web access to all Mac OS, Linux and Windows boxen on the LAN. Works, but I'd rather have DSL. HTH!

To John, Arnie, and Dr. Trevor, Thanks a million. I assumed they all could be upgraded. My old 667 Titanium almost got upgrases at one point. So i was a bit shocked at the wording at Other World. I clicked on the G4 powerbook 1.33 selector, and saw "models that have a CD+/-R/W + DVD Rom and other 'super' drives can be upgraded...." The DVD Rom (sic) sounded like the Combo, but the use of the word 'and', threw me. I'm going to call a 'mulligan' on account of a particularly grueling day of SGML work without visual 'validation'... my brain hurts. ~flipper From phadams at mac.com Fri Apr 15 01:31:19 2005 From: phadams at mac.com (Default) Date: Fri Apr 15 01:30:31 2005 Subject: [Ti] Tiger, tiger, burning bright?

I believe the accepted wisdom [no quotes, just accumulated memory from reading many posts] is that if SMART does not say your HD is about to fail then your HD may or may not fail, but if SMART does say your HD is about to fail then it will. As the saying goes, run don't walk to get another HD and transfer all your data to it, but then your backup is current so that may not be relevant. As a side issue, you refer to your powerbook as 1.67 mhz. I did not know Titaniums had that processor level. Have you had a processor upgrade in your Ti? If so, how did it perform? Was it hard to do? Did you do it yourself? I may be interested in such an upgrade, if possible. I have a Ti 867. ........

It reports what the drive's S.M.A.R.T. monitoring system tells it. Have you tried rebooting the machine? S.M.A.R.T. status is recorded at boot time or drive spinup after being asleep. It's not monitored during normal operation because part of the test is to measure spinup time of the drive's platter. Reboot and see what it says. -- Chris From lord.flipper at gmail.com Mon Apr 18 04:43:49 2005 From: lord.flipper at gmail.com (~flipper) Date: Mon Apr 18 04:43:39 2005 Subject: [Ti] SmartReporter says my drive my fail soon?

Each incarnation has brought a smile and a hope that recognition that this is probably the best yet. Absolutely that applied to the Ti 667 DVI. However, the new trackpad just plain sucks. The keyboard is a real improvement. However, the trackpad is a stumbling, step backwards. Why is this? And why can't it be fixed? I think we AI user's should rally up in protest. It is so bad that it continually erodes any flow when I have to stop, tap, fix the damn pixel jump and this is providing it didn't ignore my original tap on the trackpad with me having to really tap it to recognize. GRRRR I was hoping the recent release of 10.3.9 would address this as it mentions trackpads as one of the upgrade areas. If there is an improvement then there is still much work to do. After the accurate, sensitve trackpad on my Ti667, this damn thing is a major drawback. And quite frankly am pissed at it. Sure hope Tiger offers a solution. Other than this SERIOUS drawback this is one fine powerbook. Hopefully your mileage is much better.

The first involves extracting files from the Java 1.4.2 Update 2 package and using them to replace. Instructions for this tedious procedure can be found in Saturday's coverage of Mac OS X 10.3.9. The far simpler, and equally effective (in most cases) workaround involves re-applying Security Update 2005-002, which made several significant changes to critical Mac OS X Java components. This workaround can also resolve issues with some third-party Java applications, particularly some popular file sharing applications. Other crashes on launch -- removing SIMBL plug-ins, clearing caches. As noted on Saturday, another cause for Safari is an apparent flaw in the new version's ability to handle additions to the Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins folder. These include popular shareware utilities like AcidSearch (note that a Mac OS X 10.3.9-compliant version of Acid Search, 1.4, is now available) and Pith Helmet. Removing these items from the above folder (e.g. acidsearch.bundle) will resolve the on-launch crashes in most cases. Also, as previously noted, several readers have noted that clearing system caches with a tool like OnyX or Panther Cache Cleaner can resolve crash-on-launch issues. Select "Delete all caches" or a "deep" cache clean, dependent on which tool is being used. After deleting caches, use Apple's Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) to repair permissions. Slow performance, launches solved by deleting icons folder For most users, Safari 1.3 (included with Mac OS X 10.3.9) provides a noticeable page rendering speed boost. Some users, however, are experiencing slower performance after applying the update. In some cases, performance problems can be solved by deleting Icons folder located at ~/Library/Safari/Icons. Note that this procedure will eliminate any favicons (the small logos that appear in Safari's URL entry field for some Web sites) stored in cache. MacFixIt reader Rick Zerman writes: "Safari would take 30 or so bounces to load (about 45 seconds) and then run exceedingly slow. Running top -u in a terminal window showed that that Safari process would be using up to 135% of the CPU (dual processor Mac) even to load simple web pages. "The solution was to go to /[username]/Library/Safari folder and delete the Icons folder." Using an older version of Safari If no conventional workarounds prove successful for resolving Safari issues introduced with Mac OS X 10.3.9, using an older version of Safari (1.2.4, the most recent release before 1.3) can restore normal operation. Fortunately, Apple is still stocking the 1.2.4 release of Safari on its standard download page. Log in with your Apple ID and password to download the older release. Apple bookmarks put back A minor annoyance associated with the upgrade to Safari 1.3 is the replacement of Apple's default bookmarks that have been deleted by the user. MacFixIt reader TJ Ronningen writes: "The Safari update included an 'update' to my bookmarks. Apple decided I once again needed to have all the bookmarks that they like. This feels like a Microsoft thing to do in the worst sense of the word. Very annoying to weed out the garbage they left behind." > Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2005 15:44:15 +0200 > From: heindebruijne > Subject: [Ti] MacOs 10.3.9 problem? > > A cry from a dutch PB-er: > > Since updating my MacOs yesterday from 10.3.8 to > 10.3.9 > SAFARI STOPS almost instantly after starting up! > > No Onyx, Xupport, disk utility or restart helps! > > Is this a common problem in 10.3.9 ??? > Does somebody know what to do? > > Bij voorbaat dank!

Very good. Part of the S.M.A.R.T. test is drive spinup time. If the drive spun up slow during boot or coming from sleep for some odd reason (machine being moved and head parked or something similar during spinup) it'll inaccurately report a failing drive. S.M.A.R.T. monitoring isn't really done on the fly for all tests. I'd benchmark the drive with Xbench to see if it develops a problem during heavy usage, run the AHT on it, and if it checks OK, not worry about it. That still doesn't mean a person shouldn't keep regular backups. -- Chris From incanus at codesorcery.net Mon Apr 18 11:02:27 2005 From: incanus at codesorcery.net (Justin R.

Here I was thinking it was a deficiency in the new trackpad across the whole AI spectrum. I had read earlier experiences and thought this new trackpad was now the norm. My problem is in the tapping. It jumps a number of pixels away from say a chosen word forcing me to have to realign the cursor. After a perfect experience with the 667 this is counter-intuitive AND counter-productive. Also, whereas the 667 trackpad was more sensitive and never required a second and HARDER tap to get it active. That is the ONLY complaint. The new keyboard is marvelous by comparison. The brighter screen, the ambient keyboard etc. are all fabulous. I guess a call to Apple is in order. Thanks for your input.

I have exactly the same problem with my new 1.67 PowerBook. I love the new two-finger scrolling feature, but it's more than offset by the tapping issues and jumping cursor.

However, the poor techs are almost as much in the dark as we are. Even the resetting of the trackpad, by holding the hand over it, instructions are spotty at best. How long do you hold your hand over the trackpad to reset? Do you do this in the finder or can an application being running? Do various trackpad setting effect the cursor jump? (My experience so far suggests - no.) With all the questions I had posed to him his response was the document is a little thin on content when it comes to this trackpad resetting. We laughed at the understatement of that. He suggested they change out the trackpad with a different one. I am reluctant to send in my machine as we don't have a local Apple repair facility. I am going to discuss this with a number of Apple repair techs I know and see what the early consensus is. This jumpy, twitchy, inaccurate trackpad/cursor is a major input pain but is still manageable in the short term. It jumps and interrupts the flow when you are constantly having to re-adjust the cursor after trackpadding but taken in context is not the end of the world. Aside from this fixable flaw, this new machine is wonderful. Great screen, spectacular keyboard (major improvement from my earlier Ti667 DVI) case design etc. It is ALL good with the exception of the trackpad caveat. All you new AI owners what is your experience with the trackpad? Is it a hardware issue with only some machines or is it an across-the-board software problem isolated to this new AI powerbook release? If it is only some of us then I guess it is hardware and I will have to send it in for a trackpad replacement. Personally, I think it is software related. Also, does this trackpad issue affect the new iBooks? Rod -- _____________________________ Rod Duncan "Buy a Mac and be thought a fool or buy a Windows box and remove all doubt."

Rob - I just got my brand new AlBook (15-inch, 1.67G) yesterday as a replacement for one (last year's model) that was damaged on a recent trip. No erratic trackpad behavior here, knock on wood. I've never been a big fan of trackpads in general, but it is smooth and accurate -- no jumping or inaccuracies. By the way, I'm LOVING the new two-finger scrolling feature! Very intuitive. -patch From rob.morris at earthlink.net Tue Apr 19 14:57:44 2005 From: rob.morris at earthlink.net (rob morris) Date: Tue Apr 19 14:57:56 2005 Subject: [Ti] Problem using Safari in 10.3.9 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: From: "Dr. Trevor J.

Everyone else i know who ran the update had Safari issues but that is it and those were repaired quickly as well. The run many of the same apps you do and even do dialup from time to time as well, but no issues at all. Not sure why you are having such and so many issues. Maybe a total clean install is in order in the near future.

This machine is one week old and was set up and running perfectly when released to the user. While the user was plugged in, and faxing from the phone line, both the electricity and the phone went 'out'. The computer stayed on via battery but the faxing was interrupted. Repeated restarts only produced the spinning ball so naturally I went right after the spooled fax. Once that was removed, I thought it would be fixed but wasn't. We then booted with Disc #1 and Repaired both the HD (said it made a repair) and the Permissions. Reboot, all is well. Then she tries to fax again...and gets the beach ball. I do remember some problem with faxing AppleWorks docs on OS 9, could this be it? She claims she did scores of them previous to that with no trouble. The computer is coming back to me this weekend, any suggestions for where else to look for problems? It has been suggested I run the installer again and 'update', and that will fix any bits that are munged. I just don't want to lose the massive set up job I already did. We have AppleCare. Thnx!

My upgrade [with the combo] went without a hitch on my TiPB 867. However if it's any comfort you are not alone. Macfixit has been running a series of articles on 10.3.9 problems, not all confined to the Safari/Java situation. Apparently there has been quite an array of differing problems. I guess that as is usual in most upgrade cases the great majority of users have not had any problems. I can understand your frustration. The worst upgrade ever? I don't think so but that's only my view. Wasn't there one upgrade somewhere in the 10.2.x series which had to be pulled very soon after release? Hope that you have smooth sailing from here on. .........

Any standard, or managed accounts will not be able to log in after this update is installed. I don't how many of this list will be affected as for the most part, we are all single (Admin) users on our powerbooks. I just thought that I would post it here as some of you (like me) may have kids with managed or standard accounts using your laptop, or a desktop system back at home. Symptoms: 'Standard' or 'Managed' user tries to log in and never gets beyond the first screen with the horizontal spinning Barber Pole. The simple fix, until the apple engineers release a patch, is to turn any 'Standard' or 'Managed' accounts into 'Admin' accounts in System Preferences/Accounts.

What I am saying is that I always apply the updates as soon as they are out, and I can hardly remember having any problem before. I have also noticed, today, a lot of spinning beach ball. Sometimes for so long (eg 15 mkinutes) that I have had to restart. Late last night I was working, and suddenly the whole machine shut down on me, whilst i was in hte middle of typing a sentence.

Hi Trevor, I, too, am sorry to hear you're having difficulties. But, you mention (above) applying updates as soon as they come out.... Why? What's the rush? Let others be the guinea pigs, that's my creed regarding Apple's updates. They once pulled a minor update for iTunes that had a typo in the shell script (after an 'rm' with user-provided root escalation, no less) that proceeded to wipe home directories. 10.2.8 was pulled in something like 8 hours. (Or was it 4?). There are some folks who believe that there isn't 'really' a 10.2.8, that it's just a repatched return to 10.2.7, but the OS is schizophrenic, and so layered, who would ever really know? My point is, for a company that prides itself on "It Just Works", where the devil do they get the courage to look themselves in the face when thousands of folks are having to re-install bits of java, and re-done 'old' security 'updates', just to make the flagship browser work? Whatever became of that old chestnut known as 'burn in'? Well, my friend, i let the others do the burning in, for me, and when the dust settles, and people finish blaming other developers (whose apps were working fine one minute...), and Apple issues a 'security' patch to fix the boo-boo's, then i decide "Is this worth it, really?" Anyways, I'm an advocate of letting others 'experiment' with their systems... i rely on mine too much to play games of chance. Sometimes problems don't surface immediately. I like to wait at least a few weeks. I don't have that 'blind faith' that seems emblematic of the cult of personality that has grown up around Jobs and the 'design' team. Remember it was Amelio who decided to grab NeXTSTEP and beef up the Advanced Computing group, not Jobs. When you see the juggernaut of Unix powering things (in spite of the resource-crazed GUI)...that's Amelio, and the 'real' designers... and when you see strawberry pastel-coloured iPods and 3D icons...that's Jobs and his crew. With all the new billions in iPod sales rushing in there's even less excuse (if there ever was any at all) to be rushing stuff out the door. My advice: let the 'early adopters' and sycophants be the 'test tubes'. ~flipper From Robert at Ameeti.net Fri Apr 22 22:07:47 2005 From: Robert at Ameeti.net (Robert Ameeti) Date: Fri Apr 22 22:08:00 2005 Subject: [Ti] worst update ever?

If yes, then all you need to do is click and drag on the icon until the mouse pointer is away from the dock, then release the mouse. The icon will disappear in a puff of smoke. If you mean the area in the bottom left hand corner of a folder window the do the same except drag the mouse out of the folder window before releasing the button. -- Regards, Mark (}-: +61 (0)4 1927 7198 Skype / AIM / iChat: gibsonm1 Algol was a great improvement on most of its successors. --C.A.R Hoare From hutley at geneva-link.ch Sat Apr 23 02:25:41 2005 From: hutley at geneva-link.ch (Dr. Trevor J.

Thank you so much for your explanations. I think I have had an almost blind faith in Apple, and this led me to install updates straight away. But the operation of my laptop is so critical now, that I think that is the last time that I will install the update as soon as it is out, having been burnt a little by 10.3.9. I will take your advice, and adopt your approach, of lettings others check it out first. I am somewhat disappointed that it has come to the point where I cannot trust Apple enough to get it right first time. If it is not broke, I won't fix it. regards, Trevor From hutley at geneva-link.ch Sat Apr 23 02:30:16 2005 From: hutley at geneva-link.ch (Dr. Trevor J.

Hello John, I also was no longer fascinated with NUD/C 4 and the lack of updates also grinded me on as well. Bugs still lingered and the user interface needed a serious overhaul. The only advantage for NUD/C was that it was one of the first PIMs to come to OS X. There weren't any real feature updates other than OS X compatability. I've been on the watch for a good PIM but the OS X market seems to be seriously lacking. Chronos Personal/Group Organizer hasn't been updated in a long time but it has been a serious contender for me to run against NUD/C 4. OD4Contact has some great contact features that had me excited but it lacked serious calendar features to prevent me from adopting it. It does show a lot of promise. iCal and Address Book are nice for the average user but lacks serious firepower for heavy duty PIM users. Microsoft Entourage was OK but it just didn't "feel right" to me. But I do like the idea of a Project Center. John, are there any other PIMs that you have been using that I may have missed? :-) Wilson - Guam, U.S.A. - - - P L E A S E C U T A L O N G D O T T E D L I N E - - - You can bend my ear We can talk all day Just make sure I'm around When you've finally got something to say. -- TOAD THE WET SPROCKET From hutley at geneva-link.ch Tue Apr 26 06:36:18 2005 From: hutley at geneva-link.ch (Dr. Trevor J.

While no one is doubting that you are having problems, the problems should not be blamed on 10.3.9 as the majority of users are not having problems with this update. Users have problems all the time and it not due to the particular 'update' that they last ran. My hard drive quit on my portable after running the 10.3.9 update but I am not going to say that 10.3.9 caused it. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Robert Ameeti In my day, we didn't have self-esteem, we had self-respect -- and no more of it than we had earned. - Jane Haddam <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> From malcolm_hamilton at cbc.ca Tue Apr 26 13:08:50 2005 From: malcolm_hamilton at cbc.ca (Malcolm Hamilton) Date: Tue Apr 26 13:09:36 2005 Subject: [Ti] best PIM Message-ID: <97909472788270017e98282509b3caaf@cbc.ca> Hi there, I use Personal Organizer, which I like very much (long ago gave up on Now-Up-To-Date). However, there is one feature I would love in a calendar app - - the ability to click in the field of any day (picture each day as a box; there are 30 or so of them in my month-view) and add whatever info I want just like that. I hate having to add info via an 'Activity Window', and then, if I want to change the order of appointments or events, click on each one and change its 'priority'. I'd rather the space act like a field - - I just have to click on it to get there, and then when I'm in there I'd be able to add, subtract, and move events around at will. The fact that this doesn't seem to be a feature on any PIM that I've seen makes me think that this feature would be hard to write into the software design, or... no one else is interested in being able to do it this way. Here's hoping it might happen when Personal Organizer updates for Tiger.

My 1.25 GHz Aluminum Powerbook arrived today. And I would like to move some data from my 667 Ti-Book to the new spot. I'm particularly interested in which files, exactly, govern the Internet prefs. Specifically, my login password...heheh. I completely forgot it. The Ti hooks up automatically, and i'd prefer to import all my settings. last time i needed to know my password (for a networked PC here) verizon gave me a new pass, instead, and I don't want to go that route with these people. Also, what's the simplest way to grab an old home folder? Ethernet direct, a target boot, or should I dump things to an 800 firewire drive and set the new Mac to "Ignore Ownership" on the drive? Or should I boot the new Mac in Target disk mode, and boot the Ti in OS 9 and just 'make it so' I suppose i have a lot of questions. I have about 200 gigabytes of music, spread here and there across a few drives. (there're all hooked up to the Ti-Book, now.) Can I grab the same file from my iTunes Library that has the data for all the tracks, or is all that modified stuff part of the original tracks' meta data, now? Anyways, what an elegant machine.

Trevor As you know, the internet controls there in Saudi Arabia are set to limit site access and probably contribute to this problem for you. As in China, where content controls keep pace with the rapid internet growth, they are very sophisticated and can filter very carefully, but then again even Google's Chinese news service just leaves sites out of searches so there are no dead links. Keywords are generally the main thing used to filter content at both the backbone level as well as with ISPs and even where you work there. Your QT issues and others are more than likely related to how Saudi Arabia limits access and sites as all traffic there flows through a central agency and is monitored. Things are blocked but sites not able to be accessed there in SA tend to give the user a message stating sites are blocked but not always. China on the other hand is more sophisticated than this and you do not get the blocked messages often if at all. Other countries like SA are learning from the Chinese and filters and techniques are being added daily to their main backbone, etc. The fact that these controls are also multilayered as in China, but not as good, tends to be the reason why iChat might work for someone else there, but not for you at work at the school for example. Just a few cents on this...

There is not definitely any link betwen my experience and the 10.3.9 update. It could be just coincidence. I am reporting it, in case any pattern emerges amongst users,as an update could cause these kinds of problems. I think that is one of the purposes of a user List like this. If I am the only person with the problem, it is unlikely to be related to the update that I just ran. This is my conclusion, in fact, based on the input so far.

One big complaint: When filling in information, Apple searched my .Mac account and asked me to re-enter some information. When I did so I noticed that there was a checkbox that said: ?automatically renew my membership every year? and the default had this box checked to enable. Sorry, but in my mind that it pretty close to being fraudulent! The default should be to _NOT_ enable. If the member wants to enable yearly renewal, he/she should physically have to click on this box and submit the form. I believe this is called negative billing and is considered illegal in Canada (and most other countries, I would guess). jg From simplymail at ururk.com Wed Apr 27 15:17:55 2005 From: simplymail at ururk.com (John) Date: Wed Apr 27 15:18:24 2005 Subject: [Ti] VGA Question...

As such, it's time for me to sell my PowerBook. The basic specs: 1 GHz G4 with 256k L2 cache and 1 MB L3 cache 1 GB RAM (512 from Apple, 512 from Crucial) 60 GB Hard Drive 2x DVD-RW SuperDrive GeForce 4 MX video card with 64 MB of Video RAM. Bluetooth and Airport Extreme In good condition Lots more, like Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, DVI and S-Video out, 56k Modem, backlit keyboard, etc. Best of all: it's still covered by AppleCare, and has almost a year of coverage left. Guaranteed to work when you get it. If you're interested, let me know. It'll go to the first person that offers $1775, or to whoever gives me the best offer. Shipping will be whatever the actual shipping cost is - looking at FedEx, it looks like it would be roughly $20 or so for US Ground delivery, or $25 for UPS Ground. Send any questions, comments, or offers to me at kshook@cae.wisc.edu.

Unless you are using a different hack than this: http://superdrive.cynikal.net/#q15 If you haven't hacked the drive, then it's only a 1X DVD-R drive. If you have, you may consider re-flashing the drive back to Apple's original firmware or at least make it clear to the buyer that you have. If they send it for repair for a drive-related issue, Apple may refuse the repair. Just a suggestion, I'm **pretty sure** that Apple didn't sell an interim 1 GHz model that had the 2X DVD-R drive.

Yeah, video is completely different. I have 3 different colour spaces between my 20" LCD, 19" CRT and Ti display. Of all, for print work, the CRT kills them all. I prefer to work on the LCD, so easy on the eyes.. But Whites just aren't White enough and LCD's because of their liquid crystal cell-based technology choke on small print and certain elements when not zoomed in closely enough. > Anyways, I'm looking to the "future" and plan to get a 15" Al when the > next school season comes along.

Sorry I didn't make that more clear. FWIW, I used to work at an Apple Authorized Service Provider; we didn't care if a drive had been upgraded to a different firmware revision. All that matters is that it's the original hardware from Apple. And if the buyer has issues with it being upgraded for some reason, I still have connections that can take care of things... As long as I'm discussing EVERY tiny little flaw; there are a couple tiny scratches or spots on the case. Nothing big (I take VERY good care of my computers), but I can provide photos if anybody is anal about that sort of thing. Also, there is a single blue stuck pixel on the very far left side of the screen, and a group of pixels about a half inch from the very far right side of the screen that isn't quite as bright as the surrounding pixels. There are enough bad pixels that the display could be replaced, if the buyer wants - and I'm willing to take care of the added hassle of having it replaced, with the understanding that the replacement could take a few extra weeks, and the display might then have stuck pixels within Apple's limits. I never notice these imperfections during normal use (including watching movies), and I don't think most people would, so I haven't gone to the trouble so far - and I'm generally pretty anal about that sort of thing. I'll take photos if anybody wants 'em. Make an offer - I haven't had any grabs at my original price, so it'll go to whoever lets me know their interest in the next few days.

They should, since I can run my 22" Cinema Display (1600x1024) from my 800MHz TiBook, I'm pretty sure they can at least run the HD (23") Cinema Display (1920x1200), since mine only has 32MB VRAM. According to Apple the newer 15", "support up to 1024 x 768 pixels on the built-in display and up to 2048 x 1536 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors". So, you should be set, even a 22" CRT can't go much higher than that. erik g From ron00000 at yahoo.com Thu Apr 28 16:34:45 2005 From: ron00000 at yahoo.com (Ron nie) Date: Thu Apr 28 16:34:49 2005 Subject: [Ti] uninstall software In-Reply-To: 6667 Message-ID: <20050428233445.60937.qmail@web40425.mail.yahoo.com> hi. can anyone tell me how do i uninstall the software that I don't want? thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sweet! Now I just have to wait for the display get down that low $$$. I know the Al can run a 20" Apple, so that's not too much of a worry - I was mainly concerned about my current 550. Poor thing is still kicking around, but since I've been spoiled at work by a Dual 2 Ghz G5, it feels v e r y slow.

Using Xfile to copy over 'invisibles' and a bit of other stuff, and was amazed that things like Office X, and other heavier-duty suites, loaded right up, no re-authorization at all.

I don't mind Panther nearly as much as i thought I would. But the hardware is really cool. Doubling the CPU peed has a much more dramatic effect than quadrupling the VRAM. Too bad. Although the 64MB is smoother than the 16MB in the 667, I see that the visualizer in iTunes is still pretty lame. It was a much higher frame rate, to my eyes, about three or four 'upgrades' (of iTunes) ago. Oh well. I haven't hooked up my LaCie 22" CRT to the Aluminum yet. But even with spanned desktops, the old Ti-Book supported 1600 x 1200 at millions of colors at 85hz. Not too shabby. It'll be interesting to see what's happening with the new one. the 'hz' factor makes a huge difference in terms of ease on the eyes.

Many now come with an un-install package, that does that job for you. Search for "un" AND "install" and see what you find. Sometimes you simply have to search for all the files associated with that application by name or by creator (as the name may be obscure), and then manually delete them,. That is what I had to do, to make my Powerbook Norton-free (a few years ago). Trevor From hutley at geneva-link.ch Fri Apr 29 01:24:35 2005 From: hutley at geneva-link.ch (Dr. Trevor J.

I had to do some batch changes of 'group' IDs. They were 'admin' on the Ti, and became 'unknown' on the Aluminum. I used a nice little NeXTSTEP utility to deal with it, and evrything's working just great. brian s From lord.flipper at gmail.com Fri Apr 29 22:03:01 2005 From: lord.flipper at gmail.com (~flipper) Date: Fri Apr 29 22:03:06 2005 Subject: [Ti] How To Move My Acc't to the new Powerbook?

All is well. I installed Tiger tonight. All my apps were already moved over, via firewire. I have Migration Assitant now... heheh. A bit late, but it's of no consequence. The Powerbook was used, for perhaps a week. It was very clean, perfect, really, but I always use a separate partition for the 'swap' file, and keep a small system on a very smll partition for troubleshooting, just in case. So, a clean erase and partitioning wa 'part of the deal', from the beginning. brian s From ddelmonte at mac.com Sat Apr 30 05:56:44 2005 From: ddelmonte at mac.com (David DelMonte) Date: Sat Apr 30 05:56:51 2005 Subject: [Ti] Tiger and Stuffit Message-ID: <1C652559-126F-479C-BD3B-388AF472859F@mac.com> Stuffit doesn't seem to work with 10.4.

I have a PowerBook 180 that I recently restored to add to my collection, and am looking for a copy of Word 5.1 for it. It's running MacOS System 7.1. Its huge 80 MB hard disk is named "The Abyss" http://astcomm.net/~chris/PowerBook180/PB180_2.jpg It had a copy of Word 5.1a on it, but I lost it when I restored the operating system. -- Chris From ncicchek at optonline.net Sat Apr 30 19:33:52 2005 From: ncicchek at optonline.net (John McGibney) Date: Sat Apr 30 19:33:55 2005 Subject: [Ti] Spotlight problem In-Reply-To: <4BBAF54B-6B09-4DE2-BCD4-855FC4DE9BEC@mac.com> References: <4BBAF54B-6B09-4DE2-BCD4-855FC4DE9BEC@mac.com> Message-ID: Did you give spotlight time to index the hard drive?

Given that, how would one streamline things? Run each sheet through the printer, consecutively? There goes triple the effective cost (in terms of 'time', i.e., salaries) of the same procedure done 'the old way'. I would think that switching to pdf formats with 'fields' or 'forms' would make more sense. Do it all electronically then let each doc get printed the fastest way possible. "Fields' can be linked in any number of ways, so 'layout' wouldn't be an issue. But there almost has to be some other situation on the user end that precludes more 'obvious' ideas to those of us not in possession of the unique 'facts' of the matter. brian s From zachs at swedenmail.com Sat Apr 30 23:56:30 2005 From: zachs at swedenmail.com (Lisbeth Zachs) Date: Sat Apr 30 23:56:33 2005 Subject: [Ti] (OT) Printing enigma In-Reply-To: References: <072D45DE.157B9D70.36485B98@netscape.net> Message-ID: <13d57a15cf087dbefca1814a4e44d3df@swedenmail.com> >> 30 apr 2005 kl. 19.29 skrev J Langlois: >>> We must use 3 layer NCR paper to process our purchase orders (no >>> chance of changing that method.) 1 maj 2005 kl. 04.41 skrev ~flipper: > There are any number of reasons for multiple sheets, without > 'carbons'. first off is different colored sheets to go to different > places... say, one to the client, one to shipping, one to accounting, > and, more importantly, the three sheets might only have small sections > of text 'boxes' in common, and the rest of each sheet is totally > different in terms of content Using one sheet, and hitting "3" on the > copier/printer, just wouldn't cut it. ---------- John Langlois may be frustrated by me pursuing the subject in the wrong direction. Sorry. :-) I'm well aware of different kind of copies. We had that solved already in the middle seventies, when I at a shipping company produced Bill of Loading in up to 24 copies where some of the copies only had "Sender and Reciever" visable and others absolutely all information about the cargo and all the versions in between. With todays computer power you will only need to add the information in a FileMaker Pro register or even AppleWorks then order three different layouts to be printed on a set of same or different coulored papers. In FMPro you can have the printing automated so it goes from one layout to another automatically and since todays printers is so much faster than John's ImageWriter I'm positive the total time will be the same or even shorter. Not to mention how much better the quality of the printing. I hope this kind of information will give John a chance to point out for the decisions makers that, as I said previously, they need to move to this centuary.
