I tried and can't find one. Murray - I had one for my "original" Ti-500 [that was stolen in 2003 in Heathrow Airport]. It was $40. My Mail archive/Address Book shows it came from: Cyber3 31129 Via Colinas #703 Westlake Village, CA 91362 Tel: 818-706-8545 Fax: 818-706-8544 www.cyber3.com They were very kind and shipped it to a hotel I was staying at in Dallas, TX in May 2001. It was a great product, for two reasons: - it made it so easy to slip in and out of a document/briefcase; and - it served to keep the Ti off the desktop, improved the cooling and kept the fan off. As far as I know, this product is no longer available. The website seems to be in different hands. Did not try the phone number...... regards, Trevor From dan.auerbach at gmail.com Thu Feb 1 05:23:41 2007 From: dan.auerbach at gmail.com (Dan Auerbach) Date: Thu Feb 1 05:23:53 2007 Subject: [Ti] Tote n Tilt handles for PowerBooks?

The included screws to fasten the handle were too long and punched out my aluminum frame. I forwarded pictures and the defective screws to the owner of the company who seemed to have cared less.

I just bought a PowerBook G4 Titanium 400Mhz, 384MB RAM, 10GB HD, DVD-ROM running Tiger. It was to replace my PowerBook G3 Lombard 400Mhz, 512MB, 20GB HD, DVD-RW running Tiger and wireless.

I recommend you upgrade your RAM as much as you can, at least to 768, to obtain the best from Tiger on a TiPB. And your 10 gb HD will be barely enough just to run Tiger. I have a TiPB 867 with 1 gb RAM. I bought it new Jan 2003, just before the Al books were introduced at MWSF. It has never given me the slightest problem. Anyway, just my 20c.

Here's a link to the page that you pair up your computer with a compatible Superdrive: You can also go to MacResQ and see what they have for you, as well as the cost to install it.

Though if you hook up one of the Xbox drives it is recognized by the current systems. The problem is a software player. So far the MPAA only trust the Windowz software, even though it was just hacked. And only rumors about the 'DVD' Player; it is hoped that Apple is media independent even though it is on the Blu-Ray group, and Toast does let you burn BR-ROMs. -- erik g gaderson@gmail.com From TrevorHutley at consultant.com Thu Feb 15 11:18:51 2007 From: TrevorHutley at consultant.com (Dr. Trevor J.

Murray - not at the moment. Maybe not at all. Current 4.7Gb DVD use red laser light, the HD and Blue-Ray DVD use a blue (shorter wavelength, smaller spot size, more data per unit area) laser light, so the current DVD drives will not read the newer high- capacity disks. From what I know, Apple is supporting the alternative Blue-Ray DVD format, so I am expecting that a Mac will soon be available with a [Pioneer?] Blue-Ray DVD drive. They are backward compatible with current DVD. Blue-Ray disks have higher (25 Gb) capacity than HD (15 Gb ) disks, and with data storage demand going exponential, I am sure Blue-ray is the way to go..... regards, Trevor From andre at truter.za.net Fri Feb 16 08:20:12 2007 From: andre at truter.za.net (Andre Truter) Date: Fri Feb 16 08:21:31 2007 Subject: [Ti] Problems installing Tiger on Powerbook G4 Message-ID: <45D5D9BC.9030207@truter.za.net> I have an old Powerbook G4 (550 MHz, 512 MB Ram) which I bought second hand. I had OS X 3.9 on it and worked fine, but the disk was full of applications that I never use and only 2.4 GB space left. It has been through a few hands before I got it, so a lot of users have been created and deleted, apps installed, etc. I did not get any of the original software media with it, just the Powerbook as is. So I decided to buy Tiger for it and do a clean installation so I can have a fresh system and have the media. But, I am not able to install Tiger on it. The installation will get to the part where it installs the BSD system and then it would tell me that the installation failed and I should try again. Sometimes it would get to a point (Normally during installing the BSD system and once a few steps further) and it would just hang there. It says "Writing files: 11% Completed" and 7 minutes remaining, but nothing advance. I can still use the mouse, open menu options and look at the log.

I suspected the DVD reader to be faulty, so I took an external USB disk, and copied the DVD image onto it. Then I boot the PowerBook from the USB disk. Installation starts up fine, but it gets stuck at virtually the same place. Now it gets to 12% of Installing the BSD Subsystem. So, the DVD reader is not the problem.

That would be why it fails even with the image copied over. The only way to know would be to get another DVD or CD and try to install something, like OS 9 or OS X.3 and see if the same problem. Also, the specs for Tiger require 256 MB ram and 3GB free HD space. If you only have 2.4 GB left and did not clean off the HD there will not be enough room left for Tiger. If you dont have at least 256 of Ram it will start to install and then hang. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Truter" To: "A place to discuss Apple's Titanium computers."

Specs is not a problem, 512MB RAM I am also starting to suspect the DVD media, but when the installer verify the DVD, it does not report any problems and I have done it a few times. Funny thing is that now the installer has gone past its normal hangup point. It is installing additional languages now. The main difference between this install and the previous one is that the machine was off over night, so it is cool and this time I just went with all the defaults. The previous times I deselected most languages and printer drivers. Maybe it will go through now... ??

You need 3Gb free to install, it is recommended that you always have 10% of your hard disk free anyway. Activity Monitor might show you how much hard disk is being used for virtual memory. It can be 3 to 6 Gb. So 2.4 Gb free is probably not enough. If you have an external hard disk, I would copy any important stuff to it using Carbon Copy Cloner or similar, then low-level format your internal hard disk and start the Tiger install from there. In my view, ALWAYS best to start with a clean disk, if you get a machine from elsewhere. keep us posted on your progress..... regards, Trevor From andre at truter.za.net Sat Feb 17 01:40:04 2007 From: andre at truter.za.net (Andre Truter) Date: Sat Feb 17 01:41:09 2007 Subject: [Ti] Problems installing Tiger on Powerbook G4 In-Reply-To: References: <45D5D9BC.9030207@truter.za.net> <45D62E1F.3070502@truter.za.net> <003101c75221$4b967b20$6e01a8c0@cozad> Message-ID: <45D6CD74.9000301@truter.za.net> Dr. Trevor J.

I did not even try to do an upgrade, because the disk was way too full of old stuff that I did not know. My first step was to erase the disk and start on a clean disk. So, I have 18GB of space to install on. Since yesterday I have cleaned the disk a number of times and I have also swapped the disk with another clean disk (also a 20GB) So, since my first install, I have had ample space. This morning the installation managed to get to the part where it installs the Address book and then it flunked out. After that the machine crashed twice when I tried to install.

I had a similar problem, which is why I suggested checking the ram, with a friend's computer. On her computer I had the same problem of problems installing the OS but in her case it was not enough ram. Perhaps you do have a bad ram stick and the OS just balks or bogs down on an install if there are ram problems? I have not used Remember but you can use TechTool Pro for all hardware problems (wonderful program imho) or the Apple Hardware Test Disk but it did not sound like you had it as you got it third party.

The installer uses a fair amount of space in order to perform the installation. I don't know the total size of your HD, but I would clear off enough files so that you have at least 10% available for the installation (~ 5 GB might do it). Unix-based operating systems, like OS X, can have problems when the HD gets to within 10% of being full. So, once you do successfully get it installed, free up enough space to get to this 10% number.

I suspected the DVD reader to be faulty, so I took an external USB disk, and copied the DVD image onto it. Then I boot the PowerBook from the USB disk. Installation starts up fine, but it gets stuck at virtually the same place. Now it gets to 12% of Installing the BSD Subsystem. So, the DVD reader is not the problem. Can it be the hard disk (both of them?) or maybe the DVD was mastered incorrectly, so my image on the USB disk is also faulty. Anything else it could be? With the last number of attempts it has always stopped at the same place. It only once managed to get past the BSD Subsystem, but then it got stuck at 11% of the next section. Any ideas?

Everything had been working perfectly, which has been true for a long time now, ever since Apple replaced the hard drive and CD-ROM drive. Earlier today, I thought about taking it to the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store, where they have been very helpful. However, as luck would have it, the fan started working like a champ again. Now the low-level whirling sound has returned. As with an abnormal sound in our cars, when an errant noise happens with our Apples, concerns arise. Has anyone had similar problems; and if so, how have you dealt with them? Needless to say, I would prefer not to send it back to Apple again, and hope that at most the problem can be addressed by someone at the Genius Bar.

That's certainly what happens with my Powerbook 1.67. However, if the sound is something different to what you would normally expect (very whiney for example) there may be a problem. In my experience fan issues are usually related to a hanging cable or something else within the computer (usually unlikely in a notebook) hanging down on to the fan itself and hitting the fan as it rotates, or due to excessive dust within the fan mechanism itself. You won't know until you open her up however. -- Tarik From rmrakita at gmail.com Mon Feb 26 12:14:11 2007 From: rmrakita at gmail.com (Robert Rakita) Date: Mon Feb 26 12:14:23 2007 Subject: [Ti] hard drive limit?
