I think it was a standard PC card reader, though, to fit a 5 1/4" drive bay. You'd need one of the PC card reader with a cable that's routed out back through the PCI cover plates to the rear USB ports, though. A lot of the internal PC card readers plug into pins on the motherboard, and I don't think you'd be able to use one of those. -- Rich From rsmykla at verizon.net Fri Feb 2 03:57:07 2007 From: rsmykla at verizon.net (Rick Smykla) Date: Fri Feb 2 03:57:40 2007 Subject: [G4] G4 DA 533 question In-Reply-To: <6df518f10702012302j427f3273p6d4580de307b58ff@mail.gmail.com> References: <6df518f10702012302j427f3273p6d4580de307b58ff@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: "Sweet Multiport Add the convenience of ports at your fingertips.

If Illustrator 9, Photoshop 6, etc. are OS 9 apps, then Chris needs to boot into OS 9 to install them, but afterwards, they should run in both OS 9 and OS X (via Classic).

PC card readers that depend on pins on the motherboard still won't work with that card, though. The USB pins on many PC motherboards aren't arranged like a standard USB port.

Right this is the Mac i bought second hand from Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&item=150023013191&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 Pretty much no question about it, I got scammed. All information on the ebay article is true, except the statement about the Mac working. YEs it does start up, but it doesn't get any further. I reach the screen where there's nothing but a flashing question mark. I've tried to find some help on apples site, but still can't get it working. As the Ebay article says, the specs are: - G4 - 450MHz- 40GB Hard Drive- 256MB Ram- DVD One of the quesiton i recieved last time was "is the hard drive actually present". I can confirm it is. I'm guessing the issues surrounds the question "Is an OS installed?" Is there any way i can check this? I read on apples site that holding down the option(?) key loads up a screen where you can choose the start up volume or something. I did this but see only circular arrow thing and left arrow. The left arrow does nothing and clicking the circular arrow thing leads to the comupter displaying a load sign instead of mouse pointer then just doing nothing. Any ideas? P.S. i bought seperately a G4 keyboard and mouse so that is not the issue. PPS. Does anyone have a spare OS9 start up / recovery disk or could they make me a copy of or just...i don't know lend or give me ANY kinds of disk that will make this damned Mac work. I only bought it as a secondary computer for music recording with a Digi 001 interfeace damnit! _________________________________________________________________ Live Search: New search found http://get.live.com/search/overview -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can go directly to Tiger (or Leopard, if you don't have $$-it's supposed to ship in Spring 07). I'm running the same machine and Tiger's much faster/better than Jaguar or Panther. BTW, I suggest getting an external FWHD, using something like Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper!, etc., and making a bootable clone of your Jaguar and OS 9 installations, so that when you upgrade and run into any problems, you can revert back to your current setup.

The flashing question mark indicates that there is NO SYSTEM installed on your hard drive. You need to install a valid operating system in order to proceed any further than you have gotten so far. A good bet is to try searching eBay for a Mac OS installation CD (of whatever version you want to install) and buy it. Another good source would be a local Mac User Group if there is one in your area. When you get the installation CD, start your Mac and open the CD drive tray, insert the CD, close the tray, and then wait for the Mac to recognize the valid OS on the CD and boot. After the Mac finishes booting, you will see an icon that says something like "Install". Double-click that icon and follow the instructions on screen to install a valid OS on your Mac. I would recommend using the drive utility on the CD to initialize the drive before installing the OS if you are going to use OS-9. It will be in a folder on the CD. If you are going to use OS-X, it will give you an opportunity to erase the drive before installing the OS. Welcome to the world of Macintosh. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I disagree, I notice the auction makes NO reference to an operating system. I do get peaved when people confuse hardware and software. Did you expect it to work without an OS? Did you plan on buying one? If you want to use the G4 with a Digi 001 interface, what Pro Tools s/w were you planning on using? Do you know what OS is supported by that s/w and h/w? It's not straightforward - you have to do some research. Check out the Digidesign website then get hold of the latest OS installer that is supported. If you want plug-and-play then lay down the cash for a modern turnkey system, otherwise you have to educate yourself, then you can "do it the cheap" :-) John --- Ashton Lawrence wrote: > > Okay to confirm, i have started a discussion on this > before and didn't answer a lot of questions so i > will clarify everything now and hope someone can > give me a cheap easy way to solve this problem. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a PS3 game guru.

It depends on how you work, of course, but if possible you might schedule a save session every hour or so, to shut Safari down, let it close up open windows, etc. and after 30 seconds or so, open it again, see it it's down to a manageable size again. I'm not a memory expert, especially on Safari, but just generally, I've found some programs are not efficient as tney could be, and require periodic turning off and back on again.

I also do periodic maintenance on the entire OS (10.4.8). But that's not a fix. It's 'making do' and it shouldn't be that way. This has been a KNOWN problem with Safari and firefox ever since they came out. It's been more than long enough for a fix to have been found IF the programmers cared to. I think that they think it's a minor problem and would rather devote their time to making cool stuff instead of some boring code fix! Kind of harsh I know, but for crying out loud! How many years does it take to fix some code? It's not like this hasn't happened before. Other software have experienced this 'memory leak' problem and fixed it. Why can't these coders do it? Okay.

I'd hope some decision-maker would see to fixing memory leaks. That sort of thing cripples an otherwise fine program, for a lot of people. Cross your fingers that someone with a little clout reads this list, and will assign a little priority to that problem. keith whaley From wrdptrsn at gmail.com Sun Feb 4 03:24:06 2007 From: wrdptrsn at gmail.com (wrdptrsn) Date: Sun Feb 4 03:24:16 2007 Subject: [G4] Browsers Message-ID: <6f8f28710702040324h4bff873x6ff9a135911a6ea9@mail.gmail.com> The best browser that I've ever used, and still use is Opera.

You could, if running Safari, periodically empty its cache. Alternatively, you could enable Safari's Debug menu: quit Safari, launch the Terminal app, type in this command, hit the return key, relaunch Safari, select Debug->Always check for world leaks, and see what's reported: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1 To turn off the Debug menu, use this: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0 From sng at cox.net Sun Feb 4 14:07:44 2007 From: sng at cox.net (Steve Goldstein) Date: Sun Feb 4 14:08:01 2007 Subject: [G4] Browsers and e-mail clients In-Reply-To: <45C63ACB.4060904@comcast.net> References: <20070204163149.97702.qmail@web81411.mail.mud.yahoo.com> <45C63ACB.4060904@comcast.net> Message-ID: Camino and SeaMonkey stem from the same Mozilla roots. They are not all that difference. I prefer the SeaMonkey interface to that of Camino, however. I always have a duplicate copy of my Eudora Settings File handy in case I run into the same problem that you did. Yesterday, however, my wife could not log into her ISP (Cox) mail account using Apple's Mail, and I could not log into one of a few separate mail accounts that I have with Cox.net as well, and I use Eudora. But, I could access my other mail accounts with no trouble. Also, I could not access the problem e-mail accounts over Cox's web interface, though, again, I could access the other e-mail accounts that way, too. So, the problem was at Cox's end and not with our e-mail clients. Worth checking next time your mail wedges. One more problem that I used to get at my employer's office about five years ago was not being able to download e-mail beyond a certain message. I would have to log into the machine at the terminal level and use a UNIX editor to remove the offending message (I think the problem was an end-of-file error). I have not had that problem with any of my commercial ISPs' e-mail accounts, however. If you feel that you want to use another e-mail client, you might also take a look at a very good one called GyazMail.app ($18, shareware). I tried it for a while and liked it very much, but since I had years and years of history and addresses stored on Eudora, I decided to stay with Eudora. --Steve At 11:58 AM -0800 2/4/07, Brett George wrote: >I looked at Camino a while back when it was in it's infant stage. > Then, since I liked what I was using, I forgot about it. so, >yes, I'll take a look at it too.

I think the max is 2 gig for these models. I use Safari but I'm starting to use Camino more and more. Safari has some type of memory leak and eats up 500-700 meg of ram in a matter of days. I've complained about it but nothing seems to happens. Apple has had a lot of problems programming for these dual processors (even 10.2 had early problems with the dual processors) and maybe that has something to do with the memory leak. In OSX you do not allocate memory to programs. The OS does that automatically. I have ran OS9 and OSX on the same drive with no partitions. There is no need to partition. Partitioning does help in keeping things organized but there is no need to do it. There has been many heated discussions about this subject on this board, but I have done it with no partitions and there is no need for partitioning.

She was easily able to use it to create her website. I also have used RW to modify her site. It retains information regarding where you need to upload your site after your first upload, which is handy. I also know of a couple of other people who use RW to create and maintain their sites. It works fairly intuitively. It also has a great FAQ and a RW forum, so if you have a question, you can usually find an answer right away. Others share their experiences and you find they have already solved most problems you may have. I think RW is a great piece of software for the money. ---- Richard Ramsowr wrote: > Morning all... > > I'm looking for some feedback on either RapidWeaver > (for which I'm lean towards buying) or Sandvox (for > which I find is weak and unstable).

I have half a gig of RAM but my G-4 is only 400Mhz and can't complain about the speed of any of the three. Firefox is fine for me as I 'share' it with my winboxes, but I'd go with Camino if I had to pick one for 'just the Mac'. Alas, a neat add-on *was* CamiTools ...but it appears to not work beyond 1.0.

No. OS X allocates memory on the fly, using virtual memory (i.e., free diskspace; that's why people recommend keeping 10-20% of any boot volume empty/free). > I'm still a newbie to OSX, and I'll probably hold off tillspring to upgrade >from > what I have, which is 10.2.8.

That said, I personally recommend separating them to minimize conflicts, but you don't have to do that. How did you back up? Copy from internal to external?

I don't have a superdrive, just the HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000 drive that came with the machine.I agree that it's a bit odd, but at least you have a simple workaround.

If you need to boot OS 9, you will need to keep the OS 9 boot partition under about 190 GB, or OS 9 will hang when booting (personal experience). OS 9 can access all your data on all your partitions. There are many ways to do the partitioning. I have a 20 GB partition for booting OS 9 - probably about twice the size that it needs to be since OS 9 can access data on all my other drives and partitions (largest is 460 GB). The major drawback to this approach is that it does duplicate the OS 9 software, since Classic needs to be the same partition as OS 10 to avoid anomalies. I experienced some issues with booting OS 9 on the OS 10 partition after upgrading to 10.4.7: many of my Applescripts would not run. I suspect that part of the 10.4.7 upgrade included some changes to OS 9 extensions to make Classic work better, but it gave me problems when operating in a pure OS 9.2.2 environment. I copied OS 9.2.2 from a pre-upgrade backup to the 20 GB partition, and everything works fine. One caution - 190 GB might be too big. There's no Apple documentation on the maximum size for an OS 9 boot partition, only a few user postings. I haven't experimented to confirm the maximum size, so it might be a something less than 190 GB. If you have time, try 190 and boot OS 9. Otherwise, I'd be a little conservative and go with 180 GB for the main partition and whatever is left for second. I can say from experience that OS 9 will not boot from 385 GB and 470 GB partitions. While you will need to initialize your external drive before you can use it, it does not need OS 10 or OS 9, unless you want to boot into either of those operating systems from the external drive. I would strongly recommend having at least OS 10 (with Classic) on the external drive in case something happens to the internal drive. That will provide a more convenient means (compared to booting from a CD/DVD) of troubleshooting and repairing some problems.

It's also nice to have clean, unfragmented space for images etc. My son gave me his old MMD dual 1.25 400 including lots of recently installed applications and 10.4.8. I backed up the whole drive with Retrospect Desktop, added a HD, and partitioned that as follows: 121+ gigs, 10gb for DVD burning, 5gb for applications, 10gb for scratch, and 1gb for downloading, and 1gb for a redundant 9.2.2 boot volume. Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the original HD into the 121 gig volume. All is working well. Can I now simple copy the applications folder from the 121gb volume into the applications volume, pull all the applications out of the folder, then trash that empty folder, and replace the applications folder on the 121gb with an alias pointing to the new 5gb applications volume? Are there invisible files that would be lost and not included in the process? Do application preference files under OSX get mingled in with the system folder/files as they do in OS9? Maybe I could use CCC to clone the folder. ???? Can I install 9.2.2 in the 121gb "system" volume now or will I have to uninstall OSX, install OS9, and then reinstall OSX so that I can run in classic mode? I realize I can use the redundant 1gb 9.2.2 boot volume but mighten it be useful to have both options? Most of my old applications will only run under OS9.

I posted weeks ago and it seemed that my router had died. Now I have a new linksys BEFSX41 ver. 2.1. The lights are a bit different from the lights on the previous model, but I see the similarity. This router seems to be doing better, but I am not there yet. I connected the router and all the lights went on as they should. I configured the router, at least I think I did using Netscape 7.1. I should add that my default home page did not come up. I stopped that and entered http://192.168.1.1. A LynkSys web page came up. I just used the default values. Then I turned everything off, including the DSL modem. I turned it all back on again. No luck with Netscape 7.1 or Safari. My Network is set to Built-in Ethernet. The TCP/IP settings are set to configure Using DHCP. The IP address, subnet Mask and Router number seem to be supplied by the router. I also have an IPv6 Address. I checked the system logs and found this troubling entry: Feb 10 14:45:07 localhost ConsoleMessage: Starting network file system Feb 10 14:45:07 localhost ConsoleMessage: Starting printing services Feb 10 14:45:08 localhost automount[289]: automount version 57 Feb 10 14:45:08 localhost automount[292]: automount version 57 Feb 10 14:45:12 localhost ConsoleMessage: Loading IP Firewall extension Feb 10 14:45:12 localhost SystemStarter: Loading IP Firewall extension Feb 10 14:45:13 localhost SystemStarter: Waiting for Network extensions Feb 10 14:45:16 localhost kernel: IP packet filtering initialized, divert enabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to accept, logging disabled Feb 10 14:45:16 localhost kernel: IPv6 packet filtering initialized, default to accept, logging disabled Feb 10 14:45:16 localhost kernel: IP firewall loaded Feb 10 14:45:16 localhost ConsoleMessage: Starting internet services Feb 10 14:45:16 localhost SystemStarter: Starting internet services Feb 10 14:45:16 localhost xinetd[325]: 325 {init_services} no services.

By that I mean would my two computers talk to each ohter with the only conncetion between them being the router. They will. It seems as though this router is fine but for some reason I do not have things properly set. The only way I can get on the internet is to remover the router. Any thoughts? I really thought that a new router would fix things.

Have a backup drive or don't. Your choice. But you are taking simple and making it painful.

Why don't you poke around in OSX . Prefs are in the library folders of which there at least two. > Maybe I could use CCC to clone the folder. ???? Sure. Or you could .....just install all your stuff on one big drive. Partition the other one like 100/20 put 0.2.2 on the 20 and CCC your main drive to the 100. Then both drives will have lots of space and the 100 will have clean space. > > Can I install 9.2.2 in the 121gb "system" volume now or will I have > to uninstall OSX, install OS9, and then reinstall OSX so that I can > run in classic mode? > I realize I can use the redundant 1gb 9.2.2 boot volume but mighten > it be useful to have both options?

A lot of what you are asking will depend on the machine you are using. If your machine is capable of booting to OS-9, then it is not required that you have a separate partition for that OS. You can simply do a "Clean Install" of OS-9 in the same partition and designate it as your Classic environment when you access the Classic preference of OS-X. With this arrangement, you will have the option of booting to either OS by holding the Option key down during startup. You can then choose which OS to boot to. If, however, your machine is NOT capable of booting to OS-9, you should use the included CD/DVD to install the Classic environment for that machine. It will be a suitable version according to the model machine you have. This OS will be placed in the same partition as the OS-X version, so you still do not need to partition just for the sake of installing the OS-9. Either way, there is no longer a need to partition your drive simply to install the Classic environment.

You can put OS 9 on your OSX partition if you use it for Classic only. I believe it is un-bootable in this state and will only boot to OSX. If I am wrong then correct me. Or you can make a separate partion (arround 5 gig or more) to use as Classic and be bootable into OS9 directly. I find the partition scenario the best because if ever you need replace your OS9 you can do so without effecting OSX. But then I rarely use OS9 - only a couple of old games I play, like MOO 2 or Quake 4. Both have OSX patches that are hard to make work. Hope this helps. jj On 10-Feb-07, at 10:14 PM, g4-request@listserver.themacintoshguy.com wrote: > Browsers (need for partitioning) > To: g4@listserver.themacintoshguy.com > Cc: Margaret Krakowiak > Message-ID: <39307E12-B926-11DB-AAFE-003065BF3E6C@bellsouth.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed > > John B., thanks for the reply. > > What Rich said - if I understood correctly.. > > For use as Classic, OS9 should be on the same partition as X, > but for use as a bootable system it should be on a different partition? > Meaning two OS9 installs? > > Right now on my new internal drive I put OS9 and X on different > partitions, > and was planning to use that OS9 system for Classic apps.

No. I'm an advocate of keeping them on separate partitions. That allows using Startup Disk to easily select either as the boot drive. Additionally, when in OS X you can use the OS 9 on the other partition as Classic without messing anything up on either partition. That also allows you to reinstall OS X without hosing up anything on OS 9 or vice versa. This is especially handy if the directory gets a bit hosed and Disk Utility can't fix it, eliminating using something like Disk Warrior to fix things. Keeping them separate simplifies my usage. BTW, I also have both backed up to an external FWHD and make backups on a regular basis. That also simplifies fixing a hosed directory. Boot into the backup, erase the hosed installation, and clone back.

You cannot install the OS designed for a specific machine onto another machine. Return what you purchased and get a full retail Tiger installation set. has all the details.

Linksys tech support is of no help whatsoever - even trying to comprehend the accent is a major hurdle. I've been given every possible excuse from ' the router doesn't work with Mac' to ' the problem is with your ISP'.

I'd check your firewall settings, or turn off your firewall and see if that makes a difference. And unless your ISP tell you so, I don't think IPv6 comes into play. Your trying to hook up via Ethernet, so I think that should be the only thing showing for that location. In the Lynksis page at 192.168.1.1, is the router getting an IP address from your modem (may be under Administration>Log>Incoming Log). At least that would tell you if your router is getting any traffic.

The DYNEX link I found http://www.dynexproducts.com/pc-28-4-4-port-ethernet-broadband-router.aspx Indicates it is for Window 98 or later. However, the manual, also available on the site, does give setup intructions for OS X. That's a start. It ought to work with OS X. I'm not sure what I am going to do. I hate to just buy a router and hope for the best. Richard Dion wrote: > Les, > > I had the exact same problem with Linksys and their "support".

This must have a green dot or your connection to the router is not valid c) Click on Configure d) Select TCP/IP and for "Configure IPv4" you must select Using DHCP (do not worry about IPv6, you are not going to use that version) If IP Address does not show a number such as 192.168.1.xxx, click on Renew DHCP Lease. If this fails then follow e,f,g below and retry this step again. If you can not gain an IP address at this point, press the reset button on the back of your router to return it to factory settings and try again this step again. This step must pass or you will have no connection to your router. Your email states that this has happened and is good. And yes, your router is suppling the IP addy, Netmask and so on. You do not need to do this yourself. e) Select PPPoE and ensure there is no check mark for Connect using PPPoE f) Select Ethernet and ensure "Configure" states Automatically g) click lower right corner "Apply Now". Your computer is now set up to connect by LAN and not by DSL. You may now connect to your router through any web brower by going to http://192.168.1.111 Do so and log in to your router. If this step happens and your into your router control screen you have done very well and everything is moving along as should be. What to do with the Router: 1) Access the Router web page (It is a web page served from the router) http://192.168.1.1 user your browser, any browser, it does not matter as you are connecting to a web server. a) Skip the Name field and enter the word "admin" (no " marks please) in the Password field b) You are now logged into your router and you can adust settings. It is HERE that you will connect to you DSL. Understand this, your router talks to the DSL, your computer talks to the router. You computer does not ever talk to the DSL as if the router is not involved. Reading your email it is here that you are having difficulties. The steps which follow will resolve your problems c) For WAN Connection type select PPPoE. This is what a DSL line uses. d) Enter whatever user name you have for your DSL e) Enter whatever passowrd you have for you DSL. These are provided by your ISP when you aquired the DSL service and are required f) Click on Apply Your router will now connect to your DSL unit. Your computer is already setup to connect to the router. At this point you may use your computer to connect to the Internet. Since you are using a Mac there is no reason to do restarts. Let us know if this has helped or if you have other problems. Besure to include details. The question about xinetd has been answered correctly. It is a port monitoring daemon and so listens to your computer ports. When incoming connection request are made this service will make that connection. Think of it as the operator on a phone line. And incoming call comes to the operator and a connection is requested. The operator (daemon) will make that connection. You have no services for this daemon to connect to. GOOD!

Depending on the type of modem and your ISP set up. you may need to configure the router as a passive device that uses the modems ability to log in to thew ISP or as an active device that you use to make and maintain the connection. In my case all the login info is stored in the modem so the Router is a simple passive DHCP device. Your ISP should have support for this. Mine setup instructions for most major router manufacturers.

Then what I've done should be fine - I have OS9 on a separate partition, and can use it as boot and Classic. And I plan on putting both on my FW external drive too. It's true, once I get the swing of X, I probably won't be using 9 much anyway. My main apps are X compliant. So far my only real loss is my drawing tablet, which was ADB that I had working with an imate adapter, which no longer is supported in X. Here's a kind of dumb question, but it's unclear to me in reading the directions in disk utility: it says I can't use disk utility to repair the disk I've booted from, makes sense, but what about for repairing permissions, which is something that I never did in 9, and seems to be something done regularly in X. Can I repair permissions from the drive I'm booted from? margaret, still getting up to speed.

I am looking for the processor upgrade at the PowerLogix PowerForce Series 100 DUAL G4-7455/1.0GHz and runs around $280, and for video, an ATI Radeon 9800 w/ 256MB which runs $250, both prices are new units. Once I look at the cost to upgrade the machine to a moderately useful setup, I feel I could get a similar setup with the purchase of a used machine purchased on ebay. I could then turn around and sell my old unit for about $300. My computer isn't used for anything particularly processor intensive other than editing photos in iPhoto. I am just looking for some opinions on where I get the best bang for my buck, and whether a machine replacement isn't just as beneficial as a couple of new parts.

Select on Demand means that your DSL connection closes for lack of activity after a determined period of time. The DSL will reconnect again when needed you need it. There is a slight delay as the DSL unit needs to acquire an IP addy. You might, or might not acquire a new IP address using this process. Keep Alive means that your DSL is always connected and has an IP addy. The router does this by periodically requesting data so your DSL connection never closes. In so doing you can keep your IP addy the same for quite some time. Even though it's a dynamic IP in practice. There then is no delay when you are ready to use your computer. Either choice is the correct one for you to use. Either of the two work and it's just nitpicking configuration.

I'm sure that they do give a boost, but the useabilty of a computer depends on many factors. Since you've already got a good quantity of RAM, try Tiger if you haven't yet. I think it's faster. And a modest video card upgrade so that Quartz Extreme is supported (I run a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX in my 350MHz G4). If you don't game, I don't think you need more video. You can get some flashed PC cards from eBay cheeply. A modern disk drive helps alot also. What do you use for a screen? Why not spend some cash on a nice big LCD? That's the bit you look at, and you can re-use it when next you upgrade. Personally I have always found that more screen area = better enjoyment. Two screens is even better :-) But I don't see the point of supercharging the engine with a 100MHz bus. Plus most productivity apps do not benefit from dual CPU's. So if you want to go faster, I think you might be happier with a faster single CPU in a more modern PowerMac. Let someone else cut their teeth on your old one.

My first thought is that you have your iTunes library shared and a wireless network connection. Someone connected to your network, saw your shared library, and left you some gifts. I don't know if that's the case, but it's plausible. -- Rich From skygram at gmail.com Thu Feb 15 17:18:40 2007 From: skygram at gmail.com (Skygram) Date: Thu Feb 15 17:18:55 2007 Subject: [G4] Strange video clips appearing in my ITUNES????

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I'm have OS 10.4.8 on our two iMacs (one a G5 the other an Intel machine). One is my wife is using. I would like to share iCal subscriptions with her. I do not have or want a subscription to .Mac. The two iMacs are connected in a home network via a D-link router which also connects us to a DSL line. My question is:: How do I make it so that my wife and I can share iCal subscriptions? I have read a bit about WebDAV servers which apparently is needed for the subscription exchange. I know the OSX server version has the capability for WebDAV, but I can't tell if my regular versions does, or even if Apache can be made to accept WebDAV subscriptions. And if it does, how do I go about getting iCal to recognize the DAV. If you can point me to some good info about sharing ICal info without connecting to an external server, I'd appreciate it.

One thing I've noticed about my neighborhood is that my wireless network picks up a number of other wireless networks. On occasion, my computers log onto one of those other networks automatically (I switch over to my own network of course). So I imagine others see my network too. At one point, my Airport PW and settings actually got changed. Im not a naive user, but I'm not a total expert either. I've done everything I can think of and have read about to limit my network access to my computers. I've tried to make my network invisible to everyone but the computers whose IDs I say can get in, for example. So, any tips on tighter security for wireless networks or URLs where I can read more? Any uses of Terminal that can be made to spot logs of anyone who logged into my network and what they logged into (browsers, files, other applications?) My only other thought about the iTunes is to check the preferences. It can be set to download new content and the sharing thing mentioned below sounds like a good thing to check.

I had partitioned the drive into three partitions, one for X, one for 9, and one for my graphic files/scratch.

First of all, when I was installing Photoshop (or any program so far), I only had the option of installing it to my X partition. Ok. But worse is when I am using Photoshop and go to save a file, I am only given the option of saving it to the X partition. Not only that, but when I have PS open, and use the "open file" menu, I can only access files on the X partition. The only way I can open files on another partition (or drive, I have 2 others) is to drag and drop them into the program.

Your drive is empty or has not been initialized as a Mac drive, and it has no valid operating system installed on it. That is why you are getting the flashing question mark. Your Sawtooth model is capable of using versions 8, 9, or 10 of the Mac OS. Either version of the OS can be installed from a system installation disc as long as you have enough RAM and space on the hard drive. In order to verify the status of the drive, you would have to have a valid operating system CD (or DVD if your machine has a DVD drive installed) to start the Mac from. A major difference in system discs is that version OS 10.4 is NOT available on a CD and you have to have a DVD drive in order to install from that disc. An external FireWire drive can be used to start up and install the operating system if you do not have an internal DVD drive. If you can only find a disc with OS-9, it will be able to initialize the drive and install the OS. You could then examine the machine at your leisure. If you want to use a newer OS version, all of the versions of OS 10 can be installed on your Mac if you can locate an installation disc. To start up from the OS-9 disc, power up the Mac, open the CD tray, insert the CD, close the tray, hold the "C" key down on the keyboard until you see the desktop appear completely with the CD icon at the top right corner. Once you are booted, check the CD contents for a folder containing a hard drive utility program. You can use this program to initialize your hard drive if it is not already formatted. After initializing the drive in extended format, complete the OS installation procedure. You will have an opportunity to do an Easy Install or a Custom Install. The easy install puts everything in the OS folder and you may not want all of that stuff if you do not need it. I always recommend a custom installation to pare down the system because you certainly do not need printer drivers for brands that you don't own or language packages that you don't use. To start up with OS-10, follow the same procedure as above to start up. In OS-10, you need to check the menu bar for a command to open the Disk Utility program to format the drive. If you have to initialize the drive, select the extended formatting and enable System 9 drivers to be installed. After the initialization, run the easy installation unless you have decided to customize your system by omitting portions that you don't need or want, like foreign language packages or printer drivers. During the installation procedure, you can investigate the options available and make your decisions whether to keep or leave out different portions of the system. When you have made your decisions, select the install button and watch the fun on screen. You will have to enter personal information to establish yourself with Administrator status in OS-10 so you can be able to install other programs later. There will be opportunities to select different names, passwords, etc, at the end of the installation process. I hope this gives you a point to start your Mac experience from without all the headaches that Windows can give.

Not enough information. Which computer, which OS X? How many internal HDs? Did you install OS X on the new HD? What kind of HD, internal or external? Where did you hook it up, internally or via FireWire/USB? Did you format the new HD? Which format? If internal, did you properly set the jumpers? Details are invaluable.

Nice to work on btw and I'm impressed buy the build quality. :) I also checked for the firmware update on Apple and read up on how to update... I was wondering what that little button was for. I also found out the "option" button is the "alt" button on my keyboard and the "Apple" button is the command button. Heh, that's also the US layout, so I'll have to look at it when I'm typing certain symbols... I'm in the UK, out in the wilds of East Anglia...

It supports 63 devices, has a bandwidth of 400 Mbps, is hot swappable like USB, and supplies up to 60W of power to FireWire devices. And, because it's related to SCSI, it requires less CPU control than the IDE family of interfaces. So by building a internal FireWire port into the Sawtooth motherboard, Apple made it possible to add additional internal high speed drives without using IDE slave mode (which is slower than master mode) or adding a SCSI or IDE card. Doesn't that sound nice, unfortunately the hardware market never caught on. The price on IDE dropped really fast and now SATA is the way to go. So you have a nice port and not much to plug into it.

The hard drives that you can purchase are all enclosed in an external case and the "HardDrive" that is inside could be an "ATA" or "SATA" drive. So as to your question about an internal firewire drive, unless you can find a "ATA" or "SATA" interface converter that will plug into the drive you won't be able to mount a "Firewire" drive in you platform. ---------------------------------------------------- On Feb 22, 2007, at 10:36 AM, Mark Laurint wrote: > What is the firewire port for that's inside my G4 400 Sawtooth case? > It there a way to install a firewire drive inside, or is there even a > internal Firewire drive? > > Mark Laurint > _______________________________________________ Cheers, /\*_*/\ Harry (*^_^*) * If pro is the opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?

Doubling the power will only increase your range by 25 percent at best (because it is an omni antenna sending the power in all directions). Realistically, doubling the power will only increase your range by about 10 percent. The biggest advantage from this or any external antenna will come from increasing the antenna height above ground. Think of it like your eyes. With you lying on the ground, you might not see very far. Stand up and you see farther. Stand on the roof and you will see farther than standing. The next advantage is the antenna is further away from the computer case. Metals near the antenna will distort the way the antenna radiates its signal. Metals far away will block the signal from going to objects behind the metal. With this antenna mounted above the screen, I see 2 big advantages - antenna is higher above ground, and no other metals nearby to interfere with its radiation pattern. That particular antenna seems a bit on the expensive side for what it does. You might want to look around the internet for other antennae or even try some home-made antenna ideas from the internet. If you like the way it mounts and guaranteed to work with what you have, then I say give it a try.

The stock model will accommodate two internal drives. There is space inside for at least two more drives, but you must add a PCI card to plug them into. AFAIK, your old PC drive will work fine. (I've never done this, so am not certain.) And you can add external drives (Firewire or USB), of course. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It doesn't matter, where your drive comes from, but that interface will only support drives up to 128Gb (you can have two if you like. There is a second interface that serves the DVDrom/ CDrom/ Zip drive. It's possible to put a third drive where the zip goes, but it will be slow. Another way to go is to get a SATA PCI card (like from Sonnet) and then you can have any moden SATA drive (or three :-). Personally I'd do that before considering a CPU upgrade. Also the adverts are correct, you can run Tiger on your old machine (and it will work better). Get 1Gb of ram and you will be supprised at how usable an old Mac is as compared to a modern PC. You might consider a cd burner/dvdrom as well.

My first assumption is that people who are NOT using one of Apples latest offerings (and are on this list) are interested in maximising their computer experience on a low budget, either out of necessity or (in my case) pure bloodymindedness :-) If you are new to Macs, and have not used OSX, then that's what you should try first. It's modern, beats the hell out of M$'s offerings, and runs just fine on older hardware. It comes with a lot of useful s/w and a modern browser (you can also use FireFox, same as your PC). A 450MHz G4 is not the same as a Pentium. I have a company-supplied Dell Precision M70 2GHz Pentium M with 2Gb of ram laptop. I don't use it except for mandated email use. Instead I use my personal 350MHz G4 AGP with Tiger and the Office suite. You will probably have to update the firmware first (under OS 9). You should be able to install your 40Gb on top of the original disk. Then you can keep the original disk as is, and install Tiger on the 40Gb.

My biggest beef is constantly running out of drive space (yeah I have extra 40gb drives, but not enough space in the box to plugg'em in.)

Plug your serial number in here to find out for sure: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html > Will any IDE drive work (ie an old 40gb Western Digital pulled from my PC?) Yes, up to a point. The G4s up 'til 2002 can't address partitions larger than roughly 120 GB. I think the actual number is 137 GB, but 120 is a safe number. I gather there's a driver you can download to get around that, but I don't know much about it, or you can buy a PCI hard drive controller.

Intel introduced something...I think it was called i-spec or something like that...that would supposedly tell you how various processors compared to each other regardless of clock speed. Then AMD stopped advertising the clock speed on their CPUs (I think this started with the Athlon XPs). For instance, my Athlon XP 2500+ actually runs at 1833 MHz. > If you are new to Macs, and have not used OSX, then > that's what you should try first.

My Athlon XP 2500+ at home and the 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 (both running Windows XP) are both clearly faster than my 933 MHz Quicksilver 2002. The Quicksilver is still fast enough for the vast majority of what I want to do, but things do get bogged down once in a while, and the GIMP, in particular, takes much longer to launch than on the Windows computers. BTW, the Quicksilver has 1.5 GB of RAM and a 128 MB Radeon 9800 Pro video card. Uptime, right now, is over 10 days because I had to restart after some software updates 10 days ago. -- Rich From sng at cox.net Mon Feb 26 17:37:34 2007 From: sng at cox.net (Steve Goldstein) Date: Mon Feb 26 17:37:46 2007 Subject: [G4] G4 450 Harddrive Question In-Reply-To: <45E38280.9@richardklein.org> References: <194183.35503.qm@web88209.mail.re2.yahoo.com> <45E38280.9@richardklein.org> Message-ID: A PC-133 controller on a PCU card is the safer way to go. --Steve At 7:59 PM -0500 2/26/07, Richard Klein wrote: >Yes, up to a point.

That drives me nuts! You may disagree, but it was the windows OS I was comparing unfavourably with OSX. I actually paid real money for the MS Office suite. Plain and simple, I like my productivity apps to have a menu bar on the top of the screen and like to be able to open multiple files all over my screen so I can compare them. My gaming sons have screaming fast PC's that we built together. They have to use XP. No choice. My companies computer services people only want to support one choice - the same one they always make. Where else in life are our choices so restricted. > My experience is different.

I'm not stupid enough to claim that my 350MHz G4 runs benchmarks as fast as the latest PC hardware, but for what I do with it, I have a better experience with OSX, and am more productive. Even if I have to wait a second longer for something to open. John ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?

Machines like these are $50-100 at retail here in Silicon Valley. The gig of RAM and licenses might (and I stress might) bump you up a little over that, but $200 generally gets you a used P4 of some type in a retail store. > If I take the 512 meg dimm and sell that for 75.00 E-bay is the only place I can think of where you'd find someone dumb enough to pay $75 for a used (persumably PC100) dimm. I paid $25 for one at the local charitable computer recycling center a few weeks ago. You can easily find them new for under $50 online, and for even less with a rebate. > and one 256 meg dimm and sell that for 20.00 then I should be able > to get 180.00 for the computer with 256 meg of ram.

Yes, just like cars, the parts a usually worth more than the whole.

I have come across a Compaq laptop that wouldn't boot with PC133 RAM instead of PC100, but usually that works fine; the PC133 RAM just runs at the slower PC100 speed. -- Rich From jester_123 at yahoo.com Wed Feb 28 18:45:10 2007 From: jester_123 at yahoo.com (Eric Hall) Date: Wed Feb 28 18:45:22 2007 Subject: [G4] G4 ram compatibility In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <34887.53769.qm@web37311.mail.mud.yahoo.com> You mean like this?

I also own a few PCs and over the years I have taken ram from the Mac and placed it into a PC and vice versa depending on what I needed to do. It was always a question of how much money I had at the time to devote to ram.

If you install faster RAM than the computer requires, i.e., PC133 when only PC100 is required, the machine just dumbs it down to what it needs.
