Message-ID: I was surprised to find that the arrival of OS X 10.5 "Leopard" has not even added one post to the List, since 1 October (according to my records) ! Ten days ago, I ordered Leopard from Amazon (UK), and it arrived Monday 29 October. It installed with no issues, very simply, very easily, on my 4+ year old Aluminium G4 Powerbook. These are my observations so far: - it has used up a lot of my disk space ! - Applejack no longer works under Leopard, which is a great pity, as this was my regular maintenance utility. I hope this gets fixed very soon. I feel kind of lost without it.... - FruitMenu and Window Shade X do not work with Leopard. These are part of the way I work, so this is disappointing - Spaces does not seem as sophisticated as You Control Desktops, so I was quite disappointed. It does not seem that each Space can have it's own desktop picture. - TimeMachine took a really long time to create the first backup. Each incremental backup seems huge. I still run Retrospect in parallel, until I feel that TimeMachine can do what I need. I could not see how to look for an unintentionally-deleted file by name, only by location. TimeMachine adapts easily to the situation where I have one backup at home, one at work. It does mean that I have to manually select the right disk at each location. I appreciate the simplicity of TimeMachine, but the downside is that it cannot be customised (the time interval/frequency of backup, for example, is not in my control) - I feel that my Mac is running faster now - every day I am discovering new features I hope some others have some Leopard-on-my-laptop experience to share. regards, Trevor From nandoz at cln.megared.net.mx Sat Nov 3 17:12:57 2007 From: nandoz at cln.megared.net.mx (Carlos F Hernandez) Date: Sat Nov 3 17:13:06 2007 Subject: [Ti] Any spots on the Leopard ?

Could be several things. I think it takes 5 gigs more than Tiger. Check size of logs. Also, the old system files may have been archived.

Using firewire disk boot, I was able to install Leopard on my Titanium 667MHz PowerBook with no problem. Seems to run pretty well, though a little pokey. But Tiger wasn't that speedy either. The graphics are scaled back automatically so that the menubar is not translucent, and neither is the dock shelf. Some people would say that is an advantage. -- Dennis Fazio From rweaver at igc.org Mon Nov 5 12:12:03 2007 From: rweaver at igc.org (Read Weaver) Date: Mon Nov 5 12:28:53 2007 Subject: [Ti] Any spots on the Leopard ?

An Apple System's engineer told me that the big hang up is the video adapters. Leopards graphics us the GPU much more than the CPU. That is the reason for the 866MHz minimum. Tiger works fine on my 667 G-4 so I see not reason to upgrade that machine. It is time to think new hardware. 10.5 works well on my G-5 Tower. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It appears that Apple decided not to go the Vista route and specify varying levels of graphic capability on different machines (i.e., Vista would run on older, slower machines, but you wouldn't get the Aeroglass display). Simplicity and consistency seems to rule instead and obviates the need to do extensive quality assurance testing on older machine models. It works, and it does scale back on the fancy graphics, but there won't be any help from the genius bar if it buggers up. -- Dennis Fazio From rob.morris at earthlink.net Tue Nov 6 09:22:47 2007 From: rob.morris at earthlink.net (rob morris) Date: Tue Nov 6 09:23:27 2007 Subject: [Ti] Any spots on the Leopard ?

Boaz - hi ! Applejack is a small, free utility which is available from: http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ You install the program, then use it to take care of your hard disk. You start the computer in single-user start up mode (start up holding down Apple-S), type "Applejack auto restart" (other options are possible) and it performs disk and permission repair routines at the Unix level, plus cleans up caches, virtual memory files, etc. I use it (i) as a regular maintenance program, perhaps once a week (ii) if there is any problem with the start-up; typically if you unexpectedly shut down OS X, or something dramatic like that, which kind of "upsets" OS X. The advantage of Applejack over many other similar utilities is that it operates below the OS X level. There is clearly some basic incompatibility of AppleJack with Leopard, which I hope is easily fixed..... By the way, you can always check on Version Tracker (http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/ ) to find the source of any program or utility or application or software, original or update. I check it (almost) everyday for software updates of 3rd party software. regards, Trevor From tyreeford at comcast.net Fri Nov 9 16:01:39 2007 From: tyreeford at comcast.net (Ty Ford) Date: Fri Nov 9 16:01:45 2007 Subject: [Ti] Any favorite webcams for the G4 Ti book?

You connect your mac with the working disc to the one with the broken disc using the firewire cable, then power on the broken one while holding down t (or maybe apple-t, I forget offhand). This puts it into firewire target mode. I know it's in that mode on mine when the screen comes up blue with a yellow symbol. Once that's done, power on the machine with the working disc (and your Leopard install dvd inserted) while holding down c. Once the good machine boots from the install disc, it will see that there's more than one place to install to and will allow you to chose where to install. I think the firewire target machine (your broken-disc titanium) shows up in the list of choices as a symbol that looks like the yellow symbol displayed on the broken machine's screen. Select that and run the install as normal. When it's all done, you can boot the good machine as usual, but the broken-disc machine has a newly installed OS. Just make certain you're not selecting the normal drive on your good machine to install to. I've only done fresh installs to the target and have never tried to preserve the contents of the target machine during this operation, so I don't know if there's a way to keep installed programs, etc on the target, so you're on your own if you need to preserve stuff on the broken-disc machine. Maybe if you select 'archive and install' it'll keep stuff for you.. dunno.. Jake On Nov 11, 2007 1:13 AM, Suzanna wrote: > I have an iMac and a Powerbook with a broken disc drive.

There is no official ability to get tethered internet access with the iPhone. Somebody might've hacked it to get it to work, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to forgo all future software updates (which would risk permanently disabling your phone). For other phones, it is possible; I've used my Sony Ericsson Z520a to access the internet on my PowerBook. I think the tradeoff is that the ability to tether on a smartphone is generally extra; for other smartphones, I think you have to pay around $45/month for data, and something like $60 for the ability to tether. Similarly, you can get unlimited data through a PC card for $60/month in addition to a regular wireless plan. On the other hand, the iPhone data plan is $20/ month - you just can't use it with your computer. Seems like a fair tradeoff to me - assuming that they're going to gouge you for internet, anyway. In reality, none of the unlimited data plans should cost as much as they do. I hope someday that wireless data is the same price and speed as what one can get in a wired connection. Until then, I'll probably live without wireless data service.

Maybe thru firewire somehow???? If you have an external USB or Firewire hard drive, you can ghost your drive on the Powerbook using Carbon Copy Cloner (free). Then follow Jake's procedure and do a clean install. Then connect the drive again to the Powerbook, boot the machine and use the new- machine setup wizard to copy all the settings and applications from the clone drive back to the Powerbook. I'm going to have to do this with my MacBook to try to fix a Java problem in FireFox that has not been corrected by any other means. In my case, I'm probably going to just reinstall Tiger, but the process should be the same. I'll probably wait a while before I upgrade the OS.

There were know issues with the firewire ports on these Ti models, the 400 and 500 Ti books. Is yours a 500? You can use the about this mac under the apple to find out. I would zap your PRAM several times, do a PMU reset, etc first. You could run your hardware test off of the install DVD to see if it is a problem with the port. If it is the port, then short of a new logic board, i do not believe much can be done.

From what you describe it does sound like a fried firewire port, and you should first find out (try a website like lowendmac.com) if on your model the firewire is on a separate board or part of the main board. If it's on a separate board (Eventually Apple made this change in the Powerbook Titaniums) a new board should not be too costly, and you could do the repair yourself with a "take apart" guide, or leave it to a professional to do for you. I would estimate the repair to take 1-2 hours. If it's on the main board it's probably not worth replacing, unless you can get the main board replaced cheaply. I am based in the UK and for Powerbook spares can recommend VIS Ltd. ( a company I used recently for Powerbook spare parts) as a source of parts.

Hope to get Leopard for Christmas. :-) On Nov 11, 2007, at 7:31 AM, Jacob Ritorto wrote: Suzanna, I've found it quite easy to install onto titaniums with no disc. You connect your mac with the working disc to the one with the broken disc using the firewire cable, then power on the broken one while holding down t (or maybe apple-t, I forget offhand). This puts it into firewire target mode. I know it's in that mode on mine when the screen comes up blue with a yellow symbol. Once that's done, power on the machine with the working disc (and your Leopard install dvd inserted) while holding down c. Once the good machine boots from the install disc, it will see that there's more than one place to install to and will allow you to chose where to install. I think the firewire target machine (your broken-disc titanium) shows up in the list of choices as a symbol that looks like the yellow symbol displayed on the broken machine's screen. Select that and run the install as normal. When it's all done, you can boot the good machine as usual, but the broken-disc machine has a newly installed OS. Just make certain you're not selecting the normal drive on your good machine to install to. I've only done fresh installs to the target and have never tried to preserve the contents of the target machine during this operation, so I don't know if there's a way to keep installed programs, etc on the target, so you're on your own if you need to preserve stuff on the broken-disc machine. Maybe if you select 'archive and install' it'll keep stuff for you.. dunno.. Jake On Nov 11, 2007 1:13 AM, Suzanna wrote: > I have an iMac and a Powerbook with a broken disc drive.

I will try some of these ideas first this wkend and post my findings. Hopefully zapping PRAM or something similiar will fix the dead FW port. And if the FW port is on a daughter card, I'll see about replacing it. randy CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The information contained in this e-mail is privileged and confidential, and is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.

No. However, at the beginning of this month, I started using a USB 3G modem here in the UK, with my 2003 Aluminium G4 Powerbook, and it is great. The network is "3" (http://www.three.co.uk/personal/products_services_/mobile_broadband_/index.omp ) Not elegant, having a USB modem dangling from your laptop, but at least it gives me a reasonably fast internet connection anywhere (except ironically, where I am currently working, as it is on the middle of nowhere). The plan is ?10/month for 1 Gb data. I am a pretty intensive user, but am still well within that limit. I wish they had a PC card version, but their argument was that not all laptops have a PC card slot, but they all have USB. Fair point, I suppose. I am not technical enough to know if the Huawei (USB Modem) drivers exist for other 3G cards. When I move (2008) to a MacBook Pro, I will look to moving to a 3G card, if I can fin one that can used. regards, Trevor From david at ferleger.com Sat Nov 17 11:13:11 2007 From: david at ferleger.com (David Ferleger) Date: Sat Nov 17 11:13:23 2007 Subject: [Ti] Yes - AT+T wireless cards for MacBook Pro?

I use a wireless card from Verizon, subscribe to their national broadband, and there's a VZ Manager which connects both to Verizon's wireless system, and also to local WiFi like my airports at home. Works fine. (When updated to Leopard recently, I had to find and download later version of the VZ Manager software) David david@ferleger.com From jmsparks1 at verizon.net Sat Nov 17 18:07:07 2007 From: jmsparks1 at verizon.net (John Sparks) Date: Sat Nov 17 18:07:07 2007 Subject: [Ti] G4 & USB In-Reply-To: <473619FA.90601@oryx.cc> References: <473619FA.90601@oryx.cc> Message-ID: <141391FC-A43B-4FFE-8C48-B0EABBE92CD3@verizon.net> Jerry: I was not referring to the number of ports, only referring to USB 1.1 vs 2.0.

I wonder why this feature was dropped? is there any workaround? I had also found that the Leopard Address Book no longer enables me to send SMS from within it, nor to dial up with Skype. It seems that a number of the useful functions of Address Book have been removed. I cannot imagine why this was done. How do we campaign to get these features back in an update? So for those of us with laptops on the move, Leopard has apparently lost some very useful functionality, for no obvious reason. regards, Trevor From kaskudoo at freenet.de Thu Nov 22 21:08:08 2007 From: kaskudoo at freenet.de (Kaskudoo) Date: Thu Nov 22 21:08:23 2007 Subject: [Ti] Lost in Leopard In-Reply-To: <7F15D2D5-B745-40C1-950A-673D6CB84D45@consultant.com> References: <7F15D2D5-B745-40C1-950A-673D6CB84D45@consultant.com> Message-ID: <86EDDD13-5A25-401D-A09C-65A84DAB88FE@freenet.de> Trevor, I am using 'menumeters' .... a little app that tells me how fast up/ down speed is and how much memory i am using. find it here: http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/index.html screenshot of my menumeters in action: http://smg.photobucket.com/ albums/v203/kaskudoo/?action=view¤t=menumeters.jpg I hope that some of the features you listed will come back .....
