Hello,

To be honest, I would consider purchasing a true Powerbook instead of an iBook for your situation. You said you wanted to do heavy graphics on your computer, and a full Powerbook has...

Hello,

Welcome to DaniWeb. Please do not hijack other people's threads... your problem is different and unique, and you are welcome to start your own discussion.

Powerbooks require the C...

Hello,

I believe iPhoto is an OS X only application. I am not sure though. Are you sure you are running OS 8 / 9?

Christian

Hello,

This brings up a very important question, and I am researching it. If others have some thoughts, feel free to post.

Looking historically, the new chips should support the older...

Hello,

I am inclined to believe that this is something particular to your iMac. Moving it around, or putting it in the center of a room should have eliminated a lot of the fields in the walls.
...

Hello,

You might find a tool that will recover a partition-wipe as long as you have not saved any new data to the drive. Otherwise, it is very difficult to recover that sort of material, because...

Hello,

Apple does use RISC processors, and that helps in the instruction of code, whereas Intel uses more of a CISC design. RISC = Reduced Instruction, CISC = Complex instruction.

They are...

Hi,

On a second round here, I also wonder about chips in quantity. Seems like when you want to order a Mac or an iPod, you have to wait for it. That is bad business. When I am ready for a new...

Hello,

I am curious to see where you read this.

I actually see it as a good thing. I wonder if there will be more Windows people moving to the Apple OS on top of Intel hardware.

I know that...

Hello,

I am in agreement. I think the drive is doomed.

Christian

Hello,

I would think that your world would be happy at the 4 GB level, unless you were interested in setting up a RAM disk, and keeping a lot of materials within it. RAM Disks are very very fast...

Hello,

You did not mention what OS you had working with you, but Virtual Memory is important to have enabled, or you will loose a lot of RAM to the System.

Remember that in the OS 8 & 9 Days,...

HEllo,

Good to see you again.

There is a TINY hole along the CD-ROM drive that you can put a paper-clip into and use that as a mechanical ejection device. Your pin will be pushing a lever to...

Hello,

I removed your email address as it is against policy to have questions here, and answers sent off to you. Please keep answers on-site, so that the next person with the same question can...

Hello,

I do not have an Apple Extreme card, but can give you some thoughts on it.

Wireless communications happen in the 2.4 GHz range, where a number of other devices transmit and receive,...

Hello,

I removed your email address, as we want to encourage participation here in the forums at DaniWeb. Others may have the same issue that you have, and it would be beneficial for them to see...

Hello Alex,

In MY book, too old would be the 7100 family and earlier, such as the Quadra (68040), and the Centris line, and the earlier Mac II's and so forth. Why? Because these units have some...

Hello,

I would be VERY surprised if you had a serial based scanner. More than likely, it is a SCSI scanner that is on your 25 pin port. Unless you have a special expansion card in your...

Hello,

I wonder if you have the "wind tunnel" G4 that sounds quite, um, loud. The hum could have been the fan cycling on and causing some internal vibration. Curious what happened too that the...

Hello,

I do not have one of these units myself, but wondering if something might be up in the cabling. i hope you have tried to reboot the system with it all wired together to see if that will...

Hi,

Yep. Agree with Yellow. Laptops are NOT designed to be expanded in that function. Now, you might find a PCMCIA video output card for various devices, but as a rule, laptops are closed...

There are times that you will want to connect one hub to another hub -- packet sniffing -- is one reason that I have done it. Hook in the computer you want to sniff on one side... the connection to...

Hi,

You can have a cascade of hubs connected via their uplink ports.

ASCII ART TIME

HUBu <--> HUBu <--> HUBu <--> HUBu <--> HUB <--------Mac

Uplink ports are nothing...

Hello,

I am thinking your hard drive is fried. I am curious though as to the environment you are keeping the machine in.... I have had a Powerbook G3 from 1999 and have replaced the hard drive...

Hello,

Just be sure to look at the ports on your hub. Some of them have an UPLINK port, which is designed for HUB to Hub connections. Of the hubs that I seen with said port, the one...

Hello,

Either that or see if you have it on backup somewhere.

Christian

Hello,

I think you are asking for OS X drivers....

Do a google search on Firewire Direct OS X and see what it says.

Christian

Hello,

I am wondering what Daystar has in mind for your computer. I have purchased 2 DayStar units in the past.... one for my LC to move it from 16 MHZ 68020 to a 40 MHZ 68040, and the second...

Hello,

You betcha.

Also note that the new Macs from a year or so to current should have Gigabit already onboard.

Enjoy,

Christian

Hello,

You are going to need to search for PCI cards that are Gigibit in speed, and work in Macintoshes that operate OS 9. Asante might make some... so may Farallon.

If these computers...

Hello,

Apple's article says that it should handle 4 terabytes.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25557

The thing though is that the partions become very unmanagable. If...

Hello,

It is possible that the drive wasn't unmounted properly on the previous computer. After you hit the verify button in Apple's Utility, did it enable the Repair button? If not, you will...

Hello,

What you have there is a G4 Tower computer that ran at 400 Mhz, with some expansion options. It is not the newest / fastest beast on the market, but for a good used price, it will make...

Hello,

Now THAT sounds like a hardware failure. Do you by chance have a USB CD-ROM around that you can try instead? If the disks work fine there, or in someone else's computer, then your...

Hello,

Wild guess: the encoding on the CSI disks are of a compression scheme that is very intense, and the laptop was working very hard to display the movie.

Christian

Hello,

I am sure there is. My G3 Lombardi will tell me when the battery is getting low, and I know I can go to a control panel, and enable the battery gauges on the menubar.

Not having a...

Hello,

It sounds to me that your OS X disks are corrupt. Try cleaning them.

Then again, 10.1 had a number of problems.... I remember killing my OS X 10.1 installation and running with...

Hello,

I use Roxio Toast for all of my disk burning needs. I have not tried to copy a DVD Movie though... I only have one device. Not certain if copy protection schemes are involved either.
...

Hello,

It sounds to me that the computer is stuck sleeping. Disconnect the power, and all the batteries. Let it sit "dead" for a minute or two. Then try to power it back up.

Hope that...

Hello,

Do you have any USB hubs in the circuit? USB has a power sensitivity issue... each device can only draw so much power, and then you overload the bus. I have not seen this problem, but...
