Hey guys,
I have a powermac g4 digital audio I believe, 700 mhz processor. I also have 2 powermac g3's I believe the fastest that created. 400 mhz or something like that. I have another g4 with the 350 processor that I can test the power control which with but it would be a pain because my grandparents are using it so it would take a while to get it unhooked/dug out, they use it as a paper holder behind a desk cords and everything are ran through the desk.
Here's my 3 questions:
1. The Powermac g4 when you push the power button it lights up but when you release it goes out. The logicboard does not respond. Should I buy a new power control module or is there a way to use the one from the g3, it looked different at first glance.
2. To run a home server is it better to run a g4 with the faster processor or a g3 with more ram, the g3 has 4 slots the g4 only 3.
3. Best way to use as a media server I was thinking put everything into itunes and use the homesharing, is that available in tiger? Is that the best way to do it?
It will be used with apple tv, macbook, powerbook, ibook, imac g5, xbox 360?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Here's the short version:
1. Which powermac to use as a server?
2. Best way to do media server?
1.) The logic board is fried. (Don't buy a new one)
2.) Niether, you probably don't need a server and even if you do a G3 or G4 is simply to slow for the job. Buy yourself a bottom of the line Mac Mini with an external RAID 1 drive for your media server "needs". Also make sure you get 4GBs minimum on the RAM.
3.) Get 10.5/10.6 if you have intel and run something like Plex.
Cheers

The Optimum app was working fine for a few days when I was at home on my wireless network. As of last night I started getting an error which reads "you must be connected to your home network and signed in to watch Live TV".
Also yesterday I was finally able to connect via VPN from a wifi hot spot but got the same error message. So now I have 2 issues.
I can't connect from every wifi hotspot I try, only certain ones
I now can't connect to LIVE TV either at home or over vpn when away from home.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Mine is working fine at home and outside through VPN. Call cablevision customer support and let them know. Maybe something change on the backend.

Hey Nick, I'm in the same situation as the OP.

I want to get the juice pack air (since I need the extra battery life) and I want to be sure I get the best sound.
(Remember we're talking about recording video+sound, not playing music or video..I'm sure the speaker box is great for that)

Group,
In my opinion the Classic are is listed incorrectly in regards to categories and lists. While the data is mostly all correct, we have most of the early Macintosh models listed under "Macintosh (Original series)" and a separate section with Performa and Workgroup servers.
In my opinion if we separate the Performa series and Workgroup servers, we should also separate the rest of the group. In most cases when someone states "Original Macintosh" in the collector discussions that would most always only include the compact Macintosh models like the 128, 512, plus, and perhaps SE, Classic, and Color Classic models.
I seriously think we should move these "other" categories up one level and list them as follows to make it more clear, and concise.
Example
68K Desktops
Macintosh (Original series)
Inside this link would list...
128k
512k
ETC..etc..etc..
Macintosh II Series
inside this link would list...
II
IIx
ETC..etc..etc..
Macintosh LC series
inside this link would list...
LC
LCII
ETC..etc..etc..
Macintosh Performa Series
Macintosh Workgroup Servers
I think you get the point of were I am going with this. My only point for bringing this up, is due to the fact that we are getting lots of categories with nested sub categories. We should first create a hierarchical listing that is flat, and nest within that detailed information containing the specific models within the noted series.

i was wondering why there wasn't any particular 9/11 thread. i only actually realised what date it was a few mins ago..
on the day..i was in school - we started our lesson at 2.40 - the teacher came in and explained what had happened. i think after a while most staff realised nobody was going to do any work so they shuffled us all (everyone aged 13-18, so around 800 of us) into the main hall and hooked up a projector to the tv.
i remember everything like it was just yesterday. everyone trying to look for an excuse to get off school the next day.. :rolleyes:
one thing that's always really bad with events like this is the uncertainty. nobody ever really has the facts at the start (even the news channels) so your imagination runs kinda wild..

Firstly, I am new to the forums and my first post and subsequent updates manageed to P!$$ off a lot of people so I hope I get this one right!
I am a convert from Windows to PC and as such still learning!
I have a mobile broadband dongle from T-Mobile (UK) which I have had for a number of years now and it has worked, consistently, extremely well on my windows based laptop. This was not the case when I plugged it in to my 13" MacBook Pro that I have just purchased as part of my conversion.
I concluded I must be doing something wrong.
The modem is a Huawei E220 and I have done all the firmware upgrades etc that all the other forums seem to suggest.
The last suggestion from T-Mobile was that I utilise a more up to date broadband dongle to install the latest connection manager software on to my MBP. I have done this.
I now have no error messages when I plug the dongle in to the MBP and I know the driver is OK etc because I do manage to connect and surf the web etc.
My issue is that after a short period of time (this can vary between 1min and 5mins) the Dongle appears to hang or freeze.
The light on the dongle remains blue but no data is transferring.
I have installed little snitch also which shows me the red outgoing data but no green incomming on the little display in the menu bar.
I have made assumptions that the driver, connection manager, firmware, little snitch or firewall etc are all ok because I am gettign a connection at some point for a short period of time.
I was wondering if anyone has had similar issues or can indeed assist me in the resolution?
I am wondering if it is a setting on the MBP because of the device failing after a period of time?
The OS id Snow Leopard and I believe I am up to date with my software releases.
Any help gratefully received !

Uhhh... The USS Missouri (BB-11) was commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1919. She was part of the Great White Fleet, and had her cage masts fitted somewhere around 1909.
Ship's names get reused, y'know. I'm not talking about the Missouri you're thinking of.

Well, I stand corrected. Not too familiar with ships that old. I've only deployed on 11 of them! :)

This has not really been the case, though. When VHS was replaced by DVD, you didn't get the new media for free. Being locked into a particular platform occurs all the time--toner cartridges for printers aren't standardized, for example. I can't use Comcast's on demand to buy programs, then switch to DirecTV and have them transferred. When I buy the latest video game, it doesn't come packaged with PS2, PC, Mac, and XBOX versions.
See the theme? If you choose a limited hardware platform, you must accept the constraints of that platform. CDs are universal because the standard was universal (Sony, Philips, etc. formed a consortium from the get-go)--multiple manufacturers make CD players. Here, the content is the same but the packaging is different--cassette, CD, M4A. Only Apple makes M4A players.
By purchasing a song from iTunes, you are receiving the file with limitations. The reason for the price is bundling. If you want a product with no restrictions, which you want to use to the fullest extent of fair use (or beyond, if you so choose), you have to look elsewhere. You're not being denied fair use when you rent a movie on VHS for $2 when the DVD rental is $4...and you don't get to rent the VHS, then make a DVD just to save $2. Likewise, you're not paying for an unrestricted copy of the song on iTunes, and you aren't entitled to treat it as such using "fair use" as an excuse.
If you want unencumbered music, pay for the CD. If you want instant gratification and a lower price, then be an adult and accept the DRM. The option you want is out there and legally available--it's just that CDs are a "bad value." Likewise, iTunes tracks are probably a "bad value" to many people who think 99 cents should entitle them to DRM-free files. Should DRMed digital files be cheaper? I think so. But that's no excuse to go beyond the clear and publicized terms of my payment.
Nobody wants to buy things twice, but that's no excuse. I have piles of spare tools that fit cars I no longer own; toner cartridges for printers I no longer own; memory cards for cameras I no longer own; and floppy disks for computers I no longer own. Each time I switch companies, I have to deal with the consequences of my prior purchases.
Bravo Bravo Bravo my friend!;)

I played with this idea a year or two ago when an application came out that allowed you to add a peice of text as a contact. Plain text was easy just split it up and feed it in. But unfortunately in my original Ipod if you have any more than a page or two of text in a contact it scrolls really slowly... Slower than I can read. I then looked in to the documentation of formating text on a ipod with perhaps writing a converter from rtf as I had dozen or so ebooks in the format, Uggh!. In the end I decided haveing a ebook as 200 contacts and with a lot of work to get it formated on a tiny screen was way to hard and Took a laptop on holiday instead:)
Still have a couple of ebooks on my ipod and I still havent read 1 of them.

Hello Guys:cool:
I bought Iphone 3G from Ebay locked to At&t and i live in Europe so i can not find At&t to activate it.
Now i want to know how can i unlock it and how to know BB modem.
Note: i did not receive it yet.
You do need to know what firmware currently on the phone so you can jailbreak it. Since you don't know what firmware on it and you do not want to upgrade/restore it to the latest firmware which is 4.2.1 because if you do, the baseband will also upgrade and therefore you can't unlock unless you go with the ipad baseband.
So, here is what you can do;
1. Download 3G 3.1.2 firmware to your PC.
2. Download redsn0w 0.9.4 to your PC
3. Restore your Iphone to 3.1.2 firmware.
4. Jailbreak/hactivate it with redsn0w and it will bring your phone to home screen.
5. Once your phone is at home screen. Go to Setting/General/about and find out what "modem firmware" you have on the phone.
From there, we can guide you to the next step on how to unlock your phone.

I will let everyone know how it goes! BTW MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev Team is pretty sure we can stop apple from revoking the unlock using SAM. Plus the only way Apple can revoke an unlock is during the update/restore process.

My modified original plan is for a Mac Pro:
1. 120 SSD for my boot drive, including OS and software: bay 1
2. 320 GB- 500 GB to backup the boot drive: bay 2.
3. 500 GB-750GB drive for photo storage and scratch disc: bay 3
4. the OEM 1 TB to backup the photo/scratch disc drive: bay 4.
...
Another question, SR20DETDOG stated I do not need a 7200 rpm drive for storage and that makes sense, but if I am using the drive as storage and scratch disc, then should I buy a 7200 rpm drive?

I have a iMac and use mobile me for my email. I am wondering if archiving my email will speed things up in the mail section or the mac overall. I have a ton of email that I keep in folders that are years old. I keep them for serial numbers for software I bought and so on. Then there are attachments to some emails such as family emails. I have about 10 GB in my mail folder under my library section under my user name. Should I consider archiving my email and how does that affect the email searching , say if I wanted to look up a email for a serial number? What are the steps on how to do it? Is there a article or can someone tell me how to do it?
