Comex and the gang need to push stop on their lives until this jb is complete.

Are you serious?

lucky sf natives and others. i don't see arn. :confused:

Hi all, hope there's some antique mac guru's around here, anyway have a motorola starmax 3000/180 that's had the memory maxed (160mb) sonnett G3 in the L2 slot, running OS 9, the modem port died what i want to do is install a PCI modem but have been unable to find any info on this either compatible models or drivers i realize this is an antique suitable for a doorstop but here in Bugtussle where i live 56k is as good as it gets and this unit has been more reliable than a trusty dog for 5+ years i know i can use the printer port for another external modem but i'd really rather have an internal one if possible

Hey a friend of mine has one of those Starmax things and needs to get rid of it. Also needs me to take the information off the hard drive, but either the monitor is not plugged in right or doesn't work. I'm at a loss as to how to get something to plug into it. What would you suggest? And I'm sure it would be yours for shipping if you would walk me through things. It has been sitting for years, but does power up.

I think embedded gps is an excellent feature for a camera(phone).

If you check out smugmug (http://www.smugmug.com/hack/maps-overview), they have the ability to mash up your photos to google maps - but you currently have to tell it where each picture was taken. With embedded gps information in the metadata of the photo, this could work automatically (or as steve would say - "otomatically").

Hi all,

So I have that other thread regarding which, between a G4 iMac and G5 Powermac, I am going to possibly purchase, but I'm a little uneasy about the lack of OS discs. Googling and Craigslisting has a plethora of people who have discs for purchase, but isn't it kind of machine-specific? Where or how would I go about having a safe backup in the event I need/want to reinstall OSX.4? I looked on Apple's site as well and couldn't really find the answer... I realize as I'm getting closer to purchasing an older Mac for my theatre's playback system, not having the install discs if something happens makes me nervous!

Thanks for your help!

I guess I am out of luck. I have no clue how to remove the DRM on the original app. I am so kicking myself in the butt for updating it. UGH.

Mine is a Imac G3 DV I think it meets them requirements. I had the same trouble trying to install OSX10.2 having said that it boots up fine from my Mac osx9 CD. I cant even get into the 10.2 or 10.3 CDs

i don't consider myself quite retarded enough to warrant replacing them.

I've had account on here forever but only browse much, I was wondering if any of you have seen this before. It was given to me by a swiss friend who didn't really want the sign anymore.

I am thinking about selling it, only thing is the display looks as if it was made for european outlets and when I was given this he said that the bulb would need to be replaced. I've never really seen anything like this before either, since I would guess that the sign was before the Apple retail store days. I am not sure if I am allowed to ask but how much would something like this even go for?

Burn baby burn....:D

i haven't tried this yet, but if it's true, i'm basically the happiest person ever.
nice erase those gaps

but i'm sure apple is only being nice cause they want our money

But you know the more you try to erase it.... the more

the more... the more you can.


Love that album. And it just looks so great when scrolling through.... too bad its almost dead last.

whats new??? so apple isnt telling us exactly what is in our machines. last time i checked apple didt tell us that the DVD burners in our systems are capable of doing DVD-RW. why would they tell us that they are using a different manufacturer??? and, oh no!!! more formats!!! they better not tell us and add to the value of buying a mac

Man, and I always believed the turtle-necks were for covering up the Microsoft logo Bill Gates made him tattoo in the back of the neck in the early 80s... :p <-- Now, how is that for a rumour...? ;-)

Either they abuse their phones or are a member of the new generation who think that if a phone is 2 years old, it's on it's "last leg".

I told a friend of mine today who is thinking about buying the iPhone 4 but is worried about all this "outdated technology" talk that if he does and still has the phone 3 or 4 years from now, he'll still have a great phone.

1. My 3GS is starting to have radio reception issues. I don't pick up the 3G network most of the time now, and I've had to switch back to EDGE only in order to avoid the "Searching..." and "No Service."

It's not inconceivable for phones to have parts that stop working after two years of consistent use.

2. The iPhone 4 will be outdated tech by this time next year. Apple drops support for older models as they go, either with key features of iOS upgrades or the entire software suite. It'll lack access to LTE, which will mean certain apps will run poorly or not at all, and it'll almost certainly be prevented from running some software that gets designed over the next year for the iPad 2 and new iPhone 4S processor.

But, whatever -- keep giving your friend baseless advice.

It is always good to have another option even if a dangerous one...

Movist is Universal and should run on a PPC Mac and in 10.5.8: http://code.google.com/p/movist/

HOW much?
I got it for $185, so I think $100 sounds pretty fair.

i keep getting a message that says iTunes 9 or above necessary for control panel to be installed. I have iTunes 9.1... oh well. generally speaking, so far MobileMe unimpressive, counterintuitive and seems almost un-Apple-like; I have to search for things that should already happen automatically. I dont know. I have a Mac, too; will probably have to figure it out thru that.

I like the design of these better than the G5, and I don't want to spend several hundred dollars more on something that I don't like as well. I want to get the absolute fastest one they made. Would that be a 20" 1Ghz model? Any known issues on these machines? I will be using it for freelance graphic design work. For the last year and a half, I have used my 12" 800mHz G4 ibook (640mb ram), so I know performance will not be an issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I save a Pages document in Word format and when I open it in Word there are 2 extra pages, the original document has 2 pages full of word lines.
Word is seeing the document with 5 extra lines for each page, therefore the two page document is now 4 pages in Word.

The paper size is the same: letter.
The margins are also the same.
The formatting seems to be the same: font size, paragraphs, bullets and tabs.

The versions I am using are Pages '09 and Word 2011.

My question is if you have any idea on how to make the document the same in Word with only 2 pages.
I need to create this document in Word.

Good advice so far.

One other thing. Photoshop needs a scratch disk. Dedicate the first partition (I think about 50GB?) of one of your fast internal disks as the scratch disk. The drive should not be the one that has your applications, or OS on it. I use the same drive that has my image library. Basically you want the disk to be available only to PS when it needs it.

Good Luck.

If you go with a current Mac Pro, and if you put images on an external drive, make sure it's FW 800 drive. The speed increase over USB is well worth it. Unless it's your back up drive, 'cause nobody cares how long the backup takes at 3am.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a Mac Pro (unless I absolutely needed to) unto the just released Thunder Bolt technology made it into the Mac Pros. The current best info is that TB will not be an add-in card into current Mac Pros.

If the new Mac Pros with TB are too pricey, the older (now the current versions) Mac Pros will be discounted. I think a lot of professionals are going to hold off buying a new Mac Pro until the TB enabled ones come out. Apple is going to need to clear the old stock.

all of this imho, of course.... and worth every penny you paid for it...

OK.

Well, first off, you cannot have both OS's on the RAID card. OS X would boot from the card, but Windows will not. This is why the Windows disk must be attached to the ICH (it's been tried unsuccessfully with multiple cards from different brands).

But with this configuration, you will be able to use the Boot Loader built into the MP's firmware to select which OS you want to boot (still have to set the OS X boot disk under System Preferences). Windows is done during the installation process (you select the disk location, and that gets set in the Boot Loader).

Take a look at Apple's Boot Camp page (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/) for further information (How To Guide).

Assuming you mean to use the ICH for the Windows disk (backplane connector that's meant for the empty ODD bay), see above.

To access the Boot Loader Menu, hold down the Option key during startup (brings up the installed OS's), and select which one you want to use.


The kit includes a means of getting power to the disks (connects to the connector on the backplane board <one with the PCIe slots>, where the drives normally connect to <both power and data to the ICH>). So you get up to 4 of these (part of why you need to pay attention to the part number you order from MaxUpgrades).

It's meant to get up to 4x HDD's attached to a 3rd party RAID card (includes all the parts needed to do this, such as cables and custom trays that are shallower in order for the cables to fit).

In short, it will do what you need (has been used successfully many times). Just make sure you order the right part (both system's model year as well as the disk count - it's not hard, but do pay attention or you may get the wrong one).


Ideally, run both. So if the budget allows for it, get it.

BTW, make sure the UPS uses a pure sine wave inverter, not a stepped unit (i.e. SmartUPS series from APC). There are another type beginning to ship (PWM based steps = more of them, so it better approximates a sine wave). But for about the same cost, you can get a true sine wave unit in the refurbished market if you look.

Thanks.

So I have now upgraded the Mac Pro with 2x X5690 and they work great. Only thing concerning me is the temperature for processor A is like 6 degrees higher when idle (B 28, A 33) and up to 12 degrees celcius higher when stress testing in Prime95 in OSX. Using iStat, it unfortunately shows only the average temp for all cores on any one CPU and not temp for each core. Is these anything available for OSX that will show all core temps?

I doubt it's a case of heatsink having poor contact with CPU due to thermal grease having gaps etc. Because the temperatures are still in the norm, it's just that CPU B is really cool. After about 15 min in Prime95 it sort of averages 63 for CPU B and 72 for CPU A and these 1366 chips can safely do 78/80 as far as I recall.

Not worth remounting you reckon ? I applied even amounts of MX-4 to both chips and covered their surface entirely.

Also I understand bootcamp does not work with RAID volumes but is there a utility available for OSX that would allow me to partition my 4x 3TB RAID5 volume as such: 4TB HFS partition and the other 4TB in NTFS. I want that RAID5 space to not only be available to OSX but also to Windows 7 that will be installed on the other SSD.

I can't believe 3G is new for the Americans.

Land of the free indeed....:p

Indeed...the US mobile industry is probably the crappiest in the whole world...but this is no surprise...they also assert the following:

- "american football" is the real football;

- America means one country;

- "U.S. champion" means "World champion".

So no surprises here...move along, citizens...
