17" Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.10) dial up service

I have "dial-up" service & would like to connect wirelessly using my Airport Base Station. Presently I am
hard-wired to my computer from the phone jack. My computer does see the Airport base station(I see the signal strength indicator. I cannot connect though. I have a 17" Powerbook, a 15" Powerbook & a
17" Imac G5. All have built-in wireless capability. What am I doing wrong or missing? I thought I could simply turn on the Airport base station... find it on the computer & connect. Apparently I am wrong.
Please help!!!

geopapa, Welcome to the discussion area!
Since you posted in this area, I assume that you have the round AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) with built-in 56k modem?
If so, you need to connect the AEBS's modem port to the analog telephone line. Configure the AEBS to connect to your dial-up ISP.

I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 and can no longer use the thumb/finger spreading feature on the trackpad of my Mac Powerbook (Mac OSX 10.6.7) to enlarge text on websites. How do I restore this function?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

Tiger, Panther, powerbook, mac mini & iPod problem...

Is it possible to connect my Powerbook (running on 10.3.9) to my Mac Mini (10.4.1), so they can swap files and/or connect to the internet?
Here's the story:
I just bought a new ipod classic.
It only runs on my mac mini... however my mac mini isn't connected to the internet.
(not wireless and only hard line is already taken)
My laptop is wireless and has internet access.
I want to transfer the pictures and movies I've downloaded on my powerbook to the mac mini, and/or use the powerbook's wireless connection to get online with the mac mini.
But I don't know how or if it's even possible as they're on two different operating systems...
Does anyone know?
Thanks!

Adobe reader for powerbook mac 10.4.11

I scan the forms i use for work and open them in adobe reader x to add text into them. The version is not compatible with my mac os x 10.4.11 powerbook. Is there another adobe reader i can download into my powerbook to do this? It is so convenient and I can save them into my flash drive to cover my work. Please help.

I agree with everyone.
You could easily install OS X 10.5 Leopard or 10.6 Snow Leopard. If you install 4 GBs of RAM, your iMac will see 3 out of 4 GBs of that RAM and should be enough to run either one.
I would opt to install OS 10.6 Snow Leopard because it will be easier to obtain and cheaper to buy.
You can still find OS X 10.5 Leopard, but you'll pay quite a bit more for the retail discs as it's a much older OS X release.
Good Luck on your decision.

I5 Powerbook, Mac OS 10.6.4, CS4 Web Premium... it's just horrible...

Started having problems with Fireworks. Interface/workspace would disappear. Tried switching to Application Frame, threw an error. Uninstalled Fireworks and reinstalled, same issue. Error, once the Updater ran. It looks like it (Fireworks) was fine until the updater ran. Tried launching Dreamweaver... don't even get me started on the interface problems. Workspaces won't appear... I switch from "Coder" to "Classic" and everything completely disappears. The only way to get panels to come back is to quit Dreamweaver and restart.
I'm on my second complete removal of all CS4 AND preference files and still nothing. The two pieces of software I actually NEED to work aren't working at all... can someone, anyone, help?

Okay, I've uninstalled every Adobe product on my computer. Flash, AIR, the works. I've removed every Adobe preference file I could find, and anything in Application Support.
I've done a custom install of CS4. I left out Version Cue and Drive. I have NOT run the updater. I've started Dreamweaver and Fireworks and the whole interface issues I've had with both APPEAR to be gone.
I'm now scared to run the update.
I'll give it a shot knowing that I can always go through this process again. However, if I run this update, and the issue comes back, I'm contacting Adobe some way and seeing what my resolution options are.
Has anyone else experienced this "Disappearing Panels" issue before? It's *incredibly* frustrating as it renders the entire working interface unusable and therefore, the usability of the application just evaporates. I can't work at all. Fireworks was the worst. I'd create a new document and the document would be at the absolute "0,0" position on the mac. We're talking BEHIND the menu, including the Apple menu. I couldn't even GET to the menu bar to "pull" it down below the OS menu. It would just be stuck up behind the application.
I can't POSSIBLY be the only one experiencing this, right?

The sound often fails on my new PowerBook Mac Retina and a restart is necessary. How to fix this?

The sound often fails on my new MacBook Pro/ Retina and a restart is necessary. How to fix this?

Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

How can I clone my powerbook mac to an mac mini and keep adobe serials

All I want is a back up of my macbook pro to use on a daily basis.
The adobe products are from a previous empoyer who went bust and I just want to copy them across - O have tried time machine but this give licensing problems with adobe and I can't get the serials.
Any adice appreciated?
Thanks

the safest way would be to
use e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your MBP's startup disk to an external HD
use Setup Assistant to migrate everything from the clone to the Mini - even if it means to wipe the Mini's HD and reinstall Mac OS in order to be able to use SA.
i would not recommend to use Migration Assistant.

So it seems to be problems with the webkit!
Can somebody help me? I do not want to make a new installation!

Hi
like the report says...
Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit
that file is damaged/corrupted & must be replaced.
It's part of the safari install, no doubt - so if Installer still works, reapplying the 4.1.3 update may get you sorted. If not - get Pacifist from http://charlessoft.com/ & use that to apply the Safari 4.1.3 package. ( you could very likely extract/replace just that one file, but it'd take longer )
In any event, check your HD out using Disk Utility while booted from the dvd, to eliminate directory structure damage.

ITunes match does not work on my iPhone 4S, but is working across all of my other Macs and iOS devices. All other iCloud services are working fine on the 4S - any suggestions?

iTunes match is not working on my iPhone 4S; it works awesome across all of my Macs and other iOS devices (iPad 2, iPod Touch 4g x 2, and my wife's iPhone 4). Any suggestions? Thanks!

It is not possible to "toggle back and forth" at will. If you associate a device with an Apple ID and you have iTunes Match enabled you must wait 90 days before you can associate it with another Apple ID. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

I am switching from PC to MAC but I cant get thru to customer service and am on hold for over 2 hrs.

How do I switch???

You can contact our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. They can do a search on your serial number to find the account you registered your software under. Please keep in mind that the platform swap process is only available for the current version. Since you are indicating that you have Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5 you would need to purchase an upgrade or a new copy of the Student and Teacher edition whichever is cheaper.
You may also want to consider the Creative Cloud as we do have an educational price available for this subscription service and it includes both of the applications you have indicated. It is also multi-platform so you can use it on Mac and Windows. You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html?promoid=JQPEQ.

I Mac intel freezes when attempting to dial.

Need to know the cause of i mac crashing or freezing when I try to connect to internet via dial up. Does the same when I go to network preferences and check on settings using the assistant. Computer works fine otherwise. I may be the cause of this problem as I was moving files and folders from my i book via firewire and migration app. This problem came about right after the transfer.

It could be the modem or the transfer of the files.
I suggest you look at other posts in the iMac Networking forum for ideas as I don't know what to suggest. They may be able to tell you which preference file to delete so that you use a new one rather than one that was transferred.
In System Preferences have you made sure in the Network area that the right model of Apple Modem is selected?

Downloading Mac updates through a windows pc

Is it possible to download OS X, iLife and other firmware updates to a windows pc, burn a disc and then copy to a mac for updating? We have a new mac at home with the slowest dial-up service in the west. However, I have DSL at work on a pc.
Is this possible or am I just asking for file corruption problems?
Thanks,
20" iMac (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Should work fine. Just don't try and open the files on the PC. Burn them right to disc.
