A tangerine imac walks into a bar...

I just pulled out my old tangerine and graphite iMacs out of storage. They both work fine but I don't have room for them. Are they worth anything? Would anyone take them as a donation? How do I erase all my stuff before I let them go?

Someday I may kick myself, but I gave away my old Bondi Blue Rev.B iMac 233 MHz on Craigslist. I hated to do that but after getting my new 21.5 inch iMac and still keeping my flat panel iMac G4 "iLamp" (still works great after 7 years and I'm running Tiger on it) I just felt like I didn't have the room to start a collection.
I felt really good about the give away. The recipient was a twenty something year old guy in the metro area who is taking some computer courses and had a project to do some programming in Classic Mac (I have no idea why, ha ha). He said he had cut his computer teeth on a Bondi Blue growing up but that his machine had finally bitten the digital dust. He came and picked up the old iMac and I even threw in a couple of old Classic Mac trouble shooting books I had no use for. Oh, and I even threw in a Conflict Catcher disk (that gives me chills to even think of the extension conflicts we used to have to fight in Classic Mac!). Of course I gave him all the Mac OS disks that came with the iMac and I gave him my retail OS 9 disk that I had used to upgrade with.
That's my experience with giving away an old iMac.

A Mac, a PC, a Treo, a Tour and an Exchange Server walk into a bar...

I've been a Palm user for over ten years. Yesterday my boss told me that I'd be getting a data plan for my Verizon phone and I could stick with my Treo or he'd upgrade me to a Blackberry. I've had my Treo for 14 months, well, I've had a Treo for 14 months, but 6 different ones because the stupid things keep breaking. It didn't take a whole lot of time to make the decision to switch to a Blackberry.
So here's the situation...
I am a tried and true Mac devotee. I have a Mac laptop and a desktop, and do the majority of my personal and creative work on the laptop. I am also a programmer, so have a PC laptop as well. My work computer is a PC (of course) and our email and calendar is hooked up to an Exchange server.
My boss sync'd my Tour to the Exchange server this morning and I am getting my work emails, etc with no problems.
I have the Palm desktop on my Mac and my PC, and both are sync'd with my Treo. I need to get all of my contacts into my Tour, and I'd like to get the Blackberry desktop on at least my Mac laptop so that I have a fully sync'd calendar on it since it's the computer I usually have with me.
When I back my Treo up, all of my text messages, images, notes, etc are backed up by the Palm software as well - is there a way to port those into the Blackberry as well? Are any applications compatible between the two?
I also have a fantastic program on my Treo called NVBackup that runs on a schedule that backs up the entire phone every 24 hours so that if the phone dies all you have to do is pop the memory card out, put it in a new phone and it will reinstall everything. Is there a similar program for the Blackberry?
Thanks!!

At this moment I can recieve email thru the exchange server, the Mac shows its connected to the exchange server but I cannot send or reply to an email, and the incoming and outgoing server is the same freaking server! My simple iphone syncs seeemlessly with my servers, email, calendars and contacts. It makes no sense. Any suggestions?
iPhones connect to Exhange servers via ActiveSync, whereas Mac OS X Mail (as does Entourage EWS and Outlook 2011) connect via Exchange Web Services (I've read it's due to rather licensing issues for ActiveSync that prevents Apple from using it on OS X as well, but that's unconfirmed). So what works with one has little bearing on what works or doesn't work on the other.
Anyway, we'll see if we can come up with any ideas. Let's start with basics: what version of Exchange is running on the server and what version of Mac OS X is your MacBook running? And does this problem happen when you're connected directly to the company network, or only when you're connecting via another provider?

A Time Capsule, Airport Express and AT&T 2Wire walk into a bar...

Alas, I'm sure this question has been asked before, but my reserach keeps turning up separate answers. So I thought I'd turn to this forum for some advice. Ultimately I'm seeks suggestions on various ways to configure my network to allow easy backups, connection two rooms, and wirelessly print from anywhere.
I have a:
Time Capsule (dual band) - used for Time Machine backups
Airport Express (older)
and new 2Wire 3800HGV-B wireless modem/router from AT&T (for U-verse internet/TV)
My room configuration is:
Living room with TV, internet connected DVD player, and new AT&T 2Wire Wireless U-verse modem
Home office with 2 desktop comptuers (no wireless cards) and a USB printer.
Two roaming laptops which move around the rest of the house
The livingroom and the office can't be connected with a physical wire.
What I was hoping to do was setup my office with the Time Capsule in the office as a wired hub, and then use it as a wirelessly bridge to the 2Wire network. But as I understand it, a Time Capsule can't be used as a bridge to a non-Apple product. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Alternately I could always get wireless cards for the desktop computers, but this leaves the printer.
I've read suggesitons of people who have used their TC as the primary router, disabling wireless on their AT&T 2Wire, and hooking the two together with ethernet. Others who just join the TC to the 2Wireness network. But really what I'm seeking is a way to join the two rooms.
Any thoughts? Am I asking the right questions or providing the right information?
Much thanks,
dana.

So I figured I'd go with an initial suggestion and attached my TC via ethernet to the 2Wire modem/router in my living room, and make the TC my primary wireless router.
Good plan
since both will be in the same room, I assume I need to disable wireless on the 2Wire
Correct
What kind of configuration do I need to do on the TC, or do I just following the wizard and select 'Extend existing network'?
You can follow the guided setup or I can give you a step by step manual setup. In either case, you will configure the TC to "Create a wireless network".
("Extend" is only used if the TC connects using wireless only....you will be using Ethernet from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2-Wire to the WAN port (world icon) on the TC.
The guided setup will normally sense that the TC is connected to another router and suggest that the TC be configured in Bridge Mode, which is the correct setting. Otherwise, select the Bridge Mode option when it is presented.
Note....If you have a newer dual band TC, the Guest Network option cannot be enabled when the TC is configured in Bridge Mode. So, if you want a "Guest" network, maybe the 2-Wire could provide that service.
Should I attach this (via ethernet) to the TC or the 2Wire?
Pick a LAN <-> port on either one, your choice, whichever is easier
What should the AT&T DVR be connected to?
I'm not familiar with an AT&T DVR, but if it connects via Ethernet, you can connect to a LAN <-> port on either the 2-Wire or the TC
For printing, my plan is to attach the printer through USB to the Airport Express and then connect that wirelessly to the TC network (though my first attempt at this failed to connect).
Suggest that you get the TC up and working smoothly. Then tackle the Express.

10.4.8, Bonjour, an Epson printer and a network all walk into a bar...

Just Kidding, but I do have a real problem.
I have two macbooks, networked through an actiontec router/dsl modem wirelessly, and an Epson printer connected to one of them via a usb cable. Now, the macbook connected to the printer physically can print, but the other one, although it sees it via bonjour, can not print to it. It keeps coming back with a communication error.
when I connected my iBook to the network, it saw the printer as well, and after selecting it in my printer preferences, it even said it was printing, but nothing ever printed.
Am I missing a step or what?

Drivers ... you have a Macbook and perhaps the installed drivers are not compatible with Intel.
Have a look to see if there are any updates. Even download from Epson's web site and try reinstalling them on non-printing macs anyway. Always worth a go..
Good luck.

Why iMac goes into coma booted in Ext HD Tiger hot plugging USB cable?

Folks:
Had this question posted as "iMac goes into deep coma w/hot plugging USB cable??" on the "using your iMac G4" forum, got 63 views but have not received any replies there. Since I was booted up in Tiger 4.11 on my FW Ext HD, thought I'd try to post over here to see if I get some sage advice from this forum.
Was trying to experiment with ways to get my scanner to work if I finally decide to upgrade my iMac to 10.4.11 by booting up Tiger using External HD by firewire and then plugging in the scanner after that. As soon as the USB plug touched the port the computer "went black"--total crash. Took about 5 mins before I was able to resuscitate the machine with the power button. I repeated my experiment in the same manner and down she went again, down and out . . . . Tried to start it for a few minutes, nothing, went to dinner, came back, nothing. Finally, unplugged it for a minute and then she came back to the land of the living . . . .
When I restarted from the 10.1.5 internal HD I plugged the scanner in and opened the scanner app in Classic and all was fine. I like being able to use Classic apps and if it wasn't for the fact that my Camino browser is starting to crash when browsing the newer websites I'd have no reason to upgrade. Even if I get a new Intel computer I won't be able to boot back into the Power PC operating systems, right?
Anyway, would like to know if it is "well known" that you can't hot plug peripherals when booted up in external HD or if this is a "special problem" that only I am experiencing?
Thanks,
e.e.p.

Since the issue could be in the peripherals or the computer involved, this could
be a hardware failure of some kind. If you have replaced the USB cable, and all
other variables have been double or triple-checked, even a problem with the
computer's power supply could be at fault. Or there may be a partial short in one
of the electrical circuits involved with this USB cable and whatever it supports.
Please re-explain these other operating systems and their locations, since the
10.1.5 and other stuff seems irrelevant. Unless there is a hardware failure.
And that is a possibility.
If you got an old early model Intel mac with 10.4.11 running in it, that would not
support Classic OS9 based apps directly. However, there are several sources
for replacement parts and also complete repaired and guaranteed PPC Macs.
There are limits in some, in what OS X versions and practical uses they may
allow now, with less online support & dwindling apps to run on the older OS X.
You may be able to look into the system logs and crash reports, via Console
Utility, to see what kinds of errors reports & crash logs the computer created.
Also, in System Profiler, there should be a Software> Logs section and it may
have some recent activity logs there. You can compare log creation times with
the intervals of these failures and see if a report matches your experience in
a real-time error log or other.
Is this USB port where the failure occurs, located in the external drive enclosure
or in the computer attached to it? What kinds of external FireWire devices and
USB devices are involved? Have you ran just the bare-bones computer & seen if
there are problems in just that, by itself? Troubleshooting invites checking it alone.
If there is an overload of some kind regarding a power supply failure under
only some circumstances, you could try a powered USB hub when using
several items attached to the computer; so it would carry that load.
Anyway, it sounds like a magical mystery tour is in store, in there.
Good luck & happy computing!

Cancelled pre-order and walked into AT&T and got phone

Today, I cancelled my pre-order for my iPhone 4s 64gb AT&T black model. I was then able to walk into an AT&T store and pick up the exact same model (5 days after the original shipment).
The number one reason is because I do believe there is a lack of communication and openness about what is going. I'm an silver reward member and spend a lot of money with best buy but stuff like this makes me want to reconsider where I send my money.
IMHO, what I think happened is that they had a glitch or something on the 64gb model sku and didn't properly get their order in with Apple. Which is why they didn't receive ANY. It doesn't make any sense that AT&T has a surplus of the model and Best Buy had NONE in the exact same city.
Based upon that, I think they are now going to have to wait for the "second round" of phone shipments and my guess that is 4-6 weeks out.
I also don't buy they don't know when they will get them. Actually, they do know (or can find out). They can call Apple up and say when is my next shipment supposed to be in (just like I'm asking best buy). Apple (or whoever is the ultimate supplier) would have to be able to supply Best Buy with the info they need to inform their customers. That's why I think it's the more likely case that they screwed up their order with Apple on the 64gb models and didn't get it in properly (or on time). Or worse yet, they aren't actively calling Apple up and asking for shipment dates and order dates.

We are picking ours up from Apple today. Ours were the 16g white and 32g black, #1 and #2 preorders for Verizon phones. They supposedly got a shipment yesterday but we didn't get an email once they were scanned. They are not that rare. My guess is they didn't get any for Verizon (just like Sprint).
I agree with the lack of communication. I'd wait it our if they told the truth and even through in an extra set of earbuds or something. Geez, we're silver members too (my husband wanted to get teh points from this sale). Oh well, ,hopefully they will learn from this experience.

Tangerine iMac to G5

Hello, is there a way to transfer files from my VERY old tangerine iMac G3 to my iMac G5 via USB? And if so, how do I do it?
Thanks!

I don't think you can conduct a USB transfer without a special "USB bridge" cable. A better and proven solution is using the built-in ethernet.
I moved from a Blueberry iMac to a new iMac G5. I simply hooked the two together with a CROSSOVER ethernet cable (about 8 bucks at Radioshack), tinkered with the file sharing/ethernet on the G5 and then pulled the folders I needed off the G3 to the G5.
Here's a nice little tutorial fromApplelinks.
Hope this helps.

When I am in firefox and I go to google and click on a link, it pops up as something else randomly. The only way it works is by coping the link into address bar

When I am in firefox and I go to google and click on a link, it pops up as something else randomly. The only way it works is by coping the link into address bar. I thought it might be google so I went to bing and it did the same thing. it will not go to the link but instead change to livesearchnow or ihavenet.com
It is really a pain as I search google ALOT. So please someone help. I reset firefox once and even reinstalled it once as well as updated it once. Nothing works.

Adobe Reader plugin on Intel iMac... menu bar gone when viewing pdf?!?!?

I had Adobe Reader 7.0.5 on my iMac G5 and when I clicked on a pdf file, it opened in a new window with a menu bar at the top. Since migrating to my Intel iMac yesterday, the menu bar is gone though pdf pages display... just with blank space where the menu used to be. I downloaded v7.0.8 and installed and the same problem. I have the prefs set to view pdf files in Safari and, again, they view... just no menu bar! Any idea how to fix this?

As far as I know, Adobe Reader (even v7.0.8) isn't Universal yet, which means it [the plugin] probably won't run natively on your Intel iMac unless you run Safari under Rosetta.

My iMac goes into a deep sleep and can not be woken up; it needs to be shut down and restarted.

My Intel iMac goes into a deep sleep and can not be awakened; I need to hold the start button in to force it to shut down and then restart it.
What might be wrong?

Try a very quick momentary press of the power button.

Not much you can do other than to take or send your iPad to Apple and pay their replacement charge.

no you should transcode those files into an format that os suitable for editing. Like proRez. Although you might need some Flip4Mac or perian or something to do the conversion.

Can I install Mac OS X 10.3(jaguar) on a Tangerine iMac G3 333mhz

I was wondering if the Jaguar Mac OS X 10.3 installation disks that I have for an eMac will work on an iMac G3 flavored edition 333mHz computer. Or is there a separate version for this particular iMac? I have it running 10.1 now, but need Safari for the internet. HELP!!! I am not a complete idiot when it comes to macs, but not sure about this as the installation CDs say it is for an eMac.
Thanks to everyone who answers!!!
iMac G3 333mHz Mac OS X (10.1.x) Clueless, well a little bit of a clue

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
10.3 =Panther, not Jaguar.
10.2 = Jaguar.
I was wondering if the Jaguar Mac OS X 10.3 installation disks that I have for an eMac will work on an iMac G3 flavored edition 333mHz computer.
No. You can't install the gray disks from one Mac on another Mac of a different model or vintage.
The Tangerine iMac has some limitations:
1. Firmware must be upgraded while booted in 9 or 8, or your display will go permanently blank:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
2. If you erased 9 or 8, and you find you need a version of 9 or 8 installed, you will need to install the drivers before installing 9 or 8.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75275
which will probably require wiping your hard drive.
3. Hard drives over 8 GB need to be partitioned.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106235
4. Hard drives over 120 GB need to be partitioned as well:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
5. No Firewire means backing up is a pain, and very slow.
Jaguar that will work after the firmware has been updated looks like:
Panther which will work after the firmware has been upgraded looks like:
Considering the difficulty, and your noviceness, I'd say, stay where you are until you can afford a newer Mac.
