Another iBook question

OK, I am in the process of getting ahold of a white 500mhz G3 iBook. Does anyone know.. will the power adapter from a 300mhz clamshell work with the 500mhz white model? Are they interchangeable?
On the back of the charger his is the information it lists.
AC Adapter for Apple iBook and Powerbook G3 series, Part No. M7332

Some of the first model iBook G3 500MHz white models shipped with the
'yo-yo' AC adapter, and shortly thereafter, it seemed the offered replacement
of similar specs was a white cube model. The white cube power adapter has
the familiar illuminated power plug for the computer; the old yo-yo did not.
And some of those yo-yo models had different sized power-out ends; so not
all would interchange on the computer end of the cable. Some may also have
different output power. I had both kinds of power adapters, so I inspected them
My early iBook G3 500MHz (May 2001) had the custom moulded styrofoam
packing it shipped with, and the location in the original box was for a yo-yo...
The plug tip for that adapter was correct, same as the newer has one now.
{So that is what I sold mine with, since it still worked fine and did not overheat.
In the box, with original software, book, & with later upgrade OS install discs.}
However, those all have part numbers on them and there had been a Support
page at Apple's site showing those old adapters. It was there 4 years ago...
The more recent page does not show the old early 'yo-yo' original equipment.
And the newer design has the illuminated DC-out tip, with different shape.
You could probably find a working example of the white 45/65w adapter inexpensively.
• PowerPC-Based Apple Portables: +Identifying the right power adapter & cord+ (US)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1565?viewlocale=en_US
So, to get and use a known good 'correct part number' would be the best idea.
I'm always on the look-out for a spare adapter, cables, cords, USB keyboards, s/w
and other stuff. And I've found the 65w adapter in clean working condition, used;
for as little as $3.50 more than once. The adapter works best with their long cord.
The early 45w adapter (white) uses 2-prong plug AC cord; later they went 3-prong.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can I swap my hard drive to another ibook g3?

    My screen has broken [liquid damage] and to get it fixed it'll cost £100-£300 and I don't know if it's just the screen gone. It will be cheaper probably to buy a new ibook off ebay and sell my ibook in parts. But I'll need to back up my 60gb hard drive. Firstly, how do I do that? If I remove it will my data all be gone? Can I install that in another ibook g3 [whether of same speed and RAM or not]? The hard drive is seemingly undamaged because the computer still turns on and surely you need data from that to power up - or at least it means the logic board is fine.
    Anyway, how do I back it up? Would it actually be better buying a new ibook off ebay - do I need the exact same specifications as mine in order to swap hard drives if that's possible
    thanks

    Steph,
    First what kind of liquid? Coffee, coke, wine and the like can be very corrosive to minute electrical traces on the motherboard.
    the liquid went onto the top part of the keyboard where the speakers and power buttons are found but may have got into the inner edge of the screen and obviously with that not going on it has broken it.
    Not necessarily the LCD but the cables for the LVDS and inverter go through that area. Also liquid in that area can easily find it's way to the logic board and that could be fatal. I intend to post instructions on dealing with liquid problems. First of all iBooks should have all power pulled and necessary drying out procedures initiated before attempting power up.
    the cursor is not moving so i guess that has broken and so i can't test if the keyboard is working because i can't get logged on. the battery has decharged itself so somehow liquid has got into whatever powers that up, maybe the adapter port as that's on the side?! it does still power up, i can hear it whirring, does that mean that the logic board is still ok? and when you said that if i have a working logic board i can recover data that way, does that mean if i put my logic board from my ibook into a new one, my data would still be on it?
    Your data is on the hard drive.
    and with the powering up but no screen image does it also mean that the hard drive is still intact?
    Probably. Will it go into target mode as in my first post?

  • Another newb question: multiple virtual servers

    Hi, I have yet another ignorant question. I have several unrelated web projects that I am working on, and I would like to be able to set up a virtual server for each one for testing purposes, such as: http://project1, http://project2, http://project3. Can someone tell me if this is doable, and if there are any tutorials/resources on this for someone who has 0 experience running a web serer? Sorry for being so ignorant!

    Yes, it is doable.
    You can setup virtual server either by IP or by name.
    If you have one IP, and want to set them up by name (ex. http://project1, http://project2, http://project3) you can do so easily with this type of configuration:
    <virtual-server>
        <name>mydomain</name>
        <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
        <host>*.mydomain.com</host>
        <document-root>/www/domain</document-root>
      </virtual-server>
      <virtual-server>
        <name>myotherdomain</name>
        <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
        <host>*.myotherdomain.com</host>
        <document-root>/www/myotherdomain</document-root>
      </virtual-server>
    ....The important part here is that
    a) all virtual servers share the same HTTP listener
    b) which virtual server serves the request depends on the $HOST request header send by the client. Sun Web Server does the matching for you. It will match $HOST vs. the virtual server's host attribute. Depending on which site you connect to the right virtual server will be used.
    c) if the $HOST request header does not match any of the virtual servers, then the default virtual server defined in the HTTP listener will be used.
    To create a virtual server, use the Admin GUI, access the configuration, and then add new virtual server. Or use the following CLI command.
    wadm> create-virtual-server --config=myconfig --http-listener-name=http-listener-1 --document-root=/www/docs/myserver.com --host-pattern=myserver.com --log-file=../logs/myserver.com-error_logs myserverHost pattern will be used for matching. Some of this elements might be optional.
    Hope that helps. And keep the questions coming :D
    Edit: Also check the documentation

  • Another iBook cannot get past the grey screen with spinning gear

    I have read the other posts on iBooks not starting up. I too have used Onyx recently but this was to cure the problem of a freeze. Now start up cannot get past the grey screen. PRAM has been zapped and safe mode will not work. Worse, the CD drive will take CDs so cannot go back to start up disk.
    Bizarrely, a visit to the Apple Store and the iBook started no problem. System was reinstalled using archive option and various health checks apparently showed no problems. But then got back home and again start up froze at grey screen with spinning gear. I have left it on this for over 15 minutes but to no avail. I have tried to connect to another ibook using T key to get target mode. I'm not sure if I am doing this right. I have started up working iBook plugged in the firewire to both machines and then started up ailing iBook holding down T key. 2nd iBook wont start at all.
    Any suggestions?

    An Archive and Install will preserve you user settings and data. You will need a minimum of 5 GB free on the hard drive to perform an A&I; you can reduce the space required by about 1 GB by selecting the option to install language support only for the language you use (assuming you don't need multiple languages).
    However, after seeing your other post (BTW, it'll be easier to keep track if relted issues are in the same thread), you do not want to try an A&I if Disk Utility is reporting anything about 'could not be repaired'. Doing so will would ensure problems down the road, if it worked at all. It's possible for one disk problem to mask another. Whenever Disk Utility (or any other repair utility) reports making repairs, it's good practice to repeat the repair until it reports no problems found or it becomes clear it cannot repair the disk.
    DiskWarrior has an excellent track record at repairing problems that Disk Utility cannot (especially Disk Utility versions prior to OS X 10.4.2).
    If the drive cannot be repaired, you may be able to keep it by doing an erase install with the write zeros (one pass) option. That will update the hard drive firmware record of bad disk sectors to avoid using. If there are only a few bad sectors, that may let you keep using the hard drive for several more years. An erase install will do just that to your data, through. If you have access to another Mac with either a large amount of free disk space of a DVD burner, you can try using the other Mac as host and the eMac as target in FireWire target disk mode. You can run the host's copy of Disk Utility on the eMac hard drive, and hopefully be able to mount the emac HD so that you can back up the data in your Home directory.

  • Another 5GHz question

    I have an older Extreme, not Simultaneous, that is upstairs and an iPad that lives downstairs with an old iBook G4. The iBook doesn't have much problem with its 802.11G connection over 2.4 GHz but the iPad is often weak. I'm thinking of getting a new Extreme so I can run both Bands. I'm also hoping the newer antenna will cover the house better. Going out on the deck with the iPad is almost impossible.
    Question is - if coverage is still spotty can I use the old Extreme to extend the network and pick which Band for it to extend?
    Thanks for any info.

    +It's the square version; does both bands, just not simultaneous. I already have Ethernet down to my Entertainment Center so my plan was to relocate the older Extreme down there. But now, as I think about it, would I actually be setting up another wireless network?+
    Ethernet will work much better to connect the Extremes together. Technically, you would be setting up another wireless network...but, if you configure this network with exactly the same wireless network name, security and password, then you will in effect, have a much larger wireless network. Computers and devices can "roam" from one area to another and stay on the same network. For this to occur, the older Extreme will need to be configured as a "bridge".
    +Would that work; wire the two Extremes together and have the newer broadcast from both bands and the older put out just 5GHz+
    Yes, you could try 5 GHz on the older Extreme to see if that provides the coverage you need. Keep in mind that you may need to use 2.4 GHz on this device because this signal is stronger and penetrates obstructions much more effectively than 5 GHz, which is more of a line-of-sight deal.
    Post back if you need step by step to configure the older Extreme. It's a bit tricky and users get confused easily here. One of the reasons for this is that you do not use the "extend a wireless network" setting, as you might think.

  • Odd iBook question - g4 board in a g3 case?

    After dealing with another logic board failure on my iBook g3, I have reached the point of wondering if I should avoid the g3 boards entirely and go with an iBook g4 board this time.
    Does anyone know if the logic board from a 12" iBook g4 will physically fit into the case of my 12" iBook g3? And what about all the other internal components, would they be compatible with a g4 board, or would they all have to be replaced as well?

    After more than six years in the Apple iBook Discussions (anyone who was here before August 25, 2000 got that "join" date because of a Discussions software update), starting, myself, with a 300MHz Tangerine iBook and then a 500MHz Dual USB iBook and making approximately 10,000 posts in this Dual USB iBook "usage" forum here, I have never, ever heard of anyone who has successfully done that. If I were you, I would listen to Ronda's advice...

  • IBook questions from a total noob.

    Well, greetings to all of you! I am the most proud owner of an iBook "Snow" Dual USB, 500 mhz, 320mb RAM, 10gb HDD. I won this on eBay 3 weeks ago for $15 with a supposedly dead HDD and since it was local there was no shipping charges! Since I'm actually using it to type this, the hard drive is in fact fine, a bit small but fine. There is no Airport Card, but I see from the antenna it is possible to put one in there. Anyway, my question has probably been asked a billion times, but from what I read nobody has an explanation just a simple "No". Obviously I want to upgrade the Hard Drive, BUT, if I'm going to be in there anyway I want to put a combo drive in. However, I've seen 700-900mhz Logic Boards on eBay, not cheap but not outrageous either. I want to swap out the old 500mhz one with a 700-900mhz replacement. The Form factor is the same, all the screw holes are identical, other then the possible display incompatibility I see no reason why it can't be done. Please, explain to me, in vast detail, why this cannot be done and cannot work. Other then the amount of time....I see no issues. Thank you for your' time, I look forward to the responses! =^)

    See now we're getting somewhere, obviously there's more to it then just swapping out the Logic Board and having it just work. Yet apparently it can be done. Of course, it would seem to be more of an annoyance then it is worth, but I figured to try and squeeze a bit more juice from this apple...ha ha ha. I had figured if I was going to have it apart to put in a replacement Hard Drive, then why not just go ahead and go for the full monty, right? I suppose a stick of 512mb RAM and a larger, faster spinning hard drive will be all I'll be doing to this machine. The simple fact that I only paid $15 for the unit and $35.00 for the OS X 10.3 Panther CD's and it works has me thrilled, really! It is my first Apple computer and I love being able to mess around with it, but I'm quickly becoming aware of the severity of it's limitations. Many of the applications I see require either OS X 10.4 Tiger, or it'll work with Panther but I need a G4 800mhz cpu....etc, etc, etc. I guess it's hard to take on the world when one is only 3 feet tall, figuratively speaking. But I'm glad to have an Apple computer and I'm only sorry I wasted so much time with Windows PC's and that I shelled out for Crappy VISTA and went back to XP!!!! Grrr.

  • Yet another standby question...

    Hi gurus,
    Please help to resolve the quiz. I have completed manual physical standby installation. It is up and running. I then decided to install Grid Control and to use Data Guard for the standby creation. I've successfully installed GC, deployed all agents, I can see my previous standbys, life is good in short. Now, when I am trying to create the second standby for my production database using the Data Guard I stuck on a logical question:
    On the step 3 of Data Guard standby creation, there is a note, saying:
    The instance name (also referred to as the SID) must be unique on the standby host.
    Yeah, fair enough. But i can't understand what should I do next? I have:
    db_name YELLOW - primary prod
    db_name YELLOW - standby prod 1st
    and i need db_name YELLOW - standby 2nd
    But I can't create it on the same server where the first standby resides.. What options do I have? Do I need to create the second standby on another server? Do I need to kill 1st standby? Is there any way to avoid this conflict? I am confused. I have no equipment for TWO standby servers... I thought I can install there up to 9 standbys.. But it seems to be a problem.. And definitely, I cannot give my second standby other name than YELLOW as all my applications are strongly tied on db_name...
    Friends, please clarify this if you can. I am kinda lost in here..
    Thanks as usual,
    Maria

    well, that's a good question! :)
    because I don't have spare server for the standby. the question is not about: 'should I or should not put more than one standbys in one server' , but more about: 'is there any way to put two standbys with the identical db_names in one server'. I know that I probably sound unprofessional, but I just wanna know.. If the answer is 'no way', I will kill the first standby then and recreate the second one using DG with the correct name.
    Thanks for writing to me,
    M.

  • Re: another build question! (sorry lol)

    Hi all
    right, after days and days of researching all the excellent articles on here ive had to write a post! So apologies for going over old ground
    Im going to build a new CS5.5 rig (having had a guts full of Apple and their FCPX fiasco its back to pc!)
    so although i appreciate the 990x o'c is prob best option, bang for  buck is leading me down the sandybridge i7 2600k o'c option on p67 mobo with 16gb of ram (option to take to 32 down the line when the chips are out)
    anyway, im sorted on chip mobo (msi big bang marshal p67), nivida 570 etc , its the drives im struggling on!! Im edit avchd video and some after effects, small amount of 3d, and in FCP i always transcoded everything to prores. Now on cs5.5 it looks like real time performance is possible with high end hardwear.
    So mobo, ram, and chip aside, my HDD config im unsure on, ive not really got the cash to go crazy with raid controllors etc, but understand need for seperate drives, etc and tbh might even go downt he cineform route as a prores alternative (prob avoiding hassles of drive speed with avchd)
    im thinking as the SSD's are now dropping in price and the ocz are producing these 500 mb r/w speed sata 6 120gb drives for a reasonable price, would 3 of these drives (one for os, one for media , one for scracth disk ) be a good set up or is it a waste of cash and should i raid 0 from bios/mobo?
    I appreicate that 120 gb drives for media etc are small, but i would take project media from another much large backup drive and just use the 3x ssd set up as working disks for editing & os? once project over, clear out drives to larger back up and start new project!
    Its either that or i go SSD as bootdrive, but some sort of cheap raid set up for my scratch disk, media drives? prob is if i do that, from what ive read (brain dead now) i would be best off with 2 x raid 0 as scratch disk and orginal media respectively when workign with avchd
    HOWEVER, on my mobo there are only 4 sata 6 ports, so if i use one for ssd boot drive, and then im left with 3 x sata 6 ports and another 4 x sata 3 ports to raid on? how does this work? any point in getting the sata 6 drives as one would be stripped with a sata 6 drive plugged into a sata 3 port (this was my reasoning behind using 3 small sata 6 ssd's plugged to the sata 6 ports  and rest of sata 3 ports as storage and backups!
    confused lol!! I just want the overclocked sandybridge system with decent gpu card, as much ram as possible at present, but im thinking my bottleneck will be in the HDD config! any suggestions are much appreicated! im not that techy so whilst have read all the articles am more confused now (plus normally a mac user, so its out of the box configuration usually!) for what its worth looking to purchase something from scan uk in terms of parts! total build cost including a reasonable screen £2,000
    many thanks

    You have a limited budget, especially in the UK, but then don't we all?
    Going for the 980X will triple the cost of the CPU, but even when editing AVCHD material the gains are not sizable enough IMO to justify that cost differential. Add to that you will need 24 GB instead of 16 GB and that carries an additional price tag. Both factors will easily move you out of budget range if you want to have a number of disks and possibly a raid controller.
    Did you read my article To Raid or not to Raid, that is the question. It can be found under the Overview tab at the top of the page? (Currently responding from abroad on my notebook and not having the bookmarks available for easy linking). http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525263
    With media and projects I would advise against a raid0, because of the lack of redundancy. For pagefile, media cache and previews (scratch disks) raid0 is quite OK. They will be recreated if needed. The performance gain from a raid0 for media and projects over a parity raid is easily offset by the time spent on making backups. For parity raids do not use WD Caviar Blacks, but look at the Hitachi 7K3000 line of disks.
    The question of Sandy Bridge versus the old X58 platform is essentially one of 'which limitations are acceptable to me'.
    The Sandy Bridge is a great processor and at least the equal to the old i7-9xx quad cores. However, the platform, the chipset, has its shortcomings in terms of PCIe lanes. Whether that is relevant to you, only you can decide. But hey, we would be in serious trouble if Intel did not manage some progress in two years time from the i7-920 to the i7-2600K. So of course the i7-2600K shows much more potential than the almost retired 920, it is the chipset for the Sandy Bridge that is 'flawed' in comparison to the X58, but that is no surprise, since the Sandy Bridge is a 'middle-of-the-road' platform and the X58 was a 'high performance' platform.
    BFTB-wise I think that within your budget limits, you should look at the i7-2600K, but with the best disk setup you can afford.

  • Another beginner question about targeting functions

    I've read what I thought was an excellent thread about scope in EA, but I'm still not getting some of the basics (btw the thread was http://forums.adobe.com/message/5287753#5287753).
    I have "slides" in the symbol library and in the main composition compositionReady script I've set up a generic script for playing back sound. That script works fine when I bind it within the compositionReady script to a symbol and click, so I know the funciton itself is fine. My question, I'm programmatically loading the slides from the library as I go along and want to use the generic function I created in the compositionReady script, but I can't seem to create the proper syntax to call the script. Here's some that I have tried. What is the correct syntax? The script is on frame inside the slide symbol.
    //sym.getComposition().getStage().playSound();
    //sym.getComposition().playSound();
    //Edge.getComposition("CER_1").playSound();

    Thanks for having a look. Yea, it's getting to the script fine but it doesn't like the syntax. Console always indicates javascript error, which is what happens when Edge throws an exception because it doesn't know what to do. The article that Elaine posted on above gives me the sense that it might be best to change the function to a variable, then it would be in scope to call but I have parameters I'd like to pass with it and I don't think  I can pass a parameter with to a variabalized (word?) function. I know it's just me moving from ActionScript to Edge JavaScript and scope. Whereas I could always find a homebase in ActionScript with the stage, it seems that the stage in Edge is just another symbol and calling a function within the stage is never getting there. Elaine hints at putting outside the stage closure and it would be accessible, which, of course, has led me to start readying JavaScript books and learning more about scope etc. It seems like that is life as a developer. I  dont' get that, oh, better take a day or two to  understand that concept, oh, that function works now, next problem. ;-)

  • Sorry but its another Raptor question..

    Hi all.
    Heres the deal. I currently have about 8GB of audio, about 5GB of pics and about 2GB of documents.
    At the moment I use DVDs to back up the above documents, but since the amount I need to back up is growing so quickly, Its taking longer and longer to orgnise and back up. I usually take between 1 and 2GB of pics when I go on holiday and my MP3/AAC collection is growing quickly.
    My question is this: Should I go for a Raptor 74GB hard disk and use that as my primary drive and the stock drive as a secondrey drive? or opt for an External hard drive like the Smartdisk crossfire?
    If I choose the raptor, is it difficult to transfer everything from the stock disk to the raptor? Will I need any additional software?
    Oh, and I should add. The disk on the IBook mentioned in my sig is full, so cant use that for back ups any more.

    It seems from your writing that your needs is for storage space, not speed, so I don't think the Raptor offers you anything particularly useful in real use.
    For less then the cost of a 74 GB Raptor (~$160 when not on sale), you can get a Maxtor MaxLine III 300 GB, with a 16 MB cache (~$130), that will provide over 4 times the amount of storage as the Raptor, and provide very close performance numbers to the Raptor.
    If I were adding an internal I'd go with the MaxLine III for very good performance, and much higher storage capacity.
    As for an external, those too are a good option for backup. I'm not familiar with the one you mentioned, so I'll leave it to others to provide suggestions about it.
