Any Opinions on SquareTrade Insurance on eBay iBooks?

Greetings All:
The subject says it all. In these wallet-strapping days a near mint-condition G3 800mHz iBook for $250 is a non-brainer steal, and to me it'd be crazy to pass up any hardware failure insurance on it. SquareTrade offers between $45 - $80 dollars warranty on an iBook depending who you get it from it seems, which is a steal deal to me, what the cost of replacing a display or logic board - and why go through the hassle of buying a whole new machine for several times the cost -- not to mention the agony of removing the HD unless you use a hammer? Does anyone have any experience with SquareTrade?

Hi James,
Insurance really is a peace of mind. I have Square Trade warranty on my G3 ibook. It was the only way I'd buy it. Most IBook buyers who helped me on ebay swear by ST for motherboard and display repairs. If you check out repair prices on-line you'll see insurance pays for itself triple plus -- and keeps on going like the bunny. Don't buy ebay without it!

Does any body have any opinions on how much better CS6 is than Cs4?

Does any body have any opinions on how much better CS6 is than Cs4? The reason I ask is I am trying to convince my business partner that CS6 is worth buying

My pattern has been that every other new version made it worth my while. I spent very little time working in CS4, since I went from CS3, to CS4 with an immediate upgrade to CS5. Then from CS5 to CS5.5 with an immediate upgrade to CS6. I have not gone to the cloud, so cannot comment on the features there. I would still evaluate your price for CS6 against the rental expense.
I like Todd Kopriva's page laying out the CS6 new/changes features:
Premiere Pro CS6: what’s new and changed
That page contains other links (e.g. CS5 and CS5.5 changes).
In addition to cc_merchant's points about 64 bit (which were HUGE and for CS6 included Encore going to 64 bit), I found these items from the "new" list as important to me:
adjustment layers (HUGE)
expanded multi-camera editing, with more multicam angles and improved interface (I hated only having 4 angles, although that usually worked)
improved color features, including integration with SpeedGrade and redesigned Three-Way Color Corrector effect
improved workflows with other applications in Adobe Creative Suite, as well as with Final Cut Pro and Avid software
faster Adobe Media Encoder, redesigned to make authoring for multiple outputs and mobile devices easier (batch processing was added with CS4, but it wasn't until CS6, with other enhancements that I really worked it)
enhanced Adobe Encore for creation of DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and web DVDs (Bluray chapter playlists finally; I have used the flash output, which has gotten better at each step)

Any opinions on izzy lenses for Iphone

Any opinions on Izzy lenses for iphone? Is there another product that will take great pictures so I don't have to bring my camera with interchangeable lenses?

I've been trying to imagine what the site might look
like in the iPhone Safari browser.
One of the main features of iPhone is that it is designed to access normal web pages and not the special versions required by other similar devices. So no optimization should really be necessary.
The iPhone forum is here:

Any opinions re Avast vs ClamXav?

Any opinions? I've been using ClamXav for a long time and it never seemed to do anything. Avast has flagged emails and found a virus in my Parallels Win 7 file that my Windows AV software eventually cleaned. Avast seems good, any downsides?

1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav— nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Any opinions about OpenGL4Java?

Any opinions about OpenGL4Java? I want to make a 3D game in Java using OpenGL. OpenGL is for C++, but there is a package or something called OpenGL4Java (I think it is put out jau software, ore soemthing like that, I don't have time to look it up now. Anyway, does anybody have any opinions about it?
And for all those who say that a good game cannot be done in Java, take a look here:
http://www.cosm-game.com/
It looks good for Java. Too bad it is only an online game.
Virum

Do you have any evidence for that?
That sounds really accusative, but I'm genuinely
interested in seeing some comparisons between the two
environments.I assume you are talkin about Java3D and OpenGL?
If so yes, I can give some evidence. My uncle knows a pofessional that has been working with graphics programming since he was twelve. I think he is somewhere around 29, but I don't know. Anyweay he uses uses OpenGl quite a bit, and he waas the one who told me that OpenGL gave much more control (it has direct access to hardware) than Java#D. Java#D may have now reached OpenGL's speed, but I don't think it has yet. ANyway, I want the control OPenGL gives you.
Has anybody else had any expereiences with both?
As to the portability thing, I have no idea where I heard Java#D had portability probelems.

Any opinions on if I should repair my old powerbook or just buy a new one?

Alright, here's the situation.
I have a Tipowerbook 867 (upgraded to 512 ram) that's a bit over two and a half years old. Over this two plus year period, I have used this powerbook quite a lot, pretty much every single day for several hours at a minimum. Well, the other day when I was picking it up off a chair, it half slipped out of my hand, and before I could catch it the left hinge hit the floor pretty good, and the little part of the hinge that goes up into the display is now pulled out, and the hinge does not rotate. This also exacerbated some small stress cracks in the light grey outer case of the bottom part right beneath the same hinge. Apple gave me a quote of about 600 dollars to fix it. I also plan to call around to some third party places to see if they can do it cheaper, but do not expect it to be less then 3-400 to get it fixed. If I did get it fixed, I would also want to buy a new battery as well (a cost of around $120), as the one I have currently is at 581 cycles, and does not last very long any more. This computer also has little things wrong that don't bother me overly much, but I still notice from time to time, like 2 or 3 little scratches on the screen and one longer one, plus it seems to have gained a dead pixel or two recently.
Now, the decision I'm trying to make is whether it would be better to get this one repaired, or whether to just try and sell it for whatever it gets (a couple hundred dollars plus, I figure?), and buy one of the new 1.67ghz modals for $1899 (including apple care)taxa gig of ram.
If I got the current one repaired, I could see it lasting another 6 months or year, but probably not longer then that. The advantages I see in the new one are:
Double the processor speed,
Quadruple the graphics card memory,
Triple the ram (I sometimes feel like this one has too little, but don't want to put more in it cause I'd have to trash one of the sticks in it, which reduces the net gain quite a bit, so I figure I'll just stick another gig in the new one, if I get it)
the bigger screen res (I use the entire screen most of the time currently, and I have good eyesight, so I see this as a good thing)
The larger HD (not a big deal, but I have been running into the upper limit of this one from time to time, but not without crap I can delete to free up space)
The stuff like the firewire 800 port, usb 2.0 port, and airport extreme card I see as nice, but not a real big deal to me, as I probably wouldn't get much use out of them in the near future.
The two finger scrolling thing might be helpful, but I use a little shareware program called sidetrack currently, which gives me similar results.
The powerbooks were updated recently, and so will probably remain current a little bit longer.
It seems like a decent time in regard to the intel transition, since most (or at least some) of the bugs and incompatibilities will probably be worked out by the time I need to buy a new one.
So, I see lots of pluses to getting a new one, but am not sure if there are 13 or 14 hundred dollars worth of plusses.
If I do get a new computer, it will definitely be a powerbook, because I love being able to spend most of my time on the computer from my bed, and also being able to go upstairs and sit next to my dad on the couch and surf the web from there, and an ibook wouldn't do it for me, since I use the entire screen currently for various programs.
The programs that I use most frequently are things like safari, ichat, mail, word, etc, but I do acquire a penchant for game playing from time to time, and suspect that this might make a resurgence if I did buy a new one--it would be nice to be able to play something like America's Army or UT2k4 with an actually playable frame rate (I don't even really care about the quality of the graphics, as long as it's playable).
I also have considered trying out things like 3d modeling and messing about with imovie to see what I came up with, but am not sure how much those would benefit from the new computer.
I am currently a freshman at a local junior college, and think it's fairly likely that I'll transfer to a four year collage down the road in 2-3 years.
So basically, my decision comes down to this: Do I repair this one, and hope it lasts 6-12 months more, at which point I probably buy the current 15" powerbook, or do I spring for the new one now, and hope it serves my needs for the next 3 or so years down the road.
I'm sort of drawn to the new one, but also can't see anything terribly wrong with this one, and think that it might serve the majority of my needs (but possibly fewer of my wants) for a year or so to come.
The money is not a huge issue to me, I'll have to pay it sometime, and I was already planning to try to get a side job refereeing fencing tournaments for a bit of extra cash.
The way I lean on this decision depends on when you ask me, it varies from really deciding that I'd like and enjoy the new one to feeling like it would be kind of silly and it would be better to wait, but not liking having to repair this one to gain back what I already had.
Anybody have any helpful suggestions or comments that might help to tip me one direction or the other?
-Larry
P.S. Thanks for reading my somewhat long winded post, I'm the kind of person who really likes trying to quantify everything I can, and so I did.

Ok.
For starters, there is a Titanium thread, where you can get some more help, but my main Mac is a Ti, so let's get to it.
the hinge does not rotate
This is common on older TiBooks. I pray everytime I open mine.
to be less then 3-400 to get it fixed
Seems about right.
sell it for whatever it gets
Ebay is the place to go for current value on older technology. You will get the best price there as well. Look around eBay for similar models, with hinge damage like yours.
Frankly, the new Powerbooks are really nice. My roomate has one, and they are much studier than these TiBooks. You will not be disappointed. I would wait until MacExpo the 2nd week of January to see what Apple has to pull out of their hat as far as possible Powerbook or iBook options. No one knows for sure what--if any--new products will be released in the near future.
Larry, what do you do on the Mac? What do you need from it? You can pick up an iBook for as little as $999. You can also look online at the Apple Store refurbs (A link on the Apple Store site will take you there) for cheaper models.
I think your Ti has seen a good life... I vote for moving on.

What, if any, animation files can be added to iBooks Author books?

My books will include 2D animations, and I need to see what files they need to be to be included (imbedded?) in the iBook. Any ideas? Or do I need to submit animations to another place, and in another format?

My books will include 2D animations, and I need to see what files they need to be to be included (imbedded?) in the iBook.
Since you seem to be asking about standalone media files to be embedded directly in iBA "Media" widgets, my advice would be to keep it simple. Audio only files containing AAC stereo in the 128 Kbps @ 44.1 KHz to 160 Kbps @ 48.0 KHz range audio in an M4A container would be a good choice combining reasonable fidelity in a moderate file size. This same audio can also be embedded as a "Podcast" M4A file which will automatically use the image as your default "Poster Frame" for the "Media" widget. As for videos, use an M4V file format containing an H.264 video track with AAC audio as previously described. While many video options are available, you may wish to stick with something like a L3.0/3.1 Main Profile in the 1.0 to 2.5 Kbps range since they are both easy to make and play on almost all mobile devices. Do not include extraneous track data in most cases. For instance, while the iPad can accept/AirPlay a secondary DD5.1 AC3 audio track, the iBA app seems to be programmed to prevent import of such content.

I purchased a decent priced Mac Pro from eBay and then upgraded the graphics card and RAM. I also upgraded the CPU's, but that isn't something most casual computer users want to get into. RAM and video card was a no brainer on the Mac Pro.
I also scoured the local classifieds and found a nice iMac 17" 2ghz C2D. I bought some extra ram, and put Snow Leopard on it. Real great machine, works perfectly fine and runs anything I need it to do. Was a great price.
Or you can buy yourself a new iMac, you won't be disappointed. Looks great, has an awesome display, and is about as clutter free as possible. You can also run Windows via bootcamp if you need be.
My friend has a macbook air, real cook machine, but it suffers in t he performance area to keep it light weight. However, it does EVERYTHING he wants it to do.
I also run an eMac for internet browsing, word processing, and email. You can get them almost for free.

So if baltwo's suggestion doesn't work there is a similiar command in open firmware.

They also talk about the optical cable and that might be worth checking out.
Exactly which iBook is this? Speed and size?
The service manual for the 1.2 GHz 12" describes the procedure for removing a stuck drive. It involves removing the drive and opening it up (4 screws).
To remove the drive the preliminary steps are:
remove the following:
• Battery
• Keyboard and RAM shield
• AirPort Extreme Card
• Memory card
• Bottom case
• Bottom shield
• DC-in board
• Top case
• Top shield"
The reason I ask about the speed is that it's possible the earlier drives are different. In the PowerBooks there was a release on the right side of the slot. It was a small bar you pressed with the proper tool.

Any opinions on 15" vs. 17"?

I plan on purchasing a MBP next week and am getting conflicting opinions. There is really a nominal difference in price between the 15" and 17", but outside of the weight and screen size, are there any significant performance advantages or major problems? Thanks for the advice!

Yea the 17" has allot over a 15"!
I have a iMac, 15 " and 17" here and when you put a 15 side by side with a 17 you do not at ALL care to use the 15, it looks tiny., regardless of people's fears about the size of the 17, do this and i guaranty you that who ever tries it will prefer a 17", my mom even did this and yet she complained the 17 seemed to big at a Apple store prior to that.
1-You can expand the video to get a hi res 1920x1200
2-The speakers sound way more incredible, they used a designers who do luxiry cars., i can actually mix music ion them, they are accurate.
3-Do to the 17" size it does not heat up as fast or as bad as a 15".
4-the size also makes it more easier to deal with cable hassle as a desktop when connection Xpress34 card, 3 USB, FW400, FW800 cables.
Try it.

I seem to have lost the iBooks icon - any ideas?

You've checked all your homescreens and app folders for it, and tried searching for it via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ? There is a maximum of 11 homescreens after which apps are only accessible via the spotlight search scree.
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. You could also do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will re-arrange your apps and might make it easier to find.

What could be wrong with it? Ebay ibook

I got this 14" ibook g3 from ebay and its symptoms are, as described from the listing text, that " Then I did a bad thing. I plugged in a cable into the AV port with both the computer and the receiver where on at the same time. Suddenly all I got was gibberish colors on the screen. I almost cried. I tried the monitor out jack and lo and behold- it worked! Not on the built in screen mind you, but at least I could plug it into a monitor and still use it. "
What could have gone wrong with it? If the problem is the motherboard, could I use one out of a 12" g3 ibook and put it into this 14"? I've seen the motherboards and the seem to be the same size and everything on them seems to be located in the same manner. Are the lcd data cable hookups on the 14" motherboard the same as those on a 12" ibook board?

Hi, What are some of the incompatabilities I will face? Are they just cable lengths? I've compared the sizes and shapes of the motherboards seem to be the same, for example, the connections to the battery, for a 14" ibook have an extension from the motherboard to the battery. I could easily remove the 12" existing connector and replace it with the 14" connector and extension. If the incompatabilitites can be worked around I would really like to try because I have no money to dish out for a new motherboard. Just as long as they don't involve the re-aranging of components like resistors and chips. I am very good with a soldering iron though.

Any Opinions on SquareTrade Insurance on eBay iBooks?
