Anyone get Mac OS 10.5 to work on the G3 iBook?

If yes, how does it work for you?
thanks,

I can't remember where I read it, but apparently it is possible to "fool" a computer into accepting Leopard.
It requires installing Leopard onto an external HDD using a computer that does meet the specs for Leopard. I think you have to use a firewire HDD.
Then connect the external HDD to the computer that does not meet the specs for Leopard and boot from the external HDD. Or one can then download Leopard from the external HDD to the computer. It's supposed to work because you're bypassing the code on the installation disk or something.
I don't know why one would want to run Leopard on anything else but what Apple says. I would think that it would run poorly and not all functions would work.

Anyone get a 2TB+ size HD to work with the E3000??

Have a 3TB GoFlex Seagate USB drive that ain't working. Is there ANY large HD's that DO work with this fricking thing? Absurd that there's a limit on the drive size for this thing....just absurd....

It's not even showing the drive under Computer. The led lights on the unit don't power up when connected to the router,yet the router see's it's there but not the right size.
I tried reformatting connecting it to the PC directly,to NTFS and that didn't help. It comes to life connected to my PC,but when I connect it to the router,nothing. The LED's go out and nothing shows up under My Computer (Vista). I've tried rebooting the router, unplugging it then plugging the HD in then rebooting. Nothing I've done works. It's not showing anything for format,just a * and it's a 3TB drive but it's only showing under a TB. This shouldn't be this hard to setup,seriously. Plug it in,it recognizes it,set up the shared folders and done.

I have a Nikon 300S. It is set to NEF(RAW) + JPEG fine. When I import to Lightroom I get message "There was an error working with the photo? Does anyone know why or how to correct?

I don't know the answer, personally, because I don't use Lightroom. This is the Camera Raw forum.
Someone here might answer your question, as there are a lot of clever people here, but, if not, you might try here:

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why? Obviously the device is operational. Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn? If so, is it reparable?

It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.

Does anyone have experience with having multiple editors work on the same project from different computers?

Hi, thankyou for your response. Can I just confirm that you mean turning the computer on and off again, or re-booting the whole system. If it is the first I have already turned the system on and off, with no luck.

Problems getting an external hard drive to work on the new Airport Extreme

I have spent hours trying to get my 320GB external hard drive to work with the new airport extreme 802.11N. I have spent hours pouring over all of the posts here discussing possible solutions, all of which have not worked. This morning, however, I gave it another try and FINALLY, I have it working. I tried something simple. Here it is:
Using the Apple Disk Utility Program, I formated my drive using the MS-DOS mode, called my Hard drive "ItunesHD". It took about 20 minutes to complete (i'm assuming because of the size of the drive). I then unplugged the router and hard drive, turned on the hard drive, then the router. After my macbook pro reconnected, I clicked on the iDisk utility icon in my menu bar, provided my password and FINALLY saw the network drive icon on my desktop!!! It seems that formatting my drive using MS-DOS compatibility mode finally worked for me. I'm not saying this will work for anyone else who is having this problem, but you can at least try it. I tried all of the MAC formatting options and have had no luck.
What I would like to know now is (..if anyone has these answers, please let me know):
1. What is the maximum SINGLE drive capacity that this router will understand...500GB, 1TB, 2TB? I would like to get the biggest bang for my buck.
2. Keeping #1 one in mind, I purchased an Apple TV (still waiting on it to arrive) and I would like to know if it will read multiple hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme router (...say (2) 500GB hard drives). I know you can have multiple libraries in iTunes (which to me is a cheesy solutions, there should be an option in the preferences that would allow you to save your music in one place and your movies in another). Anybody have any idea on this one?
I basically want to rip all of my dvd movies on a big hard drive connected to my airport extreme to use with my AppleTV , so I just need to find out about the maximum size and hooking up more than one hard drive and getting the AppleTV to recognize them all.

Sorry you had so much trouble hooking up a hard drive to the base station. I've done some experimenting with the feature and this is what I've found out.
You can use either the native Mac format, Mac OS Extended, or the Microsoft format known as FAT. Apple calls FAT, MS-DOS File System in Disk Utility.
If you use Mac OS Extended, the Macs on the network will be able to connect to the drive using the native AFP (Apple File Protocol) or the Microsoft native SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. PCs will only use the SMB protocol of course.
If you use MS-DOS File System both the Macs and the PCs will only use SMB to connect to the drive over the network.
Basically I've found everything works as expected with regard to volumes connected to a network.
One thing I don't have installed is the iDisk Utility. I'm wondering if it may be the cause of the problems you were having. But reading through your post it may also be the difference between expected behaviour and the proper procedure for discovering and mounting network volumes. Let me explain.
You only mention having trouble getting the drive to show up on your Desktop, you didn't describe how you went about discovering the network drive. It isn't just suppose to show up on your desktop when you plug it in to the Extreme base station. It doesn't work like the iDisk or disks connected directly to your computer using USB/Firewire.
Normally with network drives you're suppose to either browse for them using the Network icon in the Finder or using the Connect to Server command in the Finder's Go menu, you would type the address in directly for the network volume you want to mount. Try it and see what happens.
Now to answer your other questions.
I don't have a volume large enough to hit any limits the base station may have but I did read a post about someone who said they had a 1.5 TB volume connected and could only see 1 TB of it. They were forced to partition the drive to see all available space and of course the volumes showed up as two separate drives. One thing wasn't made clear though. They didn't say what volume format they were using to format the drive, Mac OS Extended or MS-DOS.
Everything having to do with the AppleTV is just speculation at this point since no one has one yet but from what has been demonstrated so far, AppleTV relies on iTunes. In other words, it won't pull data from network volumes on its own, a computer running iTunes needs to feed it.

How do you get a playlist of music to work on the basic Photo App which comes with ipad 2 - to have to play the same tune over and over again with a slideshow is rubbish !

How does one get a varity of music i.e a playlist to work on the standard Photo App which is shipped with Ipad 2 when using a slideshow ?

if you have music in your library, when tapping on slideshow a menu appears - Turn on music option. when on a song should display below it - tapping it will take you to your library.
Photo App will give you access to all albums as set in settings\Photo
Camera - select camera roll - gives camera roll only but options for everything else
Slideshow timings is under Settings\Photo

Spaces headaches - anyone get virtue or desktop manager to work in Leopard?

I'd been using "desktop manager" in Tiger and while it had its annoyances (minimize then maximize required to move windows between desktops), it didn't interfere with my work the way Spaces does. The app partitioning concept doesn't work for me -- I want task partitioning and some of my different tasks require the same app.
I tried to get Virtue Desktop and Desktop Manager to work today but no luck. They both behave very oddly with Spaces on or off. Interestingly, Desktop Manager behaves better with Spaces "on" in that with Spaces "off", I can't even create new windows in other desktops if the application is opened elsewhere.
Anyway, I know there's a non-free desktop manager out there -- has anyone tried it with Leopard? Or are there other solutions people are using to effectuate task partitioning?

I tried the wrong "You Control Desktops" in my first post about it. The one to try with Leopard is here:
http://www.yousoftware.com/beta/
Chose the 1.3 b5 application -- the "You Control 1.6" is some kind of menu system -- not a multiple desktop application.
Anyway, the 1.3 beta has some issues too.
With Spaces ON:
I ssh'd into another machine with an X11 terminal, then launched a second terminal from my SSH session, and then launched two application from each of the terminals. For the most part, interaction was as one would expect. A couple times, my terminal's became hard to touch -- clicking on the title bar of the window sometimes helped, and clicking back and forth between windows also sometimes did the trick. Sometimes it takes some combination of zooming back for all the spaces and/or using expose to be able to interact with an application. Moving the child X11 windows to other desktops was problematic -- clicking a window would shoot me off to other Desktops -- but it may be possible to figure out what is going on with a little trial and error.
With Spaces OFF:
No problem switching between X11 child windows (after SSH'ing into another machine, launching a second terminal window and then launching apps from both windows). However, it isn't possible to move X11 or any of it's children windows to other desktops. Mac apps will switch windows by dragging them to the side of the screen, but none of the X11 windows would do this -- not even the original terminal window. Plus, you can't use the old workaround of minimizing on one Desktop and maximizing on another -- the X11 windows stay on the desktop from which they were first launched. Period. Starting a second X11 terminal in another desktop and then starting a second concurrent SSH session, made it impossible to reliably interact with any windows launched from the first X11 terminal.
Anyway, for $30 to buy You Control Desktops -- I'm inclined to just get VMware, assign it to a desktop, and run Ubuntu in it. That would give me a usable interface with multiple desktops (on the one "Space"), but it adds another login to wade through -- which is also less than ideal.

Getting Siri to understand home and work outside the USA

I've just written this up in my blog
You've told Siri which contact is you. You ask Siri "Remind me to talk to Michael when I arrive at work" but it just replies telling you that it doesn't know where your office is - but you've got an entry in the address book for "work"!
It's probably iCloud and Mac OS X working against you.
Address Book on OS X supports multiple address formats - some of which looks very much like the location you're in and you may not have changed them.
To persuade Siri to understand you need to change the address format - locate the contact in Address Book and click edit. Click the label on the offending address and a context menu will appear - at the bottom there's a sub-menu which allows you to change the address format. Choose the appropriate one and click Done.
Now, once iCloud has synced which doesn't take long, Siri will beable to set reminders for home and work without problems.

I too had the same problems as everyone else on here but I've sussed it out how to do it. Go on google maps on your phone and find your home or work etc on the map. Now on your home press your finger on the screen and it drops a pin with a blue arrow.
Click on the blue arrow
click on add to contacts
click on add to existing contact
find your own contact details and click on it
your details open up with the address you dropped the pin on now in your address field.
click on edit at the top right hand side of the screen
now scroll down to the address and click on the address description at the side of the listed address and select either home, work other or add custom label.
The custom label is good for anything else you need to name. I have all our branches now listed under say, wolverhampton brach, telford branch etc. This way I can get siri to remind me where ever I want to go such as " remind me to get my tools back when i get to the "wolverhampton branch". Works 100% every time this way.
Hope this helps you guys out.

Can't get a 250 gb drive to work as the only drive

Someone please help. I have had a 36 gb raptor working on this system just fine but want to switch to use a 250 gb SATA hard drive instead. I have tried everything i can think of:
K8N-FSR motherboard
bios are up to date 1.40v
tried copying disc to disc via Western Digital utilities
everytime i try to boot it up i get the error loading OS message.
Anyone? I really am out of ideas here.

stick with it mate - you will overcome...
if you want a quicker read than the FAQs on SATAs my story is on this thread and to cut a long story short - if you have any IDEs HD in there and don't want it to be primary you need to unplug during any format or repairs. Plus whilst a SATA will slave and operate as non-active partition fine without RAID even to get a single drive to be active needs RAID enabled and the MSI drivers loaded to windows.
Let us know how you ge on - also if you go into BIOS RAID setup have you made sure you switched drive to the right....
oh and ignore the remarks about pr0n - I have 440GB HD space in my rig!

Planning to get New 27" Does Boot camp work with the 1T and 3T Fusions Drives

I am planning to get a NEW 27" IMAC [if they ever come out] and use Parallels Desktop® 8 or Bootcamp for Gamming.
Going with:
27" 3.4GHz quad-core Intel core I7 with 8MB L3 cache
8GB Ram - Upgrade to 32GB 1600MHz DDR3 from Crucial or OWC
3TB 7200rpm Fusion Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX Graphic processor with 2GB of GDDR5 memory
AppleCare Protection Plan
Samsung SE-506AB Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer =+$89.
I work with Photoshop, some Video and Play World of Warcraft.
Planning to do Gaming on the PC Side with using Bootcamp or Parallels Desktop® 8.
As you see I was planning to get the 3TB 7200rpm Fusion Drive.
But I don't know if it would work with Bootcamp.
Not sure if a separate Volume need to be made for the PC side?
If a 768 SSD would work?
Or do I have to go with Regular hard drive?

Hello,
Kind of funny, the 3 TB isn;tsupported for BootCamp!?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to configure Fusion Drive?
When ordered with a Fusion Drive, your iMac or Mac mini is pre-configured.
Can external USB, FireWire, or Thunderbolt hard drives be added to Fusion Drive?
An external drive cannot be used as part of a Fusion Drive volume. Fusion Drive is designed to work with an internal hard disk drive and internal flash storage.
Can I add a partition to the hard disk with Fusion Drive?
Using Disk Utility, you can add one partition to the hard disk on Fusion Drive. Once you add the partition, the "plus" symbol in Disk Utility to add additional partitions will be grayed out. You cannot partition the Flash storage.
If I create a hard disk partition is it part of Fusion Drive?
The additional partition is not part of Fusion Drive. The new partition is a separate volume that is physically located on the hard disk drive.
Can I add a Windows partition?
You can create one additional partition on the hard disk with Fusion Drive. You can create either a Mac OS X partition or a Windows partition.
If creating a Windows partition, use Boot Camp Assistant to create it, not Disk Utility. From the Go menu, choose Utilities. Then, double-click Boot Camp Assistant and follow the onscreen instructions. For more information on Boot Camp see the Boot Camp support page.
Note: Boot Camp Assistant is not supported at this time on 3TB hard drive configurations.

Can anyone recommend a good phishing extension that works on the macintosh version of firefox?

I'm working with an older lady who keeps giving up her password because her older lady friends keep sending her links. I think she finally gets not to click on the links but she is now very, very paranoid and would like that added security of a anti-phishing extension/add-on in Firefox. I looked a few of them but wasn't certain which one would work best for her based on using a Mac.
