Apple IIc

Upon moving into a new (old) house, I discovered tucked away in the basement an Apple IIc complete with monitor, monitor stand, external floppy drive and software. Questions: Does anyone know of a really good, safe cleaning method? (The devices were boxed but the boxes weren't sealed; I have no idea how many years of accumulated crud we're talking about.) Also, it's my understanding that the IIc could support a mouse. Unfortunately no mouse was found. Where can I buy one that will work?
Thanks

really good, safe cleaning method?
Blow the dust out with compressed air. Do not do it in a "nice" part of the house, it makes a mess.
Try to resist the temptation to use a household vacuum -- the plastic wands generate mega-static that can kill electronics.
Where can I buy \[a mouse] that will work?
If it has an ADB keyboard (with a round 4-pin port) any ADB mouse should work just fine. Buy wherever used Macs are sold. eBay and your local craigs list are places where such things turn up.
The original would have been the "angular" ADB mouse used in the mac SE and Mac II, later replaced with the rounded model.

Old Apple 5.25 floppies data transfer IIE OR IIC ASCI

Hi there!
Here is my story, I have several old floppies from 80ties - 5.24 dinosaurs floppies done on apple iie or iic containing some texts and writing. I need those file transferred to nova days file format and store it on CD / DVD or HDD
So, my question is how it can be done, details will be appreciated.
I googled same issue but didn't find any clear explanation, except to buy old apple on ebay and try to read it...
Thank you!

Ok. I got serial cable connected in between PC and APPLE IIC, Downloaded ADTpro and went through setup, APPLE IIC wont recognize key CONTROL + A or I - Syntax error. Here is footage, I hope it will help to see what I am dealing with equipment-wise.

Thanks for taking that video. It's worth a thousand words. The first problem - you've got a serial cable connected from the PC to the joystick port of the IIc. You need a cable like this:
http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/connectionsserial.html#DIN5
Pay close attention to the port it needs to be plugged into - the DIN5 port next to the joystick port (reference the pictures on the ADTPro site).
I am still confused about ADTpro and cant understand the way how data will be transferred in between, cause I can only see how to send data from pc and there is no indication that is actually sending anything.
Once you build or buy the correct cable, it will make much more sense!
Also, if there is any commands such as change drive view txt files from apple iic command prompt....I tried to open using apple works 2.0 but no luck...
The command CAT or CATALOG will show you the list of files on the disk. There isn't a built-in command to dump a file to the screen the way TYPE in PC-DOS would.
Based on previous notes I have to have 3.5 drive or its not necessary ....
You're not missing anything if you don't hvae a 3.5" drive.

Why Oh Why does Apple make it so hard to get an simple answer on something-

My main complaint is that Apple seems to go out of its way to put everything in categories for support help, and makes it very difficult to access a simple email access to support techs for questions that are not listed. Most recent example:
I purchased my first Mac in about 25 years this past September (now realize that I should have stayed with Apple after I bought the original Apple computer and later "upgraded" to an Apple IIC - HA!) - and yes, I should have bought the Apple care assistance but with all the travel I do it would have been very difficult to schedule time. Anyway...
All I want to know right now is that I bought my Mac Pro in early September only to find out that if I bought it in later October, I'd be eligible for an upgrade to Snow Leopard for only $7. But since I bought it in September, does that mean I have to pay the full $149 for upgrading to both Snow Leopard and iLife? Or since I'm such a recent customer that there would be other options?
Anyone have any ideas? Or at least could help me find a way to email someone at Apple to get an answer?
Thanks!!

My main complaint is that Apple \[...] makes it very difficult to access a simple email access to support techs
Apple doesn't do support via e-mail. Personally, I think that's a reasonable choice, but discussing Apple policy here is strictly against the [terms of use of these forums|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#terms], and thus may be enough to get your post removed.
I bought my Mac Pro in early September only to find out that if I bought it in later October, I'd be eligible for an upgrade to Snow Leopard for only $7.
If you bought your machine in September of +this year+, then it should have had SL on it already. If you bought in September of +last year+, then you would have been eligible to upgrade for $100 (don't know where you heard $7). The dates of purchase for eligible machines were June 8 to December 26, in 2009. Dunno where you got October from. Sounds like whatever source you got that information from was not a good one.
Of course, this is probably all moot now. I doubt that the Up-to-Date program is still going, since the release of SL was more than a year ago.

27" iMac - - safe to buy from Apple Store now ?

With all the issues going on where Apple then had delayed shipments 2 weeks presumably due to the issues, do you think we are good to go now ?
I notice there is still a 1 week lead time online.
Thoughts ?
TIA.

I am a MCSE and have been in IT for 18 years dealing with MS products. I was forced into buying an iMac by my wife because "it would look better in our living room". (She buys cars the same way... it drives me nuts.) I haven't owned an apple product since the Apple IIc.
Then we got the the iMac two weeks ago and it had the screen flickering problem.
So, nobody wants to hate this thing more than I do and I just can't. The "magic mouse" is the greatest user interface achievement since the original mouse. The OS is easy to use and is intuitive even for a Windows geek like me. The engineering put into the overall design (screen problems aside) is far better than anything else on the market. And honestly, it does look good in the living room, but don't tell my wife.
When the screen flickering problem started I started the inevitable rant about how this never happened to me with other machines. Then my wife reminded me that the Dell we bought 2 years ago had a random high volume screeching noise coming from the sound card and that Dell never actually acknowledged the problem.
We called Apple support and got a super helpful tech support person. She began to describe how to download the firmware update and I quickly cut her off and told her that had already been done. She immediately gave me the choice of repair or replacement. I didn't need to argue or complain. It was just that simple. I chose repair because I feared I might get another machine from stock that had the same issue.
So far, I'm quite impressed.

Off the wall question: network an Apple II?

Has anyone networked an Apple II to their current network? Is it EVEN possible?
I have my first computer, an Apple IIc and was wondering if I could get it and either my iMac G5 (Leopard) or my iMac G4 (Tiger) to "talk". The IIc runs ProDOS 8.
I also have a IIGS CPU, but no display, or keyboard and mouse for it.

I don't know too much about the Apple II, and I'm not sure that there's many other people on these forums that do. It's a very old product.
You could try a Google search, there might be the answer to your question in a different forum on the Web. Or maybe someone who knows the answer to this will see your post.

Need Advice: New Intel Mac Mini Still In The Box

Hi!
Okay.. I know... I have several posts going here as I have several issues I am trying to solve rather simultaneously. Thanks for being patient with me.
I have my old 1.25 Ghz PowerPC Mac Mini running 10.4.11 and all was well and happy. Then Security Update 2007-009 happened and all went to ....well... you know and, yes, it was bad! Went to Apple, got it running of sorts as they re-installed the OS, but they used an old version of OS X. (10.4.7. Can you believe that?) This caused other problems. It continues to have all sorts of difficulties, as I have had to get applications to re-recognize that the computer is back up to 10.4.11. Currently, I am struggling with trying to get iTunes to access it's music folders on the external hard drives. Realized that I hadn't even gotten around to figuring out whether or not some of my other applications work, like some of the games and third party, etc.
The thing is I got a new Intel Mac Mini for Christmas and it's still in the box because as I suspected I need to get my old mac perfect again before I can even think about migrating stuff over to the new Mac. But.. here's the thing... it's starting to look pretty much like 2008 will come and go before I can get the old Mac ready enough to take the new Mac out of the box. This really is rather silly!
Now... I can't get the old Mac to see the music and it made me think. I have all of my iTunes music and iPhoto backed up on an external hard drive (I used Apple's "Back-up" software to do it) and in addition to this two complete copies of the iTunes music and iPhoto photos albums on two separate external hard drives. Should I just forget using migration assistant? Can I get my music and my photo albums into the new mac directly from the external hard drives?
Or...can I use "back up" to restore the music and photos into the new Mac?
I am starting to think that the best way to get my new Mac running is not risk it by attaching it to my old Mac. What do you think?
Thank you so much for any advice or experiences you can give. -Charlotte

I know that I am vacillating back and forth as to what to do. Thanks so much for being patient with me. All of your advice is really appreciated and I am at least closing in on deciding on my strategy. Probably will follow your first response advice, especially considering that some of the third party apps may not have updates to handle Leopard quite yet. Anyway... it's a good strategy since everything is on the externals anyway.
You can say that fine.
Ha ha ha.... yes, I've been messing around with computers since my parents bought our first Apple computer back in 1979. Just like you, I've never had a serious problem with any of the computers and we've had them all, running all sorts of things from the Original Apple and Apple IIc (which my parents still have and it still runs!) to the Commodore and all the Windows permeations and then on to the Macs running Jaguar, Panther and Tiger, probably because we've always been careful with the machines and what we install in them and how we update them. I have always kept my computers on UPS' and un-plug them when storms brew outside. As it is I am still using my eight year old Windows 98 computer, (for games mostly) and it still runs quicker than most peoples windows pcs and it's only a 740 Megahertz.
I haven't had to re-install anything, especially on this lovely little Mac Mini until now and wouldn't have in this situation, had I known more. I had taken the little Mac Mini in for a Procare "Tune-Up," only four days before the big up-date disaster. Not sure what they did to my mac in the tune-up but the guy gave me back the machine assuring me that the computer was perfect with no problems in answer to my asking "were they sure?" Even after the Genius Bar techs at the Apple Store re-installed the OS to fix the big problems it seems that no one ever thought to run verify disk. Had the Genius Bar techs at the time of the tune-up done this, or at least told me to do this, the last security update would not have wrecked so much havoc. It was only after I got the machine back from Apple that second time that I found that the directory had been corrupted when I ran disk verify. Actually it is amazing that I have had this little Mac Mini for so long and so not have had any problems on it that I would be able to go so long without having to know this really pretty important aspect of keeping one's mac in good running shape. I had been running maintenance scripts and permissions verify and repair and thought that was all there was to it. Silly! You know... that really is a testimony of how nice these little machines are.
Anyway... experience is a good teacher and I have learned so much it's actually been great! This stuff is pretty interesting.
Now... on to Leopard!
Thanks so much and you have a great New Year! -Charlotte

If your IPhone is stolen you cannot get a replacement

My iPhone 3g bought at an ATT store 2 months ago was stolen this weekend. I went to the store today to replace it prepared to pay the full $499.00, and was told I couldn't replace it. Only once every 18 months... They won't insure the phone and won't sell you a new one so I'm basically without an iPhone for 18 months. I called Apple Customer Relations and was told this was their new policy, because people were buying multiple iphones and illegally unlocking and selling them. Basically they called me and anyone else whom loses or gets their phone stolen that we are crooks.
I've been a loyal Apple customer since the Apple IIc, but from this moment forward will purchase nothing else from this company. What happened to the Apple that used to care about their customers. Not only do I suffer the inconvenience of not having my iPhone and the loss of money invested, but I can't even replace it.
BAD BUSINESS and will be reported to the BBB, and anyone else I can think of, particularly after my bad treatment from Apple Customer Relations, whom was very rude, and when i asked to speak to her supervisor, said she didn't have one; Customer Relations was the top of the chain...(This was after being on hold for 20-minutes in order to talk to anyone.

Apple or ATT cannot refuse to sell you one. If it's sim free then it has nothing to do with them why you need a new one.

I have an old Mac Tower. I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of hard drive do I purchase. There is not a lot of data to be transferred.

I have an old Mac Tower. I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of of hard drive must I purchase so that it works with the Tower? There is not a lot to transfer.

MG,
What we might need to do is to change the question. What computer do you plan to use the data on in the future? For example, if you have a newer tower, just move the hard drive to the new tower. If you want to use the data, what about an ethernet LAN to get the data over? If you want to archive the data, how do you store the second drive? What are your plans for the first drive? If the new software will not recognize the old file type, the data must be exported. Just getting files to another hard drive will not finish your journey.
As Allan said, knowing the exact model and year of your tower is important. My suggestion is to find a user group near you. Please post back with more information, including the name of a large city near you.
For example, our user group just experimented with a 1983 Apple IIc that predates the Mac. It started right up, read files from 1984 and saved them from a 5.25" floppy to a 3.5" floppy. That 3.5 floppy will go into a platinum G3 which will read PRODOS files using Apple File Exchange. That G3, with a USB card, will allow saving the files to a USB flash drive. But, somewhere along the way, some software has to read the file and convert it to data that is useable by current software.

Can only add music with Autofill from Library (not working with playlists)

I can only add music using the Autofill feature and it will only work when the main music library is selected. Autofill does not work when a playlist is selected and I can not add music directly by dragging songs from a library or playlist as described in the owner's manual.
Is there something wrong with iTunes, the iPod or is this user error?

Hi Steve,
You're right it's the same for me.
I don't know as you mentionned whether it is an user error or not but I've got 2 iPods now, one is 60 Go color display (60Go) and the other received yesterday is 2G iPod Shuffle (Clipod). I can't drag songs from 60Go nor to iTunes Library neither to Clipod Music. The autofill function works only from iTunes Library where I've got 5 songs only (new MacPro), somebody knows how to export 60Go music to iTunes Library ?
Thanks,

Is there a Replacement Program for 2009 iMacs with MXM Graphics Cards?

I have an iMac 24" Early 2009 with the Nvidia GeForce GT 120 256MB MXM graphics card that is freezing and crashing over-and-over, especially when I'm away and it's not connected to my 2nd display! Odd. I've done the usual (cleaned the iMac inside, run fsck, SMC reset, PRAM reset, repair permissions from boot USB, disconnected all peripherals, changed mice and keyboards, changed the HD, reinstalled the OS, run Onyx and so on) and finally decided that it's a faulty graphics card that only a replacement will fix. When I'm home it's more stable when connected via a Displayport DVI adapter to DVI cable to a 24" Dell display. When standalone (like when traveling with my iMac for long stints out of town) it's unusable. It won't run for longer than 30 minutes, often not even 10 minutes, then I get screen artifacts and freezes and then have to fsck to repair the drive before running it again. Only running it in Safe Mode will allow it to run reliably.
However, I believe that I found a stopgap solution. I installed a program which I downloaded after installing XCode called Quartz Debug which has apparently allowed me to disable Quartz Extreme, 2D Acceleration and Quartz GL.
Turning off all Quartz graphics enhancements makes this machine stable if not exactly completely "mac-like" in its performance, but it's at least usable under most conditions for long periods of time. I know of people who have replaced the MXM graphics card on this machine with good effect, but it's an expensive proposition and these cards are apparently few and far between. Has anyone done this?
Based on the large number of nearly identical complaints about this model, both here and elsewhere, it seems like this MXM graphics card is defective or Apple's drivers are defective . . . well maybe, but it very, very predictably crashes when the computer gets hotter and not even _extremely_ hot, but well within what would be normal operating temps for other machines.
I've disassembled and completely cleaned the inside and have replaced the HD with an SSD and removed the optical drive entirely so if anything I've reduced heat-producing devices from the interior of the device installed a fan control and keep the graphics card features mostly turned off.
I've looked for but have yet to see a recall or warranty replacement program for this device and no, I don't have Applecare. I've owned several Apple products in the last two decades and with the issues with Apple products in recent years, it seems like Applecare must be figured as part of any Apple purchase if reliability and ongoing support is desired.
Ironically, I have an Apple IIc and a Power Computing Power Tower 166 that still work just fine, thank you!

This cropped up on my wife's late 2009 model 27" iMac, too. Random freezes were encountered, unable to identify cause for months, then one day it started to become unable to complete a normal boot. Tech Tool Deluxe was the only direct indication as far as diagnostics are concerned. I've NEVER been abvle to get Apple's hardware diagnostic to run from the cloud, and we fianlly got it on a Techs' bench, AHT showed nothing wrong. As you said, Safe boot is the only way to get into the system, and performance under 10.8.5 is glacial.
Now the kicker - we DID have AppleCare, and this phase of the MXM graphics demise hit within 4 or 5 months of AppleCare expiration. There's no longer a flat-rate repair option, Apple doesn't have any stock of the video board to sell as a replacement part (was $169, or $179 w/no exchange) and even refurbs of this paltry (512MB VRAM) board can hit $300. I know Mac users have become 2nd-class citizens in Apple's business universe, but we're now looking at sub-42 month lifespans for hardware? At $2k for a machine that lacks touchscreen option, that's out of line.

Mac Mini and VNC

Hi all,
I've got one Mac Mini G4 and one Mac Pro.
I'm using Mini as a print server for my 3 printers, Pro is wired to the network, Mini is Airport connected.
It works well. I also want to get access to Mini through Pro with OSXvnc server, Mini is headless.
I was using Chicken of the VNC Client on Pro, but due to weird keyboard layout issues (Pro is equipped with Azerty keyboard), I've changed and use VNCThing Client.
This VNC connection was working great with limited 1024 x 768 resolution.
Mini and printers are powered with a remote controlled socket bar, I've tested this system once, thus Mini has been powered off with the remote control.
After restarting Mini, the VNC connexion Window shown up normally on Pro:
http://peloche.smugmug.com/photos/99464454-L.jpg
then after logging in the next window was:
http://peloche.smugmug.com/photos/99464493-L.jpg
I've made a lot of tries, desinstalling VNC server, client, reinstalling etc... the result didn't change, but if I attache any monitor to Mini the VNC display on Pro is perfect...
So I created a 10 GB partition onto Mini HDD, installed OSX 10.4 from scratch, updated to 10.4.8, installed OSXvnc server, configured this server to start automatically when Mini starts.
Result of this new installation is :
- can't have access to Mini's OSXvnc server at start from Pro.
- can access to the server after I log in locally with an attached keyboard and mouse on Mini, then VNC Client works well.
I'm a bit lost, I think that when I suddenly powered off Mini I've corrupted some piece of software but which ??
I don't understand why the fresh OSX install doesn't allow VNC connexion before log in.
I'll really appreciate any help,
Thanks,

Found solution for the first issue:
I've removed the files
1 - Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
2 - Users/myname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.0014510a0cf2.pli st
3 - Users/myname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.preference.displays.0014510a0 cf2.plist
And Yep that works great with Airport only.

Mac Pro using Mac Mini as Print Server

Hi all,
Mac Pro is wired to my network, Mac Mini is Airport connected.
I'd like to use Mac Mini as a Print Server without keyboard and mouse. I've installed OSXvnc-server on Mac Mini and Chicken of the VNC (CVNC) Client on Mac Pro.
Mac Pro's keyboard is azerty as was Mac Mini, it's impossible to loggin with Chicken of the VNC, password is not accepted, I connect an azerty keyboard to Mac Mini and I can loggin.
Typing on Mac Pro in Mac Mini TextEdit through CVNC give weird keyboard layout, not only azerty qwerty different layout.
In between my two Mac Mini there wasn't any problem using CVNC and the same server but Azerty Qwerty layout.
Is there any other solution to use Mac Mini as a print server ? What about using Desktop remote connection ?
Thanks,
Peloche,

Ah… right! That explains it.
So what model printers are they?
Ned,
Printers are HP Color LaserJet 2550L, HP Photosmart 8250 and Epson EPL-5900L.
I've changed the VNC Client from "Chicken of the VNC" to "VNCThing".
Now I can log in from Mac Pro using its Azerty Keyboard as Qwerty Keyboard.
Once logged in I've set Mac Mini Keyboard to "Extended (or Expanded ?) American" keyboard within System Preferences, with this option Mac Mini see the Mac Pro Keyboard as an Azerty layout...
I've connected two printers through USB2 Hub connected to Mac Mini and the third one direct onto Mac Mini USB port.
Back to Mac Pro "System Preferences Fax & Printers", "+", immediatly the 3 printers have been proposed, I've selected them and tested all: it works perfectly.
Mac Mini is set to "restart after power cut" and is connected for power onto a remoted control power distribution sockets, that means Mac Mini is starting and stopped when printers are powered on and off.
The sole small issue is that I can't find how to display Mac Mini GUI on Mac Pro at a better resolution than 1024 x 768.
Thanks for your time,

Media Files

I recently bought my new Mac Book Pro because Im in film school and therefore Mac is the way to go for all things multimedia, right? Here's my question:
Quicktime. Out of the box, my Mac would only read QT MPEGs...nothing else would work. So I visited message boards, and decided that Flip4Mac was the way to go. VLM media viewer is cool to VIEW, but I have to use my Mac to import and burn media files to DVD, so VLM is useless to me unless there's a way to use it with Final Cut/iDVD, iFilm...etc etc...Anyhow, Ive got scores of video files from my PC days saved on webpages, and on DVD-R's...etc etc...
Does anything exist that will run QT quietly and perfectly? Flip4Mac is great. I bought the 50 dollar version and it worked for a couple of days. But now any MPEG file that I download only saves a 4kb file, instead of the whole movie or clip & I get some errors: "QT cannot open movie" and such...
Keep in mind I havent owned an Apple since my Apple iic, so this just may be newbie user error, but it seems that I should have LESS problem & complication doing video work on a Mac than I did on my PC, and thats not the case here.
How do I train my Quicktime to play ALL media types, and burn them successfully to disc?

QT won't play all video types nor is it supposed to. Read a few posts on the generally awful state of AVI's and that dog's breakfast of codecs as a starting point.
Out of the box QT will play a lot more than what you are calling QT MPEG's (I assume you mean MP4 files).
A combo of a few things - MPEG Streamclip, Perian, QT Pro and Flip4mac can at least get you to be able to take many formats and convert them to formats consistent with Final Cut or iMovie.
The 4KB thing is an error on the downloading and has nothing to do with QT.

"Insufficient Bandwidth Problem" and "Did not respond" error messages

I am getting 3 error messages when I try to video chat using isight and ichat with my son's PC (which does video chat with my husband's PC) I have not been able to video chat although I can instant message with my son's PC.
1. It says insufficient bandwidth"
2. It says "starting" for a LONG time, and never finishes.
3. Or they request a chat with me and I get a "Did not respond" message.
I have tried connecting with both my .mac account and my aim name inside of iChat
So far, I have:
1. Changed Quicktime streaming to 1mbps Cable
2. Reinstalled Quicktime 7.0.1, erasing 7.0.3
3. Made an ichat AV entry under Firewall, listing TCP etc ports for network entry, using numbers from previous posts
4. Firewall is off
Since video chat works between my son's computer and my husband's, I doubt that it is our cable company or my son's. My son can also video chat with friends in his area. They are using msn or aim. However I have not been able to establish a connection using ichat.
If there are no other fixes, then I will probably have to call Apple tomorrow for a return on the isight that I just purchased. Too bad, because the Los Angeles Times this morning said that iChatAV image quality is superior to even Skype's new product 2.0 for Windows. At this time Skype does not have a cross platform product. Is that the problem with iChatAV, it really only works with other Macs?
Please advise if there is anything else that I can do to correct the problem. I have used an apple computer for more than 20 years, since the first little Apple IIc that I had. This is the first thing that I haven't been able to figure out.
Thank you,
Linda

HI,
This
1. It says insufficient bandwidth"
2. It says "starting" for a LONG time, and never finishes.
3. Or they request a chat with me and I get a "Did not respond" message.
Normally implies the ports are not open some where.
The bit I have changed to Bold is not specific enough
I have tried connecting with both my .mac account and my aim name inside of iChat
So far, I have:
1. Changed Quicktime streaming to 1mbps Cable
2. Reinstalled Quicktime 7.0.1, erasing 7.0.3
3. Made an ichat AV entry under Firewall, listing TCP etc ports for network entry, using numbers from previous posts
4. Firewall is off
Can you tell us exactly which ports you have opened and which protocols. APple Doc 93208 is Wrong.
1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP and UDP; and 5220, 5222, and 16384-16403, which need to be open for TCP only.
You have not siad what ports you have opened and by what method in your modem ?

I cannot clear history without clearing cookies with Safari 8.0

I have the new Safari 8.0 with OS X Yosemite. I can not clear history without also clearing cookies. With Maverick it was possible to clear history and keep cookies, not now. This is NOT an improvement! Is there a way to keep cookies and clear history?

this is absolutely the worst period of apple I've ever experienced. and I've worked with them since apple iic.
iOS 8 made my working phone a wreck, and then they take down the option to (downgrade) fix it.
yosemite has left with me a computer that cannot do anything. bluetooth is broken and causes audio delay.
there is constant video delay cause of system wide slow down. my system cache is overflowing constantly
since upgrading, i am continously throwing away trash just to keep the system working.
no mail notifications so i have to leave the mail program open all the time which also causes system slowdown.
this is the worst heap of junk they ever "sold" on us. i had working machines, after i did what they said would be fine i now have 2 piles of wasted money.
