Apple talk in OS 9 on blueberry ibook

When I try to turn apple talk on in chooser I get an error message that the printer port is busy -- nothing is plugged in to any port. Any suggestions? I need to get apple talk on so that I can link using ethernet to a snow ibook using OS 10 and transfer files.

Hi, congresswoman -
Make sure that both Shared Library Manager and Shared Library Manager PPC are enabled (checkmarked) in Extensions Manager control panel.
Then throw away these preference files (they can be found in the Preferences folder in System Folder) and restart -
    AppleTalk Preferences
    ASLM Preferences
Once you have restarted, go into the AppleTalk control panel and set it to use Ethernet. Then try turning AppleTalk on.

  • Blueberry ibook RAM & Apple docs

    I also have an original blueberry ibook and would like to upgrade the RAM. However, there seems to be two conflicting pieces of information on Apple's web site:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14870
    The first listing for an ibook (about half way down the page) says PC66 up to 288MB.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302333
    The listing for the original ibook (at the bottom of the page says this model can also use PC100 memory, such as M9089G/A - 512MB
    I have read some of the other postings which suggest the first doc is incorrect and that it will take 512MB. Please help and confirm.
    Having upgraded the RAM I intend to also upgrade from Mac OS 9.2.2 to 10.3.9. Does anyone know if the 366MHz processor will handle this?
    Thank you

    You can find the firmware version by running Apple System Profiler and looking in the ROM field (I believe that is the name I haven't used OS 9 in a long time).
    PC100 will operate at 66 MHz which is the clock speed of the iBook. Therefore you can use PC100.
    A lot of PC133 will also operate at 66 MHz. Therefore you can use PC133. But some PC133 devices will not operate at 66 MHz. That is why you need to buy the RAM from someone who offers a lifetime warranty.

  • Updating original Blueberry iBook to OS X?

    I'd like to update my Blueberry iBook from OS 9 to OS X. Which version can I update to (10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4)? The later versions of the OS only come in disc DVD, which this iBook can't play, only CD-drive. Any ideas? What about any other things I need to update my Mac to OS X?

    Hello Juan
    I've taken a stock, original Tangerine iBook up to OS X (10.3.9). Here is my advice, based on that experience:
    1. Check to see that you have the latest firmware. Here is a link for that info:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    The latest version of firmware for the original iBooks is 4.1.7
    2. Add some RAM. I have a 256MB module in mine, and it works fine. If you have 160MB, you may be able to install OS X, but it will be dirt-slow. (I've had OS X load in as little as 64MB, but it was so slow it was unusable.) 256MB is fine for daily use (e-mail, web surfing, etc).
    3. Depending on what you will do with your OS X powered iBook, a hard drive upgrade is highly recommended. I have run OS X (10.3.9) on the original hard drive, but I had to install nothing but the bare system (no foreign languages, no printers, no extra software). That kind of install is basically limited to checking e-mail and some web browsing. I later swapped out the original 3GB drive for a 20GB unit. Beware: swapping out the hard drive in one of these iBooks is a fairly lengthy process. There are about a zillion little screws and things to keep track of. If you are comfortable with a screwdriver and being around electronics, go for it - if not, a shop would be happy to do it for you. For a look at the tear-down instructions follow this link:
    http://www.pbfixit.com/Guide/49.0.0.html
    And decide for yourself if you want to tackle the job.
    4. You need OS X install CDs. The latest version of OS X that will run on your iBook (once you get the hardware up to spec) is Panther (10.3). I would not suggest any version earlier than Jaguar (10.2), which will also run quite well on your machine. You can get the CDs on eBay (as has been suggested) or from online retailers such as
    http://www.hardcoremac.com/
    Note: make sure you get retail CDs - NOT CDs that cam with a particular computer - retail CDs can be installed on any machine, while others are machine-specific
    That's about all I can think of for now. Good luck!

  • I can see only one Printer with Apple Talk, but there are five ???

    I have a problem on only one mac, with the Apple Talk. We have over 100 Macintosh and all the other machines see the five printers. But this one can only see "one" printer???
    What is this? We change the switch port but nothing.
    Can i delete any chaches oder preferences to clear the printers???
    The problem Mac have 10.3.9

    Have you added the other printers to the problem mac?
    If you have then my guess is that it is a network issue. How are the printers and macs networked?

  • Restoring original Blueberry iBook G3 with Mac OS 8.6

    I recently got a Blueberry iBook G3 and need help restoring it. It has all original documentation and CDs. It has 160 MB of RAM and a 3 GB hard drive. It doesn't have an AirPort card. When I try to restore it it boots and loads to a preloaded desktop (on CD) and then shuts down without giving me any messages or options. I want to install the original software and then upgrade to Mac OS X.

    I don't have another battery or a charger (only one). Anyway, it works with Mac OS X (i installed it and it worked), but I want the original software on it. Also, the logicboard is working correctly

  • I have just been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks.  I have now changed my passport but want to know if I will be charged as I did not download this ?

    I have been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks.  I have now changed my password as I have not downloaded ibooks.  I would like to know if I am going to be charged ?

    Was it a genuine email from Apple or a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details ? Whether you will be charged will depend if anything was downloaded on your account, and whether or not it was a free item - we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if anything has been bought on your account.
    The iBooks app is free app, but if you haven't already done so then check to see if anything shows on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.
    If a purchase shows there and you didn't make it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Blueberry iBook and Epson projector..

    I know this is similar to another post but my iBook is older and the projector is different. The only cord I can find (my brother donated this computer to my classroom) is a short 6" clear cord with what looks like a yellow A/V type end (female) and a round (male) pronged (sorry-can't think of what its called) end. Each ends says "out". Is there another cord??

    Sorry but the Blueberry iBook does not have any type of video output. Therefore there is no way to connect it to a projector.

  • Kodak apple talk printer to TCP/IP Snow Leopard

    Hi!
    Did anybody try to connect using TCP/IP to a Kodak Apple Talk old printer (example 8650 PS)?
    I tried JP Socket and LPD, with an IP different than my computer (last three numbers), using postscript generic software and communication is not completed, it says printer paused.
    I had a similar problem with my GCC Elite and using after the IP added 3300 the printer worked perfect.
    Any work around for this Kodak?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Happy Holidays!

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Snow Leopard has apparently dropped support for AppleTalk. Check this Web page for advice:

  • Apple Talk won't activate

    I have an iMac G3, 400 MHz, 192 MB, running 10.2.8. My printer is a LaserWriter 4/600PS. It is connected to the computer by an AsanteTalk switch which allows me to use the ethernet port for Apple Talk. I have a G5 with an HP printer which I usually use; however, when I want to use my laser printer for a project, I use the G3.
    The last time I used it, the printer worked. Today, the G3 will not recognize a printer. When it gives me the opportunity to add a printer, it tells me that I have to activate AppleTalk. When I go to network preferences, the AppleTalk box is already checked. I have checked it and unchecked it several times; however, I still cannot add a printer. I have even gone into the Classic 9 environment and tried to add it via the chooser, and when I click the activate Apple Talk button, it tells me Apple Talk is not available.

    Donna,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried what you suggested. I first went to the Classic chooser and tried to activate AppleTalk from there. Once again, it would not allow me to choose a printer, and it told me to activate AppleTalk in the network preferences. I went to what I think is the Classic network preferences and checked for it to turn AppleTalk on and received this message: That application or control panel is not supported by Classic. In the process, I discovered that my extensions panel for Classic was turned off. I turned it back on and tried your suggestion again with the same result.
    Before doing this, I ran Norton Disk Doctor on the hard drive, and it came up with one major problem and some minor ones. Only one of them mentioned AppleTalk, and it said it was fixed.

  • I have an old aol email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure.

    I have an old AOL email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure. Any way I can find out what I used it for in the past?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign into manage your apple id with any apple ids you have access to and see if you're account is either an alternate email address or a rescue address.  If it is, remove it.  Have family members or friends check theirs, if they have apple ids, just in case.
    If that fails...
    Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
    You'll need to speak to someone in account security.  They'll have to go through a verification process with you, in order to reveal information.  If you fail that process, they will be able to tell you nothing.

  • Will OS X work with blueberry ibook ?

    If my blueberry ibook only has 33 mhz, can it be rtamped up to work with OS X?I am using system 9.2 with 320 mg of memory built in

    Piet-
    I just did a clean install on a blue clamshell ibook-I installed OS 10.3.7 and it used all the HD space. I dumped garage band and some other apps and now freed up 3 g of space, but how can I do a custom install and get the OS down to 1.4g like you mentioned? Or...can I go back now and dump other things to clear space? (I will run delocalizer).

  • Apple talk vs NS00987UF

    Anyone know what the difference is between Apple Talk printing and the other network assigned printers. When using appletalk my network of printers list do not have the long numbers out beside them. If not using appletalk then there is a long number in parenthesis out beside the printers name.
    Thanks

    AppleTalk is no longer supported in OS X. It's presence is only to allow connections to older machines using OS 9 or earlier or for older printers that only support AppleTalk. Modern printers use USB, Ethernet, or Firewire connections so AppleTalk need not and should not even be activated.
    Printer names can be user-modified using Print & Fax preferences.

  • Why is apple showing p0rnography on itunes store and ibooks even if we have explicit content is blocked?!

    Why is apple showing p0rnography on itunes store and ibooks even if we have explicit content blocked?! I am very unhappy about this. Especially being that it is plastered on the front page of itunes music store right now. (I am referencing S#X playlist by Omarion).

  • HELP ME!!! Blueberry ibook

    Hey guys! I am a complete newbie to apple. I just inherited an ibook Blueberry from my mother's boss. It is running OS 8.6. I have no clue where to find its specifications. I want to know how i would go about upgrading to 9.x or OS X. Also I just bought an ethernet cord and cant figure out how to connect through my modem at home. And as if that wasnt enough, I have to keep it plugged into the wall b/c the battery shows a red X over it and wont charge. Can someone please help me and keep the Techie talk to a min b/c I am super confused. IF possible anyone, Thankyou.

    I have no clue where to find its specifications.
    Choose Apple System Profiler from the Apple menu.
    I want to know how i would go about upgrading to 9.x or OS X.
    Purchase and use a retail Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X package after reading the system requirements and getting the computer's specifications.
    Also I just bought an ethernet cord and cant figure out how to connect through my modem at home.
    It needs to be a cable modem to use Ethernet. If it is a dialup modem, you need a phone cord.

  • Do I need an agreement with Apple to sell a textbook created by iBooks Author on iBookstore?

    Thank you,
