Dial-up Powerbook = iPad?

I currently use a Titanium PowerBook with dial-up access when visiting a holiday home in the hills where there is no broadband, and no 3G, in fact no mobile signal at all.
I have now got an iPad (which was to replace the PowerBook) and have discovered the problem!
Is there any way I can dial-up on the PowerBook, connect to the Internet, and somehow get the signal to an Airport router?

Could she use the old airport with modem built in?
yes, if you can find one.
You'll need a computer to set it up though.

Mac Pro refuses to establish a vpn connection

Hello out there...
I have a 6 month old Mac Pro. Unfortunately this computer refuses to establish a reliable vpn connection to my office. All the other gear I have (powerBook, iPad and iPhone) does it.
The Mac Pro is erratic. Sometimes he connects but then all of a sudden after two or three minutes the vpn connection is beeing closed. The other day it works for hours....
He did so before the system upgrade and does it now after the upgrade to 10.6.8
I am realy desperate to get a solution for that....

Hi Kris,
The ASA supports different kinds of VPN, i.e. SSL (aka SVC for Ssl Vpn Client), IPsec or L2TP/IPsec.
For IPsec it suports both IKEv1 and IKEv2 (as of version 8.4).
On the client side,
the legacy Cisco VPN client uses IPsec with IKEv1.
Anyconnect 2.x uses SSL.
Anyconnect 3.x can use either SSL or IPsec/IKEv2.
So the Cisco clients do not use L2TP, but L2TP functionality is built-in in some OS's, like Windows and Android.
Personally I have not had the opportunity yet to lay my hands on an Android device to try this out, so I hope Michael or the people in the other thread can help you out if you need more details.
As to what's different, that's a short question with a long answer
One important difference between SSL and IPsec is that at some places IPsec may not work because the network provider blocks UDP500, while SSL uses TCP443 which is usually not blocked because it's the standard port for HTTPS.
Another one is that for Anyconnect, you need a license on the ASA (it does include a free license for 2 concurrent users).
Just a few pointers:
And probably Wikipedia is a good place to start reading as well if you want the full picture

Uverse - Airport Extreme and MacBook Pro assigned same IP address

Ok, so I have a Uverse RG -> Airport Extreme -> bunch of computers. For some reason, everytime my MacBook Pro sleeps and then I wake it up, it says it can't connect to the internet because there is another device with the same IP address. None of my other Macs (iMac, Powerbook, iPad, iPhones) ever exhibit this behavior. I'm not sure what's going on here. It's almost like the AE takes on the IP address of the MacBook Pro every time it sleeps (or maybe its the other way around). If I go to advanced settings on my MBP and try and renew the DHCP lease, it won't renew and continues to give me the same error message. If I log on to the AE and renew the DHCP lease, it comes back just perfect. This has to be an issue with my RG since it's assigning the IP addresses right? I tried manually setting the IP address of my AE. That seemed to fix it for awhile, but then the MBP again started reporting the same IP address as another device on the network. I didn't discover which device it was, but I did determine it was not the AE since it was configured with a manual IP address. This is getting pretty frustrating as I have to log on to the AE and reset the DHCP lease every time I leave and come back to my MBP. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

I had the same problem with an Airport-enabled iMac.
Here's what I did that fixed the problem:
Log into the Uverse Admin Tool through your browser.
Click on the Settings tab.
Click on the LAN link in the grey bar
Click the circle in front of "Configure Manually"
Set the "Router Address" to 192.168.1.254
Set "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.0
Set "First DHCP Address" to 192.168.1.100
Set "Last DHCP Address" to 192.168.1.199
Click the "Save" button. (You'll probably have to enter your password.)
Now open the Airport Utility.
Choose your Airport Express on the left and click the "Manual Setup" button.
Click the "Internet" icon in the top bar.
Click on "TCP/IP"
Select "Manually"
Set "IP Address" to 192.168.1.42
Set "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.0
Set "Router Address" to "192.168.1.254"
Set "DNS Server" to "192.168.1.254"
Click the "Update" button.
This sets your Uverse router, which is handing out the IPs, to only give IPs out that number between 100 and 199. It reserves the rest for you to enter manually. So your laptop, your iPhone, etc, will get the DHCP addresses between 100 and 199 but your Airport Express will *always* have 42.
You may have to reboot everything to make sure each device gets the new IPs.
Also, there is no significance to the 42 number. It can be anything between 1 and 99.

Jabber iPad can't dial internal/external, can't pick up calls

I've installed the COP file into my CUCM, setup my tablet and successfully authenticated however I'm running into two very odd problems.
1) If I dial my extension, Jabber for the iPad recognizes the call and asks me to pick up, however when I select answer, Jabber does not answer -- the buttons dissapear, and jabber rings for a moment or two more, and the calling phone then hears my voicemail.
2) I can get nothing but busy signal when dialing internally or externally.
My iPhone version of jabber, and my webex connect integration are working flawlessly.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
~ Jeremy

Hi rmille05,
Thanks for your update.
According to the description, I notice that Company A can't send email to Company B via Outlook.
How is the impact, one user or all users?
Please try to use OWA to send email to Company B from Company A.
If OWA can send email perfectly, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
1. Please run Outlook under safe mode to avoid AVs and add-ins for testing.
2. Please re-create profile to refresh the caches.
3. Please try to delete OAB files on local computer, the path of OAB folder in Win7, Win8 as below:
\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Offline Address Books
Then try to download OAB manually.
4. If all methods above don't work, please try to check whether OAB files generated, distributed correctly.
5. Any related Error/Warning/Information message will be helpful for the further troubleshooting.
Thanks

How can I connect my Powerbook or iPad Retina via HDMI cable to 4K digital video camera to be a "control monitor"

That won't work with the iPad, unless maybe there's a "control monitor" app somewhere.

I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

You can't simply change the details.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

My partner and I share the powerbook and I use my iPad, Though we each log in with separate accounts all my pics and music are in both libraries . Can I isolate accounts from iCloud ?

Not quite sure exactly what you want to do, but you cannot do it on a PowerBook. iCloud requires Lion and Lion requires an Intel MacBook or MacBook Pro.

Apple, what have you done? 8.01 makes my ipad seems like it is back on dial up. Don't fix what ain't broken, or is your policy break it so we have to fix it?

Hi The best option is to do a factory Reset this will get rid of any bugs And set up iPad as new. Just use same Apple ID you will get all your Apps & Data back. Do this over Wifi Cheers Brian

This means your PB is actually an Aluminum PB G4 (not Titanium).

Yes, but good luck finding 10.5 at a decent price.
if i upgrade what the max for memory and hard drive i can go?
Your PB needs a PATA (most current HDs are SATA), so size is more limited (maybe 160GB?) and price significantly higher. Max RAM is 2GB.
can i go higher then 10.5 version after upgrade?
Nope.
can my powerbook support all this upgrade?
Yes, but that "free" iPad is going to cost you quite a bit going this route.

My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?

Hi
My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?
Copying over photos via iTunes/iPhoto - there is a back-up file created (I can not turn it off) and it's now filling my PB-Pro.
So I need to find it and trash it and start over.
- Where is it located ?
- What is it's name ?
Yours Bengt W

Thank You
I found my iPhoto library
ctrl-clicked on it and opened package/content
here I found the iPod photo cashe folder
copyed this to a safe hard disk
then deleting it's content
and my memory/free space on boot drive is back
So I hope all's well.
Yours Bengt W

I am contemplating purchasing an iPad, and then possibly a Macbook pro. Currently, I have an iMac G5, and a Powerbook G4. Neither which can be upgraded past Leopard. My question is do I need to have Snow Leopard in order to be able to update an iPad?

I am contemplating purchasing an iPad, and then possibly a Macbook pro. Currently, I have an iMac G5, and a Powerbook G4. Neither which can be upgraded past Leopard. My question is do I need to have Snow Leopard in order to be able to update an iPad? Do I need to reverse my thought on which to buy first?
I plan on keeping the iMac and PB until they cease to work ( have replaced HD's on both already). I mostly use the PB-- lots of writing, surfing, email, etc.
Your thoughts?

The minimum Mac specs (from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/) are :
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access
So you only need Leopard, not Snow Leopard

Can you connect an ipad to a powerbook g4

is it possible to connect an ipad to a powerbook g4?

Here's the iPad requirements.
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
iTunes Store account
Internet access
It's possible that the iPad would work using USB1.1, but it would be much, much slower than USB2.0
