Echo Indigo DJ Soundcard with powerbook - problems

Is anybody using the Echo Indigo DJ PCMCIA soundcard with a powerbook?
I've just recieved mine today. I've installed the drivers, copied the "console" programme to my applications folder & repaired permissions. But everytime I stick the soundcard in my PC card slot, my powerbook freezes up totally.
I've also tried with the downloaded version of the drivers from Echo's website.
Any ideas? .....I know there was chip set problems on some PC's, but I assumed (rightly or wrongly) that this wasn't a problem with Macs
I intend to use this set up for DJing with Traktor DJ Studio software. I've also posted this question on Native Instruments' Traktor Forum.....

Sorry to hear of your problems with the Indigo DJ but cannot say I'm totally surprised. About 18 months ago I purchased an Echo Indigo I/O card (virtually identical to your DJ card but with less output options I believe) and for the first year or so all was well. However, after having my PB logic board replaced (due to the well known lower RAM slot memory problem) I have been unable to get the card to work at all ( the PB recognises that a card of some sort has been inserted into the slot but refuses to supply power).
Discussions with Apple point the finger of problem towards Echo and the fact that the current Mac drivers for both of our cards date back to 2003 doesn't help or impress! I did have some e-mail correspondence with Echo about the matter but eventually gave up after repeated non-replies and/or promises about new drivers being "on the way". The card now sits gathering dust on a shelf!
In regard to your own situation, I note that you say your PB freezes up totally when you insert the DJ card. I know that in the early days when my card was working my PB totally refused to boot if I had the card already inserted when I hit the power on button. I had to power up and then insert the card and it would work O.K. Maybe worth a try.

Problem with Powerbook G4 - 15 inch, machine ins currently connected to the

Problem with Powerbook G4 - 15 inch, machine ins currently connected to the DVI/AVI adapter so I can use the powerbook with a monitor attached, and have been doing so for about 3 months so far, with no problems, now, it wont boot up without giving me the grey screen with the "please restart, hold done restart button for several seconds etc". I did the power management reset, take out battery - even though battery dead, and remove adapter, hold down button for 5 seconds etc... it worked, finally booted up, but the DVI/AVI monitor adapter stuff was not connected when it booted up. When i put them back on, and tried to restart, i get the same "please restart, hold done restart button for several seconds etc" what do you think could be happening, could it be the DVI/AVI adapter or something a lot more serious

Thanks and noted.
I'd suggest you post in the PowerBook G4 area. This forum is for
older, pre-G3 PowerBooks and so is probably not the
most likely place for you to get help with your G4.
Good luck.

Powerbook problems after upgrade to 10.4.3

I recently upgraded to 10.4.3 on my 12" Powerbook. Since the upgrade many applications crash immediately after being started including Finder. If I log into a separate profile (eg 'root') the same thing happens however on different applications. For example in my general user profile Finder crashes, in the 'root' sys admin profile it opens okay, however the system preferences app dies. After researching for some hours last night I have found posts from others with similar problems (only on the 12" Powerbook) but no solution to the issue. Thus far I've:
1) Verified and repaired permissions
2) Reinstalled 10.4.3 using the download package
3) Checked I'm not running Quartz 2d (which I never even knew about until the issues so it's unlikely I've ever 'turned it on' by edit the config file.
Any suggestions?

Brett

Have you tried booting from your Tiger CD and running Disk Utility to repair the starup disk? Also, are you using the Combo update or the Delta update? I've never had any problems with the Delta (smaller, incremental) update, but others here have. In many of those cases, the Combo update seems to work for them.
Beyond that, you may want to consider simply reinstalling Tiger, if feasible, especially if your current install is several years old.

What browsers work best with PowerBook G4 Mac OS X 10.4

What browsers work best with PowerBook G4 Mac OS X 10.4?

I still use Firefox 3.6.28 FF 3 is an old version and I get all kinds of warning from Mozilla about it, but I have deactivated those and it still opens web sites perfectly fine. Others have gone to using TenFourFox but I had a group of plugins for Firefox that would not work with TFF.
The main thing you will encounter with browsing these days is a modern Flash plugin no longer supporting G-series Macs. I still use the newest that was available for PPC Macs and have not encountered problems. If you need help I can post about that too but it's a long post.

Help with mic problems please!

Currently I have a Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS sound card with I-Trigue L3500 speakers. I have had this system for a bit now and have never needed to use a mic till recently.
The system has a wired volume/bass control that plugs directly into the sub. It works fine but when I plug a headset into it I can hear sounds fine but can't use the mic function. The controller is clearly marked with 2 stereo mini plugs that seem to be labled with the uni'versal headphone/mic symbol and it seems so dummy proof, guess it isn't?
I'm using a Labtec headset, not the greatest one, but one that sold for about $25 at Best Buy which I guess makes it a mid level one at best.
Please any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!

i have the same problem. i am using an audigy 2 zs soundcard with a t7700 speaker system. i'd like to connect my mic to the volume control unit (because there is a microphone jack) ... but i am wondering why there is no cable connecting the subwoofer with any microphone jack on the sound card.
this brings me to to following question:
FOR WHAT PURPOSE IS THE MICROPHONE JACK ON THE VOLUME CONTROL UNIT?

Hi Venkata from NZ,
If you are having an issue with the speaker on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
Help!

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your help

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Monitors with Gradient Problems?

Hi All,
Further to my recent post "monitor screen display terrible!"
Finding a monitor without spending a lot with excellent picture quality is proving differcult! I have tried a Philips 22" monitor Model 220CW9FB and now a BENQ T900HD 18.5 WS monitor all not as sharp with good contrast as my 4 year old G5 iMac. Also has a gradient problem e.g. as you get up off your chair and continue to look down at the screen the white background of the screen turns light blue then darker and colored parts turn white!? Also looking at an angle to the side anything light blue turns a light brown!? Then as I'm viewing something as in Apple Discussions each box of replies alternate white then light blue and so on but looking at normal distant as you type each box are white. You have to lean back in your chair, twice the distance back to actual see the blue box then white box!?
What's that all about? I have noticed this on the new 20" iMacs too but the three new 24" iMacs are great just like my Rev A G5 iMac of 4 years. Are these inferior screen problems anything to do with them being TN panels as I've just read about?
I really don't know where to go from here as the screen quality is important. I'm use to the great screen quality of my old G5 iMac and don't want to go down in quality for the sake of moving from a Mac PowerPC to an Intel Core 2 Duo even though I need this for EyeTV hybrid and all the features of iLife '09 etc.
I don't want to spend a huge amount for an Apple display as I might as well get the entry level 24" iMac. The main reason for not getting the new iMac is I don't like the glossy screen, although today I heard there is an option for a 24" matt screen... any truth in that? Then again will I be able to return the new Mac mini I've only had for 6 days for a 24" iMac?
Other suggestions seen here is turning my G5 iMac into a stand-a-loan monitor or maybe a 20-year-old CRT 19" TV I have can be used as a monitor and if so what connections are needed? Any ideas on these options?
So buying the new Mac mini has created a lot of unexpected problems. I thought as asked about before getting it was told any monitor would have the same picture quality as my old G5 iMac, but after the fact found out this is not the case.
Thanks for the read & any ideas/thoughts much appreciated...

AFAIK Hmmm Googled "As Far As I Know"... So far I've tried three monitors (all with gradient problem) so it looks like you are correct. I'll try a couple more today as if I need to return my Mac mini with Philips monitor need to do soon for a 24" new iMac even though the Mac mini is not at fault. I'll have to get use to the glossy screen. While writing this an item "iMac or MacBook display too glossy? Apply inexpensive non-glare LCD protective film" has appeared in MacDailyNews.

Thanks for the idea using my G5 as a monitor but maybe quite an involved process?
It's a shame in all my research before buying a monitor no salesperson mentioned TN display panels. Mind you since the problem no salesperson has said they know about TN display panels or better monitors, just saying any monitor will work with the new Mac mini. Very frustrating!

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

I bougt a new Macbook pro in 02/26/2013, in 11/25/ 2013, my trackpad become bulging, they exchange the trackpad, but not the bulging battery. I went there yesterday, with different problem, and they said one screw came off from the truckpad again!

I bought a new Macbook pro in 02/26/2013 from Apple Canadian Ices -003. Than I could not use it, because my cursor uncontrollably was jumping around the screen, I was resumed my trackpad become bulging, Than on11/25/ 2013 they changed my trackpad for free, because was manufactoring defect, but not the bulging battery. They said that is do not needed. Since that my cursor is quiet often quivering, I think my Macbook has serious manufacturing defect. But they said no, during a year period I went to the genius bar at least 15 times, with this and similar problems. I went there yesterday, with different problems, and they said one of the screws came off from my truck pad, therefore they need to fix it and change it. I said: - What, how, what is the real problem? A screw does not comes off just like that? They will change my trackpad again, but not the battery. They said has to rebuild the operation system, I'm saving all of my data right now! I would like to exchange the battery too, or maybe get a new Macbook. My Macbook is 2010 China model. How long I would have this trackpad problem? What are you suggesting?

If it's a 2010 as you say towards the end of your post, it's out of warranty. The battery isn't covered in that case. Why don't you just buy a new battery if that's your concern? If it's a 2013 as you say up at the top, it shouldn't have a bulging battery. How do you know it does? If it really does, ask for the store manager and explain the problem.

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:

Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

I have a new iPhone 6 plus and all is OK. But the mail shows more than 400 'unread' messages whereas there are none in the mailbox or trash or anywhere else I have looked. I can send and receive with no problem. I'm sure I have no unread messages.

How can I use a USB 3.0 HDD with PowerBook G4 12" 1 Ghz OS 10.4.11?

Is it possible to use a USB 3.0 HDD with PowerBook G4 12" 1 Ghz OS 10.4.11? I'm using a HDD with a USB 3.0 tyo 2.0 cable that came with the drive, but it has proven to be extremely unreliable...cloned my system and backed numerous files to 3 partitions on the 1 TB drive, now I can no longer access the drive at all. None off my drive utilities will even show the volumes (TechToolPro, Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, or DataRx). If I plug it into a Windows machine running Windows 7, the drive appears, and is functioning perfectly. I'd just really like to use it with my PB G4, if at all possible...thanks for the help folks...StudioBill

You need drivers and adaptors which I doubt will work with a G4 Powerbook.

i was using same id on 2 iphones with no problems suddenly everything got mess, how can i set a new id w.out losing my contacts?

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps
