EVDO (EV-DO) AnyData ADU-520A and PowerBook G4

I have an AnyData ADU-520A EVDO device (enabled, and working on a Microsoft laptop) for wireless Net. When I insert it into my PowerBook, I get an alert-panel saying that the disk I inserted is unreadable. Do I need to download something so that EVDO can work on OS X? If so, could someone please point out where the download can be found? (anydata.net does not load and there's nothing I could find on qualcomm.com)

EVDO's third party cards have a mixture of compatibility:

is a user tip I made some time ago which listed those which were compatible then. Maybe getting one of those will work better.

EVDO Kyocera 6250 Modem Card Saturates and Stalls Connection

Has anybody been able to get the Kyocera 6250 modem to work reliably with the Verizon EVDO network?
It looks like at maximum download speeds, the modem/PPP/TCP Stack are saturated and stall. It requires powering down/ejecting the modem card to get it going again.
I can avoid the issues by throttling the download to 48 kbytes/sec.
Verizon support has elevated the issue, but no solution. The card and setup works fine on a Dell laptop.

I finally decided to clear off a spare drive and install a new version of Tiger.
The problem can be replicated on two systems (TiBook and PowerBook) running a fresh installation of Tiger with just VZ Access Manager added - no patches, no applications.
All looks fine until you start several threads of downloads bringing up the kbytes/sec above 60 or so. Then it takes up to 90 secs and the connection WILL stall requiring shutting down the connection and card before being able to reconnect. Access Manager continues to believe, it's a live connection, but no data is coming in.
This looks like a SmithMicro problem.
The system is also not able to reliably deal with multi homing. Enabling your Wifi or ethernet to connect to a LAN leads to frequent disconnections. In this case, the Access Manager is managing the state, however.

IBook and Powerbook Poster

I just bought this Fabric Poster from apple. It has a picture of the iBook G4 and Powerbook G4 and in the middle it says "Too bad you only have one Lap"
Is this a geniune product, on the back it has a copyright date of 1996.
Where do you think this was used? When? Is it rare?
Its pretty big too, probably 2 feet wide and 4 feet tall?

I have keynote on ipad2 and powerbook g4. if I send a keynote work from mac to Ipad, I cannot read it. any solution?

I have keynote on ipad2 and powerbook g4. if I send,by mail, a keynote work from mac to Ipad, I cannot read it.there is no problem fram Ipad to mac. any solution? thanks

How are you trying to transfer the Keynote presentation?
You can email the presentation to yourself and open it with Keynote on your iPad.
You can use iTunes. Connect your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes, go to the App Tab for your device and add your presentation to the Apps/Keynote section. Now if you touch the "+" in keynote on your iPad you will get the choice Copy from iTunes.
Your can setup iCloud on your laptop & iPad and save your Mac laptop presentation to iCloud and just open it on your iPad.
There are, of course many other ways, Dropbox, etc.

I am planning on recycling an old iMac and Powerbook. However, the display on the iMac is so messed up I can't read anything and the Powerbook is unusable (no power) so what do I do about erasing the hardrives for security?

I've been reading up on how to clean your hard drive so personal information can't be accessed, but if you can't get to your hard drive to clean it up, what are you supposed to do? My town is offering an electronics recycling and I was hoping to drop off my old iMac and Powerbook. I can turn the iMac on, but the display is really bad and almost unreadable. The Powerbook is completely dead. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Since both computers have operational problems, I'd suggest removing the hard drives from them. That way, you'll have possession of the drives and their data. Considering their age, I doubt that the recycling program will attempt to repair these computers for donation to needy parties, but if you thought so, you could buy a $15 adapter that would let you connect the bare drive to a USB port on your functioning computer. Once connected, you could erase the drives and reinstall them. You didn't indicate which iMac you have, but if it's a G3 model, this Macworld article has illustrated directions for hardware upgrades, which would show you how to remove the hard drive. If your iMac is a G3 (400 MHz or faster) with the additional VGA port concealed under the plastic door on the rear of its underside, you could connect a VGA display and attempt setting up video mirroring. Once done, you could wipe the drive, while using the connected display to navigate through the procedure. This would eliminate the need to open the bottom of the housing, to access the hard drive for removal. As for the PowerBook, you could post a topic in its specific Forum (depending on the model) and request directions for hard drive removal. Post back as to your preferred option, if you have any questions regarding it.

New Airport extreme station and Powerbooks. No go

Got a new AE (802.11n) FW 7.1 and got 4 Macintel computers on it, that works. But then I got 2 Powerbooks that sometimes sees the network but when connected only stay connected for maximum 30 min. And then you cant connect for about one hour.
Powerbooks have 10.4.9 and 802.11g-cards.
The network uses WPA , channel 2, and all got public IP-adresses. The station also acts as a router and DHCP-server.
Its connected from the modem > HP switch > ethernet network > Airport station > computer.
Anyone?

Neptune2000,
If your system works great for you that's the way it
should be. I'm a KISS type person and I don't
understand the need for the extra hardware if you
don't need it. Or do you need it?
It appears that acke's system is all Apple no PC
based computers.
It's also a different evironment - European based.
Just curious.
What I meant "that's the setup I have" I meant this:
Verizon DSL Modem --> AEBSn --> (AEBSn extended) --> Powerbook G4, Apple TV, Toshiba notebook
I meant I do niot have the extra hardware, which seems only there to add complexity.

USB thumb drive crashes MBP and PowerBook G4

Hi!
I have a USB thumb drive. It mounts on the Desktop (as two drives, which is not strange because it has both an internal 6 MB of memory and a 2GB SD card) and I can open them. But if I attempt to copy a file either to or from the drive, the Finder hangs forever.
This problem exists both on a shiny new MacBook Pro with 10.4.7, and a PowerBook G4 with 10.3---in either case, I must hard-reboot the machine.
DiskUtility says that the drive checks out OK.
Any thoughts? I tried reformatting the thumb drive, which worked temporarily; but when I added a file to the drive on another machine and tried to transfer it to the Mac, the thing hangs Finder again.
I don't have any problems with the drive on PCs, and I don't have the problem with other USB drives on the Mac.
Xcott

It sounds like the file system is corrupt. I am assuming it's FAT32. I would reformat the drive partitions on a Windows machine and see if that helps.
Also, because it's a dual, you might want to make certain that you do not plug it into a hub or a keyboard but directly into your Mac's USB host port. It may need additional power...
Good Luck!

Insufficient privledges when sharing between iMac and Powerbook

I just upgraded both my powerbook and iMac to Leopard and want to turn on file sharing between the two. The way it used to work with Tiger, I would just click on the drive on my network and it would give me read and write privledges. Now it is saying that I have insufficient privledges. I can get the powerbook to mount the iMac and vice versa but can't seem to do much else.
I am trying to move my iPhoto library from my Powerbook to my iMac.
Thanks

If you are trying to write directly into the iPhoto Library, note that it is not a regular folder but a package. The permissions on the iPhoto Library package only allow writing by the owner, so another approach is needed, such as those mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198

Need help backing up info from MacPro AND Powerbook G4 to external drive...

As the title implies, I would like to backup my stuff from my MacBook Pro AND my OLD dinosaur PowerBook G4 to an external Seagate drive.
What would be the best/easiest way to move this to the external?
I am mainly concerned with my Photos, Movies, Music.
I remember having a nightmare of a time with the PowerBook as I had a corrupted the photo library and had photos ALL over the place! I became very frustrated and bought the newer MacPro. (lesson learned)
I decided to pull out the dino and have decided to conquer it again. Could someone help me out or point me in the right direction?
I have the most current version of SuperDuper on my MacPro. I bought a 1st gen Time Capsule and resold it because of all of the problems people were having with them. Will get a NEW Time Capsule soon but no funds now. (Christmas coming up)
Thank You!
BTW: I wasn't sure where to post this question.....? PowerBook discussions or MacPro discussions?

Fully-updated 10.5 on your PowerPC will work fine with a Time Capsule, as will 10.5, 10.6, or 10.7 on a Mac Pro. This is the easiest to manage in the long run, once you make certain it is actually performing the backup without error.
(Some users find their first backups fail due to bad disknames or bad filenames or damaged files, but once these are eliminated, it seems to work fine.).
You can manually move a single external drive into position to back up each Mac in turn, but that is more work and you lose automaticity, so Time Machine would not necessarily be the best backup solution. Bootable clones may be preferable. Most folks would suggest that BOTH solutions should be used for best results.
Drives are cheap. We used to spend US$1000 for 80 MegaBytes.

Can't get Mini and Powerbook to share connection

I have a Mini, running Leopard, and a Powerbook G4 running Tiger, and recently got high speed internet. I've never had high speed before, so I am REALLY new to this. I have modem that I plugged into my Airport Base Station and can get the signal on both computers, but they won't share the connection. What am I doing wrong? I've had other computers share the connection before, but these two won't... Help please!

Some more info may help....
-Did you use both computers with the Airport and a standard dialup internet acccess before?
-What other 2 computers shared before? Both wirelessly?
-Does 1 computer work?
-What kind of high speed do you have now, cable, DSL, etc? When it was installed, did you do it, or a technician? Was it proved to work on at least 1 computer?
-What modem are you plugging into the Airport?
-You say both computers get signal; is this just from observing the "fan" icon on the menu bar?
-When you say share, do you mean just both computers using the internet connection, or do you also mean file sharing between the 2 computers?
-Which model Airport base station do you have? How was it configured?
-Have you looked at the Network Preferences on the computers to see what the settings say?
Hopefully this is solvable with enough information.

Being Shocked/Broken USB/Turbon fan and powerbook

I have a 12" powerbook G4 - 867 mhz operating the most 10.4.2, 40 gigs, and 1.12 GB ram.
I bought this from an apple store in April 2003, shortly after they came out. In October, the hard drive became corrupted and Apple replaced it, but I lost all my data. This happened again in December. Then, I decided to up my ram from 256MB to 640MB using memory from apple (I foolishly bought it from them spending a lot of inheritance on it - something I thought would be a good value). Next September (2004), my hard drive became corrupted again and apple replaced the hard drive, but very unwillingly. When they received the powerbook it had the wrong hard drive in it, one not supported by apple. Since I don't know how to even open the powerbook, I was perplexed by the whole matter. After three hours on the phone, I got them to fix the problem. Turns out it was a service center that apple no longer works with that changed the hard drive.
Recently (a few months ago) my powerbook has been acting up. It gets incredibly hot (58 degrees Celsius) even with the fan on (I actually posted something like this in March or so). I don't run any huge programs, though I usually have itunes and adium always open. I think that because the fan was constantly on, the fan may have broken somewhat and the fan now makes a rattling sound whenever it's on, making a really annoying noise that can be heard by people I'm talking on the phone with. I couldn't quite figure out why it got so hot. I even bought a fan that goes underneath the computer to cool it down, and while this works, the fan comes on eventually, still making the annoying sound. I investigated this by looking at activity monitor and couldn't figure it out. The processor rarely ventured above 30% of it's power. I backed up my things, did a clean install, reinstalled everything one by one until the computer made the noises it did. It didn't take me long to do that, as just turning the computer on forced the fan to turn on and not work so well. Whenever I took it to the apple store it was too loud in the store to hear the fans so they looked at me like I was crazy. So I wanted to give up on them and figured this was just another corporation trying to screw the little guy. It annoyed me, but I got on with my life.
Randomly, about two months ago one of the USB ports started to work only occasionally, and according to my friend who is somewhat of a computer geek, it was not providing enough power to my devices. I figured I would take it to the apple store once I got home from school for fall break (I live two blocks from an apple store at home).
Then I decided to upgrade the memory on my computer about three weeks ago. Although apple officially only supports 640 MB for this model of powerbook, I had heard that it could take an additional gig and upgraded. It works(ed) fine. I'm able to run more programs at once, but the computer still gets really hot. Still, the CPU is only working about 30%.
Then I realized that I should probably try it under a new user. I created a new user account, but still both problems persisted.
So then last night, I noticed that the left shell of my powerbook was giving me an electric shock. It went away when I unplugged the powerbook, but came back as I plugged it back in. (kinda weird though, being that the shell is made of aluminum) It didn't hurt, but after using my computer it was making my hand rather sore, kinda like if I had been lifting something all day. I figured that this couldn't be good, so I shut the book off and figured I would go to the apple store today because I came home today.
Well, when I got home I set up an appointment to meet at the "genius bar". When I got there I explained the history of my powerbook and the problems I had been having recently. When he got onto my computer he noticed that I had 1.12 gigs on my computer. Immediately he told me that he could do nothing unless I put in the original 256 MB that were in the powerbook w

USB 2.0 hubs and devices increase the PB's fan activity. For connecting low speed devices, use a 1.1 hub. If you need an external hard disk, better choose a Firewire or a Combo drive.

Itunes on both external hard drive and powerbook hard drive.

I currently have itunes running on my powerbook G4, but have about 300 CD's that I want to import but wont fit.
I bought a lacie hard drive with the thought that I could move my itunes application and library onto this external hard drive, import all my CD's.
What I want to do is to be able to open up itunes on the lacie drive and have access to all my music, but be able to disconnect my powerbook and be able to run itunes on it with the current library I have. Essentially keeping both applications and libraries separate from each other. When I install the application on my lacie drive, open it, change the library location under preferences to access the hard drive, import a CD, this CD now appears on the itunes app I open on my powerbook. Is there a way to keep them separate? How do I create my full library on the LaCie Drive, but be able to still maintain a more limited library on my powerbook in an easy way?

Hi donnarose -
My music set up sounds similar to what you are trying to do. I have a 250 GB external drive at home that I connect to when I want to access my entire iTunes library. I have the iTunes app in my applications folder on my powerbook. I kept the original iTunes library file on my powerbook and created a new one for all the music on the external drive. If my external drive is not connected I can ask iTunes to use the library on the powerbook, and when the drive is connected iTunes uses the library there. By holding down the option key when iTunes launches, you are prompted to choose or create a library file.
That's probably not the clearest explanation, but it's working well for me.
Good luck.

Sync My Intel Imac and Powerbook

This may have been asked before...however:
I have a Imac intel at home and on the road I use the powerbook. Is there any application that will let me keep both the powerbook HD and the IMAC HD in sync COMPLETELY.
Ie at the end of the day attach the powerbook to the Imac with a firewire cable and the application then looks at changes on both and updates both machines to be in sync....
However sometimes the files on the Imac will have been updated and then Imac then needs to update the files on the powerbook...
Might not be such a application in existence.......Hope I explained it alright.
Cheers
D.

Thanks for the info!
I'll try them out.
Out of interest would this work: If I do a complete clone of my Intel Imac onto my Powerbook G4 will this work?
What I mean is there is nothing on the Intel Imac that will not run on the Powerbook application wise because they are universal or powerpc programs?
Have I got that right?
Cheers

Networking MacBook and PowerBook G4

Good morning,
I have been trying to network a new MacBook to my older PowerBook G4. Appletalk is on in both computers and the firewalls are off. When I create airport networks with both computers, my PowerBook continually shows an 'error when trying to connect to' the MacBook.
Any advice on where to go from here?
Also, when they network successfully, will I see the icon of the other computer under the Networks icon in the finder?
Thanks for your help.

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I have a question about the surface the "books" have been sitting on. What is that desktop surface in the pictures? I can't tell, but what I am thinking is maybe both computers have been overheating because they are sitting on an insulating surface, like a heavy cloth, so no airflow or heat radiation is being promoted. That's one thing I can think of that might be common to the two. I doubt any other environmental conditions would bring this on. Certainly not the Denon speakers. Maybe you are just unlucky enough to have gotten two defective Macs. The odds against it are high, but not impossible.

23 inch and Powerbook G4

I am using dual display with a 23 inch cinema display and my Powerbook G4. It works great, but I would like to just disable my Powerbook's display completely, so that the entire desktop is on the cinema display. I haven't been able to find an option to do this. Is it possible? Thanks!

Hi, I have a setup similar to yours, I just close the lid down on my powerbook, the system then sleeps and I then wake it up using my external mouse or keyboard.
