Has anyone set up a G3 powermac with 8.6 to Sympatico?

I am trying to switch over from a 56K modem dialup to the Bell Sympatico High Speed. I have a Speedstream router and have successfully set up my PC computer. However, I am running into brick walls when it comes to my Mac. The software they sent me doesn't work with OS 8.6 and I was told to go to the Apple site to download verson 1.1 however, when going to the site, it gives me the site is not found error message. The people at Sympatico are useless when it comes to Mac.

Turn off the power to your SpeedStream.
Open the Preference Folder in your System Folder and remove the TCP/IP preference file to some place outside your system folder and keep it as a backup. Quit and restart your Mac.
Be sure the ethernet cable is securely attached to your SpeedStream and to your Mac’s ethernet port.
Open the TCP/IP control panel
Go to the Edit menu/UserMode and click “advanced”. Close the UserMode and save if it asks.
Go to the File menu/Configurations/
Choose “Default,” duplicate it and rename the duplicate whatever you want
Click “Make Active”
You should now have a TCP/IP window.
Click on “Options” and click on “make active”
At the top of the TCP/IP window:
Connect via: ethernet
Configure: Using DHCP server
Leave the DHCP Client ID field blank for now (Ask Sympatico later if they have a number for you to put in there; that is something they determine.)
Leave the Implicit Search Path and the Ending Domain Name fields blank
In the name server address field, Sympatico should have given you a set of numbers in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to put in here.
Likewise, Sympatico should give you a name in the form of something like “sympatico.net” or so to put in the Additional Search domains field. However, I don’t believe, although I’m not sure, that it is not absolutely essential to have these two filled in, as your DSL feed itself should be getting you to these places (maybe!)
Save this configuration.
Shutdown your Mac.
Turn on your SpeedStream and wait until the lights stop blinking. This should take about a minute roughly, more or less. Notice how many lights and what the names of the lights are, and report that back if this all doesn’t work.
Restart your Mac again.
Open up your browser. I think you should be connected at this juncture.
Good luck!
As to the upgrading to OS 9.x, I don’t believe that is absolutely necessary, as I believe that you should be able to connect with OS 8.6. However, it is unlikely that upgrading to OS 9.1 would cause you any problems. I’ve found almost nothing which runs on OS 8.6 that won’t also run on OS 9.1. However, there is a number of neat utilities and programs out there which do require OS 9.1 and won’t run on OS 8.6. Do not get OS 9.0 or 9.0.x retail install disks if you can avoid it, as OS 9.1 is the version you would want to use on your Mac. Given how the Mac world is going these days with the Intel Macs now out, the old MacOS 9.x and below and all the old non-OS X Mac programs are no longer going to run on the new Macs. Therefore, it behooves one to get one's “classic” Mac house in order for the long haul, if one wants to keep running one’s old Macs “forever.” Since a PowerMac G3 (I assume you have one of the beige Macs with the SCSI port, serial port, etc.?), you have one of the great Macs to keep for a long time. Thus, getting OS 9.1 wouldn’t be a terrible idea, if you otherwise like the Mac, have peripherals for it which work, etc.

Has anyone tried M-Audio ProjectMix IO with Logic?

Has anyone tried M-Audio ProjectMix IO with Logic?
I know M-Audio's drivers have had issues, but it looks interesting.

The Fishman Triple Play is simply the best hardware option to date for triggering external MIDI whether hardware sound modules or software instruments.
Having used many MIDI guitar converters since '89, I can say that the FTP tracking is very accurate and velocity dynamics are reasonably wide from soft to loud.
The Triple Play app works in Stand Alone mode in OSX 10.7.5 but not in 10.8.3.
In 10.8.3, you load the Fishman Triple Play plug-into into the I/O of a software instrument track. Open the app and adjust sensitivity, mono vs poly, transposition down or up an octave, etc. Save your set ups as presets which can be scrolled through with the D-Pad control on the converter.
While the GR-55 is an amazing all-in-one solution in a small, light weight package (in relation to the bulk and weight of several actual guitars, basses, amps, fx, etc), it is a poor choice for triggering external sound sources. Whereas I can play "bass" lines on the open E and A strings with my now obsolete Roland GI-20 and RMC piezo equipped guitar without any sense of latency, the GR-55 latency was simply intolerable. Of course one could revert to the old strategy of playing parts an octave higher on the fret board to increase speed and accuracy of tracking. But what about playing "piano" with fretted triads against the open E or A strings???
Think I'm full of hot air? Skim through this: http://www.joness.com/gr300/MIDI_SPEED.htm
I traded my GR-55 towards a JTV-59.
Once set up, you're gonna love the FTP. As I mostly sequence MIDI in Logic, being wireless is incredibly convenient.

Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?

Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?
I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
TIA,

Thanks, Martin.
Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.
Thanks again,

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home. Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached. Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

Has anyone successfully tethered a Nikon D7000 with Aperture 3.1?

Hi,
I have a new Nikon D7000 and tried to tether it to Aperture 3.1. Aperture recognizes it as a D7000, but I can't get an image to display. I'm outputting JPEG right now and can wait until RAW is available, but it would be convenient to tether so I can get immediate feedback on the image while I'm shooting.
Has anyone had success tethering the D7000 with Aperture 3 or is the software not there yet? I'm talking about having the image immediately downloaded to the iMac and automatically displayed after you take each photo, not downloading at the end of the day.
Thanks

UPdate - the key was opening a new project in Aperture 3. Once I did that, Aperture recognized the D7000 and I could shoot from the camera and have it displayed immediately on the iMac.
It works right out of the box. Yea!!!

What problems, if any, has anyone had by changing to iCloud with their iWeb pages?

What problems, if any, has anyone had by changing to iCloud with their iWeb pages?

The iWeb Application will still run after Mobile Me will be turned off; you can export your web pages to a folder on your hard disk and use ftp to upload the pages to another hosting service.
The generated webpages however will refer to icons located on the mobile me server. To make the forward/backward arrows in slide shows work again you will have to patch the iWeb Application. See Old Toad's tutorial on how to do this:
Modify the iWeb Application: http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html
Also there is a nice tutorial on how to transit from Mobile Me to another service; see Roger Wilmut's page here:

I guess if you travel the iPhone is not the device to buy.
And which device to buy for travel? As far as I know other smartphone platforms even don't have an update facility like AppStore. And by the way what are your criteria for the perfect travel phone? I would place being able to use it in other countries (world phone), having easy access to internet and email and ability to remotely sync Contacts and Calendar on top of my list. All of which iPhone is capable like few other phones.
I'm sorry, John, but your statement seems like utter nonsense and is misleading for others. First being able to update apps doesn't cross my mind as a main functionality for travel. Second I was just travelling to SC and easily installed a new app from iPhone and updated an existing one. In your case I believe there's a mishap with AppStore. Probably you have a false update notification. Just compare versions of the apps you have with the versions of the same apps AppStore shows. I bet version are same. That's why it doesn't let you install.
If you want to sync your iPhone Contacts and Calendar (which seems more like a genuine travel requirement) you can do it via MobileMe or Yahoo and few other similar web services.

Since the ios7 update has anyone lost ability to charge phone with external battery back! And is there going to be an update to correct this?

Since the ios7 update has anyone lost ability to charge phone with external battery back! And is there going to be an update to correct this?

Modular747 is a troll with very little real knowledge of the iPhone charging systems (as evidenced by his uninformed comments in other threads).
It could very well be iOS 7 refusing to charge from "non-authorized" accessories. We have done A/B tests with the same accessory (in this case cables) with iOS6 and iOS7 and have seen the cable work with iOS6, then not work (i.e. not charge) with iOS 7. Same device, same cable. Only change was the OS.
Keep the pressure on Apple, folks. It is not OK to make working accessories unusable with a software update.

Has anyone set up a Paypal account that is shared with another non-BC website or eBay shop

I am needing to set up Paypal on a 2nd site for 2 separate clients. Both new sites are on the BC platform using the standard Paypal options in eCommerce thus requiring me to set in the website preferences in Paypal the return url address.
My issue is that one of these clients has another website taking Paypal payments and the other client has an eBay shop paying through Paypal.
I am trying to understand how I can set up the BC sites payment gateway in view of the fact that we need to set the return URL address in the Payal preferences which of course is no good for the other sites sharing this same Paypal account.
Has anyone done anything similar and if so can you tell me how I should go about it preferebly without having to create an additional Paypal account.
BC support could not help out and advised contacting Paypal who were quick to tell me it is all in the email acocunt I use until I expalined we use the API setting a return URL. I am now searching for a practical solution.
Many thanks.

In the paid partner form there was a reference to setting up the PayPal std gateway saying that the PayPal Customer Id must not only be the primary email on your Paypal accunt but it went further to state that this email accunt must be yru admin account email address of your website... This is the first time I have ever heard this. Is this really so.
In reference to my original question... does the email address we enter into PayPal Customer Id have to really be the primary or can you use one of the alternate email addesses becasue advice form PayPpal is just to provide one of the emails set up in Paypal.
UPDATE 4 July:
After spending several hours on the Paypal customer service merry-go-round over 2 days I have been finally advised that becasue BC requires the Paypal preferences to set the return URL back to the BC website we can't share the Paypal account across multiple websites. Obviously paypal have not heard of the concept of profiles where you could set preferences against the 8 individual email accounts you are allowed to set up and use for otehr payment processing.
A word for the wise before you rush in to set up an additional Paypal business account - there are some rules you must follow:
Your Paypal accounts must be in different names (real names not the email address)
You can't use the same bank account or credit card across any 2 Paypal accounts
You can't share email addresses between Paypal accounts
Other than that - it's simple...
The above is the situation with Paypal standard business accounts - If anyone has better information please share

Has anyone tried drawing on the iPad with a stylus?

I have tried the Jukestyle iPad stylus to draw signatures on the iPad. Has anyone else tried an iPad stylus to use for signatures on documents and contracts? Which ones do you prefer?

OK I do not have a Lexus, but I have a 2004 Prius with Nav and Bluetooth and as I understand it the Bluetooth is the same. It took me like 45 seconds to do it. I did not touch a manual. Go to the phone and then the set up. In my car it gives you the default password. Go to the settings-> Network -> Bluetooth on the iPhone type in the password and you are in. Uploading you phone book is another issue but can be done from you Mac or PC with Bluetooth or with a older Bluetooth phone.

Has anyone gotten DLNA to work properly with Windows 7 x64 ?

Has anyone gotten DLNA to work properly on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows Media Player 12? I got it working, sort of. It's not reliable though, and very slow. It drops the connection a lot, and when I go to engage it it connects about half of the time and half of the time it won't see the Media Server. It also times out when trying to scan my (admittedly large) music directory on my PC.
I'm sure that my hardware is ok, I think that DLNA is just a buggy system. But if anyone has it working properly with Windows 7 x64 and WMP 12 can you tell me exactly how you set it up? And if you used another desktop app besides WMP can you tell me what worked for you?
Thanks!

Try setting it up like this. Hope this helps!

TA26012 Has anyone used keyring 808 spy camera with an itouch and rendered with good results in final cut pro ?

I am using spy camera 808 which has the same 1280 by 720 H264 AAC as an itouch for filming.
Problems occour in fincal cut pro 6.06 on export if i export 808 on its own no issue the issue is the itouch messes up the time liine on sound video, example 20 min video 10 mins 808 and 10 mins itouch equals 12 mins.
So has anyone actualy with the power pc g5 and final cut pro 6.06 had a method where it is succseful for a simple export to quicktime ?
Just tried it with itouch in final cut and fcpro says does not match settings so i let fcpro choose audio needed render that was it export of 5 mins came out as 30 seconds.
So question stands has anyone found a suitable way to bring in itouch video and export in final cut with out issues.?
ps i brought the video in with "image capture" and iphoto no change.
email here if you would [email protected]

My plan is as follows:
-Make a full backup copy of System Drive on an external drive
-Boot from OS Install Disc > use Disk Utility to Erase/Write Zeros to drive
-Install Snow Leopard
-Install FCP, etc.
-Delete "Capture" directory from external "Scratch Disk"
-Transfer all remaining files to another external drive
-Reformat "Scratch Disk
-Cross fingers
-Begin transcoding process again---frequently checking files for errors
I'll let you know how it goes. Still open to other thoughts and suggestions...
