Help with iBook G3 12" Logicboard problem

Hello.
I have a strange problem with an iBook G3 12" 600 MHz, maybe you can help me.
this is the story
A friend gave me what he called a "dead ibook"
The first thing I noticed is that when I connect the AC adapter, the plug light (orange) turns on for 1/2 second, I can hear a click and then the light turns off.
at this point if I try to reconnect the plug, the AC adapter does not send power anymore and I have to unplug the AC adapter from wall main plug.
I have tested with another AC adapter from an iBook G4...same result
I have removed the battery and tried re-connecting the G3 only with the AC adapter ... same result.
I have disconnected the AC adapter and tried using a fully charged battery from the G4 in to the G3, and... Surprise!! the iBook G3 boots perfectly!! and the Mac os x works perfectly.
At this point I thought that maybe was a faulty DC-in board. I bought a new one. After disassembling the iBook and put the new DC-in board the iBook has the same symptoms...
Conclusion: Imposible to use a AC adapter, the iBook only can work with battery.
There must be something in the logic board that is shorting something, but I can´t find it.
Can you give me some ideas?? I´m lost
thank you

It could be a logic board problem or it could be that you got another defective DC-in board. It would not be the first time that a second defective DC-in board has been reported here.
If it is the logic board, chances are the only remedy is a logic board replacement. When my husband's DC-in board was bad, we just swapped batteries until he got it fixed. Since these iBooks are getting quite old, you may want to just do the battery-swap with the iBook G4 instead of repairing the iBook G3. It gets to a point where the expense of a repair just isn't worth it on a computer this old.
Good luck.

    I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
    On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about.  I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
    The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
    Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
    1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
    2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
         I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
    Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
    BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
    From my experimentation, here's my observation:
    1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
    2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
    The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.

  • Help with iBook files with media

    *I'm at work at the moment*
    I bought 2 kits of the Corsair value ram (see sig for part number), 512 mg sticks, total 4 sticks. When you say just put 2 matching ones in, I think I did that. I tried 2 sticks at a time, switching them out so I'm pretty sure I tried all combinations of them and the pc wouldn't boot using 800fsb and 667 ram speed. It will boot and run ok at 667 FSB and 400 ram speed, because I've been using it like that since about the 2nd week of Nov. Will try again to just boot using 2 mem modules at full FSB/Mem speed but I know I've tried that before and the pc would lock. Not for sure what you meant by 'matching' as all 4 are the same brand/model etc.
    As for the EIT? or whatever it was, I don't recall clicking that anywhere , is that a BIOS option? I'll check when I get home but I'm not recalling choosing that option. Google showed that to be some some of processor power saving option or something.
    As for linking where I bought them at, I got them from Newegg. Newegg doesn't have the MB anymore, they have a refurbished unit but here's the link to the MSI page
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=663 , here's a link to the refurb one on Newegg
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130501R
    The ram is http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/valueselect.html#ddr2dimm the 2nd one under pc2-5300, the VS1GBKIT667D2. I bought 2 of those kits. Newegg link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145568
    What I've read on the support pages, MSI supports that ram and the ram shows that MB as being supported.
    Appreciate the replys.

  • Help with iBook and iCloud

    Hi!
    I saved a PDF file to iCloud. Can I read this file in iBooks on my iPhone? I can't see it.
    Or I have to use iTunes to move my PDF to iBooks only?

    I don't think so. I was in error when i said " use iCloud to sync it to your iphone or ipad". I checked my PDF files on my iPad vs iPhone and even though I have the settings for iBook to sync collections, I found the books sync but not the PDF files. To test it I made a quick PDF file from a Pages document on my iPad and emailed it to myself. I opened the attachement on my iPad to iBooks PDF. Then I waited a few minutes and checked my PDF files on my iPhone. The newly created PDF was not there. I would have believed all files associated with iBooks would be synced since when I look at the categories of the syncing under the Settings app for iBooks it says "Sync Bookmarks, Sync Collections, Show All Purchases".
    Then I made a Collection and added PDF files to it. This again was done on my iPad. I then checked my iPhone and the Collection file name I had created was there but no files were showing. So then I added a book to the same collection on my iPhone and checked that same collection on my iPad. Same result. Title of the collection shows but no book shows.
    I don't have any problems of book purchase syncing to my iPad or iPhone but the Collection function does not cross devices. While this is somewhat frustrating it doesn't stop you from manually adding PDF files to your devices and reading them when you choose.

  • Help with ibook G4, Freezing and wont turn on :-(

    Can anyone help a fellow MacLady?
    I have an ibook G4, her her a year with no problems,
    2 days ago cursor froze, and I turned off and restarted and am left with a blank screen.
    Every now and then it starts up, all my documents are there, connects to to wireless ok, and last for anything from 5mins to 1hr. Then freezes again.
    Took it to a local PC man who looked and said he doenst really know apples but guessed it was Hard Drive.
    Have no lost NO information from the PC, its all backed up now thankfully as I do occassionaly get access to it, though all my 876 entourage emails have strangely dissapeard. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    Have an appointment with a "Genius" in Bluewater on Wednesday (earliest they can see me), but just wondered if anyone knew what the problem might be and how much I am maybe looking at for a repair? As the PC man told me to buy a new one as this will cost hundreds.
    I work from home so not been able to print or do hardly anything so am running out of time
    Thanks for any help, the PC is here next to me (am on my old Win one, blergh) so if anyone can help or give advice I would really appreciate it,
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi LadyMacB and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First of all see if you can start up inSafe Mode.
    Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup.
    What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode.
    If you are able to start up in Safe Mode and reboot into normal mode this may, in itself, be enough. If not restart in Safe Mode, if you are able, & put your OS X install disk in and restart holding the C key until you see the spinning gear wheel. When you get to the Language screen select your language and select 'Next'.
    At the top of the screen towards the left in the menu bar select Utilities>Disk Utility. Select the Drive name at the very top, then look at the report at the bottom of the window. Amongst everything else you will, hopefully, see S.M.A.R.T. status 'Verified'.
    If it says 'Failing' then your PC bloke is spot on. Be grateful that you were able to get everything backed up. Otherwise proceed…
    Select your OS volume 2nd down in the left hand box, then click the 'Repair Disk' button. Leave Disk Repair to run, If it reports that repairs were made select 'Repair Disk' again until you get the message that the Volume appears to be OK. If DU reports at any time that it could not repair then third party utilities may be necessary or, irrespective of the S.M.A.R.T. status report, your HD may be shot. Try the above for starters and report back.
    Best of luck,
    Adrian

  • Need Some Brain Storming Help WIth a Long Distance Mail Problem

    I would really appreciate anyones input on this...
    Here's the situation. I'm trying to solve a mail problem for my somewhat elderly Mother. The biggest problem is that she is 3800 miles away from me and nowhere near any sort of help or tech support (Rural Alaska) so I'm trying to sort this out over the phone.
    Anyway, she somehow screwed up her mail. All of a sudden the mail she sends comes from MY account! It shows up in my mailbox as having been sent by me. She is using an iBook G4 that I gave her a year or so ago and I suppose it's possible that somehow my mail account was on there somewhere (?). It's like she accidentally switched users or something.
    I have sent her Email to her normal .Mac email address and it does indeed show up in her mailbox when I check the web mail. She is running Tiger and I'm running Leopard.
    I just can't for the life of me figure out what she would have done and I'm hoping that someone might have an idea. She says that the font sizes all changed as well which leads me to believe that she is indeed using my old settings and mail account.
    Once again, any help really appreciated. I'm heading out of town for a week and she really depends on her email. I'm trying desperately to get this solved before I leave. Thanks!

    It looks like Mail has reset its preferences, including the account settings. What follows is a more thorough explanation that should allow you to determine whether that’s really what happened and what your options would be in that case. I’ll provide the full instructions I usually provide to solve this problem when having direct access to the computer, even though you may find some of them not practical or unnecessary.
    Under some circumstances (e.g. lack of available disk space, filesystem corruption, repeated crashes), Mail may discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one. This file is where all the account settings are stored. As a result, all the non-.Mac account settings are lost. If you have a .Mac account, however, that account would appear to have been preserved because Mail would set it up automatically using the System Preferences > .Mac settings — but may result in a different .Mac account being automatically set up if for some reason the System Preferences > .Mac settings differ from what until then were the Mail account settings...
    What’s the capacity and space available on the startup disk? Take a look at the comments about disk space in the following article, in case they apply to this case:
    Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what’s it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), quit Mail if it’s running, and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder (e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down), just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. This folder is where all your mail is stored.
    There are at least three ways to restore the account settings:
    (1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
    (2) Set up your mail accounts again (you may want to quit Mail and trash the new com.apple.mail.plist first to start over). If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure some of the Mail > Preferences settings. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    (3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try trashing the new com.apple.mail.plist and renaming the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Given the circumstances, there exists the possibility that com.apple.mail.plist.saved became corrupt, but that often is not the case and the settings can usually be restored by just renaming the file back to com.apple.mail.plist.
    As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • I need help with an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2

    I’m having an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2     Model:  MC774C/A;  IOS VERSION: 6.1.3 (10B329). 
    While I use 4 email accounts on the iPad -- Hotmail, Gmail, iCloud and ns.sympatico.ca ( a division of BellAliant) – the sending difficulty only relates to the ns.sympatico.ca.  The settings for this account are:         pop.bellaliant.net            and      smtp.bellaliant.net
    I first noticed the problem about 3 weeks ago while travelling across the country (Canada).  (I do recall about that time there was an update of my IOS and I also for my wife purchased from the Bell store an iPhone which shares my Apple account.)  Prior to that everything worked well for a couple of years.
    I noticed earlier this month that the iPad received mail fine but would not send at night using the motels’ WiFi.  During the day, using my 3G account, all worked fine.  I phoned Bell but was told that my experience was normal so I thought no more about it until I returned home and found the same problem at the house.  I called Bell again and worked for 2 hours with 3 Bell technicians who succeeded in getting the iPad to neither send nor receive and gave up advising me to take the iPad into a Bell store to have it looked at.  I did that and the young technician got the iPad sending and receiving by changing the        smtp.bellaliant.net      to         mail.1xbell.ca
    However, when I returned home again, I realized that it was working on my 3G and still doesn’t send on my WiFi
    I’m looking for any suggestions that might solve this annoying problem?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Need help with Rollover Image cross browser problem

    Hello,
    I am having a cross browser problem with my websites rollover nav links.  The trouble is, while they work perfectly fine in IE8 and IE9, I’ve also attempted to use them through Opera, and they simply don’t work.  They don’t link nor do they do their rollover effect.  And I was trying to figure out what I have done wrong.  Currently the site is not completed, but the first two pages are, the “news” and “about me” pages are currently (as of right now) working.  The address to the site is below.
    http://maxmetal.xsustudios.com/index.html
    I hope that someone can help me with this, if needs be I can put the code for the CSS and HTML into this part if it will save some time for everyone.  Sorry too about the PNG images, I have to change those over to semi-transparent GIF’s yet so the site does take a while to load…
    Hope someone can help me with this!

    When I disable CSS in my browser, the rollover buttons work just fine.  This tells me your CSS is messed up and you've layered something over your menus which is making them inaccessible to users.
    I noticed you've applied relative positioning to just about everything on your page.  Why?   Default CSS positioning (unspecified or static) is all you need for 98% of layouts.

  • Can somebody please help with Javascript. 2 small problems.

    Hi. I have created a dynamic PDF form with fields. I have 2 problems that i am sure someone can help me with. (I can email anyone this PDF upon request).
    PROBLEM 1. In this form I have a table (actually i think its a sub form) which has 3 buttons associated with it ('Add Row', 'Delete Row' and (Clear Row'). One button adds a new row. It works but it effectively duplicates the row (and all text fields/cells contained in the row) and places this new row at the bottom of any existing rows. What i require is for this button (the button gets duplicated along with the row) to place the new row immediately below the row from where it is clicked. ie, imagine you open the document, fill out the row (at this stage there is only one) and hit the 'Add Row' button. You now have 2 Rows (great), so you fill out the second Row. Now here is my problem, if you hit the 'Add Row' button on the first Row, a new 3rd Row is added to the bottom and not in between Row 1 and Row 2.
    Effectively if you have dozens of Rows filled out and you need to insert a Row for an amendment, currently it cannot be done without deleting all Rows up to the point where you want to make the addition/insertion.
    PROBLEM 2. Within this Row of text/numeric fields are two fields (called 'Rate' and 'Loading') where dollar amounts are entered. As the form is filled out (the Rows can be dynamically generated and it's fields manually filled out by the user) there can potentially be dozens of Rows in a completed form and, as each Row has many text/numeric fields, one can imagine Columns forming once there is more than 1 Row. At the end of the form, totals are automatically calculated. I have created a button to reset (erase) all amounts entered into these two specific fields (Columns) but in every Row. Unfortunately there is something wrong with my script syntax as this button does not do this. ( i want this facility as when the form, which is a budget proposal, is completed i need to send two copies - one to accountants with figures and logistics and a second copy to another department whom i do not want to give the figures, so i need the button to erase figures without having to clear each cell individually).
    Any help that someone can give would be much appreciated.
    Please email me at
    [email protected] if you would like me to send you the file.
    Cheers
    Bradd

    Send the form to

  • Can anyone help with an invalid sibling link problem?

    Following the computer not getting through to admin sign up today, I ran Disk Utility from the start up disk. It revealed an invalid sibling link that couldn't be repaired. I've trawled the web for a solution, which had me sign in with single user mode (currently logged in as such).
    In this mode, I did the following:
    Typed umount /dev/disk0s3, which seemed to have the HD mounted on it.
    Typed fsck_hfs -r /dev/disk0s3
    It says: The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired.
    Q: how do I remount the volume and then safely shut down to get a techie on this? I'm not sure I'm confident enough to fix the problem or attempt to retrieve files with Firewire. The problem computer is a Powerbook G4, the potential target to use as an external hard drive is an imac 7.1.
    I'm not sure if the volume is mounted. If I type 'ds' it lists /dev/disk0s3 as mounted on /
    Whereas devfs is on /dev, fdesc is on /dev and <volfs> is on /.vol. I don't really understand this - a bit out of my depth. I wondered if mount /dev/disk0s3 would remount it?
    Any help appreciated.

    When confronted with an issue that Disk Utility can't fix, most people get Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro may be able to help too. Or you could try wiping the disk clean, writing zero's to the surface, and restore from backup.
    Here's the mount format for 10.5. If you have 10.4 or earlier, you can choose it at the top of the page:  http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/ 10.5/man8/mount.8.html

  • Can someone help with my itunes song skipping problem?

    I just got a new laptop and transfered all the songs successfully, downloaded the newest itunes and bought more songs from the itunes store and two days later, my songs started skipping. They aren't skipping as bad as i've read on the messages boards of other people, maybe one small skip in various songs.
    But...
    Once I plug in my ipod to the usb port, will the skipping songs transfer onto my ipod and start making them skip as well? I checked my ipod and all the songs are ok, but I haven't attached my ipod since the songs started skipping.
    Oh yeah...I've set Quicktime to safemode, I've read on these boards about switching to safemode...but nothing changed.
    What do you guys think?

    Unless the problem is with the songs themselves, moving the songs to your iPod will not make them skip there. Before you sync the files in question you should play them with another medium (ie. "Windows Media Player"). This will help you pinpoint where the problem is.

  • Need Immediate Help with iBook 2nd Gen

    Hi, I have what I think is a 2nd Gen iBook. It is Graphite. It has a firewire port, but it is shaped like a clamshell. I bought it in 2000 and it was updated in 2001, with increased memory. I really enjoy playing an online video game called RuneScape. I tried to log on earlier, to no avail. It brought up the homepage, except the fullpage didn't load. I would really like to be able to relax and enjoy playing the game, but knowing next to nothing about Mac computer programs. Any help would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks. -Grant

    Hi Grant -
    You can try updating your system to 9.2.2 by downloading these updates (starting with 9.1) in sequential order...

    This will upgrade your Java programing and may allow you to run that game in your browser.
    As for browsers, after you get OS 9 updated I suggest downloading this Mozilla version ...there's a good chance it will run better than the Internet Explorer you have. Clicking this link will start the download...
