MX6_100 V-Gear using the emac 10.3.9

Is this possible? it says I am limited because of having a Mac and that I need 10.4.7... I have no install help when I put it into the computer..help please?

First thing to do, then, is see whether you have an eMac with USB 2.0 ports. This article will help you identify your eMac precisely. It needs to be either the USB 2.0 or the 2005 model; the earlier ones only have USB 1.1 and can't be upgraded to 2.0. If you have one of the required models, upgrade your OS to 10.4.7 (you'll need to buy the upgrade to Tiger, then apply a combo updater, and you might as well go right to 10.4.11). Then try the camera.
If the eMac doesn't have USB 2.0 or you don't want to spend money upgrading its OS, give the camera to a friend who can use it.

Is there a way to use the eMac as an external monitor

I haven't used my Emac for awhile, but my 17" powerbook is now having a serious display problem and I can't even see the log-in screen. I want to use the Emac as an external monitor or at least have sharing between the two machines. They are both using 10.4.11. What do I need to do to connect them?

You need to connect them via ethernet or wirelessly, plus a product such as ScreenRecycler. Conventional video in isn't available on most Macs.

Using an emac as a monitor for a mac mini

Hi,
Sorry if the question was already asked, but a quick search in the forum brought no answer.
I have an emac (OS9) and a mac mini(OSX). I'd like to use the emac as a monitor for the mac mini. Is it possible? How? (Both are G4, although I don't think that's relevant : I don't want to use them at the same time, only to use the Emac as a "screen")
Many thanks.

I happen to know for a fact that you can use the internal screen on an iMac G3 333, and presumably also a 266 and 233. It has a fixed horizontal frequency so it will only display the resolutions that you can choose with it's motherboard installed: 640x480@117Hz, 800x600@95Hz, and 1024x768@75Hz. With DisplayConfigX I was even able to get other resolutions, as long as I stayed within the 60kHz horizontal frequency. If try to set it to any other resolution and refresh rate it will not work, so the best way to test it is to have another screen as your main screen so that you can set the resolutions on the iMac screen from there. I imagine that the screen in the eMac does not have a fixed horizontal frequency, so if you got the pinouts, you could probably get it working. However, I made a custom video cable for a slot loading iMac G3, and I couldn't get it to work.

Using an eMac as a TV/DVD monitor?

I've got what is known today as an eMac, but when I bought it in about 2000 was a Grape iMac.
It's now not reading the HD so won't boot up. It's the second time this has happened so I think the fault's fairly permanent. I'm going to remove the HD for data protection (I've got the instructions) but rather than send it for recycling at the tip I was wondering if I could use the eMac as a monitor for a DVD player/TV monitor as I love the look fo the Grape iMac. Any ideas?
Not sure if this is the right forum, so please bump this if necessary.

G'day,
I gather this is what you have...
http://images.apple.com/pr/images/ref_grape.jpg
Whereas, this is an eMac...
http://15.media.tumblr.com/tumblrkpbzk9jKC11qz7jkdo1500.jpg
The eMac came out in 2002 when the iMac (CRT; like the "grape") was discontinued, and replaced by the iMac (LCD, lampshade design).
So by the sounds of it you've probably got a 1999 Rev C iMac 266MHz...
As to your question... the iMac has no real "video in" options other than if the computer itself is functioning... Even then, you'll need to find a USB(1.0)-tv tuner - after fixing the hard drive issue...
The only other option would be if you know basically how to pull the computer apart, find the video card and know how to "hack" it to let you make your own inputs...

How can I use the appletviewer

I am programming on a solaris network at school and I can't get the appletviewer to work. I am using the emacs editor and the javac compiler from my account. Whenever I try and run the appletviewer I get this error:
nova> appletviewer index.html
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window
server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.initDisplay(Native Method)
at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.<clinit>(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:5
9).....
I asked my lab tech. and she said that I could either:
a) install an X window onto the computer
b) keep opening and closing the browser so that the updated applet is used by the browser each time
c) FTP my .class file to my local computer each time.
I don't know what an x window is and the lab tech said it is expensive. Also using FTP or opening the browser each time I want to test new code is time consuming. Does anyone now how I can handle this problem? Thanks, Kevin

don't quite know your setup in detail but my guess is that the display you are using (X?) is not giving permission to the java program.
if you are using Solaris, then you can do this:
% /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + \ ip_of_the_machine_your_applets_are_running_on
also do not forget to set the $DISPLAY on the machine you are running your applets on to the display you are using.
check your display by:
% who|grep `whoami`|grep -v '\.0'
and the number that comes out is your display number.
set it up on the machine you are runing your applets on like this: (if you use csh)
% setenv DISPLAY my_ip:display_number
and you are all set!
## but maybe you'd figured it out already? :)

Are the eMac and the G4 Mac Mini similar enough to...

use the eMac's tiger upgrade to upgrade my mini to Tiger? I know the other versions of tiger upgrades are specific to the hardware, i.e. powerbook, ibook, imac, ect. But seems to me eMac and the G4 mini are very similar. Possible?
thanks

" Are the eMac and the G4 Mac Mini similar enough to use the eMac's tiger upgrade to upgrade my mini to Tiger? "
No.
"I know the other versions of tiger upgrades are specific to the hardware"
And so are the eMac's upgrade discs.

Time is Really Passing the eMac by...

Sad but true. Even though I have the fastest eMac made, 1.42 ghz G4, I find that simple tasks are now taking much much longer. Web pages constantly pin the CPU at 100% usage. Youtube videos stutter and stumble. After much service, it is becoming too much trouble to use the eMac. If funds allowed, I'd upgrade today. Perhaps in a few months.
I've optimized my system using every suggestion found here. >25% free disc space, 2 gigs ram (that helps a lot!).
Safari 4.0 is a major consumer of resources. Often hitting 100% doing yahoo email! It's a sad fact of life that simple tasks require so much CPU power.

I'm at OS 19.3.9 (historical lack of funds) and wantd to upgrade to 10.4 then to 10.4.11 (this way recommended for some reason) but I find that OS 10.4 seems no longer to exist. Also PS Elements 2 cannot run on 10.5.
I see that you have 2Gb, but there was some doubts expressed - due to over heating - about going to 2GB. So it seems that 10.5 is the way to go.
However I see that you are at 10.4. Why have you not gone to 10.5?
I'm interested because I don't want to upgrade and then find a can of worms.
One of my reasons for upgradeing to .5 is that suddenly Facebook has upgraded their system and I cannot see my or anybody elses videos with 10.3.9 because Flash Player 9 will not run under 10.3.9.
It may seem to be a tr4ivial reason for upgrading but I had intendede to upgrade to .4.11 and call it a day but events have overtaken me. I do a fair bit of video shooting/editing so my late arrival to wanting .4 was because I had to get a 1TB external HD because of my videoing.
A convoluted story I know, and like you, when my eMac goes belly up and reaches for its zimmerframe I too will be forced to dig deep - for which I'm filling my piggy bank now.
So any words of wisdom will be gratefuuly received.
Cheers

How can I use the "gcc compiler and emacs editor" in Solaris 8 for Intel?

I installed Solaris 8 for Intel to my desktop computer.
After the installation, I found I couldn't use the companion software (the software CD included in the Multilinugal Media Kit for Solaris 8) - especially the emacs editor and gcc compilers.
I certainly installed the companion software to my computer. And I can identify that those softwares are
really installed to my system. In order to check out whether I installed them or not, I went to the "System Administrator" and opened the "Solaris Product Registry", in which I identified that all the files in
the companion software were succesfully installed in my computer.
However, when I open terminal or console box and tries to use those
software, the system responds that "there is no emacs or gcc."
Why I cannot use those things?
Did I install the companion software wrong?
I really don't understand why I can't use them.
For your reference, I saw the directories "/usr/bin" and "usr/ccs/bin"
too.
In /usr/bin I typed
#as
and no such command.
In /usr/ccs/bin
#as
and also no such command
was what I had as a response.
If I installed the companion software CD correctly and if they are installed somewhere in my computer,
where I can find them and how I can use those softwares?
Lastly, whenever I try to connect to my ISP via telnet mode, I see this
message.
"Try to connect ...
connected to ***.***.***.*** (IP address of my ISP)
Closed by foreign hosts."
Is there any one who knows why this happens?
Thanks for reading my question.

gcc and emacs install in /opt/sfw. You should change your path statement to include /opt/sfw/bin and should obtain the FAQ from sunfreeware.com. The FAQ answers all your questions.
I have installed gcc and gtk and am using both at this time.

I have an apple emac powerpc G4 which is running 10.3.9 software. I downloaded the 10.5 leopard software. Does anyone know how to install the 10.5 without using the dvd installer? In dummy terms please?

If any one could help me with this. i'd be enternally grateful as i'm getting nowhere on my own!

The only way to get 10.5 is to purchase it on CD. Such as http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-10-5-10-51/dp/B0012RAVRC where is being sold for $179.99.
If your optical drive is broken, you will either need to replace it or get an external. There is no other way.
Why do wish to upgrade? As you can see it is going to be expensive, probably more the Mac is worth.

OS X: Changing or resetting an account password

I'm using an eMac power cord on an iMac G5 and the screen is a blue tinted color. No true colors are displayed.

I just realized I was using an eMac powercord on my G5 iMac.
Make a difference at all? Does it screw up my computer?
I have a weird screen problem anything to do with this?

I can't see how that would make a difference. But use the proper power cord for the iMac, if you have it.
To see if this is software or settings related, if you have a way to boot from a different system, such as a Mac OS X installation disk, start up from that other system and see if you still have the "blue tinted color."
If the problem recurs, you should do these two procedures to Reset PRAM and Reset SMU, to see if there is any improvement
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1767
When you do the Reset SMU procedure, if you have been connecting the power cord to an old or over-crowded power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it to a wall outlet by itself, to see if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, there may be a hardware-related problem.

The eMac: The good days of an eMac

In this discussion. I would like eMac owners to post what they thought about the eMac when it was in its prime time. Is it a good system to buy now? Or do you consider it old?

Hello All,
I would like to start off with the specs of my one and only eMac.
900MHz (Overclocked 700MHz) PowerPC G4 Processor
1GB PC-133 SDRAM
100GB 7200 RPM ATA HD
Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard
Samsung Write Master DVD+-RW +-R DL with Light-Scribe
Original AirPort Card
Bluetooth (IO Gear USB Micro Adaptor)
New Wireless Aluminum Keyboard, Magic Mouse.
Pros:
First of all, Im typing this on my eMac as we speak. This is a VERY robust machine. Even with 10.5.8 Leopard it is amazingly stable. I have never ever had any serious problems with it, still use it today on a daily basis, I love it, and will make it into my Jukebox (It also had a kick@ss sound system for a stock one). It has always been a very stable computer, never let me down (except for the Raster Shift) but Apple Repaired mine for FREE so it was all good. I have overclocked it, and never had any problems with it 3 years later! I have iLife '08 and iWork '08 (I got the 10.5.6 Mac Box Set) and I love this Mac to this day. It runs all apps well on Leopard (Requires a 867MHz G4 or faster and mine is an overclocked 700MHz now 900MHz mind you) even though it MERELY meets the requirements (yeah go try that on a PC with a single core 1GHz CPU and 1GB PC-133 SDRAM with Vista and compare the results lol) It still boots up within 1 minute so Im not in need for a new computer yet...
Cons:
There are very few of them. First con: Loud Fan. (Cant stand it sometimes.) Second: Raster Shift (Apple Repaired mine free of charge so it was absolutely no big deal, took them only 15 minutes.) Third: Its hard to upgrade do to the internal setup. (Guys, please do NOT blame Apple for the "Bad Caps" problem. Do your research. Apple had NO IDEA these capacitors were defective. try these sites for more info. http://www.badcaps.net/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague )
In summary, I would definitely buy another Apple product because this machine is a perfect representation of an Apple product. This machine is still a very good trainer for someone who is new to the Mac. I will continue to use it until it dies completely and it is impossible to repair (or its uneconomical). And when it does, Im going to put it in a display case as it was my very first Mac, and because of its legendary robust nature and low failure rate.

I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down eliminate

I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down menu with the gear box symbol to eliminate

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

How do I use the analog input (ADC) to drive a motion profile in MAX

We are trying to use an anolog input signal from a DAQ card to control the motion contol axis. For now, we want the motor speed to follow a sinusoidal voltage waveform, and later on, we will be using a more complex velocity profile.
In order to accomplish this task, we have searched the user forum, and found information suggesting to operate the servo motor in 'slave' mode under the 'gearing' option. Therefore, we have set the Gear Master to 'ADC Channel-1', Mode set to 'absolute', Gear ratio 1:1, and provided the sinusoidal voltage (+/- 5V, 3 Hz) to the AIN1 connector on the MID-7654 controller. When using the 1-D Interacitve 'single axis' control panel, the motor runs at constant speed in one direction only. It does not react to the sinusoidal speed profile request as we expected.
How do we 'turn on' the 'slave' mode in MAX? Please talk us through the necessary steps and settings? Thanks.
Staffan

Staffan,
you can configure and enablethe Gearing mode in MAX and it should be activated after saving the settings and initializing the board. In 1D-Interactive you can't use Gearing. For better flexibility I recommend not using MAX for configuring and enbling Gearing. You better should do this in your application.
In fact there is a perfect LabVIEW-example that ships with the NI-Motion driver (Master Analog Input - Slave Axis Gearing.vi)
I hope this helps,

Using the Insert statement in a Java program without hardcoding the data

hello.
this is james mcfadden. i have developed a program called Demo.java, which is used with another program called QueryTableModel.java (a program that allows data to be viewed in a JTable). The Demo.java program displays a menu, connects to a database, allows the user to add data into the database and allows the user to view data that is already in the database. I have a problem with the Demo.java program. I have hardcoded the Insert statement in it. How do you use the Insert statement to put data into a database without hardcoding the data?
