Pismo Freezes with Netgear WG511T + Orangeware driver - Please Help

Hello,
For months I have been using Orangeware wireless driver on my Pismo G3/400 OSX 10.4 in combination with Netgear WG511T card with no problems at all.
Suddenly one day a black square appeared on the grey background when booting my Pismo. I red that is something to do with Kernel Panic but I don’t know much about that.
So it took several rebooting until Pismo appeared to be OK. But then a few times the screen just went black. That eventually stopped but instead Pismo would just freeze.
I then discovered that if I take my Netgear card out my Pismo, it unfreezes and start to work normally. If I then try to insert the card again while the computer is on the card wouldn’t connect with my router but only one LED would flash.
I eventually reinstalled OS but to no avail. I am so puzzled.
I would be ever so grateful if somebody could make a logical sense of all these symptoms.
Many thanks again

Alex,
Sorry to hear of your contuing problems...
The PC card icon in the menu bar is reporting as expected; see the bottom of this page:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Buffalo/BUF80211B/
Have you tried a Safe Boot (restart pressing the shift key), then inserting the card?
Have you uninstalled the Orangeware software?
Have you run Software Update to get the latest AirPort software? It is now up to version 4.2. My suggestion is after Software Update has checked what you need, go to the menu bar > Update > Download Only. You can then restart the computer with shift key down (Safe Boot/Safe Mode) and then run the installers.
I have no idea if any of this will work, but give it a try.
If you have access to a FireWire PC card, pop it in and see if the Pismo freezes; this card is natively supported by OSX. If you wish to test the FireWire card, you will need a FireWire HD that has its own power supply since PC cards supply little bus power.

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao.

Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders . How to disable this? Does my PC folders are also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks

Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders as well with a browsing option . How to disable this? Does my PC folders will also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi indi68632954,
I can understand your concern & you need to worry about this, as your PC folders won't be available on other PC's as this option is just to browse through the files of the specific system on which you are working as shown in the screenshot below.
Only the files uploaded on the Document cloud will be available over Internet using Adobe Document Cloud service upon the authentication of your Adobe ID & password.
I hope this will answer your query.
In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,
Aadesh

err = 3150 - this issue has started recently and continues to persist with all of my downloads - please help

Is it error 3150 or -3150 ? If -3150 then have you tried the troubleshooting for that error number on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 ?
"Error -3150"
This alert is often related to a lost connection to the iTunes Store.
If you encounter this alert and you have verified you have a connection to the Internet using Wi-Fi, please review AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference.
If the issue persists, and you're using iTunes for Windows, you may need to flush your DNS and remove pop-up or ad-blockers.
Finally, this can occur due to timeouts caused by security software.

Hi achyuth,
Thank you for posting on the National Instruments forum.
I am not sure what you are trying to do. Are you trying to input and output at the
same time? Are you just trying to
synchronize all of your inputs? Do you
want them to run off the same clock? If
you could, give me some more information so I can understand your problem
better.
In the meantime, this might help you:

I can't see the animations on the website or access most of the options when I log in.Works perfect with Internet explorer though! Please help

I can't see the animations on this page (looks like a very small image) and when I log in can't access/see some of the options in the website . The page however works perfect with Internet explorer though! Please help identify the kind of plugin/add-on needed to make it work.

If you're using it in bright light, you may be getting sunlight through the back of the machine which can wash out the display. The Apple logo on the back of the lid is actually a cut-out that uses the systems back light to make it glow. Bright light (especially sunlight) can actually shine through the back. As the users in the login are typically in the middle of the display, this is the area most likely to be washed out as that is where the Apple logo is. You can try just putting your hand over the Apple logo on the back to block the sunlight when trying to log in.

'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles
