Powerbook 14" to 12" inter changeability??

Hello,
I am curious to know more about the possibilities of exchanging parts from an 14" Powerbook to a 12" one, such as the...
1. Superdisk drive
2. HDD
3. Logic board / motherboard
Thank you

Hi, stuckless. The only 14" Powerbooks are G3s, and there's nothing in any Powerbook G3 that you'd want to put into a G4.
If you actually have a 15" Titanium G4, its hard drive and perhaps its optical drive (depending on which model the Tibook is) are usable in a 12" Aluminum G4. If the Tibook is a 400 or 500MHz model, its optical drive won't fit in any other G4 model. Any other Tibook's optical drive will fit your 12", but some may not have the capabilities your 12" Albook's original drive did. No 15" machine's logic board can be used in any 12" PB; in fact, swapping logic boards even among different models with the same size display is often unsuccessful.

  • Are Adobe licenses inter-changeable between windows and mac?

    I have bought initially a Creative Suite for windows and now I'm considering changing to mac.
    In the software license certificate I have a windows serial number and a mac serial number. Legally, can I use the same license, although with different serial numbers on a mac or windows computer? (Regarding the uninstallation of the windows version)

  • Inter-changeability of components

    I want to use two different components which are completely identical and I want to mention only one component in my BOM, but automatically when this is not available it should check the availability of alternate and only then generate procurement proposals during my MRP run...after some research i found out that i could use a FFF class for this kind of scenario... can anyone explain how this works and  how to go about acheiving this.

    Hello Mangalraj,
    I went through the thread and had a good insight into alternate materials...
    I was hoping if you could detail me on this....
    I have mat MAT1 and Mat2 they could be used irrespective of each other in SEMI1...
    I need 100kg of MAT1 or MAT2 for SEMI1
    If i have 100kg of MAT1 in stock then while running MRP for SEMI1 it should use up all the 100KG of MAT1 and nothing of MAT2.
    if i only have 80kg of MAT1 then while running the mrp for SEMI1 it should use 80kg of MAT1 and 20kg of MAT2....
    what i mean to say that the usage of altenate material should be dependent on material availability during the planning run...any ideas??
    thanks

  • Justifying Mac vs PC for business

    I have an iMac at home but my employer is strictly PC-based. I'm the manager of communications and marketing, and we use a creative agency to develop our materials. I'm due for a laptop upgrade and some in our IT group support my desire to switch to a MBP, but the management isn't as ready to make a switch. Since so many apps and files are now transparent between Macs and PCs, I can't really make the argument that having a PC limits my ability to open and work with files that come through from the agency, photographers, etc.
    Clearly, I recognize that the photo manipulation that I do myself would be far simpler on a MBP. What other sound business reasons can you suggest? I would certainly like to end up with a MBP, but if there aren't really any more compelling business reasons, then I can't very well argue for one. Thoughts?

    Most CFOs say productivity cannot be measured and therfore is not a justification standard.
    Laptop Macs are competitive with PC laptops on price. The MacBook Core2Duo starts at $1,100. Geesh! Come on you can do better than that!
    I had a recent discussion with our CIO. He pointed out that he cannot support two different computer baselines. I responded by saying to him he doesn't support the laptops anyway. I asked my CIO to describe specifically the support he provides. He couldn't. As an example, if a PC breaks they call Dell. If my MBP breaks, Apple fixes it. If I have a problem and I can't part with the computer I walk into the Apple store and ask them to look at it. Although I will add that hasn't happened in about 4 years. The support our CIO does provide is infrastructure related (i.e. the network, servers etc..) anything else is outsourced.
    I've observed that the problems most CIOs have experienced with PCs and Windows have predisposed CIOs to mitigate their risks, read fears, by not allowing Macs into the business place. Definitely misplaced fears and risk mitigation practice.
    Most applications are web based. therefore there is no proprietary software to run natively on my PC or my MBP. As an example, I can use salesforce.com or Webex interchangeably on my PC and my MBP. Other applications like Oracle are supported on the Mac. Our Juniper VPN is also supported on both platforms. Office 2004 and 2008 for the Mac is interchangeable with Office 2007 for Windows (with minor exceptions). All files are inter-changeable, however. Our software engineers use PPC Macs and Intel Macs for software development. I can even access our PC/Windows U: drive or Sharepoint servers to access files; either over our intranet or over the Internet via VPN. Geesh!
    We also use iChat video to bring people into meetings without the need for our unreliable Polycom equipment. I travel alot, and its really nice to video chat to boys at school or talk to my wife while I am in Germany, Hong Kong, Boston, or Denver.
    I guess the point I am making is that there is no reason not to bring Macs into the office. Rather than trying to justify using Macs, I think there should be a justification for staying with PCs and Windows in light of the Virus risks. I can't see any reason.
    I think IT departments should focus on the real issues, like improvements in network security, fighting SPAM, network bandwidth, and storage. I am certain that no one is happy with their wireless bandwidths in their respective offices.
    I think the support argument is specious and has gone the way of the dodo!
    BTW, I got my MBP after this discussion.

  • Avahi and howl

    I came across an interesting conflict today -- if I install gobby and later install gnome I cannot install howl... but... howl WAS installed when I installed gobby, as gobby requires obby and obby requires howl. However when I installed gnome, it seems howl was replaced with avahi, which conflicts with howl, and thus I couldn't install howl again -- gobby complained howl was needed for a collaborative editing session!
    So, I decided I didn't need gnome anyhow (I'll stick to blackbox) so I uninstalled gnome (pacman -Rcn gnome), then uninstalled gobby and re-installed it, and viola! howl is back!
    Is this kind of caper common with Arch? I must admit it's much more fun than the usual "dependency hell" of RPMs or DEBs -- mostly because I was able to actually get everything working again with some un/re-installing of packages!

    Yep you're right, avahi and howl are interchangeable.
    I uninstalled gobby and howl, and then installed avahi followed by gobby just to check the inter-changeable-ness of avahi and howl, and when I ran gobby the warnings in the console did indeed mention avahi and a howl compatibility layer.
    When reverting back to my original howl/gobby setup, uninstalling avahi didn't work with pacman -Rs avahi. I had to use pacman -Rc avahi instead, because nss-mdns depended ON avahi, however nss-mdns was istalled as a dependency OF avahi. Is this a kind of co-dependency?
    I'm new to Arch and I've found that these kinds of "inter-dependency puzzles" are handled really well by pacman -- it's awesome

  • Charging cable identification problem

    Hi,
    I found the iPad charging very slowly lately.  It seemed that the kids have been messing around with all the chargers and cables we have around (7 in total).
    Now I found out that the iPad needs its own charger and cable due to power consumption.
    Now I found the charger by looking at the output (10W), but how to find/identify the right (original iPad) cable to get the iPad to charge high power as normal.
    At least I guess it also needs its own original cable?
    There is no way I can tell which cable is which?
    I assume at least that the cable when plugged into the iPad identifies it self as being for iPad and high power consumption.
    The iPad itself displays nothing, only if it wil or will not be charged, but not if it runs on low charge or high power charge.
    Any help, ideas how to solve this and find the right cable?
    Thanks in advance Hans.

    The cables are the same and should be inter-changeable (unless you have any old firewire cables) - I use an old iPod cable to charge or sync my iPad, iPhone and iPod. It is only the charger itself that matters.
    You can safely use the iPad charger with iPods and iPhones : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327

  • HP Envy TouchSmart M6 Sleekbook Recovery

    Hi I have a HP Envy TouchSmart M6 Sleekbook and it came with a recovery disc but the problem is my sleekbook does not have CD Rom to put in. How can I still do a complete system recovery and bypass the question of putting in a CD when I don't have a CD Rom to place it in?
    Thanks

    scb_co
    You can utilize the recovery CD with the use of an external CD ROM. Although, not every device requires an external CD ROM the requirements to make devices portable force us to begin using such devices. The nice thing about an external CD ROM is that it is inter-changeable between multiple devices. I would recommend that if you are going to be using portable technology that you purchase one.
    There is also the option of creating an USB Flash Drive recovery image. I am providing you a link to an HP support document called 'HP PCs - Creating Recovery Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive (Windows 8)' which will explain how to create it.

  • WAAS HHD query

    Hi Cisco, 
    i wanted to know if hard drives are same for below WAAS models and are inter-changeable between them.
    WAE-612-K9  --> WAVE-694-K9
    WAE-7371-K9 --> WAVE-8541-K9
    Note : I need a Cisco TAC engineer specialized in WAAS helping me answering the query. 

    WCCP not supported on tunnel interfaces for 6500 & 7600 interfaces. Other than that okay.
    see below.
    Cisco WAAS supports asymmetric routing through the use of sharing network interception and redirection configuration across WAN boundary routers within a location. If all routers that connect a location to the WAN are participating in the same WCCPv2 service groups or have the same list of WAEs configured as next-hop routers (in the same order), the same WAE will receive redirected traffic regardless of the WAN link that traffic was destined to or coming in from.
    For instance, if a customer has two WAN connections - one going to provider #1 and another going to provider #2, WCCPv2 can be configured such that the routers participate in the same WCCPv2 service groups, and the WAEs can be configured to register with both of the routers. This also requires that the WCCPv2 redirection configuration be applied identically across each of the routers within the same location, i.e. use of 61/in on the LAN side on both routers and 62/out on the LAN side on both routers (or any valid combination of 61/62 in/out as long as they are identical amongst all routers within the location).
    As traffic enters a WAN boundary router, it will determine which WAE to redirect the traffic to based on a hash of either the source IP (service group 61 in the network path) or destination IP (service group 62 in the network path). The allocated hash buckets are synchronized within the service group, and the hash value obtained at either router will be the same as it would be had the traffic been forwarded through the opposite router. In this way, traffic is always redirected to the same WAE every time, regardless of which WAN link is used, or which router the traffic was forwarded to or through. As such, Cisco WAAS provides support for environments where asymmetric routing may be encountered.

  • Wrong 'mini dvi to video' adapter for my 12" Powerbook 1.33

    I recently bought the M9319 mini dvi - video adapter for my 12" Powerbook 1.33 to find that the mini dvi on the adapter is a different size to the one on the computer and the adapters supplied with the computer.
    I've been doing a bit of research into this and it seems a bit of a grey area. Apple have not made it clear in advertising this product that it is only suitable for the newest 12" Powerbooks and even state that it will work with a 1.33 machine in their following article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86507
    Has anyone had a similar experience, or suggest an alternative product that will work? Did Apple make an older version that works with the 1.33?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Graeme.

    Just took the adapter to my local Apple store and they identified it as a mini VGA to video adapter - not what it said on the packaging!
    I've noticed a few posts with this problem, so just double check before you leave the store that the packaging matches the product.

  • Airport Card no longer recognized by PowerBook

    I always take my PowerBook G4 to class with me for the purpose of taking notes during class. I was connected to the internet there, over the wireless network (on campus) with no problem.
    When I got back home, my PowerBook wasn't seeing the wireless network (at home, seperate from the wireless network on campus), but I knew it was working because my iMac is connected to it just fine, along with two other computers in my house. I tried restarting a couple of times, and actually typing the name of the network into the Airport drop-down menu. This all did nothing, as did repairing the disk permissions.
    I find it very unlikely that the card is not seated correctly, because first of all, when I brought the PowerBook back from campus (when it was working properly) it was tranported in my TUMI bag, which has a dedicated padded holder for PowerBooks, and then immediately took it out and sat it on my desk next to my iMac only to find the PowerBook no longer seeing the wireless signal.
    And at this point, I could still turn Airport on and off, and I restarted the computer a couple of times to see if it would pick up the signal, all the while Airport was still recognized by the system (I could still turn it off and on from the drop-down menu, but no wireless networks were present).
    So, I popped in my OS X DVD to boot from it to use the Repair Disk feature. It came up with an error that said something to the tune of "incorrect number of threads." It repaired the disk without any probems, or so I thought (and so it thought).
    Now, the computer wouldl not function because it runs into a kernal panic, forcing me to hard shut-down the computer. It happened everytime, sometimes during startup, sometimes not until I got into OS X, but always soon after the OS starts.
    I then booted the computer as a "Safe boot" and this seemed to stop the kernal panics, and I shut down the computer and started it again with no panics. There was no longer any recognition of the Airport card, either. Not even through the Airport Setup Assistant. It keeps telling me there is no card installed.
    I have tried two seperate cards, as I thought maybe the one went bad, but nothing came of this. I tried zapping the PRAM, booting into Open Firmware to reset to defaults, all leading to nothing. I even went so far as to completely erase the drive and do a clean install of OS X, which now drops my system down to 10.4. NOTHING.
    Please, anyone willing to help that would be great, even if you would like to contact me through iChat and we can discuss this over iSight to get to the root of the problem. Screen name is CoreyAtMiamiU.
    Sorry about the long post and thanks for taking the time to read it.

    This is a user to user discussion area. So it is unpredictable as to when someone with a suggestion will respond to your post. An hour in the middle of a work day isn't a long time.
    Since the card is recognized, there isn't anything wrong with that side of the card. If the card isn't receiving a signal, either the RF side of the card has failed, the antenna wire isn't connected properly, or the antenna in the PowerBook has failed.

  • Powerbook 520c no longer boots?

    Hi,
    I recently got hold of a PB520c (System 7.1 installed.) Everything booted fine to start with, but now something seems to have gone wrong. When I try to boot it I get the Mac logo for about half a second, then the screen flickers and an picture of a floppy disk with a question mark appears on the screen.
    The last thing I installed before this happened was Apple's Intelligent Battery software (the battery seemed dead and I wanted to see if I could revive it.) However, I had rebooted several times since then.
    THe problem first appeared when I restarted while running on battery power only (I don't know if this had anything to do with it.) As the OS shut down it came up a message about the Autoremounter preferences file not being found, but it had restarted itself before I had a chance to do anything about this.
    Is there any way to revive the Powerbook? Unfortunately I don't have any install disks for it. Would I be able to create install disks from the System 7.5.3 disk images Apple has for download? (I don't have any Macs with floppy drives apart from the 520c unfortunately.)
    In case this matters (I doubt it does) the Powerbook only boots from the AC adapter, once it's running it will work from batteries, but I have to boot from the mains.
    Thanks in advance.

    Intelligent Battery Recondition (IBR) and VST's EMMpathy can often do in tandem what neither can do alone to revivify the PB 500 series batteries. It is more than probable that not being able to charge your batteries yet has caused the internal (deep) 616-0021 rechargeable backup battery to drain to the point that:
    1) it no longer buys the three minutes of time after the main batteries reach last gasp in which you can swap in a charged battery, or shut down gracefully, and
    2) cannot maintain PRAM settings, such as 'where is the startup volume?', and
    3) allows the Power Manager to get very confused indeed.
    With batteries out and AC adapter disconnected, allow the PB to sit for 10min. Hold down the command-option-control-power keys together (the 500s lack the reset/interrupt switches of other PBs and desktops) for 20-odd sec. to reset the Power Manager. Reconnect the AC adapter, start up and immediately hold command-option-p-r to reset the PRAM (and point the PB at its hard drive). If the PB successfully boots from its hard drive, you can insert the batteries, but don't attempt to power the PB from them. Let them take what charge they will as you use the machine and after shutdown.
    If they show no sign of charging after 24hr of opportunity to charge from the adapter, begin the head-banging exercise of resuscitation. EMMpathy gives more info. as it diagnoses battery condition, but it is not more successful by itself than is Apple's app. in overcoming the first hurdle: the microprocessor (EEPROM) in the battery. Start IBR with a battery half-inserted into the right bay. When IBR asks 'wheresabaddery', push the battery right in. With luck, IBR will then fast charge the battery to the point that the microprocessor will remember that it is intelligent, and perhaps continue to charge the battery. If IBR tells you to return the battery to Apple, resist the urge and repeat the process several times until ...
    EMMpathy can be employed when this initial phase of reanimating the zombie is over. It will give you a dossier on the battery's present state, show the current proportion of full charge as the battery continues to charge, and install the Sleep Drain Bug Fix that supposedly supplies an antibiotic after the boil has been lanced. Above all, however, nil desperandum. Just leaving the PB on the AC adapter night and day may also help in the reanimation. In the meantime, the PB 500 will be a snappy performer on the adapter.
    The backup battery reputedly recharges only as the main batteries reach full charge, but often much sooner, such that you may find that the PB remembers its hard drive's whereabouts at the next startup. While the batteries are reawakening (and permanent return to health is only about 50% likely at best) you can proceed to test the HDD with Disk First Aid, reinstall the HDD's driver with Drive Setup (both from a suitable '040-savvy Disk Tools diskette) and re-install or upgrade the OS. How far depends on your RAM complement, which is 36MB at maximum.

  • Powerbook G4 can't connect via ethernet but connects via airport

    We have a small office network connected to an Efficient Networks DSL router that's managed by our isp. The router has 4 ports and a linksys 8 port switch is connected to one of those ports. Another D-Link wireless router/switch is connected to another port.
    2 i-macs connect without problem via ethernet cable. They are set to DHCP and get 192.xx private addresses. Both run 10.4.5. Another older imac running 9.2.2. also has no problems.
    I recently purchased a powerbook G4 and it will not connect via ethernet to the Efficient networks router. At first it was connected to the linksys, so decided to connect it direct to the Efficient Networks router. With DHCP, it acquires a 169. internet address which is self generated (i.e. no real connection). I tried to give it a static private address (talking to the isp provider). They could see the powerbook but saw all zero's (presumable mac address). By the way the Powerbook works perfectly at home connected via ethernet cable to a D-Link router connected to a cable modem so it's not a physical problem. I even checked the ethernet cable I used in the office with another computer - no problem.
    When I switch to airport in the office, the powerbook connects to the network and the internet. I get some strange warning messages showing the server's and the router's private ip addresses. I click ok, and the powerbook finds an unassigned private ip address. It's the only way it will work, but it causes problems, because I can't connect to one of the network printers. Speed also isn't great.
    Can anyone give me advise how to proceed. I am no expert on this stuff so keep it as simple as possible.
    Tks

    Tim,
    Thanks for your help. Here's what I've done before reading your e-mail. The D-Link DI-524 wireless router is connected to the Effiicent Neworks DSL router as you mentioned. One ethernet port of the EFF.Net. router is connected to the WAN port of the DI-514.
    Because I have a D-Link router at home which works flawlessly with my powerbook, I decided to connect the ethernet cable of the powerbook to the D-Link which has 4 ethernet ports. Lo and behold, the powerbook acquired a private ip address and connected to the LAN and internet!
    When I connected the powerbook direct to the Efficient Networks router, it could not communicate. I believe that there must be some software incompatibility between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router. By connecting to the D-Link, the D-Link assigned an ip address to the powerbook, and it could connect to the server, lan, etc..
    Only problem is that I have a Brother network printer that cannot connect to the powerbook. My powerbook cannot find it on the network. Because there is a linksys switch connected to the efficient networks router's third ethernet port, maybe as you said, going through the D-Link via DHCP (when the Linksys is also acting as a DHCP server, might cause this type of problem. What do you think?
    As a final note, other imac G5's connected to the linksys switch (which then connects to the Efficient Network's router) have no problem connecting to the lan or internet and have no problem connecting to any of the printers. When I put the powerbook on that switch, I could not connect to the internet - i.e. whether connecting via the lynksys switch or direct with the efficient networks router - same results: no internet connection whether manually or via DHCP.
    So the imac G5 has no problem with the efficient networks router but the powerbook G4 hits a brick wall. The G4 likes the D-Link router. I am concerned (and I will have to check this) that if I turn off the dhcp server feature from the D-Link, that whatever software issue crops up between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router, will rise up again, because the D-Link will act like a simple switch (just like my linksys switch), and we'll be back to square zero. In any case, no harm in trying. This may be the cause of the Powerbook not seeing that Brother printer (even though it sees another printer and other macs).
    Having spent hours reading about network problems, I think it's safe to say that macs have problems with certain routers. Why a G5 works and a powerbook G4 doesn't is beyond me, but clearly software must play a role.
