PowerBook & Mini compatibility problem

This took some troubleshooting but now that it is repeatable I am hoping for some kind of solution.
I have two Mini/intel systems and a 12" PBG4. If I create a computer-to-computer network on the PowerBook everything works fine. If I actually create the c-to-c network on either Mini the connection indicates it is fine in all the preference panes however nothing functions for the PowerBook (web, afp, itunes etc all fail) while the Minis can chat away no problem. Since the PowerBook is the portable machine that comes and goes I would prefer to use one of the Minis to create the network. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

(all systems 10.4.8 and are 'up to date' according to software update. No internet connections involved, just static IPs, appletalk and the peer to peer network. All systems have airport extreme cards.)

Hi Duane,
No internet involved or internet sharing. 3 Macs (10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.3) with only airport enabled in Network Port Configurations. From the Airport Status menu bar icon I am choosing Create Network... naming it and assigning it a WEP password. One mini has Apache, AFP and iTunes sharing enabled. The remaining two macs join the network using the WEP password and all claims to be functioning properly in the Network prefs pane as well as the Airport Status menu in the menu bar.
The PowerBook can see the iTunes shared folder, mount the AFP volume and view the Apache pages if it creates the network, however cannot if the network is created from the Mini.
Since there is a repeatable recipe I can use to get the computers networked I don't see this as a huge problem, but I would certainly enjoy having things actually function as I think Apple intended. This perhaps could be some bug or incompatibility yet to be noticed simply because it is not likely a common setup.
Thanks,
Greg

  • Are There Compatability Problems Wtih Adobe Photoshop CS2 On The Windows Portion of iMac?

    I understand that there are compatability problems with CS2 and lower vesions of the creative suite in relation to Leoapard OSX. Are there any compatability problems with CS2 for Windows if I install it on the Windows (using XP) partition of an iMac that uses the Leopard OSX?
    Please advise. Thanks.

    If its not running in Leopard you should be fine.
    don't confuse running PowerPC software in Rosetta (PPC emulation) with running CS2 in XP which is native. It like apples and oranges. there is nothing in common.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    When you install one of the above it will use your existing bookmarks etc

  • Wierd monitor compatibility problem

    Hi all,
    Got a wierd monitor compatibility problem. G3 works fine on a sony 21" CRT.
    Connected it to a Daytec 15" CRT which works fine with a windows 98 PC.
    With the G3 I get the apple and the spinning up logo then the screen just goes blank.
    Is this monitor PC only or something? It is an old monitor but I thought any monitor should work
    if the vga connector fits?

    So you are using this directly plugged into the stock Display card in a Blue & White G3 with NO adapter?
    The Mac is probably still set for a higher resolution that the SONY can do, and has not noticed the display has changed.
    Video pros says that Video can be plugged and unplugged all day long with no bad effects. If your old display is still around, try setting it to 640 by 480, save changes, and swap the other one in "live" at that resolution.
    Other tricks:
    Reset the PRAM. This will send you back to a default setting while booting up, but may change when the system becomes active.
    Boot from a CD. This ignores the settings on your Hard drive, and boots to a very simple resolution like 640 by 480 to ensure that Most Macs can start up with it.

  • Shockwave player updates: graphics card compatibility problems?

    I've recently had a new problem reported to me in the Driveway Visualiser, a piece of Shockwave 3D content that I've been maintaining since we built it in 2008.  I'm wondering if  recent updates to the Shockwave Plugin (e.g. 11.5.8.612) may be contributing to this...
          www.marshalls.co.uk/transform/driveway_visualiser/dv.asp
    So I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had any new problems affecting old content. I tried reverting the dcr file to last year's version but the same problem still occurs, so it doesn't seem to be a recently-added bug in my code.  I think it could be either a compatibility problem between the graphics card and the plugin, or between the Director 11.0 dcr and the Shockwave 11.5 web player.
    Because we need the DirectImage Xtra, it's Windows only.  For  each different computer that we've tested, the Driveway Visualiser (DV) will either always  work or always fail on that machine - regardless of whether IE or  Firefox is used.  All the test machines have DirectX 9.0c; all are  running Win XP SP3 apart from one laptop with SP2 and Intel 965 chipset  on which the DV fails.  Only one has Director (11.0) installed, and on  that the DV always works.  The problem is much more common on laptops,  so we reckon that Shockwave's ability to interface with the various  graphics cards might be the reason why it's not getting the image  property of a 3D cast member.
    So here's what's actually happening:
    When you get to step 4 of the DV, after you've drawn round the shape of your driveway, it tries to grab the image of a 3D cast member referred to by the  variable gWorldMember, and fails with the "four parameters expected" error message, on  this line of code...
          zoomAfterImage.copyPixels(gWorldMember.image, zoomAfterImage.rect, gWorldMember.image.rect)
    gWorldMember.image is being returned as <image:0> (not a usuable  image) and so its rect property does not exist, hence the crash.  This  line of code crashes whether or not there's a sprite of the relevant 3D  member on the stage at the time.  The member's defaultRect has been  temporarily changed so we can grab a 1024x1024 image off it.  Using  copyPixels, this image is resized down to the size of the zoomAfterImage  image variable (again 450x450).  This gives us an image at the original  size of 450x450, but with a softer image quality than if we'd grabbed  it from the 3D member at that size.
    Is anyone suffering similar problems or aware of what Adobe has been changing in the player?  At the moment I just don't see how I can fix this by changing my code...

    I had wondered if there was a clash between the Director 11.0 dcr and the Shockwave 11.5 player, so I downloaded the Director 11.5 trial and re-published it using that.
    It didn't make any difference, so I'm left with my original suspicion that Shockwave is failing to interface with certain graphics hardware setups via directX, when it tries to read the image property of a 3D cast member.

  • My mac Mini has problem rendering images and video

    THE PROBLEM:
    My mac mini has problem rendering JPEG image. There are strips on the images. Other images such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP are displayed nicely.
    The images shown in the links below illustrate the problem:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/71481156/
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/73360989/
    (Please note that this image is grabbed from my faulty Mac Mini and saved into TIFF. For uploading purpose, I converted it into JPEG on ANOTHER computer.)
    For movies, AVI can be playback without problem. But when it is converted to MPEG, it looks like an untunned TV channel.
    FIXES TRIED:
    I did erase and install 3 to 4 times using both the install disc and my Tiger Family Pack. All ended up with strips on the JPEG images and the generated MPEG movies.
    I've also tried to flash the firmware to 113-xxxxx-124 using ATI's october 2005 universal ROM update, however, the ROM Revision shown in System Profiler is still 113-xxxxx-116 no matter how many time I reboot the system.
    INVESTIGATION:
    Yesterday, I did some research and got to know that JPEG and MPEG are using DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) for decompression. And the ATI Radeon 9200 chip provide such a transform on hardware basis, which free the CPU from doing something else. Feel free to point out my inaccuracy.
    HARDWARE SPECIFICATION:
    I bought the Mac Mini in the last Februray.
    The system Boot ROM version is: 4.8.9f1
    Display card is ATI Radeon 9200
    Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
    Revision ID: 0x0001
    ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-116
    A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION:
    I suspect that it is this part of the chip (the DCT) that is faulty.
    Anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Many thanks!

    Assuming that your display is tightly connected, thus the problem is not caused by something as simple as that, the fact that a full erase and install has not removed the problem would, I think, point to this being a hardware issue, and given that everyone's mini (with the possible exception of some of the latest ones) has the same video chipset as yours, and do not suffer the problem that you appear to, it seems very likely that your mini has a fault which is in need of repair.
    If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would take it there to have it checked out - at the very least they should be able to replicate your problem using an in-store display, and if not, thusly suggest it's something external to the mini and concerning your display or something very unusual in the immediate environment of the mini. If you don't have an Apple Store in reach, I'd take the system to an Apple authorized service provider since at the present time it is under warranty.

  • Compatibility problem with macro media flash active control

    I am getting a message on my screen "compatibility problem with macro media flash active control, it isnt compatible with my version of windows (vista).  How can this be fixed?  why am I suddenly getting it now?  I have the latest Adobe flash player installed.
    Trisha

    the latest flash is probably the problem... it's seems that the latest flash has been causing a boat load of issues. i did a system restore to undo the flash and mozilla upgrades and it's still crashing but not as bad as it was with the upgrades.

  • Plug-in 5.8.0 Compatibility Problem with Pr 8.2

    Hi Guys
    I'm running Win7, SP1 with a NVidia Quadro FX 3800 card. Is it me or is CC2014 a bug laden step backwards?
    Apart from the serious CUDA issue users are facing, since a couple of updates ago I get a compatibility problem. Whenever I try to launch Audition or AE (or even SmartSounds) from an open Pr project, I get an error message saying "Premiere Pro version 8.2 is not compatible with Premiere Pro Plug-in version 5.8.0." The issue first appeared in 8.1.
    Has anyone else faced this issue and how can I resolve it (before I throw in the towel and go back to CS5!?)
    Regards,
    Graham

    Thanks, Ann. I hadn't realised there was a 5.8.1 update, which seems to have solved the problem (I thought it was something deeper as the error appeared when I tried to open AE through the DL.

  • Audition 3 compatability problems in Windows 7 64bit?

    Hello,
    I'm having a very strange problem with Audition 3 burning CDs in Windows 7 64bit.
    On most occasions the first track is not playable in my CD player (Arcam CD-192) although other tracks do play.
    Sometimes only one track on the disc is playable and at other times the player can't load the disc at all.
    Is there a compatability problem with this OS?  If so can it be handled in some way?
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks for your consideration,
    cobaltgreen

    Yes it did play on the computer drive on which it had been made, but this is a really maddening problem.
    Yesterday I updated the firmware for  the optical drive in question (PLDS DVDRWBD DH-6E2S) and then, after that,  Auditon did produce a disc that played perfectly on my CD player.
    Today I made another disc  with the same drive and it didn't even load into the player.
    Huh??
    It seems to me that one should be able to expect the same results from a drive every time.
    I wish I could speak with the manufacturer of the drive but I have no idea who that might be.
