Reccomendation for a Leopard Mac compatible modem Stick

I am a new MacBook lover and I am slowly but surely getting everything I require setup on my new machine. One of my final challenges is to find a descent Modem stick that I can purchase that is compatible with my Mac. Vodafone say that theres can be made to work but that it is not officially compatible. They would be my preference as I already have a contract with them, although if requireds I could get a pay a you go device with another surplier, any help to resolve greatly appreciated. Lets see if Mac assistance is as good as my new toy.

I don't know about the UK - but the Vodafone mobile stick is officially supported on OS X in Australia: http://www.vodafone.com.au/help/mobilebroadband/internetstick/index.htm
I can't see any reason why it would be different over there!

Any options for a non-mac-compatible printer?

My Samsung ML-1710 printer is not Mac-compatible (says so clearly on their website). No other options? Just throw my printer out the window and get a new one?

For what (very!) little it is worth, Samsung used to supply OS X compatible drivers for the ML-1710, but they could be hard to find. I own a 1710 & found a driver that worked well with OS 10.4 Tiger at SAMSUNG's Digital World - Support, although it was released in 2004 & listed as supporting 10.3.
The basic problem seems to be that Samsung used a proprietary printing language ("SPL," for Samsung Printer Language) in the 1710 & some of its other low end laser printers & although the Mac drivers for this were supposed to be CUPS compatible, they were not compatible with CUPS support in later Mac OS versions. Samsung USA never officially supported these drivers (which is why you had to get them from an international Samsung website).
The details are fuzzy in my memory but as I remember it, this "SPL2.5" driver also worked with my G5 iMac when it was first upgraded to Leopard 10.5 & even worked when the ML-1710 was connected to my Airport Extreme 802.11n, but after applying one of the later 10.5 updates (10.5.6 ?) it quit working with the Airport. I never got around to seeing if the same was true for a direct USB printer connection to the G5 & I have not tried using this driver with Snow Leopard or with Leopard on any of my Intel Macs, but I doubt it will work.
Eventually, I'll try the solution mentioned by Matt Broughton & try to post my results here, but this is not a high priority for me since I now use a nice Canon MP-620 color inkjet for my (very limited) printing needs.

Migration Question for New Leopard Mac Mini

Oh my... I have a new Leopard Mac Mini still in the box!
I want to connect it up and migrate my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, etc. to it from my old Mac Mini but here's the thing: my old Mac Mini is a G4, powerpc mac has been through a sort of mini **** lately and at this time will need it's hard disk repaired before I will be able to get it back up to 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. that it had had only last week, before all manner of disasters happened after the last security update. Genius bar made it relatively functional by re-installing the OS but they used 10.4.7 and Safari 2.0.4. to do it! So here is my question: Do I need to get my PPC Mac back up to snuff completely before I can migrate stuff from it to the new Leopard Mac Mini or can I do the migration and get everything nice and lovely on the new machine even though there are still problems on the old Mac Mini?
Here is the problem that the PPC G4 Mac Mini has at this time:
Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid index key
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Would this pose a problem in the migration?
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! -Charlotte

The best thing I can say about your post is that at least you realize that Installing Leopard on a broken Tiger and a G4 processor files is exactly how hundreds of the problems are being caused. Too many people have decided that "Apple Just Works" and figure that installing the newest most complex MacOS ever will just work. These people are getting "worked".
Good Luck cleaning up your machine to tip-top shape to 10.4.11, with every update for every program you intend to transfer. Your drive must be squeeky clean, or you will have problems that nobody can explain. I'd recommend removing any applications you don't have to have or that you can reinstall easily with a program like App Zapper and get rid of the G4 system files as much as possible.

What's the best mac-compatible memory stick?

The 2Gb memory stick I've just bought won't store files that have a forward slash in the title, which means me changing hundreds of file names before I can use it. Is this standard or is there a more compatible stick that I can use?

Hi, SCWP, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your inability to use a "/" in filenames has nothing at all to do with the RAM module you've installed. Quoting from Mac OS Help:
You cannot use a colon (:) in the name of files and folders. Mac OS X uses this character to separate folders in pathnames.
In addition, some applications may not allow you to use slashes (/) in the names of items.
I suspect the applications that don't allow slashes in filenames are probably ones that write their files in cross-platform formats, so that a Microsoft Windows-based version of the application can open them directly. The slash and many other characters are illegal in Windows filenames, so it's best to avoid them on a Mac when naming files that may be shared with Windows users. Here are the characters Windows doesn't allow:
[ ] / \ = + ; : " , | *
Note that you've posted your question in a Titanium Powerbook G4 forum, and no Titanium Powerbook can use any 2GB memory module (Tibooks are limited to a maximum of 1GB of RAM, in two 512MB modules.) I don't know what Mac model you have, but in future you may get help faster by posting your questions in the most appropriate forum(s).

Looking for a Intel-Solaris8 compatible modem

hi,
I'm trying to obtain a compatible internal modem for my Intel Solaris 8 box, any good recommendation? I would prefer one which will be recognised by Solaris 8 during installation. Thanks in advance for your advice!!
rgrds,
cmk168

Thanks OSXFreak, that's also a great looking case.
The case I bought is the Otterbox Defender. It was about a toss up between the Otterbox and the Case-Mate Tough Case that I saw using the link from OSXFreak and I can't say one is better than the other. I bought the Otterbox mainly because I found it in a store locally and I'd read good reviews on it so I grabbed it. I work on the water and on steel decks, another reason for buying the Otterbox however I think I'd like the Tough Case as well.
Thanks for the help guys.

Suggestion for a truly Mac-compatible webcam?

I'm not sure which is the best group for this, so here goes. I need a wireless (wifi 802.11g) network camera, which I will access from a Mac. A number of cameras rated highly on-line don't actually work with Mac because they need an ActiveX control (only available on Windows with Internet Explorer) or need a PC for the initial setup. Can someone recommend a good network camera that doesn't need any PC involvement?
Thanks!
Mike

Ok, I can provide you with a better answer than linking to a Google search.
Look for a camera with similar features to the isight.
CCD sensor has a 640×480-pixel VGA resolution. Autoexposure, autofocusing from 50 mm to infinity, and video capture at 30 frames per second in 24-bit color with a variety of shutter speeds. Internal microphones with dual-element noise suppression.
Like these cameras:

Hello invulnerable_0916
Your quick cam for notebooks pro will work with your Mac OS X (10.6.1) equipped macbook pro if it is Logitech Part/Number 861303 (USB/PID 08CB).
One of the improvements added by Mac OS X 10.4.9 was support for USB Video Class (UVC) webcams. Therefore, any Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later can use any "UVC" webcam. However, not all USB connected webcams meet the UVC standard.
Per this Logitech page, QuickCam for Notebooks Pro comes in two different versions. Only the newer version identified above is UVC compliant and will work seamlessly with current Macs.
If your quick cam for notebooks pro is the older version of quick cam for notebooks pro, Logitech Part/Number 861209 (USB/PIDnbsp;08C3), it is not "UVC" compliant and does not work with Mac.
For more info on the UVC subject, see this thread:

Install Snow Leopard for a specific mac

Using the retail Snow Leopard disc, is there a way to force it to install all the needed parts for a specific mac? My example is: I have a Mac Mini I want to use to set up what will be a replacement hard drive for a MacBook Pro. I want to make sure the OSX that gets installed for the MacBook Pro has all it needs to function as if it came directly from Apple or in other words, it's own specific default install.

My MacBook (2008) has all the same components listed in System/Library/Core Services and System/Library/Core Services/Menu Extras as my Mac Pro (2007). Even though the MacBook doesn't have a need for things like the Expansion Slot Utility and Memory Slot Utility and my Mac Pro doesn't use the IrDA.menu or ExpressCard.menu.
I don't believe there is a specific model install unless your computer came out after the retail disk was made but then all you would have to do is install all the updates and it should work. I believe I've even booted my laptop off of my desktop hard drive in target disk mode for troubleshooting/repair and don't recall seeing anything odd as far as menu items go (but its been a while). I could do it again if you really want but it's a bit of a hassle.

It is NVIDIA 4800 for MAC Compatible with a Mid 2010 MACPRO,... 5,1

I would like to know if my MACPRO Mid 2010 (5,1) it is compatible with NVIDIA FX 4800 for mac or NVIDIA 4000
thank you

Apple no longer lists it, Nvidia web site though:
Go to • About This Mac
Click on the • More Info button
Select • Hardware
The model identifier should be MacPro3,1 or MacPro4,1 (2008 or 2009) or later
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_4800_for_mac_us.html
And if you are going to spend say $798 for Q4000 (Amazon, Mac Pro version) maybe wait and see but 10.7.4 support for a GTX 570 2.5GB might do a better job even where Quadro use to (due to drivers, not hardware itsself)

I am looking to purchase a monitor for a Power Mac G4 OR a Web cam that is compatible with the the Power Mac G4.

I have a G4 Power Mac without the original monitor - I am using a monitor from a PC that does not have a built in webcam. I have also tried a "Blue" brand webcam that was received as a gift for me that does not work...and went to best buy to buy a compatable one and they had none that they thought would work w/ the G4 power mac What are my options? Ideally the cheapest would be a compatable webcam. any thoughts/suggestions? or thoughts about where to get a replacement original monitor.
thanks!

HI,
ON the cam front.
The OS will support UVC compliant camera (USB Video Class) since 10.4.9 in iChat (Slightly earlier in other apps)
The issue for older G4 macs is that these are always USB 2.0 cameras (Used to be marked "Vista Ready" or "Certified" as Windows went USB 2.0 about the same time).
I have a G4/1ghz Dual Processor tower (So called Mirrored Doors)
This can have extra PCI cards and have installed one with 4 USB 2.0 ports (Remove blank, insert and secure with screw and away it went)
Nowadays virtually any USB webcam will be UVC compliant and USB 2.0 (Meaning no Windows or Mac Drivers to download and Install)
The abilities of the Drivers in the OS do vary between Windows and Macs of this age. (Lion on Intels does bring face tracking).
Anyways, once you solve the USB 2.0 input issue then virtually any USB 2.0 camera will work including the X-Box 360 cam or a PalyStation 3 one
Firewire
The Original External iSight was of course Firewire.
There were a number of other around the same time (Until USB cameras took over).
This means that some DV convertors that use Firewire to get Analogue CamCorders signals into a Mac will work (some digital camcorders may not produce a DV signal as such and will need a convertor)
The camera may have options on it's playback that mean it can be in 4:3 ratio if used with iChat. It also cannot be HDV (or any propriatary form) (You have to have an Intel and Lion/iChat 6 for HD).
Of course some DV camcorders do use Firewire to connect to a computer (although this has dropped off as USB 2.0 is actually slightly faster)
iMovie will accept many more formats than iChat will but you were talking about Web Cams.
NOTES
You may find sites still trading the external iSight. They are going to be at least 8 years old now and you will need to check so how that they are working
USB 1.1
If you can find a USB 1.1 Camera for sale or tucked in a drawer it will need two things:-
1) A Mac Driver
2) This Utility for iChat http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/
Some manufacturers did have web sites with Downloads.
The Camera Guide page at Ecamm shows the links to two third Party Drivers from macam and IOXperts.
You will note the first Ecamm page says that iUSBCam does not work in Snow Leopard but you specs do say you are using Leopard (10.5)
Back to Screens
My tower has a card that supports two monitors.
The one I bought with my Tower was the Studio Display (Same Acrylic type surround to the screen as the Tower). (It does have USB 1.1 ports on the back)
This used the then Apple Display Connector (ADC)
It also had a DVI output.
Ergo any DVI Screen will work.
As to whether a DVI screen/display with a camera can use that DVI connector to feed the Camera to the Mac I don't know.

Mac-compatible plug-in for feathered-wipe video transitions?

Does anyone know of a Mac-compatible alternative for SpiceMaster for creating feathered wipe video transitions? I've just been handed off a job (let's just say the company who started it is "no longer in the picture") and all they used feathered wipe via the SpiceMaster plug-in about 100-150 times (in a 15 minute video — sigh). Anyways, I can't change the visual direction of the project, I just have to clean up the mess. We're Mac-only and the SpiceMaster plug-in isn't available on the Mac.
While one option is to use a liner wipe Video Effect (which allows for the feather), because of the amount of transitions in this job, that's not only a major pain in the arse in itself, but having to move clips in alternating tracks and overlap the footage, etc. becomes a huge headache when they decide to change the edit (as, all of a sudden, the alternating of the clips to different tracks goes all out of wack).
Anyway, I'm hoping someone could suggest a Video Transition plug-in that would allow me to do feathered wipes. It'd mean the difference between a quick replacing of the SpiceMaster transition with whatever plug-in I could use vs. a nightmare of a project using the linear wipe Video Effect.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!!
Kristin.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried using the gradient wipe, but was unsuccessful in attaining the desired effect. Here's a quick screencap to show what I'm seeing:
The problem is, this results in a very narrow wipe. I mean, it's no longer a fine line between image1 and image2, there is some feather, but I really need to feather it out. The gradient I created is the same dimensions as the sequence I'm working in, and is a gradient from 100% black on the left side to pure white on the right, with a nice gradient in between. But, when I use this, it's almost like the source gradient is squished in (on the width) resulting in a very narrow feathered wipe.
Below is an example of the rendered video as it was when using SpiceMaster to create the feathered wipe. The first image is the image directly before the wipe starts, the second image the image directly after the end of the wipe, and the third image is a capture mid-wipe. As you can see, there is a very wide feather during the transition as opposed to what is seen in the screen capture above.
Am I doing something wrong when creating my custom gradient? It seems like, since my source file is a nice, wide gradient, it should result in a wide feather, but for some reason it seems to squish down into a narrow feather?
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Kristin.

many thanks Carl.

You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.
