USB problem on iBook G-4 with OSX 10.3.9

I rebuild a new system disk from scratch as the previous one crashed. Installed 10.3 and proceeded to perform all the updates to 10.3.9 (which wasn't the case on the previous system disk running 10.3.6).
Everything works except I can't get my Fuji camera to be recognized on the desktop or by the Fuji FinePixel software. I haven't tried yet to take the xD card out as I don't have a reader handy.
Any ideas? Thanx
Siberian

Thanx JerBer I'll try that. What is weird is that the printer for example connected to the same USB port works fine, the USB hub which has a mouse connected to it works fine - just the **** camera. Even if it's a Fuji issue with the FinePix software, it SHOULD at least show up on the desktop as a device even if the software had an issue no?
Thanx again

Frequent problems in Apple PPC Mac with OSX Leopard 10.5.8

Hi,
Frequent problems in Apple PPC computers with OSX Leopard10.5.8
I have a Imac 17icnh G5 2Ghz 512 ram (Standard not the isight) it had a clean install of OSX 10.5
But after running a update to 10.5.8 with update if Itunesand security etc it was about 6 updates all together.
Now the Imac uses to much CPU for small tasks and uses84-90MB of ram for a Kernal Task.
When I try check permissions in disk utility the CPU goes toabout 80% in something called InstallerB and wont finnsh because there is no CPU power left
and will over heat if I left it for too long.
The Exact symptoms of the 10.5.8 with update my differ alittle but I have had this same problem on about 5 PPC apple computers and in the end I sometimes
Just down grade to the flawless Tiger 10.4.11.
So my question is > how do I fix this problem ? Which of the Updates dose this to PPC mac’s ? (is it itunes or securtiy)
Is Leopard 10.5.8 just a peace of JUnk just like windows Vista was and I should alwasy use Tiger for PPC and Snow leopard for Intel.

Hi Sam,
Leo uses 2 to 4 times the resources of Tiger, & while 512MB is the minimum for Leo, that really crimps the OS, it isn't all that great for Tiger, though 10.4 does better with only 512MB, I'd put 2GB in it for decent performance, (if an IntelMac I'd say 4GB for the same OS).

Also, open Console in Utilities, look for repeating messages, you may have some 10.04 things running that fail in 10.5.
I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Is Leopard 10.5.8 just a peace of JUnk just like windows Vista was and I should alwasy use Tiger for PPC and Snow leopard for Intel.
In my opinion, OSX is headed towards Windows®, & aimed at users that only know how to Twit.
If Tiger does everything you need, like you don't need iDevices & know how to protect yourself on the Internet without the added Security of 10.5 & associated Apps, then by all means stick with 10.4.11.
If you want/need 10.5... max out the RAM for sure.

Problem in iBooks 3.2 with position absolute in iOS 7.0.4

We are positioning in a reflow-able ebook a "div container" via "position absolute”. The position of the div container is changed via “translate3d”.
Everything work fine in iOS 5.1.1 / eBooks 3.1 and iOS 6.1.3 / eBooks 3.1.
But in iOS 7.0.4 / iBooks 3.2 we are confronted with the following problems:
Image container: after page 1 double clicking the image does not work as the text layer is responding the touch event instead of the div container.
Video container: closing the fullscreen view jumps to the hidden div container on the last page (if hidden on the first page closing the full screen video jumps to the first page too).
Question:
What is the reason for this behavior?
Does “position absolute” not work any longer in iBooks 3.2+
If yes - what can be used instead?
Is there any documentation on how iBooks 3.2 handles HTML, CSS and JavaScript beyond the documentation in iTunesConnect? Especially regarding the difference from the standard behavior of webkit.

Take the phone back to the shop and ask for a refund.

I am still having a problem getting Mail to work with OSX 10.6.8. Non of the fixes are working for me. Any help would be appreciated

Hi, tried the Apple fix, installing the OSX combo update followed by the Safari update followed by the security update, nothing.
Tried the thing where you toss the mail program in the trash and then install the security update, nothing.
Is there anyone else who has a problem even after all trhe fixes suggested here and in Apple support?
Thank you

What version of Mail and what happens when you try to use Mail? A little more information would help.

Problems scanning HP PHOTOSMART 5520 with OSX 10.9 Mavericks

Hi,
I have recently download OS 10.9 Mavericks. And now HP PHOTOSMART 5520 SCAN is not working properly. In fact I cannot scan. I use the printer by wifi.
Do we need drivers for OSX 10.9 Mavericks?
Alberto Bermejo

I should be more clear. Scanning with HP Scan, I can scan and see a preview. I can save the file ONCE but the image or docuement is garbled when I open the saved file. If I try to save again using a different format (and a different name), I get the error:
"An error has occured saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the proerties for the file to make sure it is not read-only."

Problem removing a partition created with OSX Lion

Hello,
I have two partitions on my MacbookPro. The first contains Lion the second SL. I am removing Lion (battery life is halfed as the OS is much more processor intensive). The SL partition boots and works fine and has the latest version of all OS files.
My goal is to remove the Lion partition (and the rescue partiton).
I have tried:
1. From the disk utility in the SL partition: Unmounting partition 1. and deleting it. It tells me that it is an error and it is unable to delete this partition.
2. From the disk utility in the SL partition: Erasing all data on the partition and formatting with the journaling option. Same error as 1.
3. Booting into the Lion rescue partition and running Disk utility from there (version 12.0). Same error as 1.
Does anyone know how I can delete this partition, delete the rescue disk partition and merge the two?
Many thanks for any and all help!
James

Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

Usb wifi compatible with osx 10.8

Hi I need to buy a usb wifi adapter for my macbook pro 13' mid 2009. The airport card won't work anymore. It's not a problem with airport itself, it seems the problem has something to do with some sort of connection problem between the airport card, bluetooth, the webcam and the mother board, and to repair that connection would be expensive. Does anyone know of any usb wifi adapter which would work with osx 10.8? 150 or 300 MPS? Thank you.
Ben

Pages 5 is not compatible with OSX 10.8, or anything else much.
Page '09 is compatible.

USB audio hardware: what works with iBook 366 clam and OSX 2.8?

I just bought a Behringer UAC202 USB audio interface. My iBook will recognize that it is attached and will give me audio 'out' settings, but it will not configure any audio 'in' settings. It works fine on my iBook G4 with OSX 4.11 however.
Is this a Behringer problem? Do I need to use OSX Panther on the old iBook? Is there a problem with the old clamshell's as far as USB audio in?
Anyone know a cheap USB audio hardware that works in this case? I want to dedicate this great old machine to some easy audio useage.... using the Polar RAM looper instrument in Digital Performer..... and nothing else..... I'm not recording audio to my hard drive..... just want to get audio in and out of the iBook to and from Digital Performer.
Thanks!

Driver support in Panther is pretty limited with regards to newer hardware as far as i've experienced. If there isn't any drivers offered, either by the company or via third party, then you may be stuck.
The only way that i get audio in on my Blueberry iBook is with the Apple iMic that i picked up at an Apple Store a few years ago. It works fine under panther, tiger and leopard.
Good Luck

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Import DNG Hang Problem with OSX not with Win 7

I installed LR4 on both my Mac Pro and Win7 machines for comparison purposes and have encountered a problem with importing files and converting to DNG format with OSX that is not present with Win7.
OSX machine
first gen Intel MAC Pro + 8GB memory multiple disks OSX 10.7.2
Win7 Machine - latest set of MS patches installed
Sandy Bridge Processor I5 2500K + 8GB memory multiple disks
On both machines:
I am importing 12 test images taken with my Nikon D300 and using a Kingston USB card reader
Copying to a data only disk that does not contain the catalog
Convert to DNG with copy to a sub-directory
Renaming the files to DSC_0001.DNG sequence format
Standard Previews
Dont import suspected duplicated enabled
No develop settings
Metadata with a simple copyright statement
OSX seemed to import the 12 DNG's ok as they all showed up on the Library grid screen... but the import seemed to hang before completion and no CPU was being consumed - this was prior to the previews being generated
I waited for 10 minutes with no CPU activity and then cancelled the Lightroom task, at that point LR4 generated the previews and everything looks fine, I can modify the DNG images and everything seems normal with them
With Win7 everything went as expected and completed in under 1 minute
I have screen shots available and I can reproduce this behaviour consistently on OSX

UPDATE - Further testing
I tried to import the images into LR3 and it worked fine on OSX (I don't have LR3 on WIN7)
However when under LR4 the hanging problem also occurs if I do a straight copy as well (ie: Dont convert to DNG format)

USB problems with new external HD

I recently bought a 160 GB external USB 2.0 drive to use with my iBook G3 (900 40 GB HD 14” screen) and it seems to have wacked out my USB ports. One simply isn’t working at all. Through the other, I use a USB hub to plug in my drive and other USB devices. I have the drive partitioned into a backup, a folder for my iTunes music, and one general purpose partition. The icons don’t always show up on my desktop without restarting and when they are there, sometimes they just blip out for no apparent reason. Plus, the other devices plugged into the USB hub (Griffin iMic, AirClick, RocketFM and iPod cradle) are erratic. Before the new HD, I had used all of these a long time with no problems. I have had to reset my iPod a couple of times because it loses functions.
Reading these forums, I am beginning to wish I had gone with Firewire instead for the external hard drive. I see inexpensive Firewire enclosures for sell on eBay. Could I take the hard drive out of the USB enclosure and move it to a Firewire enclosure? And is it really as easy to insert the drive as the enclosure vendors make it sound? Or does anyone have a simpler suggestion? I have tried zapping the PRAM but could not tell a difference. And I have thought about reinstalling the OS. I am running Panther. I have thought about going to Tiger. Could this be helpful? Is there a way to tell if my USB plug-in socket is physically damaged? I have also seen suggested here that faulty RAM can cause problems. I am maxed out at 640 and it all shows up in the system profile.
I know I am asking a lot of questions here. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.
iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I recently bought a 160 GB external USB 2.0 drive to
use with my iBook G3 (900 40 GB HD 14” screen) and it
seems to have wacked out my USB ports. One simply
isn’t working at all. Through the other, I use a USB
hub to plug in my drive and other USB devices. I have
the drive partitioned into a backup, a folder for my
iTunes music, and one general purpose partition. The
icons don’t always show up on my desktop without
restarting and when they are there, sometimes they
just blip out for no apparent reason.
Is the drive a USB self-powered drive or does it have an external power supply?
If it is a USB self-powered drive then the iBook's USB port probably isn't powerful enough to run the drive and this is impacting on the other USB devices.
If you can get a power supply for the drive that is certainly one option.
Reading these forums, I am beginning to wish I had
gone with Firewire instead for the external hard
drive. I see inexpensive Firewire enclosures for sell
on eBay. Could I take the hard drive out of the USB
enclosure and move it to a Firewire enclosure?
Possibly, depends on the drive and how it has been configured.
And is
it really as easy to insert the drive as the
enclosure vendors make it sound?
Certainly the enclosures I have used have been easy to use.
Or does anyone have
a simpler suggestion?
Sell the USB drive and buy a Firewire drive, could be cheaper than buying an enclosure.

10.4 client problem with OSX Server 10.5.8

I have an late 2009 X_server with OSX 10.5.8 running, have binding to AD and enabled system as OD master. I have added an ad user to an od group and set a prefernce in the DOC to add the Group folder to the doc.
On my MBP mostly all goes well except for a question mark for ther group folder. But on an old G4 tower I'm testing with it just prompts me about not being assigned to a group and gives the option to apply settings. but the settinsg never take place. Has any had this problem before? Thanks in advance. Art

I've got the Audiotron working again. I found some info on basically opening the entire share to guest access. Reference this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=392697
I tried changing "encrypt passwords" (global section) to "no" and that didn't help. Then I added this to the music share and everything works. Probably not the best security solution, but I'm behind a firewall.
In /etc/smb.conf added for the music share:
public = yes
only guest = no
writable = no
printable = no
(I still left "encrypt passwords = no" in the global section. I'm not sure if that made a difference or not.)

Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
Heading Import Results
Some import operations were not performed
Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
then a description of the image with file name
Box Save As Box OK
If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
Thanks if you can can help out.

Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13", 2012, running Mountain Lion

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13”, 2012, running Mountain Lion & Windows 7 Ultimate - BootCamp. I’ve heard that the Buffalo MiniStation Encryption does not work with OSX, is that true..? I'd like it to work with both operating systems, using the built in hardware encryption. Thanks
