Using a Belkin UPS with Tiger 10.4.7

I bought a Belkin UPS to protect the mac from power outages but their Bulldog Plus software doesn't detect the USB connection after the mac goes to sleep.
So every day I have to restart the mac to keep the Bulldog's <UPS disconnect!> error message from interupting my work every minute. (And to communicate with the UPS in the event of a power failure)
Does anyone here use the System Preferences>Energy Saver>UPS option to control the shutdown process in the event of power failure? Does it work?
Belkin support for macs is sketchy at best. Is all this restarting bad for the iMac?

There are some good threads on UPS over in the G5 Forum, and a couple people who use Belkin.
You should be able to use Energy Saver AND Bulldog software (latest version?)
Found that one Quad on APS RS1500 really needed to use PowerChute (1.3.3) along with native support built into Tiger to work in all situations.
I don't need PowerChute for my MDD to recognize that it is on a UPS. Because I have more backup power than needed (have an extra battery power pack add-on that offers 2-3 hrs runtime) I've never gotten to the point where it was forced into shutdown.

  • Can't use Photoshop 5.5 with Tiger 10.4.6 onPowerbook inspite of re-install

    I can not use Photoshop 5.5 completely with Tiger 10.4.6 on PowerBook G4 15". Some features on the palette, such ac the cropping tool is simply not available. I have re-installed Photoshop 5.5, but no luck. Photoshop 5.5 works fine under 10.4.6 in Pismo with G4 upgrade. What gives?
    Thanks in advance to anybody who could help...

    It sounds like it is time to upgrade to Photoshop 7 or later. If it doesn't work properly in Classic, and you are finding your Pismo is becoming unworkable, either replacing it with another Pismo or Mac OS 9 booting machine is advisable, or upgrading to a Mac OS X native version of the software is advisable.

  • Using New Apple Keyboard with Tiger

    Hey all,
    So I recently got one of the new Apple Keyboards
    (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB869LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=Nzk3NjM4NQ) for me to use with my Macbook, which is connected to an external display. However, the one problem I've been having is that it seems like the function keys are mapped differently between Leopard/SL and Tiger, so that when I press F12, which should be volume up according to my keyboard, Dashboard appears instead, which is what happens on my Tiger Macbook's actual keyboard. Now this would be fine and dandy as long as F5 corresponded to volume up as well, as it does originally, but f5 now refreshes my internet page. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks.

    Check if reassigning keys in preferences > keyboard > keyboard shortcuts does anything
    Not sure if this helps:

  • Can pivot capable monitors be used in vertical position with Tiger OS?

    I'm a writer and want to purchase an LCD monitor with pivot cabability, so I can use it in the vertical position to see an entire page. I know that pivot monitors come with software to enable viewing in the vertical position for Windows PC's, but is this posible for a Mac running Tiger OS?

    It depends on the graphics in your Mac. See:
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302291>
    If Rotate is not in "Displays" System Preference, and your Mac uses the ATI graphics chip, you can try downloading ATI Displays from
    <http://www.ati.com>
    Some displays do rotation entirely within the display. For example a display would tell the computer it's 1600 x 1024 when horizontal, but would say it's 1024 x 1600 when vertical. You may have to use the "Detect Displays" button for the computer to see the change.

  • Using iPod Shuffle 4G with Tiger

    Hi All,
    Can anyone help? I want to use my iPod Shuffle 4th gen with an old iMac G5 running Tiger. I know it should not sync but am I right in thinking I can use the iMac to charge it from the USB when my laptop (which is running Snow Leopard) is away from home?
    Syncing would be good too if anyone knows a way around this problem.
    Thanks

    Spotify can sync a 4th gen shuffle on Tiger. You need to get the shuffle going on another ITunes 10 machine first and get spotify to do it's magic later.

  • Using Epson Perfection 2480 with Tiger and USB 2.0 Macs

    Actually I couldn't reply to an older post, since it was archived:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=959762
    So I tought to simply drop some info here about a few findings I had in the last few minutes.
    Downloading and installing driver version 2.65 cured this (avoid the newer 2.77 driver; Epson says 2.65 is for OS9, but I have it here running on a Intel Mac). This will install the Epson Monitor software. Now that's a first trick: make sure all accounts in the computer have that on the login items for that account, that has to start as soon as the computer starts. Install the older Epson software even if you plan to use your scanner with Vuescan or Image Capture, for example.
    After that, I still had the same problem here, but it was only on the machine with USB 2.0.
    Switching the scanner to the keyboard USB plug (1.1) solved the problem. Maybe an older hub could do the trick if you have, let's say, a wireless keyboard.
    Good luck,

  • Using Logitech QuickCam Messenger with Tiger/Classic 9...

    I just received this webcam from my daughter and found on installing the disk that it will only work with OS9....I have the Classic 9 installed on this Powerbook, but is this the same as OS9...as when I try to intall it in the Applications OS9 it will not proceed...is there another way to do this ?

    What sig says is good. However, sometimes Classic is not the same as being booted natively to OS9, which your computer is incapable of doing. I don't know about this camera but true OS9 items sometimes need access to the computer hardware and basic resources on a fundamental level. In Classic it is really OSX that is running the system and the interface to the basic features is not the same as when OS9 is running the show.
    Are you running the installer from inside Classic? If not, that might be a problem. Otherwise it is possible the installer is doing a check for which operating system is running the computer and finding it is not OS9. Workarounds might depend upon the sophistication of the installer. Sometimes an installer just copies files out of a folder and puts them where they belong. In that case you could just copy them out yourself. On the other end of the scale it may be a compressed archive package installer, in which case if you wish to experiment further you would have to find an OS9 computer, install on there, then copy the components out and copy them into the correct places on your OSX machine.

  • Belkin UPS

    ive been using a Belkin UPS for over a year under tiger with their Bulldog plus software,
    from what i can glean from the web it would seem Leopard breaks this software as my Mac Pro no longer sees the UPS via USB. Anyone else have the same issue?
    jas

    Wingrove,
    I have the same issue. I don't use the Bulldog software as it isn't support for Leopard but just the Mac power manangmement. It wouldn't recognize it. I tried it on machines a iMac G5 and a brand new intel iMac. I went out and bought an APC UPS and that shows up fine. I still use the Belkin but if it is an extended power outage it won't shut down by itself. At least it is there for brownouts etc.

  • Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge compatible with Tiger?

    Quick question for Dazzle users ... does the DV Bridge work with Tiger? I'm upgrading to a new iMac and I've read a couple of posts whereby some people have been unsuccessful in using the DV Bridge with Tiger.
    If any Dazzle users are currently ABLE to use the DV Bridge with iMovie 5 and/or Tiger, would you please respond to this post.
    Thanks for your time.
    Take care & happy holidays.

    Adam:
    About a year ago, when I was still on OS 10.3.x and QT 6.x, I started having a minor glitch with my Dazzle, in that it refused to recognize any device feeding through the Dazzle unless I also had a digital camcorder hooked up through a FW and turned on.
    This still happens intermittently (for no discernible reason), so I've learned to always have the camcorder connected so I can quickly turn it on if need be.

  • Can I use migration assistant from a mac with leopard to a mac with tiger?

    My old mac was upgraded to leopard, (don't ask me why), and I just got a new mac with tiger, although I ordered leopard up to date. Can I use migration assistant to move stuff from the old mac with leopard to the new mac with tiger, or do I have to wait until I get the copy of leopard? Plus, if I move files over now- like through email and/or network connection, and then when I get leopard and archive and install, what happens to my files?

    That is correct. You'll need either an ethernet cable or a firwire cable and a firewire to thunderbolt adapter to connect the two macs together. Here's info on Migration/Setup assistant

  • Can i use a belkin wireless g router with an iMac

    can i use a belkin wireless g router with an imac

    It will work. The wireless card in iMacs (recent ones) work with n, g, and b networks. The g protocol is slower (54 mbs) versus n (130 mbs up to 300 mbs). My employer has hundreds of such access points and has been updating them all to n, but there are still some g routers they haven't gotten to, and they work fine. 54 mbs is not bad, it's about 5 megabytes/sec roughly. Typical actual throughput is lower than these numbers by ~ 50%, so doing a large Mac OS update download of 300 Megabytes would take about ~ 2 minutes with a g router, and maybe a bit less than 1 minute with an n router.

  • Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad? Or is the iPad USB adapter the safest route to take when traveling with device?

    Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad?
    Or is it better to travel with the Wall Charger provided with iPad?
    Concerned about safety of the device. Thanks for your thoughts.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Using 10.6 NetBoot v1.0 with Tiger client images on PPC tray-loading iMacs

    Hi all - I'm a bit confused over some documentation I'm reading. I'm reviewing the "System Imaging and SW Update Admin" guide for Snow Leopard Server (available at http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/SystemImaging_and_SW_Update_Adminv10.6.pdf) and am puzzled on a few things.
    We have several older tray-loading iMacs that currently have client images served up from an old Xserve running OS X Server (Tiger). In the first part of the guide, I saw that the Snow Leopard System Image utility would not work for creating images from older PPC-based systems. However, later in the guide it refers to enable NetBoot 1.0 (which can run alongside NetBoot 2.0) for older clients - specifically including the tray-loading iMac.
    So my question is, how can I go about retiring the old Xserve and still serve/maintain these Tiger client images on Snow Leopard Server?
    Can I simply copy the images to the share point in the new Snow Leopard Server and enable NetBoot 1.0? Would I need to create a new image (using the Snow Leopard Server System Image Utility) that starts from a source Tiger installation disc and then add appropriate software as packages? Or can I simply use those existing images (with what I presume means software cannot be added) and serve them up on Snow Leopard Server?
    Basically, I have those tray-loading iMacs running a fairly minimal setup (base operating system, ability to join to our LDAP server, and very lightweight open source programs). As (if) they die, we are replacing them with newer Intel-based systems. Having said that, there are still at least 9 or so of these tray-loading iMacs quietly humming along with no indication of failure in the near future (nice job, Apple). It's not a problem if I cannot add software to the images (as it seems most software would require Leopard anyway) - but I would like to serve these up on the network. Any thoughts/ideas?

    You can copy your existing images to the 10.6 server, enable NetBoot 1.0, and they will be served up just fine. The only thing you would need 10.4 server for is to create new images.

  • 2 GB SD Card not working with Tiger

    I have a new 2 GB SD card. I used the card in my camera to take pictures without any problems. I can also put the card in my iPaq and view the photos there without any problem.
    When I try to copy the images to my Mac using a Belkin 15-in-1 reader, however, it doesn't work. When I put the card in the reader, Tiger tells me the card is not readable and asks if I want to format it.
    I went ahead and put the card back into my iPaq and copied the pictures to its internal memory, and then put it back into the card reader attached to the mac. This time when it asked if I wanted to format, with the images saved on the iPaq, I clicked Format. It just froze though.
    I pulled the card out, opened Disk Utility and tried to format it using that software, but again it just hangs.
    What's going on? Anyone got any advice?

    Hi Ho Lee MACkeral;
    I don't know about your problem with the SD chips and the card reader but I had a simular problem with CF cards and a card reader. I was using Lexar 512 MB CF cards and a Lexar card reader. When I upgraded to the newest 1 GB CF cards my card reader would no longer was able to read them. So I called Lexar. They told me to send in the old card reader and they replaced it with the new model for free. So it is possible that something changed with the newer SD cards so that the card reader is no longer able to read them. You might ask the vendor who made your card reader about this. My advantage I think was that everything was Lexar which made it easy.
