Using Powerbook G4 in Mexico

hi all...
taking the Powerbook to Mexico and was wondering whether or not i need to buy a power adaptor for their outlets. Anyone have that information?
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

You will probably run in to the typical North American power plug, possibly the two prong type.
Here's a web site with more info:

The message function on my Ipad just quit working. I was using it while in Mexico and it just quit. I have come home and synced my Ipad with Itunes and function still does not work. How do I get this function to work again?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Just got hold of a used Powerbook 15" notebook and need advices

Hello all and my first time in here
I'm an Engineer by trade and I know pretty much everything to do with Windows, Unix and Linux. Now, I like to get under the hood and get my hands dirty with Apple.
I just got hold of a used Powerbook 15" 550 MHz with 512MB and the version on it is 10.1.1. I know that the last FREE upgrade is version 10.1.5.
I like to install Jaguar version 10.2 and I know I can go either by upgrade or full install.
Is there a great step-by-step tutorial, visual guide on how to reset (format), install the OS and etc? You know... the basics.
Thanks in advance.

Using Powerbook screen as 2nd monitor

Does anyone know if it's possible to hook up a Powerbook to a desktop G5 to use the Powerbook's monitor as a 2nd display for the G5?

Nope. Can't do it.

Using powerbook for "airtunes".... sort of.

Hi.
I have mac mini hooked up to home stereo.
In another area of house, I have powerbook hooked up to other speakers.
I'd like to listen to the same iTune/audiobook/CD in multiple rooms as I move from room to room.
Essentially, I want to use the powerbook (and speakers hooked to it) as an airport express "airtunes" set up.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for input and ideas.
R

Yes. You'll have to purchase an "airport express" unit. You won't be able to use the Powerbook as a substitute. Also, you'll need the latest version of Airport installed on your machine - v 6.3, which allows use of multiple speakers (available through Software Update once the base station is installed).
I have this configuration set up in my home, and it works really well - no drop offs/great sound.

Help using powerbook as wireless adapter for Xbox 360

Ok I need help partially opening my NAT. I have a Linksys WRT54G. And I play on Xbox Live a lot. The other day I moved the xbox into my living room where our new tv is and then I hooked my G4 Powerbook up to the xbox and did internet sharing because I have no internet connection in there besides wireless. Whenever I use a wired connection on the xbox is says my NAT is open. But whenever I use my laptop it says my NAT is Moderate, and it makes it hard to get into any games. I don't want to chip out the money for a $100 microsoft adapter because I will rarely play xbox in their. So how do I go about opening up the NAT the rest of the way.
http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/zanswers/61 there is how I did it, but I setup the xbox with a static IP
On my router I have ports 88 and 3074 open which make the NAT open on wired connection. So I am thinking I may need to open those ports on the laptop itself? I am not sure if I can open ports on the laptop for outgoing connections.
Thanks for the help!

A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

I recently bought a used PowerBook G4. Which drive, larger than 80GB, will it accept?

According to the seller, its 1.33GHz logic board died recently and was replaced with a faster 1.5GHz board. Along the way, its 60GB hard drive was replaced with a 40GB drive, which has Leopard 10.5.8. Its model number is A1095.
This "new" PowerBook was meant to replace an older, slower one with an 80GB drive. While this "new" machine has certain defects, some of which can be corrected relatively easily, I would definitely like to upgrade its hard drive to something larger than 80GB; what larger size drive would be supported by this architecture?
Another question I have is the maximum RAM to which I can upgrade. The lower slot is dead, with the upper one occupied by a 1GB DDR SDRAM memory module. Assuming there is no way to "restore" this lower slot to operational status, how big a memory module could I use in the remaining slot, to help improve performance?
Thank you for your time.

Allan, thank you for your response.
Permit me to share some background, which I couldn't do because of a character limit in the details section of the question.
As much as I would love to buy Apple's latest MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles, I cannot do so at this time, as I do not have the wherewithal. Thus, I'm stuck buying used machines that still work.
That being said, my question regarding larger hard drives was to permit me to use this newer machine to replace the one I currently use, which plods along at 667 MHz with an 80GB hard drive. However, the biggest stumbling block is the hard drive, which has HALF the capacity of my current machine. Therefore, I want to replace it with a larger-capacity drive, so I don't get the ""Your startup disk is almost full" message, which I've encountered too often. The larger replacement drive doesn't have to be faster than the 80GB drive in the other machine, just roomier.
This "new" PowerBook - on which I'm writing this reply - is meant to replace the current machine. I don't do graphics-intensive work on it, or gaming, so it doesn't need to go to Warp 8. All i want is for it to function as it should, for my online activities and spreadsheet and word processing activities.

Using my android in Mexico without incurring roaming charges, etc.?

I want to know if I can turn off settings to be able to use my phone for pictures and using the hotels wifi and not incurring roaming charges on my phone while in Mexico.

Turn on Airplane mode and leave it there. You can turn on wifi after the phone is in Airplane Mode.

Using My Phone In Mexico

I have the Samsung Galaxy S III 16G and am going to Mexico in a couple of weeks. Just curious how much it would cost per MB or GB. For example, if I wanted to JUST upload a picture on Instagram and do nothing else how much would that cost with roaming and everything.

It is free. It uses the internet. I guess unless you are using free internet someone has to pay for the internet service but other than that it is free yes

Using my iPad in Mexico

My understanding is that I can use the iPad 2 in Mexico by getting a Global Plan with my carrier, Verizon. Do I need the same for the new iPad or do I need to get a sim card for Mexico to make it work? I'm new to the iPad (making a purchase next week) but we plan to use it as a computer for remote access to our business computer back at home. Thank you!

No, you need a SIM. Unlocked just means it works on any carrier. I don't know anything about Mexican carriers, but Google should give you more information.

Using droid bionic in Mexico

Can droid bionic be used offline in Mexico to access stored app such as translator in Mexico?

Yes, as long as the app itsself does not require a data connection. Your best option would be to put your phone into airplane mode, turning off all cellular radios, and making sure you do not get any roaming charges. While in airplane mode, WiFi can still be turned on and off if you wish to connect that way. This will not use any of your data allowance.

WHAT TO DO WITH USED POWERBOOK G4

Hello-
I am very new to these forums, so I apologize if this is not the appropriate place to post this. If it is not and you can suggest where to do so, I would appreciate it. But I'll give it a shot.
I have a Powerbook G4 that is about 4 years old and I would like to sell it. I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to where the best place may be to do this, whether it's via the internet, an Apple store or even someplace where I live, in NYC. Thanks.

Hi, leegero. I strongly recommend

Using powerbooks abroad

For the last two months I have been using my PB on an ungrounded socket. I guess this explained the mysterious vibration running through the hood when it was plugged in.
According to the repair shop in New Delhi is was because of this that the adapter shorted out.
Could some one with experience using their PB in India or Europe give some advise on what sorts of devices one could buy to protect against this kind of thing? Are there devices one can buy to create a ground?
I used Apple's Int. two prong adapter, but I guess this wasn't enough. Also, when I borrowed a friend's adapter, hers was also shorted out.

jamead is absolutely correct. You can use you BlackBerry in wi-fi and will be able to use BBM, email, twitter and browse without incurring any additional cost.
Enjoy your BlackBerry abroad...

Using powerbook abroad?????

I will have to use my powerbook abroad where the voltage is 220V and 50hz. wanted to know if the powerbook has an inbuilt converter and if i wud need any kind of adapter? Also, if the world travel kit available int he apple store worth the purchase.
Thanks
Rekha

The PowerBook (like the iBook) has all the needed adapters built right into it. In other words it will work anywhere on earth IF you get the right plug adapter so it will fit in the wall.
As for the World Traveler kit I can't say.
GOD Bless and Good Luck
