Using uk powerbook in usa

I'm off to the USA and want to take my UK powerbook G4. Do I need some sort of power/current adapter aswell as the standard socket adapter to use it safely?

The Apple chargers are 100-240 volts at 50-60 Hz so not a problem from that point, but you will need a plug adapter to work with the US outlets...can usually get those at international airports or gadget suppliers.

Can I use my Powerbook 12" without the internal HD?

Hi everybody!
I have a Hard Drive (160GB, Samsung) in my Powerbook12", that's about to fail. I bought it less than a year ago, so I can get a new one for free, except that I have to pay for, or do, the extraction from the computer. As some time may elapse before they send me the replacement drive that I will install, I wondered if I would be able to temporarily use my Powerbook, booting from an external firewire hard drive, but with no internal hard drive. Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your answer. In fact, I was wondering if the physical absence of the internal HD might be a problem when reassembling the computer to use it, this led me to the idea of installing the old initial internal drive, which I was given back when my present hard drive was installed. Does this make any sense?
Or can I really reassemble my computer leaving the hard drive bracket empty, and make it work?
More generally, are there other options for upgrading a 12" 1.33 GHz Powerbook, apart from increasing the hard drive size and RPM?

My iPhone 5s was bought with full price in the USA from Sprint, and I was told that it is a global phone. And I can use it in china. But I can not use it in the USA, so could you mind help me to solve that problem. I think someone of you must help me to

Yes, the iPhone 5S is a global phone. However, Sprint will only unlock phones for use on GSM networks outside of the U.S. In the U.S., that phone can only be used on Sprint's network.

I'm suddenly unable to join my Airport network with my PowerBook G4. I am able to access my network with all of my other devices. How can I once again establish access using my PowerBook G4.

Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
Bruce's instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
- delete any previously set up printers
- scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
- remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
- reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
- print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
- got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
- go to the sys pref > print scan
- add the HP 8000 printer
- click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
- click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
- finish (this page may freeze up. close the browser)
- go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
- go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x). Check that the SSID is your network
- go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
- try printing something to your printer. It might take a little time the first print.

Any USB adaptor other than PCMCIA can be used in Powerbook G3?

Hi all,
Any USB adaptor other than PCMCIA can be used in Powerbook G3 (as no USB)?
My powerbook G3 is installed with MacOSX 10.2 and i want to access my portable Hard Disk (format under windows platform) . . . is that possible to access like "plug and play" using USB adaptor ?
Many thanks.

white_tiger,
You can use both FireWire and USB CardBus PC cards. CardBus supports both 32-bit and the older PCMCIA 16-bit protocols.
A FireWire PC card is natively supported in all versions of OSX...no drivers to install.
USB 1.1/2.0 PC cards are also natively supported but it gets a little more complicated:
- The older USB 1.1 cards work fine under all versions of OSX.
- The newer USB 2.0 cards also work under all versions of OSX with this caveat: Apple added USB 2.0 support to OSX 10.2.8 and later; if your USB 2.0 card does not have the NEC-based USB2 chipset and you are running 10.2.8 or later, the card will not work properly. USB 2.0 PC cards with the wrong chipset, however, will work properly with OSX up through 10.2.7 but at the slower 1.1 speeds..
A few other points:
- PC cards supply only a minimal amount of bus power, so if you want to connect a portable FW or USB HD, it will need its own power supply.
- A Mac can only read/write to Fat and Fat32 drives; OSX 10.3 and 10.4 can see an NTFS drive but as read-only.

Using my powerbook as an external DVD Player

Okay. So my Sony DVD player crapped out on me last night. The one I use with my TV. I just plug it into my component stereo system for 5.1 surround.
I was wondering... is there a way to use my powerbook as a dvd player until I buy a replacement for my sony?
I have a box that converts FW to Analog (ie red, yellow, white). Is there a setting in my dvd player that will out put the DVD playback to FW or something?
many thanks!

There are adapters you can buy. Browse the Apple store. Its a video adapter that outputs Composite video and S video. Also, you can buy a cable that plugs into the headphone jack and gives you a Left and Right stereo plug.
Hope this helps!

If I buy an I Pad 2 AT&T version 3G and I want to use it outside of USA using a different carrier SIM card is it going to work internationally.

Yes
Provide you can buy pre-payed GSM micr-sim cards in the domain to which you are travelling.
IF you can't then your either going to pay ATT huge amounts for international roaming or will have to find a free/low cost or public open WiFi hotspot.

Using a Powerbook and a Sony PC laptop

I use a Powerbook, and I don't have a problem with Airport Express. My question is, my son has a Sony PC laptop and I was wondering whether it is possible to use the Airport Express to provide wireless coverage for the both computers at the one time. If it is possible, how do I do it?
Thanking you
rr
(PS My son prefers to use an Apple but the Sony is provided by his company)

Wireless network provided by Airport Express does not discriminate against PC like it should. You need to find the network from PC and log on using password for that network.

Using a PowerBook on a cruise ship

Hi everyone,
I'm currently on board Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas and frustrated because I can't use my PowerBook to connect to its WIFI service. I've found other frustrated PowerBook and iBook owners with the same problem and the help desk keeps saying the network is only for computers running Windows.
I know from reading cruise-related message boards that other Mac users have been able to use the WIFI service. I'm hoping there is someone on here who has had success doing that and can post the network configuration, if they can remember.
Thanks in advance!

What are the instructions for windows users? we can
start there and see if we can talk you through the
set-up. There aren't windows only networks.. just ill
informed network techs
You also might want to try the airport forums:

Don't let this ruin your vacation.. go out and get
some sun for those of us here at work
Thanks, Sandman, for the quick response but my Internet minutes ran out shortly after my post. I'm back on shore now and had a great cruise despite the inability to get my PowerBook connected.
There were no instructions for getting online... they said launching a browser would automatically connect you to their WIFI service and you just had to log in.
It was very frustrating for myself and two iBook owners who specifically brought our laptops after reading from other cruise-ship passengers who reported successfully they were able to use their Macs on board.
The ship's IT staff repeated their system only supports Windows -- which is a crock, as you suggested -- and wouldn't even try to help out a Mac user. One fellow cruise passenger said the IT guy she spoke to had a look of horror on his face when "Mac" was brought into the conversation.
No doubt Royal Caribbean does not wish to support Mac computers and therefore tells people plainly that their system does not work with Macs. It's ironic that its corporate web site is designed to work with Safari.
Myself and the other Mac users that were on board plan to write letters/e-mail and complain about the lack of support for Mac users.
Thanks again for your reply. I didn't even think to post my question on the Airport forum, which would've been more appropriate.
Cheers!

None of the powerbooks came with a MagSafe adapter. It was introduced with the MacBook and MacBook Pro. Are you sure it is a powerbook adapter? Here are all the adapters and models used on.

Help w/ used g3 powerbook

I recently purchased a used g3 powerbook as a Christmas gift for my 9 year old. It is running OS 9. I want to know if there is an easy way to restore it? I use a G4 powerbook but bought it as a first time Mac user and don't know much about it, just opened it and it worked! I know that on a PC there is a restore CD, anything like that for Mac? Also would like to know options for wi fi. Thanks for any help anyone can give!

Hi Michael
In my opinion, you should by OSX and put as much ram memory as you can afford now. After that, use the OSX installation disk to complete erase the HD (there is an option to do so on installation process). Then you will begin from scratch.
If you decide not to buy OSX, insert the OS9 disk, reboot from CD (hold C key during restart), look for disk utilities / drive setup. this program will help you reformat your HD. After that, you should install OS9.
I would recommend one of these 2 ways to start your computer from scratch.
Congratulations on your new mac.

When I create a new address in Contacts the country is automatically coming in as Netherlands - though I'm using the phone in USA. Can't find how to change country default.
