What type of powerbook is mine?

I see people refer to laptop as wallstreet etc...
I have the 400mhz/64MB/6GB/DVD with a bronze keyboard.
Is this a certain type or just a basic G3?
I bought i brand new in 99 and only have been using it for internet so 9.2.2 has been ok for me this long. I have many other computers but thought about upgrading this to OS X. Before I purchase one I want to make sure it will support one of the version, panther,jaguar, or tiger.
I know I need to upgrade the ram. I was wondering if there is any difference in the RAM used in a MAC. Can I order any PC133 sodimm sdram? I know it will only take 384 MB maxed out and I plan on ordering a 256mb to add to my current 64 this way I don't have to access the "apple tech only slot."
Thanks for any help

Clark,
I think you should wait on ordering any parts until you are sure the Lombard runs. I know you are waiting for the power adapter but you possibly may have some other hardware failure.
Once you have determined the powerbook is sound, and you are certain you want to run OSX, this will be your memory situation:
- The Lombard came configured with a 64MB memory module from the factory, and it is installed in the lower slot, the so-called 'Apple tech slot'.
- •IF• you have a Lombard that cannot run any memory in the top slot with OSX, you will want to install a low-profile 256MB module in the lower slot after removing your 64MB module. This will be the maximum amount of memory you can run.
- If in fact your Lombard does not have the suspect CPU, you can just leave the 64MB module in the lower slot and buy a standard-height 256MB for the top slot for a total of 320MB.
However, I would recommend this: Spend the additional $10 for the low-profile 256; it can be used in either slot. In addition, I cannot guarantee that the version number of the "bad" CPU that PPC Checker reports is the only CPU that has a problem with OSX, but that is the number most commonly associated with this problem. If you left the 64MB in the lower slot and put a standard-height 256MB in the top slot, you would not be able to move the 256MB to the lower slot if you had trouble with OSX. Buying the low-profile is kind of an insurance for all contingencies.
It is, however, quite easy to remove the microprocessor card to access the lower slot. Here is a photo guide:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/31.0.0.html
The above guide includes removing additional parts but it is describing a full disassembly of the Lombard. All you need to do is lay the keyboard face down on the palm rest, remove the heat shield, then lift out the card...lower memory slot is on the underside of the card.
I would also read this Apple PDF for replacing memory in the lower slot of the Powerbook (FireWire). There is no PDF for your Lombard, but these two 'books are sisters with only minor differences.

No. Your iMac only has DVI video connection. You would need an iMac with Thunderbolt.

What type of hard drive replacement should i use to replace the hard drive in my first generation mac min 2005 model a 1103?

what type of hard drive replacement should I use to replace the hard drive on my first generation mac mini model a 1103? G4 1.25 mhz 40 gb hd 1 gb. mem.

You'll need a 2.5" parallel ATA interface hard drive. Most are 5400RPM, forget 7200RPM drives and slower 4200rpm drives. You don't want a serial ATA (SATA) drive, as that has a different connector and won't work.
One source I've used for drives is Newegg, and their parallel ATA hard drives are at http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007605%2060000344 2&IsNodeId=1&name=IDE%20Ultra%20ATA100%20%2f%20ATA-6 . Newegg also has many user comments about the drives. Other sources are OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ (Click on ATA on the left) . Look for at least a 3 year warranty.

What type of vga cord should i use?

I just purchased a mac mini and it is on its way. I have a 22'' memorex lcd tv and it has a VGA plug in. What type of vga cord should i use? Theres male to male and theres male to female. Which cord should i use and does any1 know a site i can order it off of?
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i just did a quick google search for for dvi to vga cables, without the use of an adapter...
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dvito+vga+cable-adapter&btnG=Search
the first site that came up...
http://www.datapro.net/products/1145.html
these cables would allow you to hook up the monitor without using the adapter... would just save a little bit of space if depth is at all an issue, or the visibility of the cable sticking out that far back.

What audio suppored by Mac Mini 5.1, 6.1, DTS or dolby ?

Hi,
Do you know what type of audio does Mac Mini (previous to early 2009) support ?
- 5.1 I guess Yes
- 6.1 ? didin't find any comment on this norm
and DTS or Dolby
Many thanks
HDR

To the best of my knowledge, the sound is only 5.1 Dolby. One thing to remember though is that most audio source media is still going to be stereo only. The surround sound capability is only really going to matter for sources like DVDs.

Both machines have USB 1.1 ports built-in. No Power Mac G4 or Titanium PowerBook comes with built-in USB 2.0 ports; there are expansion cards which will add USB 2.0 ports to some machines.

What's a great, affordable Mini-DV camcorder to buy for Final Cut?

I just got a MacBook Pro and Final Cut Express. What's a great Mini-DV camcorder to buy if I was to get my feet wet with video editing? I've just graduated from film school, looking to make short films and short documentaries. Does anyone know what a good entry level camera would be and what type of equipment I'd need? Thank you so much, I'm on my own in this so any help I could get would be great!

hey there RohanRuin, welcome to Discussions!
what you get should be determined by your needs/project & your budget... if you just completed film school don't you have some idea of the features & capabilities of cameras & other tools necessary to shoot clean usable footage. anyway.... any prosumer Sony, Panasonic or Canon will be a good buy as they have manual controls as well as automatic, they also have features being left out on lo-$$ consumer cams, such as mic in, headphones out, analog to digital conversion. JVC & Canon HDV cams have interchangeable lenses.
a solid tripod that works w/ your cam(size & weight), lights & stands-will it be "guerilla" lighting that you cobble together from your local Home Depot, or will you buy Lowell instruments in a 3-5 piece kit? ....softboxes? you'll need/acquire all sorts of stuff as you progress in your career. i still have/use a few of the reflector shop lights i got when i began 25 years ago to shoot small projects 'cause that's what i could spend. also think about some sort of external mic-ing so as not to record cam noise. there's more but i think you need to assess your needs & budget first.
i use Sony mini DV & HDV cams, & depending on the project, a compact audio mixer, Shure & CAD mics. iighting instruments w/ barndoors & gels, foamcore reflectors, a couple of battery-powered on cam lights. a cheap lav that works for interviews,... get the most cam that you can (3-chip over one-chip) so you can continue to use it for a few years, a good lav mic if you'll need it or a good stick mic, boom & stand, maybe a couple of halogen shoplights are my starter suggestions.
good luck.

What type of video camera do people use to edit professionally these days?

I use to own a Mini DVC camcorder that I would edit video with in Final Cut Pro. Now since my Mini DVC camcorder broke I'm shopping for a new video camera but found myself really confused on what I need to buy for a good professional video camera at this point. It seems like DVC camcorders have been turned obsolete and now my options is a camcorder with a hard drive or a sd card in it, unless there are other options I'm not seeing at the local best buy.
I'm a little hesitant with the SD and hard drive cameras just for the fact that I would think they would be compression the video when saving it to these new formats, and I also don't know what compression scheme there using. With a DVC all I had to do is shoot the video and then hook it up to my computer via firewire and capture it, this would allow me to compress the video while I was capturing it.
With these new cameras I have no clue on what compression scheme they use and if there even a good option for good professional video editing. I'm not looking to spend to much money, I was hoping I could get something between $200 - $400 tops, but I wouldn't spend this type of money till someone gave me a little advice on what format is right to use with computer video editing these days.
Any advice or recommendations would be very appreciated. If the price is right I would take standard definition (just for the fact that my Mac is a G4 and I don't really think it can do HD video that well), but if I could have an option to later shoot in HD that would be very helpful to.

With a DVC all I had to do is shoot the video and then hook it up to my computer via firewire and capture it, this would allow me to compress the video while I was capturing it.
DV video, recorded onto DVC (Digital Video Cassette) tapes, would NOT be compressed during capture. DV, DVCam and DVCPro (all varieties of the DV25 codec) is compressed 5:1 when recorded to tape. When you capture, all that happens is a straight digital transfer of 1s and 0s from the tape to your computer. No further compression was taking place.
What type of video camera do people use to edit professionally these days?
All types. Everything from Flip cameras to HDCam SR.
I'm a little hesitant with the SD and hard drive cameras just for the fact that I would think they would be compression the video when saving it to these new formats
You'd better get over that ... tape-based recording is going the way of the audio cassette.
I also don't know what compression scheme there using
Now you've hit upon what I consider to be the main problem with non-tape cameras; many manufacturers have taken to using codecs that were originally designed for final delivery, like H.264. So they need to be converted to an editable format PRIOR to editing. That's probably the reason that Apple developed the ProRes family of codecs. It's definitely a change in workflow. The other real issue I have with non-tape recording is the lack of a decent archive method. With tape you had a built-in archive medium; the tape itself. But with the new card-based recording, your archive options are limited and more expensive than tape.
If the price is right
And what price would that be? What's your budget?

Hi,
The following link shows full specs of your machine:

The CPU (processor) is an "AMD Fusion E300 (Zacate) Dual Core processor soldered down on the motherboard" that means if you wish to change the processor you have to change the motherboard.

What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

Hey Forum,
I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
But that is the exception that makes the rule.
SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

What type of Vista for Qosmia G30-194

What type of Vista you advise to by installed on a G30-194: x86 or x64, because both works with this type of processor

I agree with snipe. Who knows when the drivers for x64 will be available. It will be available one day but probably not in next few months.

What is the next step after editing or triming a video ? What type of file format to save and what to do after that ?

what is the next step after editing or triming a video?
what type of file format should be save and what to do after that?

In the early days of digital video editing, an export render could take hours! Not many applications are as hard on system resources as video editing, and rendering the final edit is probably the most system intense action of all.
Head on over to the Premiere Pro Hardware forum to see what sort of computer hardware the pros use for NLE (non linear editing), or to the PPBM5 site for a better look.

What type of wireless router is the 1st generation time capsule? Is it B, G or N. I'm trying to understand why our wifi signal is a bit erratic. Paul

what type of wireless router is the 1st generation time capsule? Is it B, G or N? I'm trying to establish whether its causing signal degradation as a result of conflicts with my BT Home Hub router.

The 1st generation Time Capsule is an 802.11"n" wireless router, but in default settings it produces a signal that is also compatible with "g" and "b" wireless devices.
If your HomeHub is in close proximity to the Time Capsule and it is also producing a wireless network, either the wireless on the HomeHub or the TIme Capsule should be be disabled to minimize the chances of wireless interference.
Interference may also be coming from any cordless phones you may have, or another nearby wireless network as well.
