Yes, it’s been a while since I have posted. At the beginning of June, I embarked on my first sabbatical experience, so I’ve been away from G5, out of the country, vacationing, and whatever. I’ll be returning to normalcy soon, so in the meanwhile, here are some things from my glorious readers.
Alex from Italy asks about trackballs compatible with the G5 – I figure trackballs are old enough that it is plug and play, but maybe not?
I asked if you know a list of TRACKBALL compatible with G5. On the Mac Pro Intel, I have the Kensington Expert Mouse, I think it’s the top but I can not find the driver to run it with G5 …. Good Logitech too!
Peter asks about two step verification and Mail.app in Leopard:
I’m sure that i’m not alone with this issue, but since July I have not been able to access my iCloud mail account using Mail 3.6 on my G5 (OS 10.5.8) or Mail 4.6 on a Mac Book Pro (OS 10.6.8). I can still access iCloud using a web browser (TenFourFox on the G5) but this is not as convenient as having a Mail client running in the background, as it has been doing more many years. I have tried setting up the 2 Step Verification (on an iPad with iOS 10), but despite going through the motions, still get a password not applicable message on the G5. I have also tried using other mail apps, but get the same results. Does this mean that we can no longer use a G5 (or similar) for iCloud mail (except via a web browser) or is there a solution out there?
If you have any suggestions, post here in the comment section.
Now for something completely different, Myles Crawford wrote me with a writeup of his exploration of getting AdonisJS working on a Power Mac. It requires Linux and some workarounds, but I was very impressed by his work. Check it out, complete with screenshots.
