Hi, please direct me to a more appropriate newsgroup if this question is
not appropriate here.
I'm looking for someone to help me trace the part of OS X 10.4 that kills
sound outputting from one user account when fast-user-switching to

I have a G4 AGPGraphics and was having problems with my computer
booting up in firmware. I finally replaced the motherboard a couple of
weeks ago. The computer checked out fine at the shop but when I hooked
it back up at home it booted back into firmware. I discovered that if I

Hi, I have a Mac Mini G4, OSX 10.3.9, and I found the HZ is set to 100:
 MacMini:~ root# sysctl  kern.clockrate
 kern.clockrate: hz = 100, tick = 10000, profhz = 100, stathz = 100
Now I want to adjust HZ to 1000, to get faster responsivity in my apps.

I am scanning some text files using TWAIN capability from Graphic Converter.
Presumably, they are being saved as JPEG files using Graphic Converter. I
also name the files with a jpg extension. I attach them, sometimes several

I have partitioned my hard disk into 4 partitions. Three for yellow dog
linux and one for Mac OS X. Whenever I use disk utility to verify the Mac
OS X partition, the computer hangs and I have to reboot it. Any solution?
Thanks,

OK...Ive read some of the newsgroups postings but I admit Im pretty
slow.  Just got my Imac in January and have never used apple in my life
before this.  A neophyte, so be kind.  Here is my problem:
I downloaded Realplayer 10 for OS x but i can not get it to work.  I

Now that there is a known virus or worm for OSX, what's being done about it

I've been trying to run a VNC server on a Mac Mini with no monitor
(i.e., a "headless" Mac).  So far, only failure under Tiger 10.4.5:

If running Repair Permissions several times in a row keeps showing the
same list of files whose Permissions were "repaired", is anything to be
done? Most of the files listed don't get used, and a bunch of them were
related to widgets. [Updated Tiger on dual 1.8 Mhz G-5]

Can I use a AHA 2930CU MAC on a G4 733 MHz?
The G4 hangs when the external SCSI disk is ON and I try to boot.

  I've got an external hard drive (USB 1) that I borrowed from a friend
who uses with his PC.   I'm able to copy files from it, but when I try
to copy to it, it says 'this drive can not be modified' or something
similar.

The subject just about says it all.  I can get 10.4 to display the Day
of the Week and the Time but cannot get it to display the date in the
menu bar.  Yes, I know you can mouse on the display and it will show the
date but I would like to show the Date and Time in the menu bar.

I'm trying to change the port sshd listens on.  I tried the normal
change in /etc/sshd_config, but it won't take effect, even after a
reboot.  Has anyone else managed to do this?
