Sometimes things go right...lately I'm surprised when
they do! Today I copied the entire contents of a partition
on my G4/450 OS 9.2.2 system's internal HD to a 1GB
unused partition on my LaCie 30GB external Firewire HD.

My La Cie HD is refusing to mount. When I run Disk Utility it shows
up. Then I run repair and the error shown is "Invalid sibling link".
I have repaired permissions twice, powered everything down,
disconnected everything including the monitors, taken the plugs out

After several attempts to create a bootable ZIP 100
disk for use on my G4/450 AGP graphics system, and
having seen that the Startup Disk cp doesn't recognize
it as bootable no matter how I prepare it, I've come

According to the latest SANS Institute Top 20 Internet Security
Vulnerabilities report, Mac OS X is rapidly becoming a new source for
vulnerabilities.
SANS listed its top trend as the rapidly increasing vulnerabilities ­

I have Norton Utilities installed on my G3 iMac running OS 9.2.2 and
want to get rid of it before installing OS X. However, I can't delete
Norton Filesaver Extension, Norton Scheduler, and Norton Shared Lib from
the trash, because they contain items that are in use. I've tried

I can't get my Boston Acoustic speakers to work w/ my Powerbook G4
(titanium, black keys). Running Current version of OS X 10.4.* . I try
plugging speakers into the headphone jack and I get no sound at all.
Output works fine with headphones or with built in speakers, but they

Following suggestions made here, on my work Mac I was able to set the
launch app for when I plug in a camera. However, when I try this at home
(Mini 1.42, 10.4.6), that is I choose Preferences... from Image Capture,
no prefs pane is displayed. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone out there has used boot camp yet?
I'm itching to get my first mac (I've used them before, but never owned
one), and if boot camp can allow me to run windows just like a "real"
windows machine, I'm sold. I'm not too worried about each partition

Having recently been given an iMac g3 is it worth upgrading it or just
getting rid of it and starting with a new machine. It only has 64Mb
memory and 6Gb hard drive. Mac's are all a bit confusing as i have
always used pc's.....

Anyone having trouble with the Firefox browser in OSX?
I've tried re-installing but I still can't save images. When I right click
and select 'Save Image As', nothing happens.
It's been a bit unstable too recently, but I have to use something other

It seems HP isn't going to fix any of the problems with their drivers. With
the HP PSC-2175, I've been frustrated by the inability to print from Safari
or Preview since upgrading to Tiger last year. The only way I could get PDFs
to print was to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. Now, ...

I got a PB G4 in oct more or less (the DDR2 version) and immediately got
a gig of memory for it.  Recently with a few bucks in our fiscal year
budget left I got another gig.  And now I'm having system problems:  
kernel panic, system freezes up at random times...

Probably an easy question. But as a new mac user, this is the first
thing I can't figure out. I have a 20" Intel Imac, and a Windows
network at home, I want to be able to share a folder on an external
drive to the windows computers. I have turned on windows file sharing,

I'm running the default installation of Postfix that came with Mac OS X
10.4.6 on my Mac Mini, but I'm having a problem getting it to receive
SMTP connections from outside the localhost.
I can send mail between users on the same machine, and I can send mail

recently switched from windows.
My windows email application was Free Agent and my address book, by my
choice, contained only email addys - no other info such as names, etc.
I have this list on my iMacG5 both as an Appleworks wp file and as a
