When I installed Parallels on my Mac Mini I gave it 8gb of disc. It
eventually began to complain that there wasn't enough free space. No
problem, I thought, the disc is supposed to expand, so I ran the tool
supplied and put the disc space up to 12gb.

I have the following issue.
I previously used MacOS X on a G4 Cube (since 2001, up to 2005). The latest version there was 10.3.9.
Then it broke down and only recently I bought a macmini based on intel.
The earliest MacOS I can install on it is 10.4.1, I currently have 10.4.8.

I'm on an iMac 2.1ghz G5.  OS X 10.4.8  
I've got a Maxtor 250gb firewire/USB drive that has always functioned
flawlessly (using it via FW).  Today it disappeared after a restart to
install a replacement [faulty] RAM module (probably no connection other

We have an Apple LaserWriter Pro 630 Printer connected to our home
network via an Asanté Friendlynet adapter.  A Cat5 cable attaches this
to a hub, which in turn, is connected to our Airport (Original
[802.11b], Graphite).  This, of course, sets up the printer as an

Where I work, my MacbookPro finds a network listed under
"Computer-to-Computer Networks" called "Free Public WiFi."  I'm told
that this is just a nearby connection that we can use.  My Mac tells me
that I'm connected, but I don't know how to make use of this.  I don't

I have an iPod Shuffle & a new Nano.  I installed and use the Shuffle
with no problems.  Last night, I hooked up the Nano.  My Dell sees the
Nano at first, but then it gives me an error message that the "G:\
drive is not available"... this is the Nano's drive.  Furthermore, the

I joined this group as a longtime Mac user. I have lots of e-mail I'd
like to recover from an old PowerBook - no USB, CD burner, only a
floppy drive.
How can I transfer lots of e-mail from that machine onto an iBook G3?

I'm trying to set up a Mac OSX Server 10.3 for filesharing purposes. It
is a member of our Windows domain. Users log in with their Windows
username. SMB file sharing is on, AFP is off.
This works from both Macs and PCs: smb://server.ip/sharename

i just bought a macbook a month ago and wanted to make sure mine aint
heating up.  I'm getting a temp of between 40-60 degrees.... is this
normal?

Same old question looking for a new answer.  Has anyone new come up with
decent repartitioning software which doesn't necessarily require a
reinstall of all data?  I tried one a year or so ago, Prosoft's Drive
Genius, and wasn't happy with the results, so I'm looking for a new

I have an entry in /etc/crontab that _starts_ with 0/5
All other fields before command are *

We have our music collection on an external hard drive. Our dream setup
would be to play it on our stereo while controlling it *wirelessly* from
our MBPs. We already have an AirPort Express (with AirTunes), so there
are no cables from the computer to the stereo, but a physical ...

I have been having some serious problems with my Mac lately which have
indicated a possible malware infection. I recently "rebuilt" my system
(in other words, re-installed the OS and such), then tried to create a
disk image of my entire hard drive so I wouldn't have to download the

I want to install one version of windows on my mac using boot camp. Can
I then use that same installations with parallels, or do I have to
install a separate version to use with parallels?
