I like to split a 16.3gig file into 4.3 gig segments.  I tired the mac
os split command but it didn't work.  I read it has a max segment size
of 2gig.
Any suggestions for a splitter that supports 4.3gig segments.

Hi.  I bought a Mini last month.  My first question is how to call
Apple, since I'm apparently still entitled to complimentary telephone
support.  The number, though, seems to be secret.  It's not on the
warranty.  Is there somewhere I should look?

I have to add my newly installed fonts into the fontpath of my
x server (X11). I do this by
xset fp+ <folder>
xset fp rehash

Thirty years ago Steve Jobs was in the right place at the right time.
What is the right place today.. what's the next big thing?

I bought a six years-old iMac G3 600MHz [1] because I wanted a small,
self-contained computer in my bedroom to be able to check the news in
the morning with. I'd like to buy a small, table that is just large
enough for the iMac, keyboard, and mouse, and is on wheels or casters

due to a recent problem*, I'm wondering if there exists
a default system language, namely the keyboard
layout at login screen. If so how can I change it.
Regards,

Is it possible to install a 1.4 super floppy drive in a Mac G3  or G4
internally. Is so are there any special connections that have to be
made? Thanks

When I try to shut down (or restart) my Power Mac 6500/250 I get a
system error that says " Finder error 41" and a restart button.  The
only way I can shut down is to pull the power.
Does anyone know what I did and how I can fix it?

I somehow managed to delete my entire keychain list from my startup
drive containing all my family's internet logins and passwords.
Fortunately, I have a bootable mirrored drive in my G5 powermac (10.4.8)
which, when I startup from it, still has the keychain list intact. My

I am using OS X 10.3.9. For some reason, the "clear" command on X11 xterm
has stopped working. It throws up the following message:
dyld: clear Undefined symbols:

The facts as I understand them.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have a Mac Mini (PPC) and recently purchased a WD My Book to do some
backups.  I was also hoping to use it as a way to transfer or use media
files (photos, mp3, movies) from a Windows PC as well.  I created 2

I'm having trouble using X11 softwares remotely using my macbook.
In my /etc/ssh_config I have already set:
ForwardX11 yes
but it still doesn't work.

I'm not even sure if this has anything to do with OS X or is strictly
the hardware capabilities of the video card.  I use a 1.25ghz Mini
with 1gb ram that uses 32mb onboard for the video. My LCD 1280 x 1024
monitor @ 75hz looks great in landscape.  But in portrait mode, where

I have Tiger 2.0.3 and Mac osx 10.4.6. I am trying to login to an
existing AIM account.
It keeps timing out.
I can login to AIM using my PC with Internet Explorer.

I've had this problem before where I can't put the Mac to sleep but it
seemed to correct itself by running Disk Utilities but now that
dosen't even help.
I've got a G4 Tower running the latest OS.
