IE.  On my mac I don't get this, I just get a message saying

I have an iMac with both OS 9.2 and OS X installed.  I do not have the
passowrd for the 9.2 system however I can boot using the X.  Is there
a way that I can reset/remove the 9.2 password while logged into the

Is anyone having this bug in Mail.app on the latest 10.4...?
Basically I can read a message, and then if I go away from the mailbox
(POP3, by the way) and come back to it, the message will often be

When I first started using iTunes I got tired of all the "Are you
sure?" warning when I tried to delete stuff, and so I checked the
"stop bothering me" option in the dialogue box. Since then I've

Black Macbook, 2Gb version. It's my first Mac.
The first machine developed a random shutdown problem and was replaced
after 1 month. The replacement is now less than 1 month old and the
optical drive has died. I'm going back to the Apple store where I

Not too long ago reading and participating in this newsgroup was interesting

no interest in anything except mindlessly stirring things up and insulting

I have an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.10 and a beige G3 running OS 9.2.2. I
like the way I have the OS set up on the desktop and want to know if I
can replace the Classic System Folder (the one from the install discs)
with the System Folder from the G3? If so, can I just copy it ...

How do you navigate disks other than the startup disk in a terminal
window? Namely, and external firewire drive.
"cd /Volumes" ... etc?

I've got a copy of OS X Tiger Server I want to install, but
unfortunately the
server box has only a CD drive. Is there any way to translate the
DVD into a series of CDs for installation purposes?

Hi guys, new here.
I have a Powerbook 140 and a couple of Classic and SE 4/40's and need
