Yesterday I used Finder to navigate to /Users/mywife/Public.  I noticed that
the red prohibitory sign was missing from her ~/Pictures folder.  I was
able to double click it and get in to that folder, which had always
previously been set to No Access for all others.

Suddenly, iTunes service started to degrade over a period of about 2
minutes. First, it slowed down, then it stopped. Then it gave funky
icons on the screen.
AFter a reboot, it gives nice icons on startup but claims that the store

It mounts just fine on my Panther G4.
Using USB Prober from the dev tools I see:

Is this program (version 3.5.1) particularly sensitive to router/news
server interactions?  I recently hooked up a Linksys RT31P2 router for
its hardware firewall and the speeds are fine.  But after being
reading some newsgroups for a few minutes it disconnects.  Then I have

We have a 933 Mhz PPC G4 iBook with a 40 GB drive that is full. Was
wondering how big a deal it would be to upgrade to a larger capacity
drive and have a few questions:

I had a user agent (~/Library/LaunchAgents/rename-pdf) that watched a
folder of change of contents and performed an action whenever one
occurred.  It performed flawlessly under Tiger running on my iMac G3,
but no amount of coaxing will get it to perform with Leopard on my new

Can Leopard do it????  I hope so!

I recall that some of the older powerpc macs could not use all of the
available space on newer large capacity hard drives. Is an iMac DV one

Thanks.

I'm running a G4, silver front, 1.0 mhz, 2 gig RAM.

I am having a hard time just explaining this.
The bug seems to be in the ability to drag the cursor for the purpose of
highlighting a few words or lines of text.  
The drag does not catch from where I want a highlight to start and usually

I've been using Synergy for the past few months to share my PC's mouse
and keyboard with my iMac. My PC is the server and the Mac is the
client. Every morning I open a txt document with the command (/
synergy-1.3.1/synergy -f --name graphicsiMac 192.168.1.107)  and cut

I need a free Data recovery Application for OS X 10.4. Any ideas.
Money is tight.  Beth Thanks in advance.

I just saw this on Alsoft website and I wanted to share since it was
exactly what I would do from my 10.4.10 partition if I have installed
Leopard.
