I'm trying to create a PPC Leopard bootable partition (or two) on an
external firewire drive.
My ultimate goal is to get Leopard installed on my iMac flat panel
800Mhz machine, which isn't supported by Leopard.  It's the kid's

Since installing Leopard my Mac Pro seems less interesting in waking
up from sleep. It used to be that the first press of mouse or keyboard
would do it, but for the last two days it seems to ignore this, and
only a press of the front-panel power button will do it.

I have an old SoundMover suitcase with about 20 alert sounds in it.

Is there an OS X application that can read this?

Well I went ahead and installed Leopard on a clean external FW drive.  
It starts and runs all 3 of our computers--- 2 GHz iMac, 1.2 GHz iBook
and 867 MHz Quicksilver. The huge problem is that I cannot get an
adequate Airport extreme connection on the QS with Leopard; I get just a ...

Hello, all. I'm a convert from Linux, although I still do use the
machines at my university (mostly over ssh). I'm running into a
problem: When I'm using vim (on any other system) regularly, when I
close the file (SHIFT-ZZ), then reopen it later, the cursor is where I

I'm doing a 'secure empty trash' on an old computer in preparation for
giving it away (G3 running 10.3.something), and I dragged a bunch of
applications to the trash, selected secure empty trash and let it run
all night as it choked down the stuff.

I'm trying to find an app that searches for files left by apps, that I
maybe have tried and just deleted the icon, and forgot about the files
lying in app.support i.e, or other places.
I DL'ed AppTrap for future deletions, but for the old ones...

Leopard's Boot Camp now  _requires_  Journaling be enabled in order to
set up the Windows partition.
This is different from previous Tiger versions of Boot Camp, where
Journaling could be turned off without affecting Boot Camp.

My MacBook just stopped making sound. When I looked around the System
Prefs, I found that the Sound CP thinks there are no speakers. There
are, though - if I reset the PRAM the bong is clearly audible, but by
the time the system is up, it once again thinks there are no speakers.

Is it worth creating an Administrative user in Leopard who can
administrate the computer and then a general users for myself? I did
this in Panther and it worked fine - now I am just checking it if
this  is still a good practice. Especially for a laptop.

Ok, I've built an OS X media server for all my digital movies.  It is now 2.5
TB.  I don't want to be a complainer but trying to back that up without a fast
tape drive is out of the question.  I have a LTO 2 scsi tape drive which is
attached to a windows box running Backup Exec.  It ...

Morning.
I've installed Leopard and remigrated the external backuped /Users. Then
I've protected one of the users home directory by FileVault. Now I've
tried a Spotlight search with the FileVault protected user. Spotlight

For some reason, after I upgraded to Leopard, then whenever I put my
MacBook Pro to sleep, it spontaneously wakes up after some time (can
be from a few minutes to an hour or two.) I don't know why this is
happening, but I know for sure that it's related to Leopard since I

Hi newsgroup,
As a very new Mac user, I hope to get some help from you oracles with
this question:
I need to access a remote Solaris Unix desktop from my Mac. Using a
