When I connect my macbook and my imac with a firewire cable, the iMac
shows up as two computers - a mac computer and a pc server. Can
someone please explain or help?

OK this could be a stretch, but...
Apple just dropped their refurb iMac prices further and moved iMacs to
the top of the page. So they have a lot of excess inventory they want
to get rid of.

I have a Mac Mini whose job is to back up various online sites.
When it was running Tiger, it ran various scripts launched by cron to do
the job. Nobody would be logged into the system and the scripts would
fire at their assigned times.

Wondering if anyone here has tried one of those USB wireless broadband
adapters on the Mac.  (Sold by Sprint, Nextel, etc.) I just picked up a
new MacBook and don't feel like pulling out the plastic every time I

less likely you'd lose data just by launching it and using it.

I frequently put my MacBook Pro to sleep by closing the lid.  Often -
but not always - when I open the lid, it makes a noise like the disk
waking up, but the screen stays dark.  I can't find the right buttons
to push to make it light up, and usually I end up doing a hard reboot.

I currently have two old Macs...let's call them my MAIN Mac (a G4
running Tiger) and my OTHER Mac (early Intel iMac also running Tiger).
And, I'm about to purchase a NEW Mac. (3 Macs...MAIN, OTHER and NEW)
What I'd like to do is move virtually everything (user accounts,

I have Leopard and I installed X11 from the Leopard installation DVD.
So, I can just type xterm in the terminal, and it will start X11 and
xterm, right? But it doesn't work here. It's a fresh Leopard
installation. When I type xterm nothing happens. When I look at top it

Leopard's "Airport Utility" doesn't work with Airport Express.
After I installed Leopard I wanted to configure my wireless network. I
started "Airport Utility", and it asked me to update the firmware
which I okayed. Then it couldn't find my router anymore, even after I

I was trying to backup one of the folders on my MacBook (OS 10.4), but
instead of copying from the Mac to the external HD, I did the reverse,
and ended up with an older version of everything on my Mac (and lost
some of the files).
