I use CCC to clone my startup disc to a Firewire HD all the time. Never an problem with bootability. The drive's an older Accomdata. I recently got a newer, larger Accomdata drive that 'matches' the shape and appearance of my Mac Mini. It will clone the disc, but its is not bootable. My...

My issues following installation of Safari 4b are in Mail. My gMail password is not sticky, I have to reenter it each time I open the application. So far, there is not problem quiting the application. However, if I go into preferences, the password is blank. When I enter and save it, Mail...

I'm particularly interested in how stable Safari is. It's my browser of choice, i rarely open IE. Does premium or basic client make any difference to Safari? Unfortunately, blowing off the Exchange Server is not a current option. ttfn dirtbag

Dear Friends, I'm the designated lab rat for Outlook Web @ my company! I currently limp along with Entourage (Note: I do not have OS9 installed). I'd appreciate any input folks can give me about such an installation. *What browsers work: Safari, IE, Camino? *Can Entourage still function for...

For my part: Been there, done that, zapped the PRAM, reset the NVRAM, permissions, and booted from remote volumes. Of some interest: I had a similar problem on my iBook. I discovered this problem was caused by uControl. But on the G4 I don't use uControl... ttfn

Does anyone have an update on this problem? Those four keys @ the extreme upper right of the keyboard no longer work. I've changed keyboards and booted off remote volumes (iBook and external HD). Nothing seems to give me back the keys. I'm just glad to see I'm not alone. To those with this...

Lately, I've been getting spam with no subject. Entourage rules won't let me create a rule without a subject. "The specified critera must have a value" Can anyone suggest a way to move eMail without a subject to junk? ttfn Dirtbag

Dxb is a really cool theme, but it doesn't install through Shapeshifter. Desktopper is working on it. To Restore Panther Theme: Use the Restore Package (named “Restore theme (MenuEnhancerSample).mpkg”) Launch it, click “continue” until you see a personalized button. Select this...

I just wanted to post a update on the disposition of the no sleep problem I originally posted. It turns out to have been a hardware problem probably (according to AppleCare) caused by overheating an already weak latch switch during the 10.3 update process which, I'm told, is very power and...

Panther No Sleep The 10.3 install over 10.2.6 was relatively painless but has left me with some problems. Many, such as Safari instability, have been noted elsewere. I've seen a number of references to sleep issues, but none quite like mine. Your suggestions are welcome. My iBook will not...

I'm preparing my partitions for Panther. I haven't found a reference in the forums concerning its size. I'm assuming its roughly comparable to Jaguar. Can anyone confirm it's size in relation to Jaguar? ttfn dirtbag

Is there an easier way to delete favorites in Open/Save dialogues other than to open ~/Library/Favorites? I'm still getting the "documents" folder (in favorite places) and "Home" & "iDisk". Can I be more selective about what appears when I click that double-ended radio button? ttfn Dirtbag

gsahli, thanks for your reply, I've got v 4.2.5 of the Gimp and ESP Ghostscript 7.05.6. As yet, I've installed neither. If I understand correctly, you're suggesting installing the 'hpijs driver' instead of the Gimp driver? I'd still need Ghostscript regardless of which driver I install? As...

The original question was: Is the Finder a Cocoa application in 10.3? Does AnyOne know if Maxi Mice works in the OS 10.3 Finder? This is the test for Cocoa... ttfn Dirtbag

When I got the AEBS I was looking foward to wireless printing from my iBook (Airport card & OS 10.2.6). Unfortunately, it was not to be. My HP PSC 2110 is not on the compatability list. Now, I've got the Gimp Print package downloaded on my HD. My printer is not 'officially' supported, but...
