Hey guys and girls, hope you can help me ! I want to make an excact copy of my installed & completely configured OS X server 10.1.3. The purpose of that copy is to benefit others : Just restore/copy/insert/replace/whatever my OS X server disk to another disk and make it work. That's the...

My problems occur in both OS X and OS 9.1

I've got a 500 Mhz White IBook and have got modem problems. Maybe it's just broken (i think i've tried everything) or maybe it's some kind of known issue. The problems are rather simple to explain : Connecting in both OS 9 or OS X (doesn't mather, same problems !!) goes well. After a random...

Hey guys, please give me some pointers here. Who knows some solid tips to sqeeze everything, all the power, his whole life out of my battery ? I'm just not sattisfied with the batterylife of my iBook white dual boot. I already returned one to Apple , but got the same result with a new one...

Thanks for the brightness-tip, i will try that. My battery life sucks big time. A already returned a battery to Apple, but a new battery got me the same result. Ill open a forum for this !

I just bought the thing because it looks so cool ;) But anyways, OS X does well on this great (sorry, i did it again) iBook. Well, not super. I'm awaiting the 10.1 update to convert from well to super. And yes, a G3 and a G4 processor can't be compared. But that's where the big difference...

i've got a nice, white sweater for ya with extra long sleaves

Spanning Tree is not very new but indeed kills the Mac's network performance. Spanning Tree is a redundant protocol and self learning. It is meand to create redundant connections between 2 switches (or in port fast mode between a switch and a CPU), but Mac's just can't handle it. It's by default...

Don't ! Just a tip folks : When you want to rebuild your desktop (in OS 9) and OS 9 and X are on the same partition : Don't. When they are on different partitions only rebuild your OS 9.x partition. I rebuilded my OS X partition under OS 9.1 and it messed up all my type and creators in OS...

Maybe it's just me, but why do you occasionally use disk warrior ? Disk warrior is, i think, your last resort when your HD has crashed and your data has to be recovered. For maintanance just just norton disk doctor and speeddisk. I just think disk warrior isn't the right software to use often.

The battery meter in OS X sucks indeed. Don't spend anymore time to figure it out but just wait till an update (maybe 10.1 will solve it). "Training" your battery should not be nesseccary anymore, but is still recomended. Charge it for 12 ours, when it's completely empty charge it for another...

sorry, i just saw you already set up the proxysettings on those two. sorry. ehhh,... btw, did you do this with an app other than OS X or mail.app ?

What is the IP number specified as gateway in the networking prefs of those two clients ? And is this indeed your proxyserver ? When you don't tell the OS X clients that there is a proxy (and i believe you can't specify this in mail.app, so you'll have to do it in Mac OS X), they won't know it...

Could it be the specific ports are closed on these Mac OS X machines ? Port 25 and 110 and maybe the port of the proxy should be openend. Download and install a firewall app like brickhouse (or something like that, on www.versiontracker.com) to open all your ports, maybe this helps.

Some pages can be connected to and some not, could be a DNS problem. Does your aDSL forward the DNS requests or are you using non-local DNS servers ? Try switching. Try primairy 194.134.5.5 and 194.134.0.67 as secundairy (our dutch provider). These are solid. Good luck.
