work around theory for itunes installation in os x.1 if you have multiple partitions remove them from the desktop (unmount them). i.e in os 9.1 you can drag them to the trash and get a message asking if you want to remove them from the desktop and that they will reappear when you restart (i...

d*** if u have partitions with different sorts of data on it 1) it organises data different sizes for different uses 2) when the os decides to go tits up and delete the volume info headers on its partition and norton can only recover data files with random names and applications asigned to...

problem resolved had to select mac os x disc in startup disc then click the arrow and select the mac os x folder. usually nstartup disc manager lists both folders but it didn't this occasion

i just booted os 9.1 on my os x partition and updated it via the update control panel. when i tried to reeboot into os x i got a black screen with text in the top 2 inches with the last line saying "we are panicing in here" i cant type anything and the only thing i can do is to restart the...

os x is a big let down. everyh disk has a library, apps folder blah blah blah. i've got used to storing different items on different partitions just in case the disk head crashes, (ive had it happen before and lost everything). yeah u can still do that now but my disks seem more cluttered now...

i understand that everyone hates intel, but ........ sooooo many people use the platform that prices for compatible software and hardware have fallen. if it wern't for the pc platform memory and hard drives etc would cost a fortune for us mac users as everything would have to be specially made...

does intel bsd have different drivers for usb etc than bsd for mac? if so the mac bsd will have 1 usb driver for the mac platform and the pc version will have a usb driver for their devices. i really can't see a problem. if the drivers already exist and work it only requires a basic driver for...

in think apple should release Mac OS X on intel CPU's as well as power pc. It will work on the platform and its major components do work on intel. as the powerpc G4 is so much more powerful than intel pentium the G4's can be used for high end jobs whilst the pentium's can be used for word...
