Am I correct in thinking that you're opening files directly from the server? Try the same exercise on a local drive please.

You obviously know more about the operation of MX - I work on the IT side... The operators reported problems with differing levels of document 'complexity' (what is complex anyways? Some would say that just being able to print anything is a complex command :-). It was noted here that reverting...

Entourage is certainly the best thing for email currently... Shame the chaps at MS don't let you have it separately (ohhh I wonder why that is :rolleyes: ). Mail in Panther was flawed, Mail in Tiger is effective (this is what I use), I found Thunderbird a little difficult on the eye - and to be...

No experience of this, but would suggest removing these programs and seeing if you can get back to where you were? Check out the manufacturers site for uninstall instructions. Come back if you still have prob.s ATB

Open the /var/log/cups logs and note the info in there. Post them back. I assume you have completed a repair permissions before and after the Tiger upgrade? (Tiger has significant changes in the printing mechanism).

I have no probs with Cyberduck on 10.4.4 going to Windows based FTPs. What exactly is the error you're getting? Come back to us. ATB

Quark has it's own pdf maker (JAWS). I have no experience of it, I use Acrobat... Use export as pdf and work your way from there. Acrobat Pro is a good option (but somewhat overkill for a one off :-). Check out the Quark forum on the Quark website, it walks you through. It also tells you...

MX is crashing (plainly). Latest version is 11.0.2 available from the Macromedia site. MX hasn't been updated since at least 10.3.8, and given the major OS structural changes (and a lot of them in the printing mechcanisms) in Tiger, I've come to conclusion (here anyways) that the...

Pleasure dear boy, UNIX is a powerful thing - something new/difficult everyday :-). My PC colleagues point at this sort of stuff and say 'inherently insecure'. They're right. Then again, if you suffer the same type of cockup on a PC - you HAVE to reinstall... Good/Bad? Depends how you look...

These 'ghost' files are prefixed '._' yes? If so, that'll be ye olde Mac resource fork file - which a PC wouldn't understand. Your PC user probably sees a blank icon on the 'proper' file? Suggest zipping the file first before attaching to the email. (In Tiger, right click file and "create...

Agree totally. Spam filter isn't great. Try a 'whitelist' rule... ie. block all mail from email addresses NOT in your Address Book. Relies heavily on you for the administration - but you do that as a matter of course don't you ;-).

as noted, single user mode can help. Check this out. http://www.rit.edu/~wwwits/services/desktop_support/mac/xforcenewadminacccount.html However, I agree with previous posts - this can be very dangerous... get an original CD/DVD... ATB.

:-)

Re: the hardware test... is it not marked on the DVD? Disk 1 probably... (To state the obvious hold " c" key after the startup chime). Could always check if the DVD is bootable in System Preferences>Startup Disk. Removing a RAM chip will not make it 'go bad' - it just may not boot at all (you'll...

Sorry to hear this - as you say... all 'good fun' :rolleyes: FYI - I have a Dual 800 G4 with a similar challenge. I know that that problem is; the firewire connectors on the MB are broken somehow - it panics the OS occasionally... So I'm gonna take a stab and say it's hardware - but do you're...

Sadly, most crash logs start with this kind of message... Don't really help :-( Look further down the list for anything you may consider 'suspect'... What version of PS you using? Any updates worth having from Adobe? Classic problems (and yes I know it used to work per OS update): a) repair...

I'll say first that I'm no AV expert, but I'll chuck a couple of things in the pot - who knows -it may help :D 10.3.9 has caused some problems for a multitude of people (please don't glibly go to Tiger!). Firstly, you must repair permissions after any OS update - this can be done through...

FYI - my panther server goes up to 5Gb of VM some times... and regularly get over 3Gb on client (dependent on what's running). Apple and MS recommend a minimum of 20% free disk space on a drive for continuing good service... Goos luck.

Mate of mine had (sounds like) a similar problem... he emptied the trash and the available HD space went DOWN not up as expected. Booting in Single user mode (Command+S at startup chime) and running the fsck command (syntax is provided on boot up) - solved the problem. I'll add that on another...

I'm gonna take a stab and say that when the HD was formatted HFS+, OS 9 drivers weren't installed. Since a partition cannot just have drivers by it self (they must aplly to the whole drive) and you cannot just 'add' them. You'll have to erase the drive in Disk Utility (keep the same partitions)...
