Well, based on what was said in this thread and a phone call I just made to Apple, I do not want to use FileVault. Does anyone know of a third party software that can protect a directory or file on the Mac even if the HD is taken out of the machine an put in another machine by a thief or hacker?

Yes I am aware of FireVault and some of its problems. I think there may be some issues trying to use that along with Time Machine. My main concern is if they got to the passwords on the disk. Would they be able to get the passwords in keychain?

Suppose someone broke into my home or office and stole either my interior or exterior drive and they then put it on another Mac or Linux machine? Is there anyway to prevent them from access to the data?

1) How can I export a keychain list? When I look in the file menu in Keychain Access, I can see Import but Export is dimmed. I want to merge my keychains at home with my keychains at work. 2) When I use Keychain Access, and click one of those checkboxes that says "Show password," it asks me...

Satcomer, that certainly is a very interesting link. I live in Japan and out in the country for that matter. Although I sometimes import stuff from the U.S. (where most prices are cheaper), it can really be a pain to buy stuff. When some company ships me the wrong item, exchanging it can be a...

The drive is IDE. Today I went to the store and found an external drive I liked as it has a removeable drive. It only accepts SATA drives. But at least I can buy any SATA drive I want and just insert it. Cost me $138. It came with, you guessed it, a Western Digital drive (1TB). What I like...

I thought I would try it again. I have tried hooking up the external drive to a G4 only to find the G4 will not even finish start-up. It gets to the point where it is supposed to load local disks and stops. Then if I pull out the firewire that connects the external drive, it finishes start-up...

I don't think there is loud clicking. I'll have to check again but it isn't loud. Sometimes the blue light is on constantly and sometimes it blinks. The drive I have looks like this: http://www.lacie.com/jpen/products/product.htm?pid=10894 If it is the drive itself, am I SOL?

I am the OP. This thread must have brought be some bad luck as my LeCie just went nuts. The drive is about 4 years old but I hardly even used it. I made some backups of my old G4's and just kept it all these years. As I recently bought a intel mac I thought I would backup some of my files...

Problem solved. I put in a differnt XP CD an it installed OK on Parallels. It is up and running and is really amazing. I don't particularly like windows but I would rather do everything on one machine than have to fool with a physical XP machine. Can anyone tell me the major difference...

I ften take screenshots. com > shift > 3. They used to be picts then became pdf's and now png in Leopard. Is the average computer user able to open these without problems? Is it the sort of thing an XP user could just double click on and open without problems. If not, is there a way to...

I called Paralells tech suport and they suspect the CD itself. They told me to get another CD and try it. The simplest things are always the hardest. Is there a way to do this without having to buy another one?

I jsut called Paralells on the phone and they said I could install without SP2 and then upgarde later. But they said two hours of installing with no end in site is out of the ordinary.

Ah, but I just got off the phone with VMware and they said it won't install without XP SP2. But now that I see that I cannot use it on Bootcamp, I am back to square one.

That must be the problem, it isn't XP SP2.I looked at the instructions for slipstreaming. Looks like quite a hassel. Would it be possible to put my non-SP2 version of XP on the Mac using Bootcamp and then upgrade to SP2 off the MS website? Then, could I create a virtual machine from Bootcamp?

Randy, Can you provide any links to instructions on how to put it altogether? Internal drive, case enclosure, power supply, ports, and software to drive it???

I tried to install XP (from CD) on Parallels today. After two hours, it was still installing. It said that the installation would take about 39 minutes but noting is happening except the thermometer is twisting. After two hours I left the machine running and came home from the office...

Instead of deleting the oldest backups, can you manually delete a backup in between time (just to free up space)? Quite often, the oldest backup is what you want. By the way ElDiabloConCaca, Fusion says that if you want to create a virtual from an physical Win machine, it recommends a USB2...

I recently got an Intel Mac and am new to Time Machine. Would I be better off backing up to an external drive? Should I get a USB drive or a firewire drive? I do not feel the need for a wireless drive. I want a drive that is quiet but fast. I only have about 100 gigs of data including system...

Can you tell me what this means: "For Windows and Linux operating systems, Parallels Transporter is provided as a separate application and supports three migration methods: local, remote and virtual." How would I migrate from a physical XP machine to my Intel Mac? Obviopusly data has to get...
