THAT is a good use of partitions. Seperate operating systems....anything else is just more work and a waste of time IMHO.

There is really not any logic in this. Its kind of like buying several one drawer file cabinets, stacking them on top of one another, then bolting them together to form a large cabinet. What is the point? If one drawer catches on fire, they all will burn. Partitions are really only good for...

I purchased READI.R.I.S. from a local dealer nearly two weeks ago. I have had installation issues with the software. I have emailed ReadIRIS numerous times about it and received no response. To my dealers credit, since it was an open package, they allowed me to return it when I explained the...

Since I like ONE application to handle my mail, appointments, contacts, tasks, etc AND I want easy sync to a palm - I prefer Microsucks Entourage. I hate supporting heathens, BUT, it works very well and after a year of use I have had ZERO problems with it.

I saw this story when it first came out and the best part is: "This will be important news to all concerned. For Baltimore County police, said spokesman Bill Toohey, “It’s a sign that we’re all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world.” It is THE excuse that is used for total stupidity! What...

I have not been able to get support from READIRIS. I installed ReadIris on my G5 and it installed ok. When I ran the software for the first time, it asked for a serial number. While I was digging for it, the software crashed. No biggie, I ran it again and this time it asks me to select four...

Please don't take offense, But I just bought two of these in as many weeks on ebay, exactly the same (with original boxes!) for 525 and 540 each. I will offer the 540 if you are interested.

Try trashing the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file in the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder. Also trash the com.apple.airport.plist file in the *user*/Library/Preferences folder. I had a similar problem on a Powerbook and it worked for me. The main thing is when you are...

If it is built in, you would normally see the airport signal icon on the toolbar. It may be greyed out and need to be turnen on, by clicking it and selecting to turn it on. You can also check the network pref pane. It will list airport if it is present.

I have been plagued recently. First the 10.3.9 update crashed my powerbook, so I reformated with 10.3.5 and migrated my user from a 2.5Ghz Tower. Then I let the system update to 10.3.8. Now my problem is that iScroll2 installer starts then crashes right away AND the automatic update available...

See some of the other posts on 10.3.9...That would be the update you performed recently. It hosed one of my computers (Powerbook) the same way. The only recovery was to reinstall the OS from scratch. I first used the computer in Firewire Target mode to get all of my data off of it. (hold the T...

I can ad something here. I was one of the first to update to 10.3.9 on a Powerbook while in a hotel room. I did everything wrong, did not backup first, did not logout and back in and did not fix permissions first. Anyway...it completely sank my PB (17", 1Ghz). Upon returning home (today), I...

Yup, no problems on the drive at all.

Safe boot acts the same as any other. There is no way in Graphically as far as I can tell. Only single user mode works....which is virtually worthless. I can use the machine as a Target Mode Firewire disk to get to data....but damn am I lucky I have another Powerbook with me. Think about the guy...

I would love to download the standalone installer.....BUT.... I can't get on my system except in single user mode. So that is the dumbest suggestion Apple can make. No power was interupted and as far as I know, no system modifications have been made. How do we know if third party software has...

unfortunately fsck -yf reports no problems. to vinko, if you let the powerbook set long enough booting normally, you will probably get a login window eventually (up to 15 minutes). The problem lies in corrupt files somewhere.... that I know for sure. I have no permission errors or anything when...

However, the real problem is it won't let ANY user actually login. There is a corrupt file somewhere, and I am surprised I am the only one to have this problem. I don't run any crazy programs on the mac that would prevent an update from happening properly. However, this is like the third time I...

Can you give me the first commands again? Nothing was in bold. I am a little confused as to the upper commands in the last post

Added info: I booted in single user mode, trashed the fontcache that was referenced in some other posts on Fireball. Not the problem. I then renamed the user file via: # cd /var/db/netinfo # mv local.nidb local.nidb.corrupted # reboot Which gave me the window as if I just purchased the mac...

ran fsck in single user mode. fsck -y told me it was journaled and to try fsck -f instead. I did. It found no problems. Still the same problem, a crazy slow system, and won't login.
