I let my system (Powerbook 17" 1Ghz) do the update to 10.3.9 tonight, now it is hosed. On mandatory reboot, It goes thru the typical starting internet services, etc. messages pretty fast, then freezes for some time at 'Starting Login Window' then after 2 -3 minutes, gives me a login window (I...

I, like the original poster, do photo work with multiple displays on the desktop. I use a 17" Powerbook, I find the couple of inches wider is very comfortable, is still easy to transport and gives me lots of desktop real estate. I also will hook a second dsiplay in once in a while to get the...

One more...I also tried Disk Copy 6.6.3 and it loaded but would not load the image files.... however I can open the image files under OSX and mount them and fool with the files on the image

I also tried it on my Powerbook 17" with classic running, DiskCopy 4.2 will not run saying "Disk Copy will not run on this kind of Macintosh since certain required support is not provided"

It is a 1.4 file for a 1.4 disk. I was told that all the DiskCopy functions were now part of Disk Utility. Thanks for the help so far, but no dice yet!

It is a 1.44 image and I have a 1.44 drive and diskette. So that is not the problem. I am able to erase the disk, but just not do a 'RESTORE'... it starts, runs for a few seconds, sounds like it is doing it then....bam...error of one sort or another.

Another note. the error is: An Error (1) occured while copying. It is when it seems like it should be finishing.

I am trying to make a bootable system diskette for an old Mac Portable that I am trying to restore. I have a G5 and have a DiskCopy 4.2 boot disk (system 6.08) image file. For the life of me, I cannot get DiskUtility to create a bootbale disk. It tries then gives me an error on any floppy....so...

There is also a 'fix file' on macromedia's website, that I had to use to solve this problem.

I just got a new 2.5Ghz dual G5 and I also added yet another LCD monitor (dual monitor) to it. It is one of a few I own that will rotate from landscape to portrait. That would be AWESOME for me to actually use (photo editing), but I have never seen any utilites that actually support it for...

My dell 20" monitor has 2 inputs, One DVI, One vGA abd can toggle between them. That allows two computers to use it without a KVM, SO add one KVM and it could work that way

iPodRIP and iPOD2Mac are two that I have used. They work well!

I have just done the OSX system move from my beloved G4 17" Powerbook to a Dual G5 2.5Ghz desktop. (keeping the powerbook....can't live without it) - But my question is this: When I did the system move via Firewire Target Disk mode, all my apps transfered too...great!....BUT.... do I need to...

Yes you can get the module. It is a plug-in module that is a little deeper in the system than Apple would like you to go. But for a PC tech and Mac addict, like me (or really anyone, how hard is it to remove two screws and ground yourself from static) - it is about a 3 minute job.

Does anyone have an opinion on using a dongle Bluetooth module on a 2.5 PowerMac versus getting the built in module? I just received my dual G5 and have been using a bluetooth mouse on my powerbook for some time. I also use a bluetooth PDA, and would consider a cordless keyboard too. I know I...

I have another alternative altogether....one thing for sure is the hard drive is going to be arond for a while longer. I have started using a low cost raid5 backup solution. I have two 1TB systems that mirror to each other everynight. This gives me the redundancy of raid5 PLUS the redundancy of...

I use Synchronize! X and it is AWESOME. I tried Chronosync, but had a few problems. I syncronize several computers, laptops, and even between 2 servers with the product. Tech support from the company was quick and painless when I did have an issue as a new user. It does cost a few bucks, but a...

The Treo 650 is what life is about (ok to a geek maybe)...it has all the features you need, the proven Palm OS, great screen, thousands of available apps to make life easier, bluetooth for a headset, car adapter etc. Plus I use it with my powerbook for online access anywhere I have a cell...

I simply needed the space...60GB for music - Over 7000 songs and counting, if only iTunes would downsample songs as they went on to the iPod like MusicMatch used to do when I was on Windows....the photo option has actually been pretty cool too for parties. I attend my fair share and I am a...
