Zaping the PRAM *should* remove that annoying message for you (or at least, when I was getting the "Can't Open" message, that's what did it for me). At least one of the issues I also faces was a hard drive that was too slow in spinning up... the firmware wasn't very patient, and I finally moved...

Have you tried looking in: Internet Explorer.app/Contents/Resources There are a number of *.lproj files in there and *.icns I don't know if any of those might be what you want. I'm not on a system that I can look at those files, so I can't check them out myself.

I realize this is an old thread, but I'll post something since I've seen the question of how to move directories and/or multiple files a couple of times. To copy an entire directory tree, you can use the -R switch. For example: % cp -R documents/ new_location/ OR % cp -Rp documents/...

From poking around with nslookup, I noticed that those two address you gave seem to be different comptuers (or at the very least, different IPs, if you have multihoming set up). www.takefiveconsulting.com is 24.17.2.229 ftp.takefiveconsulting.com is 24.14.2.229 Have you tried...

No, you don't need to have the root account enabled, but I thought it was still *there* (I thought it had to be...) At any rate, that's not quite what this sounds like. It sounds like the computer is looking for a computer for the NetInfo root domain (something like the Primary Domain...

I suppose it depends on what you want to do. The command line is an extremely powerfull tool. For some example, look around at some tutorials on the 'net (there are a few from MacOS X pages, but linux tutorials abound as well). As some examples, you can move files around quickly, change...

According to Apple, you're right - there was never a 333 MHz option. I was told that on the phone when I was troubleshooting my booting issues. On the other hand, I tried it at 233, 266 and 300 (as I remember) with the same results on all of them. I've had no issues at 333 - at least not that...

The command in unix that would be most usefull to you is 'mount' - use 'man mount' to get more information about it. I don't know the partitioning scheme that OS X uses to name disks, but you can open the disk utility to get an idea. I think, once you know the disk name, you can use: mkdir...

I've gone to www.versiontracker.com and gotten *.dmg versions of the updates before. I think they are all released like that for people that are in your situation or want to have backups of the updaters. I think you can get to this from apples downloads area. The link for the 10.1.1 update...

Yes, I do have a Beige G3. I actually tried a number of times (10.0, not 10.1) to install with no luck, even though it worked on a G4. Eventually, I tried a different disc and it worked fine. As it turns out, there was a tiny scratch at a portion of my disc that contained booting...

This may sound like a dumb question.. but how long did you wait? The reason I ask is because I had thought the same thing as you, so I restarted... when it seemed to be taking forever, I left the room, called someone, and then came back over a 1/2 hour later. It was at the installer screen...

Did you have the installer in a folder other than the Utilities on when you ran an update? I had moved mine, and things got a little weird when I ran the installer update from apple. I moved it back, re-ran the update (by hand) and that seemed to do the trick!

One option that would take a bit of tweeking and some research is to simply use a different port for web services. This is assuming that there is *some* port they aren't blocking... so it may not be possible if they aren't letting anything in (which is a common thing for a firewall). That way...

That seems to match with what I had, then. Since carbon apps are "normal" (in the classic Mac OS sense) and cocoa apps are packages (ie: double-clickable folders). Hm... I'd like to know more about those LS files, actually...

This may or not be related... but you can look at it to see if that's the issue (unless you've already re-installed). I had a bad install occur that I rebooted the computer after (it was for Tropico, I think... great game, but I play it is OS 9). When the machine came back up, all my...

For using NetInfo, there is a *lot* of information on using it from the command line in the man pages. Unfortunatly, its a lot to read and its not entirely straight forward. If the app is quitting suddenly, there may be system libraries it needs that are not present. ???

My understanding was that Apple was still working on making Windows machines show up in the "Connect to server..." dialog box. As far as I know, you have to know the exact address to connect: smb://machine_name/share You might be able to make an alias of it after that to connect quicker...

You may want to wander around the 'net and find a couple of tutorials on networking... but I can give some quick hints. For one thing, each computer on the network needs to have an IP address, 0.0.0.0 is not a valid one. You can try using 192.168.x.x where the x denotes some number between 0...

Your router is a 192.168.x.x address? Hm... so the NAT/MASQ must be happening somewhere else down the line. Is this how your set up is? ['net]----[router]---[roommate/PC]---[you/Mac] or are you hanging off the router yourself? Lots of other question come to mind, though. If your...

The issue may be related to a mouse issue I was having - the mouse speed would reset itself if I put the machine to sleep by hand. It seemed to go away with 10.1, however. Have you upgraded?
