So when you reinstall X, do you just delete all the OS X files off your hard drive in 9 and then install X from the CD? I figure that while I am at it I might want to partition my hard drive, one for OS 9 and one for X. I'd have to back my stuff up, but I do have a Superdrive, so I could just...

In a lame attempt to give another computer full access to my computer, I gave everyone read/write privileges and copied to all enclosed folders in OS X. I have been told that I completely messed up the privilege structure of the OS. Does anyone know how to reset all the privileges back to...

I did what you said and reset etc/sudoers to 0440, then I tried to set the privileges for TruBlueEnvironment, but I got another error message: sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 80, should be 0 how can I fix this one? I went into NetInfo and changed the root gid from 80 to 0, but that...

I was about to do what genghiscohen told me, to set the setuid to root or something like that. I used his commands, but I got the following message in terminal: sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0644, should be 0440 what does this mean, and how do I reset it? I have attached a pic of my...

Nope, sorry, only one hard drive on this machine. BTW it is not only Classic that doesn't work, it is almost all apps that have to read files off my hard drive. iTunes doesn't work, IE doesn't work, Netscape doesn't work, and many others don't work. It tells me I don't have the privileges...

How do I reinstall X on top of my current system? The best advice I have gotten about my problem is to "do a reinstallation on top of your existing system (not a wipe-and-reinstall)". Can someone tell me how to do this, I assume I have to use my OS X system disk. I won't lose any of the...

I love Texas. I was born and raised here, and have in all my traveling (I've been to every state but Oregon, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Alaska. I've been to Canada, Mexico, England, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Scotland, Austria, and some small European countries), never come across...

I like country music, especially in the summer :) . Nothing like the free, outdoors feeling you get driving on I-10 in West Texas, top-down, listening to some good Alan Jackson or some such. I wish I could do that some time, but I would need to drive about 8 hours and get a convertible. I...

When I try to startup Classic I get the following error message: "You are running Classic without superuser(root) privileges. Ensure TruBlueEnvironment is setuid and owned by root, or reinstall your Mac OS X System Software." What the heck is going on? I have used Classic countless times...

I have a Linksys router as well, sharing our RoadRunner connection, but we have never had problems with AIM disconnecting. What version of AIM are you using, OS 9 or X (although the X version is just a carbonized 9 app. You can actually use the AIM X version in 9 if you want)?. Looking at my...

If you have Toast Titanium you can make your .mov's into .mpg's. Jjust drop the movie on the Toast window and it will convert it. In Quicktime Pro just go to export and choose standard .avi and it will work fine in WMP. I think your friends should get Quicktime Player anyway. I haven't the...

Manic, you say that previous versions of MacOS were buggy. Certainly you are not saying that Win95, Win98, and the rest of the Windows versions were not buggy? Almost everyone I have ever met has complained about Windows (all versions, but less so with XP) being unstable, much more so than my...

I think it would be just freaking awesome if the new PowerMac tower (and maybe even the displays) picked up on the new iMac color scheme. Imagine white/chrome towers and the matching keyboard, mouse, and LCD display with it. It would be freaking beautiful!!!

manic, you are pathetic. We use the same RAM you do in almost every case (except perhaps for some notebooks). It costs no more to upgrade RAM in a Mac than it does in a Windows machine. You are making a fool of yourself, so watch out.

Manic, I guess you fail to understand that APPLE sold 6 million iMacs. In another post you said that number is insignificant compared to PC figures. Of course it is compared to ALL PC's sold, but it is huge for a SINGLE model of a SINGLE manufacturer's computer. And you keep saying, who will...

I hacked into the Apple website and found this for the banner for Sunday. It is real, I promise. Oh yeah, and I used to work for spymac.com too.... hahahahaha. Dude, don't make fun of me, I am just kidding.

where can I get the font? Can someone send it to me? madhatter979@yahoo.com

what font is that that Apple uses in all their stuff? I am trying to make a funny banner, and I need to know what font it is so I can use it.

My best friends cousin has worked for Apple (actually it was an internship) since the beginning of the summer. When my friend went to Nebraska for their family Christmas, his cousin went on and on about how freaking awesome this new machine is. He even confirmed it was a flat panel iMac, but...

wdw, where in Texas are you?
