Can you make a new admin and delete the old one? The old one's files will be moved to an image in the "deleted users" folder. You should be able to get everything from there.

This might be one time when a tech-support call to Apple might be worth it :) Dumb question: you did format the hard disk as HFS+ ?

I could be (very) wrong, but it sounds like when you try to open a package, Jaguar tries to open the 10.1 version of Installer. Applications that don't work with Jag tend to bounce once in the dock and disappear. Try dragging the package onto the Jag version of installer. Otherwise, I'd be...

Try using a utility like Batchmod (from Versiontracker.com) to set all the permissions so you own lot. Then you should be able to move the folder back to applications. You should be able to find the guilty parties (the ones with dodgy permissions) if needs be by trying to drag a few back at a time.

Can someone enlighten me to the difference between Apache 1.3 and the new 2.0? If 2.0 is just a better version, why does it seem like 1.3 is running in parallel?

I've found partitions mighty useful in the past for alternative startup volumes. I've currently got just two partitions - OS X and OS 9. The OS 9 one is only a gig or so, and OS X takes the rest. It's handy having another place to boot from in case one partition goes bonkers. I'm not sure if...

Himroid, I may be barking up the wrong tree, but is it because the other users aren't administrators? That could stop them booting into OS9... dunno about the printer, though.

AppMan, why the 2 in the 3rd octet?

I've got a really wierd and downright annoying problem. I installed Jaguar on an iMac 266 (tray-loading) with 256MB of ram yesterday. Since then, any time I reboot it has reset the monitor configuration to factory default. ie., it is too far to the right, and needs to expand both ways by about...

The lock is unlocking every time you reboot because MacOS X is automatically authenticating you as an administrator. Nobody else can change the settings unless they are an administrator - the lock will alway be locked for them. And network settings don't 'change themselves', so don't be worried...

trond, you might want to give people a better description of the problem. ie. what is it about drag and drop that doesn't work?

The other thing you could do is simply put all your local mp3's in a playlist called "Local" or something. That'd make it easy to play just local music, but you'd still need to clear out dead links once in a while.

I have a problem using a dial-up connection in OS X 10.1.5. I can connect fine and everything works perfectly - once. After I disconnect, every connection after that does not work until I restart. After a restart it works fine again. Anybody know what's going on? Any process I can restart or...

I think Powermaster is after a way of hiding just one user from the list, not every user. I too would like to know the answer - I know people have posted how-to's before, but I can't find them.

Try connecting to smb://(your linux box ip)/home/lilbandit/share I find that connecting via IP's is much more reliable in OS X. BTW, I think the correct full connection string would be smb://WORKGROUP;DOUGAL/home/lilbandit/share (ie. without the username). OS X asks for the...

For what it's worth, I found BrickHouse quite easy to set up, and I got internet sharing working pretty quick. Just follow the manual. I agree that a hub's easier, though.

Yup... good advice from Rhino_G3. Just start up from the Install CD and go to File menu > Reset password (or something like that). Then you can log in with your new password.

Try this: 1) Select and copy a carriage return in the BBEdit document. 2) Perform a Find (Search > Find...), and paste in the return in the top (Search for) field. 3) Type a Tab in the bottom (Replace with) field. 4) Hit "Replace All" If that doesn't work, type \r in the top field and...

Oh yeah... forgot to mention that. I tried that before, and it works fine up until I log in again. When it starts up, it goes to 800x600 resolution and fills the screen just right. After I enter my password it goes back to 1024x768 in its wonky default state. I experimented a bit and found...
