…so that Migration Assistant can see the drive. That was likely your only issue. Glad you were able to resolve your issue. May I also suggest setting up an additional Admin account as well on the new machine, if you do not already have one. I have found that some accounts brought over from...

Earlier versions are probably not longer available, and for good reason. All versions, prior to 9 were discovered to have a serious security hole in them, hence the upgrade to the 9.x series. Don't worry, the latest one will run on your system.

If your MacBook Pro is Intel based, you MUST format the external drive with the GUID partition scheme before cloning to it if you ever want to boot an Intel Mac from that external drive. If the external drive is formatted for PPC booting (Apple Partition Scheme), the contents of the clone can be...

Don't fret too much about this in Transmission. Mine says the same thing, even with various Firewalls having that port open, and 'Automatically Map Port' (for NAT-PMP or UPnP), and it still works fine. If you are getting no transfers on what should be well seeded torrents, however, ensure your...

Sounds like you might need to do a little bit of maintenance on the target PPC machine (permission check while booted from it, Disk utility check when booted from OSX Install CD), and make sure it's got any firmware updates that might affect FW Disk Target mode. While I have heard of the odd...

You just have to compute your route BEFORE you disconnect from your WiFi Network (ie: enter your destination and arrival points and step through your route – I find stepping through all way points ensures everything gets cached). These cached steps will be available off-line once you are...

From what I've heard of the way Data Rescue functions, it identifies filetype during recovery and little else. Its function is pure recovery, and it assumes nothing more. You'll have to go through your personal data files (assume your system files are a loss) and identify what you can. This...

You will need to authorize (click the little padlock icon) to make all those changes. You should be able to do them all with those privileges.

To do what you are trying to do, you need to not try and use it like a Windows PC, because it isn't one. To get your iPod running again, do a full restore, which should completely reset it to factory fresh conditions. Once this has happened DO NOT sync it. Look for the option on the connected...

The guys on the Mac Observers' Mac Geek Gab have experienced this exact issue with the Droboshare. If I recall correctly, the bottleneck of the Droboshare is a somewhat limited embedded CPU, but mostly to do with the Samba sharing being slow. A direct connection is certainly going to deliver...

Are you closing the laptop before connecting the monitor cables? This is usually a way to get the MacBook to check external monitor connections when you wake it from sleep. Restarting with the connections made may also help. Secondly, there MAY be an issue with your HDTV not being HDCP (High...

I had this exact model as my first Mac. By the sounds of it you were sticking in incompatible RAM modules. The RAM used by these machine are now considered antique, and if you get the wrong ones you would get the kernal panics you described (and I assume you could even do damage). They certainly...

Use SoundSource, from Rouge Amoeba Software. It's a menu extra that controls sound outputs, even when multiple (including headphones) are plugged in.

...the required folders requires that you correctly set the permissions for those folders the same as the default ones would have been set with. I have attached a screenshot of the Get Info panels for both the Public folder you will need to create in her User directory, and the Drop Box...

I'd check ebay and craigslist for comparative secondhand pricing.

Option 1: If you know that the only non-cache folder you deleted is the System fonts folder, you can reinstall just that folder and it's contents using a tool called Pacifist (see the macupdate.com page a http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/6812/pacifist ), and your system install discs. It...

While I wouldn't recommend going back to Tiger unless you have to, there IS a way around the Open Firmware password (which you can't circumvent by booting off another disc as the Open Firmware prevents this). To get around the Open Firmware password involves opening the Mac in question and...

This is almost exactly what I did when moving my Girlfriend's account to her new White Macbook, BUT... there are a few things you need to be aware of. Firstly: Install up to date (ie: UNIVERSAL) versions of all the software you intend to use on your Macbook Pro, to ensure all the apps are...

So it won't back up the Firewire hard drive. An alternative solution would be to use a product like SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner which can be set up to do incremental backups of any specified volumes (for two volumes – your Boot volume and your Firewire volume – you would set up two scripts)...

I have the same problem. When I upgraded our Work machines to CS3, the TWAIN driver for our multifunction scanner wasn't compatible.
