RPS...thanks for your suggestion. Actually I did that. What I neglected to note was that this is not like the usual stubborn undeletable file. (Which would be very easy to find on a lot of forums) Here is the error I am getting. Note the user id number included with the error. When I have seen...

I am getting the message that the trash can not be emptied because the user doesn't have permission-BUT this is an account that has admin priviledges. What can I do to fix it. I have already run disk repair/fix permissions. Any suggestions?

I got it to work finally. I want to test fully tomorrow and then I will post what the problem was.

Eric ...no one caught that and it makes sense. Thanks I will try that.

Harvey did you try toggling hot-sync on and off, then back on again? What about trashing the plist prefs for sync in your library folder?

Slur... This is what confuses me about it. I am running asr as root, logged in as root. I even tried sudo as root so I don't think that is the problem. Got any other ideas? (I did read the man pages thoroughly prior and during the procedure, I even tried naming my image and destination...

Ok so I got asr installed and it looks like it worked when I made my image. Now I can't get it to restore to the correct volume. Any ideas? Here's my command line session: [Admin:/Volumes/Test Partition] root# asr -source /Volumes/OS\ X\ Boot\ disk/test\ partition\ files/HD.ro_asr.dmg...

Yes it worked without the spaces! I went to an Apple presentation for macs in school labs and the guy who presented it gave out a sheet with tips. Basically by changing the user "admin" who is id 501 to id 499 using Netinfo, you are able to hide the admin accounts to the normal userrs. The...

actually I am trying to change it to another number burt what I am particularly interested in is the spaces and nomenclature. I see that your brackets appear to have no space in the middle am I corrected? Perhaps this is where the error lies.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this argument. I keep getting a ton of errors. the argument appears between the quotes " here it is: "find / -user 501 -exec chown admin { } \;" not sure why it's not working. tia... john

Brad... Try this in the terminal: lpinfo -v if the printer is recognized by your machine it will show up in the list with the addresss path for you. Copy the resulting line into cups, or print center. if you use print center after you open it, hold down the "option" key, then click on...

What do I have to do to login using ssh? Is there anything I need to turn on? What about hosts or keys? Does anyone mind writing a quick How To in the How To section? I can't get it to work across two machines. thx. j.

I am about to try installing a help desk ticketing system on OS X to see if I can get it to run. I have three choices to try, the three choices being; HP, Solaris, and AIX. Does anyone have any experience with these choices and know whether or not they would run at all? Will installing them hose...

...since it has come up here....what's the deal with people saying fink breaks the system. is this true with 10.2?

It is now showing up. Here is what I did...hope it helps someone else...I should also add I do not know which step enabled it. 1. turned on windows file shariing 2. installed gimp print and ghost script 3. turned on samba backend spooling via terminal 4. restarted.

I am trying to print to a printer connected to a Win2k machine and found some docs that stated if I opened print center and held down the option key while clicking on "Advanced" that I would have the option available "Windows printer via samba" but this option is not available. Am I nuts or is...

still hoping someone knows the answer to this issue. haven't gotten any replies.

That's the one that did it. Thanks legacyb4 I appreciate your taking the time to post.

Nope Delta, haven't been playing with themes. So-this is a known issue? I hadn't heard of this. (Maybe I need to read even more then I am already reading!!) I thought it might have had something to do with Jeep Safari ...it syncs my bookmarks in safari with .mac. I will give it a try. Thanks...
