Start up with the original install disk; there is a Password Reset utility in the menu that comes up before any install processes are started. Also Disk Utility, which can perform repairs that can only be done externally.

You could also rename the second one to login2, then add it to your keychain list under the Edit menu of Keychain Access ... so you can inspect its contents and copy over to your login kc any entries you wish. Saving a copy of your keychains to a backup folder - I keep mine in "Shared" - as...

Did it come up on your Software Update? Or have you tried downloading it and starting the install? This and other Apple Updates will tell you, when you go to install them, if you don't need it ... and usually, if you are missing prior updates, what those are. As long as you keep all...

Do you mean Backup? And to your iDisk? The iDisk has always been slow as molasses, years and years. I no longer use dot Mac. If that is the case, there's not much you can do about it ... but Backup can also backup to media, another folder (like in Shared) even an iPod. Not that it's the...

Any problems with apps, Entourage included, start with the simplest things. Have you tried trashing the preferences file? Write down any settings you might forget first ... Since your PC does fine with this connection, it does point to Entourage preferences or Accounts settings becoming...

I'm surprised not to see more of this problem ... and think Xray should come with every Mac. What your suddenly Unix-executable file has done is lost it's Creator, Type and perhaps extension metadata ... happens all the time. So these things need to be added back, and I've used Xray for so long...

somewhere or a window-switching preference set ... think about what's in your /User/Preference Panes ... look thru Shortcuts in Keyboards PP ... and if you have ServiceScrubber (free, and terrific) you will see all the Shortcuts set by apps to use their Services. I delete the ones I don't use...

...TinkerTool System, I believe - and there are very likely others - will fix the symbolic links *and* delete the print queue ... The shareware Printer Setup Repair does absolute wonders to the whole priinting system, making one wonder, If Apple was going to give us CUPS, how about something...

Actually the very first thing to try if you suspect RAM problems is reseating your memory chips. They can come loose, depending on your machine, and it's simple to open the case and do this--depending on your machine. But to answer your question, yes, if you're having no problems with a new...

You pay money for that?

okay, then i won't say it. but what i'm interested in, is not so much the thing itself, but to see what possibilities it opens up.

An archive and install? Your system install disk(s) will walk you through, it's just like an install, except you choose Archive and Install. Couldn't be simpler. And there will be a copy of your Previous System Folder, too, in case you need to move anything over--particularly preferences, so...

Why do you particularly need a .sit archive? Anything you can accomplish without Stuffit and related Allume products, so much the better - and you can do it all. The Unarchiver, YemuZip, any number of free products.

Doesn't sound at all good. You've run hardware test on the G4? Why would anything be wrong with the monitor??

And then you can download The Unarchiver (free) and never have to use Stuffit again, god willin'.

Question 4, I would hang on just a few more months ...

These things happen. I always ask somebody, Is Mercury retrograde. Whatever that means.

Anything readable in Console, System or Crash logs? Sometimes it's obvious. Instead of pasting the whole thing, scan them and see if anything stands out. Any crashing app needs its preferences trashed and a restart. If you keep a cache in Safari, that too. If you're using Stand or any...

First thing I do is install and then print from plain old direct USB, before taking my powerbooks wireless.

There are a number of utilities including Applejack that will clean up virtual memory on restart ... so that would answer that question.
