Ah! Great! :) After all these years, I never realised that was there!! :rolleyes:

I have bought some new speakers that plug into the headphone socket. They are quite loud. But the "click" noise when you use F11 & F12 keys on the laptop to adjust the volume is now really loud and almost painful. Is there a way to silence the clicks? I would like to be able to bring the...

Do these sites use Flash? Apple turned off Flash by default in their latest upgrades. You may need to turn it on again in Preferences.

Just to round this off.... The kit arrived and to my surprise, it came with two PCMCIA slots :) It's so you can keep the settings for two different car models on it. But there is also an option to put a blank card into one slot and copy the other to it! :D It's nice to be able to save money...

Looks to be just the thing. :) I've found a source for one in the UK. But, as usual, it's £50 not $50. We aren't known as "rip-off Britain" for nothing.....

Next week I will take delivery of an electronic tool for checking settings on my car. It's a bit of equipment that has been around the industry for a long time and the memory is held on a 32MB PCMCIA card. I would like to make a back-up of it as soon as it arrives, in case it gets corrupted...

It made the inside pages in the UK newspapers. But you're right, it would have been worse if it was Apple. I think this applies to any leading brand in and area. I can't remember the details, but some years ago one of the European car makers changed their leather supplier and sent out...

Would there have been a problem with the two partitions being different formats? One HFS+ and one Journaled HFS+ ? I thought I had them all as Journaled to match the iMac. Could it have changed itself? Probably not as I could copy all the files off. Is there any app that can give the disc a...

Yes. It's always a worry when odd failures happen. But it's not my Time Machine. That's on a 2TB G-Drive (!!) and I've had it for 18 months with no problem.

I copied all the files from the bad disc, reformatted the disc and copied it all back. It seems to be OK now. But I will keep an eye on it.

Recovery software might work if it has just been erased once. I ;looked at Disk Warrior but it was quite expensive, and it may not work.

The Verify list from Disk Utility has a comment in the last line about "ACL". Is this anything odd?

I have just tried the "Get Info" window. And all permissions are greyed out and don't change when the lock is unlocked.

I'm doing something wrong. I can't get Terminal to work like that.... But I have to make some corrections to the info I gave. Another Oooops!! Apologies. G-Drive-4.1 is a 2TB partition on the 4TB G-Drive HD. It is formatted HFS+ G-Drive-4.2 is the other partition, also 2TB, but...

Ooops! Yes it's HFS+ format. Last time I reset PRAM was on the iMac just after I bought the HD when the display failed. How does PRAM reset affect an external disc? I thought it only reset the iMac. Had another look with Disk Utility. The option is there to Verify both partitions, but the...

I've had the drive 8 weeks. It's the USB connection. The disc will do USB3. My iMac does USB2 (mid-2010 model - bought Dec 2010).

When I start-up my computer in the morning, I'm getting a message that says "Mac OSX was unable to repair the disc "G-Tech 4b". You can read and copy files from this disc but you cannot modify or add files. Backup and reformat disc as soon as possible". G-Tech 4b is one of the two...

If you look at your Time Machine disc via the finder, not the Time Machine itself, can you see more than one backup? The backup item that is used by Time Machine is called "Backups.backupdb" on my disc. If you open it, it will show the computer being backed up and then the dates of all the...

Well, touch wood. Twelve days now and still working OK.

OK.. I lied!! I found some Crucial memory and bought it. So I have just installed 2 x 4GB RAM and it's all working a lot snappier. I ran into one scary moment. After installing, I got a blank screen and "three bongs" on start-up. I reinstalled the original but it was still the same...
