    Possible to access Parallels on a Mac Mini from my G5?

    You could use a VNC server on her machine..and then a VNC reader on yours. In the System Preferences - Sharing - Apple Remote Desktop, you can turn on VNC(desktop sharing) - then download Chicken of the VNC for your machine and connect to hers. It works really well over a LAN.. not so well...

    Then I would open the Disk Utility and see if the HD is visible. If it is, you can try to mount it from there.. verify it etc.

    hd problem...please help

    The USB to IDE connector works great.. but not for large HD. You do need an external power source to spin up the drive, so you are 1/2 there. The easiest solution would be to get a USB/Firewire case and stick the drive into that, then hook it up.

    sound problems after 10.4.7 updates

    Since you stated you don't use the emulators often, why worry about sound working or not. I have the sound disabled on my VPC as it takes CPU cycles for the VPC session to create sound. Overhead that I don't wanna use just to have dings in windows. I also turned my video resolution down to...

    Unable to connect to cd-rom, network, or open programs

    You need to open the Disk Utility in the Utilities directory and run 'Verify disk" and also check/repair permissions. The verify disk will probably yield errors and if so, reboot and hold the OPTION S key down. This will give you a text based interface. Kinda scary - just type in FSCK -fy...

    Local logon script for network drive

    There are quite a few applescripts you can use (www.macoshints.com) and place it in the startup for each user or place it in the login items for each account. Also, do a man samba via Terminal in Mac OSX or on the web. SMB is the underlying technology that windows/macs use to share files. you...

    HELP i trashed my iPhoto library

    Nope.... unless you have a good backup. But, as long as you haven't saved any more data to your HD, you can send your HD off to data recovery specialists to get hte data back. But, the more stuff you save, the more likely you won't be able to get data back.

    How to connect an HP4m with an I-Mac

    You have to get a USB to parallel connector. I have the same printer and connect to it via the USB/Parallel Port Connector. Works like a champ. OR you can get a USB print server device and hook that printer to your network.

    I agree. .what is quality to you? Nothing is free.. high quality for video /audio means time.. lower quality, not soo much time. BUT, I am curious. If you do post your results quantatively that would be neat.

    Anyway to play Warcraft 2 on an intel mac?

    Check to see if there is a patch for running WoW on intel based macs. Or, ironically, pickup bootcamp or parallels and run it under windows. I did a bit of diggin on the web... it seems that an intel version is available - first Google blush...

    machine keeps hanging up

    There is lots... but first, is this a new install of 10.4.7? or upgrade? What kind of machine? G4/G5 Laptop? VW? Any system mods? WindowShadeX is a good to muck stuff up with 10.4.7. (For me anyway) How much RAM? Did you check permissions? Run FSCK -fy under single user? Verify your disk...

    In earlier releases, folks were really pissed when you deleted a photo and it was GONE. So, with the iLife 06 they implemented the - gone - but -not - really - functionality for those folks whom don't backup.
