Help! iMac 24 inch, Leopard, get's stuck on the apple screen during startup. The spinning "pre-loader" simply freezes. Here's an odd thing ... the same thing happens if I try to boot from a CD (applecare tech tool pro disk and various other utility disks I have). Here are some things I've...

Thanks Major, but in the spirit of the question those solutions all involve re-inventing the wheel (although I guess I don't have to invent flash!).

Does anyone know of a way to create something like this: http://www.postini.com/webdocs/training/en/email_admin/email_admin.html I could create something from scratch but it has the feel of something that must have been done already dozens of times. Whoever put this together used a windows...

When playing Raven Shield and also Second Life, I get frequent (within 5 minutes to sometimes half an hour) hard crashes that start with the top half of the screen going dark (like a visor dropping down!). This is usually accompanied with some sort of loop going round and round in the audio...

really can't find an answer online about this one - would have through it would be ok but there's absolutely no mention of backwards compatibility - anyone actually using an SATA 1 drive in a Mac Pro?

Does switches show up in the output - I've not seen this before on the readouts of my other routers. It doesn't have a hostname. How can I positively ID it so...

I want to arm myself with some software that will recover me from any HD troubles should they arise. Any suggestions on the best software for this. I was looking at TechTool, but it has luke warm reviews in some places.

found it... /usr/lib/cron/tabs

Where did they move the leopard user crontab?! I just can't find it

Has anyone setup their Leopard machine to act as a Subversion server and host repositories on it? It looks like Apache 2 is now the default install, maybe there's an easy way to get subversion up and running now?

Ah! Splendid - thanks :)

The network icon at the top of the left pane of my finder window is mising. I have the feeling i may have accidentally dragged it out and dropped it. Does anyone know how to put it back - I don't seem to be able to do it.
