    Migrating Mail from Evolution to Entourage

    the whole point was to get it into mbox. if it already is, then you're one step closer. open entourage and select Import from the file menu. Then select Import information from a text file. then import messages from an MBOX-format text file. you'll be good to go.

    Sharing external hard drive on 2 macs connect by ethernet?

    for what you're doing, you don't need share points. this is done by default when using the mac's built-in file sharing. if you're using the iBook, and you connect to the eMac and you sign in as the administrator, you'll be able to mount any drive connected to the Mac on the desktop of the iBook...

    Powerbook only wakes up when plugged in

    i've seen powerbooks not wake-up from sleep even if plugged into the wall when two variables are met. - battery is to low to power on PB AND - your using a 45W power adapter rather then a 65W (both were available from Apple separately.) to power it on. you can use the 45W, but you have...

    Display problem

    do you have the displays menu item loaded in the menu bar? can you change resolutions from there? if so sounds like the issue is limited to just your System prefs. if you don't have the display menu extra loaded, you can manually load it by double clicking on the .menu file located in...

    Migrating Mail from Evolution to Entourage

    Evolution doesn't have an "export" command like Mac users are used to. However you can select all the eMails in an Evolution folder (Edit > Select All), and then "save as..." to /tmp or wherever you want. This is basically a .mbx (or mbox) file. Entourage will import from an mbx file. Mail.app...

    iTunes sharing fails over airport

    i agree that opening the ports will work fine, however, i've seen in the past that sometimes if you start the firewall and then open a port w/ the GUI, ipfw get's hung up and doesn't put a rule in. cycling the firewall helps sometimes, but just for testing i think it would be good to rule out...

    Modem trouble 9.2 to X

    if you get server not found messages, it means 1 of 2 things. either you didn't get an IP from your ISP when you connected, or at the time that you were trying, your ISPs DNS servers were down - both of which wouldn't be your fault. although it's slower v.34 is very reliable... I'm hoping that...

    Modem trouble 9.2 to X

    i would tend to agree... however i've seen many complaints on many different forums about poor modem performance in X. there are so many variables that it's very hard to get the exact cause of the problem. but it can be done since there's many people out there that use a modem every day with X...

    Exposé on a multi-button mouse

    OK... so you could have a couple of things going on here. For starters, did the USB Overdrive and the middle mouse button stop working about the same time? If so they may be related. If I had to guess w/out looking at your log files to see if there's anything going on, I would say that USB...

    complete crash / no boot possible

    there's nothing that you could have thrown out that would stop it from booting from the optical drive. i'm guessing you've done the "hold the c key down" thing? what about the option key? will the CD show up if you hold down the option key after the chime? (you may need to hit the circular arrow...

    your auto sig denotes 1.25GHz. There has never been a Power Mac Dual 1.25GHz G5 released. 1.8 single processor has been the slowest in the US - and according to apple.com same for Sweden (http://www.apple.com/se/powermac/specs.html). if you're using it in a different computer then the one in...
