Hi, Instead of installing System Leopard on my primary internal drive (processor upgraded G4), I decided to upgrade an external "emergency" firewire boot drive. The install apparently went well. There were no aborts, errors, or snags. Upon restart (and booting to the external firewire...

Hi, A forum search for iLife AND 5.0 AND upgrade yielded a lot of messages but a cursory search from there didn't reveal answer; apologies if it was there and I missed it. Searching around on the Apple website was unproductive. I'm a paid user of properly installed iLife 5.0 with purchase...

Hi sgould, Thanks much :D What brand/model do you have/prefer? Cheers, Adonsa

Hi, Performed a cursory search w/o success G-4 667, USB and Firewire capable, but not USB-2 capable. Need to purchase a Secure Digital (SD) media multi-card reader. Looked over a lot of em on various websites, typically manufacturers specs read "USB-2" with no mention of USB...

It's probably good news for them too, now that Sun Microsystems announced a layoff of about 5000 California employees. http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3610331 Coincidentally, Sun is opening a new operation in Hyderabad, India...

Should be obvious. It's not just good news, but great news, for Apple employees in Cupertino, whose jobs might otherwise be vulnerable to offshore outsourcing (offshoring).

Hi Mikuro, This is embarrasing. Another macker helped me to see the light. Here's a brief rundown. Prior to performing the Apple security upgrade, no problem. Afterwards, the elusive and infamous error. I run the patch, Fruit Menu by Unsanity, and Fruit Menu patches out the word...

Hi Mikuro, RE: Bummer, the infamous NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 error happened. I took your advice and booted up on an entirely separate drive,(also with System 10.4.3 and the latest security upgrade) an external firewire drive; then I dismounted all other mounted volumes...

Hi Mikuro, Thanks much for replying. I checked, and it's still on... hmmm, so I made sure that the script has the ellipsis, not 3 dots, then I made sure that universal access assistive devices is enabled. The only thing monumental I had done between the last time the script worked, and...

Hi, This applescript script worked fine until I performed security update SecUpd2005-009Ti to System 10.4.3 tell application "Safari" to activate tell application "System Events" tell application process "Safari" click menu item "Reset Safari…" of menu "Safari" of menu bar 1 try...

PBG4, System Tiger iBook G3, System Tiger Networked - Yes Hi, Is there a way to use an iBook as a 2nd monitor for the G4 (not mirror but as dual)? Thanks much! Adonsa

Hi, Yeah I went out to La Cantera once on a Sunday, it was so crowded i couldn't really look around much. Amazing that much enthusiasm in an area dominated by Pee Cee's. Nice web site, by the way. Adonsa

Hi ElDiabloConCaca, Yes indeed, given that the powered Apple cable runs nearly $100 (ouch), for a 2nd monitor; it'll be more cost effective to go for a 3rd party monitor. Guess I should stop by CompUSA or Altex, or I dunno if the new Apple Store at I10 & 1604 would have any non-Apple...

Hi, I sort of came close to getting the answer by searching around, but I think I'm asking the reverse of queries that others posted. G-4 w/ Radeon 9000 dual output graphics card, Output ports are 1 ADC and the other is DVI-I. I would like to get a 2nd Apple 15" ADC monitor, but will...

Hi fryke, and others. Awesome enlightening replies. I don't remember where I got that 20 million figure a few years ago; could be it was a typo, maybe 200,000 or 20,000. It's been a while, but I used to encounter people just a few years ago who never heard of the Mac, and some who thought...

Bob, did I screw up posting this to the Apple forum? I noticed the message quickly moved, what was my violation? Thanks. Adonsa

Just questions, if I may....... Back when windoze 95 went on sale, CNN reported that the size of the PC community was about 500 million worldwide "and that Microsoft expected everyone to go to Windows..." I read somewhere during that time that the size of the Mac community was 20 million (I...

Heaven help the admin if Steve Balmer finds out. Thanks much for your reply, Adonsa
