(It looks like you accidentally resurrected a thread from 2006. :) ) Welcome to MacOSX.com! Soft Windows was similar to Virtual PC and had similar speed and compatibility problems, though it may have been somewhat faster. I never used it. You mention that you're having translation...

On 10.5.4, I found it under About This Mac > More Info > Hardware > Power D

I think it's certainly appropriate to be cautious when upgrading. Are you running the server version of Tiger? I have heard a lot of good things about Leopard Server. You may also want to post in the OS X Server forum here on MacOSX.com. Ask the people who hang out in there what issues they've...

Has anyone heard anything about iPod touch software? It doesn't show up in iTunes, and the above link is only for iPhones. D

Bruce, Apple misunderstood. You don't need help with iDVD, you have a defective DVD drive. It's covered under warranty for a whole year. I'd take it to an authorized Apple dealer for a warranty repair. Explain how all you can make are defective discs and the error message in both Finder and...

Thanks, VirtualTracy. But I don't see anything about backing up the extra, optional $20 iPod touch software update that included Mail, Stocks, Weather, Google Maps, and so on. I don't want to lose the update and have to pay again. Maybe that's not even an issue. I'd like to find out for sure. D

Here's a question I haven't seen asked or answered: How do I back up the $20 software update for my iPod touch? Yes, I was a sucker and bought it (and glad I did). Where does the update live so I can back it up? I am using Time Machine, but I'd like an alternate method. D *EDIT* Here's a...

The Airport Extreme should work fine as NixGeek said. The iBook isn't too old. I'm using one at work. 1. Try rebooting your router. Pull the the power cord on it and then plug it back in. If that doesn't work, have you tried resetting your wireless router? There likely is a tiny reset button on...

Bruce, It sounds like you have a hardware problem with your DVD drive. You'll need to call Apple. Look in your documentation. There's a number for AppleCare. Explain the steps carefully, what you did to attempt to fix the problem, and the fact that you ended up with several defective discs...

It was very interesting to "ride" in the fire truck, and I enjoyed watching MLK Jr.'s speech again. Amazing. Thanks! D

Often kernel panics are caused by hardware issues, such as bad RAM or a motherboard problem. Unplug all non-essential USB and Firewire devices as you troubleshoot to eliminate them as a possible problem. You might want to try this if you haven't already: 1. Boot from your 10.4 installation...

You're going to want to find a Firewire enclosure, since your iMac's USB ports are 1.1 and very slow. You can go to www.pricewatch.com and search for--> firewire hard drive enclosure You can also try a major retailer, but the prices will likely be lower if you use pricewatch. Putting your...

File Vault too? Ouch. That means your home folder is one big disk image file. Surely it's corrupted. I don't think even Drive Savers would be able to help you. They'd likely have to recover the file intact to be able to unlock it with OS X. And the odds of your home folder not being corrupt are...

Wow. That's all I'm gonna say. Doug

Of course, formatting destroys all data. You'll have to have a really good backup first. Doug

Before Drive Savers or just giving up completely, you might consider DiskWarrior (hard drive repair utility) or FileSalvage(file salvage utility). Both are close to $100. I've seen the underlying task failure before with Disk Utility. My assumption is that DU runs into a problem it can't fix...

If you're willing to pay money, you might look at FileSalvage from SubRosaSoft. I've heard good things about it. As the name implies, it is a file salvage application for seriously messed up hard drives. Yours seems to fit the bill. $80 download $90 cd Best of luck. Doug
