It would appear that Services still don't work for Carbon apps (I thought I read somewhere that this was not true in 10.1, but it seems that it is), and the Finder is a Carbon app. Try using a Cocoa app (like Omniweb, Terminal, or TextEdit). When you select text in a Cocoa app, you can do...

Today Apple released Ethernet Update 2.0 today. Available for download here . I suspect that will cure your problem

try disabling the following extensions: Authoring Support Firewire Authoring Support These extensions are for CD burning using either Disk Burner (built in to OS 9.1 and up) or iTunes, and may be conflicting with the Toast Extensions. I've had this happen with Toast 4.0.1 and an Iomega...

Actually, I'm and idiot, and missed the "one ethernet port" line. I think both of these utilities require multiple ethernet interfaces. Sorry about that.

I've not used either of these, but they should do the job. I think they are both GUI frontends for the routing built in to BSD: gNAT is in beta and has received mixed reviews. Brickhouse does firewalling and routing. I've used earlier versions for firewalling, which worked well, but as I...

exactly. My guess is that it makes it easier for Apple tech support to get the serial number of your Mac from you, to check for warranty and for problem tracking, etc.

) ?«?i]Originally posted by scott [/i] sandbagger is totally correct - nobody clued in that this happened to two separate HDDs at once. This obviously leads to a wiring issue, a power issue, or a board issue - not a directory or software issue. I forgot to mention, that situation in which...

Serial number of the hardware.

I've had volumes that became invisible that were magically resurrected by Diskwarrior (by Alsoft). When no other tool worked, Diskwarrior found and repair the volumes. I've used this tool extensively, and IMHO it's the best disk utility out there. The newer versions are safe for OSX HFS+ volumes.

There is another was to connect from a Win2k box to a 10.1 box: use sftp. (Don't confuse this with normal ftp. Normal ftp sends everything, including your username and password, in clear text. sftp is entirely encrypted). If you activate "remote login" in the Sharing pane of system...

I think you'll find that Disk Copy (in /Applications/Utilities) will do this for you. I seem to remember that you couldn't make images with Disk Copy in 10.0.x, only mount images, but with 10.1 you can now create device images. You can even burn images directly to CD from within Disk Copy...

I'm having exactly the same problem you are having. Maybe it was developed on one of the later builds, and never tested in the public beta?

I believe that is you were to create this in /usr/template/user then every new user you create will have it in their home directory. (This is equivalent to /etc/skel on other UNIX systems). This directory would also be useful if you wanted every new user to have a custom dock, etc. (just edit...

The iMac started acting up under OS 9, so I sent it for repair and the logic board was replaced. All is well now.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've already tried that as well. I think I'm going to give up on X for now.

Now I'm not so sure that the RAM was actually the problem. After using OS X for several days, I found that it typically can't go for more than 30 minutes without freezing up, which requires a restart. Eventually, it got to the point where it would always freeze on startup when it got to...

Reported it to Apple this morning. FYI, here are the identifiers on the offending DIMM: Hyundai 9934 Korea HYM7V65801 BTFG-10S AA-A PC100-322-620

I pulled the stock 64 MB DIMM out of the iMac, leaving the new 128 MB DIMM I got a couple of weeks ago. Now the installer is working fine! Odd that OS 9 had no problems with this DIMM, and Techtool's memory test didn't come up with any problems.

When I boot from the MacOS X Beta installer CD, the CD drive makes much noise and eventually a window that says "Preparing installation. . ." come up. This has a progress bar with diagonal lines that move for a few seconds, and then the CD spins down and the system freezes. Here are my...
