    10.2.4 killing iBook / PowerBook battery

    Yes, AppleCare meanwhile confirmed that they will send me a replacement batt for free. I called them multiple times until they offered me that. This has been just 2 days ago so I'm still awaiting it.

    access ext3 partition

    You need a Darwin kernel driver for the ext3 filesystem. I don't know if such exists but as far as I read I don't think so. http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Darwin/General/KernelProgramming/Filesystem/index.html

    cc compiler problem

    Which OS X version? Which DevTools Version? The problem you describe is likely to occur if you forgot to re-install the DevTools after updating OS X (happened to me after the 10.2.4 update, re-installing the DevTools cured it).

    How can I delete "busy" files w/o being a developer?

    I read about this solution several times. On Unix, it is well possible to remove a "busy" file with the rm command. However, this will only rid the file's entry from the directory while the file itself (the contents) remain. That is, the space on your disk occupied by this file will not be...

    Problems with Terminal (Newbie)

    What I don't understand is that since somebody must have this configured once why can't you just ask her how she did that? Terminal just opens a shell (you can configure which one - by default it is tcsh). This in turn normally executes the global /etc/profile script on startup. Have you had...

    problem deleting a file

    Reboot your Mac. This will release the file from any process which uses it. Although there might be other options how to resolve this, IMO this is the most simple solution.

    Powerbook G4 battery

    So the mainboard has been exchanged due to this particular problem? Or is it a new problem? In the latter case, I would call AppleCare and ask for a solution.

    Renaming file-extention in the terminal?

    You probably forgot to make that file executable. chmod +x rename this sets the x-permission (execute bit), that's it.

    X11 Forwarding Solaris Desktop

    Just a note because idavidson initially referred to X11 *forwarding* which is different from manually setting the DISPLAY variable: If you ssh -X to a remote machine the X11 port is automatically forwarded to the remote machine. This means that the remote ssh daemon will setup an appropriate...

    Renaming file-extention in the terminal?

    Please try: for i in Beasty* ; do echo $i ; done You should see that the file names contain blanks, hence the error. Has nothing to do with bsd or linux. So to correctly process these file names you should quote them, as in: for i in Beasty* ; do mv "$i" "$i.mp3" ; done This should...

    10.2.4 killing iBook / PowerBook battery

    Get X-Charge, then run it and let your fully-charged battery discharge until your PowerBook goes to emergency-sleep (i.e. let X-Charge monitor the discharging of your battery completely). Next, connect the power plug, wake-up the Book and let X-Charge monitor the entire charging process...
