    mail.app stuck talking to imap server

    If the mail is bad, mail will try to load the bad mail. The mail is still on the imap server (but not on the pop3 server). SO the mail causing the is gone for fetchmail, but not for imap (and mail app). Good luck, Kees

    mail.app stuck talking to imap server

    You can try to access the fetchmail account with WEBMAIL and delete the message(s) with webmail. Afterwards mail should work again fine. Also you can try to have mail not fetch the mail from the account before you cleaned up the account. Most likely the message is damaged and that will...

    Restart the server or have it reload the updates. Does any system sees the updates or absolute none. In the latter case the sus is not working oke. At least a restart will be required.

    Leopard family pack: PowerPC and Intel?

    Are you talking worldwide or US only. I wanted to make clear that even for 1 country, a single version (language) is normally not enough. You can not expect to have a shop having 10 versions of the same program (only different languages) on stock. Just wait and see, maybe has made...

    MacPro not recognizing eSATA drive

    Does the system recognise the card at all (about my computer). Also check in slot 3 if the card works at all (even at low speed). At least for testing this is quite usefull, if the card and drives work, you know it must be something with the (combination of te card and the) slot. Good...

    HDD I/O Error

    If the harddrive is bad, you hear it very often clicking. This is not always the case, so no 100% conclusion if you do not hear it click. If it clicks, very likely (99%) the drive is bad. You should be able to access the harddrive and see if any partitions exist and/or at least be able to...

    Leopard family pack: PowerPC and Intel?

    Not every one in the us will use the english / us only version (spanish will be a good second). Also in general you can select what you want to install (requires advance selection) and normally gives you the chance to include / exclude what you do not want. I guess apple is smart enough to...

    Windows shares auto dismount

    I have a similar problem, but the other way around. I understood this was a bug (or feature) of mac os, were under MAC OS 9 (shares get dismounted after some random time, either being accessed or not) to a MAC OS 10.4 server. This was part of a change in the ATFP and might be related to this...

    Changing IP Address and MAC Address Spoofing

    Changing the ip-address is done with the network pane in the configuration panel. Select the network card, set it to manual (normally not advisable) and enter the required IP-number / Netmask / Gateway address. I have no idea how to change the mac address. Good luck, kees

    I was just making the differentation as different numbers were posted, and it is confusing if you are not sure which share is meant. Still it is fun to see the reactions on this subject. Keep on going, Kees

    How many peoples use mac os instead of windows?

    What is market share: 1) Percentage of MACs sold per year 2) Percentage of Users using MAC 3) Percentage of Users using a certain OS for at least some time Remember that also a lot users are using multi-platform, so while 100 systems are sold, maybe the number of OS used on those...

    Several issues concerning Account names and Login Options - PLEASE HELP!

    If you change the name of the HOME directory (the one with the HOME icon), that map gets diconnected from the user. One way to get it back is to rename it back to its original name, or create another user with the (i think short) name of the new name. Short names are in general not changed as...

    .Mac Mail Duplicate Incoming Emails

    If you use pop3, it is possible to have the server NOT delete messages move to your mailbox. In that case you could get duplicate messages, but in general only when using different computers. Good luck, Kees

    macbook hard drive clicking = hard drive failure?

    If you wait until then, be sure to lose information (unless you make a backup from every thing you do). Also cloning a drive is a lot faster and if done well, you will keep all settings completely up to date. Otherwise a restore might be needed and even worse, data assumed to be oke can be...

    Mac Pro powers itself down at boot

    Either this is a glitch (one time only thing) or the harddrive is bad and looses some information at random. If you have only a short period of warranty left, maybe consult an authorised dealer for how to procede (what if the problems occurs a couple of weeks after warranty expires). If the...
