    Mac Mail/Muliple Account SIgnatures

    I'm having the same exact problem. Tried rearranging my accounts in the Accounts tab (and quitting/relaunching) and I still get the same signature no matter which account the replied-to message came into. Luckily it's my business sig. Can't recall which email account I created "first" - I've...

    No longer able to connect to XP PC

    I decided to make my PC more secure by adding a password to the guest account and my own account. I also said to make my home folder private. Now when I try to log on from the Mac (OS 10.3.8), I double click on the alias in the Network window (Finder), get the dialog with the (MS) network...

    Migrating MySQL databases from 10.3 to 10.4 install

    Everyone keeps telling me how cool Tiger is, but the number one reason I'm not upgrading is, I have about 10 MySQL databases (I'm a developer) all set up in MySQL and I'm afraid of having to recreate them when I upgrade. Is there somewhere these databases live that I could just move them over...

    Newb wondering about security using built-in webserver

    I'm relatively knowledgeable about many things technical, but my security knowledge is weak. I set up mysql & php (to run an application I developed) on a client's OSX 10.4 (tiger) server. Now they're thinking about opening a port to the outside world (using port forwarding on their dsl...

    Server 10.4 - where is mysql .ini file?

    Hey, that locate command is cool! So, does MySql just know to look in /etc/ for a file called my.cfg?

    Server 10.4 - where is mysql .ini file?

    Really - so it doesn't exist from the get-go? I find that hard to believe - there must be quite a few initialization parameters already set up in a config file somewhere. I say this after reading this...

    Server 10.4 - where is mysql .ini file?

    I can't seem to find the mysql .ini file in Tiger server. I believe it's called something like my.ini. Any idea what the path is? - Bob

    CD won't mount - help!

    I've got a CDR (burned on a PC) that previously mounted, and now won't. Tried in both iBook and G4 (with Pioneer DVR-107 drive). Opened Disk Utility and it showed up. Selected it (thinking maybe I could mount it) but the Mount button stayed grayed out. Is there some trick for mounting...

    WPA password to Netgear router not working

    Ahh - there WAS no "WPA personal"! I thought installing off the Panther CD (10.3.1-ish) and combo-updating to 10.3.8 would update Airport, but I guess it didn't. Ran the separate Airport software update and lo and behold, there's WPA personal, and it now it all works just fine. By router...

    WPA password to Netgear router not working

    I just did an erase & install on my wife's 12" Powerbook - old system was getting really draggy and messed up. Now when I go to connect to our Netgear wireless router, I enter the password (I use the "Password" option as opposed to any of the bit-length encryption options for a WPA password...

    iBook battery icon "x", power problems

    Turns out the battery was toast - the electronics in it anyway. New battery works fine. Too bad it doesn't match the white of my iBook.

    iBook battery icon "x", power problems

    On my otherwise well-behaved G3 iBook (12"), I'm now getting an X through the battery icon in the menu bar. When the iBook is asleep, the power cord end glows orange. But when it's awake, the end glows green. The battery's indicator lights are all four lit up, suggesting it's fully...

    FreeHand - upgrade to MX or stick with 10?

    Have you tried 11.02? The (deeply buried) release notes say it fixes the layer palette click-n-crash http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19162 Seems to fix a lot of things, actually.

    FreeHand - upgrade to MX or stick with 10?

    Yeah, I've been giving some thought to Illustrator myself. Pros: broader support, more 'respect' in the printing industry and among other design firms. Maybe fewer bugs, or different. Macromedia's lousy bug-fixing history. Undoubtedly better PDF creation. Cons: slower, huge files, limited...

    FreeHand - upgrade to MX or stick with 10?

    I'm currently using FreeHand 10 (Mac OS X) and while it's a bit buggy, I've mostly got it working. But there are a few nagging issues I'm getting tired of, and wondering whether MX fixes these, and/or makes other improvements that would make an upgrade worthwhile. The specific issues I...

    Photoshop suddenly slow

    Hmmm - no ideas eh? I updated to 10.3.7 (combo, permissions, diskwarrior) and reinstalled Photoshop. Still slow. This is on my desktop G4 933 with 1 GB RAM. On the other hand, Photoshop runs quickly on my G3 iBook with less RAM. Running 10.3.6. Please - any suggestions? This is...

    iTunes 4.5 freezing

    Think I figured it out. I've got a MOTU PCI-324 digital audio card (driving a 2408) installed. The PCI-324 does not get along with Panther, according to numerous reports I've found online - my symptoms fit the description of the problem pretty well. My options are to upgrade the card to a...

    Photoshop suddenly slow

    I recently updated (combo, permissions, diskwarrior) to 10.3.6. Now Photoshop 7 is slow as molasses for certain things. Launch seems to take forever - about a minute. The color picker is also incredibly slow - I get the pizza wheel when I click on it, and tabbing through the color fields is very...

    Upgrading internal drive - advice?

    Interesting. According to the G4 manual I can use up to ATA-6 drives, but according to Sys. Profiler the card is ATA-4. Who makes a card? Anything tricky about changing to a different controller? - Bob
