Hi, tried this with no luck...the instructions that becomes visible when I highlight Windows Sharing says "Windows users can connect to your computer at \\server\sharename" without the smb: prefix. Any other ideas? Thanks..... /Mala

Hi, try to map a nework drive from Win XP to my iMac running Panther. I turned on "Windows Filesharing" in OS X and the "Map Network Drive" from XP but all I get is "The network path \\myimac\myshare could not be found" all the time. Tried FTP as well but that failed too. Ping works between...

Well, if everything is working properly, any .Mac account could talk to any AIM account and vice versa. That's the way it should work, but under som circumstances it doesn't, and that's my problem. Regarding versions, I use iChat on the Mac and the latest (ver 5.9) AIM client on the PC so...

Hi, I don't know if this is the right forum but I'll give it a try, otherwise someone could redirect me.... Anyway, I use my .Mac account for AIM services, both with iChat on my Mac and the AIM client on the PC. It turns out that some buddies (also with ordinary AIM accounts) is not seen as...

OK, I trashed the .plist file (and my menuicons disappeared) and logged out/in, but as soon as i connect the camera the systemUIServer process becomes non-responding again. I can't say I suffer very much (yet anyway) from having this process like this, but it can't be right... /mala

I've experenced lack of responsiveness in my system from time to time so I used Activity Monitor to watch what application that causes this. After connecting my camera (Nikon D70) which in turn launches iPhoto, I discovered that the process systemUIServer doesn't respond. I have no idea what...

I tried to put in the 512 MB SDRAM ECC in my iMac 450 DV+ and the thing didn't even boot. So now we know.... /Mala

Yes, I've now tried the both and for my needs Backup seems to be the choice. Thanks /Mala

So how can I tell if it does or not? If I install it and it works, do we consider ECC supported by the iMac?

Hi, I've got an iMac 450 DV+ with a non ECC SDRAM module in it. Can I add an ECC SDRAM module to use together with the non ECC one? Or Do I have to uset either type rather than mixing them? TIA /Mala

Hi, I'm about to schedule some backup routines on my home Mac as it's now crammed with stuff more or less essential to my life. Since I'm a .Mac member I've got Backup installed but someone recommended Retrospect Desktop instead. How do the two compare? As I already have Backup 2, whould...

Yes, I've tried this and it work as described. It's not optimal though; the need of doing "Add folder to library" each time to have access to songs added to the library since the last time is not the way I'd like it. But I guess it's the way it works at present day. Or?

Hi, me and my wife are sharing iTunes music libraries on the same Mac but with different user accounts. To make my wife see my music library my user account has to be logged in and iTunes started. Otherwise my library won't show up on her's iTunes playlists. Is this really the best way to do...

I guess ffmpegX isn't the easyest of tools. Is there any easyer way to do this? I don't want to do anything else with the movie than make it fit into two CD's? /mala

Hi, I have a 800MB mpg movie I'd like to put on two CD's. How do I make this 800MB file two 400MB files? TIA /mala

Well, I'm about to connect my iMac 450 DV to my TV and I have found out that there are VGA to SCART converters available. But before I run out to buy this $50 piece of electronics, I'd like to know what to expect in terms of quality. I read in Apple Service Source the following; "The iMac DV...

Hi, my original 300 MHz iBook has problems reading CD's I burned on my Formac external CD RW connected to an iMac 450 DV. I can hear the CD drive struggling with the cd, and sometimes it succeeds but sometimes it also fails. As I wanted to use the iBook for watching some videoclips (mpg) it's...

Hmm, I'm afraid I'm a bit confused here. As I see it there are three scenarios here and I really can't say when to chose which; 1) Panther installed with Classic environment installed by default allowing to run OS 9 applications in Classic mode 2) Panther installed and OS 9 installed on...

Ok, I get it. Thanks for yor help! /Mala

Hi, I'm about to reformat the disk in my iMac 450 DV and install OS 9.2.2 on one partition and Panther on the other. Does it matter if I format the disk with the ulility on the OS 9 CD or the OS X CD? Does it matter in what order to make the OS installations? Anything else to think about...
