'sudo root' doesnt work for me. 'sudo -s' works, but doesnt ask for a password, just changes the prompt to'machinename:~ root#' - I think I might have set it up with no password! Ca anyone tell me if I'm right, and how to change it. I have not, and don't want to, enable root user...

Ahh thanks - I didnt spot the Folder called 'Developer' in there among the others - I wonder why it didnt turn up in a search? Never mind. Also, it appears to have Package Maker installed in there so maybe I won't need to install Xcode - but I'll know where to look if I'm missing anything...

Hi Just a quick question really regarding compatibility of Developer Tools. I need to install this to make packages for Apple Remote Desktop, however the disc I have is for 10.2 'or later'. (I am running 10.3.8). I tried to install it (why not?) and it optimizes, reaches the end of the...

Thanks everyone but it appears that what I'm looking for is a 'dual monitor kvm switch' - google that and you'll see what I mean. Diablo by the way you can have one screen for two machines - as long as it has two inputs in the back and a signal switch on the front of course!

Thanks Diablo! Sorry, I was actually kind of thinking of KVM but couldnt remember the name of the term, and I still don't think it will work - even if you had an 8-port switcher, one for each video channel - as you could still only select one channel at once, surely? I've never had more than one...

Actually, I've just realised this could be impossible, as to use two screens for each Mac the cards on each mac would have to be connected to each monitor, would'nt they...

Hello One of my users operates 4 Macs, and I need to look at monitor sharing for him - all well and good, but he wants to share 2 screens over 4 Macs, with the screens split for each Mac. The machines, for detail are: G4 350Mhz OS 9.2.2 G4 350Mhz 10.3.8 G4 733Mhz 10.3.8 G4 Dual...

Well, mine's just picked up the Secutiry Update 2004-09-16 - something tells me that ain't right.

When you say 'system' do you mean it releases to batches of users at a time to spare bandwidth or something? I don't think its a firewall issue, the updates themselves are very quick (we're on a 128Mb pipe) and it pops up itself if it is set to check automatically, I've never had a failed update...

Why has this only popped up on my machines now? Yes, my machine at home is set to check only weekly and it came up last night at midnight, but I have checked software update at work every day and it didnt come up until today! Is there some setting that means it just checks again what updates...

Ooh thanks I was wondering if I could just take it to the Apple Store. Well, I still think theres a good chance a hard reset will fix it - unfortunately I am not in London today (but am every other weekday normally - its just these fortnightly Fridays where I go Up North, hence my extreme...

Thanks for pointing this out - I didnt actually know what a soft reboot was until you said that. I'm pretty I actually did try this, as its logical if the turn-off command is the centre button and the play button that this might achieve something. Unfortunately I have only just now been able to...

Hello. I got a brand new 20Gb iPod at Christmas (so its about 3 weeks old, although I have only been using for the last two). I currently have about 3000 songs on it in AAIFF, not .mp3. After about an hour's use this morning, I selected a different playlist and it froze. Completely...

"Some in the discussion forum said the problems followed shortly after they installed an update to Windows XP Service Pack 2. " Hmmmm...

Been having this probs on one of our G5s in Safari - I posted an earlier thread about language in Safari - someone told me the weird jumbled-up numbers effect was actually Gudgerati (yes, and I believed them, no I didnt look properly). Anyway, can confirm removing Helvetica Fractions fixes it...

I have successfully used an OS 9.2 G4 Install CD to build a Blue and White G3 in the past.

Hello everyone. I have a slight problem with safari - it keeps displaying one of my web pages in Gudjerati (at least I think its Gudjerati). I know its not a problem with the website as IE displays the same page in English. In Safari, the drop-down boxes on the page are still in English. I...
