    Apple Remote Desktop capabilities??

    There is a menu command to allow copies, and it also allows control of the desktop so you can manipulate the remote computer as if you were there. You will need to have a specific port open to allow ARD to work, and it has to be open on both ends. I played with this last night on 2 remote...

    Useless internet connect warning

    Then go to Show menu and choose Port Configurations. In here uncheck the Internal Modem choice. Now drag it (grab with mouse) and move it to bottom of list and move Ethernet to top if not there already. Uncheck any other connections you do not use like Bluetooth as well. Hope this helps...

    iSight game

    But took no time at all to get bored with it. I bought the app after using the demo which was pretty cool and all, but after using the app for about a day, I won't pull it up anytime soon. Maybe for my girlfriends 7 year old, but I can't see using it anymore myself. Mikey

    Looking for a VPN solution

    I seem to remember setting up a VPN router to router tunnel with those routers and nothing else. Netopia helped me with the setup and actually logged in and fixed a few mistakes I had made. The tunnel allowed two way communication and was between PA and Delaware. I heard no complaints about it...

    mp3 edit

    It is a very good editor that supports MP3's. I just used it to edit MP3's I got from ripping a few VHS tapes I have so i could listen to soundtrack. Inexpensive and works as expected. http://www.hairersoft.com/ Hope this helps. Mikey

    iMac 400 screen

    If this is a 5 year old iMac, then you could be seeing the Power/Video board going bad. I have about 15 of these in a law office and I have had 5 of them repaired so far with various degrees of black border showing up. Usually it starts out with the video in the proper size at a cold start, but...

    12 kernal panics a day; determining cause?

    I think this is a good idea, but would have no effect on booting from CD. Mike

    Finding old Macs

    They often have Macs for sale at ridiculous prices because they don't know what they are worth. Also, when I am at clients working, I always ask if they have a 'closet'. You know, the one where all the old computers go to die and wait for dust to eat them. Most companies will readily give...

    12 kernal panics a day; determining cause?

    Panic is limited (at least in this log file) to CPU 1. I wonder if maybe it is a little loose or maybe going bad. All the log entries are for CPU 1 so I am concerned you may have a bad processor or at least a bad mounting. What seems even stranger is it kept playing iTunes (probably CPU 2). This...

    12 kernal panics a day; determining cause?

    There are some nice tests out there, also included with the OS. TechTool does mem tests as well as your Hardware test disc if you got one with the Mac. I hope the memory swap works, it seemed to help others with G5's and lots of kernels. And i'm not talking popcorn. Mikey

    Panther or Jaguar as a Server?

    I would bet you a dinner or a six-pack I could find more machines logged in and sitting at the Finder than at the login screen. I just like the low overhead of Linux versus the baggage of a GUI. Actually would rather do all my work in Terminal, but that's cause i'm old.... :D Mikey

    12 kernal panics a day; determining cause?

    I have heard lately that folks are removing the Apple ram and having these errors go away. Did you try that? Put the Crucial back in and see what happens. Mikey

    Panther or Jaguar as a Server?

    My son wanted to do the same thing and he chose Linux on a PC instead. You can do the same thing on the G3, without the GUI overhead of Panther or Jaguar. Just a thought, Mikey

    Worrying about the Health of my iMac

    El Diablo is most likely correct in that the battery is probably weak. The iMacs rely on this for many things and a weak one can cause havoc on the logic board which in turn may cause a file system error or a bad pref file to be written or updated. I would get the battery replaced and reset...

    Panther and Firewire enclosures

    I have had it for 2 years now and have had no problems whatsoever. I use it with CCC all the time and have used it to boot dead Macs as well. I think the problems associated with FW800 are real but not going to affect a FW400 user. At least that has been my experience so far and I like the...

    Funny mailer-daemon messages - :confused:

    Your email address was in someones address book on an infected machine. That machine is now spewing spam out and uses the address as the sender by putting your name and others in the Reply To field at random. This is why you got the response. Just ignore them and throw them out. You did not...

    Biege G3 and HDD's

    All G3's had the sled in that slot, just nothing mounted to it. You would need to find screws for it, but the sled was always there. I have several older Macs. If you want, I can look and see if I have the sled and screws and could send them to you. mikey

    Need Help with LaserWriter Select 360

    Both manufacturers make replacement cartridges for the Apples. I am fairly certain you can get one for the Select still as I have a client who still uses his and he has no problem getting carts for it.
