For current version look here: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.3/BerkeleyDB-12/ For newer versions that can coexist with OS X Versions, try: http://fink.sourceforge.net http://darwinports.opendarwin.org

Try holding down the shift key immediately after the chime, this will allow you to boot with extensions off. Then, launch Extensions Manager from the control panels (Apple Menu) and enable the Apple extension set only and reboot again.

I don't believe this for a minute. To get Cocoa applications running under windows would take a lot of work on the programmers part, you can just expect a one-click compile for Windows compatibility. Wishful thinking, but it sometimes pays to dream!

This is one of the settings, like those for energy saver, for example, which is only available if you manage the computer account, not the user or group. First, you need to create a computer list. Then you have to add your powerbook to the list (browse for it and create an account). Then you can...

I've had absolutely no problems when loading Word since version X from a network home directory. If your having issues, it might be due to a delay or slowness in DNS resolution. Check using "dig" on the command line and see how long it takes to resolve the addresss of the server hosting the home...

The Lacie BigDisk drives actually have two hard drives made to look as a single drive with a bridgeboard, essentially a stripe set or RAID 0, making it FAR MORE LIKELY FOR COMPLETE FAILURE THAN A SINGLE DISK, as you will lose the contents of both disks if one of the two fails. For that reason, I...

You actually need to delete the Entourage entires from your keychain. I've seen this symptom when someone has tried to set up an Entourage account several times, with slightly different settings, and when it finally starts to sync with the server, it gets confused about which keychain entry is...

Each has its place, but AppleScript is infinitely more powerful. Check out my app--Mac HelpMate. Does entirely in AppleScript and Xcode.

Try downloading stuffit expander from Allume systems. It can usually decode otherwise john-doeish mime-encoded attachments

Well you also have the option of using a tool like DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory. Starting with 10.4.3 you can run fsck from Disk Utility but can't change the drive, only verify that it's OK or not. However, there's one option that doesn't really give you any feedback, and that's to...

The NVRAM command can get you into single user mode for the next reboot. BUT BE CAREFUL. As far as I know, ssh won't work in single user mode, and you'll need a serial port connection to the Xserve (if that's what it is) to control it in single user mode after setting the NVRAM properties like...

You need to connect to the "allowed domain" with the user, which by default uses "servername.local" try that in the Jabber account settings on the clients and you should be able to log in.

Tiger did make some changes to the audio framework. Are you sure the application is supposed to work under Tiger? Will your headset work with iChat AV? If the headset works with other apps, you might want to check the date of release on the Spanish app...

Not only is the update to 10.4.3 free, the number of improvements and fixes it delivers makes the upgrade a must-have.

BRU has command line tools and so does Netvault.

You'd need a kernel extension or some other low-level support to get the tape drive from an iSCSI connection to /dev. Have you ever used BRU from the Tolis Group?

Since he's try to access the tape as a regular device, I would assume that he would try to use a regular command-line tools like ditto, cp, etc. with the drive as if it were a fixed disk. Even Amanda, which can be compiled and cajoled to run under OS X, won't work with tape devices under OS X...

iMac G5s do, rarely, have hardware issues with fans. But Apple fixed it, right?

The only way to recover your deleted Applications folder would be to use a file recovery program like ProSoft's Data Rescue. When file are delted, the directory records that point to the data blocks which hold those files are marked as free space, but much of the data still stays on the data...

Do you know what FTP PASV mode is? You should try that....some providers require it--it's usually a checkbox in the FTP client software--it might require it so long as you're not on BT's network. They also may simply block you if you're not coming from their network, much like many ISPs do with...
