OS X Server and OS X have little support for tape devices at all. As a matter of fact, I've never seen support for tape devices as regular drive devices on Mac OS since an OS 9 hack called Desktape, about ten years ago. It certainly sounds like your a linux admin, so you'll know that linux...

From someone who had to support (and carry) and fix (open and close) eMacs, I won't miss 'em. I'm sure some model with an LCD is forthcoming. When the Intel Macs hit the channel, we'll most likely wonder how Apple kept the eMac in the lineup for as long as it did...

Apple's got some good PDFs on its site with advice on how to use Font Book. You Control: Fonts is supposed to replicate some of Type Reunion's features. Personally, I find that most advanced graphics software like the Adobe CS apps have Type Reunion capabilities built in. Suitcase XI is...

If you're using OS X 10.4, and would like to remove files installed by Apple's Installer program, you can use my utility, Mac HelpMate, to inspect the receipts left in /Library/Receipts, then manually removed the files.

I've seen such issues when a mouse would be plugged into the back of an Apple Display. If your is, try moving it to the rear of the computer and see if that helps.

We find that Kerio is a fantastic value for our Enterprise customers, and that those willing to take the time to tackle learning how to administer OS X Server Mail will find it's not so bad. Besides, it's possible the problems are either router or DNS related, which wouldn't go away if you...

We don't reccomend our customer purchase spare parts kits. We keep on on hand at all time for our customers with Xserves and also make sure that the Apple Retail stores we work with keep one on hand for our customers to whom they sell Xserves. This way, we make sure than all of our customers...

Sometimes, when reverse dns is in play (like when you have some strange broadband or have been playing with DNS on your router or with a DynDNS client), the url will be reported as the reverse lookup (PTR) record. This appears to be the case here. I've seen it before.

Type reset-nvram set-defaults reset-all if the problem persists, you may have a serious issue with your RAM chip. If you have two, pull one, or try to find a temp replacement.

Make sure you have write access to the actual folders that contain the games themselves.

One of your devices is defective. Isolate the bad one and replace it can anyone? give me any idea as to why this is happening? HOW DO YOU REBUILD THE DESKTOP on OSX? - you don't, but there's other things to do..... if there is such a thing? is this what is up? Try my application, Mac...

My utility, Mac HelpMate has a feature that allows you to look up system errors. -36 is an I/O file system error. Repair permissions, and restart your computer, that should fix it if it isn't a very serious issue.

This rings a bell--it is something like the Quake II graphics engine config file. It seems you might have a corrupt file. Try clearing any files named default.cfg, or make sure the permissions on your game folders allow you write access.

I get the same question from users of my application, Mac HelpMate as well. It's not a big deal, quite normal.

It's possible you replaced your 17inch display with one from an older model. I know that the brand new 17inch powerbooks have a larger display. Hope this helps...

It's a known issue that you can't use optlock on smb shares that are also shared over afp, even though Tiger is supposed to support unified locking.

You'll need to install a copy of the Squid proxy cache, and configure it use the ISA server as a parent server. If you install authoxy, you'll be able to authenticate via NTLM from the Xserve, making it completely transparent. You can get authoxy (it's free and open-source) here...

Video issues on the G3 iMacs after an upgrade to OS X are common. If you still have your OS 9 folder on there, boot in OS 9, then see if any firmware updates are offered via the Software Update control panel. Apply any offered firmware updates. Otherwise, try changing your colorsync profile...

The flashing icon can mean many things, including: 1. a dead hard disk 2. a PRAM or NVRAM issue 3. a corrupt OS installation 4. an "unblessed" system Boot off another system CD, Disk Utility should give you many more clues....

If your bundled DVD is over 5 gigs, it's a dual layer dvd and as such it might be tough to image with Disk Utility and burn. However, you can create a read/write image of an install DVD and customize the contents, but it's tough. If you're having a lot of issues, you might simply order new media...
