Here was the plan: 1 NAS (WD My Book World Ed) to hold all of my shared media, music, photos, movies, etc. Today I moved all of my iTunes music via Consolidate Library to the WD, which, btw, is seen as an SMB share point. I have set up a share called "media" with only guest access on. I...

The latest update to iTunes has broken my ability to burn to my Pioneer-DVR 107 DVD burner. It says "No burner software found" - I'm not sure if it is entirely an iTunes issue as I hadn't attempted to burn from a previous version of iTunes after my install of Tiger. So I'm thinking either Tiger...

My LaCie pocket drive (60GB) seems to have died on me. When plugged in via FireWire or USB (with the power adapter) I only get an amber light. When I put my ear to the drive I can hear it spin up and stop, spin up and stop. Not a good sign, eh? I'm pretty sure the drive is toast, but it isn't...

My home folder disappeared last night. I managed to recover it, but the solution was not by any means permanent and this morning has started to show exactly why it was a bad idea. An installer called for a restart so the restart commences and the trouble begins after I log-in (note that...

I'm running 10.2.3 at home, unfortunately, the new company I've just started working for isn't quite ready for the move to X. I need to get my Address Book info over to OS 9, specifically Entourage 2001. Any clues? I've found a piece of freeware that will export my address book at tabbed...

Help! After a series of funky power outages last night (ice on the power lines) my Quicksilver appears to be dead :( This morning pushing the power button on the tower only makes the light on the button pulse once. Similar to the throbbing light you get when it's asleep. I reset my surge...

Okay, this is way weird. I've not made any serious modifications or updates to my OS and all of the sudden the Dock has quit responding to my cursor. I have to envoke the keyboard command to get the dock to unhide itself! If that isn't weird enough, my screen savers have stopped working. I can...

Man, after weeks of uptime in OS X 10.1.2, I install 10.2 and BOOM! Approximately every other day 10.2 just loses it. I'll have seveal apps open, PS, Mail, a browser or two, iTunes, and at some point, one will give me the spinning wheel. After I force quit the offending app, all the others...

I'm having a few issues with rendezvous that I can't seem to nail down. Here's the spec of the set up. Two Quicksilvers networked via 4 port ethernet hub. Quicksilver 867 has a dial-up connection that I share with the 733. The 733 has a USB printer that is shared with the 867. The 733 also...

There are some things that I can't get to work (maybe because I just don't know how?). I have one G4 connected to the internet via internal modem. It's also plugged into a hub that is connected to another G4 across the room. The internet sharing thing is cool simply because now my wife can...

I'm trying to install OS X 10.0.3 on a G4/400 (Yikes). It won't boot from the install CD. Upon restarting I get a gray screen that just sits there. After removing the CD the screen stays gray until I hit the reset button to reboot. The machine boots from a MacOS 9.2 CD and currently has 9.2.2...

Okay, this may seem silly, but there's no such thing as a dumb question. I've been working with OS X since the beta days and I'm still stumped on this one. What would be the proper way to backup and restore your users and their files? I came across this problem when my dad's HD needed a...

Here's one that's a little over my head. My dad can't get Classic to run anymore. He's on a G4/400 (I think), with OS X 10.1.2 and 9.2.2. Well, he just ran the 9.2.2 update and it didn't fix the problem. Before that he was running 9.2.1. Here's the deal. He launches classic and it gets all...

I've recently tried to add an Epson C80 to my Printer List in the Print Center and I get an error..."An unexpected error has occurred. -9624" So, it won't add the printer to the list. I've already downloaded and installed the most recent drivers. The thing is, this is exactly what it did with an...

I was working this morning and was attempting to launch a URL from within Eudora for OS X. I'd forgotten that for some reason it tries to open links with IE 5.1 for OS 9, not X...very strange, but anyway...it immediately started launching IE in Classic...I let it continue launching and in the...

I just want to confirm that I'm not the only one with this problem... After I updated 10.1 to 10.1.2 a couple of strange things have started happening. First, when the machine goes to sleep for a period of time, typically about a half an hour or more, the audio quits working. The volume...

Okay, I was going to let this go as a fluke until it happened twice. I recently got a Kensington TurboRing and installed the MouseWorks software on my Quicksilver 733 at work. I work mostly in OS X, but occasionally I'll have to spend quite a bit of time in 9. This was the case after I...

I've got a Quicksilver 867 with a built in CD-RW. After I use iTunes to burn an Audio CD from OS X I can't play audio CD's unless I restart. They seem to skip, or stall or something, the audio turns real choppy like I'm ripping tracks to MP3 while listening to them on a PM7500 or something. I...

So how do these work? In any given app under OS 10.1 you can go the Finder menu (the one with the Apps name) and there are "Services". Upon expanding "Services" you see Disk Copy, Grab, Mail, etc. But I can't seem to make them work..ever. Regardless of the application that I'm in...even when...
