    Removing a Partition

    [I've searched the posts back 6 months, but nothing there for my question.] I very recently bought a G3 iMac 600. The seller did everything right and presented me with a clean install of Panther. However he also partitioned the 40 Gb HD into 20 and 17 respectively, with the OS on the larger...

    What's Been Messing With My Network?

    Every time I access my Network Settings, I am repeatedly advised/warned that the settings have been changed by another Application (see att.). No matter how many times I click OK, the warning returns. I have to get in mighty quick and Quit between warnings. I have repaired permissions and...

    Connection Conundrum

    I couldn't connect to some sites eg. Seatubes wouldn't work, said there was no internet connection, Apple Update said the same thing, but I had no trouble whatsoever with sites like this one, YouTube, BBC, plus several others. So what gives? HTTP Proxy, that's what. Firefox 2.0.0.16 btw. *But*...

    eMac Hard Drive Replacement

    About a month ago my eMac experienced some disk damage when a command overload caused chaos. Eventually the "Keys Out Of Order" fault was determined. This fault is, apparently, fixable with the use of Disk Warrior, an expensive exercise. Apple DU from the original disks cannot repair the fault...

    Duplicated Login Item

    I have a duplicate item, namely Expander Daemon, in Sys Prefs > Accounts > Login Items. The first one heads a list of 7 items in total. It says its Kind is Unknown. The second ED is at the end of the list and its Kind states Application. Is it safe to remove the first ED?

    Logging In

    When I log in, User Name is duplicated beside and within the text field. It would be very helpful not to have to click within the text field to remover the text that's there. Okay, I know it's just a click away, but it's unnecessary. What about a flashing cursor in the field instead?

    To fellow audiophiles out there: Which FM transmitter [a.k.a. broadcaster, sender] would you recommend for connection to my computer so that I can broadcast my large collection of music in iTunes to various other audio units here and there about my home? I know of the Belkin, Cygnet and...

    iMac G5 PPC, OS 10.4.11 A Fuji S5700 camera with 1 Gb SD card connected via USB cable to the iMac. Two movies on the card will not transfer to the iMac via iPhoto (automatically opens), or via the card reader in a Canon printer. The movies do show in the LCD display of the camera...

    Transfer Pics from Mobile Phone

    Sanyo 3100 mobile phone, data cable (USB), BitPim 3rd-party software. The eMac recognises the camera as an extra drive or volume (or it did) but I'm unable to extract some quite valuable photographs with BitPim. Does anyone know of software that will effectively make a Sanyo 3100 phone...

    Image Capture

    G4 eMac 1.25, OS 10.4.11 I have a musical performance dvd from which I wish to capture one snapshot. It is a 'moment in time' and I'd like to use the shot as a screensaver. The MacOS won't allow screen shots with either Cmd-shift-3 or 4 while viewing the dvd, even when the movie is paused. Does...

    Slow to Empty Trash

    G4 eMac 1.25, OS 10.4.11 My eMac HD has less than 10 Gb capacity remaining. I have started the process of moving seldom or un-used applications to an external hard drive (which is working just fine) and then deleting permanently the duplicate applications from the eMac HD. I have used both...

    Maximum eMac Hard Drive Capacity

    G4 eMac 1.25, OS 10.4.11 What maximum capacity of internal hard drive can I put inside my eMac? 250 Gb drives (in NZ) are selling for under 40c/Gb, and I definitely need to increase the hard drive size in the eMac. The present installed HD in the eMac is a Seagate Barracuda ST340015A, manuf...
