you can change the passwords of users/root by using the OS X install disk that came with your machine, assuming your computer came with Jaguar if not, a retail jaguar cd will work when the installer comes up, click on the Installer -> change password and follow the instructions hope...

I'm trying to trim down one of my firewire OS X partitions to 700mb or less so I can burn it to a cd. It has all my utilities, etc. that I can make a diagnostic cd out of. BootCD doesn't install the BSD subsystem so you only have a half-functional OS X system. I'm down to approx. 800mb...

yes you can, but it has to be two airport extreme base stations and not the older models. the older base station models had to have a physical LAN connection.

I'm trying to write a script to automatically open Filemaker, look up a remote host, and open the different database windows without having to do it manually every day. I've started it, but I can't get it to open even 1 object that I tell it to. Here's what I've got so far: tell...

Yeah I tried that ... installed both gimp-print and the postscript/ghostscript stuff.... the printer didn't show up in the device list although the printer was plugged in and turned on... I know the printer works fine because I print to it from my pc all the time. -Taz

I think I've tried everything from using CUPS to completely erasing all printer drivers using the Print Center Repair Utility and fresh install of my epson driver from the original CD. Here's the problem: Everytime I try to add the printer it tells me the driver is not installed and therefore...

Ok... I think I got everything fixed... I searched google for the weird netinfo console error and found a command to totally disable netinfo from searching for a "master" server..... now what this has to do with launching apps is beyond my comprehension, but it seems to have fixed the...

I've tried fsck to no avail... nothing seems to work. I upgraded from 10.1.5 to 10.2 using the normal 'upgrade' option. I'm on a pismo powerbook 500/640 RAM/30gig. When the apps bounce in the dock, nothing happens.... no hard drive spinning for the app launch process.... nothing.... just the...

Ok, yeah..... I may be a unix newbie, but I am familiar with the command line and the basic unix commands in the tsch shell.... and I'm definitely not going to run the 'rm rf /' .... I'm not that stupid ;) Thank you everyone for making sure I wasn't stupid to run those commands :) It...

Sometimes, its not consistent, but if I open a random application the icon just bounces up and down in the dock for about 10-20 seconds...then finally responds and launches normally.... like its hanging or something The console gives me this error: Aug 29 22:26:58 OSXCaliber netinfod...

From what I understand you can also get Bluetooth phone adapters to enable connectivity with your mac.... I hope to do this with my Ericsson T60d and the D-link adapter from Apple. Is this correct? Does anyone know if I can do the iSync thing like this? -Taz

Isn't it true that because of OS X's graphics engine it can .pdf virually any file? How do you do it? thanx -Taz

anyone got any ideas? My Amadeus software shareware expired ;) I need an OSX app because SoundJam can't use the built-in mic in classic mode -Taz

Sorry I haven't responded lately.... college keeps me busy ;) I figured out that when I type 'tcsh' when I open a shell I can use the installed fink commands...otherwise fink doesn't work. Why does it do that? I thought that since I was running a tcsh shell anyways it would know? I think its...

Ok, since my last post, I have made a little progress... using /sw/bin/fink type commands, I somehow was able to install gimp using fink at one point i had it where i didn't have to type in /sw/bin/fink to access a fink command, but now that is lost and I don't know how to get it back...

OK. First of all, thanks for all of your responses...they have really helped... I think. BUT, I have really messed it up now.... my PATH is ALL MESSED UP and I can't even run basic commands.... do you know what the default path is or should be from a basic tcsh shell? I ran that directory...

I got it to work...the latest package from sourceforge had a wonderful installer package for XDarwin and XFree86 in one nice GUI installer....thanks for the tip! now if i can only get Fink to work correctly....! ;)

source /sw/bin/init.csh That is what is in my .cshrc file... in my instructions to get Fink to work, I was told to edit this file like so it looks like this. I've installed Fink but my terminal doesn't recognize any commands I finally got XFree86 and XDarwin to work by downloading the...
