    Mail hangs - sort of

    I've been having this issue for what seems like years now... One account I have often will get stuck sending, receiving, syncing - any one of these actions. It's like it can't connect to the server or is having some issue with the mail server. So if I open the Activity Viewer I can see those...

    Russian encoding in Mail

    Well, I just got a swift kick. Here I am the IT Admin for a company that deals with Russians and have demanded a strict adherence to using KOIR-8 for all documents, mail, whatever. Well, today I discovered that Mail is sending out in UTF-8! Why? I am certain that I would checked this at some...

    Copy bootable DVD

    But Disk Utility only makes .dmg files, right? And just to clarify, I want to copy an installation DVD and then burn that same DVD in a way that it will be bootable for installing linux on Intel/AMD machines.

    Copy bootable DVD

    I want to copy a bootable DVD for installing linux (there are no licensing issues involved!). I was wondering if I used Disk Utility to create an image and then burned that image to a DVD would the copy be bootable? Or is there a different way I need to go about doing this? Thanks

    Internal HD PowerMac G4

    I remember someone at one time told me about a software solution to recognizing over the 128 Gb limit. Could anybody tell me about that program again? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

    IDE Controller

    Could someone confirm that the following IDE Controller will do what I need it to do? http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ACARD/AEC6280M/ It's for a G4 PowerMac (that's about all I know about it). The individual purchased a 250 Gb IDE driver for it. But it turns out this PowerMac only supports...

    Acting strangely

    My eMac (G4) is acting more and more strangely lately. While working in iPhoto recently it hanged twice (couldn't do anything for a long time). In both cases, I just rebooted. Then, when changing from user to user, it would get stuck on a blue screen (Apple's BSOD? - joke). Again, nothing...

    Dictionary shortcut in Tiger no longer works

    I have the same problem, but I have no idea what symbolic link Freaky is talking about in the root directory, except that it is something he did himself at some point. Anybody else have any ideas about why this is happening?

    Adding mail certs to X509 Anchors

    Sorry I can't help you. I've never even herard of a Microsoft Keychain for OSX. I guess maybe you have Entourage installed maybe? To make things worse no one has ever replied to my request. I have no idea what to do in order to add certs to my X509 Anchors. They are there and they demand a...

    Adding mail certs to X509 Anchors

    As I recall I have to add mail certs to X509 Anchors in the Keychain in order not to be asked every time I connect to a mail server as to whether I accept the certificate or not. But I can't add them to my X509 Anchors. That is, I choose to add them to it, but they only end up in the section...

    HD capacity issue

    A couple of months ago I asked a question about whether any IDE HD will work in a G4 PowerMac. Since the answer was affirmative I bought a 250 G HD from Seagate. Turns out that a single processor G4 will only recognize up to 128 G. According to Seagate there is no way to bypass this without...

    Internal HD PowerMac G4

    I friend of mine wants to buy a new internal HD for his PowerMac G4. As I recall they take your standard IDE drives. Is this right? I just want to confirm it prior to making a purchase suggestion for him. Thanks!

    Disk verification

    Can anyone point me to a utilty (hopefullly built in) to do a thorough check of the hard drive on Tiger? As I understand the Disk Utility doesn't actually do a thorough scan of the disk's surface. It just verifies the actual file structure, and maybe some other factors. Here's the deal. For...

    Files moving randomly?

    Guess what everyone! Happened again. Entourage files are gone and various doc files are now gone. Something really messed up with this system. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this to happen? I just can't imagine.

    Total System Failure - Recover?

    Unfortunately, targeted disk mode didn't work. My iBook entered TDM but no external disk showed up on my eMac. I know it works otherwise because I used TDM to install Tiger on my iBook. I am interested in how I could actually use a bootable CD to copy the info off my iBook to an external drive...

    Total System Failure - Recover?

    I will try your advice tonight. Another question I have is this. I now believe that my HD is hosed. This is an iBook G3. Do you think I can go and buy a typical notebook HD and put it in there and it'll work?

    Total System Failure - Recover?

    Last night after returning from a 2-week trip abroad with my Mac in tow, the system crashed. It was impossible to reboot the system. It would seemingly go through a normal reboot, but at the point when it should ask for my name and password, it would just show a blue screen and nothing else. On...

    Could anybody please somehow explain why files would have been deleted and moved? I would really like to understand how and why this could happen.

    Files moving randomly?

    In response to Barhar: Ok. This user had 10.39. Office was definitely infected with some macro virus. WM97/Thur-T was definitely one of them, as identified by Sophos. OK, technically it was doc files as well as the Normal.dot file that were infected. Prior to installing Tiger I installed...
