thanx to all of you who replied with suggestions. Here is the reply I received from Kingston... It WAS the formatting!! The USB Data Traveler is formatted FAT16 by default. If you plan on using the USB Data Traveler with devices other than Mac OS systems than you should keep the default...

sounds great...but talking to your computer will only be a step forward when you dont have to actually make a sound. Do you really want to be alone in a room talking out loud? Or worse, in an office situation on a FLOOR full of people talking to their computers. And which totally non-personal...

thanx. We have a call into Kingston on the HFS+ question.... Ill post back on what they tell us.

We did not format it at all. just used it as it was shipped. Your description about lost data recalls the manufacturer's explanation... but, again, my puzzlement is why would copying an application file be any different from any random data file?

thanx for your info and reply. I should have ben more explicit. I later copied the exact same files onto an external firewire drive, and then onto the laptop as a test, (instead of using the flash device) and th eapplication file worked just fine. So the issue relates directly to the media...

I just bought on eof those little Flash storage devices (256mb) that plug into USB slots and you can literally carry around on your keychain. All of that is very convenient - - beats zips etc. But, I am having problems copying application files successfully. When I try to launch them on the...

well, I spoke too soon. Many of you already understand this unix stuff - - I havent a clue, but apparently as I read in th efollowing link, this is all well an dgood. But I dont understand why I never noticed such a prominent folder before...

I have noticed that my G4 running 10.3 has a new folder sitting on the Mac HD named "private". I never noticed it before. AND, what made me catch it was noticing that my computer was running some activity at 3:15 AM. I do not have anything scheduled to be done, I quit Mail every night before...

I agree. As a Mac guy through and through in the religeous wars of the last decade, I must admit this was a very nice surprise.

The problem was solved by Chris at Microsoft!! It appears that my macros were written taking into consideration something that Microsoft changed for the OSX release. Previously, when a macro finished running, screen activation would come back on automatically. My macros were written to turn...

I had used Lotus for many years. I had a similar syatem created by a typesetter friend who was proficient in early PC software (remember Ventura Publisher?) Im in graphic design, so when we switched to computers, I went with Macs. For many years I still kept up with Lotus on PCs for billing...

I sent my files to a techie at Microsoft who says he will try to duplicate the problem...and suggest a solution. Think they actually will???

thanx. I was hopeful, but I was running 10.1.4 and the problem persists after upgrading to 10.1.5, the latest patch posted by Microsoft.

Hi. Im a new member and hope you can help. I ve got a fairly routine Excel (not extraordinarily complex that is) billing system created for me in Excel 98. It uses macros that create new workbooks for invoices and statements etc. When I run it on both OSX platforms in Office X, I have noticed...
