I recently initialized my hard drive and performed a clean install of Jaguar. I had installed it about six months ago but in the past month I was getting lots of strange problems (apps quitting on me, very slow system response times) so after backing things up I erased my hard drive, once via...

I'm running X.2 and I'm trying to find a way of making the hard drive stop spinning. I would rather do this at night then put my computer to sleep, for various reasons. But it seems that no matter what I do, the hard drive spins down and then periodically spins up again every 20 minutes or so...

I have a problem where my hard drive automatically spins down after a few minutes of inactivity, then starts spinning again after a few minutes, then stops again, and keeps repeating this pattern indefinitely. In my energy preferences i do not have the "spin down hard drive" option checked. I...

Does anyone know how to completely rid my Mac of OSX? In the past few days I've had applications quit randomly, freeze-ups occur when my screen saver is running, I've had my Mac logout spontaneously for no reason at all (seems to do it after printing, though. odd) and refuse to mount disk...

When I download anything that is a .dmg file, I can't open it afterwards. A few times recently I've downloaded files that were .dmg.sit files, and they decompress just fine but when I open the .dmg file It goes through the usual process (verifying...checksumming...mounting) but no disk ever...

10.2.2 is out...but I can't use it. I ran Software Update and it downloads the whole package, but when it finishes I get a message saying there was an error and it cannot install anything. So I downloaded the disk image from Apple.com, but it won't mount. The .bin file extracts into a .dmg...

I finally gave up today. I reinstalled 9.1 because running OSX had so completely FUBAR'd my Mac that there was really no other choice. It went from running fine, to running fine in Classic, to crashing frequently (Classic only), to refusing to run any applications in Classic, to finally not...

Last week my Classic started to get very buggy. I'm a fan of X, but I'd been doing all my usual stuff in Classic. You know, surfing the internet, reading e-mail, connecting to my LAN, etc. X was a cool novelty. Well, when Classic stopped opening applications (they open and quit automatically...

My Classic has been screwy all night! I don't know what to do. Yesterday when Eudora opened it thought that keys were being pressed down, and I had to unplug the keyboard to get it to stop. Now, Eudora won't open at all and none of my other Classic applications will either. Has anyone else...

I've been using X since it came out, and I'm wondering how people think of it. I was extremely excited to see Apple finally make it into the realm of true preemptive multitasking, which they seem to have pulled off nicely, and other things that made X such a cool new OS. Well, it's here, and...
