I log on remotely to access eMail on a corporate exchange server with Entourage. I have two other accounts available in Entourage: my dotMac account and msn/hotmail. Unfortunately, my exchange account kicks me off after 30 min (?) of inactivity, so I've tried to schedule a rule ("send and...

Thanks for the responses. 1. All three drives are different. the problem drive is an Acomdata Firewire/USB2, 80G. It's about 2.5 years old. I don't know what chipset is in it. The other two drives are an older Phantom Firewire (only) @ 60G, and a wonderful new Acomdata Firewire/USB2 @ 250G...

The external HD is Firewire and and the unmount is not sleep related. It seems to do it randomly, both when it is being copied to and when it sits idle. Generally, I don't try to leave this particular HD mounted, but mount it for the purpose of cloning. It will usually let me begin to copy, but...

I have three Macs running X.4.6 (700 iBk G3, mini G4, & G4 Dual). I also have three external Firewire HDs. I use all three HDs on all three Macs to clone bkups with SuperDuper. One of the HDs spontaneously dismounts from the G4 Dual (the other two work fine). The one that dismounts works fine on...

Don't know if this will help, but... I was having the identical problem and found (don't ask me how) that if I hit the 'shift' key twice, at the point of hang, the boot would exit the blue screen and move onto login. This happens often (but not always) on my iBook 700 G3. ttfn

Satcomer: Please kick back, put your hands behind your head, and smile; knowing that in some small corner of this universe you are a hero! Thanx Dirtbagg

All of a sudden, my microsoft office apps (word & excel) are telling me all my fonts are corrupt. When I open either app, I get an endless stream of dialogues telling me each font is corrupt and should be deleted. I haven't had a problem before and other apps like Nisus Writer Express aren't...

The new keyboard pane in Tiger's System Preferences now allows one to change application shortcuts. I am left-handed and wish to change the 'Back' and 'Forward' menu commands to the left and right arrow keys in selected applications. I was able to do this without problem on both my G4 Dual and...

Intaglio is a very nice vector drawing program. Clean, lightweight and effective. ttfn dirtbagg

Anyone else experience this: I can no longer invoke the FM contextual menu by click and hold. I gotta hold down the control key... ttfn Dirtbagg

Thanks, Frida. That's a very clever way to sort thru plists. I was hoping I wouldn't have to. But you got me thinkin'. I have a week old clone that worked correctly with respect to freehand and illustrator, I just had to find what I'd installed in the past week that could do this. Turns out to...

I'm having an interesting keyboard problem. As we know, in both Freehand and Illustrator, 'space + command' zooms in, while 'space + command + option', zooms out. Recently, 'S+C+O' has stopped working (tho 'S+C' still works to zoom in). This has happened in both applications on both a dualG4...

Sorry to be confusing, but this one is challenging me! I've got an MSN contact database filled with addresses, phone #s, and multiple eMail addresses. I need to export them to Entourage or Mail. I've tried eMailing the vCards to myself, but when I open them in either Mail or Entourage, there's...

MSN has recently announced that they will no longer support MSN for the Mac. Instead they suggest we use our browser. I'vde never used MSN, but my wife does and I'm looking to get her into Entourage (which I use at work & home). It's all up n' runnin' but Ican't figure out how to get her...

I tried out the new version of Stickybrain because of the palm sync. But i wasn't overly impressed. I'm still a devote of Circus Ponies NoteBook. ttfn Dirtbagg

Both ClearDock and Transparant Dock will alter the Dock's background and other features. TransparantDock allows for quite a bit more...invisible files, quit in contextual menu &c. There are some dock separators available at VT, but I like to make my own. In most any graphics programs you can...

I've been trying out the demo of iPartition. I tried to 'resize' a partition of 3.9G with 1.9G used. I am only 'allowed' to make a very small change in the partition size and when I click on 'display minimum sizes' the new grey area takes up the full remaining size. Can anyone explain why I...

Once again, thank you ElDiablo. I went back and reread the Apple [age about the mini... Its right there in the iPod updater!

I was lookin'@ getting an iPod, but my iTunes folder is less than 2 gigs, so the smaller size of the mini is attractive. But I note that the iPod lists 'shuffle' as an option, but not the mini. This would be a deal breaker for me, I always suffle iTunes on my iBook and can't imagine being...
