Mac Pro wouldn't boot this morning; looks like the 2-drive Disk Utility (v11.1) mirrored RAID pair is degraded. Running 10.5.8 (until today) on two identical Seagate ST3750330AS 750 Gb SATA drives. Trying to get the intact RAID member to serve as a Restore source, I repartitioned the...

Can Leopard boot from a RAID 1 pair (or three, or four...) of drives? I suppose they must be internal drives, if possible at all? I run a SATA host card that uses a driver for external drives; this would have to load prior to the system being available on any RAID running on those drives....

ElDiabloCC has it right: there are a lot of LaCie storage devices out there just waiting to bite their owners. If it's a dual-drive model, you're particularly at risk. LaCie's troubles date back four years or more. I lost several over a period of about 18 months, staring late in 2005. You can...

Boss told us to shut down our workstations over weekends to save power... now my 1st gen MacPro won't boot up this morning. In Single-User boot I get "ssssssSi3124::SetPowerState (0x370e000,0->1) timed out after 10111 ms" message. I can use the original Tiger instll disk to get into Disk...

Thanks!

Can it be made to work, despite Apple's caveats?

Yep, you're correct - Cinema Display's the 20-inch. My MacPro has the 30" Studio Display, also 1st gen. The DVI>ADC converter's the thing I need; I believe I have one from Dr Bott at home running my 17" Apple LCD display off the G4/500MHz I use there. Not sure it's worth the $$ to buy another...

Not clear what you need: you want BOTH on one adapter, or you want to go from USB to Ethernet? What will you be plugging this adapter into? USB? Firewire? Look into these: http://www.netgear.com/Products/Adapters/WiredAdapters/FA120.aspx <or>...

How can I? The point being I'm running two desktop Macs currently, one (2x800 MHz) exclusively for legacy apps now "runnable" on Leopard. I can use the second monitor to good advantage if I can locate an adapter to plug it into my Mac Pro's 2nd graphics card port. Suggestions, links...

What level RAID are you using? Do you have a spare Seagate you can swap for any one of the current 4 drives, one at a time? My first suspicion would be the controller card as timing is a huge issue with RAID. Could also be a funky cable as that host is connected by a separate cable to each...

IT guys suffered a network config burp last week, one of my remote (Florida) Macs now won't connect to our (Chicago) servers. Report is that this Mac's Network Utility's "Display routing table information" won't display at all. Is it as simple as tossing the <com.apple.networkConfig.plist>...

This morning I tried to boot my Mac Pro off an APM-formatted drive with a Carbon Copy clone of 10.4.8 from this very same machine. Didn't work. It started from my default drive (GUID) instead, now running Leopard. Yesterday I tried booting a new Mac Pro off a clone of it's Leopard OS on a...

Apple recommends GUID partition mapping for drives to boot Intel Macs. I've had a Mac Pro for over a year now; Apple Partition Map works for boot drives on it just fine. Why is GUID superior for Intel Macs over the PowerPC-recommended APM mapping format?

Any way under Leopard to get shared volumes (networked or remote machine) to "stick" in the new Finder? The new method of accessing shared volumes is way too intrusive to my workflow: I access several shared volumes on various servers frequently when sending files to print to multiple RIPS...

Got one designer's G5 (running 10.4.10) that appears to hang in Spotlight when we attempt to log into her user account. I can get into an Admin account, or Root, but the one she wishes to use stalls at the screen-saver image. Only Spotlight's little spyglass appears in the menu bar at top...

<Shift> after log-in screen didn't work, but <shift> at reboot did - at least after I waited thru the interminable spinning ratchet until <safe boot> appeared in red just above my log-in options. Now I have the Wonky User's Desktop up, everything looks OK. Do I just Reboot or is/are there...

Co-worker crashed G5 while in Excel. G5 (10.4.10) now won't boot into her account. Boots thru log-in screen (& other Users work OK, including Root) but Beach Ball cursor & a magnifying glass at upper right screen corner, with her Desktop Picture of Choice as a background, is where it stalls...

How can this be enabled please? Nevermind... I found it: MAIL/Prefs/General/Default Email Reader
