    Problems with Administrator password and privileges

    I have the same problem trying to install Suitcase Fusion. When I saw the message I immediately repaired permissions. When I read your response, I followed the link and repaired permissions again. I have logged in as myself (I have admin rights) and I have logged in as administrator. Out of...

    What is your Powerbook Battery life number?

    "IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=692,"Amperage"=1200,"Current"=691,"Voltage"=16275,"Flags"=838860805}) G4 667 15" - 1 year, 8 months old. I get a maximum of about 30 minutes. :mad: since upgrading to Panther from Jaguar. Under Jaguar, I got 2 hours. Capacity of 692??? How did that get so...

    Battery life since Installing panther ...

    not done the PMU reset, but I have just drained the battery and recharged it as per the apple info article. Now when I remove the power lead, time is up from 35 mins to 1 hr 10 mins. Although as I type this, it has already dropped down to 45 mins and I have not been typing for 25 minutes...

    Battery life since Installing panther ...

    I haven't tried the solutions offered above yet, but the max I get with my TiBook 667 G4/512 Mb RAM since installing Panther is 35 minutes! Right now, the icon on the toolbar says charged, and if I pull out the lead, it says calculating, then 35mins.

    Volume could not be repaired

    A couple of days ago, my trusty TiBook froze - mouse wouldn't move, couldn't switch applications, nada. On restart, I noticed a couple of the apps in the dock had question marks behind them, i.e. the alias could not find the original. I opened the Applications folder and several were missing...

    Computer makers sued over hard-drive size claims

    This is all a complete waste of time and money and really has nothing to do with the actual size of the hard drives - if I bought a 10Gb drive and found it to be only 5Gb, I could understand but some smart-Alecc has decided to make a point in law and scam the manufacturers for a few dollars as...

    Javascript help

    Just to be a pedantic bar steward, I use both ID= and name= on my elements so that the script is multi-browser friendly! :D

    Apple to go x86 for sure. Got proof.

    Complete festering pants. The whole deal with Apple hardware is the speed of the chip - the design of the the Motorolla chips over the X86, pipeline cache , megahertz myth, blah blah blah. This is no proof that Apple is moving to X86 from that article, there is not even a suggestion! Why...

    An iBook on a Novell Netware network *shudder*

    OK, that sounds like they are running the proxy service of BorderManager and forcing access through it only to authenticated users. Daft. If their network is secure, then why would they need users to authenticate on the proxy server to get out?? Sadly, I think you are going to require...

    Virtual PC usability?

    I use VPC 6 on a TiBook 667 in X 10.2.6 and 9.2.2 1. It works quicker in OS 9 than X 2. Allocate as much RAM as possible to the VPC - the more the merrier. 3. Shutdown any background services not required in the Windoze environment (especially in Win 2000). 4. Win 98 is a dog. Win 2000 is...

    An iBook on a Novell Netware network *shudder*

    I'm with Arden. Novell does not issue IP addresses so somewhere else there is a Windows or UNIX (or even Mac!!:p ) server that is hosting DHCP. Set your network prefs to AUTOMATIC on TCP/IP and you will get an address. That takes care of the internet. Most printers nowadays have AppleTalk...

    Internet, Server 2000 and an ibook

    ok, if I have this straight... You connect the iBook to a network wall socket using the CAT5 cable & I assume that the Windows server does the same i.e. it is on the same network. You say that the server connects to ADSL via a firewall. A hardware one or a software on on the server...

    Internet, Server 2000 and an ibook

    ok, this should be straight forward, but can youu please tell me a bit more: 1. how is your Windows 2000 server connected to the internet? 2. you say that your iBook is connected by Cat5, but connected to what?

    So what's the scoop for NY in 2 weeks?

    You may have noticed (like me) that there is nothing quite like a flagon of coke the morning after the night before... I read somewhere that coke was originally invented as a restorative tonic a.k.a hang-over cure and that until relatively recently the famous and secretive "ingredient X" that...

    Panther -- How much?

    I assume the $129 price is for the out of the box copy. What happens if you only just bought 10.2 Jaguar (two months ago) - is there an upgrade price? i.e. cheaper...:mad:

    mac os 9.1 and external modems...

    You've only ever READ about modems??!!? Aaarrrggghh - am I really that old? Shit, I remember upgrading from 2400 baud to my first "high speed" box at a whizzing 4800 baud - Was the size of a pizza too! Anyway... the modem is not specifically for PC hardware, the cable is. This is another item...

    lost my Net connection in OS9

    Presumably the DSL has a router/hub of its own at the end of the DSL line and you just plug in the ethernet cable from your Mac. So my first question is why do you need another router? When you say it worked fine in OS X was that just straight off or were you launching the Internet Connect...
