    Anyone upgrade to Snow Leopard Server yet?

    I just picked up one of the new MINIs with Snow Leopard Server installed. The retail price for the is $999. You get a full license for Snow Leopard unlimited users with the mini. That makes this one cheap solution for replacing a lightly loaded XSERVE G4.

    iMac hangs on white bootup screen.

    I'm still having the same problem with OS X 10.4.10. I'm hoping Leopard will solve this problem. I'm pretty sure it is software related since the problem is on two MacBook Pro Intel machines that I have with pretty much the same software. I know it isn't startup items at either the system or...

    iMac hangs on white bootup screen.

    You might have a startup program that is running and for some reason doesn't honor the system command to shut down so the reboot can happen. If you stop all your startup programs, then you probably have a kernel extension that won't shut down...and those are such a pain to find. I've got the...

    MacBook Pro does not wake from sleep with lid closed reliably

    Pressing the space bar on the external keyboard and waiting 20 seconds or right clicking the mouse and waiting 20 seconds seems to always wake up my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo. If that doesn't work, I open and close the lid.

    Tiger Pptp Vpn Fails Connecting to Xserve Or Win2003

    I did come up with a solution. I purchased VPN Tracker and it works just fine. Apple's VPN solution just doesn't work after the Tiger release. I wish it did. Here is the URL to their web site: http://www.equinux.com/us/products/vpntracker/index.html These folks understand keeping a VPN...

    Smtp Server Error

    There are a number of situations that might keep SMTP connections from working. You mention that you both have the same ISP, are you saying that you both have the same ISP at the local end as well as the mail server location? From what you describe, I suspect that you have the same ISP for...

    Tiger Pptp Vpn Fails Connecting to Xserve Or Win2003

    I have a Mac client running the Mac PPTP VPN that up until the Tiger release was able to connect to both a Windows Server 2003 VPN and an Apple Xserve VPN. After installing Tiger, I'm unable to connect the client to either server. I upgraded the Xserve to 10.4. The client is running OS X 10.4.1...

    HELP! USB Drive not Mounting

    I'm having trouble getting USB Flash Drive Media to moun, too, under Tiger. The flash drives I have worked flawlessly under Panther. If I fire up Disk Utility the USB drive shows up just fine and passes the "repair disk" tests. If I click on "MountPoint" I can get to the drive and the drive...

    airport / dhcp / 10.1

    When you bridge, the device you bridge to (or something connected to that device) is your DHCP server. All the Airport does is become a wireless extension to your normal ethernet cable. Hope it starts working for you!

    How Do I Mirror 10.1 HD onto Another Drive?

    Ed010, thanks for making Disk Copy 6.4 available. I've used it to CLONE 22GB of 9.2/10.1 files from a 48GB drive to an 80GB drive and back. It worked flawlessly. I did notice when running Disk Warrior on the just cloned target disk that the directory was quite fragmented. A quick pass with...

    Date and Time

    Thanks for the suggestion, EWHAN. I followed your instructions and linked the help link to the System Preferences application. So now Mac Help works for Date and Time, but the link from the Date/Time Menu drop down still justs sits passively when Open Data & Time... are selected.

    Date and Time

    My setting for a time server seems to be stable. I did the setting in the Date and Time of System Preferences. However, if I click on the clock in the upper right of the screen and choose "Open Date & Time..." nothing happens at all. Almost like this choice is inoperative.

    airport / dhcp / 10.1

    Kev, Do you have more than one device you want to connect via the Airport? If you just have the one machine, then you can set up the Airport as a BRIDGE device rather than as a NAT or DHCP device. In bridging mode, the Airport just works as a wireless extension to your ethernet cable. Your...

    Broken folder Booting OS X 10.1

    I've solved the problem but not sure of the cause. Evidently something was wrong with the boot-blocks (or whatever controls the disk boot process) in my internal drive. After trying various popular remedies such as resetting PRAM, reseting NVRAM, etc. all to no avail this process worked...

    Backup disk will not unmount

    I didn't get any replies on my post of a few days ago. I was able to get a copy of Disk Copy 6.4 with the new CLONE command. It does a great job of cloning my internal drive to an external FireWire drive. I've booted both 9.2 and OS X 10.1 from the external drive with no problems. So now...

    Backup disk will not unmount

    I've been using a Unix script to back up my internal PowerBook drive to an external FireWire drive. The script runs just fine, but when the backup is completed, I drag the desktop image of the FireWire drive to the trash to unmount it and get a finder alert saying "The operation could not be...

    Broken folder Booting OS X 10.1

    When I use the control panel to change my startup disk to OS X 10.1 and do a restart, I get a broken folder icon. If I power down and power up with the OPTION key held down, I get a folder with an X in the corner and a circular arrow on the left and a right arrow on the right sides of the...
