Using Entourage X v.10.0.0, the database file hit the 2gb limit without warning again. Entourage returns message "unable to access data, rebuild database" Rebuild fails with error code -40, write error. Ran Cocktail to clean caches and repair permissions, etc. Rebuild still fails. Downloaded...

Hi. You may want to try Trash It! anyway. It might work on the XP side, and even if it doesn't, it's a great utility to have for the future. You've got nothing to lose... Off the subject, I get a laugh that the Windows OS's have used the pc-correct term "Recycle Bin" when we all know that...

Hi. I had a very similar issue with a "locked" plug-in that wouldn't delete upon emptying trash, both secure and otherwise. I did all the stuff posted here such as repair permissions, etc. I even used (and highly recommend!!) a shareware utility called Cocktail, which goes alot farther than the...

Hi. Just bought white wired Mighty Mouse (eBay) and connected after restart, PRAM reset, shutdown, and start. Looked at Sys Prefs to configure pea-ball and selected 360 scrolling. Only get vertical. No horizontal, and no 360. Looked at various forums and Q/A's and cleaned the pea-ball as...

Hi. When I attempt a CD burn, it always ends with "burn failed, disk could not be verified". Some data comes through on the burned disk, such as about 50% of pictures if that's what I was attempting to save, and sometimes all items will appear on my Mac, but few if any will appear on a Windows...

Thanks. Already submitted to Tech Support two days ago. Awaiting response.

Sorry, forgot to include OS info. Macs are running Tiger 10.4.10 and Dell is running XP Pro. Thanks.

Hi. I'm trying to get info on how to get a Windows machine to see, and print to, an Apple LaserWriter II on my home network. The situation is that my wife has a Dell Inspirion supplied by her work that she brings home each night and weekend. Connecting it to our home network via ethernet, she is...

I'll try your suggestion this weekend and let you know. Thanks again. Scot.

Hi Bob. Here's what's happened so far, and what I've done. The following is dialog with tech Ferdinand: Hi Scot, Try disconnecting the keyboard, then turning it on. If that doesn't work, try turning it on, immediately shut it down again. Wait a while, then turn it back on. It could also...

Hi. My daughter's Sage G3 all-in-one has been powered down for a few months without power cord connected. Upon trying to restart to give it away to a friend, I get start-up chime and can hear hard drive spin-up, but no screen comes up on CRT. Thought maybe the tube didn't have enough energy...

That's correct, no chime at boot up. Here's a copy of dialog I had with tech support detailing their suggestions, my results, and next suggestions, etc.: Hi and welcome to macosx.com Try the following tips and between each, test. (1) reset the PRAM...

Hi. My daughter's Sage G3 iMac has stopped producing sound from the internal speakers. We recently replaced the hard drive after a previous drive failure and installed a new OS Tiger 10.4. Upgraded the RAM to 1G and partioned the drive to be less than 120 G for the OS. Everything worked fine...

Hi. I checked and the Firewall is on and Personal File Sharing is checked to "Allow". The OS9 (7500) machine's still absent in the Network Browse window of "Connect to server..." So I typed the afp address into that window and the 9 machine showed up and is accessible, mounts, etc. Likewise the...

Hi MisterMe! I tried the backward route you suggested of going from the 9 machines to the G4 via the Chooser. Still the G4 doesn't show in the AppleShare file server menu. Interestingly however, my daughter's iMac G3 running 10.2 does appear in the Chooser window as a selectable option. Why not...

Thanks. Checked both, and AppleTalk is enabled in Network Prefs and Directory Access on the G4. The 7500 and 6100 have been functional on a network of 7 machines for several years. AppleTalk via ethernet and Apple File Sharing (never used LocalTalk) has been stable with sharing data and printer...

Hi. Attempting to access two older Macs (7500 w/G3 upgrade and 6100 w/G3 upgrade, both running 9.2) from a G4 400 running 10.4. After browsing the network, both above-mentioned machines appear, although after selecting "Connect", an error message displays: "The file server uses an incompatible...

Hi. I transferred/copied IE 5.1 from my main drive volume onto another internal drive I was setting up for my kids. After copying, I opened Explorer on the second drive and moved my personal Favorites to the trash so the kids could build their own list. After re-opening Explorer on the original...

OK Thanks. I read that link and it's very helpful. I think I'll try a quick Norton fix to see if I can just mount it. The drive was on the main bus of the machine I took it from. I just don't want to lose all the apps and OS that's on it, if at all possible. Any "mount" utility suggestions...

OK. I can see the 80gb Hitachi as slave and it's set up in four partitions of 20gb apiece. The 6gb however, shows up as unnamed in Drive Set-Up and will not mount without initialization. I don't want to re-initialize it if at all possible because it has OSX on it and a bunch of other software...
