    Weird item in trash won't go away.

    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...

    Weird item in trash won't go away.

    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...

    Problem burning CD's

    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...

    No screen/CRT illumination on Sage G3

    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...

    No sound internal speakers iMac G3

    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...

    OS X to 9.2 Networking Headache

    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...

    OS X to 9.2 Networking Headache

    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...

    OS X to 9.2 Networking Headache

    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...

    Lost Favorites IE5.1

    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...

    Sonnet Tempo Ata-100 In Beige G3

    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...

    Sonnet Tempo Ata-100 In Beige G3

    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...
