    Help Please New Harddrive

    It sounds to me like there is not a useable O/S (operating system) on that particular drive. Do you have the original CDs that came with the G3 so you can reinstall OS9? If not, you may have to purchase a copy from someone. HTH. Regards, albtross

    iTunes Music Store error on OSX 10.4

    nikolaic, I'm curious, so I hope you will forgive me for stating the obvious: Since Tiger came out, Apple has released a free iTunes update numbered 4.8 Why are you still using version 4.7.1? I immediately updated to iTunes 4.8 figuring that Apple had made bug fixes/changes to accomodate...

    Apple and the horse it rode in on can....

    safari or camino ??

    Greetings All, In my view, Safari has one major problem. When used with a bookmark tool like version tracker, you must create a new tab manually before going to a new site via your bookmark tool. On the other hand, Camino does this for you automagically. And that makes Camino the winner...

    You're favorite shareware apps

    This may surprise some folks since I'm using OS X 10.2.4, complete with doc, but my vote for best shareware goes to James Thompson & his dock, DragThing. I use the Dock as the reposity of running programs, folders full of documents, folders full of application aliases, etc.. The DragThing...

    all icons are gone!!

    When I've had the same thing happen to me in the past, this is what's worked for me, YMMV. First, I start up from a maintenance partition and use disk util to repair permissions. Second, I use OS X's version of Disk First Aid. Finally, I boot into OS 9 and use the latest 2.n version of...

    Fast SFTP Program?

    RBrowser Lite or one of the paid versions of Rbrowser might just be what you are looking for. They come from Rbrowser.com. I own the full version that cost IIRC $49.95 USD. I know that the amount sounds like a lot, but instead of having several different FTP programs around, one to load my...
