Hi all, I have a shiny titanium G4 powerbook running 10.3. I also have an old PowerComputing PowerCenter with a G3 daughtercard running 8.6. There are two drives, small ones (2.1 and 1.?GB) in the powercenter. It only has serial and ethernet ports, no usb or firewire. How can I...

Hi Guys! I want to move all mailboxes and settings from one 10.3.3 to another. I would like not to have to import mailboxes and make all settings all over :(

If so, can Apple deliver the goods that FedEx expect?

What is the simplest way to move all of a users settings, preferences, mail etc to a new mac? Should I delete the user from the old mac, saving their files as a .dmg in Deleted Users and then copy that file? And when I have copied the file across and reset up the user on the new mac can I simply...

Hello. Whenever I try to move more than 2 icons at once (usually picture files, or movie files it seems) on my desktop to another location (whether it be another folder, or just another area of my desktop), the Finder crashes and restarts. I usually have to move each item one by one... which...

Everything I own wants to be located in the partition created with the OSX. I have loads of gigs open on my other partitions but programs don't want to copy over or they have problems. What are ther general guidlines in moving my large apps to another partition and having the Main system...

I'm about to make the jump to Panther, but I have a few questions first. Will the new developments with X11 render my Apple X11 and Fink stuff unecessary? Will the Panther install screw up the straight Unix stuff I have on the machine? (please say no?) Or will it simply install over 10.2.8...

When I originally installed Panther, I installed it as a new install on a second disk in my system until I was comfortable that it was going to be stable, that I was migrated to it, etc. I'm migrated now, and I'd like to move back to the main drive (it's my primary drive, It's much larger and...

I have dual 250GB hard drives in my G5. The original that has my home folder, system, applications and everything else on it decided to die. I managed to copy my /Users; /Library; /Applications directories to the drive that is still good. Can I just install OSX over them and expect most...

Ok, I just got a new hard drive and did a clean install of panther on it. However I left my old hard drive in there as well, now I have jaguar and all my apps (and absolutely everything else) on my one drive and a fresh panther on the other. My question is, whats the best way to go about...

In OS 9, when you ran software update, or an installer, the installer would find the Apps location and update it. In earlier build of X, if you moved an app from its original location and tried to update it, the installer would only look in /Applications and install the update files there. So...

Hi all, A number of users I have on campus are going to be upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2, and I was wondering: can I import OS-level preferences from 10.1 to 10.2 and not have problems? I was looking at specifically copying things like Dock and Finder prefs. I imagine I won't have a problem with...

If I have registered for QT Pro 5 and have a registration # can I enter those details into the QT registration preference in OS X to use QT Pro 6 in OS X? Mat

There is an old marketing tale that goes like this. If two ice-cream vendors want to compete and profit successfully instead of locating either ends of the beach they both locate next to each other in the middle. Panther now has a Finder that is very much like MS Windows Explorer. MS will...

I know there have been a lot of posts in the past about this, but they have seemed to died off, I doubt that I am the only one still experiencing this. Anyways, I don't want to sort them by name, or kind, I just want them to stay where they are. is there a fix around for this yet? ->g4 10.2.6

I bought my wife a new 12-inch PowerBook today and we're debating how to move her applications, documents, photos, etc. from one to the other. The old computer is a G4 450 with 512 MB. I plan to initialize the hard drive on that and sell it once we've made the transition to the PB full-time...

I moved my iMovie project files to another volume and now all the files have generic icons and are identified simply as "Document". iMovie will not recognize anything to open. Anyone know what happened? Please do not tell me I have lost all my files now. This is with OS X 10.2.4 and iMovie...

Recently I started up my ibook on 9.2 and I was amazed. It was so much faster than 10.2.4! Ok, unfortunately I got a Rage 8MB graphic in my ibook and scrolling is a nightmare over 10.2.4. So, what do you guys think? Is it worth to change, if I am not really stucked to the unix platform?
