use terminal.app (/Apps../Utils.. $ df this will give the volume name $ sudu chmod -hR 777 /Volumes/whatevernthenameofyourdiskis The sudo command will require the root password. the -R is recursive and -h is for links. Dobby.

I reckon if Apple had a dualcore chip to ship then Apple would make a big hullaballo about it and too right! This same if they started making a Pro version of the powermac with these. If Apple don't release the machines at an event then we will …

If you just trashed the app from the Applications dir then copying the app from another machine should suffice. I can dropstuff the Font.app into a .sitx file for you to unpack if you wish. Send me a private message and I'll e-mail it to you. D…

Sounds Great, How about a mini hydrogen cell as battery. Carbon fiber can't be used as its too brittle. It will break if bent even slightly (albeit it needs to be under far greater pressure to bend). Titanium yes though. Dobby.

The TS rumour specs seem highly likely. I reckon they have a dualcore/pci-e G5 in testing but reliability,price etc are currently issues so they are going to speed bump them yet again. They should drop the price by $500 at least on the top the ran…

There are no native (apple written) apps for this. You could send the device into a data recovery center for lots of money and have the data recovered or try downloading one of the undelete type progs from versiontracker etc. Dobby.

I upgraded one of my B&W 300mhz G3s to a mac mini to reshare out NFS shares. It was heaps faster. I replaced my HD using Windnuts most helpful instructions (an my ram) using a Hitachi 7k40 (40GB 7200rpm 8MB cache). Runs even better than before…

XP is alot better with handling crashing apps. You generally get a send report box and go back to the desktop. Use W2K or XP with just MS office and IE/Firefox and you will have a system that will run fine for ages (as long as you don't use the in…

I saw a survey like this a couple of years ago but it was before XP was out (2001?). If you have a good HP, IBM or even custom built machine with quality components and run W2K or even XP you will have a machine as reliable as a Mac. If you argu…

Dejavu. See Genius Bar reply.

Do you have a background pic? Have you run disk repair. Try deleteing the display prefs. Does this work for a different user? Dobby.

We even used 3rd party ram on this server. Got 2GB for less than the price of 1GB Apple. I've done this in about 12 of our XServes now and had no problems. Dobby.

If you just want to archive data then plug a network cable between the 2 and copy the data from one drive to the other. I doubt the reimport of the accounts is that smooth. You could always copy your account and if the reimport didn't work then co…

2GB ram and a 2Ghz cpu should be fine. Will you use the internal disks or add an XRaid? We have a Dual 1.33 2GBRam XServe with XRaid and about 100 users, FTP, printserver, Apache, Tomcat and 5 Java apps running. The XRaid is 98%full and it still…

Thats right laugh! Huh, just you wait until Apple releases something like this. I heard something like this is due to be announced the day Windows becomes OpenSource! Anyways, How about incorporating a slot to put your sim card in as well.…

Use a usb/serial converter and http://homepage.mac.com/dalverson/zt...1.1b7.OSX.dmg. I use it to connect to Cisco switches/routers, Sun, HP and AIX servers. Dobby.

I really hope the PM update includes a slightly shorter version. Perhaps they could leave off the bottom bracket feet thingies (technical term). The current PMs are about 5cm too tall compared to standard brand (HP/IBM/DELL) machines. Its not as th…

A usb modem would quickly prove if its your modem or not. I don't know if you can use Hayes commands on a mac to dial say your mobile phone to prove your modem is okay. Dobby.
