    in Will this card fit into my G4? Comment by spooky April 2005
  • Hi, thanx for your reply Omega. I've just tried Omni and it finds all kinds of files but nothing remotely in the 650mb range or with the name MacCD. There are lots of hidden files shown but most of them are just a few K in size. I'm really …

    in G3 Not seeing new hard Drive Comment by spooky March 2005
  • Hi Ebby, thanx 4 your reply. I have tried Master, Slave and cable select all to no avail. I have also tried out 2 different IDE cables. Frankly, I'm baffled. In all other respects this machines behaves sweetly. I just can't imagine what the probl…
    in G3 Not seeing new hard Drive Comment by spooky March 2005
  • many thanx! I didn't realise that the end bit came off at all! It was secured onto the main drive carrier by some tape. I removed the tape, slid the end back a notch and just as you suggested everything fits! Many thanx once again!

    in Help with Processes needed!! Comment by spooky December 2004
  • Thanx for the pointers Karl - plenty for me to read thru!! There was one other thing I'd also like to be able to do. I'd like for my students to create web pages and host them on a server. However college policy means that we are not allowed to h…
    in How to set up an Xserve Comment by spooky October 2004
  • I have a similar problem. I had a 160Gb hd in an external case and wanted to format it into 2 FAt32 partitions. DiskUtil would allow me to format the whole drive as one DOS partition but if I tried to partition it into 2 I could only format it us…
    in Disk Utility and PC format drives Comment by spooky June 2004
  • Christ. After all the grief with MOTO and the f**k**g G4 we now have this horsesh*t. Is it simply too much to ask for apple just for once to get it right? How can they expect to sell computers when people are always convinced that a better …
    in The New G5 PowerMacs Comment by spooky June 2004
  • Hi guys, thanx 4 your replies. I don't mind confessing that it really freaked me out! I use macjanitor every week, repair permissions with disk util every 3 or 4 days and run cache out X every 2 weeks. I don't install anything I do not need -…
    in why would jaguar Freeze Comment by spooky April 2004
  • Alternatively, in order to increase its marketshare Apple (who? 8) ) could always advertise. radical, I know but . . .
    in This is why Apple's market share doesn't grow... Comment by spooky March 2004
  • Does anyone know why exactly apple moved to AGP? I was always under the impression that it was supposed to herald a new era of choice for Mac users. by aopting the same standard as PCs 3rd party developers would be able to produce agp cards for mac …

  • Hi guys, here's the latest: I moved the safari plist out of the prefs folder and when I restarted the mac a number of things happened. firstly the mac hung in the finder!! It wouldn't restart. so I force quit and relaunched the finder only …
    in Is X inherently unstable? Comment by spooky February 2004
  • Hi guys, well after backing up most of my stauff (just in case!) I did the old archive and install. I then went and added all the system updates I had before - up to 10.2.6. The good news: X is faster to boot and definitely feels snappier i…

    in Is X inherently unstable? Comment by spooky February 2004
  • Hi Kickaha, I currently have 19.33GB free (on a 27Gb HD) according to the finder. as far as I can remember I have never had less than 19GB free is this enough or should I get a bigger HD?
    in Is X inherently unstable? Comment by spooky February 2004
  • Hi Guys, I've tried a number of things people have mentioned here. Disk Utility. I've repaired permissions several times (including via the jaguar CD) - although I have to say that I tend to fix permissions weekly anyway - even though I don't…
