Hello,

A Mac is a computer, and even under OS X, a very cool and awesome OS, it is possible to get a virus. Not likely, but possible.

If you are running on Mac OS X as a local administrator,...

Hi,

He is exactly right, although I thought expander came with OS X. Perhaps you need a more recent copy of it.

Christian

Hello,

Did you open the Monitors control panel, and adjust the display? Perhaps the settings are not correct, such as stuck in 800x600 @ 256 colors.

Were you running OS X before, or did you...

Hello,

I would delete the printer from OS X and install it again. Perhaps some of the settings got mucked up.

Christian

Hello,

I am not sure if OS X will work with OS 9 Font Suitcases or not. I have taken .TTF files from the OS 9 computer and put them on OS X without a problem.

Try moving a single font, such as...

Hello,

I love my MacBook too!

You won't be able to run Classic applications on it, nor will Classic / OS9 programs work with it. If you have such programs, go get your older computer, optimize...

Hello,

Yep, that is the way to go... have the computer behave like an external hard disk. Older Macs used to call it "SCSI DISK MODE", and the newer ones Target Disk Mode. I don't think the new...

Hello,

Just be aware that the new intel Macs do not support classic. If you are going to get into the intel world, that will stop you.

Whatever the case, make sure you get plenty of memory for...

Hello,

Mac OS X is a BSD unix, and you may find packages out there like vsftpd to take care of your issue. Unfortunately, I do not have direct experience with OS X server to offer something more...

Hello,

In your case, the Word Macro virus does all it's damage in Microsoft Word -- and it is on a different layer than the OS. A Macro virus should not affect your OS X install, unless you open...

Hello,

Clean install. You may also consider partitioning your drive into two, so that you can have a System volume, and a Data location.

Christian

Hello,

You can also use a USB thumbdrive, or put the computer on a network, and transfer the files via wire. Worst case would be a USB floppy drive onto a disk...

Also, I had a Powerbook G3...

Hello,

I think it is a great time to make a backup of your current data, and then rebuild the system from scratch. Yes, moving everything to the Applications folder was a bad idea -- I amazed...

Hello,

Welcome to DaniWeb. Hope that you find the community nice and useful.

First, I need to point out a quick note to you -- Macs are not MACs. A Mac is a Macintosh computer, and a MAC is...

Hello,

It is possible that you have a permissions problem. Go into the Disk Utility, and run a permissions check.

Let us know what you find. Your answers are not with AVG or Adaware; those...

Hello,

You *can* use the disks, but that would be illegal, unless you purchased Apple's family pack licensing to allow the disks legal permission to be used on more than one computer. If not,...

Hello,

It is possible that you have a permissions problem, a profile problem, or perhaps you have too many things in the task bar.

Create a different account under OSX, and login. Set the...

Hello,

I just answered a post from you concerning your upgrade and having a problem with disk images. Now that I hear about a "slew of problems", I am more convinced than ever that a backup and a...

Hello,

When you made the upgrade, did you go through an upgrade process, or do a clean install? It is possible that you clobbered something when going through the upgrade options. You may find a...

Hello,

Instead of deleting the post, could we ask you to please type up what you did to fix the problem, so that the next person can give it a try to solve their issue?

Thanks.

Christian

Hello,

If I were you, I would take the System Disks, and rebuild the computer from ground zero. Format and re-build. Yes, you will loose any special software that the previous owner had on it,...

Hello,

An Airport card is basically 802.11(b), and an Airport Extreme is 802.11(g). As long as the Airport can do the basic wireless, you will be alright. You might not have the latest...

Hello Bob,

I am not sure what happened either. I have not see what you are experiencing, so cannot relate. You might need to go back to the manufacturers of the printers, and re-download their...

Hello,

Thank you for coming back and telling us how you solved it. That was my next suggestion... to find it somewhere else and copy it over.

Christian

Hello Jill,

It is possible that you might be able to use Virtual PC to run a Windows on your Mac, and work with the files that way. I did a search on the file format, and it doesn't seem like...

Hello,

Open up disk utilities, and do a permissions scan on your hard drives. It is possible that your permissions are out - of - whack, preventing you from using the program. You can also do a...

Hello,

Are these printers accessed via a network, or are they directly connected via USB / Firewire? I am wondering if something changed on your network connection which could cause the problem....

Hmm.

Somewhere in your computer's lifetime, it was told that file extensions with .sit or perhaps .hqx or perhaps .dmg should be opened in Excel. I am trying to find where you can configure how...

Hello,

You should be able to boot the Mac while holding down the SHIFT button. This will cause the comptuer to load with minimal extensions, in the default mode.

You can also reset the PRAM...

Hello,

Mac OS files have either a resource fork, or some other attribute attached to them to tell the OS what parent application works with the files. For example, the windows people assume that...

Hello,

I use Toast for my CD / DVD burning needs. Lets me setup various items, or do a direct copy, or go to disk image, etc. Love toast.

Christian

Hello Katie,

Have you found an answer concerning this? I am wondering... just found the thread and am curious.

Christian

Hello,

This could be tricky for you concerning the LaserWriter Select. It is a postscript printer, so you should be able to make a printer for it, and use any postscript driver for basic printing...

Hello,

This is the first I have heard of an image coming forth upside-down. I don't have Tiger, but would love to verify the little arrow trick.

Christian

Hello,

Is the Firewire drive enabled for sharing? I have not tried something like this before, so do not know if you even have to enable it or not. But there might be a setting somewhere in the...

Hello,

It sounds like a problem with OS X. Try rebooting in OS X and seeing if it works now.

If not, first go to the System Profiler, and make sure that the OS sees the Optical Drive.

If it...

Hello,

Ah. Hypercard! I remember those days. Very useful document format.

I looked around Apple's site, and found:

http://developer.apple.com/macosx/spotlight.html

Which talks about...

Hello,

I am wondering about the details -- if the drive was cooked, and unusuable, I am surprised he was able to get data off of it. it is possible for the boot / OS part of the drive to be...

Hello,

HAve them determine if it is a hardware error, or software. A fried drive implies hardware problems. If that is the case, prepare to purchase a new one, and get your backups ready.

Hi,

On my Macs, it has always been Apple-Shift-3 to make the picture. I do wish OS X would leave the picture in .pict format instead of converting it to .pdf though.
