I mean.. wow. Good info.

No, not really.

Safari stores it's cached files in ~/Librar/Caches/Safari/ and then in subfolders that are numbers 00, 01, 02, 03, etc, and then in further subfolders with similar numbering...

You can look on ebay however for an idea of what similar systems are being sold for..

I would say that Panther would be a better solution for you and your iBook. I have no idea what it's worth or what you could get for it. Check on eBay for comparision ideas.

Tiger is a VERY processor intensive OS. And that means it'll run slowly on the G3. And 512MB of RAM is really the decent minimum to run Tiger. Unfortunately, you're running well below that, which...

You should just invest in an external hard drive. It also sounds like you don't have a backup solution. That's begging for trouble.

I assume this is a USB zip drive? And you've pressed the eject button and the disc won't eject? Have you looked on Iomega's website for support on how to get a stuck ZIP disc ejected?

Yes...

But before we get into that, after you trashed the files on the MP3 player, did you EMPTY the trash? I suspect not. If you do that, I think you'll regain your missing space.

Otherwise,...

That's not enough RAM at all. And that's part of the reason Tiger is so slow. It's SUPER RAM hungry. You would be best advised to Max out the RAM and you'll see a huge difference.

BE careful...

Unfortunately, most of the speed issues you're seeing is in the RAM requirements and the kernel. There's really not much you can do to streamline it without hacking and recompiling the kernel.

As...

Are you an administrator?

You're SOL. To watch requires an ActiveX plug-in, which is ONLY for Windows. There's nothing you can do for your Mac.

Premissions Repair doesn't affect anything in one's home directory. Permissions Repair ONLY compares the Bill of Materials archive's set permissions in /Library/Receipts/ to those of the installed...

Sounds like you have Norton System Works installed. My first suggestion would be to disable and remove it. It causes nothing but trouble.

Partitioning (the safest way):
Boot from the Panther installer CD/DVD. Run Disk Utility (from the Installer pull-down menu I think), select the drive (the manufacturer specific drive, not the...

Log in as another user and see if the problem persists there.

Most likely you have to enter the Hexidecimal version of the password. The router should have the hex version listed on the control webpage (you'll have to view it from someone's PC).

The problem is with the ATA hardware in your Mac. Only the last version of the Quicksilver and all subsequent Mirrored Door Drive Macs can see volumes larger then 120GBs on the internal ATA bus. ...

If you're running Panther, "Secure Empty Trash" is a removal and 3 (or more) time overwrite of the disk space the file(s) occupied. It's built into the OS.

Ah.. 5 upscale chimes..

As in "BLOU do Do DO DOO"? <-- yeah I know :)

That's the "Death Chime", a very bad sign indeed. It means the computer failed it's POST (start up test). Which likely...

Open Photoshop -> File pull-down menu -> "Browse..."
Navigate to the folder where you downloaded them from the camera..

They should all be available to you now.

After you've uploaded them,...

Could be that the monitor is dead (does it turn on?), or that the video componant on the logic board is dead. But first I would try to zap the PRAM.

Restart and hold down Apple-Option-P-R,...

Don't ley iPhoto import your photos. Try using /Applications/Image Capture to download the pictures off your camera and save them on the hard drive. That will at least skip the iPhoto import/export...

There are, but Panther automatically defrags and files that are over a certain size (20MB I think). Really, defragging isn't necessary in OS X. Speed gains are minimal.

I hate that they classify this as a virus. At best, it's a rootkit or a trojan. A virus or worm implies that it can replicate itself, which it cannot.

I'd dispute that the Apple-supplied-control for the built-in firewall is useful at all. It actually renders the firewall (ipfw) nearly worthless. If you are concerned about protecting yourself with...
