 | Hello, It would be helpful to know if there is a server involved, and what program is being used to manipulate the files. I have not had any problems going back and forth with Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 reading files and such. I have a G3 Powerbook … |
| | Hello, It is possible that your battery is fried, or something in the charging circuit. I believe there is a battery reconditioning tool that came with OS 9. My battery on the G3 has been fried for so long that I have forgotten the tools name, but you might be …  |
| | Hello, You can go to the local Apple place, and get a copy of OS X 10.3 and install it from the CD-ROM drive. There is an option there to format the disk fresh and clean. You can also go into the Disk tools and before you install, partition the … |
| | Re: newbee questions Hello, One thing to consider with the iMac is that your memory slots may be limited. Check inside to see how many slots you have... you might already have 512 MB installed, but have two slots and both are filled with 256 MB. How can you check? Go to the … |
| | Hello, I have set many of these things up. Be happy to help you here. First, a couple of clarifications. A HUB / SWITCH is a network device that connects computers and other network devices (shared scanners, printers, maybe a fax machine/copier) with each other. Hubs share all traffic; Switches … |
| | Hello, First, please spell out the words. We say "because" here, not bcoz. Think of it as training for the professional world. Most of us here speak / write American English, although a few good folk come from overseas, and you will see British spellings. You get the point. :) … |
| | Re: help Hello, I believe that there is a flag on the icon from within Windoze that controls window behavior. Look for something along the lines of closing window when done executing. Look in the Program tag, and uncheck "Close on exit". Christian |
| | Hello, What kind of computer is it? Has this just started happening, or been doing this for a while now? What OS version? I notice that my Powerbook will fade the screensaver away, and work just fine. Waking up from sleep can be a problem once in a while. Also … |
| | Hello, Wild guess: the encoding on the CSI disks are of a compression scheme that is very intense, and the laptop was working very hard to display the movie. Christian |
| | Hello, You should format the computer, and start it over from scratch. If the programs on there that you want to keep are not legally licenced to you (in other words, if she sold the computer, but not the disks and software rights with it), then you have no business … |
 | Hello, Check to make sure that the Everyone group can print to the printer. Go to your XP machine, and look at the permissions of the printer object. You might also need to hammer out the UNC path of the printer explicity. \\DanisFondXPBox\printername I also fully agree to let one …  |
| | Hello, What is Aquisition? Christian |
| | [B]Intro[/B] In one of the Forums, the question was asked on how to setup a RedHat 9 server so that it manages network connectivity within the home, and provide services to Windoze clients. This tutorial will address how to setup a RedHat 9 Server that will Firewall and provide services … |
| | Hello, Do you have any USB hubs in the circuit? USB has a power sensitivity issue... each device can only draw so much power, and then you overload the bus. I have not seen this problem, but then again, if I have more than 2 USB devices up and running, … |
 | Hello, I would trigger something that could write to the event log. That way, you could examine it and see remotely what is going on. You could also comeup with a crontab that checks every minute for the exe running. Have that code write a log entry when that program … |
| | Hello, I am thankful for my laptop, with just one fan that every once in a while turns on. The server has 4 large 3" fans for the case, and a set of CPU fans. They are thermo-statically controlled, so that they only go faster as they are needed. Sometimes, … |
| | Hello, It sounds to me that the computer is stuck sleeping. Disconnect the power, and all the batteries. Let it sit "dead" for a minute or two. Then try to power it back up. Hope that helps, Christian |
| | Hello, Are you logged in as a user with administrator permissions? If so, you might need to do two things: enable the root user (and use it to change the permissions) and/or run a permissions repair on the volume. I would first open up the Disk Utility, and repair permissions … |
| | Hello, Ah, debuggers. I liked the kind we had on VAX/VMS that we could use. As an intern, I got a head of the game a little bit and found out ways to customize the debugger so that it would leave certain parts of the screen alone, so that the … |
| | Hello, I think you have the wrong license for what you are trying to do. If your disks do say "for sale with a new computer only" it implies that you got a PC with it, and you want to restore it to the specs of that computer release. The …  |
| | Hello, What version of Mac OS X are you working with? USB or network? I would do a disk permissions repair, and a disk scan. Christian |
| | Hello, I prefer Firefox as it is clean and efficient, and cross platform. Firefox tends to render the same across the OS's, from what I can tell. I also adore the popup blocker. Christian |
| | Hello, I am a guy, and I find it acceptable. I find "acceptable" if I would not have a problem standing up in church and telling it. If there was sex, or hateful remarks in it, the person would be banned. There are a lot of jokes out there abound... … |
| | Hello, Sure can. Actually a good programming procedure. main() is a function, just like factorial(), or maybe openfile() or fillarray(). The thing that makes main special is that it is "called" first. What you want to do is just fine. Local variables are the way to go! Christian |
| | Hello, Not a direct answer for you, but wondering if Squirrelmail will do what you are looking for. Either that, or try eGroupWare. I have run both of them under linux before, and setup was average difficulty. Enjoy, Christian |
| | Hello, I do not remember the exact syntax, but you need to loop until you reach the end of file. Otherwise your program just makes one iteration. Christian |
| | Hello there, It will always return no match, because the two pointers do not equal each other. Think about it for a quick moment.... what is an array? An array is a pointer to a data structure with elements inside it. For example: stringa = pickle stringa[1] == p stringa[2] … |
 | Hello, With 1.2 GB, you will be hard pressed to install *everything*. Where you go will depend on what you want the computer to do. Since it is a laptop with limited space, I would suggest the following: 256 MB SWAP partition /var 300 MB partition (this is where the …  |
| | Hello, Do you know what caused this? What Windoze OS are you running? Is this DOS? If the drive is coming up that you can see it, I doubt it would be the IDE interface. SOmething else is at work, and probably not a good thing. I would be surprised … |
| | Hello, Are you trying to copy a PURE DOS hard drive to another drive? Then XCOPY will work just fine. And Windows 3.1. If there is *any* form of Windows involved from 95 onwards, the XCOPY command will not move the registry along, and you will not achieve the expected … |
| | Hello, It is possible that the password was fat-fingered, or possible that the home directory of that user doesn't exist, or permissions are mangled within it. Login as the root user, and use the passwd "username" command again to set the proper password. Remember that Linux passwords are case sensitive. … |
| | Re: what is EIDE EIDE is Expanded IDE, Expanded Integrated Drive Electronics. IDE could only handle hard drive sizes to 528 MB or so. EIDE got around that barrier. You may use an EIDE drive inside a IDE Motherboard. Check out: [url]http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/E/EIDE.html[/url] Christian  |
| | Hello, I am locking this thread before it gets out of hand. There is no way anyone here can know if it is for homework, or for pleasure, or for work/job reasons. With the amount of students out there, the assumption is made that it is homework related. What we … |
| | Re: Cherry OS hype? Hello, According to INTERNIC, the domain cherryos.com is registered to a company out in Hawaii, and is only good for one year. Makes me feel uncomfortable that they would only bring out the domain name for only one year. Sink or Swim comes to mind. I think the best Mac … |
| | Hello, My guess is that the OS recognizes your unit as a read-only device, and that at the OS level, it doesn't want to enable writing. The system Profiler is a pure read tool... it will not make settings changes for you. I purchased a Sony CD-DVD RW external USB … |
| | Hello, I am guessing that your permissions are out of whack. Boot with the CD-ROM System Disk, and when you get to the Welcome! screen, go to the Blue apple in the upper left corner, and click down on it. YOu should see the option to run the Disk Utility. … |
| | Re: Disc won't eject Hello, Have you tried dragging the disk / cd-rom to the trash, and seeing the trash turn into an "eject button" ? Does that work? The emergency open technique described above should only be done as a last resort. If you do need to do it, be sure to save …  |
| | Re: RH9 Problem Hello, This can be solved using either /usr/bin/Xconfigurator, or by working the System Preferences --> Display program. Xconfigurator might be phased out... cannot remember. Don't give up on it... There is an answer. And Welcome to Linux. If you are just starting out with it though, you might want to … |
| | Hello, For that high-level question, let's see if we can give you a high-level answer... * Become familiar with linux commands. df and fsck are good ones to know about. * Make friends with the /etc directory where the configuration information is stored. * Know how to edit /etc/fstab * … |
 | Hello, He may have purchased Linux on CD-ROM as if you are on a dialup, it is not feasible to obtain the disks in a timely fashion. Not everyone has high speed. A lot of distros do use rpm's. I cannot name them all, but Fedora and RedHat do... rpm …  |
| | Hello, Has this configuration worked for you in the past, or is this a brand new installation? This is also SCSI... wondering if you are powering the laptop off properly before hooking all the cables up. SCSI is not hot-swap like USB/Firewire. Christian |
| | Hello, First, what is TDM? Targeted Disk Mode. Back in the day of the first Mac laptops, and I think it was System 7, you could take a Mac laptop that had a special SCSI Cable (it was missing a pin) and using a control panel setting, turn that laptop … |
| | Hello, It depends on what you are using for software base. If you have eliminated *ALL* of your OS 9 materials, and you are certain that you will not need them tomorrow, then you may remove those 9.2.2 materials. I would keep the System Folder intact, however, to minimize restoration … |
| | Hello, My best GUESS is that the OS is damaged, and you should re-format it and set it up properly from scratch. It is possible that a bunch of device drivers are damaged or out to lunch, and that is corrupting your system. Get the data off NOW, and re-build … |
| | Hello, You might want to look at the Accelerate Your Mac website.... [url]http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/[/url] Christian |
| | Hi, I always keep my start page at [url]www.google.com[/url] as it is a clean page, loads instantly, and no ads from other servers waiting to show up on my screen. Christian |
| | Hello, First, you need comments. Every function should be commented out on what it does, and what the variables are. Insightful commenting will help out anyone trying to read the code. I am surprised your class doesn't seem to require it... and no, comments are not to be written AFTER … |
| | Re: subracting Hello, I would enter the numbers into an array, and then have the computer do a bubble sort on them. With the Bubble, the largest value will be on the top ( array[0] ) and the largest value would be on the bottom ( array [5] ) . Code for …  |
 | Hello, It is possible that the program installed materials into your system folder tree, perhaps into some of the library files. I would also agree that if your emails to the author are not being returned, or are harassing, unloading the software is a great idea. If you start loosing … |
| | Hello, Does the computer try to mount the drive? Do you hear any clicking? Does Norton give you the chance to scan the IDE/SCSI bus and see if the drive is a member? Does Apple's Disk Utility show the drive? It is possible that the hard drive's controller board is … |
The End.
