It sounds like you don't have Virex, Norton Systemworks or AV, or VPC. If you have Virex or either Norton, then I would uninstall them immediately (especially Virex and Systemworks--installers available at McAfee and Norton websites); they are not good with Tiger. VPC also causes problems for...

I get more bars, but can't discern better performance. I have not yet seen an explanation for the phenomenon. Maybe the signal-strength indicator now is more or less accurate.

One of the requirement for installing Tiger is having firewire. I have seen various reasons for this requirement, but I am not sure what the correct reason is. Also, as I recall some have installed Tiger, and it appears to be working well (enough), without having firewire. I don't know if you...

He says he has an external. I hope what I said wasn't technobabble since babble, techno or otherwise, doesn't make. It made sense to me. I would hope that if he didn't get it and was interested, then he would post back and ask questions.

Kernel panics can be software or hardware related--more frequently software related. You may have an extension conflict. Startup in single user/verbose mode (i.e., with extensions off) and see if you have panics. If not, then you have an extension conflict which needs to be resolved. I don't...

Additional memory adds no performance increase if you don't need it as evidenced by excessive pageouts or many, or excessively long spinning, SBBODs. Generally speaking, many Macs will take more memory that their manuals indicate. For example, the "max" on older iBooks was 640 MB. But, they...

1. I don't know. 2. ctrl-click is as close as you can come to right click on Windows.

With your setup, I would reformat the internal and install Panther cleanly (i.e., archive and install/preserve user and network settings) or custom erase and install. Each has its advantages, depending on .... Before doing so, I would clone your 9.2 system to a partition on the external if it is...

I would install on the 80 and leave the 9 for file backup. If anything, you will get a performance decrease splitting your system and files. The only way that would not be true is if you are bumping up against hard drive capacity and, thus, not allowing virtual memory to function properly or...

You can do what you want with your iTunes/iPod by using the iPod in hard-disk mode. I am not sure about the purchased music. Backup 2 backs up music purchased from ITMS as well as all the important/wanted files on your Mac. You could use your student discount, join .Mac, and use Backup 2. My...

Right. Maybe I don't know what he meant. Maybe he's thinking, for example, clone one's internal to a firewire. Install Tiger (a legal copy) from another Mac on the firewire. Then, clone the new Tiger installation back to the original internal. That's, what I did except there was no intervening...

Great question. I've always wondered where the SBBOD is--to improve my Avatar. Really!

You can just call me Ghost--like my friend (the) Shadow. ~(:^) You are very welcome. Your OS should prebind automatically. I have no idea why you had so many "unbound" files. That problem should be fixed now.

Check out software update. There is an update pertinent to QT 7.

I recently began using Backup 2 (.02) (neat program) to backup jillions of things from my internal to an external firewire. I have a few questions and am hoping that those who have had experience with Backup 2 can help. 1. No matter how creative I get, I can't liberate an individual file or...

On the PC, go to "My Network Places," and select "Add a Network Place." Then, "Choose another network location ..." Enter your Mac's IP address as others have mentioned. To find it, go System Preferences > Sharing on your Mac, and check the "Windows Sharing" box. Your IP address will appear...

Yes, and yes. I installed Tiger each way on different partitions of my external (cloned 10.3.9 to 2 of them first). All installs worked perfectly. I cloned the erase and install/Migration-Assistant import version to my internal. I had no reason to choose this version except that I predicted that...

You are very welcome, and good deal.
