I'm about to send in my external firewire drive for reapair. How would I go about secure erasing my files on this drive?

Yes I did install the OS9 drivers. Thanks for the info. I will start my install right now.

I recently wiped my whole system and reinstalled Panther. Can I still install system 9? I would like to add this operating system to my computer without wiping out OSX. How would I go about doing this?

I was having issues with my external drive and decided to run Disk Warrior. When I tried to run the app a message came up saying I should get info on the Disk warriror disk it'self and check off the ignore privilages feature in order to run the disk.. I did so, ran the app, and was able to...

What is the best app for converting a DVD back to a DV file? I am thinking of backing up all my video over to DVD. Eventually I know I will need to use a clip from one of my DVD. Has anyone done this?

No. This drive burns and plays DVDR+, -,RW+,RW-. And it has burnt + & - many of times. Well nevermind. For some reason the discs show up now. That's what I get for buying cheap media.

Just tried out these HP DVDR+ 8X discs I got from Officemax. For some reason my computer won't mount these discs anymore. It did last night and now it doesn't read them. My computer can read any other discs. What gives?

I have had no problems since I took the chip out. It's been two days without a single application crash. I will leave this chip out permanetly. And it will be replaced with a new one.

I ran the hardware test and that didn't detect anything either.

What is the maximum RAM you can put into a imac 700 flat panel? Right now I have (or had) 512mb. I was experiencing repeated application crashes (application unexpectedly quit) and kernal errors. I did a clean install on the entire system and I still experienced the crashes. I pulled out...

That is a good idea to back up the home folder. I do have the room. Thanks! How do you get your Itunes/Iphoto lists back? And your internet links? I really don't feel like buying software to back up some of my files.

I'm about to do a clean install on my system. I am in the process of backing up my files. How would I go about saving certain preferences? I backed up my Itunes & Iphoto files on an external drive. How do I back up the playlists? I would like to keep all my lists the way I left them. And...

I just bought a new 160 GB firewire drive. In the Disc Uility window I see my drive showing up twice. "149.1 Oxford" and under it says "NO NAME" Just wondering which one to select? I'm am looking to do basic storage and some video storage (FCP & Imovie). Shoud I format the volume as "Mac...

Has anyone heard of the Unibrain Fire120 Hard Drive. I saw it at Yahoo/shopping for about $50. I had trouble finding a review on this product. $50 for a 120 external firewire drive sounds a little too good to be true.

Has anyone got this itunes error before? "The Itunes Music Library file cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred (-50)." Itunes will work okay for a little bit. Then this error will appear and will not go away. I tried reinstalling. Even reinstalled the whole system (i'm setting...

Iv'e heard it from numerous sources. Final Cut pro books mainly. Your right, 8gb isn't much when it comes to DV video.

Cool. Thanks! The drive configuration is different. It appers that there are 3 drives inside. I believe 2 of them are linked and act as the main drive 18GB. The third is an 8GB drive which is mounted to the desktop as a seperate drive. This may be a good thing, because when I give it back...

My father got a hold of a Mac Server G4/500 Tower. It was used as a server at one point. I am in the process of setting it up for home use. I wiped the drives and did a clean install of Panther. It currently has 2 drives inside. I set one as the operating system and the other as "extra...

My copy is not pirated. I was able to fix the problem today. I found out how through an Apple forum. For some reason I was missing a user "nobody" from my computer. I needed to recreate that user. I am pasting another posting. Not my post.Here's how I did it: (you need admin rights to...

Yes.
