Greetings, Once I have erased a hard drive with the "Zero All Data" option checked, is there really some way that someone could STILL recover old files from it (once I sell it)? I ask because I'd rather avoid waiting 36, 48, however many hours for Disk Utility to do "8 Way Random Write" on a...

Greetings, My cable modem is connected to the uplink port of a wireless router. A PC running WinXP Pro is connected via Ethernet to one of the other ports. My iBook has an Airport card, and gets its Internet connection from the wireless router. That's the only thing I've been using the...

Greetings, I have created an M3U file. When iTunes 6.0 opens the URL (either manually, or when the browser throws it over), it loads each of the mp3s into its library as a separate "MPEG audio stream." Thus they are added to iTunes' playlist, and played in whatever order the playlist is set...

Greetings, Can anyone tell me where the package is for Quicken 2003 in the iBook Jaguar disks? I have searched them all with Pacifist, but I can't find it anywhere. Ditto the Panther disks I bought on eBay. I know it's there somewhere, as I have reinstalled it before as part of a complete...

Greetings, I have an 800MHz iBook running Panther 10.3.9. The iBook gets its internet via Airport, from a wireless router in my house. I also have a Dual 1GHz G4 QuickSilver (mostly running 9.2.2) and an 8500 (9.1) I am able to use Internet Sharing by connecting one of the towers to the...

Hi Cheryl, Thanks for the reply! >>Try trashing the pref file. Would that be the "com.apple.screensaver.XXXXXXXXXXXX.plist" file? If so, I already trashed it, and allowed the computer to create a new one. Still no dice. Any other thoughts most welcome. Yih, DM

Greetings, In the "Desktop & Screen Saver" pref panel, when I select "Beach," "Forest," anything other than "Computer Name," I get an error message: The selected folder contains no pictures Yet when I look in System/Library/Screen Savers, there they all are: Beach.slidesaver...

Thanks for your reply, nixgeek. Only the three machines are on the network, and AppleTalk is enabled on all. No biggie; I'll just use "Connect to Server" and save 'em as Favorites. Still, it's curious that Apple would have built something that worked so poorly. Maybe it's better in Tiger, but...

Nevermind... The internal drive is kaput. Gotta get it replaced. Man, am I glad I had an external backup!!

Greetings, I was opening a large TIFF file (4.5MB) with Preview, and the rainbow color pinwheel just kept spinning and spinning. I could hear the hard drive repeating some kind of cycle, over and over, like a drum machine pattern. So, I clicked Command-Control-PowerKey and forced restart...

Um, am I the only one who experiences this? :\ Peace-Out, DM

Greetings, I have an iBook G3, a dual 1GHz G4 Quicksilver, and an 8500 all connected to an Ethernet router. The iBook is usually booted in OS X, the 8500 in OS 9.1, and the Quicksilver in both 9 and X at different times. My question concerns the "Network" window I get when I click the...

Thanks, El-D! Totally did the trick.

Okay, here's the really weird part. The Epson Printer Utility (not OS X Printer Setup Utility) is able to see and talk to the printer. First it says "Searching for printers...", and then it shows a list with one item: CX4600 EPSON USB I can check ink levels, print the nozzle check...

Greetings, I think this is more an OS question than a peripheral question... I had to reinstall Panther on my iBook, and then my Epson CX4600 printer wouldn't work anymore. So I ran the "uninstaller" from the Epson CD, which told me this: "The uninstall was successful. However, some...

Two words: Cache Cleaner iBook now recognizes all files. Life is good...

Greetings, My iBook is connected via an Ethernet hub to my good ol' 8500. I mounted one of its volumes (the 8500's) with "Connect to Server" as I always do. I double-clicked the disk icon, and noticed that it took a couple of seconds for the file icons to fill in. But some of them never...

Greetings, In the Finder I am using "Connect to Server" to connect to a couple of different servers via FTP. One of them is my web space with my hosting provider. The other belongs to a company I do subcontractor work for. I can mount both servers, and copy files OUT of them, but when I try...
