    Disk Failure

    I've used 'Data Rescue'' with good results several times..so if - you really, really want some of those data back - you have not been messing around so much with the drive that files are probably overwritten - The drive still spinns (and sounds like it's spinning with some consistency) - and...

    Fonts, OSX (Classic) and Suitcase?

    Have used Font Doc for 'clearing up' the fonts at the beginning - to be sure to have only OK fonts on the system. Font Doc has not been run since - don't think the users know it is there at all. Suitcase 11 allegedly does not run Classic - or so Extensis support told me - so it's the 'latest'...

    Weird OS X problem....

    Sorry - I stand corrected...with red ears.. However I just spend the time between our two posts to try out a few things on a couple of PB's. One of the (successful) attempts was to simply copy the startup folder from an install CD (Assuming that you have a full version somewhere?). And then...

    Weird OS X problem....

    The 9.2.1 "update" from Apple Downloads installs fine with the 'new Systemfolder' option - i.e. without previous system folder on the 'puter. ..but maybe this only applies to the 'Int'l English' and 'Dannsih' versions of the software, which I have been using to do this operation a number of...

    2. For some programs, when i try to install them to my hard disk I get a message half way through the installation saying that the program cannot be installed there because no system folder was detected. Then the installer program just quits and i am left with nothing installed on my hard...

    Weird OS X problem....

    Go to Apple's software downloads. Pick 9.2.1 AND 9.2.2. (in relevant language edition) Download both. The 9.2.1 will probably install nicely (if you have a newer system folder - you decide while running through the installation process that you would like to install a new System folder etc.)...

    SMB, CUPS -whatever- print oddities

    I'm not sure - I always have my customers change all prefs to ASCII as opposed to Binary in all printing dialogs - to be sure to avoid the problem. I suppose you have to go into the deeper descriptions of 2000 and XP - but my immidiate bet is that the same applies. We're down on the printing...

    Try looking at this: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q158/9/03.asp Granted the doc is an older one, but the info is still valid. Personally I have been talking to Lexmark and HP ('at some length' and with a pretty large portion of their 'assorted tech'ies'.). Both...

    OS X Color Calibration

    Souds like a feasible solution. I am always having the problem of 'how far should I go' to adjust an installation. If you don't mind, I will use your method in non-critical installations from now on. (I mainly work with high-end printers and reprographic installations - but have a number of...

    OS X Color Calibration

    Rather a big Q - try spending some time browsing around: http://www.apple.com/colorsync/ to get the general idea of the technology and how it is supposed to work... ColorSync is Apple's idea of utilizing the ICC Standard Commission guidelines to create what one popular could call the...

    Unexpected lines in Photoshop doc's

    The plot thickens... I have the following quote fron another bulletin board. These guys had similar problems on 'non-dual-proc' machines: >>Bad RAM, bad hard drive, bad connections or cabling are where you should start looking. If you are saving across a network, add that to the mix.<< I...

    Unexpected lines in Photoshop doc's

    Exactly the problem - one finds out when printing - this is in a 'production' environment and naturally they (or their customers) does not like surprises like this one bit. Problem seems to relate to some sort of discrepancy between the way Photoshop 'acts' on a two-processor machine and the...

    Unexpected lines in Photoshop doc's

    This is an old issue. Have seen the problem as far back as on the 400MHz G4's multiproc. machines. But it still prevails. Description: When saving Photoshop documents to a network drive, the saved file randomly gets a one-two-three pixel horizontal line. There's no error message, so the doc...

    Fonts, fonts and fonts again... Illustrator was originally developed by the Adobe guys not as a useful application, but as a demo as to what one could do with their wonderful (new at that time) PostScript language. After tourinmg and demoing 'Illustrator' - people began finding practical uses...

    Server 'Worries'

    Aha - the tech supp. that installed the server in the first place - installed the whole FTP-part (remote user folder etc.) in the 'Library' folder (!!!) This is probably the reson for the whole server - and in particular the 'User rights' were somewhat 'shaky' and behaved erratically. The...
