Last year I began implementing Mac OS X 10.3 at the company where I work. One of the issues I had to tackle was backup of client systems to a central server. I tried several off-the-shelf products but none of them were quite right. Some required the administrator to be logged in and run the...

My iBook G4 drive failed-won't boot or mount when attached to another Mac in target mode. So, I'm running DiskWarrior on the host Mac in an attempt to recover the contents (or at least a portion) of the iBook drive. DiskWarrior sees the drive and returns the correct information about it and...

I tried importing my safari bookmarks into Netscape. Instead of selecting "export" from safari, I opted to import the plist file. Through some weird and unexplained behavior, bookmarks were not imported, and the plist file is 4k (all my bookmarks are gone!) Anyway to get them back painlessly...

So.... basically, I had noticed that my Mac has been acting slow lately.... getting the spinning beach ball... and before I could get the chance to back all of my stuff up, the computer starts refusing to be used. Most of the time, it doesn't start up, and when it does, it refuses to do anything...

Does anyone know where i can find a free application that recovers (accidently) erased data? Thanks in advance!

I have a second INTERNAL drive on my G4 PowerMac. It is not the boot drive, but just a second IDE drive. For some reason it quit showing up on the desktop 3 days ago. I've checked the connections and it seems to be running, but doesn't mount. I've tried Norton, Drive 10, TechTool, and Disk...
