Dan,

If you don't have an account with the same short (or login) name on the
remote computer, you'll have issues with permissions all the time.

If you really need to do it, then make sure that the files on your Mac are
set to be read/write by others. Make sure that you can write to the
destination folder on the remote Macintosh. You can try to manually copy one
item from the location you want to backup to the remote folder in the
Finder. Then, check the resulting file on the remote computer. If the file
is fine, then any sync program should be able to do the job, unless they try
to mess up with the permissions.

Have you tried my synchronization tool?

Backing up over a WLAN

[Dan Colwell]

I'm having some difficulties here. I have tried SilverKeeper, but it 
has changed ownership on some files.  I have Retrospect, Synchronize! 
Pro X and CCCloner. I tried one of these with no luck and am confused 
on the setup of another. I'm frustrated.

I don't need a bootable copy. I have a bootable CD made with BootCD. I 
just want something to back up to easily and use in case of any failure 
or problem. I have a LaCie 160G external firewire drive hooked up to my 
daughter's iMac. I am networked through my Belkin wireless router. This 
would make it easy for me to start a backup overnight from my room 
while I sleep (although the last backup with SilverKeeper took 
something like 12 hours and duplicated my files instead of updating 
them).

I can follow instructions well. I have successfully setup my network 
made many changes to my laptop. But for whatever reasons not much luck 
with backing up.

Anybody have success with a particular program?
I am using a Pismo 400MHz, 40G hard drive (half full),OS 10.3.4 with an 
airport card.

Thanks for helping,
Dan-

I would suspect that during some migrations, some international files were
left over. You could maybe try to re-install a minimal system over your
current installation, making sure that you have the additional language
selected. However, if you already upgraded to 10.3.4, the system installer
might not want to install 10.3 over that installation.

Another thing you could do which would probably be less risky would be to
use Pacifist to open the packages that the 10.3 installer use to install the
system and do a search for your language.

Yes, it's only in the Finder I have this problem. That's why I went
looking for finderrelated settings files. Earlier, some of the folders
had names in my language, but over a few migrations between machines I
lost those as well. As the only common denominator is my home folder,
there must be something in there. AFAICT it's not a preferences file, at

I'll second that. I also have been using Safari and only Safari for the

Also I can't remember an "OS 9" like crash since well I'm not sure

one in OS X. I was a very late comer to OS X but I don't even give it 
much thought
now. Not needing to restart unless I install something. What a 
concept

Wish I had more knowledge on how to fix your problem.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Re: Clamshell ibook, dead cd drive: how to install os X?

[Jeff Hubatka]

From: Rajah James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Clamshell ibook, dead cd drive: how to install os X?
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 2004 22:59:49 -0400
The title says it all. I've been given a Blueberry clamshell ibook with
a broken cd drive, which also starts up with the flashing folder deal.
I quit running OS 9 some time ago, and I'd like to load OS X as it says
that this is supported on the spec page. I plan on installing Jaguar.
What is the best way to go about doing this?
The way that I've thought of is to install a spare 9 gig laptop drive
into my Pismo, install OS X on it, then take it out of the Pismo and
put it  into the ibook. This seems like a big hassle, so there's got to
be an easier way, right? Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
PS - While I'm in there replacing the hard drive, how hard is it to
install an airport card? Any experiences with performance?
It's easy to install an Airport card, extremely difficult to install a 
hard drive. The Pismo swap method will work, but be prepared to spend 
hours getting to the original iBook hard drive. Of course if you do 
that you may as well replace the CD with a CDRW while you're in there. 
You may be able to install OSX via an external USB, since the Blueberry 
doesn't have FireWire.

Very easy. As for performance, better reception than current Powerbooks
