I'm not 100% sure but I think that Carbon Copy Cloner can make a disk image
of an OS X partition...

Making a back-up of iBook drive?

[John]

Okay, I need some advice here. My hard drive in my iceBook quit on me 
about a month ago. Machine wouldn't boot from the drive, but I could 
boot from the install CD, but drive setup couldn't see the HD. I was 
playing around with it tonight, and I started it up, and while it was 
trying to boot I kept rapping with my knuckles on the bottom of the 
machine right under the hard drive. After about three times it began the 
boot process and started normally. Now, I know that is "band-aid" thing 
and the drive is on the way out, so I would like to somehow back up the 
contents of the drive to my Sawtooth over my network. How can I do this? 
I tried ( on the iBook) to make a disc image under disc utility, but 
when I did, it gave me an error "device is busy". What am I doing wrong? 
Or is there a better way? I don't have an external drive that I can 
connect to it, but I really need to come up with a way to do this so I 
can simply restore after I replace the drive, and not have to start all 
over from scratch. Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated!
Thanks!

Pop the keyboard up, flip it over and put it where your wrists would 
go.  You'll find the serial number either on the iBook itself, or on

DiskSurveyor is exactly the sort of thing ye seek, though it's for OS9 so 
I dunno if it'll work under Classic:


A nice app, but I never used it enough to justify buying. Don't know what 
else similar is out there though.

It will sort the folders by size.  

Freeware unless you want to use the "delete" button which will cost you 
like $15 which (unlike Norton) will go to support a Mac OSX developer who 
have been around since NeXTSTEP days.

Have your tried a total reset?, ie

remove AC adapter, battery and backup battery (for 15 minutes or so) and
put them back
boot up into Open Firmware pressing down the keys Cmd-Opt-O-F
type the following on the command line with a return at the end of every line

reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all

Machine will reboot after the last return, now do PRAM reset by pressing
down the keys Cmd-Opt-P-R while booting. Listen to the chime twice or so,
then release and let normal reboot take place.

Now, reenter settings like date and time and some others than have been
reset and turn off the computer and let it sit (or use it and turn it off
as usual).

The reason for this suggestion is that I'd suspect erroneous or scrambled
data in PRAM or NVRAM very well could cause this kind of behaviour. It's
my belief startupschedules must be stored in some form there. But no
guarantees..

Unless one use Ethernet-equipped printers. No Appletalk over serial

as you say.

XPF3 have now been released and IMHO 10.3.x with a BETA XPF3 was *much
better* than 10.2, at least on my now sold PDQ (Wallstreet II). 
I also had none of the problems the XPF docs mentioned (they may have
been removed now), except for distorted sound in.

Re: advice re secondhand laptop configuration NEW

[Mikael Byström]

Also, make sure you have all your serials at hand. If there are apps you
don't want to use, I'd try and run the installer and choose "deinstall"
if possible, or perhaps use the "DeInstaller" application.
Anyone have suggestions for the best deinstallation app?

Personally though I prefer to reinstall everything including reformatting
the HD, but make your own choices.

Seriously, though, this puts off the pain of deciding, and the worse

It's also a self correcting problem, because by the time you fill up

You can set the Finder to calculate folder sizes; where you see this

box calculate folder sizes.

Re: advice re secondhand laptop configuration NEW

[wingnut]

in OSX go to the System Preferences application .. select Accounts. Add 
a new account making sure that the new one can administer the computer 
... log out of the existing account, log in as the new account ... 
delete the old account.   All of the previous users preference file

there are subtle differences in each version of OSX .. 10.3 will allow 
you to delete the folder for real instead of saving it in the "deleted

Something caused it to think it needed new prefs.
Go to the System Prefs and click on Accounts. Create a new account for 
yourself. MAKE SURE IT'S AN ADMINISTRATOR. Sorry to shout but that's a 
vital, vital step.

Now log off as the old user, and in as you new user.  Go back to the 
Accounts prefs and delete the old user. You'll be asked if you want to 
create a disk image of their old file; I'd do so, just in case.

Now you're the user on the system, you can set it to automatically boot 
into your account , etc.

Doesn't Norton Utilities give you something like this - I haven't used it

Question about drive usage/visualization software

[Imal Tornapart]

Hi all,

I once had a program for PC that allowed visualization of the space used on
the HD. It displayed a visual graph of how much room was being used by each
file and directory on the drive, on a single screen, allowing quick
maintenance of big chunks of dead storage. Totally simple and effective!

Does anyone know of something similar for the Mac?  My recently obtained PB
firewire is running low on room and I don't relish the idea of picking and
choosing from 20GB worth of unfamiliar stuff to decide what I'll keep..
failing that, what's your favorite utility for HD maintenance?

Dan

I would imagine that the AC/Sound card was toasted or maybe the motherboard.
The CPU could also be damaged but I would imagine that in case of a power
failure somewhere, the first component in line is the AC/Sound board so that
makes it my likely candidate. If you open your Wallstreet, a visual
inspection might give you a clue as to what has burned...

Re: A haunted Lombard ?

[George Mogiljansky]

Is there a PC card or other component that is
sensitive to a wireless network?

Can you examine the system logs?

There was a problem with the earlier WS series -
something about the magnetic effect of a spinning HDD
on the sleep function (corrected on the HDD in
question by placing a piece of metal over a portion). 

Or could it be an internal cable that is reacting to a
signal from somewhere?

Could you reproduce the conditions of this incident?

It has a clean install of OS 9 on it, nothing in energy saver.

Well, if both printers are serial, then you would not be able to use them in
OS X, unless you get a USB to serial adapter like the Belkins' one. If you
do get that kind of adapter, then I would suggest a Pismo. Otherwise, a
Wallstreet might be better since it has serial ports but, remember, you
won't be able to run OS X and print. Furthermore, if you go with a
Wallstreet, the last officially supported version of OS X to run on it is
10.2, although the "hack" XPostFacto apparently lets you install 10.3 on a
Wallstreet and other officially unsupported Macintosh...

What do you mean exactly by "switches itself on"? Is it sleeping or

Having both a Lombard and a Pismo, I personally say Pismo. The 
difference you will see between OS X performance will be big. The 
Lombard is acceptable, but if you want to do anything that uses OpenGL, 
watch the occasional DVD, etc, the Pismo is then your only choice. The 
Lombard's video chip is pretty poor (of course, I started on a Voodoo 3 
back in 1999 for my 8600, which still beats out the Rage 128 Mobility 
in the Pismo), so the quality of anything 16-bit isn't great, but you 
need 16-bit to get video speed from it. The firewire is a plus too.

Re: advice re secondhand laptop configuration NEW

[Thomas Ethen]

I purchased a iBook 12" G3 and left it the way it was set up from the
previous owner, just adding my own software. Last night when I booted to
OSX, it had reset the dock and eliminated my new software from the dock,
even though it remained installed on the iBook. It also reset everything to
the old owners settings, such as e-mail settings and zeroed out my settings
on my new programs, like sites on Golive, e-mails in Entorage and custom
settings on Photoshop.

Any idea why and how I can get rid of the previous owners information
without clearing the HD and starting over from scratch installing all my
software over?

Re: advice re secondhand laptop configuration

Of the three, Pismo. Lombard and Wallstreet the Pismo is the better choice
if you can live without the SCSI and Serial connection, although there are
adapters that will allow those connections on the Pismo alos.

iTunes? That's what I would have done. My apologies for being the
audiophile I am. Not that I live up to my own standards, but that's for
pure economic reasons.

advice re secondhand laptop configuration

[kaldav]

Hello,
I would value people's suggestions regarding a laptop to purchase second hand.
It needs to be faster than my 3400, run both OS9 and OSX, preferably 
able to boot into OS9 as I have software to run and little for OSX.
What would be the model to get (a Pismo?), the optimum ram and hard 
drive size needed to run this effectively.
Presently I have serial connection printers (Epson 600 and Apple 
Stylewriter 2500) but would not find changing the printer to USB, 
etc. a factor.
Thanks.
