Folder not opening
OS 10.3.9 When trying to open/select a particular folder (3 levels down) in Finder I get the spinning beach ball. The contents had been accessible by navigating via application Open, but now that has become a problem. fsck has been run on boot, and I've done full maintence (permissions; maintenance scripts; optimization; DB updates) using Onyx. No effect. No other folder at that level displays this behaviour. This folder is accessible via terminal, so I know I *can* likely copy/move it and delete the original but I'd rather figure out what the problem is and correct it.

That might fix the problem. .DS_Store is the normally invisible file where Finder stores some metadata associated with the folder, such as last sort order and view type.

broken network
Greetings listers -- All of a sudden my ethernet connection won't connect. It's the simplest possible network, two computers (a BW G3 and a Lombard G-3 PB, both running OS 10.3 and 9.2.2) intermittently tied together with a simple crossover ethernet cable so that they can back each other up and so that I can use whichever seems most convenient -- they virtually mirror each other, or at least they did until the connection broke down a week or so ago. System profiler on both computers shows the ethernet capability as operative, but attempts to connect produce no response from server. Separately, each computer works perfectly. I've used some variant of this system for years, never had any trouble with it till now Here's what I've tried so far. (a) a different ethernet cable (I thought maybe the cat had been chewing on it). No difference. (b) booting up in OS 9: the other computer doesn't appear in the Chooser. (c) reinstalling OS 9 (because I'd stripped it down a lot in the original installation, and thought maybe some crucial file had been omitted). No difference. (d) dragging out my old 5300 and trying to connect each of the current computers to that, on the assumption that there had to be a hardware problem in one or the other of them. Neither one could connect. Just for fun I also dragged out my old 1400, that never has had ethernet capability, and tried hooking it up to the 5300 with a serial cable: that DID work, though does nothing to solve the present difficulty. I have no idea what might be wrong, or what to do to fix it. Fortunately I've also got a USB zip drive, so can back up files to that, and transfer them by moving the zip from the desktop to the laptop -- but what a slow cumbersome nuisance! Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Best, Victoria -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Turn off file sharing on both machines. Turn off AppleTalk on both machines. Reboot. Connect the cable. Turn on AppleTalk on both. Turn on File Sharing on both. DO NOT disconnect that cable.

Menu Bar icon removal
Ok, I can't get rid of it. I played taxi for a friend going thru chemotherapy yesterday, and while she was gettng her treatment, I tried to see if the hospital had an open wifi signal.

It sounds like it worked for you. Could I ask what size files you were backing up and how long it took. Since both of my Macs (Cube and the Lombard) are connected through the same router (Cube by ethernet, Lombard wireless) I shouldn't need a crossover cable. Is there any security risk to having file sharing on? I know in the Windows world it's a risk. For what it's worth I'm behind a Linksys wireless router.

Quick Review of Tiger on Pismo
Someone asked the other week if Tiger was OK on a Pismo I got my copy yesterday and loaded it last night (400MHz 512MB 10GB Airport) Only the second evening I've had to play but here's my first impressions It's faster than Panther, and everything seems to run smoother. Dashboard is neat and providing you're online things just set themselves to your home location Mail 2 is a nice improvement - reminds me of Thunderbird and has lost the 'kiddie' look ;-) Spotlight is fast and impressive So shell out some dosh and you won't be disappointed You gotta just love Macs!!

Re: [G-Books] bracket thingy
Yes it doesn't consistently display [g-books] however, why not just set up a rule and separate folder on your own system for these messages from the server. Makes it easy and well organized and archived. Michael Cangelosi. Duh... I didn't even know I could do this. Great idea of course. I have only being using Eudora 6.2 for a few months... before that always had the baby version of Eudora Lite...

In 10.3 the relevant name does appear in the Connect box, but that's probably just because once upon a time they knew each other very well -- the dialog box reads the same whether or not the cable is connected, so I think it's just a wistful memory.

Re: file sharing over network?
On Oct 19, 2005, at 2:31 PM, Andrew in Ann Arbor wrote: I've never used file sharing over ethernet. I was wondering if it would be fast enough for file backup. It sounds like it worked for you. Could I ask what size files you were backing up and how long it took. Andrew -- it seemed (when it worked) plenty fast enough, although I rarely moved more than a few hundred MB at a time. That would be maybe a minute or two -- fast enough that it seldom seemed worthwhile to try to identify the few items that really did need backing up, simpler just to transfer the whole Documents folder or photo library or whatever. Since both of my Macs (Cube and the Lombard) are connected through the same router (Cube by ethernet, Lombard wireless) I shouldn't need a crossover cable. Since you've got a router you certainly shouldn't. Is there any security risk to having file sharing on? I know in the Windows world it's a risk. I don't know what it would be, unless some evil-intentioned person had access to one of the computers and could invade the other one that way -- not a problem in my case, though for some people it probably would be.

Re: file sharing over network?
Might seem silly, but have yolu tried a new cable between the two computers? It's possible that a bad wire's showing itself as causing trouble.
