Folder not opening

2005-10-19 Thread Frank P. Eigler
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.

Thoughts?

Do you know roughly how many items the folder might contain? Also, I'm not
sure if Disk Utility uses 'fsck' when verifying a disk but a few times, Disk
Utility would report no problem with a given disk while TechTool would
report problems...

Look for a file .DS_Store in terminal in that folder, and delete 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. If that's corrupted, it might cause  
the problems you're seeing. This isn't something that fsck or Disk  
Repair would find.

broken network

2005-10-19 Thread Victoria Brandon

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

Wow, Victoria, that IS a head-scratcher.  Am I understanding you correctly, to 
say that the BW sees the Lombard, and the Lombard sees the BW, but they 
just won't connect?

I'll send this and then get back with you when I find my Sherlock Holmes 
hat...now, where did I put it?

Using a crossover cable makes for a twitchy set-up at best. 
intermittently?  You mean you unplug that cable now and then... I'd 
expect that to eventually cause a failure as the networking (IP 
and/or AppleTalk) stacks get out of sync with the drivers which get 
out of sync with the cables' CTS.


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.  AppleTalk's driver requires a CTS 
signal from the ethernet cable at all times.  In a normal set-up, a 
hub would supply this, allowing you to disconnect the other computer 
etc.


HTH,
- Dan.

Re: T-book has to be forced to shut down...

My 15 Ti-book, 800MHz, 1 GB RAM, running OS 10.4.2 will not shut

Repair the drive then repair permissions.

Make sure you don't have any broken shutdown items running.

I read Luis' post on getting his Superdrive to work again via the 
Terminal by using cmd-opt-o-f and then typing eject cd reset-nvram 
reset-all.


Not terminal (the Unix command shell).  Holding down opt-cmd-O-F at 
restart puts you into the Open Firmware command shell.  Open Firmware 
is the primary bootstap program, that runs out of your Mac's Boot 
ROM.  It manages the whole boot process (of whatever operating 
systems you have loaded onto the HDs).


Leaving out eject cd command line, would the rest of the commands 
possibly clear the problem or is the solution more likely by 
removing the keyboard and hitting the reset the pmu button?  TIA.


Worth a shot.  Certainly less tromatic than opening the hardware. :)

Someone had this problem recently on one of the lists.  I suggested 
he use shutdown -h now in the Terminal and it worked for him.  Give 
it a whirl.  It's a work around but will help in finding the problem.

I set up a filter to sort by e-mail address in the
To/CC: field (which is the G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com
address in this case). Works fine. Not sure how the
messages come in in Mail or whatever client you are
using. I'm using SBC's web-based reader.

I do sort other lists by the [ ] in the Subject:
line. I do the G-Books and LEM Swap List using the

Yes it doesn't consistently display [g-books] however, why not just set

bracket thingys are totally unnecessary.  They're a crutch for poor

Use mail filters to sort your incoming messages into appropriate mailboxes.

eg: If from = G-Books@ then ...

If your mail client doesn't support filtering and multiple mailboxes, 
then you need to get a newer client, something released in the last 8 
years or so.  Eudora is my personal fav...

Menu Bar icon removal

2005-10-19 Thread Howard Katz
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.  (there was a signal, but I couldn't log on.)

I accidently hit the VPN connection under the Internet Connect (using
Tiger) and it placed an icon in the menu bar.  Now I can't get rid of
it.  I tried thru the internet connection again, and also thru system
preferences, but I can't see anything that really applies.

How do I get rid of that sucker?

Thanks!

Re: file sharing over network?

2005-10-19 Thread Andrew in Ann Arbor

From: Victoria Brandon
Subject: broken network
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 11:04:25 -0700

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.


Victoria
I'm afraid I can't help you troubleshoot your problem since 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.

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.

Thanks

Andrew in Ann Arbor
technology is the answer, what was the question?

If you're in OS X, simply click on the offending icon in the menu  
bar, then hold down the Apple/Command key while dragging the icon to  
the desktop. Let go of the icon and it disappears  with an animated

Quick Review of Tiger on Pismo

2005-10-19 Thread Ian Moffatt
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!!

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.

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

Office 2004 on Pismo slow

2005-10-19 Thread kaldav

Hello,
Does anyone have a suggestion why Office 2004 runs very slowly and 
with erratic mouse (inbuilt) movement in a Pismo? (400 mhz, 576 mb 
ram, 48 gb hard drive)

Thanks.

You gave your hard drive capacity, but not your OS version, which is  
much more relevant.  Office 2004 requires Mac OS X version 10.2.8 or  
later.  If you meet the OS requirement, have you downloaded and  
installed Microsoft SP2 for Office 2004?
